Ringshit was never a thing for me, so I don't know nerd-depth lore or whether they're raping it. For this one, I get to be a normie.
It looks mid. Great visuals, but really bloated. The trailer has like 3x as many characters as it ought to and that makes me not care about any of them. Elrond has a face that should make incels feel good about themselves. The black dwarf chick is in the uncanny valley because she looks like she was made on a PC for a PS3 game.
But it's got all of the stuff we all want, like orcs and elves and ents and fireballs flying through the air, so that's pretty cool. I look forward to people posting lore complants all season.

The problem with season 1 wasn't the "lore deviations" (which there are a ton lmao), the show was just bad
!kino check the second vid

Is the second vid from S2? I've seen the first one while watching up to four or so episodes of the first season. It was so r-slurred, even without the idpol DEI nonsense.

No, it's from S1. She trains the Númenórean young soldiers.
The Númenóreans were supposed to be a race of 7ft-8ft tall superhumans but the elvish girlboss has to have a badass moment kicking their asses.

Ah, again the shitty acting really killed the show for me. It's like they get lazy because they overfilled their minority quota.

Even worse when you think about it. At the height of their power, they represented a force strong enough that the Valar (the powers that ran the world for you non-Tolkien readers) felt scared enough that they gave up their guardianship of the world back to GOD in order for him to deal with it. But you know, girlboss elf is more important.

It does look good, but part of the problem is that the trailers show great looking scenes so you expect this will be really important, then in the show we get to see them for about thirty seconds before they start in on more tedious "gimme a boat/no/okay I'm going home/we won't let you/okay now you can have a boat/no I don't wanna go I wanna stay now" shit.
