That’s a pretty high bar

bobbytables ( @bobbytables@feddit.de ) English22•6 months agoSo I tried to find more info on it and it seems like they are not remaking the trilogy. Multiple movies set in various time periods before the Hobbit and LotR are currently written. That’s not really great but it is way better than a remake IMHO.
MajorMajormajormajor ( @MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca ) English14•6 months agoGondor has no remake. Gondor needs no remake.

Honytawk ( @Honytawk@lemmy.zip ) English10•5 months agoThe thing is that, even if these new ones are the most awful media ever produced. It doesn’t change anything about the old ones. They will still stay awesome. They don’t depreciate just because other media exist. Or that would have already happened with the Rings of Power.
I just wish they put this time and effort into other franchises. I want more Discworld.

Why can’t these companies come up with anything new? Or at least something new that’s good.
