There are two possible results, by my reckoning.
-
Viewership will organically be abysmal, and this will be blamed on "racist audiences" with endless lecturing.
-
Viewership will be artificially inflated so as to lend credibility to wokewashing. Endless uplifting articles about how racism is being defeated by love.
In Middle Earth, orcs can be niggers/islanders/amerindians and haradrim can be mideasterners/asian. That is my only concession to diversity.

imo, everything amazon does is just an ad for aws. aws is huge because it sucks up venture capital from the everything bubble, and I'm pretty sure they're in big trouble imminently because that bubble is ending because inflation cannot be ignored forever.
I know I've said this before, but it's all symptoms of the problem. They don't need a show that makes money, they need a show that keeps amazon in the headlines.

Interesting take. I'm not sure at all how that works.

This makes sense to me. All that matters now is having enough media currency that people keep thinking of you. I think they used to run TV spots, but making a shambolic dumpster fire of a woke LOTR ripoff might get them even more media time.
Of course, an employee-instigated shooting in one of their fulfillment centers might do even better. Let the bodies hit the floor, I say.
