@itsbreabird: Replying to @rori_winchester how can I enjoy rings of power and not peter jackson’s adaptation of the hobbit? #tolkientok #ringsofpower #tolkientok #thelordoftherings #thelordoftherings #thehobbit
ROP is wonderful, and the second season was much improved on an ambitious first season. I don’t get the ROP hate, it’s more content that’s done by people who really care about the story. Cont’d

Once the hobbit became 3 movies it was done for. The book isn’t that long, they had to invent stuff to fill time

Hobbit “trilogy” should have been a smaller charming movie like the book. imho

ROP feels like people who genuinely love the story playing with filling in gaps of unwritten lore and exploring related themes. It’s a creative endeavor. The Hobbit movies were just a cash grab.

Also worth noting: ROP has a direct relationship with the Tolkien Estate (the people tasked with protecting Tolkien’s legacy). Peter Jackson & Co. did not have that.

The Hobbit did Radagast dirty. That is all.

I loved Rings of Power, I don't care what anyone says! Also, I enjoyed the first Hobbit film but the second and especially the third one were way too much for me.

The PJ Hobbit movies hopped on a plane for a permanent vacation and left the source material at home 😂

I liked the hobbit trilogy well enough but it was a step down from the LOTR trilogy. The main problem with it is that they took what should've been 1 movie and stretched it into 3. That and the CGI.

I feel that ROP is one of the most thematically rich adaptations so far. It has some big errors in execution, but it makes me more interested in middle-earth as a whole than any of PJ’s films.

I’m still confused by the introduction of Gandalf this early in the Rings of Power, but I loved the the introduction of Tom and their interactions. But it’s fan fiction basically.

also, it's just a better-told story.

My main frustration is… LotR books could have been more movies ( arguably ) and I understand why they weren’t. Peter Jackson struggled to have the movies made. But The Hobbit most definitely did NOT need 3 movies 🤣. I do like some scenes in The Hobbit but it’s not my fave. And I love the money it brought to New Zealand

You have also said before that Rings of Power did not have the rights to use the Silmarillion in its particulars.

I wish the movie executives would have let The Hobbit movies be their own thing as the first director had planned, but instead they pushed in Jackson at the last minute with orders to make LotR 2.

one of the things that some criticize is Galadriel's character being so different to LOTR. but to me that only shows her Journey and how she becomes the wise one we know. it just makes sense

I just really didn't like the romantic involvement of Galadriel and Elrond. otherwise I love ROP

The Hobbit movies are great movies in their own right but... Odd how LOTR extended is the best movie adaptation of a book & Hobbit movies are the WORST.

Uriah Bennett :
My beefs were 1) it should have only been 1 movie. Even if it was LOTR long. Fine. 3 movies was too many. And 2) it was too dark. It’s not the same story as LOTR, the Hobbit is whimsical.

1. I found the 'feel' of Hobbit trilogy to be a bit too silly, but I enjoyed some of it.
2. I thought things like the White Council were included bc that was the only opportunity to get them on screen

when you say they don't have access to the material do you mean they aren't allowed to pull from it? cause I feel like I've seen a lot of people pointing out timeline issues

I was also disappointed by the Hobbit movies because I expected the same quality as LOTR, and they didn't come close.

I liked some & not all. Love Tauriel, not the love triangle. RoP clumsy at times(sea is always right), masterful at others (🧝banner speech).
