I’m not giving opinions. I’m not projecting my consumer enjoyment onto the craft.
They are an abusive relationship. CGI was okay, sets were great, music was okay, practical effects were meh, costumes were worse than Spirit Halloween. Compositing was okay.
But the biggest point of quality, and most important thing to discuss, is the script. And considering the bad guy’s plan for the sword and the key could have been solved easier with an Orc and a hammer. I wouldn’t know where to start with how terrible everything is written. Remember the scene where Elrond said he wasn’t there spying, then was caught spying, said he wasn’t spying, and Durin believed him?
Rings Of Power Season Finale
HOW IF CHRISTOPHER TOLKIEN MADE BOOKS ABOUT IT?! (The second age since you probably don’t understand since you are now raging like a baboon and spam typing oh and it’s call the scouring) Which is why I quoted the materials you failed to mention that amazon didn’t either? 🤔 I mean if I’d like the movies wouldn’t I also like the tv series since mentioned cut materials? 🤷🏽 But yet I sourced the books?! Ya you don’t know me and you didn’t even read what I wrote, not surprising since your praising amazon and the films for ruining Tolkiens work 🙄 you are the one who assumes and you shouldn’t enjoy these garbage adaptations even peters jacksons because J.R.R Tolkien didn’t and so did his son Christopher 😐
Evil can not create, only corrupt. Numenorians jealous of the elves immortality and swayed by Sauron? Nah they just racist cuz elves took er jobs! Galadrial being a powerful sorcerer, wise ruler and courtesan? Nah gotta be a warrior with a big sword.
This stuff has to reflect the world we live in today! Sure it may be hamfisted messages about “current year politics”, and deciding that the only way women can be powerful is by being shitty knockoff offs of masculine heros with added shitty personality but that’s all good stuff!
Like I’ve said before, the shadow of war and mordor games were more faithful to tolkeins lore despite them saying it was a fanfic “what if” deal.

I forgot about that!
Remember that the Numenorians were getting riled up because elves would take their jobs. When there was only one elf… Who wouldn’t stop talking about how she wants a ship to leave immediately…
Are you agreeing or disagreeing? If your agreeing that is good because even if it reflects our time it dose not because the author himself and son do not agree with adaptations because they do not represent the message they intended except for what Amazon is selling so it is a big deal
Oh I’m saying it’s shit and anyone that thinks “re-imagining for a modern audience” is a good thing is fucked in the head. The classics are classic for a reason, they are timeless because they deal with struggles of the common person through out the ages or they are simply escapism to a fantasy world with no reflection on the current/real one.
All this re imagining or adapting to MODERN audiences fails because it’s all ham fisted attempts that don’t land at all.
Tolkein used inspiration from our world and his faith yes, but lord of the rings didn’t reflect our world it was simply fantasy and about good over coming evil.

Lol 😂 ya I thought Amazon spent billions of dollars? if it wasn’t on costumes I hope it wasn’t writers lol 😂
It had to have gone to sets, because some of those actually look very good. Like the dwarven location. Nothing else was done with the money.

The majority of this show was boring as all hell and it’s a shame because I was expecting better. Fuck the harffoots, they’re the absolute worst pieces of shit in the show.

Ok I can see what you mean now, thanks to some some articles I found instead of watching this Gosh forsaken series and waste 12 hours of my life, the show can still be saved or at least get to the juicy parts like Sauron waging war with the elves after he makes the One Ring, Humbling of Sauron, Fall of Numenor and Battle of the Last Alliance, now if they do that then it would be great and season 1 can be a forgotten memory
Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. - Galadriel
When creating the series they signed off of 6 seasons so they had proper time in pre prod so could be they saving lots for the future seasons. Who knows.
