and how poorly they handled her character, how rushed S2 felt and how little time they had to develop anything, creating characters just to have on screen deaths, and just bad decisions like the Elrond and Galadriel kiss or making the stranger Gandalf just because.

S1 was such a strong base with a lot of potential, I don’t know how or why they completely squandered it. I have serious concerns for S3, like are they going to make Sauron’s character all about Galadriel now? Is Nûmenor ultimately going to feel rushed like Eregion did?

Are they going to handle things like the 9, the temple of Morgoth, and Pharazon’s decent well or at all? How many more characters with potential are they going to create just to kill?

The other factor is that the majority of the fandom now has shifted to being the shipperbase. Waves of new haladriels, mirendils, adariels, & more came in during S2 and most of the fandom from S1 left, leaving us with shipping wars and discourse wars galore.

The Adar base was my core group and kept me in the fandom but with him gone now they’ve separated us and I expect for most of us to fade out as the series goes on, even by S3.

All this to say, I am incredibly disappointed, they massively pissed me off, and I feel very alienated by the fandom that used to be made of mostly friends, so this is why I’ve not been participating in much or rewatched.
