Thoughts on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit?

I might watch The Rings of Power but I’ve heard mixed things on it. What do you all think of it?

Mostly though: I’m hoping that some people here can expand on what I’m reading so far.

'Cause honestly, I do like what I’m reading, I do, and that’s because I genuinely like the mythological tone that the world-building takes. And Numenor as an “Atlantis” is a fine way to do things, but honestly, I doubt they’ll be able to do much with it in whatever Amazon property they decide to make of it (which, I mean, is fine). I wonder if there are other shows or serials besides The Rings of Power that are coming out? Either way: I really like the beginning and how everything started with music and song.

Your thoughts?

    I love Glorfindel! So he has his own story here? NOICE

    And yeah, it seems that the second season fell off the rails.

      Yeah! He’s not a main character in it, iirc, but you get an idea of why the valar favor him. He’s got a bit in the ROTK appendices where he has a battle with the witch king too.

        Noice.

        I loved the convo between Glorfindel and Frodo after the adventure with Tom Bombadil.
