Well, then studios should take more effort on doing it. Hollywood is not poor after all. If Amazon is willing to pour over 1 billion dollars for a Second Age Fanfiction, why won’t Warner or HBO are willing to pour billion of dollars to make a live action Silmarillion? The costs prove to be worth it when they do that in LOTR trilogy or Avatar. So I’m definitely very into the live action.

Moreover, they can still make a cohesive narrative for the Silmarillion, all the timelines and years of events are stated in the History of Middle Earth. Tolkien even left tons of notes and drafts which could be imaginative spaces for showrunners.

Why i feel like legolas fan girls will start fangirling over the poor chap who plays Feanor

@Aiedaeil Depending on the casting and design for Sauron...it's possible that all the Sauron fans will increase in number...we already have a lot and Halbrand didn't help

YES JOIN OUR RANKS

(if your not those weird people 🙃)

@Aiedaeil I am already in the ranks of Sauron fans, I have been for over a year!

Weird is subjective

Thinking of the Silmarillion wouldn't it be incredible to see the grotesque form of Ungoliant in live action CGI I don't think animation could that justice.

I know it would be CGI yes but what would have more impact a cartoon mother of all giant spiders or a live action giant version!.

Also think about Morgoth it just wouldn't have the same impact if animated IMO.

No no no fangirling like that you sound like a shipper

:C

No I'm not shipping. I'm just pointing out facts that Melkor and Sauron are really described as "fair" back in the books lol, and they probably need to cast someone good looking 🤭

True true :D

Melkor was probably VERY attractive ( don’t tell Fanyllic)

Lol if elves are your thing I suppose you could take that line of thought.

Of course there's the ancient dragons aswel it would be interesting there's so much rich lore there to explore and uncover.
