So which paragraph are they going to extrapolate out into 10 episodes?

Jackson did OK with LOTR although I think his three films showed a steady decline in quality and adherence to the books.

His Hobbit movies? OMG. Awful. Just awful. And why more than one??

Assuming the base material is from “The Silmarillion” there is more than enough material to “flesh out” a “Game of Thrones” like series.

IF done properly(not like “The Hobbit”)

If I understand correctly, this is not the LotR, or The Hobbit, but the earlier periods from The Silmarillion and The Unfinished Tales.
There is a LOT of unique material there, like the tale of Beren and Luthien or The Fall of Gondolin, and plenty room for Amazon to work with it.
