Lord of the Rings on Prime Updates (Thanks Varking!)

I thought it made apparently cogent comments, but since I haven't seen the episodes, can't judge them. Hence my question.

Haven't watched either. Glad I am not alone.

I'm not going to either. I'm tired of giving my money to things I don't like and who's producers seemingly don't like me either.

 

[Elbereth Vala Varda]

Honestly I am not sure if I would watch but I don't have that option. All the better, I will just stick to the books until any further advancements.

Here's another Forbes article, contrasting RoP with PJ:

Amazon’s ‘Rings Of Power’ Is A Poignant Reminder Of The Perfection Of ‘The Lord Of The Rings’ Trilogy

Amazon’s ‘Rings of Power’ makes a great excuse to rewatch Peter Jackson’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy, just one more time.

"Perfection"?

Even if one DOESN'T look at it as an adaptation, The Two Towers has serious issues. Why would going to a defensive fortification when outnumbered be considered bad military policy? Why don't "the Shepherds of the Trees" know their flocks are being slaughtered? How on earth did the Elves bypass the Uruk-Hai army on their way to Helm's Deep?

There are a lot more "whys" than those. Maybe, when RoP is over, we can tot them all up, and see who comes out "ahead". 😃

↑ Remember when Varking used to post here? Instead, most all we seem to get here is this crap ↓

Suggestion - If you enjoyed the manner in which Varking did things (whoever he/she may have been), maybe you can step into the role and post similar types of stuff to 'fill the gaps' ??

If it was good stuff, I'm all eyes, ears, branches and twigs...

I don't know if there is any real comparison. If so, how do you judge them? What measures superiority? What denotes criteria?

Nothing that is modernly created in 'creative inspiration' of Tolkien's works will ever compare to the literary genius of Tolkien, true Tolkien. At least in my mind.

I was just reminiscing and making an observation. We interact and discuss the Rings of Power series elsewhere. I'll see myself out.
