Disappointed
Listened to every episode of the PPP, the Silmarillion season several times, and I absolutely love it. This, I almost can’t listen to anymore. Almost refusing to criticise except a few “cringey” or “that was interesting” bits. The show is written as if by children with no coherency or consistency in stakes in situations or motivation for characters. The same people who praise Tolkien for being a literary genius with his use of language and setting up a rich story chastise the Jackson adaptations for the changes he made(the hobbit was awful), but refuse to criticise RoP no matter how far Amazons writers stray from the core material. Where has the integrity of the Tolkien community gone? What are they scared of? Flat out bad writing, storytelling and often even bad acting is excused as “interesting”. Trying to mash in every single movie/tv-trope or cliche and some characters/places just happen to have names out of Tolkien's appendices. The biggest insult of all is them indirectly saying the only way a female character can be good/cool/well structured is if they have stereotypical male features and cliches. Imagine reading Tolkien and thinking “how can I improve this?” This isn’t adapting. This is ripping the soul out of a great man’s work leaving less of a dead corpse than Fëanor.Read full review »

Thank you. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge with the world, with such great humor and a true sense of wonder that allows you to enjoy the show for what it is, even when they screw with the lore. It’s a joy to listen to the four of you.

This podcast is entertaining and educational. It has helped me enjoy and appreciate The Rings of Power far more, especially on a second viewing.
