Shadow of Mordor/War is essentially an AU of the rest of the lotr franchise, its lore only works & makes sense with the movies if you close your eyes

#shelob being a werespider who banged Sauron & helped Talion out of scorn for Sauron but otherwise being a neutral evil entity... #ok i can roll with that #minas ithil still being a free city only transformed into minas morgul in shadow of war on the other hand #huh??? minas ithil was attacked & then the rest of its free citizens were killed in a plague & it became minas morgul #some like 900-1000 years before the events of the game takes place hhhhh #i mean i still like it and play it tho & there's other lore that actually fits & expands pretty nicely with the rest of everything
