After watching the Rings of Power to the end, I have no choice but to change my mind. Visually it stands up to GOT, but not Peter Jackson’s Trilogy. Jackson was able to adapt the Tolkiens masters piece with the theme intact, but Amazon has decided to crush his vision with unwanted romances, girl-bosses, and idiotic changes. Tolkien was a story about hope built around world filled with the most magical written characters in fantasy. He is the end goal for all future authors. Amazon has built in their egotistical minds they can write a better narrative. We have all seen the end product, and it doesn’t come close to original timeless journey. Once you listen to how the actors speak, you want shove cotton in your ears to drown out the horrendous bad theatric dialogue. Jeff Bezos with all his billions could not hire a writing staff with an ounce of talent. Every time each character speaks cringe music plays in the background like a Grey's Anatomy episode. Although the orcs appearances are frightful, the costumes for the elf’s and humans are downright dreadful. Yes I admit, at first I was so excited for this series, because my brain was twisted by nostalgi. After waking up, I realize Tolikien has been disrespected beyond repair. I hope Amazon enjoyed checking boxes, because those boxes are bombs smashing fanstay literature we may never see again.
Thank you Jeff, all new and old fans are thrilled you spent our money to throw the greatest piece of imagination into the flames
