What TV series related to the "Matter of Middle-earth" would you prefer to see?

Rings of Power -- all opinions and spoilers welcome thread.

This is a thread to discuss about the show, welcoming, in a nice and polite manner as befit any Internet board, opinions about the show, from any point of views, ranging from how it was if you discovered Middle Earth by watching it or how the show differed from Tolkien canon and how it is...

This suggestion seems disingenuous considering I've posted in that thread quite recently.

I read it as "That thread feels like it was exactly made for what you seem to be trying to discuss... this one doesn't so much."

It would have been clearer if they had included the quote you were responding to as well.

Whether Jackson's Hobbit contains something comparable, I couldn't say; I saw only the first of those films and detested it.

The second was much worse and the third the best of the three.

Episode 6 got intense, bit it wasn't worse than a lot of the violence in Two Towers or Return of the King. If anything, I would say that perhaps it takes the violence more seriously than the Jaxkfilms do, which is appropriately Tolkienien.

Was that the episode where the pyroclastic flow hit the town and should have turned it into Pompei, but bad writing caused everyone in town to have less difficulty with it than a sunburn at the beach?

Sure, that would have been nice, but who made @trappedslider the on-topic police?

Well there does seem to be a fair bit of this going on outside of a thread that seemed to be expressly created for that sort of negative commenting on Rings of Power. Do we really need three threads so people can complain about it?

A fair bit of what exactly? That people are expressing their preferences about the recent Tolkien show in a thread about their preferences regarding Tolkien shows in general doesn't seem particularly off topic to me, and I started this thread! You don't need to ghettoize opinions with which you don't agree.

Sorry for thinking this was a general topic (middle earth) thread and not just another thread about the show.

Another disingenuous reply. Why am I not surprised?

So the title of YOUR thread is "What TV series related to the "Matter of Middle-earth" would you prefer to see? "
However, the last few pages had a number of posts about Rings of Power which has had its own thread 2 of them in fact since the show launched. I know thread drift is a thing but having a thread turn into a copy of another thread..at that point just ask the mods to merge them.
