Anyone else feels like the new Amazon LOTR trailers have this odd fake feel to them?
It's like everyone is told to pose for a magazine and every shot feels so overly produced and too clean.
It kinda just feels like it's all meant to be pretty and that's about it

I can at least appreciate practical effects, the Orcs do look far too clean imo but I do like that they're wearing actual costumes and makeup and aren't CGI.

Most of the appearance of the orcs in the LotR movies were already makeup. Just vastly better makeup than this.

Cosplayers are on a whole 'nother level.

I think that's true in the original trilogy yeah, I don't think it's true in the Hobbit movies tho.
But yeah.
I do think the Orcs look way too clean in the Amazon show based on what I've seen tho, I liked more how dirty and slimey they looked in the original trilogy.
They looked very realistic while the Amazon ones kinda have this odd '' dude wearing a mask '' look.

Lost Ark now selling their summer skins and hosting their summer event (cost me 5700!!! for the pack!)..

Still here waiting for FFXIV's..

Happiness. My opinion of Sapkowski is uh... negative to put it lightly, given how he's acted towards CDPR across the years and his shallow, PR praise for the Netflix show. But teenager me is squealing with delight ATM. Been wanting to read these for years.

And now I know the order to read and buy them on my Amazon Kindle thanks ^_^

Who is the most powerful SMT protag and why is it the Demifiend?

Oh no no, you misunderstand. The order is actually Sword of Destiny > The Last Wish > the numbered books > Sea of Storms. The box didn't have them ordered, and I'd made a start on Blood of Elves before a friend was quick to correct my course.
