If it does well enough I'd love to see a series around Melkor or the War of Wrath from the first age.
Not gonna lie I am totally ignorant on the time period the show will take place in, I haven't read the books and I am not really into the lore and all that of LOTR.
I just watched the movies xD.

I find it very hard to get into shows nowadays tho, I watched the first one or two seasons of the Witcher I honestly can't remember if it was one or two.
Then I just kinda stopped.
It's not that I didn't like it I thought it was okay and enjoyable enough but I dunno, just sitting down and actually watching something is rare for me now.

Like I have no clue who Melkor is except that he was the big bad and Saurons boss lol.
I did watch the original trilogy not too long ago tho and did enjoy it, it has aged incredibly well.
The extended cuts has some really great extra scenes too.

I had new appreciation for Eowyn too when I re-watched it because I thought she was a female character that a lot of shows try to do nowadays but constantly fail at but done really well.
She never felt insulting and hamfisted she came across a lot more like a real person with her own unique struggles.
Altho I always felt the Witch King scene was pretty dumb in the third movie, but as far as I understand there was more context to it than it seems in the movie ( Merry's sword was special and he got a strike in first? ).
As a one-liner it's alright but when I first watched it I thought it was meant literally, that he couldn't be killed by someone depending on their gender lol.
