Ever since it was announced that Amazon brought the tv rights to The Lord of the Rings back in 2017, fans have been adamant that the series simply doesn’t need to be made. Now, after getting their first good look at The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power trailer, it seems the majority of fans are still really against the upcoming show.
As you can see in the screenshot below, over 134,000 people disliked the recent trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, compared to the 30,000 likes that the video received.
Many fans might not know this is the case, as the Dislike feature was taken away from Youtube back in 2021. Users can still use the dislike button on Youtube, but the results are completely hidden.
The LordThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power debuts on Amazon Prime on Sept. 2, 2022. Currently, there has been no indication regarding what part of Tolkien’s mythology this show will take place within, as the little we’ve seen could take place before, during, or after Frodo and the gang’s journey.
For now, we will just have to wait and see if The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is actually as disappointing as fans seem to think it will be or if it somehow manages to live up to the high bar that’s been set by both the books and previous film trilogy.
