Yeah, apparently the Tolkien purists are not happy about this show, like at all.

I’m not a Tolkien purist per se but hearing about the caring orc families really turns me off from wanting to start this. I mean, orcs are just kind of grown from the ground for the sole purpose of fighting and destruction right? Do we really need or even want to empathize with them or care about them as individuals?
I’m sure I’ll get around to this eventually but man it just sucks that I don’t feel excited about it. |

The Galadriel casting I don’t mind. And maybe I’m on an island here. But the portrayal of Elrond pisses me off. PJ’s LOTR are forever how the characters will be viewed. And to have him with short curly hair has never felt right

I don't like much about this. The dialogue just always seems forced. I don't know how to explain it, but every single interaction seems amateur. It's weird, because I really liked season one, but this season is idk.

Celebrimbor accidentally shattering a bottle of red wine from the first age while Annatar reveals his true form for the first time is beautiful scene setting.
And The One Ring theme is so ****ing amazing. What a great ****ing show. |
