Babe, stop bothering me, can’t you see that I’m busy daydreaming about putting pretty fictional men though hell?

Every single licensed piece of LOTR media after the original Peter Jackson trilogy has been absolute dogshit, and I am rather glad about that—it means that as the years go by, the odds of having to endure a remake are pretty low, and the original cultural place of the books will never quite be displaced. I think it also keeps the churn of Extruded Lord of the Rings Product down—unlike Star Wars, where everybody is hoping to make the next Andor or Rogue One, hopefully nobody has any illusions their LOTR project doesn’t fucking suck. And it’s only 20 years until LOTR enters the public domain, and people can do whatever they want with it.

Also helps that the bar is quite high—not only were the Jackson films pretty darn good, the books are genuinely terrific. Star Wars, Star Trek, Game of Thrones, and a lot of other stabs at the Next Big IP are fundamentally medium-to-bad in a way that establishes the bar for a “good” entry in the series pretty low. I like the original Star Trek a lot, for instance, but it’s not exactly one of the all time best written and produced TV shows! Whereas the LOTR books are well written enough there’s a noticeable disjunction in quality even just between bits of the movies that quote them or adapt them closely and bits Jackson made up—and that gulf becomes titanic in the hands of writers and directors who are even worse at Tolkien pastiche than 2000s Jackson (like, say, 2010s Jackson).

i’m sad about the acolyte being cancelled and i don’t think it was the right call but this is absolutely NOT an example of a show being under-marketed and set up to fail. a star wars show has not been as advertised as much as this was since obi-wan kenobi, honestly maybe even mando season 2.
