I generally enjoyed Amazon's "
The Rings of Power."
Yes, little has polarized the
Tolkien community like
RoP. Oh... except for PJ's renderings... and Bakshi's before him... and every other.
But you're in good company, as there are many who 'generally enjoyed' it... liking what was good (in their opinion) and disliking some other parts of it.
Then there are those who are "all or nothing at all." You must entirely like it, or you must most certainly hate it.
Sadly, few are in the camp able to see both sides of the thing... and those who 'like' it are often very quiet, because the haters are so vitrilic.
At the end of the day, it's all pure opinion.
As we approach the advent of RoP Season 2, we will no doubt see again the baring of fangs and flailing of claws, So it is well to be prepared.
Even here on TTF, where we have worked hard to help people see opinion for what it is, and another's opinion is just as valid as our own, we expect some level of deluge of those unwilling to allow others to live unless they are in agreement with the flood's opinion.
As has been and will always (we hope) be the case here on TTF, reasonable and reasoned discussion will be fine. Unreasonable insistence on agreement will be handled. And flagrant/ongoing abuse of others for their opinions will be elimninated.
No one learns from the entrenched Religion of Opinion. Only from listening twice, speaking once, and mutually discussing thoughts intelligently.
