Wassup Wit Dat?!?

The part of the forum where the silliest things happen. Conversations that sound like they belong here, will be moved here. Maybe.

Season 1 has 84% of 489 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes whilst Season 2 has 84% of 170 reviews.

So there's that.

I haven't watched it, so I am not offering any opinion on the show. Fine wid me if you enjoy it.

Rotten Tomatoes says that the hoity-toity media reviewers give it 84%.... but the actual audience give it 49%.
This is typical for woke movies that tickle the elite agenda but piss off audiences. High score with media reviewers, low score with audiences.

49% is actually pretty good audience score for a woke show. The disparity is often much greater.

Unless negro Hobbits piss people off, I dunno what could be the prob.

Maybe it's the Harfoots' habitual migrancy?

Hmphf. There aren't enough of your MAGA-phantoms in existence to move the needle one way or the other.

Critical Drinker really hates the Mary Sue girl-boss themes, more than anything else. And the chance-meetings of plot devices....

Drinker has done several take-down reviews, episode by episode.

But I think this is one in which he lays out the systemic problems with Rings of Power and why audiences haven't embraced it.
