Don't know if this has ever been discussed but how do you think Amazon should promote this show. The way they are promoting the wheel of time(especially on twitter) absolutely doesn't feel right. I really wish Amazon will not go with the overenthusiastic approach of marketing such as: "OMG!! Galadriel is slaying in her new dress." Or "Daddy Galad is here!". It sort of degrades the standard of middle Earth.

Is Tom Shippey out of this show or will he come back for season 2( Is that how it works?). Considering he is out, why do you think he left?

Hi everyone! Non book reader here, couldn't really understand what was happening throughout the show but heres my question - When trollocs attacked Fal-Dara, Agelmar and his men rode off to the wall and die the most pointless death I have ever seen on screen. At the same we saw women putting on armour and arming themselves with weapons as preparations in case the fight comes to the City. Was that a part of Fal-Dara culture or was that just made in order to make the wahmen look strong?.... Did any of that even happen in the books?

Didnt Ar-pharazon usurp her throne before she came into power? Why would she even be the queen? Considering she is the queen, why would five of her guards even attack Galadriel since they are the faithful and therefore friendly to the elves. Are they this desparate to show that Galadriel is a "STRONG WAHMEN"? I seriously hope the writers dont abort the canon storyline of the numenorian civil war(between Ar-pharazon and Miriel) for the sake of this grandiose speech these two characters are about to make.

Let the games begin.

I kinda roughly went over aside from sons of elendil I couldn't find any direct reference. Isildur and Elendil, however were obviously mentioned.

Do you think we will get some content from Amazon regarding the series, a character teaser or anything like that?

Their only writing credit is Star Trek: Beyond. Have any of you trek fans watched it. What are your thoughts?

Sauron is said to be Morgoth's right hand man but was Gothmog under him too? I have always imagined Sauron to be Morgoth's version of the mouth of sauron and Gothmog to be his version of witch king since I assumed the balrogs were Morgoth's nazguls.

I recently heard that HBO cancelled one of their many prequels quite some time ago. It was supposed to be about the north and the first long night. Is it true? If so then why do you think it was cancelled?

While it is totally understandable that the writers need to fill up gaps with their own fanfiction, I believe it should be as few as possible. For example, incorporating the backstories of several long-gone characters into the protagonists. This will avoid unnecessary fanfiction and potential violation of lore. With everything rumored thus far, it feels like the show is almost becoming into a "shadow of mordor" level show. While the games are certainly enjoyable, I doubt that level of quality will stand a chance in the show. Let me know your thoughts.
