Seems Amazon's LOTR Prequel Is A Flop

They took some liberties with the lore. I kinda liked it tho. Galadriel being a warrior and seeing herself as lesser than Gil-Galad and Elrond was kinda weird tho.
 
Watched it, it didn't seem to have the grab of the originals. It did get me thinking about the whole lotr story. What did the ring really do? It made Bilbo invisible and drove alot of people mad, but other than that???
The One Ring basically put all the folks with lesser rings under it's owner's control, or at least influenced them in different ways.

The Nazgul in the movies were the 9 humans that got these 'lesser' rings, and you saw what happened to them once the One Ring was created and could control all the rest.

IIRC, it was like a turbo-Viagra. That’s what drove people mad, if they were stuck with a raging boner and couldn’t score.
 
Wheel of Time was a train wreck.

They might as well have made a new original production.

If you changed the names of the characters and places it would have been.

But this is coming from someone who read the books through several times before this series was even thought about.

Ok, so going by my memory. ( I did watch the whole serie again a week ago) the rings were given out to elves, dwarfs and men and a super duper one to rule them all. Then a guy lobed off the guys finger and got the ring. Then somehow it got in a lake and was found by smeegle. He kills his friend and turns into Gollum and goes to live in a mountain. Later Bilbo finds it and uses it to help kill a dragon and keeps it on a mantle as a souvenir. Then a fellowship decides to destroy it and does. Ok, I'm jaded. But, I didn't see it used to rule much. I guess in real life somethings evil potential is scaryer than what happens when people do what's right. Imo
