I couldn't even get through the first episode of Rings of Power.

I'll try to give it another chance, but that kinda fantasy has never interested me, so it's difficult to care about elves, light vs dark, etc., for me.

They're both about cavemen running around with swords

No.

I'd be inclined to agree so far but that's mostly out of personal taste.

Rings of Power definitely looks better, or at least isn't keeping things confined to one building.

They made some elves Black or something.
(Also the customes seem to suck, but that's probably unrelated. )

You're including minor characters? So count up how many white people there are in total

The worst thing about Rings of Power was the awful first episode. I wonder how many people tuned out before the first episode was done, or just decided they didn't care enough to watch the second episode after finishing the first? It just didn't do a good job of making you care about the characters or the world. The second episode was much better, but it still felt like stuff was just happening without any build-up, and it isn't easy to like Galadriel.

Rings of Power is The Wheel of Time's inverse: The Wheel of Time started incredibly strong but ended terribly. This is doing the opposite, and it's not hard to see why it might be getting bad reviews.

Yes, the show that featured one of the most painful things a woman can endure for the sole purpose of pleasing a man, and a black character (that people complain about!) for the same reason of the lotr show!)

I think you're focusing way too much on negative energy if that's your take from HotD. Most people I've spoken with think Corlys is badass.

Also, I think you fundamentally misunderstood the scene you're referencing if you think they put it in the show to appease male viewers.

Haven't watch it either for that same reason. Guess I'm stuck watching old stuff again, don't want to give my views or cents to this woke stuff anymore I guess.

The second episode is much better. The slow first episode is probably why two of them dropped at once.
