Fandoms are curious things. The scale of them can be an indicator of quality in some cases. Sometimes it is a niche within a niche.

I love the lord of the rings.

I love the hobbit.

I adore the films made for the above!!

I cannot wait to see War of the Rohirrim.

I am giddy to see the Hunt for Gollum.

Rings of power is a thing. Incredibly expensive and very well made from a technical standpoint. It somehow left me hollow and annoyed. I’m quite sensitive about my stories! If I feel underwhelmed by an adaptation of something I care for it miffs me! ‘Napoleon’ anyone!? Bloody Ridley Scott. 10 more alien films, not one question answered only 10 more posed!!!!!!!!

better something than nothing right!?

Facebook groups for the Lord of the rings films are at 11million subscribers.

the hobbit films are at 6.5 million.

rings of power? 0.1 million.
sorry? 100th of the fan base? What’s happened!

I was ever hopeful for more miniatures from the rings of power before I saw it, can’t wait for the new Rohirrim fellas and the hunt for Gollum! Don’t want Rings of power. Seems GW agree also. What’s going on? How did it miss the mark so majorly?

Yeah, it’s a weird one to try and analyse. I don’t get all the hate for it but it has left me ambivalent about it. Perhaps it is the lack of a sense of danger? We know so much about where the character end up, it’s hard to feel overly invested in the journey.
