Rings of Power

@SunshineGirl He hated analogy and is on record as saying so, and he was also incredibly protective about his work. He wouldn't have even liked the Jackson films to be honest. They though at least did their best to respect the lore.

This show though has just grabbed the lore/canon and taken a huge dump all over it. People going places they shouldn't, filling roles they never did, interacting with folks they never met, and then we have Galadriel... Jesus Christ she is terrible.

@Whodunnit I sympathise and I don't mean to belittle people who are upset by a treatment of their treasured culture. When I was at school my favourite film was the original Clash of the Titans, in all its clay modelled glory. I was furious when it was remade with CGI, but then I realised that I just happened to cherish one telling of a old story over another and my memories and enjoyment were actually not greatly affected 🙂

@SunshineGirl Yeah, it seems a little silly to those who are not as passionate about the subject, and I would not be too bothered if it was merely bad, but they are going so far as to try to besmirch Tolkien's character and claim this is the story he would or should have written.

These showrunners aren't even fit to sharpen Tolkien's pencils...
