^^ That's the one, friendly OP.
I don't know much about it, but I do know much of King's Landing was filmed in Croatia. Here are some examples: https://www.kingslandingdubrovnik.com/
No, they're orcs (which are derived from elves). Also, do a small search on the Haradrim and the Easterlings.
For me it's a 6. If it was faithful to the works of Tolkien, it would climb to a probable 9 by the end of season. As it stands, I have to deduct a few points. The visuals save it from being below average.
I like HotD better. More mature, better writing, better characters, not everything is spelled out, the showrunners don't treat viewers as complete idiots. Plus, gory violence and nudity.
Rings of Power is gorgeous to look at, there's no denying that. The technical aspects are masterful. But the story (so far) is bland, the characters are kind of annoying, some full of themselves, and overall unfaithful to the works of Tolkien.
Does this stance also apply to She-Hulk?

"As a proud "I'd rather watch it at home than go to the cinema" man, this irritates me."
Your loss, my friend. This movie deserves to be seen on the big screen.
Spoiler: I like that this character turned out to be a villain. Left room for more appearances.
Just think of that opening sequence as the opening sequence in all of the James Bond movies.
How does that "standing on the shoulders of giants" quote goes? It's applicable here.
"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."
"Top Gun: Maverick" is a better film, but it exists because of the original. We can't ignore that it's standing on "Top Gun"'s "shoulders".
The original "Top Gun" did the same thing. We don't know who is the enemy. If anything, in "Top Gun: Maverick" we kinda can guess who it is by the planes they have.
Spoiler: Iran (the only country, apart from the US, who had/has F-14s).
Why is the MCU your immediate thought?
Considering the quality of "Top Gun: Maverick" and considering how bland and stale phase 4 of the MCU has become of late, I think joining the MCU would be a bit of a downgrade. To play which character, exactly?
Anyway, he had a chance to play Iron Man back 2008 and he decided not to. The role, of course, went to Robert Downey, Jr.. I don't think he'll go that way if offered today. He likes to control the projects he stars in and I don't think that's feasible anymore with Marvel, because of all the interconnectivity between movies and TV shows.
No, what I meant is that he'll continue to do the opposite of "sinking", which he has been doing for years (even decades). He has been producing the projects he stars in. He has the two upcoming M:I movies which, apart from the second one, have been top quality films. He still has the other project on the ISS with Doug Liman. And the rumored/announced sequel to "Edge of Tomorrow".
I saw the movie yesterday, and to answer your question: absolutely not. It probably will end doing the exact opposite.
Yep, she is different from the original Uhura, but I still like this character. She seems relatable and humble.
I don't agree with the title, because I don't think it will reach that TNG quality.
But having seen the first episode, it gives trekkies hope for a better quality Star Trek Universe than we've been getting lately.
It's not perfect, and it has its rough edges. I saw a situation that could have been solved with diplomacy, but where they quickly resorted to violence. And dialogue of one or another character that is very 21st century-like. These two are, fortunately, somewhat uncommon problems, since the episode also shows that these imperfections can be overcome.
If it continues like this, if the first episode is an indicator of what's to come, and assuming it doesn't descend into the major problems of shows like "Discovery" or "Picard", it easily, and by far, manages to be the best that Star Trek has offered in recent years.
It really has to stay on this course and not stray from here. Fingers crossed.
Still Tom Cruise, I think.
There's rumors getting around that, while "1883" is over, we might get another "Yellowstone" prequel called "1932", around the time of the prohibition and the Great Depression: https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a39096738/1883-season-two/
I'm with you there. I like Jimmy, but come on, it's like they throw themselves so quickly that he doesn't even have to "work" to get them.
And the writer did this twice already. It's easily the most forced sub-plot on the show.
I haven't read the book, but some that did have said the actor fits the description of this character quite well.
