I was excited when I thought I figured something out only to learn it was literally already discussed in an interview (I intentionally avoided reading much before watching it)

How did you like it so far? I have not watched it yet and have been saving it for the weekend; although might give in and watch it in a little while if I cannot sleep.

I like it for the most part but the writers seem to be allergic to using any of the poetry/songs Tolkien wrote, or maybe they weren't allowed to for some reason, idk
I see. Yeah I remember reading about some licensing(?) stuff that they could and could not use some material etc. So it is either that or they just made a creative decision. 🤷♀️
