The Rings of Power Showrunner on the Contradictions of Tolkiens Own Second Age Stories

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has constantly been battling die-hard Tolkien fans who claim the series does not follow the canon of the franchise as created by the author. However, co-showrunner Patrick McKay has countered that opinion, noting that the Second Age of Middle Earth was partly chosen as the setting of the series because of Tolkiens vague and sometimes contradictory writings on the era in his main Lord of the Rings appendices.
