Exactly my point. It's not about the canon. The films get the canon wrong left and right, too. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 20/09/2024 11:26:00 AM

The films are good because the screenwriting is good, even when it deviates from the plot and themes of Tolkien.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

...what do you think of Jackson's LotR trilogy? There's a whole lot of change going on there. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/09/2024 02:34:30 AM 30 Views

I don't know. I remember seeing message boards when the films came out. Ghavrel - 18/09/2024 03:10:06 AM 54 Views

It is possible for a person to dislike this show and not care about sex or race of the characters. The Shrike - 23/09/2024 05:43:44 PM 56 Views
Yes, and not everyone who dislikes the show dislikes it for those reasons. Ghavrel - 24/09/2024 01:05:46 AM 53 Views
I think Peter Jackson & co. actually liked LotR aerocontrols - 17/09/2024 02:57:08 PM 65 Views
Yes, this. Cannoli - 17/09/2024 10:39:27 PM 61 Views
I agree, mostly. But the complaint here was that it is foolish to change any of the writing. Ghavrel - 18/09/2024 03:08:45 AM 58 Views
I just rewatched the last two Hobbit movies - those are sort of inbetween I guess. Legolas - 18/09/2024 09:01:01 PM 56 Views

That's not what I meant precisely - for me the canon is still important. Legolas - 20/09/2024 06:44:10 PM 67 Views

Why did I not notice you post this on 'The Silmarillion' day of the 15, Sept ? *NM* Roland00 - 19/09/2024 10:45:42 PM 22 Views
Because this show is about as relevant to the Silmarilion as NAMBLA is to Gay Pride? *NM* Cannoli - 20/09/2024 04:59:28 PM 26 Views
Rude metaphor, here is Bryan Cogman who “consulted” for 20 weeks on Lore Roland00 - 20/09/2024 06:50:53 PM 56 Views
I don't get points for tacitly making a distinction between pedo & gay? Cannoli - 20/09/2024 10:42:07 PM 89 Views
