"The most vocal critics of this show are Peter Jackson stans, not Tolkien fans. One thing thatâs brought up to bash ROP is that Amazon didnât consult with PJ. Look I love the films too, but itâs not like they followed âbook canonâ or as if PJ is some authority or Tolkien scholar. RoP has the support of the Tolkien estate, and Simon Tolkien is the series consultant; something PJ never had, btw. Christopher Tolkien actually hated the films."

I saw that Simon Tolkien has a new book coming out, and was suddenly, violently reminded of the time one of his previous ones came into the shop, and my first thought was, "Well, if he's even a fraction as talented as his granda, that should be a good read."
Then my second thought was, "...ah no, I totally just Celebrimbored the poor man." đ
Coming back your way for the RoP ask game! Perhaps number 20, number 26, and number 27 (though I think I know the answer to this one already đ )
Feel free to substitute any that you'd like!
ooooh thanks @permanentlyexhaustedpigeon88 for these!!!
20. Name three of your favorite scenes (or lines, or scenes and lines)
BARN SCENE BARN SCENE BARN SCENE. "EACH ONE HAS A NAME. A HEART."
S1 Ep1 THE BOAT RIDE TO VALINOR. I shrieked SO HARD.
And oh gosh, it was between the first reveals of Khazad-Dum and Numenor but I'm a dwarf so I gotta go with Elrond's first entrance into Khazad-Dum, with Bear McCreary's score cranking in the background. THE SONG OF MY PEOPLE.
26. If you could ask the creative team behind RoP one question, what would it be?
CHARLOTTE BRANDSTROM, SAANA HAMRI AND LOUISE HOOPER: WHICH ONE OF YOU WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAM HAZELDINE'S ABJECT SLUTTINESS IN S2EP6? PLEASE STAND UP.
27. Which person involved in the show would you most like to meet in person? What would you say to them?
Ummmm honestly? I'm sure y'all think I'm gonna say Joseph Mawle or Sam Hazeldine, but Simon Tolkien. Because apparently we have him to thank or Adar's extended character arc, so I'd like to personally thank him for giving us that and hearing his thoughts on why that was so important to him.
There is a sense too that the world has been fundamentally changed by Sauron even though he has been defeated. Innocence and magic are disappearing from Middle Earth as the elves leave, departing into the West. And I think that my grandfather must have felt the same about Europe in the aftermath of the Great War: how terrible it must have been to fight âthe war to end all warsâ only to have to send your sons to fight in another war 20 years later.

"Itâs very disrespectful to accuse Simon Tolkien, the Tolkien estate and the Tolkien scholars who defend this show of being âsold outsâ. Simon Tolkien is there to protect his grandfather legacy. Some of these haters act as if they know Tolkien work better than all of these people, just because they donât like the changes, the show doesnât follow their headcanons and donât even understand what this show is trying to do. Maybe some of you donât understand Tolkien like you think you do. Just a thought."

"For the trolls who keep hating on this show for fun or think this is a âmoney grabâ project, it would be cool to remember the Tolkien estate declined projects from Netflix and HBO. Netflix offered to pay way more money than Amazon (millions more) and they were declined because the Tolkien estate felt their proposal was âtoo Marvelâ. Amazon promised the Estate a seat at the writing/creative table, meaning they have control of what goes down in the show. Thatâs Simon Tolkien, the series consultant and the current head of Tolkien estate, and Tolkienâs grandson. This is public knowledge, btw. âThe Hollywood Reporterâ has an online article on this."
"Why do the PJ fanboys hate on Simon Tolkien and him being involved in TROP? Simon actually wanted to support PJ and his adaptations, his father was the one who was against any sort of adaptation, and hated the movies."
My grandfather, J.R.R. Tolkien died in 1973 when I was fourteen. He had been an important figure in my life up to then, and I have strong me
