    @PrimeVideo I recently bought season 1 of Ghosts on Amazon Prime and have had several issues. Episodes 5 and 6 are switched around with the wrong titles, as are episodes 8 and 9. Episode 11 has been eliminated altogether and episode 10 is listed twice in a row. Please fix this!

    @PrimeVideo Narnia movies. To me, even with the problems, both the movies are better and more complete than the books.

    @LOTRonPrime @PrimeVideo Awful

    you’ve got that wrong (@Templar_Agent) reported

    @AdventuringMan @LOTRonPrime @PrimeVideo There’s so much wrong with this line of thought, but here’s the simplest one: if you think Tolkien’s work was already diverse enough, why wouldn’t a faithful adaptation be better? Amazon obviously disagrees.

    @LOTRonPrime @PrimeVideo I have no more trust in how Amazon does these series... worst writers in history.

    @EvadSmon @LOTRonPrime @PrimeVideo I’m a huge fan of the original Lord of the Rings and I agree….the Hobbit trilogy was absolutely awful.

    Help!! Do I read all 3 of the #TSITP books and then watch the show or just read the first one and then watch it? @PrimeVideo

    @LOTRonPrime @PrimeVideo Hey, I'm a lifelong LOTR fan. It's my favorite thing in all of pop culture. I was extatic when I heard Amazon was going to make a LOTR serious. Well, long story short, I couldn't care less about it, I'm looking forward to watching it crash and burn. **** you Amazon.🍆

    Is it just me, or is the @PrimeVideo UI the worst of the major streaming services?

  • TijuanaTwoStep

    @AdventuringMan @LOTRonPrime @PrimeVideo Do you know WHY woke is an insult? Because it always supercedes the story. There is absolutely nothing wrong with natural diversity. The problem is making it the focus instead of, you know, making good content. Go woke go broke is a law for a reason. Woke content sucks.

    @ichray63 @LOTRonPrime @PrimeVideo Oh you’re totally gonna get hate for the wokeness from some people. I’m saying there are a lot of other issues with this series that people have more of a right to be critical of

  • brian606k
    Brian (@brian606k) reported

    @LOTRonPrime @PrimeVideo These streaming platforms are having a hard time making Quality over quantity if you ask me. Anyone watch The Wheel of time ?? Horribly done. Netflix has a hard time putting anything original stuff out that’s any good. Stranger Things was ok but they should’ve ended it.

    Holy ****, I've never seen a mismanagement of content as terrible as Prime Video Singapore. Missing episodes & bonus content, hell, y'all don't even have your own damn shows on here. What an abysmal streaming service. Get your **** together @PrimeVideo @AmazonHelp @AmazonSG.

    @OlavLarsThorsen @LOTRonPrime @PrimeVideo I am black and what you are saying is true. Putting black people in a show isnt the problem here. It's that they are agenda pushing....... Ty for saying this

    @itsfoss2 I do not watch Netflix but Primevideo and Disney and both of them are 720p as well. Although maybe because I hace not set it up right, I am pretty sure that 720p it is the standard. Fortunately it is not such an issue for me but I understand people being pissed because of that.

    I don't know what the hell @amazon is thinking, but their most recent Firestick update made @PrimeVideo ITSELF unusable.

    @PrimeVideo why do you have THE ABSOLUTE WORST user interface ever? As someone who works in tech I actively try to avoid your app because it’s so damn bad.

  • MissRoni76

    @The_BTC_Base @LOTRonPrime @PrimeVideo How TF does a company with so much money (I'll toss WB into this mess too), somehow fail to hire at least one person that's knowledgeable about Tolkien. It's not like there isn't 10M fans that can recite pages of quotes that would be more than willing to work on a Tolkien show.

    @ThomasMeskill @LOTRonPrime @PrimeVideo That would require creativity and the ability to not care what others think. Not possible when you work off a progressive checklist.

  • MomInsomni
    InsomniMom (@MomInsomni) reported

    @LOTRonPrime @PrimeVideo I know Tolkien himself would have hated this. Professors who knew him knew that you did not edit or change his work in any way, shape or form. I would list everything wrong but Twitter only allows so many words ( and no, it’s not the race “issue” that’s wrong.)

    @LOTRonPrime @PrimeVideo The trailers for this look terrible.
