    The trailer hopefully will show:

    • Jack Black as a Goron king wincing saying “ooo right in the dekus!” after Link gets hit in the groin by a slingshot and crosses his eyes before falling backwards
    • The Rock as Ganondorf doing the eyebrow raise, and saying, “can you smell what the 'dorf is cooking?”
    • James Bautista sneaking into a Gerudu camp wearing a lacy tube top, face covering, and flowing pants
    • Link’s horse making a suggestive whinny and pushing Link closer to Zelda played by Zendaya

    angry internet gamer noises

    Neither of these people are ethnically elfish. Immersion absolutely ruined. FFS, Mr. Zelda looks downright Norwegian. Not a drop of Hyrulean blood in his veins. I’m boycotting this movie. I’m boycotting it!

    Given the rest of the comments in this thread, here’s a controversial opinion: Imma reserve my judgement instead of judging a book by its cover.

    I find it hard to tell if a movie - especially its plot - is good or bad based on just 3 images.

      Check out the Shannara live action series, the stills kind of reminds me of that (even though I only watched 1 episode)

        I see it, maybe a little more post-industrial. But if you’d told me these were stills from Rings of Power (especially the last one) I would have accepted it without question.

        Also, how have I missed out on Shannara? It looks amazing, glad you mentioned it ❤️

          I remember reading the books, but I felt way to far away from the target audience for the live action so just gave it one episode. I hope Im not giving you disappointment ;)

            Not at all falling in love with a classic series of fantasy novels and then feeling alienated by a modern cinematic adaptation written for a younger audience and a different time that I nevertheless feel should exactly reproduce my experience of the original and therefore am invariably disappointed is one of my favorite things, I do it all the time. Already got the first audiobook downloaded, looking forward to it.

              I kind of love the walking mess of Walker Boh, but that character is a bit further in the series (if I remember correctly). If you remember let me know what you thought when you feel youve made up your mind about the books

                Ok I’m about halfway through The Sword of Shannara and I’m enjoying it but it really feels like we’re just doing The Fellowship of the Ring Magic Sword. They just got through the halls of the dead (which they had to take, even though they’re guarded by the dead and are super dangerous but it’s the fastest route) and I 100% expected Gandalf Allanon to die fighting the Balrog lake tentacle monster. But they get out, and Shae gets washed away by the river, and now Allanon’s like “welp, the one guy who could wield the Magic Sword against the Evil Sorcerer, the guy this whole quest is about, might be dead now. He might not be, but let’s abandon him and go find the Magic Sword anyway”. I mean the author has explicitly stated that Allanon might have other plans up his sleeve but I really don’t understand why finding Shae isn’t priority #1.

                  So basically older style youth fantasy. Maybe its not only the live action Ive grown out of, I might only remember the books through rose tinted glasses
