Prequel even harder and pry the Silmarillion rights from the cold, dead bodies of the Tolkien Estate, then run it into the ground with new films, or worse, a TV show.
Better yet, don’t pry the right, so you have to come up with entirely new stories and new characters outside of what you already own the rights to! It’ll be great!
Judging by a couple of blog posts I’ve seen on it, it fucking sucks, especially if you actually care about Tolkien’s Middle Earth setting. Also has a lot of battles that usually make no fucking sense.
I watched the first season and it made me lose IQ points. Do you like a show with lots of references to things that you know while it acts like there’s some suspense over what this new magical metal they discovered is, the identity of this wizard that’s hanging around with some hobbits, etc? That’s Rings of Power.
It’s the most boring origins story of everything from the movies while they seem to expect people to have their minds blown by the reveals like “OMG! that’s mithril! Wow! that’s Gandalf!” They were too busy trying to make very obvious things out to be big reveals it got in the way of there being interesting characters or a good story. The place where a lot of story takes place becomes a volcano land in single a day just so they can make a big reveal that it’s Mordor… it’s that ridiculous.

Is this a Rings of Power joke? I haven’t watched it, so I really don’t know.

Yeah, I was interested before it released, but everything I heard about it after made me not bother.
