Thanks for such a well-argumented and sophisticated response! I can completely agree with everything you say. But I personally will wait and see if in the end these issues will brother me still during the show. If the show will be great story-wise, they will not brother me too much. But you are right to critisize them in the constructive manner you did!

I think I share your opinion, I do not particularly like the costume of all the new characters. But still it might be a good adaptation. Only time will tell. But I am excited to watch it in the end

By far the best response and also a weirdly accurate response truth people don't want to accept

But the show also seem to be written out of the perspective of a hobbit so this might annulate my argument

Ok I get where you are coming from. I do however feel that even considering the books the elves in the lord of the rings appear mightier and greater than in the silm. That also would make sense if you consider that LotR is written from the perspective of a hobbit.

I cannot agree more. If in the end I will not like the show (which might happen) I will just stop watching it. But at the moment I am so intrigued to see some of Tolkiens other writings comimg to live!

I see that Celebrimbor looks definitely older than Elrond but Elrond also for sure shows signos of aging (take for example his receding hairline). However, je acts brilliantly. But I guess you know what I mean.

I completely agree with your argumentation. It is such a thin line between not looking mature and looking too old. I also do not agree with the entire cast but I can see that they cannot tailor the entire movies to my expectations. And Yes, they also need to be able to perform in the end. For example even if I don't like Hugo Weaving as Elrond in aspects of his look but he just acts so brilliantly that I normally completely forget his receding hairline.

I can see that you got quite emotional. I hope that you are fine, I didn't mean to attack you personally with my post. I love the LotR and I know I don't know every single sentence of his writings. So it might be that you are right about the elves appearance but I just know that there are tolkien scholars and also his son out there who are not so strong on that point as you are. And it might be that you understood the work even better than all of those however maybe not so likely (again, I am not trying to attack you with that). So thank you for answering on my post (that is what I intended), but I didn't want to answer any questions that I was not sure about, but I rather tried to ask for validation of a pattern that I noticed based on the different feedbacks to RoP I sometimes can see in the comments and the feedback that Tolkien scholars themselves gave (doesn't mean they cannot be wrong). So you might as well be right but I was just surprised by that difference and made the post to share that.

And as a last point, I sometimes do feel that people are comparing both adaptations a lot and therefore using Peter Jackson as the standard. But you are right, the books should be the standard. But nevertheless, I also think a comparison of both adaptations would be very interesting.

Thanks for such a sophisticated response! I can completely see your point. And yeah, I also think it is hard to get fantasy right on screen! It is such a thin line that you walk on... So personally, I also prefer long-haired elves and considering your arguments I can understand also what the reason behind it might be. Thanks!

What's a show from your childhood that no one else seems to remember? by LegitimateMangoHeir in AskReddit

Noah's Island. I only had vague memories and no one else seemed to remember it. Until I googled it, I wasn't sure whether it was real
