The future of Tolkien

“The hosts of this podcast obviously have a love and nuanced understanding of Tolkien and his work. It’s understandable to want to see projects like ROP in the best light possible and to give it every chance. I can also understand why they would want to distance themselves from some of the cruder criticisms of the show that have been ubiquitous on the internet since before the shows release. Personally now that 6 episodes have been released I’ve seen enough to know that it should not really be associated with Tolkien’s name in anyway. The lore breaking may be the least of ROP’s sins. The lack of attention to details pertaining to plot and character and timing are where the series goes most astray in my opinion. These details were the bedrock of Tolkien’s writing. The creators of ROP can only be blamed for thinking they could do this without many years of deep thought and hard work in the writing room. ROP is what you get with little time and a lot of money. I hope that the hosts will consider turning a more critical eye to ROP because if the community of Tolkien lovers settles for an adaptation of this caliber then that’s all we’ll get in the future.”

“Already a big fan of The Prancing Pony Podcast, I am more than happy to listen to these two hosts dive more into the upcoming Amazon show. Hesitant as I am about anything LOTR related I am glad these two who have studied a lot of Tolkien works to end some enlightenment to how it ties together.”

“Big Tolkien fan here. I was loving the pod at first, especially their dives into the underlying Tolkien lore and how the show builds off and incorporates the source material. Each of the hosts brings a really unique perspective. But in the last two episodes, they (and Alan especially) have wasted...”Read full review »
