I don't know. I remember seeing message boards when the films came out. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 18/09/2024 03:10:06 AM

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* Ghavrel - 17/09/2024 02:34:30 AM 120 Views

two things can be true damookster - 18/09/2024 03:34:20 PM 239 Views

He changed "a few" things? Ghavrel - 20/09/2024 11:23:02 AM 231 Views
Also there should have been a Tom Bombadil scene *NM* Ghavrel - 20/09/2024 11:24:51 AM 129 Views
It is possible for a person to dislike this show and not care about sex or race of the characters. The Shrike - 23/09/2024 05:43:44 PM 214 Views
Yes, and not everyone who dislikes the show dislikes it for those reasons. Ghavrel - 24/09/2024 01:05:46 AM 229 Views
I think Peter Jackson & co. actually liked LotR aerocontrols - 17/09/2024 02:57:08 PM 239 Views
Yes, this. Cannoli - 17/09/2024 10:39:27 PM 238 Views
I agree, mostly. But the complaint here was that it is foolish to change any of the writing. Ghavrel - 18/09/2024 03:08:45 AM 232 Views
I just rewatched the last two Hobbit movies - those are sort of inbetween I guess. Legolas - 18/09/2024 09:01:01 PM 240 Views
Exactly my point. It's not about the canon. The films get the canon wrong left and right, too. Ghavrel - 20/09/2024 11:26:00 AM 204 Views
That's not what I meant precisely - for me the canon is still important. Legolas - 20/09/2024 06:44:10 PM 227 Views

Why did I not notice you post this on 'The Silmarillion' day of the 15, Sept ? *NM* Roland00 - 19/09/2024 10:45:42 PM 161 Views
Because this show is about as relevant to the Silmarilion as NAMBLA is to Gay Pride? *NM* Cannoli - 20/09/2024 04:59:28 PM 117 Views
Rude metaphor, here is Bryan Cogman who “consulted” for 20 weeks on Lore Roland00 - 20/09/2024 06:50:53 PM 294 Views
I don't get points for tacitly making a distinction between pedo & gay? Cannoli - 20/09/2024 10:42:07 PM 256 Views
