WOOOOOO! MEMOLOGY101 IN THE HOUSE!! Love ya brother!!❤😎
The goat!
I wonder if there were 100 previous Memologies before 101. I wonder if there's a 103.
Fantasy was NEVER geared toward their imaginary "modern audiences".
There ARE "modern audience friendly" fantasy IPs. The Elder Scrolls. Modern Friendly. 100 Thousand Kingdoms. Already gleefully woke and geared towards a female audience. The Parasol Protectorate. Gleefully woke and geared towards a female audience. They did The Last Air Bender but managed to screw it up - twice. Wheel of Time is also 'modern audience' friendly. They just screwed it up.
The problem isnt a lack of fantasy ips to appeal to a 'modern audience.' The problem is a lack of talented writers in Hollywood - yet an excess of unjustified arrogance. Hollywood writers suck and executives are too greedy and stupid to do anything about it.
Correct. Fantasy is about heroes and heroines... and making sacrifices for the good of others.
"The Modern Audience" is about *pretending* to do/be good, while actually *being* ... well, Sauron, or Palpatine, for example.
Jeah because you need imagination and the concept of suspension of disbelief to understand fantasy. And "the wider audience" doesn't have that. For them there are humans, little humans, green humans longear humans....and differences are racist. That they are LITERALY different species
the ultimate fantasy is Europeans not being ruled over by goblins and surrounded by orcs.
Honey, go read some Ursula Le Guin would ya!

Some funny comments I have found on other videos -
1. Anya Taylor Joy looks more elf than every elf in The Rings of Power.
2. The actress who played Galadriel once described her character as older than moon. Someone commented "older than moon, but still act like spoiled teenager".
3. Peter Jackson hired actual elves to play elves. Amazon hired orcs to play elves and writers of the show.
4. Amazon is orcwashing the elves.
I mean, basically ...
Let’s face it: the runaway success that was GoT could ironically NOT have happened if it was “adapted for a modern muppet show”. It was while they were true to the STORY they were winning.
House of the dragon is made for the modern audience, it's just fooled the whole lot of ye into thinking it's not Woke Shite
@@DeAngryDan Not everyone. Plenty of people think HotD is garbage and has more than a tinge of girl-bossery about it. I really don't get the hype on it - it varies from barely watchable to thoroughly dull.
@@DeAngryDanRaenyra might be the worst girlboss character I've ever seen. The show seem to think she can do no wrong even when she let her husband assassinate their nephew with no retribution at all.
I want to state for the record that The Muppet Show was awesome. Peak television.
@@arthurdent1097 “Pigs in Space” *was* better SF than “The Acolyte” for sure! 🤠
The corruption within these mega corporations is staggering. So much money down the drains just because no one wants to do the actual math...
At that point you know a corporation is too big and should be broken up.
The WEF globalists are funding Blackrock, Vanguard, and others. Blackrock etc... are funding DEI and ESG discounted loans. The Hollywood and gaming executives put the loans in their own pockets. The execs pockets are no longer dependent on their companies making a profit. They don't care about anything else. The end objective is to destroy Western morality and society, and replace it with Woke degeneracy.
that's antisemitic
They’re laundering 💰💵 while they can. They know what’s coming.
And the ips can be handled with care by indie creators
Just like the Roman Empire

It's deliberate destruction. Nobody starts making a Red Sonja with intent to repel the male gaze unless they want to destroy that character, and that's one example of many.

Thank goodness nobody took hold of Vampirella :)...now that is an eye candy character...it would be a shame to have those weirdoes start making up that modern spin on it ughh.
@@fantasywind3923 You are absolutely right, and that's the sort of thing I meant.
This is an example of just how pervasive Miss Andry has become...
If guys like it, *those* people want to take it away, or ruin it... so that you can't enjoy it anymore.
To be fair Red Sonja was aimed at young boys hitting puberty. If her only selling point was t & a, probably not a great character to base a movie or series on.
I wonder how many people realize that the success of Game of Thrones is the worst thing that could happen to fantasy. I liked the series (for a while), but with time it became more and more a bleak fantasy themed soap opera. Which is what they turned every property into in the last years.
Rings of power? check.
The witcher? check.
Wheel of time? check...
All of them want to be GoT, and no one seems to care that by the end of it, everybody hated that series.
Very true.
TBH the wheels of Time was pretty much a soap opera already
I mean you’re not wrong but this is just part of the larger problem where big corpos learn the wrong lesson from everything. It’s hard to say it’s GoT fault, really it’s the people who saw the success of GoT’s fault
@@thepikminbrawler1746 it is not their intended fault, but you cannot dismiss that because of their unintended actions they have had a huge impact on film culture. That is an undeniable fact. DND have done irreparable damage to the film, industry and fantasy as a whole.
People hated the ending of game of thrones , the first 4 seasons were peak
The DEI incentive can be explained as follows:
Amazon (or Disney or Apple etc...) can create shit programming because if they are in line with DEI policies their executives are provided with financial bonuses based upon their compliance scorecard (yes they actually have scorecards).
It's called Environment and Social Governance (ESG), an idea created by the Chinese government as a method of incentivizing propaganda through corporate population control. These incentives are given to overpaid business executives by corporations at the direction of the investors like BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard who own controlling shares in most of the corporations in the US, and also due to regulatory policies created by federal, state, and local governments.
These regulations allow corporations to shelter their profits from taxation in proportion to their ESG compliance (see score carding). Now most large corporations have ESG/DEI clauses in their contracts with suppliers that they push for, and favor, when awarding procurements (they call it "Flow Down"). This is nothing more than a top down press, incentivized by the government, to force propaganda down the throats of a mostly unwitting population.
Welcome to Neo-Communism folks.
Remember when Ralphie, using his decoder ring, was disgusted by the "Drink Ovaltine" commercial imbedded in his favorite program? It's like that except a significant percentage of the population is swilling that shit into a diabetic coma.
Ah Chinese government must be new lingo for 👃🏼
Judging by Disney and Amazon's number, their shows have lost a significant number of viewers.
On top of the taxes and incentives, the corporations will simply raise prices in other areas to cover losses.
great comment ❤
THANK YOU!! I’ve been decrying DEI bs for years when they started it up and it’s been so frustrating how average people who don’t understand how political things have always been don’t actually read these policies.
Years ago I would have loved to see DragonLance or Dark Sun get adapted. Now I hope they just leave it alone.
They would make Raistlin trans and Tanis black so yeah if they could just leave it alone
Same
Dark Sun would never get screen time for the same reason WOTC refuse to bring out a new edition for D&D. It's impossible for any setting now to deal with themes of slavery - even if the whole point of the setting was to denounce slavery and focus on protagonists fighting back against their oppressors. Instead it just triggers the same old uninformed and hysterical accusations from the usual suspects.
DL was going to happen but the show writers hated the “whiteness”, they wanted to diversify the whole cast. When it was pointed out the cast was diverse In so many ways but to them not in the most “important” ways. So the writers told them to basically fook right off then, stay true to the books or do something different.
Same with Hyperion/Fall of Hyperion. Better left alone.
if they want modernity ... they should stick to "Divergent / Convergent" series
hollywood already botched that series once, right?
I'll never get over what they did to wheel of time, they should be jailed
I remember one of my friends, his gf was a super fan and so excited for the show. They made that shit and it was a dagger to the heart.
Eh, never read them. However, messing with Tolkien is BLASPHEMY!
Agreed. Amazon did to Jordan what it did to Tolkien.
Sad thing is, the Trollocs WERE well done, I had hopes. But the cast is too weak, everyone just looked too weak, plus the romance lost its innocence.
@Mitch_Kelly Episode 1 season 1 was different but had potential.
Then they killed wheel of time I watched season 1 but i highly highly regret it.
“Cautiously navigate a minefield…?” They jumped into it head first, screw them, they did it to themselves.
I wish disney, or some studio, would hire all of these guys to create an original, incredibly well thought out piece of cinema
Black Rock, Vanguard and State Street would never allow anything made under Disney or any other company they have their paws in (all of them) that doesn't follow the Panderverse.
Let's not forget black rock tried to assassinate a presidential candidate.
Good luck with that!
I think that the studios have run out of ideas which is why you only get book adaptations and reboots
@@xtoll123 That's not actually why they do that, Hollywood will only follow a specific formula when it comes to investing millions into creating movies/shows.
That's why Ryan Reynolds had to invest his own money to get Deadpool 1 made.
Now firms like Black Rock and Vanguard are major shareholders in corporations making movies/shows and with that comes the expectation studios adhere to the Dee Eee Eye agenda those firms are interested in.
Im so glad i never even attempted to watch the Wheel of Time series.
Not a book reader and was really disappointed by it. So. Without any knowledge of how that series goes, the show alone had no legs.
You've absolutely made the right decision NOT to watch the WoT show... even if you didn't read the books.
Just for one example, characters died in the last episode of Season 1... and are then up and walking around with no explanation in the very next episode.
I did because I own the series, even bought hardbacks of the last five as I Wanted them right then. I was looking forward to it, the casting left a bad taste, but I watched it.
What the F 🫣
@@James_Bee Try reading the first book, you might like it.
The show is... well... it's like if the books got twisted by the 'one ring to rule them all', like Gollum.
It's not likely to be a coincidence that the show bears as much resemblance to the books, as GUYladriel does to GALadriel.
Same studio... same agenda.
@@calvinjohnstone2664 Yeah, the casting was a major clue... but I held out hope, right up until the last episode of season 1.
This stuff has honestly made me more religious. The devil can't create, he can only corrupt. And everything from my childhood had been ruined. Its the devil at work. I'm telling you
At least he didn’t create billions of people just to watch them burn for eternity.
@@fisherj5087 im going to heaven. So not worried. 🤣
For in the Woke was the power to atone for every sin and redress every grievance. But all of them were deceived ….
If Amazon asked people...to donate 1 dollar...to make them stop making and broadcasting Rings of Power...people would do it and pay.
It would reduce Amazone's losses a little bit. Not enough, but people would pay to end this sh*t show.
Why do we want it to end? It is meme city
i wouldn't pay because that would be like extortion, its like hey pay us so we stop ruining your beloved franchise, i never bow down to bullies on high school and i won't do that now either
@@Craig-e9mOut of respect for Tolkien's work. I know zoomers don't know what this word mean but feel free to look it up.
Let it 🔥
@Craig-e9m yeah. Let them burn that money.
*LOTR IS POLITICALLY CORRECT*
Example: *ELF* - Old English, and of Germanic origin. Found throughout the Germanic languages and originally means 'white being.'
Altering The Lord of the Rings to appease modern-day political correctness is not only unnecessary but also an insult to the historical and cultural foundations upon which it was built. The story is meant to represent European culture and history, dating back from the fifth to the 15th centuries. As a philologist and etymologist, Tolkien carefully crafted his works to reflect the true meaning of words and ideas based on their historical origins. Therefore, altering or adapting his stories to fit modern-day inclusion contradicts the very essence of his works.
It's not "modern day inclusion", it's modern day anti-white, anti-European racist ideology whose purpose is to remove white people or native Europeans from long term on-screen representation in their own cultural properties and history, together with the political ideology of open border policies and mass immigration from third world countries implemented only in European and Western countries with predictable disastrous results that we all see today. It's goes far deeper than "modern day inclusion" because it was never about inclusion, it was always about "white guilt" and self hatred.
And, and, with all their complaining about there not being enough skin shades in the show, go out of their way to not show us the Haradrim or the Easterlings, who Tolkien did say a rebellion had begun to fight Sauron's influence. But instead, we get ... this ...
me thinks we have found the racists ...
@@RoseBagginsIt feels deliberate, doesn’t it?
Jealousy has gripped their kind tightly for so long that they’ve resorted to covet the history and culture of Anglo-Saxons, and it’s expressed in this behavior of social manipulation, or lack of a better word “woke”.
White Replacement is pure evil, and will always be morally wrong.
The elves were an ancient race who's songs were prayers to the creator-god of the world. They had their own language, laws and customs, which set them apart from their neighbors. They needed to leave middle earth (Europe) and return to their homeland in order to survive. (They were not better than the men of middle earth. They were just different.)
So much resources, so much technology, so many source material, and so much stupid talentless creeps working on it...
When other people, two, who haven’t read the WoT books, tell me about WoT show and I tell them everything that went wrong there. They are usually shocked.
That was one of the things I was looking forward to the most as a way of easing my girlfriend into the books and when I saw what an Abomination they made of it I never even mentioned watching it to her. Thankfully I never engaged with it and Shad took that bullet for me because I wasn't quite sold on it so I watched his review first.
All of that money could’ve went to cancer research.
Teachnicaly they made a cancer in a way
None of those in power want anything done about cancer or diabetes or whatever disease that brings lots of cash to those who sell treatment
hahahahahahahahaha

"executives cautiously navigate a minefield."
Know whats better than navigating a minefield? Not walking into one. This is whats called the "sit down and STFU" strategy. Writers know what they're doing, they do not need executive input. Actors and actresses know what they're doing, they do not need executive input. Set designers know what they are doing, they do not need executive input. Executives have no goddamned clue what they are doing, and need to stop giving people input.
Sit down. STFU. Go back to your office and stare wistfully at your Quickbooks summary and motivational posters. If you want to do good by anyone and improve the production, fire any five marketing drones.
Was anyone else really gutted when Carnivale got cancelled back in the 2000's? I'm still not over that lol.
No, I got it recommended, but it found it slow and boring. Not bad, but somehow I didn't get into it.
The wheel of time flopped from the first scene. The woman’s council girl bossing with some weird manly ritual jumping off a cliff. This happening in Emond’s field which had such a large concentration of the old blood due to no one coming in or leaving for generations (besides Rand) and they immediately make it an ethnic melting pot for no real reason. This is made even worse since the wheel of time world is full of people besides white ones but they can’t wait until they are actually encountered in the world they have to shoehorn them into the very first scene and then also change who the protagonist is. It can’t be a man.
A multicultural village was just stupid nonsense and would have taken me out immediately. I skipped the series that was just devaluing the source material.
Yip, especially when the prophecy in the book leaves things in suspense over who it can possibly be. Each having a strong narrative pull that weaves them in and out of stories, Then this show comes along and just upchucks on it all.
I agree with everything you are saying and would like to add...WHY make Perrin married then have him kill his wife??? I know Perrin is broody throughout the book, but not because he killed his wife. I always say, the show runners seemed to have taken the names of the characters from the books and then chucked the books into the garbage. And come on...not one tug on her pony tail from Nynaeve??
@@Homelander-js9hd the usual way of things. Every time it runs something like this. Let’s take an IP that’s got a successful world building and long running narrative pacing and easy to interpret plot devices, a very dedicated and caring fan base. Declare it all to be problematic and out of touch with modernity (the whole point of watching/reading escapism in media) , think that “we” can write something better by committee by people who despise the IP or have never explored the IP. Throw out a 100+ existing plot hooks to free up room for nonsense that screws up future story elements.
Yup. That was stupid. A tiny isolated village where few people come or leave for a thousand years is inevitably going to be mono-ethnic. Even if it started as a "melting pot." If the damn village looks like a cosmopolitan city from an ethnicity standpoint it lessons the impact of Rand reaching an actual Cosmopolitan city like Caemlyn for the first time. Its just an incredibly short sighted and stupid change for the sake of meeting diversity qoutas.
I'm tired of acting like we're not supposed to talk about the compressed timeline for Rings of Power. It's the dead elephant in the room. All other aspects are moot by comparison. At that point, who cares what "else" they get wrong? Because there's no possible way to ever get anything right. Have the very best actors. Have the very best writers. You'll still only ever be making anachronistic fan fiction. It's Napoleon, Julius Caesar, Churchill, and JFK playing poker. And that's all it will ever be.
That poker would be epic though
Got the house to myself for once, blissful Saturday morning, my awesone wife had taken my son out and instead of being able to enjoy a great fantasy program which wheel of time couldve been or rings of power should have been, instead ive chosen to read the hobbit. So thanks Amazon, you're forcing me to be more literate!
As fans we want to be able to immerse ourselves in a well realised world, like Peter Jackson's films and i do include the hobbit trilogy here because in comparison to RoP they are transportational.
Even Game of Thrones failed in the end. We have the tech to create just about anything but the talent to write has regressed to toddler crayon art.
GoT was a great series at the start, when they were following and respecting the storyline from the books. GoT went down the pan, when the writing team and showrunners ran out of actual story to tell (becasue JRRM hadn't got around to finishing the next book) and started making shit up. This naturally meant they started relying on what they know (because they had someone TELLING them what to know when they used the books) and they know nothing but "Hollywierd bubble". So things started not making sense and contradicting what went before and rushing storylines, until the 'big bad' who was built up over 7 seasons as being something everyone should be terrified of, was dispatched by a little girl with a knife.
@@jcorbett9620 I have a sneaking suspicion that the GoT tv ending is what GRRM had in mind. Now that it failed miserably he's never going to finish the series.
@@user-gm4kv2my4u Well he certainly seems in no rush!
@@jcorbett9620 Exactly.
@@user-gm4kv2my4u As a former writer my personal opinion is he had no idea how to end the series after the writers messed everything up on the show. He was (if I understand correctly) only actively involved in the 1st half of the season. And again If I understand correctly, George chose to leave after that to finish the books, which he never did.
Nothing made much logical sense in the 2nd half of the season...and then we had season 8, the show killer.
The first thing we were taught in writing is to never ever surrender the rights of your IP to Hollywood.
But money changes many things.
Star Trek Enterprise was canceled. I had loved to watch the NX-01 for another 4-5 seasons back in the day! With the Romulan war, the founding of the Federation and so on.

I cancelled my free trial of Prime because of Rings of Power.
Rings of Power is number one streaming on Amazon only because they auto play it after anything you have been watching - no matter that you have down ticked it, hidden it countless times and never ever watched an episode. They are force feeding it onto screens and I bet those few seconds until the remote is pressed to remote it are counted in the streaming figures.
Imagine a world where Firefly was canceled an we have rings of power with 5 season... Oh no!
OHHHHHHHHHHH
NOOOOOOOOOOO
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is funny you said that. I read, "The Hobbit" when I was in high school and I was answering questions people had about, "Lord of the Rings".
George RR Martin knows that he's included ' modern audience ' nonsense in his latest ( non existent book ), and he's scared to his very core of the backlash .
450 million for the Rights, which were only appendices. Which is insane.
All because Amazon wanted to do a GoT.
They don't even advertise this show in NZ, none of the ads for Amazon Prime in New Zealand mention this show at all. It was a massive slap in the face to our country with how bad this shit is.
Bezos’s ego and lack of sanity knows no bounds.
We have all the advancements to make the greatest fantasy films/shows. But sadly, we have dumb people who act like we're going through the great oppression. In reality, they're the ones causing it and holding creators back.
@@marywinchester1322 it’s an age old problem, if your paid to fight “oppression” and you can’t find it, you have to create it to then fight it…
Same thing when people were paid to kill rats to stop the spread of diseases, people were paid by the tail, few people wanted to go into the nasty places to deal with the actual problems so they started to breed them to sell. Caused a massive outbreak as when the money ran out the rats were released..
The built-in fan bases also act as security. They'll be guaranteed that base, at the least, if they remain true to the material that they love.
Guarantees them at least a certain number of viewers for the first episode, and that's about it. Perhaps not even that, these days. Many will just wait for Nerdrotic, Critical Drinker, etc. to watch the first episode and see if its even worth tuning in. That's how far modern productions have sunk... many people won't even dip their toe in for 30 minutes to see for themselves.
They actively loathe the built-in fanbase because they think the built-in fan base is only straight white men. There have been interviews and press conferences in which show runners and writers have stated this. Disparu has an excellent video on this regarding the Witcher from IIRC November 2022.
She-hulk show runner stated her motivation for making the show and the deliberate intention of the show is to upset the male fans.
As for staying true to the source material, the guy who used to be in charge of hiring writers for Marvel movies and shows said he only hires people who don’t know anything about superheroes. That way they can use character names but be completely open to imagining them doing absolutely anything. This tends to be very different from or even the exact opposite of what the actual character is like.
Apparently, Marvel has recently changed this policy and has quietly phased out the activist writers.
No! Disney was wrong. Wrong to greenlight the Season 1, wrong to give $180M+ to Harvey's personal accomplice, wrong to trample on the lore, wrong to attack the fans. By cancelling Season Two, at best Disney refrained from making their mistake even worse. Saying Disney is right is like praising the Titanic for not hitting two or three other icebergs.
Prime Video cost them my Prime Shipping Service membership.
And mine
I wonder if the orcs eat the cats?
Washed my hands of Amazon completely.
they wouldn't have to navigate a minefield if they wouldn't have thrown mines all over the place. i'm perfectly happy laughing while they self-own

Just remember a decade or so back: MTV announced the creation and making of the "Shannara Chronicles", based on Terry Brooks' best selling Shannara series ... and boy oh boy oh boy what a cheap emo balenciaga shitshow this was with horrible actors, horrible acting, horrible set designs, horrible everything, and above all horrible STORY CHANGES.
The worst? Terry Brooks actually endorsed this BS and announced he was so proud of the work done by MTV. Result: Since 1977 he had published 34 books in the Shannara series .... since the end of the TV shitshow ... 2 ... which didn't sell. So he wrote other stories ... that didn't sell too good either.
Huge fan of the books never watched the show
Didn't know it was that bad. Glad I avoided it
Weird, weird, but I like Brooks, I've read his "Running with the Demon" trilogy and 5 books of his "Magic Kingdom: For Sale" series. I read the premier book (Sword of Shannara?) years ago but could never get into the series. I wasn't aware of the series; I'm glad I missed it, I guess.
Rings of power not only brings no one to prime, I cancelled my prime membership. I looked the other way with wheel of time, but rings of power was the final straw.
They never ran out of material for Thrones, they abandoned a book & a halfs worth of story in season 5, most of Feast & Dance were slashed, they just cherry picked the key moments (Walk of Shame, Arya in Braavos, Dany riding Drogon for the first time & Jon getting stabbed), even those were half arsed adaptations. It's like taking a 1000 piece puzzle, removing half the pieces, getting Son of Tardo to fill in the gaps with crayon then going "why doesn't it look like the picture on the box?"
The rest of season 5 & 6 are badly written fanfic (Jaime and Bronn in Dorne for example, total fanfic & 40 minutes wasted on a trash subplot they wrote on the fly & only had 9 days to shoot, or everything involving Ollie a shitty show-only that took Dolorus Ed's spotlight, killing Mance, Stannis & Barristan early, the dogshit Sandor/Brienne fight, shoe-horning Sansa into Jayne Pooles story with Ramsay. No Lady Stoneheart, Golden Company/Young Griff, Grand Northern Conspiracy, most of the magic, visions & prophecy removed etc....... I forgot how much I fucking hate season 5 😂).
I don't know why people keep pushing this narrative that they ran out of books, it's an access media shill narrative that got circulated in season 7 to take heat off Benioff & Weiss (George is still an arsehole that needs to finish the god damn books 🤬🤬)
Well, when you removed half the books from the script... yeah, they did run out of books.
The problem is they thought they needed to stream line the story so they could fit it into the however many seasons HBO was willing to take things but ended up surpassing the books stopping off point because they cut too much stuff.
Magic was a budget issue more than anything. Hell, the dragons are talked about in behind the scenes stuff as being ridiculously expensive to have in the show.
At the end of the day, producers are thinking long term and how long are audiences really going to stick with a show and how long can they keep throwing tons of money at episodes AND make it all back.
High fantasy ain't cheap to make.
@@James_Bee "High fantasy ain't cheap to make." - True, but the time you can spend the money is when you have a runaway raging hit show on your hands. If anybody had money to throw around, its the producers of GoT from season 3 or 4 onwards.
@@James_Bee HBO wanted at least 10 seasons, it was the most watched show in the world for 5 years & HBO woulda churned out as many seasons as they could, that's why they're spending £200million a season on House of The Dragon & Knight of The Seven Kingdoms spin offs.
George told them from the start "I want a faithful adaptation of my work & for that you need 10 years" to which they said "that's what we intend to do". Then they blew the pilot, had to scrap everything & start season 1 over which set the whole show back a year & cost us Tamsin Merchant as Daenerys (Clarke is servicable but mid).
The only reason they got a second shot is because Richard Plepler at HBO said they had enough international licensing for season 1 to break even. People don't realize how close the show was to dying before it was even released, guess they weren't there.
It's on Benoiff & Weiss, mostly Benioff because after they signed the deal he admitted to HBO & George that he "bluffed" (lied) and he had no clue how to run a tv show, early seasons were a logistical nightmare for cast & crew because of that.
In 2015, when season 5 was in post production they were negotiating their last contract & refused to do more than 7 seasons citing burn out, they later agreed to 8 seasons only if the last 2 were shorter. The whole "It was the Star Wars deal" excuse is bullshit too because that wasn't even on the table til 2017.
I swear, the more I hear Gary, Drinker & Mauler talk Ice & Fire the more I'm convinced they don't know shit about fuck on the topic.
Old boy Kinel is the only one that seems to know his shit on the book side, the others make massive, basic bitch mistakes every time the topic gets discussed
Thank. You!
@@ViolentMessiah666Tanis Merchant as Daenerys? Yeah, no.
I got rid of my Prime. The products have gone from quality merchandise to Chinese knock-offs and garbage. The cheap crap doesn't cost less and the good stuff often costs more than in Brick-and-Mortar stores.
Robert hit the nail on the head. I'm tired of Hollywood destroying beloved IPs
They're going to kill any desire for Fantasy shows, much like the Westerns that vanished.
I worry quite a bit about this happening.... just as people are turning away from shows that even appear like they might be woke.
I propose a new admendment in the bill of rights: freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, freedom of religion, freedom from woke CEOs.
Wheel of Time...... its a hit, im my guts, every time this show get mentioned. It could be HUGE! A Great Serie! This would be a DECADE long serie. And now we got this SHIT. If we are lucky we maybe get a real serie in 20-30 years.....😭
I've been spending time watching some of the better shows from years back to take up my time, rather than watching any of the crappier, under-achieving shows made lately. Deadwood, Gotham, Boardwalk Empire, The Sopranos, ... all were well made shows that I'd missed the first time around. Doing that has kept me from having to rely on just RUclips puppies and kittens to get though the day. But I refuse to watch ROP, Star Wars, Doctor Who, et cetera, and wouldn't watch it if it were the only thing on TV.
Maybe they can do a "Rings of Power" & "House of the Dragon" crossover, & they can both disappear in a puff of smoke up their own arses.
Dude, I'm someone that doesn't pay for Prime- they signed me up back in June and I had to delete my card from the site.
Destroyed so many great stories and books.
Still easy to ignore. They haven't destroyed the original stories. Not yet at least.
🔥🔥🔥At this point, I watch NOTHING (no TV series or movie series) until it’s complete and hasn’t gone woke or taken a dump in the process. No disappointment that way. 😬
Hollywood always thinks they know better than the original creators. Carpetbaggers have ruined every franchise they’ve touched.
House of the Dragon is better than Rings of power but i don't think it's that great. It's nowhere near the level of GoT season 1 - 4. George R R Martin has a huge hard on for Targaryens.
Weird how I log onto amazon tv and rings of power comes up as number 1 in my country. Who are they polling to get that result?
it's made up
Do they have anything that is popular?
Themselves.
I had Prime for the free 1 and 2 day shipping, and I had it for years before it dawned on me that it also gave me the streaming service.
But i did cancel my prime when season 1 of rings of power and season 1 of Wheel of Time came out. I still get free shipping, sometimes in as little as 2 days, but usually 3-5 days. So I wait an extra 3 or 4 days for delivery, who cares!
I have very seriously considered cancelling Prime due to what they did to Wheel of Time.
And therein lies the problem. You are not getting free shipping. You are paying for Prime, ergo, paying for shipping..
Chrissie Mayr stole presents from an office Christmas party. Look it up. Redbar radio covered it.
I think it is intentional, they are destroying big companies until there is only one big company left
Star Trek is bizarre, now.
Stargate Atlantis got cancelled because it didn’t ‘fit in’ with the ‘in’ dystopian aesthetic pioneered by B5 & BSG, and that business decision was catastrophic…
…one word: escapism.
I don’t want to be reminded by a show - in a vainglorious unartistic fashion - that I’m living in a dystopian world presided over by vainglorious ‘artists’ who don’t have a clue what art is, let alone the art of storytelling aka taking your audience on a journey somewhere else other than reality.
BSG was a thought provoking work of excellence, and as such can be watched & delved into; fantasy fiction like Fire & Ice is otherworldly in & of itself.
Neither BSG nor B5 were in any way dystopian. They were darker than Star Trek or Stargate. Was Star Gate Atlantis really cancelled because it was too bright? I kinda liked where Atlantis landed in the ending lol
@@napoleonfeanorSGA was cancelled because it wasn’t what BSG was: dystopian
A genocidal apocalypse = dystopian
The point of BSG was history repeating itself, and giving us the main reasons why ie human nature + technology
The world as we know it - reality - is moving towards a dystopian future where it’s either enslavement or ‘nuclear Armageddon’.
its almost like since that first writers strike they can only write soap opera level plots. every show has this 'all my children' feel to it nowadays
One day, ai will be advanced enough that we, the fans, can just make our own Tv shows and movies. Cgi, ai deepfakes, ai voices. It’s gonna happen one day. Then we’ll finally see a proper sillmarilion adaptation. We’ll see Han, Luke and Leia have the swan song they deserved. We’ll get everything the way we always wanted. One day.
I was so disappointed when American Gods got cancelled due to low watch rates, but somehow Rings of Power stays.
Unrelated, but it's very surprising to hear the Duke Nukem 3D theme on a nerdrotic outro video.
Asians are winning because they believe in the validity of adult animation that isnt comedy.
Imagine if there was a memo within Amazon, stating that ALL STAFF must watch RoP, maybe even just the first 10 minutes of each episode. Now, if someone were to look at staffing numbers and remove that figure from the viewing figures already released…. I wonder how low that number would fall?
Nobody in charge over there seems to really care that they lost so much money.
They just doubled down on a broken formula with a main character who can´t act.
'Almost Human' and 'Extant' were two shows i really liked that were cancelled far too soon :-(
We're lucky to be able to laugh at 3 more seasons of this. By contract, Amazon cannot cancel it. They MUST deliver the complete series. 😛
Hail Pierry, and your awesome One Piece Eye-catchs. Hahaha.
They always make me like the videos :D
I watched a video recently that suggested ROP is meant as an glitzy ad to get Prime into new international markets
Thank you for ending with the Duke Nuke’m theme, I needed that.
The one Amazon show I was actually into Outer Range was canceled after 2 seasons with the no answers. So pissed off. There's honestly nothing else interesting on Amazon. I'm only keeping my Prime membership for buying stuff, not for Amazon's shows or movies. I haven't watched anything on Prime since the season 2 finale of Outer Range.
I don't want to like anything, I want them to want me to like it. They don't. I'm not interested in programming, I'm interested in unique, creative works
i got rid of my prime
I still can’t understand how the Japanese made the latest Godzilla movie for $15 million, and Amazon’s budget goes past a billion.
Robert is sorely mistaken, we don’t want ROP to do well. They sullied Tolkien’s work throughout the first season and continue to do so in season 2.
I think he meant he wanted it to do well - as in what it could have been - not that he wants it to succeed now. In a world without modern writing for the modern audience, with competent storytellers that ashere to the lore and minor interveneces from studio suits, ROP could have been a phenomenal story. Would it have been perfect? No, and fans would find something to nitpick, but it would have been so much better than what is reality now.
Letting these people who don't actually care about the IPs is like, forcing Gary to watch his collection from a glass cage while a bunch of children play with all his toys in the room.
If rings of power is a LOSS leader, they sure got the LOSS part right.
I never had any prejudices or negative thoughts about any of these "woke" groups. But now....
Jeremy Clarkson is peak TV though, nobody can stop him 🔥
Nerdrotic always picks the best music to end an episode with. It was fun to hear Duke Nukem: Total Meltdown rockin' it at the end lol
Stuff don’t get canceled:
Netflix: hold my beer🍺
Casting Jack Black as Al Pharaohson was genius.
The wheel of time garbage makes the LEAST sense. It is SUCH a female power series it should have been made straight out of the books and it would have been PERFECT, nope nope nope lets take a giant shit right on the story...
It absolutely made me laugh when they removed some of the most badass women and story cities that revolved around them from the show, then complained they had to “change” the stories to empower women more…
@@Docktavion RIGHT!!!!! This is like HUGE female power story and they had to remove that to have Nynaeve fight a trolloc with a knife... I mean for fucks SAKE this is crapping RIGHT ON the source material, there is a scene in the book where she wants a sword and gets humbled for it by Siuan Sanche! I mean this is like HERE is your power, huge power, world breaking power... No lets give her a knife! Get OUT of here...
I was that book fan in 2011 telling everyone to watch got. Remember back then when the show was on shaky ground? We all saved it!
The funny thing to me is that fantasy has always been for everybody regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.
Fantasy stories exist in made up worlds with made up races and creatures. Fantasy tells stories that anybody can relate to about heroes triumphing over evil, or people of different races banding together and becoming friends. There are great messages through all fantasy works that are relatable to everybody.
You don’t have to have a character that looks exactly like you because it’s about more than that. News flash…my wife isn’t male and doesn’t look like Frodo or Sam, but she still tears up and related to their story of friendship and brotherly love for one another.
It’s never been about relating to characters by only seeing your most shallow qualities in them…it’s about the deeper things within a character or a story that pulls you in and that is why modern fantasy fails. They don’t follow the source material because they want to be “inclusive”, but in turn they exclude more people by just making it about the least important things the make us human.
I dont understand why House of Dragon dosent more sh*t for the moderen DEI in all the places and the girlbossing
"because it was good"
Yeah, even this channels hosts hand wave HotD because it was well acted and written.
I was surprised when Shad praised the first episode that my wife and I couldn't even finish.
it's a cringe fest. they ignore cuz "muh cgi dragons".
Totally sick of fans being treated like garbage.
I bet I can hold my breath until these people start proclaiming that the Fantasy genre just isn't popular enough anymore to fund these projects.
You are right Nerdrotic, i was so angry with what they did to Tolkien legacy, i cancelled my prime renewal.
