LOTR fans are mad about something obscure in LOTR lore being smeared by Amazon's weird LOTR adaptation coming out, but in fairness to them, why adapt anything LOTR if you haven't got people with phds in LOTR lore?
It's one of the series that you absolutely do not fuck around with the lore because that is what it's known for.
Star wars, star trek, Jurassic park, whatever man, do whatever, most people just know the general lore anyway, but LOTR?
Lotr fans haven't read anything but the silmarillion since they were 12, hire one of them.
