Ahah, I just follow the link in the notification emails, so in theory I know my comment conversations with people go on and on and the space gets narrower and narrower, but yeah. Here we are.
Ah right, got it! I've seen gifs of behind-the-scenes Dwarves In Barrels on Tumblr, like I mentioned, but that's it, nothing else, and certainly no more Thranduil or Legolas. And I guess it wouldn't make sense to release any footage before even a trailer, either...

It's even worse when you consider that the names we see the Noldor presented with are mostly in Sindarin so then there are all the Quenya forms of things to be messing around with, too. Thankfully the habit of having multiple names died down by the Third Age (could you imagine the narrative if Legolas had three interchangeable names?) though Aragorn/Strider/Elessar/Telcontar/what am I even missing certainly revived the habit with a iwll.
The first time I read the Silmarillion I got super confused by the Ainulindale -- I was like "this has nothing to do with Lord of the Rings!", and I stopped reading it entirely. Thankfully my second shot was rather more successful!
My goal someday is to read through more of the supplementary material for myself, but since so much of it isn't in a coherent narrative idk how likely that is. And ooh did you sign up? Good luck, I'll be here for cheerleading if you'd like :D I wish I knew how to finish things....
