Okay! New plan, everyone!
We’re going to spend our time and energy being excited about the Rohirrim film!
It’s being done by New Line Cinema, the original studio who did the Jackson Lord of the Rings films, and the production crew behind it includes Philippa Boyens, Richard Taylor, John Howe, and is being directed by Kenji Kamiyama.
It also focuses on one specific time period within the vast history of Middle Earth instead of trying to crush down and condense a HUGE era FULL of moments that could easily take up an entire film or show themselves into a single show.
The fact that the time period the movie focuses on happens within the lifetime of a single Human as well helps.
(somebody please edit a gif of Gandalf arriving at Helm’s Deep with Eomer and the Rohirrim but put The War of the Rohirrim title over it because honestly that’s what it feels like right now)
