Numenor was this epic tragic tale by Tolkien, about how men stopped accepting their eventual deaths as their fate and tried to rebel against their very nature as they were created by Eru, and become immortal. That is what drove the King’s Men, the bad guys, to reject elves out of jealousy of their immortality, and which eventually caused them to attack the Undying lands themselves. Yet in this show, none of this very essence of the tale of Numenor is even mentioned. Instead, the motivating factor for the evil Numenoreans is fear that elves will immigrate and steal their jobs, like some caricature of anti-immigration movements of the present day. They should just have given them MAGA hats to wear if they’re going to be this blatant. What a monumental insult to Tolkien.
