TELLING THE LOTR FANDOM TO TOUCH GRASS - My thoughts on Rings of Power, the best show of 2024

[@a.k.1283]

Big thumbs up. 🎉 I really enjoyed watching the series and didn't think there was much implausible stuff. Doing rpg quite a lot, maybe I'm more used to taking (at least) little liberties with established story arches than many people but actually Tolkien left quite some holes and mentioned a lot of things just in passing, without devoting much space to their description. The writers of the show did their homework, I think, and even if you don't have to love every bit of dialogue (but just consider for a second what you might sound like if you were born in 11th Cent. England) , most things are possible within "canon". And what do legends give about exact timelines?! ❤

Rings of Power is a small and effective test to test the stupidity and mediocrity of the viewer. The level of writing is minimal and the series is built on polarizing hate baiting done to compensate with controversy for what the quality of the script is not going to provide. The few who defend it are neither aware of the very low criteria they have nor the profound ignorance about Tolkien's work that they carry. A work of non-existent quality made to touch the emotions of simple, easily impressionable people and that demonstrate with its simplicity that Tolkien, for such kind of people is daisies just for pigs. And then, aside, all that stuff about racism, black elves, beardless dwarfs, etc. is a controversy inserted on purpose so that people of very low intellectual level get lost in sterile debates that do not allow them to see reality: they are simple beings, with simple thinking, without deep and soulless.

@@blackseed68 I mean that’s fair and valid, but I think there’s a difference between saying you personally didn’t like it and “this thing is objectively bad and everyone who likes it is dumb.” Like one of those things is an opinion and the other is straight dismissal
