Note how active the Rings of Power board is compared to this. Also how many more viewers Rings of Power got. It is not looking good for the Targaryens.
shareSo the rings of power in order to be considered a good show has been downgraded from being good to just being better than some other series that airs at the same time?
Doesnt look so hot for Middle-Earth, does it? Or for the Mississippi river(or Amazon, I forget which one)
Both shows are bad.
But Rings of Power is laughably bad
And House of Dragon is just boringly bad.
They stole thunder from each other, really. People talk more about Rings of Power just because they laugh at how bad it is. While House of Dragon is so boring that there is not much to talk about at all.
I wonder what the real ratings are. I think many people who tuned for 1 episode out of curiosity and aggressive promotion - were gone by the third episode. Its bunch of unsympathetic and common face characters being miserable because they are not in line of succession. Thats the whole plot.
When Game of Thrones was in - people discussed every episode and what happened. Here no one cares and there is nothing to discus. Im kinda shocked how mundane this prequel is. They have no material and no character for people to care about. But they spend too many money on it and are now struck with it and cant cancel so they will have to make 4 seasons now, losing money. I assume budget for next season will be much-much lower then they gave on first one.
If they would drop all season netflix style then this tv show would be forgotten completely one week after premiere.
It hasn't. House of Dragons is outperforming it, on on a much smaller budget too.

No thunder. A minor petard-like explosion maybe.
shareThis board is mainly people discussing the plot and characters of the show. Rings of Power's board is mainly people saying how much it sucks.
It's a question of quantity or quality of posting. If you wrote a book, would you rather have 5 reviews saying how fascinating it is, or 30 reviews calling your characters cardboard cutouts and your story cliched nonsense?
House of the Dragon's attention to character development, coupled with good scripts and talented actors, is making Rings of Power look even more terrible by comparison. Even the sets and costumes looks superior, and on a much smaller budget. HBO should be proud, and Amazon should be embarrassed.
