Part 8/9:

As the film drew to a close, the expectations set forth by Warner Brothers crumbled. War of the Rerum, ultimately, did not evade the pitfalls that marred The Rings of Power. Instead, it became enmeshed within the same themes that prompted discontent among Tolkien purists. The original narrative became compromised, leading to a hollow recreation of a beloved epic, instead of a true homage to Tolkien’s legacy.
