Part 10/10:
In the end, The Rings of Power has become emblematic of a broader industry trend: the unsuccessful attempt to retrofit beloved properties with modern social themes at the expense of original storytelling. Fans have made it clear they are fed up with blatant deviations from Tolkien’s lore and the dismissive attitude of corporate creators.
If trends continue, it’s likely that Season 2 will face the same critical and audience rejection that plagued Season 1. The show’s failure is a cautionary tale, illustrating that true respect for source material and genuine engagement with fans are essential ingredients for success.
