Act IV is the shadow war chapter. I tell you that cos the Blade of Galadriel DLC happens some week or day later than the main story when Act IV is decades long.

one guy in the timeline thread said this:

"Middle-earth: Shadow of War - Friend or Foe
The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War in real life
The Lord of the Rings: Orc vs. Girl
The Lord of the Rings: Mordor vs. Gondor

the first one's (with TLOTR as begining of the title) ending, which is set in our world, should be completely cut out from the timeline and they should have edited it in after a clear pause like they did with the sequels (yup a trilogy of short films) they're set sometime after Fellowship and before Return (they are official and altho no WB or New Line logo is visible they were involved just like New Line is involved with The Rings of Power) and the SoW short is set before the game."

IDK if what he said it's true cos i never watched these shorts.
 
Ah yeah yeah when he gets snaked, been a fortnight now since I actually played it for this, feels like a lifetime, got a bit too deep in lore for dating this one

Then I'll add it to the vetting list with the games for when I watch/play through this for Rohirrim once I'm done with the new indy or something
 
Not sure about the Gollum Game. Seems more based on the book-universe rather than the Movie Universe. Another game based more on the book universe, Return to Moria, could potentially fit, it even has John Rys-Davies as Gimli. I personally wouldn't add either of them, but still wanted to throw that in here.

Oh, and I personally would not add the three Rise to War shorts, I totally with @Zeitschiene 's reasoning in the Timeline Hub

It's definitely more book based but I don't think it was a coincidence it vame about when they started making noise for hunt for gollum. Doesn't contradict anything so I left it. I'll add return to Moria to my list to check out

Had planned on uploading the last batch of timestamps tonight but I had a late one last night and I just can't be bothered. Nothing on tomorrow so it'll be done and formatted by this time tomorrow and we can sort out whatever needs to be checked and/or added
 
That's me finished the timestamps and formatting, went in a different direction with some of the colouring but eh

Just need to fiddle the shadow dates and stuff
 
Read my reasoning for not including the shorts in the Timeline hub i stand by it. Also Gollum is not canon
 
I've seen War of the Rohirrim yesterday, the passage of time is really hard to track

Am curios how you're going to fit the Helm Hammerhand flashback from Shadow of War to this movie

I really liked it. The pacing was a bit too fast in the beginning, but the second and third act were really good (though there were 2-3 moments that I found unnecessary, really light spoilers below)
There were three moments that tried to connect this story to the larger franchise. Won't go into more detail
The animation was great, especially during night sequences. Looked like there were some live-action (or pretty good renders) mixed with animation.

My expectations were kinda mixed, but I was positively surprised
