I know everyone is saying don't watch the show, but I'll probably watch an episode or two at least, and here's why:
TheQuartering, Heelsvbabyface, Disparu, Geeks & Gamers, Nerdrotic, Critical Drinker and countless smaller right-wing pundits have been slamming The Rings of Power relentlessly for 6+ months. They release videos almost every other day talking about how terrible the show will be and they've been making a ton of bold claims along the way.
At this point I want to watch the show in order to evaluate whether these right-wing pundits are just grifters appealing to their right-wing audiences or whether everything they've been saying is measured and reasonable. This is a valuable opportunity to judge for myself how reasonable these pundits really are.
I usually trust those guys, but with so many people watching House of the Dragon I'm not sure anymore.
Dumb as the race-swapping/gay stuff is in Rings, there's something about black valayrains that really drives me up the wall. An inbred family that is obsessed with purity marries blacks? How much more stupid can you get?
I understand. I watch some of them and really enjoy Nerdrotic and Geeks and Gamers but yea I can get expressing their opinions but endless videos is pointless until they have something to review. Granted at this point my red flags are up when they constantly highlight race/representation like Amazon is doing
Stfu, Amazon's on marketing destroyed any credibility this show could have had. Just say you want to consume mindless schlock shitting on Tolkien's legacy and be done with it. No need for all the mental gymnastics.

Be courteous, be ethical, and be responsible. Pirate that shit bitch.

I did the same
The writing is clunky af, and so is the movement. No grace
Elrond and Celebrimbor are wearing hairspray wigs from the 60s that elvis would be envious of.
