Fan love? Do they mean actors paid to look like fans?

This show is an insult to Tolkien and actual fans.

I'm an actual fan and I quite enjoyed it. Read through the main series every 2-3 years and have read The Silmarillion twice.

I'm a Tolkien fan, a stupidly obsessive one with the reddit history (complete with pathetically obscure Tolkien reference of a username) to prove it and I like it well enough (not all of it, eg anything Sauron was a big meh, but enough) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Didn't even get a Kit Kat. Fuck off with the 'actual fans' gatekeeping twattery.

Thats good. Thats what entertainment is for anyway. For me i didnt like it. That is fine. We have the og books. It is enough
