While posting and commenting in this community, you must abide by the Lemmy.World Terms of Service: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

  1. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, or advocating violence will be removed.

  2. Be civil: disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally insult others.

  3. Spam, self promotion, trolling, and bots are not allowed

  4. Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem.

    Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.

    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your post/comment being removed and/or more severe actions. All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Warner Bros. said Thursday that it will release more films in its The Lord of the Rings franchise, the first of which is still in script development but is planned to be released in 2026.

In exhibit number one, we have a dogshit billion-dollar fanfiction titled Rings of Power.

In exhibit two, a game that nobody wanted, around events that didn't happen, with characters nobody cares about, that shouldn't have been made: Gollum.

Sure, but results in the past give no guarantees about how successful a future endeavour can be.

I'm not trying to take a side here, but just reserving judgement.

I'm not talking about success but quality and respect for the source material. Rings of Power could've raked in all the money in the world and made every self-titled critic that wasn't even alive in 2003 cream their jorts, and it would still be a fucking travesty.

In case it's not obvious, I have a deep loathing for current year WB.
