Elementary school
(They changed many of the characters beyond recognition, and Amazon and the showrunners have been doing nothing but blaming the fans for speaking up against it. We've been called sexists, racists, misogynists, outdated people, and even cave trolls for some weird reason, and it's been super frustrating.)

(Yeah. 😢 Well, so they chose a Second Age Galadriel to be the main character, but they said they're making her into this reckless youngster who wants revenge instead of the wise ruler she was supposed to be. They dressed her in armor, gave her a back scabbard (which isn't even practical), and literally had her manspreading in one of the promotional posters. 🤦♀️ She's one of the most "Mary Sue" characters I've ever seen. It's really messed up.)

(That's just one example. Another one would be what they did to one of my all-time favorite Second Age characters, Celebrimbor. He was supposed to be a young and handsome Elf lord (younger than Galadriel, by the way!) with long, raven black hair, lots of talent and energy, and a grand vision for the world.
Amazon made him into a tired old man with a Karen haircut. I just don't understand how they can get away with stuff like this.)

(@Lily OMG that’s terrible! I though the show looked interesting but… NOPE! I don’t understand why people have to change things like that so much like characters are fine the WAY THEY WERE WRITTEN! *face palm*)

Right!! I had really high hopes for the show at one point, but I strongly believe that it's something the common people shouldn't be supporting. There are a few beautiful shots and the music isn't bad, but almost every scene is made-up (not from Tolkien) and the writing is not very commendable.

(Right, they are perfectly fine the way they are in the books! It's like Amazon purposefully wants to change them for the worse or something. I literally can't think of any other reason for it. I really did trust Amazon once, but now it feels like they really don't care what Tolkien fans think at all and that's a terrible way to go about doing all this.)

(Toccoa Falls is the tallest waterfall in America and happens to be on the campus of Toccoa Falls College in Georgia. I guess no one knew what to do with this response to Georgia! XD)
