I am scanning the titles of your posts and I could spend all day here. Enjoyed this post, yet retain my skepticism about new movies. But I'll watch them anyway, no doubt...
The much-maligned Faramir as guerilla leader and Jack Black as Tom Bombadil would definitely be watchable. But if they don't do the Scouring of the Shire as priority no. 1 (even just with Wormtongue) you know it's just building on the later 2 Hobbit films to create Marvel-as-swords-and-sandals.
I'm just afraid they'll destroy the Middle-Earth Mythos in an effort to be inclusive.
They've already destroyed the rest of my childhood favorites.
Why can't Hollywood writers create their own worlds and mythologies and put brilliant and heroic people in them? Is it because Hollywood doesn't believe in heroes anymore?
There are literally thousands of books out there whose authors would love to have them made into movies and TV shows. Some would even bastardize their own works in an effort to get rich. Martin willingly sacrificed his fire and ice novels to hollywood and became a drone.
The only problem is that once sacrificed, nobody wants to read the source material anymore, or even watch the shows. Nobody watches Rings of Power or Wheel of Time except to lampoon it.
But that's Empire for you, creativity dies, civilization collapses, and art turns to trash.
Best post thing I've seen on this news. Well done! Add my vote for Matt Berry as Bombadil.

So much to read here, wow! I might have to read this one twice!
Loved how you did this..."But they were, all of them, deceived, for another LOTR movie was made."
