The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (Prime)

[Apex]

Most people are fully aware that big companies 'pay' for good reviews - you only have to look at the recently released Star Wars Outlaws and how disney gave some sweet Disneyland trips and merch etc to youtubers/'influencers'/etc in exchange for high scores.

Yep just like Outlaws (which now looks incredibly mid), and first time round they had a freebie event in Oxford (I don't know if you reacall) for all the big shill channels. And they all came out mysteriously saying all the same things - because they were fed lines to take. It was so obvious.

Oh yeah and the same thing for The Acolyte, lots of Disney friendly creators on trips paid for by Disney with goodie bags etc, all mysteriously loving a show that cratered.

Season 2, Episode 1 thoughts (Spoilers!):

oh some of it's out already.

Hard to know when the last few pages are all talking about reviews.

Can't all be bad surely...


nothing goods came out in ages now, so I know ya'll will be watching it anyway.

it's like back in the 90s, nothing good on every channel so you just watch whatever the best thing seems to be, and since fallout there's basically been static on every channel?


First ep down, seemed pretty good to me.
Episode one 7/10
