LOTR is Sept. abi

during GOT time, there wasn't a successful competitor, except some few people who uses BB to di*k measure it

E never come out oo but i'm already Team HOTD

Baddestguyp:
For those arguing about House of the Dragon and Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power

It's obvious HOTD will be more popular...and it isn't just cos of GOT being more recent ...
Newer generation won't be as invested in LOTR...and it won't be as easy to get into....
LOTR imo focuses a lot on lore...it does have incredible world building but with how focused it is on the lore and how slower paced it is...I don't see how it's viewership will beat HOTD

I mean look at recent movies with similar pacing like Dune and The Northman...
And you can see how conflicting the opinion is of the newer generation...the same people who shitted on these movies will probably shit on LOTR if it's pacing is similar to that of the movies

imo HOTD will be more mainstream

Lol guy stop capping. No one is asking you to defend your favourite fantasy show. You should know everyone has preferences and respect it.

In popularity, LOTR is more popular so forget about that phony excuse you're bringing. That recency talk is laughable, The Hobbit ended in

It's like saying GOT is more popular than Harry Potter because the Potter movies ended in 2011 when we all know Potter is a kids fantasy book. Same as LOTR. It's adapted from children's book so that younger generation talk ain't it. Potter and LOTR sells hundreds of millions of books over the years. While GOT is also very popular I can't say it has reached those milestone. It rose to popularity cos of its mainstream adult content and audience and not helped by any Pg 13 stuff. Abi you know how many years one would have reached before being allowed to watch GOT.
I missed out on season 3&4 of GOT back then cos I no fit watch that content for house with my mum. Na only Spartacus I still dey wonder how I get chance watch am with extreme fast forwarding.

GOT has extensive lore as well as LOTR and might be the only fantasy book to match Middle Earth's scope. The difference is the audience.... One for general audience and one for mainly adults.

The only reason I see LOTR not gaining more hype and love than HOTD is cos of the companies behind both. HBO has an unmatched track record already with GOT, His Dark Materials which Amazon doesn't have with its mixed reception for Wheel of Time. The company also responsible for the early LOTR movies are also the owners of HBO. Funny, as it's the same company WB responsible for another blockbuster Fantasy franchise Harry Potter.
So there's already a competency that Amazon can't or haven't matched. It's not always all about the money spent.

That's where it's glaring cos LOTR is arguably the greatest fantasy movie/franchise of all time. While GOT is the greatest fantasy TV show of all time.
And you'll surely bet on a company behind the 3 BIGGEST fantasy universes over another just trying it hands out.

Baddestguyp:
first, LOTR is not my favorite fantasy show...
I'm a far bigger fan of GOT than LOTR...
But what I know for sure is GOT is currently more popular...

Make a survey and compare those who have watched GOT with LOTR
Even on this thread we all know almost everyone has watched GOT...but I'm willing to bet up to 50% haven't watched LOTR

No one is denying how big the LOTR franchise is...
But let's be honest, in the current generation GOT is far more popular

FergieRaww:


Pu.7pl3 where have i seen this phrase before?

Make Aug 21st do reach oo ... wish they can serve it all at once like Netflix, well that way might kill all the hype lol

Hala Madrid ❗

abduleez1:
The painstaking amount of time put into this series ehn is breathtaking...

Imagine $30mn being thrown out the window after producing and finishing a Pilot episode just cause they weren't feeling the vibes.

I would still appreciate them releasing the single episode just like that. The VFX and production quality for mad.

pu7pl3:


Omo these people get money o

abduleez1:


Too much Money.
That's why I love HBO, they got the funds but they don't just throw money on anyhow projects.

Bruh, MCU is really going hard....


DC better sit up.

abduleez1:


Na the money dey pain me sef on top very interesting story oo... Veryyy tonally different from GOT or HOTD.
We for see Giants, free folk, the Children of the Forest and origin of White Walkers for here. Spanning many interesting things wey we see little of. All just gone like that. And most likely more of Essos.
I find it funny at times when people say or think GOT universe is not expansive. Many tales wey people no know ehn.


Them no know of House Hoare, Harrenhal, Martells, Valyrians, Rhoynars, Velaryons, Blackfyres ... Na only Starks, Lannisters and Targaryens them Sabi and think that's all about A Song of Ice and Fire.
