... Actually that's a pretty popular opinion. Especially since Haraad and Rhuin will not be corrupted by Sauron/ haven't experienced the slights and insults from Gondor that made them vulnerable to that corruption, since that happens in the 3rd age and this is set in the 2nd. So we could get a nuanced look at them without the two regions just being "Generic place for evil men."
We're still going to see those nations, or at least their ancestors, apparently, but I have no idea if we have permanent characters from the region. Would be neat to.

Yeah in the 18th century, two inventions suggested a method of measurement. One won and the other stayed in America.

Another unpopular opinion: While I love LOTR and Tolkien's work, I was never really excited for this show. I fear to be disappointed like I was by the Hobbit trilogy as a whole... I'll probably give this a chance but I'll try to lower my expectations significantly.
Anyway, I agree with the posts above.

I'd rather see the Russian 'lotr sequel' adaptation, where coincidentally, a descendant of Merry and his 2 dwarf friends are fighting easterlings and a new dark lord who wants to collect the human rings of power.
Author of this is Nick Perumov btw.

Don't worry, the bad guys will be ethnically diverse while the good guys will remain white. That way, everybody's gonna be satisfied. Like showing us a lesbian couple on tv instead of a gay one.

Interesting, please tell me more about this sequel, Kip.
Not gonna watch the Amazon series anytime soon.

Isn't really much to tell, as I only had the first book "Elven Blade", and don't recall it at all, because I read it about 16 years ago.
This fanfic series though also caused a stir in the fandom, because it challenged Tolkien's storytelling tropes, and "good vs evil" stuff he had going on in his work. Which as I was told is a sort of a trend in east slavistani tolkien fandom, albeit Perumov's work is the tamest of them.
Still better than the 1 billion dollar blunder though.
