does anyone know if there are other stories

compelling argument, but, alternatively, we could do literally anything else

What the hell kind of binary is this? Neither are needed, not wanted.

If it's animated, sure!

"Growing Up Orc". Follows a young Orc starting school, learning to hate Hobbits etc. Also an Orc Christmas special. With a choir.

[redacted]

Or… you could leave it alone?

No.

How about...

Go away.

Very fucking no

How is this not satire?

Yeah, I'm 100% sure that the trilogy of movies that won 17 oscars, nominated for 30 of them based on a series of books written by the godfather of modern fantasy isn't very good.

Nah, just let them be.

No.

No.

Rather that gooning over the memories of 35 to 65 years olds maybe the time has come for IGN to give itself a full over reboot and focus on games, and not movies and TV older than 30 years .

There are already two good adaptations of this book series, both starring Ian Holm. What would be the point of a third?

Uh oh God is gonna sink Hollywood beneath the waves for this one

There is no Harry Potter reboot.

That would just ruin the trilogy personally. LotR is special to me because of the cinematography involved. The practical effects are just mind blowing. A tv show would never replicate that. Let something amazing be amazing. Stop rebooting shit.

Why? Here's a radical idea: Think of some new stories. Stop rehashing things that were made with-in the last 25 years.

Nah.

Ugh. Not clicking that shite.

Love the courage but no, you're impressively wrong.

Nah

Dumb. Something new please. Either a new adaptation of an IP or straight up original story

no one is excited about the harry potter reboot though

Get tae fuck

“It burrrnnssssss us precious”

Studio executives are such rank cowards, they HATE making something new. They don't want to try new, untested stuff, they want stuff already proven to make money. That's why they're so eager for AI everything, *because* it just takes and remixes stuff that already exists.

Fuck no

Nah. I'll stick with the Peter Jackson films.

No

Or you could learn that other books exist and try taking an interest in those.

Or WB executives could try reading a third book series?

Damn, they're out of ideas for articles too, so sad!

IGN clearly not getting enough clicks from Twitter these days, my heart bleeds

Roses are red Here's something new Unlike your ideas I rate out of ten: two

Alternatively you could get fucked

maybe it's time to come up with an original idea howbowdat

No

Not any things need to be rebooted

There are so many classic fantasy series that could be adapted. Dune, has finally come out and been pretty successful, so I have a ln idea... MAKE SOMETHING NEW.

What a waste of journalistic time

Maybe we make new things instead of rehashing everything and butchering it.

Or just adapt the Silmarilon. FAITHFULLY!!!

Oh, fuck all the way off! Both these options suck absolute ass, but at least what LOTR is doing isn’t a moral failure.

Congrats on the rage bait clicks I guess.

Or maybe we literally just make something else instead of the same thing again. We are literally begging you actually.

Oh, honey, no. Also, no.

JAIL. Immediate fucking jail. Read new books.

Fuck new series for coporation media to make more money off all of us while raising subscription prices more. This is just a ploy for JK to make more money to harm the trans community and control the narrative because non of the original actors from the movies want anything to do with her and her bs

Or, maybe create something new…

Fuck off

how about just leave it the fuck alone and make new shit

It's a waste of time to re-adapt something that already has a good adaptation.

The harry Potter reboot is being done to cut the og actors out of royalties because they are pro trans rights and the author wants them to suffer. JK Rowling has said openly that is why. And the profits from this will continue to be used to attack women. You chose to not include this in your report

Isn’t there enough transphobia already?

No. Full stop.

Or how about you do other stories? I’m sure that there must be other ideas out there somewhere.

Counterpoint: Give Earthsea the unlimited budget cable TV show treatment for once you cowards. Also consider live action Armored Trooper VOTOMS.

they really let people write anything

who tf is that gomer

It already did get that. That's what Peter Jackson did. Now leave it the fuck alone. Before Jackson there was an animated one, and the soviet live action one. How about not recycling every idea to death?

Oh shut up IGN

NO

Or maybe just try some new shit?

How about no? Get some new ideas. Tell different stories, and preferably ones that don't enrich a hateful, genocidal maniac.

And the worst take of the year goes to: this garbage

Or we could tell new stories.

No

Please STFU

A much better idea would be for the venture capitalists and Wall Street bankers who run the Hollywood studios to just allow screenwriters and directors to make original films, instead of churning out inferior reboots, remakes, sequels, prequels, of films that were box office hits in the past.

Not after the shite that was the hobbit. The only acceptable treatments would be Tom Bombadil, and the Scouring of the Shire.

Absolutely not.

I can’t wait for your company to collapse

Make. New. Things. it's not hard. All you have to do is not copy old things.

Didn't Prime release an amazing LOTR series?? Why reboot it again??

Why

HP doesnt need it, everyone already seem to think its pointless since its just what we already have again. LOTR does NOT need a remake, reboot or spin offs

Counterpoint: nah, dawg.

Understand that i say this as a lifelong Tolkien fan: Read another book

Nah. That's dumb.

No, put that down. Pick a new book. Fuck them remakes and reboots.

Nope

IGN will see all these quotes and comments, ignore the nearly 10:1 ratio to likes, and end up with "This is the sort of content that engages people!"

By the way, HP's reboot it's just an intent of "Damatio Memoriae" against some actors and actress who have diametrically opposed opinions and views about Trans community and don't share the trnsphobic enthusiasm of J.K Rowling. And refill more the pockets of Rowling,funder of anti-Trans groups

I know this new Harry Potter hasn’t yet been released, but isn’t it time to reboot it with an entirely new cast?

No-one actually wants the Harry Potter TV show though

Shut up.

No, and the Harry Potter reboot is only happening because there are no ideas in it anyway

no fuck off

I think the original trilogy did a pretty good job. Why go back?

Rather than a continuing parade of reboots to hit the nostalgia buttons, maybe Hollywood should get some new blood with new experiences. I dunno, call me crazy, but I've got an epic fantasy script ready to go. I know a couple dozen people who also have great scripts that are fresh.

Or just... not? Those films are perfect. Go do some new movies, adapt new books that have never been adapted. Free yourselves. Frolick in Intellectual Property pastures new.

NO

??????????????????????????????? why?????

“We have Daniel Radcliffe at home”

its perfectly fine as is, adapt some other books already </3

Why ? The Peter Jackson movies are still great and don't need a remake ?

Perhaps harry potter should be resigned to the toilet of history you fuckwits

Absolutely not.

How is remaking something not clinging to the original? Remakes (outside of a few from the 80s and 90s) have shown time and time again that they do nothing new and just carbon copy the original. Just set new stories in the same universe. Remaking Harry Potter is stupid, too. It’s only for money.

shut the fuck up actually

No.

Apparently I’m the only human on earth that didn’t care for the LOT movies and would love a series attempt. Oh well.

Fuck all the way off with this.

The Lord of the Rings doesn't need a reboot, much less "Harry Potter-style" so please never type such disgusting words ever again. Also do your research. Harry Potter, or anything made by JKR, is something no one should support ever again.

Maybe having all entertainment be a constant loop of reboots and legacy sequels of the same 10 franchises actually ISN'T a good idea.

I'm glad that the Bluesky comment section has the right answer.

May you get a paper cut under your fingernail every other day for the rest of time.

I’ll watch the Extended Editions for the umpteenth time and be perfectly content. How about we get a Honor Among Thieves sequel, instead?

I double-checked the date to see if this was just an April Fools' day prank. A "hot take" so profoundly stupid could only be a joke, right? .. right?!??! 😖

The original Lord of the Rings… movies??

NO

You can post this all you want, the answer is still a fuck no
