Glorfindel would have required as you said a vast cinematic universe of LOTR of multiple movies. Since he’s the only elf to essentialy be upgraded to maia after slaying a balrog no less.

I can see why peter jackson had to cut certain things, the one I’m grateful for is no tom bombadil.

That said the movies are light years of this bad abomination. I’d call it fanfiction but fans actually love the world.

Brandywine to Bree could easily have been a movie – think they could’ve made Tom Bombadil a good tale.  Ditto for Bree to Rivendell.  However, I suspect the actors might’ve objected to a 12 movie commitment (aside from the niceties of job security).

Also fun to consider the other roles the actors had.  Sam is also Mikey from the Goonies.  Bolomir is Ned Stark.  And Elrond...Elrond… had a tough time on my first viewing separating him from the Matrix

Omg halfway through the season and they finally did a decent scene! Its a miracle… I mean aside from hitting rock bottom and finding a basement beneath but hey whose counting?
