We are taking on another majorly contended topic - "The Rings of Power"! Hosts Joshua Noel, Nick Polk, and Elizabeth Pangalangan Clyde (Pang) discuss the Amazon original series in this one! What was it like for someone who never heard any of the drama to watch this show just for what it was? How did our favorite Tolkien geeks enjoy this series? Which complaints were more about culture wars, misogyny, or racism; and, which complaints were more legitimate and nuanced? How cool should have Galadriel really been? Who was the strongest and fairest of the Elves, according to J. R. R. Tolkien? What would Tolkien have thought of the creatures in his world being portrayed by such a diverse cast? How did Amazon do with handling the new characters they invented compared to the ones from the books? Can there be more than one Durin at a time? Was Arondir hot or not? Were you able to connect or care about the characters in this series? Were the episodes too long? Why didn't most people finish season 1? Is 'The Stranger' really Gandalf? How could Sauron know about the three elven rings? We discuss all this and much much more in this one! Let us know what you thought of this series on our website: systematicgeekology.org
