    Unforgivable- all the scenes that I loved from the books and was excited to see realized on film wasn't done or was changed so much I hated what I saw. I have never been so disappointed in a show. They had to know that many of these scenes were iconic to the readers. They have to know they are giving us none of what we were hoping for from the books. Instead they are making these new scenes thinking they can take the place of Mat beating the warders, Rand's battle at Falme ....

    Talking of the heroes journey reminded me of this series I read where in the first book the hero went around gathering his heroes to go tackle the big bad. The usual story of early fantasy. You grew to love all these people. They got there and entered her domain. They got separated and everyone but the main character got turned. So he escaped at the end, so despondent that he had to start all over again. He had already picked those he thought were the best. And with the next group have to fight these people we learned to love and root for. I can't remember what the series was called and maybe if someone does they should put a whole bunch of spoiler space because this could be almost any hero group epic journey book. Definitely not where I expected this hero journey to go.

    Very happy I saw this video today. I saw so many comments and reactions where they just completely dismissed the characters especially Katara and Sokka but also that they completely rewrote Aang but they didn't put any thought into it. It was different than the animated chars and so they hated it. Which made me a bit angry So thank you for actually putting their characterisation into words. I actually really liked what the LA did with the material and of course there is always room to improve but you put it in a really constructive way and not just say well its different so its bad ♡

    Great stream - loved the location with planes taking off regularly! In Canada, frost heaves form when water gets into the ground under road surfaces and causes it to heave upwards. Quite unsettling when you hit them at speed, which is why we have loads of warning signs on the worst stretches of highway.

    It has been years since I read the Silmarillion, but from what lore experts have said, and doesn't conflict with my memory, is that Galadriel was the one who was always suspicious of Anatar. I know for a fact that they messed up the order in which the rings were made, which thematically and time-line-wise, changes EVERYTHING. The 3 rings of the elves were made LAST, of the rings for the races, and they were for a fact, not influenced by Sauron. They DID NOT have the corrupting draw of the One Ring. EVERYTHING about this series is just... twisted and backwards...

By having the Three made first, the show can correct this common misconception by emphasizing from the very start of the Ring Project that we ought to be wary of Rings.

    Remarkably faithful to the book? I almost laughed. The movie cuts out a lot of highly important detail and buildup, as well as the entire earthside story, then rushes the rest of the movie so that it barely makes sense. The earthside story isn't important to Ender at Battle School, but helped to set the background of Earth history and heavily shaped the end of the book. Every moment of the book is very well thought- out and suspenseful. I understand some of the decisions to compress the story, but it sucks the life out of the characters they pushed so that they wouldn't have to flesh out the ones who were actually important to the late story. Fly Molo, Hot Soup, Vlad, Carn, and Crazy Tom were entirely forgotten.
