After wheel of time, I have pretty low expectations for rings of power. I've gotten the impression that the people making the show don't care about the LOTR legacy and see it more as a springboard for them to do their own thing. The original advertisement campaign focused on how diverse the new series was, it flopped and now they seem to be pivoting to selling it as Peter Jackson style tolkein. The new trailer looks great, but it looks a lot different than the show they were promoting 6 months ago. I hope it's good, but if the first episode sucks I'm out
