LOTR - Rings of Power

[exiledclaseboy]

Second episode is much better. Scottish dwarves though. Black Scottish dwarves no less. Bloody woke etc.

I’m enjoying it all the more as I read more reactions from Tolkien obsessives banging on about everything that’s wrong with it in their nerdy little heads.

Tooks invented Golf. Therefore Hobbits are Scottish and this show is an abomination.

No hobbits in this show though.

All watched. Mostly a load of boring old pony it has to be said.

Yep. I’m a big fan of LOTR but I kind of kept watching on for the sake of it, to be honest. The wife was enjoying it so I carried on with it.

I think ‘meh’ probably sums it up.

House of Dragons, on the other hand…superb.

"Meh" was exactly what my lad said about it. Pity.

It does look great visually, but the dialog and character motivations are a bit meh. Have heard good things about House of the Dragon by comparison, haven't watched it since the end of GOT was so bad, but sounds like it could be worth it.

I enjoyed it, and Morfydd is great in it as Galadriel, but it did plod a bit....however, for a real plodder then I think House of the Dragon is a lot slower...it's just mostly political wank, with the very, very occasional jawdropper. Both very much worth a watch though....got to say I much prefer This is Wrexham....
