TV - Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power
Junkyard Dog replied to RUPERTKBD's topic in Off-Topic General
Depending the show or movie probably a mixture of various sort of reasons. Incompetence in writing teams(especially I find), Modernization(though not as bad as the right makes it out to be but still), rushing(leaks just came out with higher ups from Lucasfilm admitting they feel they rushed the sequels, take with grain of salt)(a lot of these shows are from live services like Amazon, Netflix, Disney+, etc and they are always competing with each other to put out product rather than taking the time to put out quality product). A lot of those things can domino into each other too. At least that's how I feel personally. -

From what I heard, Cavill wanted it to be a more of a faithful adaptation of the books since he's a huge fan of the games/books. The writers decided to stray away from the source material. Henry Cavill is a super nerd and he isn't afraid of talking about it, he almost missed his call for Superman because he was playing World of Warcraft. So I can imagine as a nerd if he doesn't think he can be faithful to the source material of something he's a nerd about then he might have issues. He'd look great as Arthas(Kind of a tragic character like Anakin/Vader) in a Warcraft 3 movie(the 1st Warcraft movie was the first game and the 3rd game has the best story/characters). Same thing happened with the Halo series straying away from source material and the show's 1st season wasn't good. I guess in comparison with RoP I liked HoD better but IMO shows/movies as a whole have gone a little downhill the last few years. Hence why I stick with Anime since most of it comes from Japan and most of the time they stick with the source material of mangas(comics from Japan). -

Wasn’t a fan. House of the Dragon was better IMO. Better acting and more cohesion. I didn’t really have high expectations for either show tbh. Henry Cavill is not playing the Witcher anymore which makes me sad and the Halo series first season sucked. Not many good fantasy/sci-fi shows anymore IMO. Tend to stick to anime as it never seems to let me down. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks

We're also likely to mainly get picks/prospects out of the deal. No playoff team will want to lose an impact player for him during their run. Neither would teams looking to get over the hump and into the playoffs.
