Huge Tolkien fan, have read LOTR every September for past 25 years (a tradition in my house), read Simarillion about 5 times (have spreadsheets and hand made maps), and poured over appendices before show came out.
Wish it was about Feanor (oh, how I needs that). Expected it to be garbage, was pleasantly surprised that it is pretty good! They are shoving 3500 years of events into a workable narrative, so I am being super forgiving. Missed opportunity not to show or reference the elven kinslaying…a few other things a bit cumbersome in the narrative. But overall, super excited to see more!
Also agree with Ragnarok’s post above. So sick of constant hating on everything from everyone on every side. Just happy to enjoy a new show tbh.
