No money in it.

What's sad is really not so much that Amazon could feel the need to sexualize something Tolkien-based, but that they're likely right that a large portion of potential viewers may both expect and desire that.
I've so often felt I was born in the wrong time.... ![]()

Isn't that at least a little bit of a requirement for being a Tolkien fan?
You know...one might have hoped that the ignominious and universally reviled way in which Game of Thrones ended might have put the kibosh on further larks of this nature. Yes, I realize too much money had already been sunk into the venture.

Maybe it's only going to be used in some way evocative of the decadence of Númenor in the days of its fall?
![]() No, I guess the producers (perhaps accurately) believe that, these days, because of GoT, in the minds of the general public, fantasy fiction = nudity. Regardless of any other content. This is going to make Peter Jackson's often broad approach look restrained I suspect.

Of course, they probably feel they can also run wild with the other Men in Middle-earth who had more of Sauron's influence.

If this series ever gets to the last days of Númenor and the end of the Second Age, it certainly won't be in Season 1, which is what they're filming now.

We all come into the world naked and leave it naked, so what's the fuss? As long as it's well written anything goes. (Not that I'm getting my hopes up too high on that account.) Maybe we'll even get treated to some Annatar/Celebrimbor slash? ![]() Or maybe the series is just going to delve into the married lives of Aldarion & Erendis, or Pharazon & Miriel, which may well involve some casual nudity, nothing worth getting our knickers in a twist.
