I won't watch it simply because the contract for the source material that Amazon signed just hamstrings the whole thing.And no, whomever scripted this is no Tolkien by a loooooong shot! Plus if you haven't got a peek at all the diversity and inclusion mandates on almost all recent entertainment productions you have no idea of the ridiculous quotas and narrative constrictions that they aim to put in place.I'll post a few from Amazon productions.But please do read the entire webpage.
https://dei.amazonstudios.com/inclusion-policy/
This right here is what your entertainment is becoming...
"We recognize that ensuring equity in the future requires correcting inequities of the past. This policy will focus on specific goals with respect to the stories we tell and the people we engage to tell them. Going forward, we’ll hold ourselves accountable by tracking data, and we plan to increase representation both on screen and behind the camera year-over-year. As our trusted creative and production partners, we ask you to join us in these efforts so we may move the industry toward a more representative and inclusive future."
"To reduce invisibility in entertainment, and where the story allows, we aim to include one character from each of the following categories for speaking roles of any size, and at minimum 50% of the total of these should be women: (1) lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or gender non-conforming / non-binary; (2) person with a disability; and (3) three regionally underrepresented racial/ethnic/cultural groups (e.g. in the US, three of the following: Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Middle Eastern/North African, or Asian / Pacific Islander or Multi-Racial). A single character can fulfill one or more of these identities."
"Stereotyping
We discourage stories that solely depict harmful or negative stereotypes, slurs, and dehumanizing language related to identity as well as narratives that link identity factors to jobs, religious beliefs, social class, or behavior."
"Historical Depictions
Content that features out-of-date historical stereotypes, language and iconography must avoid gratuitous use of such portrayals"
This is NOT about storytelling anymore sadly,it's a forced narrative....And almost all companies are adopting this.
