I dont think the Chinese would care that much about LotR just like they dont care about Star Wars.And you have now to make the Chinese happy or else
And Im guessing even Chinese fans would prefer a more faithful adaptation of a work that a screwed version with "empowerment" politics.
I really dont understand why studios think its a good idea to try to "change" work to fit with modern sentiments as opposed to recognizing their literary merit for what it was as a reflection of the times.
Wipe away the racism in "To Kill a Mockingbird" and you get a subpar tale about a random dude that got falsely accused. Change the ending so the guy goes free and you lose the point that the justice system is man-made and injustice can be dealt out unfairly because the system itself is corrupt.
LotR may not be as blatant in their social messaging but that doesnt mean its a relic that needs "updating"
To paraphrase the Joker, "It's not about the lore. It's about a sending a message."
And we've already decided they're the next "big stars" just like that? What happened to earning your stardom first? Or do we just hand out participation trophies now? Oh, and we'll give him Sting. Remember Stiiiiinnngggg?!?!?!
This is to my understanding a fan made photoshop of a new halfling/ hobbit character. The original image is Bilbo but with the new actors head swapped in because there is no officially released character image. I just find the photoshop work hilarious because it's so apparent.
Yeah, it's a photoshop. And I believe they can't use any of the previous weapon designs either.

They look a hell of a lot better than the waxy, CG nightmares of the Hobbit trilogy, I’ll give them that.
Exactly
Not sure if you're addressing me or the quote from theonering net.
I'm not familiar with Henry's work. I was responding to the quote which seemed to proclaim the cast of the show will be the "next big stars". Perhaps they meant it as they're the next established big stars to participate in Middle-Earth. If that's the case, it wasn't worded very well. As I said, I'm not familiar with any of the actors on the show, let alone Henry, so it's difficult to interpret their statement as the latter.

It's like a lot of other honors, it's just an honor, they're not meant to have any real tangible benefits other than the honor of receiving the title or medal itself.

Probably not for knighthoods but there are people who try to get around the strict requirements for titles. There's a company out there selling one-square-foot plots of land, I think in Wales, so that people can be lords and ladies. I don't think that was really the intent.

I have never cared less after a trailer for a property I love. That just didn't do aaaaaaaanything for me.
