“taking liberties with the lore” ah … so that’s why there’s a beardless black dwarf and elf of colour …

I mean ffs.
It’s an episodic format, so you’re not constraint by time like a movie is.
As such you can show us every single event that is a good plot/story.
And then you decide … “nah, we are ‘better’ than Tolkien at writing lore so we’re going to rewrite it”
The guy wrote almost literal bibles just to tell a short story … and they chose to ignore all of that?

I’ve got so many bad feelings about this show now.
It’s “wheel of time” all over again …
