    Is it just me, or had anyone else lost all hope for good Lotr shows after Rings of Power? I saw lots of potential squandered by poor writing, and I fear more Lotr content is just going to be more content, not good stories.

      It didn’t affect me as all, as I didn’t watch it.

      With the infinite amount of excellent content available online, there is no point on wasting your time and attention or mediocrity. It was obvious from the news before launch that it will suck, so I waited, and the reviews confirmed it, so I didn’t bother.

        It wasn’t obvious it would be bad before release, much of the compliants I saw were mostly unfair criticism made in bad-faith.

        It wasn’t exactly bad, it just wasn’t good like it could have been.
