Boyens and screenwriter Phoebe Gittins expanded on Tolkien’s original story. In particular, they wanted to give a certain character her own name.

I don't like this. This sounds like Rings of Power. I mean, I obviously hope I am wrong, but this already sounds bad. Tolkien wrote so much that hasn't been adapted yet, why do we have to keep getting fanfictions instead?

I definitely used to feel this way, and I haven't seen Rings of Power, so I can't speak to it, but I've been steadily growing more open to the idea of people adapting the setting and building stories within Tolkien's universe.
