We have witnessed a special evolution.Lord of the Rings‘ which concerns his public perception: from a series unanimously despised by viewers to certain impressions, a modest praise of his show, and Tolkien’s vision of the world, and in general confirming what we are. is counted a few weeks ago. Not intended for fans of the series, but for a wider audience.
A history of contempt. No recent series has been more openly rejected by anti-excitement activists and with a less cryptic ability to accept changes to the original material. How did this manifest in nature? In too many rotten tomatoesIn Amazon to make decisions close scores from IMDB and the Prime Video platform itself. audience they seemed to be enough for Amazon, although it has also been commented on by external studies fell 50% in the second season.
Better the second time. However, there is some improvement in the reception of the series: primarily, on Rotten Tomatoes. score in the second period on the part of fans not so abysmal, although still low. And the reviews were positive, too of his in terms like “the biggest leap in quality ever in the series”. Our colleagues at Espinof praised his views as visual and spoken “a surprise at the end of the season“. Even in some social networks greater tolerance to the series as a wholeperhaps because the viewers realized that the dryads were actually American elves, it didn’t matter much.
…but not everything desirable. That didn’t stop us from seeing great reviews too, of course. In 3D Games The final twist of the season, lamenting the “moment of genuine shame” that they reinvented the origin of the main character’s name in the original trilogy. And on the French website Jeux Video The story is about “the greatest betrayal ever committed by the Lord of the Rings University” because of Peregrine’s identity, which contradicts Tolkien’s texts. Of course, we can choose positive and negative reviews ad nauseam, but for example we can find one of the lime and the other sand almost without effort.
Series on non-fans. I had said then that it would be difficult for Amazon to launch the series at a price CD million in time to satisfy only Tolkien readers (of which there are many, but if Peter Jackson’s films are successful in their time, it is because they have progressed further and even people outside the world of readers’ imaginations are drawn, in addition to forming a new creation of fans. – which I am now complaining about, of course – ). The first video was supposed to go even further and reach a more general audience.
There is something. For listeners, perhaps, the episodes are like one the war of Eregion Not only does it bring the classic battles familiar to everyone, such as the ones here about the Gurgit Helm, but it also offers enough doses of emotion and epicness. Hence, for example, the focus on Sauron for several chapters (Tolkien might not have approved such a familiar approach to his villain, but it is the first time that the writer of a popular series contemplated the main nemesis of the series). As a result, the series is even heavier and more violent than the first season, clearly looking for a more commercial texture. However, this does not convince everyone, but the series is gradually finding an audience.
