Yes, and not everyone who dislikes the show dislikes it for those reasons. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 24/09/2024 01:05:46 AM

But those reasons get tossed about a lot on this site.

I agree that the "Stranger" storyline should have been cut in its entirety (I was hoping against hope that it was going to turn out to be Saruman, given his interest in control, but the "some who die deserve life" seems to have clinched it). And you aren't wrong that the show isn't paying attention to the SILMARILLION, but they can't pay attention to anything that isn't in the LOTR appendices. They don't have the rights to the SILMARILLION. That's one of the reasons this is such a mess of a show.

Agreed with you 100% about Disa. Incredible character. I only wish she had a fuller beard.

...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 62 Views

I don't know. I remember seeing message boards when the films came out. Ghavrel - 18/09/2024 03:10:06 AM 103 Views
two things can be true damookster - 18/09/2024 03:34:20 PM 112 Views

He changed "a few" things? Ghavrel - 20/09/2024 11:23:02 AM 96 Views
Also there should have been a Tom Bombadil scene *NM* Ghavrel - 20/09/2024 11:24:51 AM 54 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 108 Views

I think Peter Jackson & co. actually liked LotR aerocontrols - 17/09/2024 02:57:08 PM 115 Views
Yes, this. Cannoli - 17/09/2024 10:39:27 PM 111 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 104 Views
I just rewatched the last two Hobbit movies - those are sort of inbetween I guess. Legolas - 18/09/2024 09:01:01 PM 111 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 98 Views
That's not what I meant precisely - for me the canon is still important. Legolas - 20/09/2024 06:44:10 PM 116 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 51 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 57 Views
Rude metaphor, here is Bryan Cogman who “consulted” for 20 weeks on Lore Roland00 - 20/09/2024 06:50:53 PM 111 Views
I don't get points for tacitly making a distinction between pedo & gay? Cannoli - 20/09/2024 10:42:07 PM 152 Views
