House of the dragon and lord of the rings

Which will be the bigger success?

Has there ever been an Amazon show even a quarter as popular as GoT at it's peak?

They are both flops

Game Of Thrones is the bigger name with normies nowadays, but LoTR hasn't shit the bed yet. It will with this one of course, but GoT is legitimately hated now, and not just by book die hards.

What's your definition for success? If you mean who will get the most viewers then that's going to be Rings of Power and it won't even be close

Which will be the bigger failure?

>but LoTR hasn't shit the bed yet
It shat the bed once Amazon changed the source material

I have zero expectations for Rings of Power so House of the Dragon. Hopefully they have the writers from the first few seasons of GoT for HotD

Dumb argument, the movies made loads of changes to the source material (literally hundreds) and were still very successful with normies
Book autists are always a tiny fraction of the overall audience

Of course, but not with normies who don't pat attention to that kind of thing. They'll just tune it regardless.

cute girls

>Hopefully they have the writers from the first few seasons of GOT
DnD got ditched and Cogman went to work on Rings of Power, so it won't be

I have more faith in an HBO show that has GRRM writing to work off of instead of pure D&D fanfic, than an Amazon original that is unlikely to use any of Tolkien's supplementary material and is primarily interested in "fixing problematic mistakes" of the franchise more than telling a good story.

The source material is literally footnotes from the known story.
Its going to be a shitshow.
Do you see how bad people are trashing obi for the shit cgi?
This is even worse.
And lets not even start on the inappropriate blacks

They didn't spend all that money just to 'fix problematic mistakes' you fucking schizo

>The source material is literally footnotes from the known story
No, the known story is literal footnotes. It's doesn't have anything to do with the source material really because there isn't one for this time period.
Tolkien noted the key events and characters involved but that's about it

The known story is lotr retard, this crap is based off the appendices ie footnotes to that.

You gonna get ranged jeffy

book autists are just ahead of the curve
they hated game of thrones by season 4 and the normies had caught up 4 years later

>book autists are able to pre-judge how normies will react to a TV show or movie
Broken clock and all that

that's a gatekeeping super autist
most book readers would like to see a book series they enjoy brought to life on the big screen as long as it faithfully adapted and done competently
this will be neither

normies will probably consume this slop for a while out of sheer curiosity and because of the multi million dollar shilling campaign but their interest will wane like it always does when the next fashionable thing comes along
only the nerd/autist has the combined time and obsessive character to bankroll these fandoms for decades yet the retard execs keep trying to sell them down the river for a market of whimsical fools

What you said is almost identical to the comment here lmao

Don't know but both franchises are equally cucked, so who cares.

Whichever has more niggers and gays in.

i guess we'll see, won't we
i'm not a lord of the rings fan and have never watched any of the movies but the broad consensus these days is that it is faithful to the source material

it's a different age now and it's a statement of pride for writers and execs to preech that the source material is outdated and their show needs to be updated for "modern audiences"
