    In exhibit number one, we have a dogshit billion-dollar fanfiction titled Rings of Power.

    In exhibit two, a game that nobody wanted, around events that didn’t happen, with characters nobody cares about, that shouldn’t have been made: Gollum.

      Sure, but results in the past give no guarantees about how successful a future endeavour can be.

      I’m not trying to take a side here, but just reserving judgement.

        I’m not talking about success but quality and respect for the source material. Rings of Power could’ve raked in all the money in the world and made every self-titled critic that wasn’t even alive in 2003 cream their jorts, and it would still be a fucking travesty.

        In case it’s not obvious, I have a deep loathing for current year WB.
