There were a LOT of angry Tolkien nerds. A LOT. Now, I definitely think the films are infinitely better than the show, but both are pretty removed from the original work. The show is worse because it is more badly written, not because it deviates from the lore.

...what do you think of Jackson's LotR trilogy? There's a whole lot of change going on there. *NM*

It is possible for a person to dislike this show and not care about sex or race of the characters.

Yes, and not everyone who dislikes the show dislikes it for those reasons.

I think Peter Jackson & co. actually liked LotR

I agree, mostly. But the complaint here was that it is foolish to change any of the writing.

I just rewatched the last two Hobbit movies - those are sort of inbetween I guess.

Exactly my point. It's not about the canon. The films get the canon wrong left and right, too.

That's not what I meant precisely - for me the canon is still important.

Why did I not notice you post this on 'The Silmarillion' day of the 15, Sept ? *NM*

Because this show is about as relevant to the Silmarilion as NAMBLA is to Gay Pride? *NM*

I don't get points for tacitly making a distinction between pedo & gay?
