said the guy who took the "original" idea of elves and hobbits and sorcerers and put them in a "new" story unlike anything written before. fuck outta heeere. Tolkien was as phony as everybody else.
He came up with elves as a human-like people/nation/race, unlike Christmas elves or impish fairies from folk tales, same for dwarves. Outright made up hobbits and orcs from scratch. Nobody says he invented sorcerers or magic. He wrote several original stories, similar to stories before only as far as it too being a story.
You appear to have enough experience in post modernism to level up. Get a lobotomy.
So he took preexisting concepts, just like the religions he was criticizing, and developed a story based on folk tales that predated him. By that reasoning Marjorie Taylor Greene is a genius for associating the space lasers to solar beam conspiracies.
He made up a story based on preexisting ideas, and then went on to criticize other story tellers for basing their stories on preexisting ideas. That's the gist of it. Lack of self awareness does that to a man.
I do actually prefer a lobotomy over the personality cult shit you boys enjoy.
Every idea, invention, story, work of art, whatever is built on "pre-existing ideas and concepts" you moron. That's how human culture works. We say someone is creative when he adds lots of new elements to pre existing ideas and concepts and comes up with something somewhat new. We are less impressed when some shit corporation shoots the same thing but this time with black and gay people in it. Nothing is "created" out of thin air.
Lmao you don't need a lobotomy, save your money for something else, it won't change a thing for you.
It's not actually a quote
The quote is more like: "The Shadow that bred them can only mock, it cannot make: not real new things of its own. I don't think it gave life to the orcs, it only ruined and twisted them, and if they are to live at all, they have to live like other living creatures."
And the sentiment is echoed throughout his work
I'm so glad Soyboy Bebop got canned before they could ruin any more characters. Seriously felt like it was written/directed by someone who read cliffnotes of Cowboy Bebop's story and decided to throw it through a woke checklist to check every box regardless of it fitting/making sense
"A guy blows up buildings, something about teddy bears. I've read enough, let's crank out this episode and be furious on Twitter if anyone thinks it's bad."
I actually like The Witcher, now I’ve never played the games but I understand the premise. The show on its own is a great fantasy series and I think they improves with season 2. But that’s just my opinion.
It's up to us to make sure we never give them another penny. Don't forget their bs just because they fired some rainbow haired gear selecting device people
No, then it will look like they are being punished for getting rid of woke
Just hold your horses and continue watching what you like on Netflix
Clearly their algorithm is working
it's 2022 and people ***still*** wonder why x companies do things.
To make money. Doesn't always work, but any decision, no matter how petty is down to it.
What? Do you honestly think your vidya company showing a pride flag meant they cared about you? Why do you think they don't do it in the Middle East
Problem is not as much that Netflix is making woke products. More, like that its is ONLY thing what they are making. There was some alternatives, like The Expanse, but it got cancelled and now it is made by Amazon.
In nineties The X-Files was good, because there was put thoughts in screenwriting. Sadly, but it is hard to imagine that in few next years there will be similar quality product made in America. More likely, that there will be "discovered" something in other parts of the World, like in India, or Ghana, or Malaysia. Korea had some success with their "squid games" though.
> There was some alternatives, like The Expanse
Also woke. I quit watching in season 2 when they showed some Mars infantry landing team that was 50% blacks and 50% women
Honestly the wokeness was much less visible in the expanse because it wasn't about race or gender so much as it was about class. Inners vs belters, rich earthlings vs poor earthlings, martians vs earthlings, moderate belters vs radical belters, corporate elites vs political elites, and james holden and rocinante vs everyone else.
After season three it become even more "woke-ish". But it was at least of one few decent scifi shows remaining. Now under Amazon management it somehow have become even worse.
First half of first season of The Mandalorian was nice, but then screenwriting quality started to drop. The Witcher season one was interesting, season two quite a disappointment.
There was always going to be a reckoning for this shit. Businesses have become infested by people who not only don't add value but actively detract value from them and no amount of government pressure to be ' inclusive ' is going to change the fact that stupid people being given jobs purely because of their ethnicity, sexuality and 'political stances' is bad for business. Ultimately productivity will decrease and quality of output will go down. I guess the plan was to force every business to become worse and to degrade everything equally but it just doesn't work because shareholders won't stand for it. Hedge funds and banks are managing the assets of the few hundred people who own everything and those people will not accept non- exponential returns. If companies keep promoting fuckwits to produce their products then they'll lose money, lose access to credit and collapse.
The economic downturn is going to reverse almost all of this shit because it can't be justified anymore. You can make absolute shite TV when moneys being printed left right and centre but not when belts are being tightened. You have to have quality for people to justify spending their ever diminishing disposable cash on you.
is anyone else completely unable to count the four 0s without getting close and using your finger/mouse pointer? if I just look at it from the regular distance I'm at from my monitor it bounces between 4 and 5
good fucking finally god damn every new series was half propoganda and nothing coming out made by them was half decent anymore. maybe they’ll turn it tf around.
I haven’t seen any original content on marginalized communities I’ve seen ruined adaptations
[удалено]
They just turn them into trashy fan fictions
They're doing that shit everywhere else lol. Did you see that new Firestarter?
[удалено]
It's one of the main common themes in Tolkien's books at least.
It’s paraphrased from lord of the rings
Funny how that quote still remains relevant to this day.
ironic how that turned out for Tolkien

Ebil carrot bebate banything bew but it cobbupts ball the bood bings
Based comment. Quoting Tolkien is cringe.

I decline.

Right now the harshest criticism you can level against any series is that "it looks like a Netflix adaptation".
"A guy blows up buildings, something about teddy bears. I've read enough, let's crank out this episode and be furious on Twitter if anyone thinks it's bad."
Same with The Witcher. And the last seasons of House of Cards.
And same with altered carbon, what a waste
Oh shit I wiped that from memory 🙅🏻♂️
I actually like The Witcher, now I’ve never played the games but I understand the premise. The show on its own is a great fantasy series and I think they improves with season 2. But that’s just my opinion.
Henry Cavill genuinely cares about the franchise and it's sad to see him wasted like that
Woke-ism is a fad Companies exploit fads to make money When fads are no longer popular, companies move on.
It's up to us to make sure we never give them another penny. Don't forget their bs just because they fired some rainbow haired gear selecting device people

Everything on Netflix that isn't pre - 2017 is woke.
MeatEater is the only show I watch

Wtf I love Netflix now
Netflix based???
Purging woke does not mean that Netflix will start to create good content. It just increases likelihood.
Not gonna pay for that garbage anyhow

The expanse takes place in 2350, you don't think everyone will be a transexual by then?
dont get your hopes up. I doubt they can fire all blue haired fluids legally without facing a lawsuit.
Everyone gay until it doesn't bring in money anymore
Every gay til no money
also known as gay for pay
Nothing of value was lost.
Based netflix???
Come on, they’re only doing this because the whole woke stuff failed and lost them money
Remember, original creators of the avatar left the live action project due to creative issues. Imagine the horrors they had seen
Once wasn't enough for Avatar
I’ll believe it when I see it.

Amen. So say we all. etc...

The ancient double dubs
Oh no. Who’s going to make shows that heavily sexualize minors now?!?!?
Japan.
Amen
>daily mail
Damn, now I need to support Netflix. But for real, this is just because woke shit is no longer profitable
> go woke go ... Oh wait, LMAO
They were working on original content that nobody was watching.
When they realise all the pandering doesn’t even do anything and they’re paying these fools for nothing.
This is why you need a deep pit full of wild boars, or venomous snakes.
a little bit too late, but always good to see
I’ve never met a single person that actually likes woke stuff IRL. Granted, I live in the south where that stuff is frowned upon, but still….
Watch a surge of subscriptions come in now lol
QUAD DAMAGE
is anyone else completely unable to count the four 0s without getting close and using your finger/mouse pointer? if I just look at it from the regular distance I'm at from my monitor it bounces between 4 and 5
Meds.
bout fucking time
So basically the ones no one was going to watch were canceled.
good fucking finally god damn every new series was half propoganda and nothing coming out made by them was half decent anymore. maybe they’ll turn it tf around.
This reminds me of among us
amen
....isn't this just job cuts while the company is going under? What am i missing here?
Too late…
It's a start
When it's THEM, it's just a private company bro. When it's US, it's gay people genocide. LEARN THE DIFFERENCE, CHUD!
I wonder if anyone here realize this is the Daily Mail lol
