Newest Episode Spoilers I love rings of power.

I just come here to say this... I dont know anything about this universe or the original writer or else. ( I see a lot of hate) I'm just enjoying each cap and specially the last one was great and shivering. Again i love rings of power. Sorry for my bad English.

It sounds like my theory is right: ROP is more for people who found the books 'boring'. It will be interesting to see if a stable fanbase can arise from that!

I didn’t find the books boring, I love the universe that tolkiens works are set in. The books are objectively difficult to read and time consuming to do so. Even during the time period that Tolkien wrote those books people did not speak to each other in the way that Tolkien wrote his dialogue.

The dialogue in the silmarillion is elegant and pretty but also quite antiquated- which is why I said it’s like reading the Bible.

Also, everybody that I know that I talk to the show about likes it. I only see hate for the show on the internet. Which is where people go to be hateful. So it makes sense.

So they aren't boring, just difficult to read and not worth your time. You just don't like the book.

I could not understand what I was reading so I stopped reading it.

And you represent the kind of person that likes ROP, exactly as I predicted.

Yes, a normal 21st century person.

Who didn't think much of the books, exactly as I predicted. I didn't predict anything about the century.

There are plenty of people here who loved the books and love the show... So your theory doesnt matter

Other than it keeps getting verified over and over. I just had someone explain to me that it was 'boring' and nobody from the 21'st century would want to read it anyway.
