Something vaguely like LoTR...
What I like about LoTR(well the first trilogy anyway) is that it actually feels like a real and organic world. People dress in a way that makes sense and that one could believe a culture actually would, the writing and story follows that same route and the use of CGI and dumb flashy fight scenes and such are minimal. Cartoon orcs, the dumb fight scenes and the bloom everywhere killed the Hobbit for me. This series does not have cartoon orcs but they do dress and look stupid. I very quickly get taken out of the world by things like this, by anything that looks unbelievable and inauthentic.
This series has A LOT of things that do not make sense, all of the costumes in this show look like generic fantasy and don't fit the cultures and people they are trying to create, and on top of that there is such a clash of ideas within the costumes of even the same cultures in the show.
There are issues about the ways that these cultures themselves are made as well, like the Harfoots. They come across as something created by somebody who has no idea about anything and just wants a generic hippy people. There way of life makes no sense in anyway, you can't be a tree hugging peaceful nomad people that have no pack animals and pull these carts huge distances by hand but yet also treat each other terribly and would sooner let a fellow tribesman fall behind and die than lend a hand in anyway.
The writing is terrible as well, the dialogue is stupid but the way scenes play out is bad a swell.
And then there are black elves and dwarves and whatever like the creators never understood what race and culture even is. I don't mind them adding black dwarves but it has to be done in an organic way to the world which actually would not have been hard, just say Desa was a princess from some far eastern black dwarf culture and have her dress and sound different to reflect that.
Basically, I just want something that makes sense and looks and behaves like a real world.
