In this video, I break down my biggest problems with Amazon's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, particularly how the series changes Tolkien's established lore, characters, timelines, and major events. From the portrayal of Galadriel and Sauron to the forging of the Rings of Power and the history of the Second Age, we look at how the show compares to the story Tolkien actually wrote. Whether you're a longtime Tolkien reader or only familiar with The Lord of the Rings movies, this is a closer look at where The Rings of Power departs from the source material, and why we should care about those differences. #TheRingsOfPower #LordOfTheRings #Tolkien #MiddleEarth #sauron Music: Middle Earth (less loud) by Luis Humanoide 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=delK8nKRvUU&t=8s
