What i mean by this is just that i have been wondering for a little while now if this show is based on any of tolkien's work like is it a adaptation of the silmarillion or not? I have been wondering if amazon even cared enough to do that because if this is all just based on original material by them, than that is just even more insulting to the world and i might actually end up not even considering the rings of power to be canon with the middle earth movies or in general the world that tolkien created all those years ago.
