Alrighty then…
I watched Episode 5 of the Rings of Power.
There is so much wrong in this episode I don’t even know where to start!
- Mithril is not a melted Silmaril. The Silmarilli cannot be destroyed.
- Galadriel is wearing the sigil for the House of Feanor. She is not of that house. She is of the House of Finarfin.
- Tar-Miriel never went to Middle Earth. In fact, when Ar-Pharazon goes to Middle Earth, by this time, he has forced Tar-Miriel into marriage and usurped the throne of Numenor. She is supposed to be Queen Regnant, not Queen Regent.
I could go on further, but this episode has me even more furious at how they have destroyed the legendarium.

Elrond stealing the table is the best part.

I’ll admit, I haven’t yet read the Silmarillion, but how the fuck can you fuck up a legendarium with such abundant source material?!! Like, Tolkien quite literally left us the equivalent of a guidebook…

@WillowDarklingSheer Unbridled Hubris.
Hollywood writers seem to think they can be Tolkien but fail. It’s a a bad fanfiction based on something they don’t even have the rights to but think they can anyway.
They’ll say things that come off fantasy-ish to a normal viewer but to the rest of us the character seems a bit stunted? Episode 5 pretty much cements galadriel knows she’s evil like a rabid dog chasing a car. And despite that the Harfoots are worse than orcs. Which makes it seem like Sauron is the one protecting the demonic critters personally.
@DemonGoddesshit the nail on the head. Durin and company are unironically the best part of the show. The sole flickering light of it even.
