Why the Rings of Power Elves are FOOLS!
Jonathan and Michael discuss how--if you've read Tolkien before--you'd recognize that Amazon is creating elves that are completely different and just, well, stupid! They also look at how Rings of Power's forced diversity is apparently more important than the story, why they missed out on a great Tar Miriel story, if your imagination is usurped by the movie versions, and whether they want the show to succeed or fail.
