It is a very dark and negative energy, even at the very end. The girl survived the terror, trauma and the torture but the memory remains. Reminds me of a song.

What's wrong with Rings of Power? I had high hopes for it! I have barely seen anything about it though.

They only have the rights to Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. So basically only a few pages in the appendices of Lord of the Rings.zazthespaz wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:31 amWhat's wrong with Rings of Power? I had high hopes for it! I have barely seen anything about it though.

I don’t know if you watched Wheel of Time S1 last year or not but as a fan of those books I was fairly disappointed. The show wasn’t terrible but they made enough changes to the source material to turn me off of it. I know it’s different showrunners working on Rings of Power, but all of it being under the Amazon umbrella doesn’t thrill me for them doing any sort of continuity that matches The Silmarillion.

Not seen or read, but what I did see in trailers and the like did seem a little cheap. What I've seen of this seems on an entirely different scale tbf, but obviously the writing will be what it lives and dies on. I think there's a Breaking Bad writer working on it? Not a guarantee I know but still.Andy92 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 8:57 pmI don’t know if you watched Wheel of Time S1 last year or not but as a fan of those books I was fairly disappointed.

Sorry I didn't find the time to answer earlier!Ubik wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 6:01 pm I get what you're saying Timo, and I'm probably looking at it from a slightly different perspective as I read all the extra legendarium stuff last year because the show was coming out, so it's less firmly embedded in my brain. But it's a little like the Jackson films, more or less my favourite trilogy of films ever, where he turns Aragorn into a reluctant king, makes Elrond Half-elven say "Men are weak", has Faramir take the hobbits to Osgiliath, swaps Glorfindel for (a slightly warrior princessy!) Arwen, has Frodo send Sam away, has the Oathbreakers do most of the battle winning for them, has the Witch-King break Gandalf's staff, and that's without getting into all the stuff he just removed entirely. It's not Tolkien and Christopher apparently hated them, but they remain excellent to me at least. I doubt this'll get to that level but I want to give it a go.
Would love Silmarillion stories after finally having read it (it gets a very unfair rap!) but as you said earlier, they didn't have those rights and I doubt the Tolkien Estate will sell them for a long time yet, given it wasn't published in his lifetime. On Miriel - she's apparently Queen Regent, so Tar-Palantir should at least be alive.

Honestly I don’t like it as much as I used too, I’ve gotten soft in my old age. I do enjoy a good scary movie but not so much just about bloody scenes. I get enough of that at work!cheesedip1 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:47 pm Over the years i got desensitized to blood and scary scenes in movies lol
