Ring of Power is just generic D&D.
There is nothing Tolkienish about this show.

I had no idea that they hadn’t bought the rights to The Silmarillion. Pennywise and pound foolish. What is the point of making stuff up when what people want are the stories of the Silmarillon.

I won’t be watching.

I agree that the way the elves are portrayed is it’s biggest weakness. The black elf is as stupid as making a movie about African tribes and making some characters white.

The elves are a race, not a nation. And it is even mentioned that it is almost unheard of for them to date outside their race.

Humans, absolutely could be any race. Maybe... dwarves and even hobbit-type creatures, but not elves set apart.

Jackson’s mashup was bad enough. I will affirmatively avoid this one.

"...I watched the first two episodes.

It’s okay so far and way too early to form much of a judgment about the series as they are still setting up the story line....."

Two episodes was 4x what I needed to recognize it as Wokester indoctrination propaganda and switch it off.

Going by the advertisements, I’m touching that garbage with a ten foot pole.

This review is crap. The story is FICTION. Who cares if it follows Tolkien verbatim? It tells a story in the genre. You want authentic Tolkien? Read his books.
Blinded by her need to confront and end Sauron, she puts the lives of elves under her command at risk. Galadriel, who is of noble lineage, is ambitious, not stupid.
Her squad of elves is chasing a supremely evil character. Their lives are at risk by definition. Who wrote this crap? a coddled millennial missing his “safe space”? While not the best fantasy I’ve ever seen, I found it entertaining and definitely more in the spirit of Tolkien than the Hobbit movie’s amusement park ride and orc vendetta.

Don’t we have enough shopping networks?

I’m not sure it’s a good idea to buy rings from tv shows.

You could end up getting glass.

I’m a LOTR fanatic. I liked it and can’t wait until the next episode comes out.

Here is a video meme on Lord of the Rings that is funny.

Jeff Bezos wants Games of Thrones violence and nudity.
