Not sure why they are bothering after churning out two awful seasons so far.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I disagree about awful. They've delivered two mediocre seasons so far. Which is to say some storylines have been awful, but some storylines have been great.

I really enjoyed the Celebrimbor storyline last season for example.

When writing my comment I nearly said mediocre but then changed it. Mediocre felt generous to me.

It's probably being funded by all the tech bro Tolkien "fans" in Silicon Valley.

Something something sunk cost fallacy.

Enjoyed both. I feel like they did great for season 2. I’m happy so far with the product. I must be the minority. But I enjoy it.

Me and my wife also like the show. Isn't the best show ever made, it's OK. Not everything needs to be 10/10 to be enjoyable.

Nah, It's really not nearly as bad as some of the true believers want it to be.

Because they know that die-hard middle-earth fans want something to watch that's middle-earth related since the LOTR movies and Hobbit movies have long been done. Least until they decide to reboot both of them like 20 or more years down the line.

Fellowship of the Ring (the movie) turns 25 next year. I'm shocked that there isn't a reboot in the works already.

[–] Ilandar@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago

Maybe there will be a TV series adaptation if the Harry Potter show performs well.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

i hope not, rop already ruined it. and the hobbit wasnt that good.
