Reply to Jack Ryan, Season 3- What did you think? by Smarkie
Better than season 2 but not as good as season 1. Over its three seasons the show has been very consistent in it’s tone, pace and style.
Honestly the show is cheesy, dumb and full of American jingoism but by god is it not entertaining.
I hope they keep making more of it, it is a very fun show.

Do you think Tolkien imagined his universe as having every 4th person black for no reason other than to hit diversity quotas? How are there non-homogenous communities in an age pre-global migration? Don’t try to act like the author misinterpreted Tolkien when we both know I am right.
EDIT: I’m supportive of diversity but in the context of this series it was not done right. For example, if they wanted to include asian people then have a story set in Rhun. If they wanted to include black people then have a story set in Harad.
You can include diversity while respecting the world Tolkien built but instead they did the lazy route and made a pre-industrial and pre-global migration based on Western Europe reflect the diversity of modern day America.

3000 people died (including both civilian and military deaths). Given that they had 300,000 troops that should have been fighting for their country’s survival, this is quite a small number of casualties. Evidently they didn’t put up much of a fight at all..
