In one of Tolkien’s letters, he specifically says that if Gollum had been redeemed as much as he could, he would have taken the ring and jumped into Mt. Doom voluntarily.

It’s a shame because it’s one of the best superhero movies I’ve seen since Endgame

It responded to the question about Harris, but it didn’t really give an answer.

I don’t have a problem with centering the story on a character who they can flesh out however they want, but the vibe of this, what with the strange inclusion of Mumakil and a Watcher in the Water, puts the vibe more in line with the Shadow of Mordor games. The line at the end of the trailer actually has me wondering if they’re treating an aspect of Shadow of War as canon.

They’re new items with distinct names. If they reused the old art it would still be a placeholder.

It’s far more complete than the first game was when it started early access. Their road map says a new area and new weapon aspects are on the way, and some characters and all keepsakes have placeholder art and models. They haven’t filled out all of the character relationship aspects of the game yet, but right now there’s plenty of content.

The game is complete enough that they’re thinking about balance changes and fine-tuning.

The Legendarium represents the cultural perspective of the Noldor and the Men who adopted much of their cultural tradition. It’s not an objective history, and some things that exist in the world, such as Tom Bombadil and Ungoliant, aren’t really accounted for by the Noldor cosmology, even though these beings are known to them.

Similarly, Morgoth isn’t just an Elvish version of Satan, he’s Satan himself as the Elves understood him - with the implication that Satan is just the same being, viewed through the Abrahamic tradition.
