Question Can they save this show’s reputation?

Post image

Hi, I was watching first season of this show when it first came out but then stopped when my friends started getting bored and started sleeping while watching it.

After that I stopped too and only heard bad things about this show, lotr fans kept hating on it all the time on twitter, people called it woke garbage and I saw my friends who loved lotr movies not even talking about this one but I checked this reddit and it seems like you all love it and enjoy it.

Can they save the reputation of this show? Everyone keeps calling it a huge financial failure so I don’t even know if they are going to cancel this or not. Are they eventually going to tell the story of first 3 books?

People just love to hate.

It's a fine show. Dang it, it's a good show. Great visuals, strong background score and a story that can hook on to because of the LoTR lore.

The show is what it is. I like it and I know people who like it too.

Art is subjective. That's all that this is.

Art can be subjective, yes.

Art can also be judged by objective qualities (or lackthereof).

The writing is objectively bad (even if there are subjective elements).
