“Rings” has turned out to be a woke mess and would not be surprised if the other isn’t also.

Hard pass.

[SauronOfMordor]

I think the Rungs of Power, not based on Tolkien, will be a hot mess.

With lots if “Elves of Color”.

[Republican Wildcat]

Woke mess Rings of Power is looking like.

It goes without saying since the other one is a prequel to a porn series it is probably woke by default.

[Arcadian Empire]

The Rings of Power will probably have woke themes and woke characters and that will destroy it.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Anyone with respect for authors living or dead should not touch “Rings of Power” with a 10 foot battle lance.

[TomGuy]

As with game shows, reality shows, superhero shows and movies, the genres get saturated and viewers eventually tire of them.

Make one blockbuster and a dozen similar will appear magically in a short time.

[gibsonguy]

They are both woke crap. The leftist Machine is scrambling to save them after the promos got slammed big time.

[Caipirabob]

CEASE THIS FAGGOTRY AT ONCE!

[Caipirabob]

A perfect opportunity to not get involved. We know HBO will screw us over with crappy writing between gay porn orgies, then insult the entire audience with a crap fest finale like the first series. We know the Amazon take on LOTR is so misguided and non-lorefriendly, so incredibly woke as to be completely irrelevant, even before they get to the gay porn orgies. To hell with both shows, I will never watch then, and shove that misogynistic racism right up your “corresponding gender parts.”

I feel better now. /rant off

[Caipirabob]

I should add /rhetorical rant off

[unlearner]

If Amazon screws up LOTR by going woke or trying to ramp up sexuality by copying Game of Thrones, I’ll cancel my Prime membership just like I canceled Netflix. I also won’t feel at all guilty if I selectively watch bootleg copies of their movies and series. Casualties of the culture wars.

[Dr. Sivana]

When I had Prime, I did get interested in “The Man in the High Castle”. Except for one episode written by someone else (theme: Nazis taking LSD), the rest of the series was exceptional despite the fact that I later learned that it was only inspired by the short book. By Season 3, they made one of the more sympathetic characters into a homo pervert. As soon as he’s kissing another guy I turned it off. For good. I hope their tracking got that. I also canceled Prime.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

C'mon Amazon. I've Read The Silmarillion. I know the stories. And I wouldn't spend a dime on HBO.

Where the hell is Ringworld!?

We want Ringworld!

Need me some Prill and Teela!

[minnesota_bound]

The reviews I have seen are saying the shows are no good and woke.

Here is a video meme on Lord of the Rings that is funny.

I have been anxiously awaiting House of Dragon! But, seeing the looks of the Actors in the trailers, the aura is not appealing what so ever. It was such a turn off, I may wait before I shell out a few buck for HBO stream...

[NetAddicted]

Sounds like that other HBO series which did very well in the ratings, and which my brother watched. He never watches TV, but he’d read that book or books. Guy taught himself to read by 3, so TV is too dumb for him.

[minnesota_bound]

They spent a fortune and will never make the money back.
