I couldn’t even get through 4 episodes of that terrible Halo show. As a guy who has read 20+ books in that universe that was just fucking garbage.
It’s bad. It’s horrible. I’m not surprised that the producers, writers, and P+ went those routes with the show, but how did anyone at Microsoft read the script and think, “this is great for the brand!”?

I hope it gets cancelled and rebrought up by a better studio.

I’m hoping we never get a remake of LotR from Amazon for a series. I won’t trust anything they do after watching that shit they put out last year or so.
Warner Bros is making new LotR movies

Halo games have been trash for years. Not surprised the show is garbage as well.

Never should’ve revealed Master Chief’s face. Just a stupid decision.

At some point, the total fucking dorks who read books have to understand that you can't have a faithful adaptation of a 400 page book without the audience wanting to blow their brains out from boredom. Like I'm sympathetic to criticisms of things that change the essence of the story or a feature of a character that's core to who they were in the source, but the book wasn't a movie for a reason and vice versa
Exactly why I don't like the Lord of the Rings movies. It isn't what was left out it was the changes that ruined so much of the story.

I read the books in my youth and don't remember 140% of them. What were like the top 3 fuck ups, iyo?

Number one Faramir didn't try to take the ring from Frodo...which is why Denethor hated him and tried to kill him. That alone was unforgivable.
Number two Aragorn NEVER considered Eowyn. He pitied her but wanted nothing to do with her. He was 100% all in on the Elf princess pussy.
In all honesty I've only ever watched them once. i know there were more irritants but I've purged my memory of the rest. Visually and casting wise they are top notch. Things like the Balrog were spot on. Gollum couldn't have been better. It was so close and yet so far from greatness. If I could force myself to watch again I'm sure I could come up with a long list but essentially I don't care enough.

What are your feelings on the Elves at Helm's Deep?

There were elves at Helm's Deep? Other than Legolas? Goes to show how much I've sanitized my memory of the movies.
Jackson added them as reinforcements. I really didn't mind it that much, but what did bother me a little is that none of them lived. Their supposed to be elite fighters but not one of them made it.🤣

This was my major issue with the elves at Helm’s Deep. Also, they screamed when they died. Very un-elf-like behavior imo. These bastards are supposed to be elite fighters and stoic as fuck and they’re dying like screaming bitches left and right.
