      Perverting classic stories to fit modern political agendas and diversity quotas was a mistake.

    Is Rings of Power actually good? I watched about 30 mins of an episode and it was just a bunch of average looking women talking. Nothing interesting happened the whole time so I just turned it off.

      Its okay if you're into Tolkien and stuff and dont care about diversity being forced into it.
      It has great stories like the dworfs and Elrond and the "not-hobbits" story, but on the other side it has storylines that make you go "oh no its this fricking guy again".
      the writing overall is very bad and it can feel very smoll, like

      I havent watched House of Dragon yet, only Rings of Power.
      Is it somehow more "epic"? It's kinda hard to explain, but I thought with lotr having the biggest budget of any TV show ever made, it would have some bigger scale.
      The battles are max 20 dudes vs 20 dudes, everything looks so small, it reminds me of Vikings season 1
      Where did all the money go, I dont understand

          Its my personal opinion.

          If you want a non-personal opinion:
          It is not good but its not as bad as people say it is. It has its good moments but more bad moments.
          If you like the Tolkien Universe give it a try, if you don't, do not bother

                Listen I can tell you think it is mediocre but you keep bringing up how one should give it a try if one likes the Tolkiens world or how it is ok if one likes Tolkien. But I am into Tolkien and that is the number one reason I fricking hate this absolute abomination of a show. I can see how morons that just see a generic fantasy show could think it was just some mediocre little diversion, wich it is not it is moronic all on its own, but how a fan of lotr or hobbit or anything by the old coot could like this makes me irrationally angry.

      nothing has happened all season, loads of boring dialogue between empty characters. But then suddenly absolutely everything happened in a single episode where we have an attempt at recreating helms deep but in a tavern, and mount doom erupting. Several hours of total nonsense, and then an hour of "oh yeah Mordor and Mount Doom are a thing now" - The pacing is abysmal

      And these awful characters, they congratulate each other over how amazing they are, it's unbelievably cringe to watch such narcissism being passed off as the people you root for

      HotD is like early GoT. It has a smaller budget but it's mostly politics, backstabbing and character rivalries with the occasional violent or sexual scene. If you're into that stuff you'll enjoy it.

      HotD reminds me of Rome more than GoT, honestly. A bunch of side characters that aren't really explored with the bulk of the time dedicated to three or four main characters, who are the only ones who have real arcs because they're the "historical" players. I like the approach, it's more intimate, but I wouldn't expect GoT going in.

      Production values are off the chain though, the battle scenes do look really good.

    What's the point of a high budget if you don't hire skilled people to work on your show?

    It isn't tho. It's just a soap opera for normies with a little bit of fantasy tropes here and there.

    It's neo-fantasy unrelated to any past tales or historical epics. Even Dragonslayer from the 80s had more depth than these as it tried to create a world in its entirety rather than putting it together piecemeal.
