You nailed it, the silmarillion (even this chapter which is basically the Akallabeth) is an epic, and trying to compress it to a weekly drama strips much of the underlying atmosphere.

This isn't house of the dragon, this is an allegory about man and his mortality under the light of his hubris, and it's not going to have the same script bite as something from grrm.
