That the Tolkien's lore is silent on Celebrimbor death and the only known fact is that he's not present in the TA,
ART!

I'm not bothered by the timeline changes, but imagine an anthology version of this story, with a chronology-accurate timeline, where each season has some of the same elf characters, maybe some of the same dwarf characters, but every season has new human characters! It would be do-able, and could be very good, but it would be very different.

Not the case. More details forthcoming.

This conversation has taken a strange turn. I fully know that this is not the case, I even quoted the date of his death, straight from Appendix B of LotR.
Literally the conversation that derailed the other thread. Let's not.

Then I don't understand what the conflict is.
Mod Note:
The conflict is that you inserted yourself trying to correct someone who didn't need correcting, causing confusion in the process.
How about folks stop arguing over timelines, and instead get back to the tread subject, please and thanks.

One of the things I like about this series is largely a break from the Peter Jackson movies (I loved 3/6 of them) and the novels: Orcs are people.
They're not necessarily nice people and Adar is probably still a villain, but making them something more than anonymous hordes whose only goal is to conquer, eat hobbits and not get beaten up by the Uruk-Hai has been welcome.

Every orc on The Rings of Power has a personality — just ask the folks who made them
Plus who they consider “the most fascinating character” to design
