Part 2/8:
Isaac, a commentator on Tolkien's works, passionately argues that Simon Tolkien, who is currently a consultant for the series, has strayed from his grandfather's vision. This contention is supported by reports, such as one from Geek Tyrant, which mentions Simon expressing enjoyment in working with Amazon Studios. He reportedly provided suggestions to showrunners JD Payne and Patrick McKay, implying a collaborative spirit that stands in stark contrast to J.R.R. Tolkien's original intentions.
