They try to sneak some stuff in anyways though.

Like, the whole "master smith discovers alloys" thing was a way to show the three elven rings being made of the different metals without directly referencing the Silmarillion describing them. When they pour out the "alloy" to make the rings they're clearly made of different metals.

But like, who was that for?

Real huge lore nerds you just pissed off because Sauron wasn't supposed to know about their existence or take part in their making? Him not knowing is why his plan didn't work!
