Middle Earth. Literally encompassing all of Tolkien's writings. 100% of it, and staying as faithful as possible to the source material (the latest of it that we have) We're starting with the Ainulindale and ending with the Dagor Dagorath. The whole ordeal, no matter how many seasons it might take.
Maybe I'm in the minority here, but please God no.
I'm so exhausted by LOTR stuff at this point. It was good for its time and absolutely advanced the high fantasy genre by immeasurable bounds, but holy fuck it's actually really, really, boring.
What? The 2 page descriptions? I would intend o following them, not having a narrator list a 2 page description of a tree, so don't worry about that. But I would keep the songs and poems.
And if your comment comes from Rings of Power, that show absolutely sucks because it strays very far from the source material and yet still is incredibly boring.
