Lord of the Rings Series -- Amazon

All well said
And/but it’s the nature of adaptation
Mary Magdalene was mentioned briefly in a few stories but there were several other unnamed women - on subsequent retellings MM gets synthesized from 5 or 6 women
Peter Dinklage looks nothing like book Tyrion
And on and no

And I agree that the dynamics between book lore and tv adaptation COULD (and does) offer rich discussion
BUT it’s also a Trojan horse that review bombers use to mask their sexism, racism, et al
(tbc I’m not coming anywhere close to painting you with that brush)

So, I get that there are neckbeards out there ruining everything, but it's my god given right to nerd out over obscure sheet, and criticize creative choices that don't reflect my understanding of the story, and I'll be damned if I let them take that away from me.

:cool:
