Having this air during the same time as House of the Dragon totally ruined this show. The differences and quality and realness was like night and day
Just because you prefer a certain type of show dont make it more "real."

A lot if effed up shyt happened during rings of power, just not minute by minute effed up shyt like game of Thrones. And of course, they wasn't cursing each other out.

Strongly disagree

Those weeks when you got a new episode from both shows were :ohlawd:

HOTD gave your grimy politicing while you got the blockbuster PG spectacle from Rings.

Tolkien was never a great writer but his world building was second to none.

And House of the Dragon went out they way not to do unwanted nudity or sexposition so what are we comparing Rings of Power too, woke, gay agenda laden House of the Dragon?

Im not talking about effed up shyt or cursing, but story telling. Having a random town person call the Queen of Numenor “elf lover” because of a single elf who wants to leave makes no sense. And its not even brought up again. Or Galadriel not having enough sense to make a connection of the symbol and the Mountain range of Mordor after searching for Sauron for hundreds of years.

Even from an immersion aspect, you’re given wide ranging views of Eregion and Khazad dum only to have the rest of the scenes take place in mostly rooms or caves with 3 characters max.

House of the dragon was nothing like that. And while both are different stories you can tell there were lapses in the writing in RoP.

Its wasnt about the PG or mature aspects between the two but the production, writing, immersiveness etc

it just made me realize that LOTR was trash because of how good HOTD was--it wasn't just a tonal shift/difference. The quality of the writing and acting was night and day.
