"It’s not like the real thing": King Theoden actor destroys Amazon's woke LOTR show, casts it back into the darkness whence it came

We will have peace, Amazon, when you and all your works have perished – and the works of your dark master Bezos to whom you would deliver us.

Forth Eorlingas!

Lord of the Rings star Bernard Hill has hit out at Amazon's TV show The Rings of Power, criticising it as a 'money making venture'.

Hill played King Theoden in the second and third films in Peter Jackson's Oscar winning trilogy but has no desire to watch the prequel series.

Speaking to Metro, Hill was asked if he had watched The Rings of Power, to which he replied: "No, not interested."

He went on to say: "It's a money making venture and I'm not interested in watching that or being in it. Good luck to them and all that stuff but it's not like the real thing."

If you're wondering just how based this Bernard Hill is...

Hill also offered his thoughts on Jackson's follow-up Hobbit trilogy: "I think they were pushing it when they made The Hobbit. The Hobbit's a tiny book.

The Lord of the Mark gets it.

"They did it well – they did it really, really well. They expanded it [but] I think you can only stretch a piece of elastic so far. I think they managed it in The Hobbit because there were some really good things in The Hobbit without a doubt."

Amazon absolutely flopped in its woke $1-billion-a-season premiere of The Rings of Power.

This was a make-or-break project for Amazon Studios, but no one is talking about it anymore. A few weeks after it concluded, no one cares. There won't be any memorable GIFs or fondly repeated quotes in the months and years to come. Casual fans yawned the whole way through. Those who understand Tolkien know the entire venture was practically as anti-Tolkien as you can get.

In the end, it was a billion dollars flushed down the toilet, with four seasons yet to go.

We can't stop woke Hollywood from desecrating all that is good and green on this earth...

It's good to see King Theoden is on our side.

'The end will not be long,' said the king. 'But I will not end here, taken like an old badger in a trap. Snowmane and Hasufel and the horses of my guard are in the inner court. When dawn comes, I will bid men sound Helm's horn, and I will ride forth. Will you ride with me then, son of Arathorn? Maybe we shall cleave a road, or make such an end as will be worth a song — if any be left to sing of us hereafter.'
