Description
In this episode, I dive deep into the ongoing debate surrounding Rings of Power and respond to the popular sentiment: "If you don’t like it, don’t watch it." As a long-time fan of J.R.R. Tolkien’s works, I explain why walking away isn’t an option for those of us who care deeply about the legacy of Middle-earth. We’ll explore how Rings of Power has failed to capture the heart of Tolkien’s world, why thoughtful criticism is essential, and why this show matters for both long-time fans and newcomers alike. Whether you’re frustrated with the show or discovering Tolkien’s world for the first time, this episode offers insight into why fans are so passionate about getting it right. Join me for an honest breakdown of Rings of Power and its place in the wider Tolkien universe.
