First.

Looks to be a few flashbacks what with the image of the two trees.. I wonder if we'll get a glimpse of Morgoth/Melkor

Im sure they will show Morgoth in a prologue/ flashbacks

Im looking forward to seeing in what capacity they show
Celebrimbor
Tom Bombadil
The Witch King

Live thread for something 6 months away? Did you turn up a day early to your premature ejaculators support group?

This should be good though looking forward to it. Witch king back story will be interesting, I don’t know much about what they are doing but love LOTR, probably the best trilogy around (sorry star wars).

Would like to see more of the Moria stuff, dwarfs finding that demon, best part of the first movie was the journey through Moria.

The books are all you need.

I had a Ruby Murray yesterday and a few pints of Guinness last night. I had the ring of power earlier

Something like that. He gets captured by the Numenoreans who get deceived by his guise as an elf.

Why are all the comments below the vid in Russian

Yeh that is weird.
Plenty of bots about

Ooooh, a LOTR thread..

I think it looks interesting.

Can anyone tell me why the show is getting backlash? I'm not deep into the tolkien lore but surely they can't have changed much?

Essentially, there is too much creative licence for the Tolkien lore homeboys.

Not massively into the lore either but the two criticisms I have seen is one elf has short shaved hair when all elves have the opposite, and a female dwarve looks just like a regular human but shrunk when they're supposed to be identical to male dwarves (including beards) but slightly more feminine.

Probably doesn't help that both of those two characters are black, so racists are jumping on the bandwagon.

I have read some complaining about the ethnicity of one of the elves and personally, It doesn't bother me at all.
