Elessar Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Quote This looks like when cosplayers do an engagement shoot. Well, one should not judge the show's look based on those publicity shots. Those are not frames directly out of the show, at least i hope so. 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going from movie Elrond to this is a tough pill to swallow i gotta say. Hopefully his performance is good, then i can look past that.

Menor the Destroyer Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) They are putting hobbit ancestors in this? That seems...weird. If there is a story reason for it it's fine but "we can't do Middle-Earth without hobbits" kinda makes me worried about the mindset. But I'm probably just paranoid about adaptations.

Daxtreme Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hugo Weaving killed it as Elrond in terms of posture, demeanor and acting, but I always felt like he looked a bit too weird to play Elrond. Maybe it's just that I'm so used to his role as Agent Smith that I can't see past that. Regardless, I'm open to new interpretations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Too bad Will Poulter had to leave the show. Unlike the actor who now plays Elrond he actually had some of that Hugo Weaving DNA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Lol jesus, you can't really read anything about this on social media without seeing people bitching about the racial casting. If you seriously thought that a billion dollar Tolkien TV show in 2022 wasn't gonna have some brown people in it, you're just a fucking idiot. It really doesn't matter as long as the casting is inspired and the writing is good. Now, if this ends up like the Wheel of Time where its obvious the only thing the producers gave a shit about was a diversity quota with literally everything else being terrible thats gonna be a big problem and give all the wrong people so much ammunition. The thing I'm most concerned about right now is the look of the show...fingers crossed it looks like Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones and not all digital/CG like The Hobbit or the clean TV-like of The Wheel of Time with awful costume design.

Daxtreme Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Well, the sets and costumes look great, much better than the Vanity Fair shoots. I think they got the overall look mostly right. As for the story though... that remains to be seen. I am cautiously optimistic! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menor the Destroyer Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Looks solid, probably will get a fuller trailer that I can say more about closer to the release date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Roar Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Looks promising, but I still can't get over how weird Elrond looks with short hair. Just give him a wig for Eru's sake! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox20 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 It looks more like the Hobbit visually... Then again I just hope the story is good, I still have no clue what is this about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I like the look of Galadriel, still a bit reserved on everything else. Still need to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Whether it'll be a great LotR show remains to be seen but that was one nice teaser trailer. Beautiful imagery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
