it’s a little silly to call him king now.

I direct you to an actual volcanologist who can explain it better than I can, like I already did with another person in this thread:

Well, more to the point, there was no prior king to Halbrand recently so presumably there’s no unity amongst the separate groups.

I notice that you left out the package switcheroo plot point ultimately leading to the creation of Mordor as we know it.

this dude has so many abilities. he can also drink and eat regular food.

And, um, water hitting lava causes a cataclysmic eruption? No, it causes steam.

You spelt it right. But it took them several days at the sea and two days after reaching land, as their dialogue explained. They sailed up Andúin river, and then rode the rest of the way.

Mount Doom is created because of a steam explosion is... just fucking terrible writing.

The trouble is that it’s an idea the source material leaves no room for. Sauron’s desire is for ‘mastery over flesh at a blood price so high Adar ostensibly rebelled.

Fun fact: In addition to “hell,” Udûn is also the ancient name of Mordor. If there were any questions about what this Southland is destined to become

Adar isn’t just a fallen Elf but one of the original Orcs known as Uruk, who were early Elves enslaved and tortured by Morgoth in the First Age.

They’re not incredibly hard, at least with Bleed build, as long as you’re on equal level with them and not facing multiple at the time. Their attacks are fairly telegraphed, so you can usually roll aside to avoid them.

Rhaynera is meant to look more homely than Alycent. The white hair has an ageing effect past a certain point. 

What in the fuck is Ser Cole still doing around the Kingsguard after assaulting the sworn protector of the future-Queen Consort in the middle of a banquet hosted by the king and a major violation of guest rights?

If they wanted us to believe that a servant talked and details of it reached the Velaryon household (specifically Laena), then they would have indicated already and not left it up to guesswork.

Is there any reason why Criston was able to keep his post after banging Rhaenyra and beating a guy’s face in, but Harwin didn’t?

You get no sense that they were instrumental in taking down Morgoth during the War of Wraith. That they are arguably the strongest fighting force in existence.

There’s a problem with the timeline too, since mithril is supposedly just discovered but Earendil sails the sky in a ship made of it.

Usually the kickass scene is just a demonstration of “this is what you’ll be able to do once we’re done”. It’s not education, just a show to pump up the trainees. 

A fun thing to imagine is what a Numenorean ship would be carrying in tapped casks, and which is as explosive as coal dust
