While I am quite excited about the Walton Goggins-infused Amazon Fallout series, the show debuted some promo art for the project ahead of official stills or footage and…it appears to be AI generated.

      WoT was utter garbage. LOTR was meh to good depending on who you talked to. They are definitely not on the same level.

        I’m in the LOTR was good camp. I liked how it took its time. It felt vast and expansive but still coherent. And it was beautiful to look at. I hope the subsequent seasons can keep the quality up despite the changes to production.

        Yeah, I enjoyed my watch of LOTR: ROP. I’m a big Tolkien fan too. I read the trilogy and hobbit once a year and the silmarillion once every three or four (it’s dense af). ROP wasn’t an accurate adaptation, but it’s a fun fan fic that I felt was respectful to original material. Plus it has some awesome visuals and great sound track. There’s definitely things to criticize about it. It’s far from a perfect show, but it’s not bad. I’ll probably do another watch through when the next season gets closer to being released.

        WOT though, it hurt my heart…

            Everything you described is very common in fan fics and why I called it as such. I don’t disagree with your points (most of them), but I do disagree with the severity of the condemnation for those points. I thought it was fine, not stellar, not terrible, it was fine and enjoyable for what it was. A high budget fan fic made by people who respected the lore but wanted to do their own take. Which is what Rankin/Bass and Jackson both did as well. Those are fun too. A huge amount of book fans were livid with Jackson for the changes he made in his adaptation too when the films released. If you think ROP is inaccurate then definitely don’t go back and watch the Rankin/Bass cartoons, you might blow a gasket.

      Thinking about all the money wasted on the LOTR show that could have gone into other programming.
