Tolkien "Superfans" from the previews proven to be paid shills, didn't even watch the show

We all knew it anyway. One admitted she hasn't even seen the show. None of them have posted about Rings of Power since. None of them have any Tolkien content.

Fake, bought by Amazon to read from a script.

But the gay black kid is going to fix Sauron.

Eh, the first video alone is over 10 minutes long. Why do I need to watch all of these videos to learn what was already obvious after 5 seconds of those people opening their mouths?

I thought this was obvious from the start.

A lot of the show haters are on the other side of the same coin. They never mentioned Tolkien until it was profitable to make videos bashing the show.

They can bash it only if it is bashable.

[–] randir14 (253) 2 years ago

The show sucks and deserves to be bashed. But I can recognize opportunists on both sides.

The difference I guess is that if the content is organic, not paid by a big studio.

[–] mitzibishi (1835) 2 years ago

Why is that a requirement when pointing out that the people that Amazon presented as "Tolkien scholars" and "Superfans" have never posted any content about Tolkien, and have never talked about The Rings of Power since being paid to shill, then showing a video when one of these "superfans" said she hasn't even watched Rings of Power in a dismissive manner.

They aren't proclaiming themselves as Tolkien experts like Amazon did.

Bingo. "Culture wars" is profitable.

I checked Disparu. Another Dumbcock clone who trashes every popular show with daily rants.
Only a fucking loser watches trolls shitting their pants instead of the shows!

You ignore Nerd of the Rings which have far more subscribers and are real fans and LOTR experts. They actually do research and post informative videos.

You only recommend Nerd of the Rings because he's a shill for the show, just like you. Except in your case you do it for free which is even more pathetic.

Which morons think that Youtubers are impartial?

Subscriber-beggars and sellers of merch. How full of integrity and altruism.
