I agree with most of this

" iron clad certainty that the show is crap, everyone knows its crap, the intentions of the filmmakers are crap, the sociopolitical machinations of the studio are crap, and the treatment of the fans is crap, and on and on."
I don't have a problem with making necessary filler between known historical points or even the side stories of Harfoots (I think a 10-15) episode series would be required to do all of it justice). The filler however should strive for consistency with lore.
The main criticism is the destruction of KNOWN characters and their personalities.......Galadriel is chief among them and imbecilic plot lines There was no reason to dirty her up other than either ego or stupid stuidio influence wanting an action hero Galadriel. Fan fiction unfortunately is all this can ever be and as a result deserves to be called out. The formation of Mordor in particular was beyond belief with a stupid mousetrap device.
The same criticisms have been leveled at the atrocious Wheel of Time series by Amazon, another botched job that had access to ALL of the material. On that show it is clearly showrunner ego that has ruined it.
I will keep watching for the brief moments that I do enjoy but will call out the absolute wreckage when I see it.
