Both shows are horrendously bad. I couldn't make it through season 1 of RoP and I did watch all of season 1 of this show. I didn't watch season 2 though so I don't know if I'm the best qualified to answer which is better. This show has more source material and that gets completely butchered on a fundamental level so if you care at all about the books you'll have a hard time getting past that. RoP has much less direct source material so there's less of that specifically, but it's real, real bad.

Same ridiculous dei hires but nothing as annoying as the fat black dwarf lady in rop. Neither show is watchable. Go watch Utred Ragnarson instead.

I don't know... I have watched all of Rings of Powah and Wheel of Time and, from what I remember, Season 1 of Wheel of Time was just as bad as Rings of Power. Season 2 of Wheel of Time was better than Rings of Power season 2, but not by all that much.

I would probably rate season 1 WoT between a 3 and a 4, whereas season 2 was around a 5.

Although I may be overcompensating for my bias, as I know/care nothing about Wheel of Time but the LOTR movies are in my top 10 of all time.

WoT is probably worse.

s1 of WoT is a trainwreck of "where did the money go?" reused sets. incompetent costuming. incompetent lighting, etc.

the main difference is WoT is retelling a specific story. one that it doesn't understand, and seems to actively hate. doesn't understand the world, magic system, etc. its all wrong. The main character, is not the main character... Constantly taking things from Rand, and giving them to random women.


Rings of power got worse over time. Lazier. and it started incorporating more world elements. and making shit up, doing it wrong. mithril, etc. but for the MOST part, since it wasn't based on an actual story, it could be forgiven. its not as damaging. but then as it got to similarils, mithril, gandalf, tom bombadil and breaking the world with its nonsense world building, it got worse. and they are closer to each other in being equally awful.

"some kind of, grand elf!"

RoP can still largely be written off as a bad fanfiction. it doesn't effect Lord of the Rings. the same can't be said for WoT. WoT is the main story being butchered. and its the only mainstream version of it. the only version most people will see. and its actively ruining it.

I never read WoT nor have any idea what its about. So Id probably find it mildly entertaining. But Im a massive Tolkien fan so RoP just makes me beyond furious. Gonna give WoT a whirl with my wife.

Are there any new really ugly non-descript women? That's really the only reason to watch this, for the unattractive mulattos.

Lan and Rand, both men that are hard as nails, do whatever it takes to save the world/Morsine/Nynaeve. How bad are they fucking those two guys in the show? Have they got to the witches imprisoning Rand in the box yet? Wonder how they soft pedal that.

Season 2 was better than season 1, but not by much. Its been a minute, so I cant recall what it was exactly. Season 3, Ive only watched episode 1 and .. they've definitely pushed the gas pedal down a bit more this season. I dont know if thats because its at that part of the book or not cause I didnt read the books.

I can tolerate this show. Rings of Power fucking kills me though.

I've tried watching the first season of the show I guess when it came out, and I don't think I made it past the third episode. I can't get past Perrin being a magician, emphasis horribly cheesy.

I'm assuming it's still a good idea to go ahead and completely avoided like it doesn't exist?

Watching people make fun of all the woke garbage online can be highly entertaining. It's how I discovered nerdrotic back when he had like 200k subscribers. Now he's a regular on cable TV.

What the hell buddy, I thought you were cool. I can't watch that guy because he has a bigger doll collection than anybody I've ever seen, he's also a fag. That's probably because he collects dolls, but according to the left maybe he was just born that way.

I just don't enjoy the nerd rage shit, especially if it's somebody who doesn't know to change a tire or has a nice set of tools. I mean what the hell is your Funko pops the benefit you, unless it's getting people to watch your retarded YouTube channel.

Not sure if you have more intimate knowledge than the general population, but he's married to an attractive woman. Perhaps he's penetrated your anus or something but most laypeople would assume he's straight.

As to his doll collection I've never invoiced it but it's probably worth more than your house. And he's went from a strung out imprisoned druggie to a regular on Piers Morgan so I'd say he's been fairly successful in his chosen field of making fun of Disney marvel/star wars.

Personally I rate him as the best working comedian at the present time. Although his bald buddy Az is a close second!

That dude probably has hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stupid models being paid for by people that have taken him seriously.

Hats off, he's probably made a mint, doesn't mean he's not a faggot, and dicking people that watch his BS.

I know you're some sort of workout dude that immigrated from another forum, but if you honestly think this weirdo is worth listening to, that's kind of screwed up specifically because he's probably the antithesis have the people that you associated with on that forum.

I think this is worse then Rings of power. Rings of power has the excuse of its probably incompetence. they just don't understand Tolkiens work. also, don't have the rights. and also, are just dumb. They legit think their Galadrial is a hero to be looked up to, not the shows primary antagonist.

Here. they actively hate the Wheel of time. they are purposely undermining every aspect of the story. morianne is the main character. Every moment of power is taken from Rand and given to some random women. Rand having a harem is icky, so the women are all in lesbians with each other, and also Rand can so get NTR'd in the corner. one power and true power are the same. But also, Men need to surrender to the one power, and women need to take control of it. matt is evil. min is a dark friend. none of this is accidental.

yes, watching people lose their minds reviewing trash like this is fun.



she has vids for every episode, but just the epi1 of each season here.

I don't really care what his sexual preference is or how many dolls he plays with. He is entertaining and that's enough for me.

the Elane Avaenda lezbo scene kinda makes sense given how they're fuckin' joined at the hip in the books.

I can't believe people actually watch this. The books were pretty bad by the end but at least were good at one point. The show has never been decent much less good. Of all the things you can waste your time on, this is the choice? That's pretty damn sad especially considering this forum.
