This is a bad mischaracterization. The showrunners have said many other things in interviews and articles praising Tolkien and treating the world with deep respect. They never said they think they know better than Tolkien. Your perspective and post is very inaccurate in all fairness. I don’t...

They have requested and can be given approval from the Tolkien Estate if it’s needed. That’s why we are seeing so much First Age and Silmarillion material like the Oath of Fëanor. It makes sense since these are pivotal moments in the narrative. How can you set the stage for the current era of...

It seems like the tide is slowly changing with more info and images. The orcs are almost universally loved as well as Gil-galad. The leak was okay since it was Brazilian it was in Portuguese and the quality wasn’t the best. Hoping we get a ton of promotional images, concept art and details at...

Get ready for an awesome teaser tomorrow for Rings of Power. I saw it leaked already last week and it really feels like this show will visually at least be on right track. For now here is a poster of Adar the elf being set up. He’s likely a Noldo if rumors are true. Possibly a Noldorin prince...

There is no pure OT. Star Wars has always been a convoluted mess of contrivances held together with special effects and action set pieces. Haven’t you heard of the ANH ESB purists? To them they don’t believe in episode numbers because PT started that and ANH is just called Star Wars. They don’t...

Hate also kept Vader alive. Sorry you don’t like the explanation but dark siders surviving lethal injuries has been around forever. Look up Darth Sion too who has been so deconstructed over time from injuries that his body is only held together by his will and the force.

What are you talking about? ANH already presented him as a sorcerer and enforcer through dialogue and actions. A master negotiator and tactician? He only speaks in the Death Star meeting because he has to provide retorts about the force when he feels insulted and then chokes an officer. Of...

We’ve seen this baseball player just hit a home run. Why can’t he hit another one? The Jedi cell phone contrivances are annoying that’s for sure. And yes lightsaber impalement seems fine as long as you’re a dark sider apparently. Though some speculate Reva was impaled by Anakin during...

As long as they come with old young uncanny alternate heads.

I just paid my invoice for Alterego. Hope it ships soon. I have the SS version so I can’t wait to compare them in hand. Also got the arriving soon notice for Ahsoka from Alterego so she shouldn’t be far off!

Movie inconsistency in the OT say it ain’t so! 😅

I’m a huge Tolkien nerd lol! But my favorite period is the Second Age, especially the point from Eregion’s founding in 750 to the war of the elves and Sauron in 1693. It’s a fascinating time with the dwarves of Khazad-dum and the elves of Eregion under Celebrimbor having the greatest...

Yeah it is different, however lore wise the Last Alliance forged new armor at Rivendell for three years. Why they transitioned from plate to lamellar looking cuirass is the real question. Maybe due to the loss of Eregion which was a major smithery for the elves? Rivendell by comparison was just...

Sorry I have trouble multi-quoting, see above post #3341.

Do you mean the existence of plate armor or the design/quality? Gondor had plate armor in TTT/ROTK films despite mail armor being the most described in the books.

To be fair those are not the same showrunners and the budget and talent is way different. I always stay open minded for new things and yes some aspects are concerning but it is an adaption. Even the most beloved PJ trilogy has so many glaring omissions, invented subplots and inaccuracies. I’ll...

Got my preorder in right before I went to bed last night. I also had a small amount of reward points so it ended up being a little less. Now the wait.

It’s now or never!

The belt should really be more off white than yellow. More like Gandalf the White, which makes sense since he got his clothes and staff from Lothlorien. I’m thinking could add a wash maybe to make it look closer.

Exactly. I have defended Asmus thick and thin with a healthy dose of criticism when warranted. I wanted Old Bilbo but I don’t care for the stern expression and I need to be more selective in collecting due to space and practicality. It’s a matter of quality and what Asmus wants to be since the...
