My read is this will be a generic fantasy show with the Tolkien label slapped onto it. This is Bezos attempt at emulating HBO's success with Game of Thrones, nothing more. An utter disaster that...

Looking at the casting, the majority of characters are OCs. I am absolutely convinced this will be nothing close to Tolkien’s work in either theme or story.

My guess is it will be a generic...

Anyway, I'm curious as to what aspects of the S.A., they'll emphasize whether the wars of Eregion or...

If they want a GOT political intrigue story-at least partially, the downfall of Numenor would be one of the best periods and places to do it.

You could have conflict between the king's men and the...

If the show isn't about Aragorn, I wonder what it could possibly be about.

My question would then be how exactly are they planning on marketing that? The PR speak is going to be glorious in how inane it is, "we respect Tolkien's lore and detail, for creativity sake, we are...

They have the rights to the Hobbit and LOTR and the appendices. They don't have the right to the Silmarillion or the unfinished tales or the HoME.

As for compressing the history, they must know...

Regarding the young Aragorn point-the appendices do give some material to work with.

My attitude towards this is cautious neutrality-if it turns out to be good and faithful both the lore and...
