My Wish List for a Second Age TV Series
Happy Bilbo and Frodo’s birthday, all! (In the great crossover ‘verse in my head, Frodo is 95 today.) Here’s a Middle-earthy post in honor.
I think Rings of Power S2, overall, is better than S1, and I have been enjoying some of it. On the whole, however, it’s a lost cause for me, so I’m going to lay out some things I’d like to see if the Tolkien estate ever grants rights to adapt The Silmarillion. (I know RoP is hampered by not being able to do this.)
Here are my broad contentions: 1) It should focus on the Elves and 2) it should follow Tolkien’s timeline. My picks for protagonist would be either Gil-galad or Elrond. For me, RoP’s biggest contribution to Middle-earth worldbuilding is Adar, and while he couldn’t be used in this hypothetical adaptation due to copyright, I will take inspiration from his plotline. Expect spoilers for any Tolkien lore and vague references to RoP stuff.
Disclaimers: My memory of a lot of The Silmarillion of is vague. I’m writing this in the midst of a pain flare up from too much screen time, so I’m not bothering to look up details like accent marks. Sorry for mistakes.( Read more... )
What's on your wish list? I'd love to hear.
