But the thing is, Rings of Power is incredibly fun, because it completely ignores source, steals just enough character names & places to get Lord of the Rings fans excited, but it’s not boring. Lord of the Rings is about thousands of pages of walking.
Galadriel is a WOMAN and therefore according to Professor Tolkien is useless. Show makes her the one badass in Middle Earth.
I did hate the not-yet-Hobbits, that was not a good invention.

I have friends who are big time LOTR fans who absolutely hate it and didn’t get past the first couple of episodes.
Me - who has no context around the whole thing - found it kinda entertaining :/
I can see how it could be entertaining. Much like watching a train wreck. But “fun” is taking it a bit too far.
