I'm not saying review bombing doesn't happen, just that it tends to happen with stuff that isn't really good or just flat out terrible.

Why isn't HOTD getting review bombed like this? They race swapped an entire Westeros family.

But it's actually GOOD.
Are you kidding me... Critics review bomb shit all the time that "Is wrong for society"

Go look at rotten tomatoes for great examples of Critics review bombing shit that regular people love.

Forgot to mention; I like the idea of PTSD Gladriel. It makes her more of a compelling character. They aren't exactly nailing it but it's interesting.

I was so bored watching this, that I honestly didn't even catch the racial aspect of the scene with the white dude and the black elf until it was pointed out on a YT video I just watched.

Please don't try to tell me that wasn't a perfect example of the writers/showrunners not being capable of keeping their politics out of the storyline of a fucking fantasy show.

It's not enough to cast a black elf, they have to introduce him in the most on the nose fashion imaginable.

Meh. I havent finished Episode 2 yet (mostly finished with it though) and so far idk what all the hoopla is over.

Thus far i've enjoyed the world they created. None of the characters bother me. I haven't been bored with it. Looks like Lord of the Rings to me.

So I finally got through the first 2 episodes.

It’s pretty meh.

There are some absolutely fantastic visuals. I mean brilliant. In a world where I hear the VC houses are overworked and that’s why some of the production looks like shit these days, this absolutely does not.

Fact is, I’m having trouble buying in. I know the endgame and it’s hard to put stakes in when I know what happens. I’m having a similar problem with House if the Dragon, but to a much lesser degree. The characters seem more compelling in HOD. Fact is I dug Elrond in the dwarf palace and that’s really it. I’m not buying any of the tension they’re trying to seed. It’s just visuals. We’ll see. It’s not horrible to the point I’m out but it’s tough to be in just yet.

I couldn’t give a fuck about the race of who’s who. Didn’t read the books. Don’t care.

HOWEVER

Since it’s a thing, and I’m an asshole all I could think was

Spoiler!


:-)

Yep. Off to hell I go.

I hate woke bullshit but I have zero issue with what the characters are so far. So there's a black elf? Who cares, he's good.
