I wouldn't be able to get through the first divergence from the books.
I already know there are a lot of characters shoved into it that weren't in the story.
Remember Galadriel? Here she is again!
She wasn't in the book?

She'll probably be in the tv show too, she's an old elf

Gandalf disappeared from the story for awhile to go take out the Necromancer(who turns out to be Sauron taking shape again).
As a member of the White Council, Galadriel was surely there, but her name isn't mentioned in the book. She makes no appearance.

Which is forgivable, because she's an implied part of the story as elucidated in FOTR.

But the dwarf/elf/ other elf triangle is a big nope.

Also that the elf chick is wholly made up
Yes I remember seeing she was made up to be part of a love interest with one of the midgets.

I've never read the book so all I have to go on is the movies. I thought it was a decent trio. 7.5 ish

Because it's directed by PJ, it's sure to have great sequences.
But it's like a hundred page children's story.
No relationshipping. Just questing and fighting and traveling and traveling and walking and spending a fortnight doing blah blah.

Legolas isn't in it and isn't a superhero. The scene of him leaping from stone to stone as they fall was ridiculous.

I've absorbed a fair amount of the trio through pop culture.

Oh in the movies he's a killing machine.he should probably make a ring and put all his power into it.

He was great in LOTR.
Pretty much like the book, a friendly killing machine.
You really should read the chapter Helm's Deep. It's nearly exactly as written, Gimli and Legolas having a killing contest.

Super old. Gandalf is written as being like 3000 years old, and she's way older.
Wrong.
I can tell you their proper name is Ulairi, spirits of Arda similar in power to Gandalf.
Wrong.
Once upon a time, I could've told you the name of the Witch King(wraith leader).
Doubt.
He is called the Witch King of Angmar, but Angmar is a realm/nation, not his own name.
AFAIK the only name we ever got for a Nazgûl is Khamûl the Easterling, the second in command so to speak.

I knew someone would cunt up (just invented that) about it if I was wrong. I wrote it without having looked at the info in a couple of decades.
Meh

I'm a nerd about this. Don't you desecrate the holy writings.

I mean SongExotic2 @SongExotic2 can, because nobody believes his rants anyhow. But you are serious business!!

I reckon theodin is a right cunt. If it wasn't for Aragon he would never have helped Gondor.


And if it wasn't for gandalf the bugger would still be under a magic spell
