Rings of Power: What The New Trailer Could Mean For The Lore Of Middle Earth
If there is one thing that is well known about the writing of J.R.R. Tolkien, it’s that he spent decades building up the lore of his world. From in-depth maps to creation stories for every race and culture, from languages to entire kingdoms, Tolkien spared no effort in creating his canon, formerly known as the Tolkien Legendarium. When adapting his works for the big screen Peter Jackson really delved into the lore entrenched in the pages of the books, and tried to add and incorporate as much of it as possible into his trilogy adaptations of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. However, Jackson also took a lot of creative license, changing scenes, adding whole new characters, and expanding massive chunks of the narrative into something that deviates from Tolkien’s original concepts.
Now, with the release of the recent Rings of Power trailer, questions have arisen over whether the Amazon TV Series will do the same. It has been made abundantly clear that the series will be focusing on some of the lesser-known stories from Tolkien’s Silmarillion, which details the creation of Middle Earth, the Trees of Valinor, the quest for the Silmarils, and other major events that occurred in the First and Second Ages of Middle Earth, before the quest for Erebor and the War of the Ring took place in the Third Age. But will the Rings of Power series stick to Tolkien’s content, or will it embellish and exaggerate, until the on-screen version becomes more known and believed than the original books?
