True. That being said, fans certainly can. Thus far they don't approve.
- BerislavLopac 4y ago> Thus far they don't approve. I think it's more complex than that. The most vocal ones are the racist bigots; many others are enjoying the series as a work in its own right, accepting discrepancies for now at least. To be fair, the huge majority of fans (of both books and Jackson's films) simply do not know enough about the period covered by Rings of Power to be able to approve or not of the liberties taken there. Personally, I don't mind most of the changes in the chronology and timescale, although I think they epically failed in the way Elves are presented (and I'm not talking about the physical appearance). But overall, compared to the Jackson's fails in RotK and the Hobbit, the series is perfectly acceptable to me - for now.
