This is unlike other SUB deals posted here, because this show is the biggest thing coming to streaming this year! And like 90% of Ozbargain has PRIME so no one should complain about having to pay to watch this!

Description:
Beginning in a time of relative peace, we follow an ensemble cast of characters as they confront the re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

LOTR haters can stay away from this post please :)

        Is Wheel of Time worth watching/skimming through before reading? Because it could explain the lore and characters a bit even if it's crap?
        And then you'd have the books which would be much better?

        • Menzoberranzan on 02/09/2022 - 14:52

          Honestly it depends.

          If you aren't much of a reader then just watch the TV show and enjoy what you can because the books will take you quite a while. If you enjoy reading and really getting into a long journey of a story, ignore the show and start on the books as the show has ruined certain key concepts of the universe that would make you very confused translating that to the book universe.

    Is there any way to stop these 'PSA's that aren't deals but just tell you when a TV show is streaming?

    • clandestino on 01/09/2022 - 12:09

      Apparently not.

      I've tried blocking them, per the instructions on earlier posts… yet it doesn't seem to work.

    • Moderatorscrimshaw on 01/09/2022 - 12:17

      GIF animation on how to block a certain tag. Works with any tag, not just Streaming Service Addition
      https://imgur.com/S8pNWug

      You can also add SUBS into your list of Title tags and then de-prioritize it by dragging the slider all the way to the left. See Animation

      If the OP forgets to tag Streaming service addition, then having the subs title tag blocked will also do the trick. It's best to apply both types of filters if you want to catch everything in the net.

      If you prefer to not see any Prime Video deal posts at all, just click the "Hide" link under the deal post and click "Hide Deals from Amazon Prime Video".

        I've got a suggestion - what if there was a calendar section that you could check?
        All these new releases, updates to subscriptions (e.g Amazon First Reads, Humble Bundle etc.), and things open for pre-orders could be added there, and we could manually select what we wanted a reminder about.
        Not sure how hard that would be to implement.

            @Tinqer: As a Tolkien fan I don't care if I'm attractive to you or not 😂 You want to watch it, watch it. Just saying that the critics have stopped being a reliable gauge of the quality of a show a long time ago, as they invariably insist on letting their own biases and conflicts of interests dictate the reviews of the shows that they like AND hate. The Terminal List is the best recent example of the latter. Critics hate it, fans love it.

        • sane on 03/09/2022 - 14:51

          Got to say that when you look into the RT audience scores, most of them, 1 or 5 stars, are from people who have never rated a thing before.

          Having watched it, I'd say it would be impossible to give it a true 5 star rating, even if you were generally positive about the idea. In particular the story is slow and the acting ropey - so even if you weren't a Tolkien purist you'd have to mark it down. If you ARE a Tolkien purist however, 1 star is perfectly believable - Tolkien in name only.

          Upshot, yep, I'd say someone has been paying for review spamming.

      Exactly what I’m thinking. It’s the LOTR fans that take issue with it rather than the haters.

      We get a fancy high budget tv show.

      Honestly if they want to rewrite large parts of Tolkien’s works then maybe it should have been an original work that is inspired by Tolkien rather than directly linking it. Of course they wouldn’t do that because they want the IP which carries all the weight from the books and movies

          Caring about consistency with characters, lore and style of the established IP doesn’t make you a “snowflake”. It’s not fair to the fans to piggyback of the success of a beloved franchise by contradicting or damaging previous works.

      Well it's not exactly about perceived canon violations. It's about how it's a quick cashgrab, with Amazon just wanting the IP name to get people. They don't care about the product, just the marketing.
      It's how the cast, screenwriters and producers are blatantly trying to turn the series into something its not. It's not a GoT equivalent, it is a lot more wholesome than constant sex and gory violence, and gender politics. LotR was about self-sacrifice and heroism, not hedonism.

      They even admitted they wanted a 'blank canvas' for the story in one of their interviews. Like, whats the point of signing up for LotR if you want to create your own world and story?

      You can have all the SFX and high budget you want. It does nothing if the writing and plot is simplistic and boring.
