Weird story

So Elves were happy in their eternal paradise, then something was blocking their sunlight, and they said:"How dare you?", and they invaded where the cause was from - the middle earth, which is across the ocean, and implemented a thorough genocide.

They were so dedicated, they went to great length to make sure every last one of the orcs was eliminated (on account of not liking sunlight, and being so ugly?).

Anyway the story somehow does not strike me as very innocent.

𝑴𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒖𝒆 𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒆:

Galadriel: This is all wrong. Elves shouldn’t be up here. Elves should be back in Valinor on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us young elves for hope. HOW DARE YOU!

You have stolen our dreams and our elfhood with your empty words. And yet I'm one of the lucky ones. Hobbits are suffering.

Hedgehogs are dying. Entire Ent Forests are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is rings of power and fairy tales. HOW DARE YOU!

The story makes no sense because Amazon doesn't have the rights to the Silmarillion. They only have the rights to the appendices which are basically just a bunch of notes. There are many critical events and characters that Amazon isn't even allowed to mention, so they basically have to make up their own shitty story.

Which they have done. An hour of non stop drivel.

So Amazon spent $250 million and just bought the rights to appendices? What a strange world we are living in.
