What lore have they “butchered” that bothers you ?

What stuff did they make up that bothers you ?

Genuine question out of curiosity


For starters some of the characters in the show are not in the texts. And the ones that are in the texts are portrayed/act different than the ones in the show.

I have yet to watch more than the 1st episode, I have been very busy and can't give it my full attention. After the 1st episode, I was talking to my wife about some of the pros and cons the show is receiving.

I went on to say that "For the most part, people seem upset that there is a Black Elf in the show and too much focus on a lead role by a Woman."

She goes on to say, "Well, what about the Asian and Indian Elves?"

I died.

Glossing over some of the comments in this thread has made her statement that much funnier.

Alas, I will watch it soon, painfully or not.

Well what I quoted seems to explain everything I needed to know why would I have read further.

Edit: To answer your question fully, I read the books once as a teenager and if you think I gave/give a single shit about the lore of the author youre sorely mistaken lmao.

Edit2: I read his whole wiki - my point still stands. He was a glorified editor for material his father wrote. Sure his dad wanted him to be the final say in execution of the works but that doesnt mean his opinions on how the movies turned out matter at all. Seems like he was a smug british douche and I couldnt give less of a fuck what he thought about the movies or what he hypothetically would have thought about the show or anything really. "Noooo you cant just turn my dads books into action movies that everyone loves they should have been boring dialogue filled wankfests about the loreeeee wtffffff." Fuck him lmao.
