What Say You About Rings of Power?!?

They got 5 season deal i think. So 2 more after the 3rd one.

But its funny how. The movie "War of Rohirrim" is sorta embraced more by the audience, and less by the critics.
And yet "Rings of Power" is embraced by the critics and rejected by the audience

But all i can say.. I saw 7 episodes, and i just fell asleep. Like Aragorn when he lost the Palantir interms of losing his consciousness.
 
Just to add, if there's five seasons one could
also say — three more after the second one.

that's just math

And not that anyone said otherwise but
my post (16) is not necessarily negative.

The post depends on your point of view

 
Bashing? Looks more like informed criticism.

I haven't seen it so can't criticise. However I can say that nothing I have seen or read gives me the slightest desire to watch it.

I can recommend this show "H2O Just Add Water" if you like Mermaids. I have seen all seasons. Its actually quite good!

Also the spin off series called "Mako Mermaids" i also liked but... sadly you can't see all the seasons anymore of that show. Atleast not on Netflix, which is a bummer
 
I must admit I was too fanatic when I predicted the wokeness. Not because in a way it wasn't there but actually I tried learning tolerance and watched the series not with skeptical company, rather than a person fully immersed in Tolkien's ambience and I found the beauty , when I didn't evoke negativity beforehand with biased anticipation . So yeah, definitely sad about the choice of Celebrimbor's actor because he is not young , I got used to Elrond and actually started liking him, I love Annatar's actor, but the major thing that saddened me was just the pacing - it was a bit boring, not much happening at many times . I still haven't watched season 2, so this is for season 1.
In general, I understand they don't have many rights to use from the Silmarillion references, but I watched it without prejudice and I liked it, found out I am a vain girl that wants sexy male charactes, humbled myself about wokeness, shut up and enjoyed it, while still having been a bit bored with the slow choices of frames at time.
deep down it wasn't about wokeness
it was the fangirl in me 🤣😂🤣😂
