@marcasrealaccount They've intentionally changed the lore to put women in positions of power they don't have in the books or appendices. Their Queen regent Miriel. She's not Queen in the books. Her throne is usurped by her cousin who then forces her to marry him. Because he is already bad, he's much more susceptible to Sauron and he becomes a follower of Melkor (Morgoth who is Sauron's master). This causes the kingdom to split and people to start worshipping evil which directly leads to the fall of Numenor, supposedly what this series is about. Since she's Queen, it changes the entire dynamic of the story and it's already reflecting in the show. Another part is creating a sister for Isildur for no reason. She's already had a scene telling us she's been accepted into a science program. She's not there to move the story forward or explain anything about what's going on. She's just there for strong successful woman and to show that she's clearly better than her brother who is taking a gap year because apparently that's now a thing in Middle Earth now (as are apparently universities ). All completely irrelevant outside of making his nonexistent sister better than the human that cuts the ring from Sauron's finger and to add modern stuff into the most popular fantasy ever written set in a world meant to be the mythology of England. Another subversion is Halbrand. He's from the lands that supported Morgoth, a thief, and is said to have done very bad things. They are intentionally trying to make him sympathetic and likeable. Far more so than Galadriel. They are pushing him into being like an Arragorn He will turn out at the end of this season to be very bad indeed, but you'll sympathize with him by then. The "Harfoots" are particularly nasty subversion. These Hobbits are dirty, gross, and frankly very stupid. The complete opposite of their portrayal in the book. The line from the trailer is "Our hearts are bigger than our feet". Then this episode they talk about how they are a group. They walk on leaving no one behind according to what they are telling you. Then one breaks their leg so they leave him behind to die. They even sing a song listing all the others they have left behind to die which includes a line about how they don't leave anyone behind. Their portrayal is also extremely racists. It's not by coincidence that they have an Irish accent. The good from the books are intentionally being portrayed as if they are really no better than the evil they seek to destroy. It's to destroy the line between what is good and what is bad to the point neither really exists.

@Thor-Orion I can't imagine how. It's like a knife through the heart for Tolkien fans. His son spent his life trying to protect his father's work from these monsters. Seeing them do what him and Tolkien most feared with it is excruciating.

@James James I can not watch it and still say it's bad. Shocking I know. I don't know why people ever give a review or their opinion on anything to anyone else. If that product breaks after the first use, don't tell anyone. Just let them buy it and be another sucker that company conned money out of.

@Thor-Orion It did show us what to expect. Bad writing, cheap costumes, and bad acting. It didn't need to tell us anything about the plot to show us what it was.
