  1.  @reek4062  First, caps is yelling. Please stop yelling. Secondly this show isn't based on Jackson's movies, they're based on Tolkien's books (supposed to be). If they reference the movies at all, they'll be sued. They are desecrating Tolkien's life's work.

  2.  @reek4062  Yes, stuff was changed which was discussed and debated within the fandom at the time. The majority decided that despite the changes, it was the best representation of Tolkien's work that likely will ever be made. Jackson addressed and explained most of the changes that were made with the fandom at the time. Him, staff, and Sir Ian Mckellen all communicated with us via message boards and blogs during production and after release. The books say Faramir interrogates Gollum rather than kill him for fishing in the Frobidden Pool (entrance to Henneth Annun). It's not unreasonable to assume an interrogation would involve some pressure. That's not "abuse" especially since he should be killed as his proper punishment. Faramir may have been wise and kind, but it didn't mean he didn't perform his duty. The Mouth of Sauron scene is only in the extended editions so if they don't have those, that is unknown to them and only a part cut for time (which it was). Frodo sending Sam away (not Sam leaving Frodo) was highly contested along with removing Tom, and not doing the Scouring of the Shire. The last two were removed for times sake and Frodo sending Sam away didn't change what ultimately occurred as a result of entering Cirith Ungol. These are things, that though debated within the fandom, doesn't take away someone's fan card nor does it call for degrading other fans who love the movies simply because someone else disagrees. That's not how this fandom works because just reading and understanding Tolkien's work requires an intelligence that behaving that way, is frankly, beneath us.
