Has to be Gandalf. They freaking called him a “Grand Elf” last episode.
Definitely a huge toxic fanbase for this show and it’s become trendy to hate on it. You’ve got Tolkein fans upset at the interpretation of source material, Jackson fans wanting the tone to be more like the trilogy, and others pushing an agenda, all described as “bad writing”. It’s part a trend in fandom where everyone has a personal view of where the story should go and gets upset at any deviation.
This is my favourite show on streaming right now. Love the world building and cinematography, and other than some pacing issues in S1 it provides a super interesting story filling in the blanks in the history of Middle Earth. Can’t wait to see what happens next and how the storylines converge.
