I think maybe there was a misunderstanding in what I was saying. I wasn’t saying projects are getting cancelled. My worry was that projects that were announced that I was excited for wouldn’t get greenlit and therefore be cancelled. That’s why I also mentioned in the episode things could still move forward but in a different capacity. Ie we’re probably gonna get the paradise lost show BUT it might not end up being the game-of-throne-esque story I was interested in seeing

Us too. The art looks amazing, I can't wait to see it in motion

It’s not bad. It’s fun. There’s some wild ideas in there. The best part is easily Richard Dawson

If they don’t it’s such a missed opportunity

They’re only shown in like one scene in the trailer so I hope they play a bigger role in the actual series

I remember hearing that I’ll have to try to give it a watch

The old ones definitely a classic. I hope this lives up to that level of fun

That’s what it was called. It was really bothering me I couldn’t remember that

Honestly I think if someone didn’t care about the movie this news wasn’t gonna change their decision. And I don’t know how many people will stop going because of this. If people don’t go it’s because marvel has been… let’s just say disappointing lately

I definitely hope we see Cheetah, that character was done dirty in WW84. Goodness and the Furies would be cool, they could set up a Darkseid story with other DC heroes. I would be down for that

@@newwavenerds This game has alot of potential, im going to keep my fingers crossed despite everyone saying the development is “troubled”. Alot of fans are really anticipating this game I bet it will still be amazing not perfect but still 🙂⭐️✨

I'm definitely hopeful too. The studio has my support from the Shadow games, and I'm always excited to see superhero games

THANK YOU, it was bothering me so much that I couldn't remember

@@newwavenerds 💙

Okay okay, I like what I'm hearing. Luke Evans as Sinestro would be really interesting. I'm not too familiar with his work, so my mind always goes straight to Bard from the Hobbit. Terry Crews as Kilowog is both hilarious and amazing, I must see it

I'm still holding out hope. There's been more than enough bad projects, but there's still been a few gems in my book. I really enjoyed Andor S1 and hope they can continue that level of storytelling in 2

AHH thank you. It was bothering me so much that I couldn't remember that

That would be pretty cool, it would certainly mitigate my complaints about conception using the force. And would also make the reveal of RoS a little less lame. If this is the route they go with it, I would've liked some small hints or easter eggs in the background that imply that. Something really subtle that most people would miss, but upon second watch it's obvious. The hallmark of a good mystery

“Re-re-return the map. Return what you have stolen” I should watch that one again. And I completely forgot Krull existed until now

@@newwavenerds See! Perfect reason for a remake!

Giving the creator more freedom to create new content is what frightens Tolkien fans.

@@pal8h I hear you, for sure! But at least this project involves someone we trust (Boyens) and not someone who we had absolutely no history with [Hedlund (Acolyte)]. I'll continue to be (more) hopeful here.

Thanks for the comment, I’m glad you liked it! And that’s a fair point. A good example is Ahsoka in Star Wars. She came out of nowhere (with kind of a rocky start in the Clone Wars movie) and has since become one of my favorite characters in the universe

@@pal8h my worry is that the character doesn’t feel like a Tolkien character. Like she could be very well written and still feel out of place in the universe. But that being said I agree with @Selrahc_69 about being hopeful for the movie

Yeah he’s been “busy” since I was 9 years old

Oh yeah, I think it can be super epic, but the budget is definitely a worry. Hopefully HotD Season 2 will be received really well so they can afford those 300 dragons and the massive raft city!

@@newwavenerds and the big turtels lol

That's true. I guess my hope is just that they focus mostly on the voyage and their time in Dorne, and I'm a little worried that the studio execs will say "put more dragons in, that's what the people want to see"

That's a fair point. Considering Dragon is in the title of the show, we do see only see them for a short time. I guess my complaint was more that I felt like the intrigue aspect of the story was underutilized. But that being said, at the time of the recording I was only halfway through the first season of HotD and starting in episode six there's a lot more of that. I do also have to remind myself that HotD has a much smaller cast so it's harder to have all of the interweaving storylines. Thanks for your comment and insight, it was really helpful!

I guess I don’t know what you mean by new timeline. And this story hasn’t been seen yet on screen so I guess I’m a little confused

@@newwavenerds I hate that there is always another spin off, instead of new original ideas.

@@carlosdumbratzen6332 fair enough it definitely feels like the studios are just milking their franchises for all their worth

@@newwavenerds yeah, and to me lotr is kinda special. It feels out of play to see it getting the same franchise treatment as marvel or harry potter

@@carlosdumbratzen6332 on that much we definitely agree. Lord of the rings doesn’t deserve the marvel treatment

I've heard a lot of people say that the reason he's taking so long is because of the negative reaction to the show. I obviously don't know if that's true (only George does), but hopefully it means we'll get a better ending than what Benioff and Weiss gave us

@@newwavenerds His career just took off and he's taking advantage of all of the other opportunities that are very time sensitive. I'd take time off writing the 5th book to do other things too. No one stays this famous for long. It always ends. He's enjoying it while he can and taking the opportunities coming at him. But that being said, 13 or 14 years to write this god damn book is ridiculous.

@@newwavenerds I'm sure he'd understand that the negative reception wasn't because of the end-point itself, but because of the rushed and nonsensical path to get there. He said in an interview that they could have done 12-13 seasons, so he knows better than anyone just how rushed the ending was.

I'm super excited too. I can't even imagine how epic the battle at Helm's Deep will be

Exactly. He's been working on six for over a decade now. I'm convinced he's just putting it off until he passes on

Oh, it just happens like that? Doing anything creative not only involves actively working on it, but also requires subconscious buildup. There is no such thing as "complete story", because you can change it all the time. It is matter of how it fits to the rest. And that's not a linear process than can be quantified. You can't force your mind and find a part that you are going to enjoy. Using any part that's subpar fit is subpar storytelling, which GRRM isn't doing.

@@kulkalkul Yeah he's definitely crafted an amazing story so far, and I know that he's mentioned in the past that he writes like a gardener tending the roses, nurturing the story as it unfolds itself. I love the books, so it's just a little bit frustrating that we've had to wait so long. I joked about him putting it off until he passes because my real fear is based on the fact that he was born three years after the end of WWII, and there's two more books left. It's out of my love for the series that I complain about the thirteen year wait

@@newwavenerds ​ Yeah, I understand, I'm also saddened by the fact that we probably won't see 7th book from GRRM himself. I was replying to "finish the damn books" part because it was unrelated to the video context 😅

Rude whiny & anonymous. GRRM doesn’t owe you anything. His first loyalty is to himself, his family, & his art. Grow up.

I like the sound of that. Flock of Dragons also sounds like my next hairstyle

I'm never good enough for you, am I? I'll just drop down a manhole
