Honestly the biggest crime the show has committed is how generic and boring it looks.
You are dealing with not only the Grandfather of all modern High Fantasy settings, but are attempting to adapt a huge chunk of what is essentially the Middle Earth Bible (the Silmarillion).
And you made it look like every other fantasy show and series that is out now like.....
I don’t even have the words to describe my disappointment right now.
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.
Being known as the fandom whose lore you absolutely do not fuck around with makes me incredibly happy.
Why… why the FUCK… would you add characters… to the Silmarillion??? The one book… the ONE BOOK ON EARTH that has enough fucking characters
