Honestly, yeah, probably.

Resource tracking is a drag, unless every single member of the party is into it. Because of they’re not, then inevitably it will come down to one guy who gets to be the accountant for the whole group, and that leads to disputes where he gets to decide who got what reward when and what’s in their damned pockets.
Sauron eats pieces of shit like Tucker Carlson for breakfast.
And wielding cool battle-axes, presumably.
It it’s any consolation, it has literally zero bearing on the actual plot.
The giant mittens will never not be funny.
If Earth orbit doesn’t count as leaving Earth, then Lunar orbit counts as being in Lunar territory.
I mean someone had to establish precedent. Can’t have people just coming from the moon without their papers.
“Earth” literally just means “the dirt under your feet”.
But most of us don’t identify our location so broadly. We say what state or country we’re in, and identify culturally that way. I imagine that won’t change when there are people living on the Moon. They’ll identify by the name of the base or settlement they live in.
I’m more interested in where the “border” is in this case. At what altitude are you no longer considered to be in US airspace?
That’s just royal fashion.
No it doesn’t. It really doesn’t.
Courage doesn’t play into it. It’s a business, and people don’t watch original material without a miracle of good timing and circumstances. An established property is always a safer bet, and thus generally a better investment.
With a prequel like this, I find it helpful to think of it as historical fiction, set within a fictional universe. I can enjoy a story about Robert Oppenheimer even though I know he succeeds in making the bomb, or find Apollo 13 riveting even though I know they all made it back. Tension over whether a character dies or not isn’t and shouldn’t be the only factor in whether a story is entertaining.
It’s entertaining, looks gorgeous, is well-acted, and uses Tolkien as a primary inspiration.
Go in without expectations that it’s going to be just like when you read the Silmarillion at 16 years old and you might just have an enjoyable 45 minutes once a week.
No joke, I think bringing back the Hirogen could be a lot of fun.

That’s how a lot of marketing astroturfing works though.
You let people post things organically, then you signal boost the shit out of them, and nobody can claim it’s false or contrived, because OP really did just post a thing they like.
sigh
Except it just goes in a circle.
