You will never make everyone happy, and that definitely applies to Lord of the rings fans. Amazon’s $1 billion TV installment in the popular JRR Tolkien franchise It premiered this past weekend and the series’ reception was… complicated. When it comes to critics’ comments, rings of strength He receives praise. However, a number of fans blew up the series, and as a result, the company behind the show chose to take action.
The explosive review targeted the first two episodes of the show, which launched simultaneously last Friday. For this reason, Amazon has chosen to disable show reviews on Prime Video entirely, as noted Forbes. A similar situation is already happening on the popular media review aggregator site, rotten tomatoes. According to the site, 84% of critics gave it LOTR: Rings of Strength A positive review, a favorable statistic, certifies the series as “new” according to the site’s metric system. However, the fan score is currently 39%, which indicates that the majority of viewer comments skew very negatively.
One might wonder where this dissonance comes from. Well, there seem to be a number of reasons behind that lotter Fans are not satisfied with rings of strength. Some reviews have claimed that the series is unfaithful to OG The series, especially when it comes to portraying some of the characters (some are presented as people of color). TROP It already features a much more diverse set than the previous mods, and the female characters are given more agency and focus as well. Some fans seem to think this differs from how the characters were written in JRR Tolkien’s original work.
However, not all of the poor reception rings of strength It comes from these places of slag. Some believe that Peter Jackson had a better view of the source material, and that fans have such a love for the original trilogy that nothing can measure it. (Jackson stated that he did not participate in the series, claiming that Amazon “satiated him”). Some also believe that the time period in which the show took place is not as compelling as others in the books. For context, the series takes place during the Second Age of Middle-earth, thousands of years before the events of the hobbit.
Regardless of why fans are alienated from the series, it’s fair to assume that the streaming service won’t allow reviews of it anytime soon. The lotter The series was a big investment budget for Amazon, and the authorities seem pretty happy with it. Company founder Jeff Bezos, who provided feedback on the show, also appears to be pleased with how things are developing. With that said, one would expect him and the creative team to continue supporting the show in positive ways while they plan for its future.
The first two episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Now available exclusively to Amazon Prime subscribers. New episodes will be dropped Friday as part of the 2022 TV schedule.
