We have a new LOTR series called "The Rings of Power" and i think there are many Tolkien fan here including myself, so i would be curious for your opinion.
After 2 episode my first impression is the series is good and bad at same time.
Things what i liked (SPOILER ALERT!!)
-The begining of episode 1 was realy cool. We saw a little insight into the First Age. The War of Wrath was epic when great eagles and some dragons have fought against each other, just like the view of Angband.
-Various landscapes like Valinor, Sundering Seas, Southlands (pre-Gondor and Harad), Forodwaith, Lindon, Eregion, Moria, Rhovanion.
-Hobbit characters act well.
-Mysterious characters like Halbrand, Meteor Man. Sauron is disguised himself so we dont know who is him exactly.
-The music is awesome.
-Atmosphere of the rising evil is really good, for example orc in the house scene, forodwaith castle scene, appearance of Sauron among orcs etc.
Things what i disliked:
-The actor or Gil-galad doesnt look elvish.
-There are not black skinned elves in the canon, its just a woke bullshit.
-The black skinned elf acts very bad, according to the series he fell in love with a human woman, but i have not seen any romance in his cold face, when he is talking with his love.
-According to canon, the dwarfs always hide their wifes and kids, this behavior doesnt exist in this series, just like there is no black skinned dwarf like Disa, another woke stupidism.
-Its laughable when Galadriel jumped into the sea and after that she swam almost the complete Sundering Seas (such big like Atlantic Ocean). Its a joke, i cannot take it seriosly.
-Moria doesnt look correct. Basically its an underground city and we can see natural sunlight everywhere. Its not a gloomy Black Pit what the canon describes.
So in summary, the series is pretty good in general, but it would be much better without the woke influence and some other minor thing.
