@Jamesfoxley2 @notesinbetween @NOV7Ui Actually, initially they couldn’t get the rights to those books. Christopher Tolkien wouldn’t allow it. He died in 2020 & they have been allowed some rights from those books on a case by case basis. The names Annatar and Armenelos are only in those books and had to be licensed.

@Crystal27049730 @sjc919191 @RottenTomatoes That’s what they don’t want to tell me. I knew as soon as the first posters came out for season 1 that racists would be the show’s biggest challenge. If it had an all white cast there wouldn’t be near as many complaints.

@Aaron_Decatur @notesinbetween @NOV7Ui They have also been able to get the rights to some 1st age content in a case by case basis.

@SimonBoudreau2 So, have you seen all of the episodes?

[Isaac Barker @TheRealStrider2]

@Jamesfoxley2 @notesinbetween @NOV7Ui You act like there are actual Tolkien books written about the 2nd age. There aren’t. There is a list of events that happen with only scraps of information about those events. ROP is one of Amazon Prime’s most successful shows ever. You are part of a very vocal minority.

@tysonbanan56448 @ibodirector Nolan’s version is more down to earth and he likes practical fx. They shot on location and the size of the walls he used were practical for the Bronze Age. Yes, they don’t match the more mythological versions but for his version they are fine.

[Isaac Barker @TheRealStrider2]

@tysonbanan56448 @ibodirector The walls were comparable to the time period. They didn’t need to make them taller.

@Inquisitormerci @ThaSneezeFest @RachelLeishman No movies are 1:1 adaptations of the books. It’s a directors vision and interpretation of that book. They always deviate from canon. Rings of Power has to deviate because there are only bullet points and a few pages written by Tolkien. There isn’t a completed book by him.

[Isaac Barker @TheRealStrider2]

@tysonbanan56448 @ibodirector They didn’t use ladders to go over the walls in the book so why would they use ladders in the movie?

@paz_edgard12132 @ToIkienverse It’s not woke.

[Isaac Barker @TheRealStrider2]

@ThaSneezeFest @RachelLeishman Why do you care so much to harass people that enjoy it? You don’t watch it. You hate it. Move on with your life. It’s such pathetic behavior.

[Isaac Barker @TheRealStrider2]

@ThaSneezeFest @RachelLeishman Galadriel hates Sauron. She does not want to do anything of the sort. Why make up stuff? The series is covering just about everything Tolkien wrote about the 2nd age.

@GrizzlyKaun @RachelLeishman There isn’t a love triangle. 😂

[Isaac Barker @TheRealStrider2]

@McdonaldJo19761 @RachelLeishman You mean the bullet points and the few pages that Tolkien wrote about the 2nd age. There isn’t that much source to go off of.

[Isaac Barker @TheRealStrider2]

@ThaSneezeFest @RachelLeishman Any movie or show that is a adaptation of the books is non canonical and fan fiction. What’s your point?

[Isaac Barker @TheRealStrider2]

@sjc919191 @RottenTomatoes You guys all give me this same response. You can’t ever answer my question honestly. Maybe it’s because it isn’t woke.

[Isaac Barker @TheRealStrider2]

@weontv123 @RottenTomatoes None of what you said is even remotely true.

[Isaac Barker @TheRealStrider2]

@sjc919191 @RottenTomatoes I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me how this show is woke.

[Isaac Barker @TheRealStrider2]

@Hipsilon2b Yes!!!
