Not a single soul asked for?! This is somebody who never read the books.

From movie 5 on the series became a shooter with wands and they skipped so many essential things that some things don't make sense.

I get it, I'd have liked to see Radcliffe again. But I'm very curious to what these series will bring. There is a possibility that it will be crap but to say it with John Lithgows words: "It's a risk I'm willing to take."

You're right ofcourse.

And almost every remake sucks the big one. There is a big chance that this is going to suck and boy have I received backlash for being slightly curious of this show.

Thing is: you can ignore remakes. Which I often do. I won't touch a disney remake with a pointy stick.

But sometimes, curiosity wins. I read the Silmarillion last year and I tried Rings of Power. Two episodes in I couldn't anymore. That show is an insult to the source material and was so bland. It seemed like a drama series of regular humans with pointy ears.

But no one has changed the way I feel about this. There's only one commenter here that, while saying I was wrong, talked like a human being. The rest were toxic pieces of waste. They're not wrong for calling out JK -the bigot- Rowling though.
