The Desecration of Tolkien's Works Continues...

Amazon destroys Tolkien again
The Rings of Power Season 2 Review
“The canons of narrative in any medium cannot be wholly different; and the failure of poor films is often precisely in exaggeration, and in the intrusion of unwarranted matter owing to not perceiving where the core of the original lies.”   - JRR Tolkien
 
Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power Season 2 Episode 1 is a pathetic slog that completely ruins Sauron as a credible villain, soiling the character and dispelling ANY mystery or awe this once terrifying character ever had. And the rest of it sucks TOO! Here is my detailed analysis of WHY this show fails, and WHY there is no real hope that it can recover! (Note: This review has spoilers, but honestly who cares?)
