Alternatively, anyone who works at ign dot com could see or read even one other movie or book.

An IGN reboot could be neat too. Roll the dice and start back from the ground up.

No

maybe it's time to log off

Please go work in a garden

Fuck off. Let the boy wizard die. Let LotR just be good.

Or maybe adapt the Silmarillion instead.

Respectfully, fuck off.

No

Some masterpieces are better left alone. Why not create something entirely new that could become just as legendary?

Rather than adapt even SLIGHTLY new stories, why not do the exact same stories AGAIN, like the massive bigot who can't write and just sits in her castle fuming online about trans people all day

No come up with something original already and stop milking my childhood

No. I'm good with the Peter Jackson movies.

I'd sooner geld myself like a horse.

And the entertainment industry continues to be ruled by executives terrified to give original IPs a single chance. "Oh, you want to make a show out of that popular new book series that's sold 20 million copies and has a rabid fanbase? Nah, I'd rather spend a billion dollars on LOTR fanfiction."

Uh... No to neither of them?

Counterpoint:

Sure, some of the CGI looks a bit dated now, but the forced perspective stuff is still great and the cast is fantastic. Does dated CGI really justify an entire new movie series? We'd end up with endless spin-offs too. Samwise's life before the journey. Gimli learning to use an axe, etc. Ugh.

And just so we're clear, the "me problem" was the subconscious expectation of the use of technology that didn't exist 20+ years ago. Not liking that technologuy.

Okay, asshole. Be a little more condescending with your opinions. "Modern graphics look bad" is not some self evident obvious truth.

I think the only reboot that needs to happen is a reboot of IGN

Shut up and fuck you??????

Yeah, hell no

You’re taking the wrong lessons from everything, my lil dog dudes

Nope

Spinoffs, you mean extensions? Story exploration, other ideas and avenues within a massive world? Why would fixing WHAT'S NOT FUCKING BROKEN be better!?!?!

Just make new stuff for fucks sake

There are so many amazing books and stories out there and we keep doing the same shit over and over.

Absolutely not.

No thank you. Leave the lord of the rings alone

How about no? We already have the perfect movie trilogy. Nothing else is needed in this franchise. Maybe some videogames.

Whether you like Rings of Power or not*, the Tolkien estate gave licensing permission to Amazon/MGM over other competitors specifically because every other bidder just wanted to do LOTR again. *it's still better than those fuckin' Hobbit movies.

This is the dumbest combination of words that have ever been combined

No

Get out of my office.

little known fact: there are are only two book series

At least use the films, jesus christ.

Do something radically different then. Make it set in the desert and cast brown people. Make the shire the oasis. Have Laurence Fishburn play Gandalf. Shake it up!

You don't have to post every shit-stupid idea, you know.

Piss off.

No.

what if people made new things instead

Or come up with new stuff that is not franchise we are tired of

Nope

The past time of taking perfect foreign-made creations and defecating on them with amateurish, dumbed-down knockoffs must end. Can anyone say for certain that Sauron would be defeated in a remake out of fear of offending the PDF file class?

and crushes a certain castle

How about ABSOLUTELY NOT

Is the film industry entirely lacking in creativity?

how dare you put Potter 2.0 and Frodo in the same image

Money is why sadly.

go fuck yourself absolutely not

Reboots/remakes stopped being appealing in the 2000s. Fellowship came out 25 years ago, but still feels just as "modern" as any blockbuster released today (if not more). It made more sense to remake a movie when 25 years was the difference between a movie from the early 70s & one from the late 90s.

incomprehensible take

No. Please, no.

Maybe just do something else. Anything else. Literally anything.

How about no? Shut up IGN

NOPE.
