    Fuck me, The plot is Stranger is now more articulate than in season one. IT Should be about middle earth, Not a work rehab institute.

    Can we just get it out of the way, already? The Stranger is Gandalf before he's call Gandalf.

    Bezos bought the appendices to LOTR. The second age - "In Lindon north of the Lune dwelt for a time Celeborn, Kinsman of Thingol, his wife was Galadriel, greatest of Elvan women. She was sister of Finrod Felagund, Friend-of-men, once king of Narothrond, who gave his life to save Beren, son of Barahir." There's season one, along with the establishment of Numenor and the first colonies in middle earth, and a few other plot points of whatever flavor you choose. Rhun? Sure! and if anything, that's the worst part of this, you just used it as a place for the hobbits to go, it has no cultural identity, no imagination, you did nothing with it. Compare Dorne or Bravos. Proto hobbits? Sure, if you must. Gandalf? Tolkien definitely says no but as long as you respect the bones, I guess you could have even done that without much damage. That's season one, because that is the story Bezos bought, and this soap opera involving a friendless young galadriel and a mopey Isildur, conflating 3000 years, has nothing to do with it.

    Most of the people complaining about season haven’t read the Silmarillion and the rumors about certain rights not getting written off were blown out way out of proportion. The show cases a lot of canon literature of Tolkien from the second age. Is it just that it’s Amazon and not PJ? That makes sense to me I guess… still people are high to say it’s not well acting, well made, and clearly based on the source material

      it's a highlight real of poorly plagiarised PJ scenes from the film trilogy. you cannot seriously be a reader of anything Tolkien if you have watched this show and says it bears any resemblence. barely any of this themes, cultural details, story arcs or time lines survive the onslaught of this show. if you removed the names, it'd be extremely difficult to tell that this had anything to do with Lord of the Rings

      @@RTDKRunner have you read the Silmarillion?? There’s a lot in this show from there 😅 also yes just because I have an opinion on adaptation, I clearly haven’t read the books… lol the various copies of my Tolkien say otherwise. And Tolkien himself was concerned about people getting wrapped in the lore and not having fun with it. Look it up.

      @@raytherubio there are random snippets rearranged and twisted beyond recognition from mainly the appendices (some of these events happen to be covered also in the Silmarillion). These guys don't even understand the basic nature of Elves or of orcs, of Sauron and his power or the Elven rings and pretty much anything else in this world. Its bad enough they are telling 1600 years of story condensed into a few and adding elements that simply do not exist in this age (I.e. Istari). It is a mockery by dilettantes

      @@Hello_there_obi the RT critics' rating (86% as of today) doesn't depend on the number of episodes released, most reviews that I read are based on the entire season. To me, the new episodes look rather good, I definitely don't see why the showrunners should be replaced.

    It's fine. I remember Fangorn talking about how the Old Forest used to be much larger and include Fangorn Forest. When Entwives were around. It's probaby out of timeline but it's one of the cherished parts of the LotR ... they're doing all the old myths together and it's fine. It is what it is, like it or leave it if it's not your cup of tea.
