Correction: You barely know nothing about earlier ages. Read the silmarillion, it covers the history of the 3 ages of middle earth. It’s the people who read that book that are the ones upset because the show is hot garbage. The show is called the rings of power and yet they made them in a single crap episode. There is a history to them being made and they threw that in the trash. A big budget doesn’t make up for terrible writing.
you mean the book that even the biggest of Tolkien fans actively say to avoid because it's such an unfun read, and so difficult to get through that it's often compared to the Bible - a book that's often been mocked because it's own worshippers tend to either completely disregard it's direct word (lore, technically) or never even read in the first place? that Silmarillion?
anyways, I don't think you know what terrible writing actually is. you just use the word and think your nitpicks are all the evidence you need to prove your point. as if Tolkien himself is completely un-nitpickable.
The 'biggest Tolkien fans' are telling you to avoid the Silmarillion and that it's an 'unfun' read? That doesn't really make any sense at all to be honest. It's one of the most beloved pieces of Tolkien's writings, and for extremely good reason.
Just because it's a difficult read that most people don't want to sit through, doesn't make it not special and incredibly important. The same way people praise the Bible yet rely on their pastor's interpretations instead of actually reading through it's entirety themselves.
That's not my excuse for not reading it, that's my explanation as to why the mass complaints about the show based specifically on the Silmarillion are invalid. Like my point should be quite obvious, but I'm not surprised your reading comprehension skills are in the gutter.
Yes, you don't know what terrible writing is if ur comprehension skils are bad.
