I would watch a mini series of a Gandalf slice of life story. Like "Gandalf goes to Rivendell and gets ridiculously stoned with Elrond and Arwen". "Gandalf drops in on Beorn for tea". "Gandalf meets a friendly archivist and together they do important research".
Gandalf clearly had some interesting adventures between when he left Bilbo's house to do research and when he came back
Like, we really need five hours of content about how he got a rock in his shoe or cut his finger on the page of an old book
He actually fought the Witch King's secret necromancer apprentice who was fucking BADASS but was never mentioned ever again
I will never forgive them for what they did to The Hobbit.
The Necromancer was just sauron tho
I know, I was making up the kind of stupid scenario they usually come up with for these kinds of pointless prequels
Hey, you got a laugh out of me.
That really is the kind of weird retroactive filler they occasionally cram in somewhere. Star Wars is probably the most guilty of that.
Remember DARTH VADER'S SECRET APPRENTICE,
STARKILLERand HIS CLONE.
hey dont talk shit about starkiller
Which one? If you include the old EU he's had like 50!

Doing Gandalf in an Andor style procedural/thriller would be kinda fun.
