Then call it something else, idiots.
‘Soft reboot’ feels a lot like corpo speak for “oops, execs meddled too much and it sucked”
Or in this case, the show runners were never interested in Tolkien.
I avoided it, kind of smelled like that from a distance
No
Fuck it! We’re doing it live!
Funny that the first photo in the article is Arondir, who was basically the main character in season one, but did almost nothing in season two and was wasted.
I’m ok with a soft reboot. The best storylines already wrapped up and the ones left weren’t great. The exception being the dwarf storyline, but they live long enough that we can just meet them again a few years down the road.
Plus the soft reboot hopefully shows that they realize things were going downhill. The show has had its moments, but probably just as many missteps as good steps.
Are we going to fuck off the “proto-hobbits” or do we still have to endure them to watch the rest of the show?
