It does nothing better and I would go so far as to say The Hobbit movies were better. Yes, even the 5/10 Battle of Five Armies is better than this 3/10 show.

Edit:

>Isildur Is a Much More Complex Character

>Part of the work has already been done in Season 1, but Isildur’s (Maxim Baldy) storyline promises that the future king will be a much more nuanced character by the time he comes to the slopes of Mount Doom in Season 5. In the prologue to Jackson’s movies, Isildur is effectively a villain who bungles the greatest opportunity for peace that Middle-earth ever had by taking the Ring for himself. Tolkien’s further writings, however, suggest that there was much more to Isildur than there initially seemed, and that he was struggling against the power of the Ring for some time.

He is barely a character, like most other characters on the show. Btw what makes you think the future seasons will do a good job with the character?

>Tolkien even suggested that Isildur was planning on giving the Ring into the keeping of the wielders of the Three Elven Rings before his untimely death. How much of that storyline will come to pass is unclear, but the flexibility of the TV series allows for a much fuller exploration of Isildur in future seasons.

You are coming to your conclusion based on an assumption, then. You are just assuming they are gonna make him more nuanced down the line.

What a trash article.
