To be honest, most of the way I pronounce names and places from Tolkien comes from either the movies or conversing with Formendacil over the years. :p I have no idea if it's right, but in my own... |

I haven't watched the whole video yet, but I agree with the video title. It makes The Hobbit look good :p. That's not really a compliment. Season 2 Rings of Power is a better story than this. ... |

Just a minor note before getting into some more details when I have time. Overall, Season 2 was a noticeable improvement over Season 1. I'd say mostly it is because of Celebrimbor and Annatar's... |

Is Gimilkhad mentioned in material that Amazon has access to? I don't think he's named in the LOTR Appendices, which would be the one place I can think of where he might be mentioned. I think in... |

I agree here...Isildur is probably one of the weakest parts of the show. It has nothing to do with the actor, but both Isildur and Theo's characters I just don't care about and are the most boring... |

Middle-earth Misconceptions
This idea came up while I've been doing some prep for my Lord of the Rings DnD campaign. (Which if acceptable, I might post a campaign diary on the forums - maybe in Middle-earth Mirth? Mithadan?) I... |
