Amazon Prime has come with a new adaptation of the popular Lord of the Rings. JRR Tolkien's novel series won hearts after being adapted on to the silver screen and is set to do it once again as a series. However, the latest news about it, that there will be nudity in the Prime production has left netizens divided between feelings of dismay and outrage. Here's what this is about.
Amazon Prime is all set to come up with its own series of Tolkien's Lord of The Rings. While netizens seemed excited at first the latest reports have them feeling divided. It seems the series will also feature nudity. Some even went on to compare Game of Thrones to Lord of The Rings as the former had an abundant of such scenes. They are of the opinion that despite both being fantasy series, they are in no way similar.
Here's how Twitterverse is reacting to the possibility of nudity in Lord of The Rings series by Amazon Prime
Contrary to what the execs think, LOTR’s fanbase and GOT’s fanbase don’t really overlap, I don’t care how much of a Tolkien fanboy GRRM says he is.

Literally no one is asking for pointless sex & nudity in the Amazon LOTR series. https://t.co/R6qqTcb9Qu
I hope the Tolkien family/estate sues Amazon the moment they step out of line with the LotR show.

Remember when everyone was so happy that they didn't ruin the LOTR legacy like they did with basically every other franchise? WELL HERE COMES AMAZON.
