@itsbreabird: Replying to @ABJ Glassworks rings of power, the lord of the rings movies, i wish we could all just enjoy them for what they are #peterjackson #lordoftherings #ringsofpower #thelordoftherings #tolkientok
Tom Bombadil is a departure from just about every other character in the world, but we accept it as part of the experience as a whole

I absolutely love TROP. It’s really reverent fan fiction in my opinion. The show admitted up front it was going to stray in some ways, and the source material isn’t the full story anyway.

Yea 100%. I loved the films but they are very far departed from the books. Like one pet peeve is giving all the best quotes to the wrong characters.

Like Aragorn is very different in the PJ movies vs in the books… but both versions work well in their respective medium

It’s ok to love them all! Tolkien, PJ and ROP. They all bring middle earth to life in their own ways

And don’t come in here saying PJs films were a ‘love letter to Tolkien” and “ROP is a bastardized version of his work”. I’m tired, y’all. Be kind or get blocked.

i keep seeing ppl say it doesn't "look" Tolkien like the PJ films... films that had the advantage of having lead artist who illustrated most books 'purists' have read,so OF COURSE it seems authentic

Heck, you could argue that the hobbit and parts of unfinished tales were drastic departure from Lord of the rings, and they were all written by Tolken himself

Apparently, Legolas should have dark hair! And yet, in the movies……!

I like both. But the books are still better. But no media will ever be able to capture it.

im curious, what did you think about the SPOILERS!!!!!! eagle arriving at Numenor and not uttering a word? if i recall, they can talk. i enjoy ROP, but i think this was a little weak

My friend hates on it because they say it's not like Tolkien (like actually Tolkien's works ehich they have read), but they haven't read them in ages so I feel like they're having a selective memory

I love LOTR so much but I didn’t even get through the first series of ROP it was so disappointing

I was reading at a collegiate level by 5th grade but surprisingly never read Tollkien. I am blue collar and don't have the time to read anymore 😒 but intend to in the future (retirement) I will definitely be deep diving ALL of his works. 😊 Much thanks to you 😊

Most of the people I talk to who hate rings of power hate the diversity, full stop. I embrace the diversity we are seeing and all are welcome in the fantasy genre.

We’ve lost the art of analysis when we get caught up in our feelings. We should be asking what details inspired the artistic choices, what themes-ideas-parallels-mythologies & medieval/ancient arts.

I love both and there is nothing wrong with loving both. They are both adaptations of an extremely loved piece of work. For ROP though, season 2 is by far better than season 1.

I remember when those same people made Liv Tyler cry during their PJ era griping. They are the ones ruining the community.

I just wish they made Clark's character Celebrian instead of Galadriel. Would fix all the problems I have with her characterization.

Is it ok to say that the writing feels lacking in the show ? The spectacle and material I think are very epic .. but I just feel the depth of what could be achieved is really being missed and I can’t even fully articulate exactly where it just feels off, is that fair?

The second season is better than the first. Nothing will ever be as good as the PJ films. Even if he did those movies over again, he wouldn’t do it as well again. Hard to repeat. IMO 💚
