But they would be losing more money if they don't do it, because they already expended too much ...
...its not like they are expending much to do this shit anyway

Make up your mind, lol.

[Syegfryed]

Make up your mind, lol.

your brain didn't handle those concepts?

If they stop now, they would lose money, but if they keep doing, they don't, because its cheap and it advertise for shareholders at amazon.

If doing it, outweigh the losses, then they stop

If it isn't losing Amazon money then that would mean it is making a profit and successful, right? It is also hilarious to see you call one of the most expensive shows cheap.

No, you rly have a limited amount of effort into understanding basic shit right?

They not losing money doesn't mean they would make profit, they would be losing more money by not doing, still losing, but not as much as if they stop.

It is also hilarious to see you call one of the most expensive shows cheap.

- Garbage writers
- Mid to mediocre actors
- Bad figurine
- Mostly CGI/Green screen

seems pretty cheap to me, all the money went to buy the rights and maybe some laundry scheme

- Mostly CGI/Green screen

I agree on the other points, but the CGI made for the show is definitely not on the cheap side. The quality is amazing in most shots, most often ruined by bad logic in writing, but the effects themselves look good. I think a lot of, if not most, money went to the CGI.

1-0=1.

If they are not losing money then there are two options. Break even or profit.

What i meant to say is they are not traveling or expending time on real sets to film the scenes, making things cheaper.

No, there is the option to stop doing and they lose 5, or they keep doing it and lose 2.

[rhorle]

No, there is the option to stop doing and they lose 5, or they keep doing it and lose 2.

Why would they lose 5 for not continuing the show?

[Syegfryed]

Why would they lose 5 for not continuing the show?

Because they already paid for 5 seasons, not doing it would make a bigger of a hole in losses than continuing. By commiting to the doomed project, they don't make profit, at all, but at least don't lose as much as they would be if they stop, because they can still advertise, include in content for prime and say good stuff for shareholders with their fake numbers

If they straight up stop, they don't gain anything to offset the loses, they don't have content for prime video and their image is damaged

[rhorle]

The $250 million isn't a recurring fee. It wouldn't make a bigger hole because they already paid that amount. It is the same hole.

It is also hilarious that you think Amazon would lie to shareholders with fake numbers. They are not dumb enough give an easy lawsuit and face fines from the SEC. It is even more hilarious that you think Rings of Power is their only content on Prime Video.

[Easo]

Finally watched it.
First season was more or less acceptable (except all the elves looking like tired middle aged people, did they seriously could not find pretty actors??). I liked the music, the graphics (billion gotta go somewhere) and I guess how Mordor was made (heresy, I know).
Second season... Orc families with orc babies, orcs vs Sauron, yeah, screw that. At least the elves got a better make-up artist if nothing else.

Oh, fine, soundtrack gets a big plus too. McCreary got the big break.

Jumping straight to the end of the 2nd Age and the War against Sauron, with last episode being dollar store version of the intro from Fellowship, finally canning off the series.

And 1-2 episodes for the entire fall of numenor, absolute cinema

Thank god they arent going with the 4-5 season plan. If they could only can wheel of time as well

Did you even read? They are skipping a few years straight into the war of elves and Sauron. The first war where Numenor in the end saves the day and captures Sauron. Not the war of the last alliance against Sauron.

They are still committing to 5 seasons and thats great because season 2 was fantastic.

Yes, it was fantastic¹ anyone made something that fantastic².

1.fantastic - "Not believable; implausible; seemingly only possible in fantasy."

2.fantastic - "Resembling fantasies in irregularity, caprice, or eccentricity; irregular; grotesque."

Amazon's Rings of Power is to Tolkien's Second Age as the movie I, Robot is to Asimov's story I, Robot.

"‘The Rings of Power’ Officially Renewed for Season 3, Plans Major Time Jump"

Its not really that much of a surprise, when you have the Lord of the Rings IP, you got to keep producing.


But the major timeskip atleast gives a chance to clean out some bad actors and get some new actors in as aged up versions of like Isildur and new characters in that age.

Yet its not like a new season or a timeskip will change the major problems with the show - It is simply fighting too much against the source material and don't know how to make a unique story.

Its been the same with the wheel of time. The IPs are there to give a name to the show, but the show itself often just ends up being something completely different.

It was fantastic how they made something so terrible indeed.

Galadriel making out with Elrold and having romantic feeling for Sauron is truly tolkien vision made to life

I cant wait for the horrors and lore assasinations amazon will unleash in season 3

How dare you! There shall be no positive comments here! Look what you've done... you've made people selectively choose definitions of the word "fantastic" to show how you're oh so very wrong. That's just mean of you.
