The War of the Rohirrim: Peter Jackson mutilates J.R.R Tolkien's work again!

Another bait and switch ripoff of Tolkien's stories is coming from Peter Jackson

The woke commies at Warner Brothers are at it again, pushing their twisted, depraved agenda on the world. This time around, they have taken a story that appears in Appendix A of the book The Return of the King. That story involves Helm Hammerhand and his two sons, with a piddling mention of an unnamed daughter.

So, of course, Warner Brothers has decided to change the story Tolkien created to focus on the unnamed daughter. Hey, who cares about the actual story when we have the opportunity for yet another girrrrrrl-power propaganda event, right?

Here is a good breakdown of the abomination created by Warner Brothers through a look at a marketing document for the film:

Now, a new marketing document obtained by YouTuber Arch provides new details on the upcoming animated film and how it will change Tolkien’s story.

According to the document, Héra, the unnamed daughter in Tolkien’s story is the main protagonist. The document states, “Finding herself in an increasingly desperate situation Héra, the daughter of Helm, must summon the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy intent on their total destruction.”

It adds, “This all-new standalone cinematic adventure forges the legend of Héra, the rebellious daughter of Helm Hammerhand as she answers the call to protect her people in a battle for their survival that shapes the destiny of Middle-earth.”

Furthermore, the document asserts that Héra is “a fierce, young, complex, rebellious woman, defending and ensuring the survival of her people even against her childhood friend.”

Of note, Tolkien does not name Héra at all and she plays no role in the actual story he wrote. On top of this, there is no evidence that Wulf and Hammerhand’s unnamed daughter were childhood friends. In fact, Tolkien makes it clear that “Helm mistrusted [Freca], but called him to councils; and he came when it pleased him.”

Ironically, the document also implies that they intend to bait and switch potential viewers. It details that it wants to entice viewers into the film by reinforcing “connections between the world that LOTR fans know and love with this new film – familiar characters (Helm, Eowyn, stunt casting), beautiful settings; Tolkien easter eggs and a continued tradition of quality filmmaking at its finest.”

Here is the trailer of War of the Rohirrim:

As you might expect, Peter Jackson is involved in this mess (though the director is Kenji Kamiyama). I have taken issue with Jackson’s characterizations of Aragorn, Gandalf, and other characters from the Lord of the Rings in the past, and here he and his minion Kamiyama have gone even further in stealing Tolkien’s ideas and then mutilating them to push a woke commie agenda.

Here’s some of what I said about Jackson’s distortion of LOTR in an earlier article:

I know that there are many who love and idolize Jackson’s movies, and even consider them to be free of woke propaganda, but that is not true. I, too, love the spectacle of those films, and Jackson did get some things right. But the films are not true to some of the characters in the books.

Consider these examples:

In the films, Aragorn said, “I do not want that power,” and Arwen had to nudge him toward wanting to become king. In the books, Aragorn believes being king is his destiny, and only Sauron stands in his way. Book Aragorn is confident, sure of himself and his destiny. Film Aragorn is weak and uncertain, not wanting to take the power that is his birthright.

Arwen is a bad clone of Xena: Warrior Princess in the films. At one point, she sneaks up on Aragorn (who, in the books, is the greatest ranger in the West) and holds a sword to his throat. Film Arwen lacks the grace and dignity of Book Arwen, and is a pretentious imitation of Xena.

In the flight to the ford, Arwen calls the shots, not Frodo. In the book, it is Frodo who rides the white horse alone and attempts to defy the ring wraiths at the ford. Arwen was put into that scene to push the “girl power” narrative, and it ruined an important moment in the Fellowship of the Ring.

In the films, it is Arwen who calls on the river to bar the way of the ring wraiths, not Elrond. In the book, Elrond commands it and Gandalf makes the water appear as horses, etc.

Glorfindel, the male elf in the books, is written out completely to make way for Arwen: Warrior Princess.

In the book, Gandalf the Grey defeated a Balrog in Moria before he died, and then returned, grown in power and likely second only to Sauron himself. In the films, Gandalf’s staff is broken, and he is knocked off his horse by the Witch King. In the book, they never fought, and the Witch King left when Rohan arrived.

Gandalf is diminished in the LOTR films as he represents the White male patriarch archetype. His diminishment is even worse in the Hobbit movies, where Galadriel: Warrior Princess has to rescue him from Dol Guldur.

Gimli, a serious and heroic male character in the books, is made into comedy relief in the films. At one point, he falls off the horse, and Eowyn laughs (which was totally out of character for her).

Aragorn - a male hero - is deliberately diminished by the screenwriters to fluff up Arwen: Warrior Princess. He must be made weaker so that she can appear stronger. The same goes for Gandalf; he must be diminished in the Hobbit movies so Galadriel: Warrior Princess can be made to look stronger. Frodo - another male hero - is also diminished by becoming a rag doll for Arwen to hold on the horse while she rides away from the ring wraiths.

There is much more that I could cover here about Peter Jackson’s films, but you get the idea. While admirable in terms of spectacle, his films were a precursor to the woke communist trash produced by Amazon called “The Rings of Power.” That series was so bad that I’m not even going to get into it here. You can find tons of material elsewhere examining how awful it was in terms of woke commie propaganda.

Whenever I point out the failed characterizations of Jackson’s films, I get crap from people whose perceptions of the books are superficial, and who are swept away by the spectacle of the films. But it is important to note all of it because we are hell and gone from the days when Jackson made those films. The mutilation of Tolkien’s characters that Jackson engaged in is NOTHING compared to what will be done now.

New Tolkien TV shows and films are going to be at least as bad as “The Rings of Power” in terms of woke communist propaganda. All the movie studios were taken over by the woke mind virus years ago, and the commies are fully in control of all the content they produce. It is highly unlikely that any Tolkien-related content is going to be free from the woke mind virus.

Anyway, I bring all of this up as examples of why Peter Jackson (and anyone associated with him) should NEVER be trusted to represent Tolkien’s work. The War of the Rohirrim is clearly another attempt to suck a few more dollars out of Tolkien’s work while pushing a woke communist agenda on the audience. This is Jackson’s MO, and it has been since the original LOTR films he released. The only thing that saved those films to a certain degree was that the woke mind virus had not yet metastasized to where it is now in the West. Those films would have been much worse if they had been made ten years later.

My recommendation is that you do not pay to watch The War of the Rohirrim. Let it become another woke bomb for Warner Brothers. Send them a message by not giving them a dime of your money to watch this garbage. I certainly will not pay for it, nor would I waste my time watching it if someone gave it to me for free. It is just another piece of woke trash that disgraces and devalues the Catholic genius of J.R.R. Tolkien.

I wonder how many more Tolkien bait and switch movies are going to come from Peter Jackson? He’s done enough damage already, but I doubt he’s done. He’ll suck Tolkien’s work dry in terms of money, all the while continually wiping his fat ass with the true spirit of Tolkien’s stories.

What a disgrace! 🙄
