Season 2 of the Rings of Power is over and to many the show simply doesn’t feel like The Lord of the Rings, Middle-earth or anything in Tolkien’s world – and I find this extremely interesting! So in this video we will dive into the Rings of Power - both season 1 and 2 and see what is lacking in terms of the fundamental elements that makes up Tolkien's stories. One thing is getting the lore wrong, but when you work against the fundamental philosophy it not only deviates, but it becomes its own thing. A thing that isn't exactly successful, if we look at the numbers. To put it simply - The Rings of Power is not very good
