People are grumpy because Amazon gutted LotR universe, made it an empty vessel for their political ideology and now refuse to deal with well-earned criticism in an honest fashion.
We had almost 2 and a half hours of content and it doesn’t seem we’re even done with the introduction to the gang that would become fellowship of the rings ;)
Maybe you should read some negative reviews on IMDB to find out? Oh, sorry, I forgot. They all got deleted. Hence lies the problem.
I also don’t particularly see any wokeness being peddled.
The problem isn’t wokeness it’s lazy and bad writing e.g. SheHulk which is just cringe as fuck.
I swear if the original trilogy would’ve come out today people would claim that the “I am no man” line was peddling wokeness despite the fact that it’s exactly how it played out in the book with the only change being the omission of living before man.
