Just wondering. The show seems to be in kind of an… odd state. I only watched the first episode, didn’t love it, none of my friends expressed positive feelings…
… but it’s got pretty good critical reviews, it’s getting a second season this year, and honestly it often “looks good” from promotional material.
Is it worth giving a second shot? Is anyone looking forward to the second season?
I understand people appreciating the ring of power for being inclusive but boy is that just a super dishonest representation of LoTR.
Literally the fellowship is a multiracial group, two of which being bitter rivals. Both of which probably having not much regard for humans due to the ring not being destroyed. The fellowship forming and succeeding occurs only because multiple different races put their prejudices aside and work together.
One of the “pretty women who pop up to kiss them” resists probably the greatest temptation in the story in which her power would make her “a dark queen” and provided the fellowship with multiple life saving items.
Eowyn literally kills the witch king and had the famous “I am no man” moment. A woman who was ignored and dismissed turned the tide of that battle.
