Teaser Trailer for Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (aka) The Rings of Girl Power

Well, here we go. Here’s the trailer for Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. You may as well watch. Speaking as huge fan of Tolkien, the trailer will bum you out. This show is a different thing entirely. In the teaser they proclaim ‘based on the work of J.R.R. Tolkien’ or something to that effect. Sure… okay. Maybe The Rings of Power was based on an early outline that Tolkien threw out? You know, before he changed his mind and decided to tell the story that he wanted to tell. Because this trailer isn’t that. It’s not Tolkien. It’s Tolkien adjacent. This teaser looks to be The Rings of Girl Power. How about that Warrior Queen Galadriel?! Huh? That chick is NOT done fighting! She is ready to go on fighting because she’s a badass! When others are ready to give up? She is ready to throw down! Karate chop! Save us warrior queen! So, there’s that. Again, not Tolkien but Tolkien adjacent. The whole show is like a shitty chocolate chip cookie. If they would have followed Tolkien’s recipe? Best chocolate chip cookie ever! However, they decided to make their own recipe. Will it still be a cookie? Yeah. It’ll be meh. You’ll be disappointed but it’s still a cookie. People will eat it. Could have been great. Could’ve been special! But whatever… it’s a cookie. I’s shitty cookie but meh. We’ll all be left wondering what could’ve been if they only would’ve have stayed true to Tolkien.
