I'm interested at the idea of Shelob being introduced before Adar's defeat.
As a reader, there are certain themes when she was introduced in The Two Towers that stuck out to me.
In the show we are introduced through Adar of the idea of the Orcs in a #RingsOfPower #LotR #RoP

different light. Adar, with his corrupt but still distinguishably elvish appearence, speaks of how the orcs were treated of Sauron and basically perceives them and himself as beings in shackles who didn't choose how to be and are living with what they were given.

the Orcs ARE written as bad by Tolkien, I first remember perceiving the Orcs thus when Shelob had been introduced. Unlike them, Shelob did not answer to Sauron and, because of her power and unique utility, she was valued. She was both a guard and provided Sauron with spectacle
So Amazon shuttered the comments for #ROP ?
Is anyone else seeing this as anything but a PR stunt?
After the 3 day lock-out, The comment section will reopen and those who have predisposed opinions about it will write what they will.

It’s tiring that some will defend ROP on the merits of it having a diverse cast & little else and others will hate it for the same reason… but a greater majority will criticize it for story issues or the acting or direction or other liberties taken w the source material and
THOSE FANS will be lumped into the same group as the racists/sexists/whatever and that’s disingenuous.
But the media will side w Amazon & write it off as “Bad Fans Review Bomb” this poor poor billion dollar spectacle and when they do,more lines are drawn in the sand…

In 1969 Tolkien sold the film rights of The Hobbit/LotR & was given a choice of ART (creative control) or CASH (more of it.) He chose CASH. After ~12 film/TV adaptations, the family obviously regretted this decision. So in 2017, the Tolkien Estate, which represents the family, /1
made a deal with Amazon for both LOTSA CASH and CREATIVE CONTROL. Since Christopher Tolkien (who died in 2020) famously disliked the PJ films, they did not want PJ involved. Simon Tolkien is now working with #ROP showrunners to produce an adaptation that is acceptable to them. /2
Tolkien's quotes about adaptations are often taken out of context. He was "personally averse to dramatizations" but still authorized a BBC radio play (which he disliked) and a children's musical play (which he liked when it used his words and disliked when it didn't), and even /3

The idea started with a dialogue by a colleague ”We don’t do lasers, they are ancient, we do avastin - simple, easy, less recurrence.”
Me: “there are long term risks - right?”
Colleague: Na, it’s ok, we already accepted & moved 🤨

I thought it’s good idea to pursue a #Systematicreview as the evidence is sketchy & controversial but what really pushed me to do the review is👇
