78. Bilbo’s Prologue and The Rings of Power is NOT fixing The Lord of the Rings Films

Michael and Jonathan found out someone’s been copying our look at the changes PJ made to the books–and then applying that to The Rings of Power?! We happily point out their failure (or was it just an AI article?!)…

This week we also take a look at Bilbo’s prologue in the extended edition–particularly in how it takes cues from Tolkien’s prologue to The Lord of the Rings. We might just surprise you with our discussion!

In our extended episode (available for our members — https://theonering.com/members) we talk more about the article that copied our recent videos about the film changes, including:

• How they get elven diversity all wrong
• How seeing yourself as skin-color in Middle-earth never matters
• How fitting more stories into The Rings of Power was, well, stupid
