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.”

“it’s just a shame that it’s turning into a bit of a sarcasm-fest. I love the information and discussion. Maybe a bit less of the jokes and reference to other “franchises”.”

“The upcoming Amazon show offers promise and concern. These guys, in the early episodes at least, seem to have the balance just about right. From what I have heard, I expect them to remain fair when the show reaches our screens later this year.”
