On the bright side Briton’s… Tolkien turning in his grave so fast over that abomination on amazon

Could make a fantastic generator to lower your heating bill? 😁

I have only seen the first two episodes of The Rings of Power and enjoyed it.

Besides, Tolkien tried for years to get people to read his stories about middle earth before The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings and no one was interested... Now they are.

@Thevy29 The Silmarillion was more of a history of Middle Earth prior to The Hobbit or LOTR. There is little dialogue and character development. Methinks it was more an outline for another possible series of books that never happened and was put into order and published by his son. So yes, there is no real “narrative” in the “prequels” because the source material was more history than story.

@stratosranger I actually like the Silmarillion better than LOTR.

@Lila15 It was cool, kinda like a Biblical history that was written in another dimension

I was thinking of watching it just to see how bad it is, then had to self assess. Am I sadomasochistic enough for that kind of self abuse?

It would have been nice if they just did The Silmarillion instead of this “based on the world of Tolkien” nonsense. @SW-User

I watched enough posted clips/reviews to know it’s a flaming pile of dog shit👍🏻 I’ve read his works repeatedly for almost 40 years, it saddens me to se it defaced so.
