first I’ve heard of this show, so forgive me if you’ve heard this before. But. Aren’t all LOTR stories generic, because “generic fantasy” (as we know it today) was defined by LOTR in the first place?
LOTR has a certain style to it that makes it iconic, even the hobbit movies and spinoffs like Shadow of Mordor makes me think “Ahh, this is middle earth”. The trailer for war of the rohirrim feels like it could’ve been literally any fantasy anime movie.
Honestly, I’m kind of excited for it to not just look like the live action films or well-known artwork got converted to animation. I love LOTR and I love the films and other interpretive works we have but I’m definitely interested in a fresh take. Hoping this is good.
I know it’s been said often but if you remove “lord of the rings” from the title I would have never guessed. It looks very generic.
