![]() washing away the last remnants of our enemy like a spring rain over the.bones of a spoiled carcass." I don't know what it is about this line that crystallizes to me just how little these writers understand either elves or just writing in general. There's also some incredibly awkward use of language, like an en elvish king at one point saying: ". Many of the things the characters said made me have to pause and go back to make sure I hadn't misheard. Not to mention that this sounds like it was written by a person that has no idea what the kind of old-sounding English language should be like, so it comes across as unnatural, similar to when you watch a movie about the military written by someone that has no idea how soldiers talk to one another either in private or formal settings. The lines meaningless drivel most of the time - they're stupid, borderline incoherent. Not only is the script weak in how little it accomplishes given the runtime and how long it takes to set stuff up, but the scene-to-scene dialogue is excruciating. The writing is, BY FAR, the worst part about it. ![]() Anyway, this isn't very good, however, the blame is not evenly distributed. Had you told me that what I was watching was Amazon's Wheel of Time rather than Lord of the Rings, I wouldn't have been surprised - the tone of this show is much closer to that and other poor, uninteresting boomer series like it. If anything, this show more closely resembles all those epic fantasy copycats that started coming out in the 80s which were LotR fanfic in all but name with only a few elements changed around and renamed. ![]() This show feels nothing like LotR, neither the book trilogy, nor Jackson's adaptation.
