The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and destroy what is good

This show is so bad, other sites like imdb where I normally do reviews, won’t let people review the Rings of Power! The review I’ve submitted a bunch of times on imdb, and it seems to have disappeared into the ether: There are some great looking shots in this. There is where 2 stars come from. But having some stunning visuals does not make a show great, or even good. I would like to know how much they spent on writers. That was definitely a part they skipped out on the bill. This is what 1 billion dollars gets you? Feels like old Bezos got fleeced. I think if you convince yourself the show had a budget of 1 million per episode and you may enjoy it more. As a studio you have Tolkien’s world, and works beloved by many 10’s of millions the world over. What level of incompetence and narcissism does it take to think you know better and you should start changing the fundamental character characteristics, and world lore in that world? "Tolkien write, this he did not" -- Probably Yoda.
