It's a cash grab. Amazon are going to fuck it up like Disney did to Star Wars

PEOPLE WHO SAY CASH GRAB ARE NOT VERY WELL EDUCATED OR INFORMED.

[–] ProgsReturn (2075) 2 years ago

This coming from someone who doesn't know where the 'caps lock' button is.

I'm apathetic.

I'll watch the first episode at least, out of morbid curiosity.

I enjoyed episode one of House of the Dragon too, I'll give this show a miss but will most likely watch a few YouTube reviews for the laughs.

At least House of the Dragon is working from the original author's story.

reply

[–] NotoriousRio (12927) 2 years ago

Episode one felt like a decent episode of Game of Thrones.

reply

[–] TexasJack (12516) 2 years ago

I'll give it a shot since I already pay for Prime.

They are so desperate to get people to watch this that a movie chain is offering a free viewing of the first two episodes, PLUS a $10 food /concession voucher. So they are actually paying people to watch it at a theater, (or hoping you will spend more than $10 out of pocket for food/drinks.)

reply

[–] randir14 (253) 2 years ago

They'll get plenty of people who show up just because it's free. Then Amazon will show the packed theaters in their advertising.

Thought the same thing. Aside from one thing that i won’t mention, House of the Dragon wasn’t too woke and can’t wait to see more.

Rings of Woke can eat crap.

On September 2nd, my dad and brother and I are gonna get out our Extended Edition DVD's and spend the next 6 nights watching Peter Jackson's films. We've already watched "The Hobbit" trilogy recently, so we're ready for the main movies :)

[–] LoveCatsHateDogs (1935) 2 years ago

Hopefully others will follow your example.

[–] JBran (1658) 2 years ago

You watched the Hobbit trilogy? They are over-bloated woke shite.

The Maple Films edit of The Hobbit is the only way to see The Hobbit as Tolkien intended.

reply

[–] randir14 (253) 2 years ago

The Maple edit isn't even the most faithful to the book, the M4 edit is.

reply

[–] JBran (1658) 2 years ago

Not heard of that one before.

Much as we all enjoyed the first three LOTR flicks, they were also made in a world that was pre-Game Of Thrones and The Witcher. Every cinematic attempt to milk a few more pennies out of Tolkien's work is inevitably going to leave the vast majority of people saying to themselves "This is nice, but it's also pretty milquetoast. There's other games in town now, and they feature titties and blood'n'guts, along with dragons."
