About the original trilogy, IMHO Bombadill is the weakest portion of Fellowship. I can accept Jackson cutting it. But "Scouring of the Shire" is vitally important. He cut this too. I think it's because they wanted a hollywood ending and not the bittersweet and deeper ending.

@Enrico_sw @Matt! CPPR Finally revealed their expansion. Hopefully this is the beginning of their redemption arc:

was it good?

Maybe he is just another character. I take back the Hobbits comment, this show probably depicts their 'pre-civilized' form. The Hobbits were Tolkein's stand-in for British country people. Sam was based on Tolkein's skillful batman when he was a Signals officer in World War 1.

I heard of the complaint that the actors don't have enough charisma. Same thing with HoD being no where as good there as GOT. I think they got some of the tone correct from what little I've seen. The Silmarillion is written in a remarkably mythological and even religious style. I don't like their new design for the hobbits. They look too much like homeless people lol. "Meteor Man" seems to be a servant of God (Maiar). Maiar | The One Wiki to Rule Them All | Fandom In Tolkien that's what Gandolf, Saruman and the other wizards are. They are sent to earth, from heaven to guide the beings there. Do you think the stranger is Gandolf or even Saruman as many in the fandom think he is?

I made my first practice video. It took approx. 3 days of work to get to that state.

what do you think of Rings of Power? House of the Dragon is meant to be a much shorter story. There are only two books, one is unwritten. I know that Fire and blood book 1 is not entirely written by GRRM. It was written by him plus the help of some other writers. Frankly this and the extreme delay with the main series gives the impression that he is short on good ideas. Maybe he exhausted all of his best ideas in the GOT books. Yea the iconic characters of GOT really make it what it is. They have a lot of charisma. Did you know that Samwell Tarly is GRRM (he admitted it in an interview)? Also GRRM's favorite character is Tyrion (which is probably the best character TBH). In the GOT audiobook, I am up to the part where Tyrion and Bronn team up and leave Cat Stark, and come across the Stone Crows.

@Matt!

episode 3 has very good production values.

The actress that plays her is classically beautiful (M-Clark). She looks like the type of woman that would be a goddess for artists prior to the 20th century. I am OK with Amazon making their own story. The unpublished Tolkein stories/history/lore was unpublished for a reason- it was unfinished. So he didn't really have a real story for Galadriel in the first place. All these stories/notes were put together by his son, Chris Tolkien and published decades later. I see the critics of Amazon saying that they are ruining Tolkein- doesn't make sense to me. To ruin something means that there was a detailed story in the first place LOL.

I noticed that there are a lot of attacks on the show on social media (particularly on youtube, this has been going on for a year), because it was made by Amazon, is based on appendices/Silmarillion and it has woke casting. There isn't much about pre-LOTR Galadriel in Tolkein's Silmarillion. It's basically a fantasy-history/lore book, and rather choppy/disjointed at that. She was a sort of demi-goddess. I don't recall anything about her wearing Aragorn's outfit and being an adventurer lol. She was more of a political leader. I haven't had a chance to watch the episodes yet but it looks like they got the Golden age/decline of the elves rather right. In Tolkein's universe, in the prehistory Elves were superhuman/higher beings that lived well. But they declined, in part due to the wars. By the time of the Hobbit/LOTR the elves are already very declined, and Galadriel is passive and leaving middle earth.

yes! and thanks!
