I think it’s funny how Korey said he didn’t want it to put one show against another, and then this video gets uploaded with that thumbnail.
The beginning more clickbaity lately because they need more views it's kind of a universal problem on TH-cam that they're paying less so they need something flashy to get more views on TH-cam to get paid more.
In other words they're selling out
Marketing 🤣
One of the biggest hypocrites and contradictions out here.
😂 He sure did...guess he couldn't help himself (lol got to get those views)
I just find the whole warring monarch family thing played out. Backstabbing and betraying got GoT through 6 seasons or whatever, but if that’s your only hand to play… then it wears thin
I love how Korey uses the Harefoots as an example of wholesomeness and kindness but forgot that most of them are willing to ditch their fellow Harefoots and steal their wheels
Yeah. Those Hatefoot are cut throat. One lady even wanted to take the wheels off and leave them stuck.
This comment doesn’t have to do with this video, but I pray it finds you. Jesus is coming soon he is not going to save you in your sins but from your sins. God is coming to pour out wrath and destruction upon the wicked! I know a lot of people worship the devil because it’s the path of least resistance and they feel like God has let them down so many times. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the reason why you feel like God has let you down was because you didn’t give your heart to him. You did the actions but your heart wasn’t in it. He healed you and strengthened you and when you were strengthened you fell right back into sin. Faith is to do something without evidence that a certain outcome will happen! Even God created the Earth through faith, so that he can show us as an example that things that were unseen were not created by things that were seen. Hebrews 11:3 “3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” Or the which is visible

Jesus said “go tell them!”
@@oneskillpoint4669 I guess that shows how uninterested he is in the show 😆
he just said that he is in the 4 chapther of both series
Something tells me Korey don't pay fully attention when watching most shows
One show has a love for the universe it’s in, great writing, top tier acting and the other is ROP, billion dollar community theatre.
The original Game Of Thrones has somewhat spoiled fantasy fans because people want more than just high-concept fantasy nowadays, they want sex, intrigue, surprises, and relatable human behavior. Amazon's mistake was not realizing that even in fantasy settings there needs to be a strong human element, so the wild and fantastic settings and situations still feel understandable and relatable.
They want good writing. Game of Thrones had some of the best writing on tv. The content doesn’t matter so long as it’s compelling.
rings of power isn’t compelling.
Really disliking Rings of Power but pleasantly surprised by House of the Dragon. And contrary to what Martin said, I think if you LOVE Lord of the Rings, then you are actually more likely to dislike the Rings of Power as it doesn't follow the stories of the 2nd age at all. Not even close. I think it is most likely to appeal to the casual Lord of the Rings fan who saw the movies and they're happy to watch a generic fantasy story with a LotR coat of paint.
they do that with musical and anime adaptations too >.
Disagree with half of this, its not necessarily a generic fantasy show
Totally agree - I hate the fact that they deviated so much from the source material, its embarrassing.
@@frederickmiles8815 start separating adaptations from the source material, your life will become much better lol
100 percent correct . The best way I can put it the original trilogy and the books is like a 50 year old scotch . Rings of power is like someone buying that 50 year old scotch and mixing it with some off brand soda
Deamond is like Jazz from the fresh prince of Bel Air get thrown out every episode
I completely agree about the character driven writing elevating HOTD compared to ROP. While Rings of Power is beautiful, there’s FAR too many flowery exposition scenes & not enough characters feeling “human”. I tend to zone out whenever Durin & his family are not on screen bc everything else just drags bc the other characters are so one note. Whereas HOTD, I’m very invested in the many shades of grey within their characters & where their actions will lead to next. I’m excited each week for HOTD but ROP is just feeling like a chore at this point. I hope it gets better bc I want to enjoy BOTH!
ROP is a mess. Terrible writing, cheap looking sets, budget looking costumes not only that but it shits on Tolkiens legacy.
HotD is compelling. The characters actually feel like people with interests, fears, and emotions. Galadriel is awful, as are most of the characters in RoP who feel like they have as many sides as a piece of cardboard.
@@willbournerv2259 very well said. Well maybe she used a spell to turn Celeborn to cardboard to dispose of her husband while she went swimming around middle earth.
Po
@@purefoldnz3070 you forgot terrible acting. A wet paper bag has more personality than Galadriel.
The best thing about competition is it forces them both to write better. If there's a rings of power season 2 it will be better
No it wont - they dont respect the source material, they already deviated from the story and ruined the best characters. Hell they ignored to even incorporate the actual main characters from Tolkien. Sauron in 'fair form' wasnt supposed to land in Numeria until after he loses the first time, the Numerians take him as prisoner. Its hard to explain to people who dont like Tolkien - why this show is so bad.
House of Dragon works - which is great because it's pretty much is on point with the source material, plus great acting and writing (screenplays).
@@frederickmiles8815 grow up dude the books and the live action is different this show sucks because the writing sucks not because of some stupid lack of accuracy to the original source . The boys is very different than the comics yet its better
@@henrytoloza8623 bro, I'm amazed why people get so upset about this stuff. If the commentaor is under 22, I'll give them a pass but after that you should be matute enough to accept you don't like the the show and move on. Lol And that's not to say people can't critique
Good luck with that
House of the dragon is the person who knows themselves and their style and gained popularity from just being interesting and witty.
Rings of Power is the one person whose dad was cool back in the day so they try to copy his style and the way he spoke without understanding anything he meant and trying to pretend like they're something they aren't.
Rings of power has the potential but they need better writers and a different wardrobe department. They also need to get the Tolkien scholar back and get Peter Jackson to teach them how to create a sense of scale. Numenor is the greatest cavitation of men but it feels like 5 blocks with a population of 100.
HotD is leagues ahead of RoP in terms of writing and characters. Things feel important and meaningful, and the people in it have real cares and motivations and hopes.
RoP is ahead of HotD in CGI, thats about it. But flashy scenery doesnt mean much if the writing is sub-par.
One of the charges that supporters of Rings of Power levy against its detractors is that people despise Rings of Power because it has "strong female characters" and all the hate towards it just comes from toxic males. This is why it is interesting to compare Rings of Power with House of Dragons, because the same men that hate Rings of Power love House of Dragons - a show that has two strong female leads that drive the show. This illustrates how such charges of sexism are completely without merit. People don't detest Rings of Power because of its has bold female leads. They don't like it because it is poorly written.
Oh I can tell who has a problem in his life with women around him definitely a type of man likes to talk with the other guys how much he wants to sexually harass people when they don't hear them...
Honestly that's not the appeal to me at all I kind of like the gay relationship blooming between the dwarf and Elrond
Nope it's because it's boring as hell. House of dragons is simply better in every way. Especially the writing
Haven't seen much of an argument about sexism. It was mostly that people lost their shit when they saw black characters in the trailers, and started mass disliking and complaining about it in a way that's rarely seen. Same thing for The Little Mermaid. For ROP, they copied and pasted a quote everywhere and implied that the diverse casting was a corruption of good. lol. It was pretty bad.
*It's alright to be critical of bad behavior, and also be critical of the show.* Also, people did try going after House Of The Dragon and its writers before it released saying it would be "woke trash" because it has black characters as well (look at the thumbnails, lol). They just sensed which way the wind was blowing, and abandoned that narrative. The Critical Drinker changed the titles of critical HOTD videos ("Why No One Cares About House Of The Dragon") to avoid looking dumb. They're trying to pretend it ever happened rather than owning that they were wrong. The actor who plays Corlys has been outspoken about the crap he received for it.
The problem these days is that *the second you criticize bad behaviour, people scream "You're putting everyone in the same bucket!" no matter how nuanced and fair you are.*
House of the Dragon is pretty good so far, but we need way more time with the dragon riders actually interacting with their dragons. They are the medieval equivalent of nuclear bombs and have a mystical connection with their rider. That's such a great opportunity for characterization and world building. Show Daemon's wife taming her dragon. Show how much Daemon loves his and what he allows it to do to people.
A lot of people don't know the backstory of House of Dragon. The showrunners were actually fired by Amazon, so they went to HBO and have killed it. So comparison is quite appropriate.
There is no comparison between the two, the writing and acting are multitudes better on HOTD. The biggest weakness with Rings is that while its visually superior in alot of ways to HOTD, its horribly written and the main protagonist sucks. She has a rbf at all times and only can play super serious badass chick regardless of the situation, the rest of the cast outside of Durrin and Elrond is completely forgettable. If they narrow the story lines in the future I can see it improving.
It should come together now that they're leaving that island but at the same time I definitely can see there being another split before that happens and it's going to be even more frustrating
Meanwhile HOTD is skipping seasons worth of content just because the book did, talk about rushed storylines and character arcs evaporating and appearing out of thin air
@@XDarkBrotherhoodHD good, let it be faithful to the book and not force the writers who ain't GRRM to make shit up, lord knows that was a big part of where the original series went wrong
@@JS-ct3kr agree to disagree
@@JS-ct3kr The showrunners kind of were put in a lose lose situation, they didnt expect when they started the series that GRRM would not even have finished Winds of Winter by season 6. They didnt really have a choice but to wing it at that point. Im not defending them but I understand that its partially GRRM fault too
I fucking love house of dragons. 🐲🐲
Matt Smith is amazing.
Me too I love it
HOTD has lots of villains with their own motives. ROP has a central evil so it already feels like a story we've heard before. Also I'm 99% sure the "giant" in ROP is Gandalf which is why the evil trio is trying to hunt him down.
Man I can't even begin to imagine listening to an audiobook of War and Peace while on edibles.
Both Rings Of Power and House Of the Dragon are good TV, sometimes even great tv. Oddly enough they both suffer from completely opposite issues
Rings Of Power is slow at times and House Of the Dragon is accelerating at break neck speeds. Hard to judge at the moment
And yet only one of them has vastly superior writing.
I’m enjoying watching both shows.
No competition or comparison. Respectively they are their own thing but each week House of The Dragon pulls me in and I'm not even sure who to root for anymore. Just this morning I was looking at GOT family trees online.
House of Dragon I think is even better than Game of Thrones. Directors are just smarter than D&D and dialogs and actions of characters make much more sense than just mindless shock value of brutality and sex in even the early GoT
There’s no clear good guy. All these people have done horrible things.
I'm the same way. I'm always looking forward to House of the Dragon, an I intentionally skipped the last two episodes of Rings of Power because it's so stupid. I only watched the last episode because I heard how ridiculous the fight scene was with Galadriel, and everyone was right, that's one of the the dumbest and worst sword fight scenes I've ever seen. Haha
I'm thoroughly enjoying both series.
Same!
I've not seen House of the Dragon yet, but Rings of Power has been a huge dissapointment. Its been such a boring watch so far. I HOPE episode 6 makes up for it, but based upon what I've seen so far, I'll not hold out hope.
@@EtharealBTB house of dragon is a slow burner as well so expect that. It’s starting to really pick up now. We’ll see what happens in episode 7
Rings of Power is a bad joke.
@@jeffdaman6969 Slow burn and boring are not the same thing.
i can see that there are a lot of people enjoying RoP and thats great but holy fuck i tried bro, like i really did, its just so boring, the character work is incredibly thin and the dialogue and the way its delivered feels more like a play than it does a show, and i get that it’s high fantasy but hey LOTR had grit, it was grimy, it had energy and emotional punch and it had authenticity which this shows severely lacks. We’re 5 episodes in and Durin is the only character i like, not only that but the plot drags and its not that engaging. Like i don’t think its a terrible show but man.. one billion dollars?? they need to change show runners next season and bring in someone experienced that gives this a much needed spark.
What it boils down to; good writing vs. bad writing. The action, the magic, the dragons, the battles, the special FX, the wide vistas... they are merely the icing, the surface look. The actual substance and the quality of the cake, what you want to bite into and derive sustenance and satisfaction from... that's where the script, the dialogue, the characterisations, the actual storycrafting come into play.
RoP is just icing
"What it boils down to; good writing vs. bad writing."
🖐Nah, good or bad is subjective.
What it boils down to is whether you're a roleplayer or not.
Those who played D&D know how difficult it can be to role play your character so are more forgiving to 'bad Elven' dialogue, while those who haven't are oblivious to how difficult it can be to make your character sound Elven and simply will call it bad writing.
So fantasy roleplayers generally tend to gravitate to enjoying RoP more than those who never played D&D.
@@TrickyD Wrong. Writing is a craft and a skill, the qualities of which can be measured and, therefore, assessed objectively. The writing, dialogue and characterisation in RoP is objectively of poor quality, especially when compared to, say, HotD. It's really that simple.
@@ultimagameboy
"Writing is a craft and a skill"
😏And?
Craft and skill can only be measured in sports, not art.
🧠It still doesn't disprove that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
"The writing, dialogue and characterisation in RoP is objectively of poor quality, especially when compared to, say, HotD. It's really that simple."
😁LoL I find nothing wrong with the writing, dialogue & characterisation in RoP.
I guess it really is that simple.
@@TrickyD Wrong again, I'm afraid. ANY craft or skill can be measured (and therefore objectively assessed); I have absolutely no idea where you've dreamed up that sports are some kind of special exception in this regard.
If there were no such thing as good or bad writing, then there wouldn't be any kind of academic discourse around learning and teaching (and therefore assessing) writing as a skill. Otherwise, how could you possibly pass or fail a creative writing qualification? Answer; you couldn't. Nor would there be any form of criticism or analysis of it. Because, how could anyone, anywhere, ever, claim something to be good or bad (or better than or worse than) without even a modicum of objectively defined standards on which to base their argument? Answer; they couldn't.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Two things here, first of all; beauty, like most things, has both objective and subjective aspects to it. Secondly, this speaks mainly (if not in entirety) to looks; to aesthetics. The aforementioned icing on the proverbial cake. So, there is very little need to "disprove" anything here, as even the finest looking cake, with the most alluring and elaborate icing still isn't going to taste very good if the core ingredients inside are of poor quality. So, as I already said, RoP can have the flashiest, most expensive looking CGI, battles, dragons, vistas, etc and still be a bad show if the writing is poor. Which it is.
You personally finding nothing wrong with the show is absolutely fine. Great. More power to you. You have the luck to enjoy the most expensive TV show ever made. However, how you feel about the show subjectively has absolutely nothing to do with the objective reality of the show's poor writing. And honestly, why would it? There are plenty of bad shows and films I enjoy (some quite a lot, actually), just as there are plenty of good shows and films that I don't enjoy. Such is life. Why would you be any different?
The biggest problem with rings of power is that you have to keep Focus on what people are saying because if you slip for one second things just shoot over your head
When people are talking in the house of the Dragon they are more capable of getting to the point of the conversation
Have you spoke to Jesus today!?
@@lexi-laub nah! just Lucifer he got s*** done in the Bible
@@lexi-laub Have you? If so, seek help.
I would love to see more recent reviews of both these properties. Loved Ring of Power finale and House of Dragons is damn near better than Game of Thrones at this point with the last 2 episodes.
The biggest problem is that Kory is not really given as usual a sincere honest critique of these shows, House of dragon everyone wanted to find out exactly so much about the targaryens and you're getting that but it is so called lord of rings, rings of power it's nowhere near like the books and if you really want to get a true definition of the lord of the rings series and live action you watch the movies there really is no comparisons
He's pretty much admitting it's a bad show and he only likes the diversity in it.
I love both of these shows
Does anyone prefer The Rings of Power to House of the Dragon? I watched a breakdown of Gladriel's sword fight against five opponents it looked terrible, they were taking swings over her head and it looked like they were doing their best to miss her? Paddy Considine is brilliant as the King and Milly Alcock is also great shame to see her go because of the time jump, had no idea she was Australian.
I think both shows have their weaknesses and strengths, it’s really just matters down to if weither or not you like a show that’s heavy on the family/political drama or if you want a show that’s just feels wonderful to watch and you don’t have think about or speculate
ONLY way to enjoy Rings of Power is to not think lol
Rings of Power literally has nothing beside visuals. Its like watching Windows desktop landscapes while listening to nonsense and dumb plot exposition.
There are more speculation about Ring Of Power than Game Of Thrones. Because HOTD is based on finished book.
yea I agree. I been enjoying both shows and to me they both have their strengths and weaknesses. I think it really just comes down to personal preference.
Comes down to personal preference
A. Do you have a brain and actually require story and character development and drama?
B. Are you a brain dead moron who just needs a Billion dollar shiny toy to stare at?
Simple. Preference
anytime korey says “that dragon” i will now refer to him finally getting into dragon ball 🤣🤣🤣
Let us see. House of Dragons has superior storytelling, more political intrigue, believable characters, and it doesn't besmirch the legacy of the franchise the way the Rings of Power does. The only thing that Rings of Power has going for it is better visuals, but that is to be expected because it is the most expensive show ever produced. However, having better visuals, but being devoid of character and an engaging plot is like buying a Ferrari without the engine. Its just an empty shell.
@@OldManYellsAtClouds the dialogue is pretty bad and the characters are being butchered ie Galadriel. The action scenes are pretty cringe too.
I'm just waiting for both seasons to end so I can just binge it ha. It just seems people overreact to tv shows and it's hard to get a feel for a show.
Very different shows. In my opinion they are both good but flawed. RoP gives me my high fantasy dose, HotD is like historical fiction + dragons.
Technically if Rhynera comes to be on the throne, that means a black king. And The Hightower Queen is trying to stop her. We know who the true villain is, that evil brunette racist.
😂😂😂exactly!! The blacks r inclusive
@@mohammedmukadam5299 that’s not the point, I was making a joke, what’s wrong with you
@@freemandubstep8917sorry😂😂 I’m making a joke too
I start my weekend with Rings of Power and I end it with House of the dragon 😄😄😄😄😄
Stop comparing the two and just be glad two fantasy shows are even on.
100%
Because fantasy is so hard to come by
Shut up
Comparing ROP is the worst fantasy series this year the hobbits are terrible
The worst version of galadriel
Tolkien and Jackson did it better
Disa is cringe as shit this is not the lord of the rings and not even the original 2nd age story
House of the dragon is a milion times better even i hate G.O.T season 8
ROP is for stupid people who believe that tolkien was a racist and orcs are Black People you gotta be kidding me
Sure, but if one of the shows is mediocre, it’s hard to be glad about it.
Part of the reason why Lord of the rings is failing, and I mean part not a whole lot is the diversity and how it was marketed. Die hard Tolkien fans are objected to it for a reason. The response from the studio is "Oh you're a racist," Which furthers ruin the fandom. But with that all in the mix the biggest failure is the writing and the structure of the show. It's boring and it sucks. I disagree with Martin when he said you gotta be a diehard tolkien fan, the Tolkien fans don't really enjoy it because of the failure of lore. There were kids who took notes in college in Elvish.
I feel that the rings of power main problem is the showrunners.The money should have been spent on finding good and skillful showrunners who are very season when it comes to telling a good well written character driven stories. Even though i somewhat like the show. I'm never in a rush to watch it.And i don't even talk about it to anyone.Under a good showrunner like house of dragons.I'm always talking about each character and events. Because i know that the showrunners care about what they are doing to their show. It is their baby and i can feel base on how good the writing of the characters are . If rings of power gets a second season.I hope that they remove these showrunners and hire a pair of skillful and season showrunners who knows how to craft a good and compelling stories. Any show just like any cartoon they live or die by the strength of its writing .
Does Korey have the same issue with a black man with a white woman in HOTD that he did with black Ariel being a white man in the Little Mermaid? 😬
It's like comparing the 1992 Dream Team to the Special Olympics.
Wow you went there 😂😂😂
100% accurate analogy
accurate
Yeah, I said it.....Sue me.
The sea is always right
Def enjoying lord of the rings way more than GoT
LoL🤣
yikes
"This is not a review but I'll give a quick review of this" wait what?
House of the Dragon: Rolling Stones. Attitude, edge, rock and roll.
Rings of Power: Beatles. Simple, fun, not dangerous.
You can’t help but compare the two shows when they Debut within a couple of weeks of each other. Dughhh!
Remember that god LOVES you! And wants to tell you something today
I love Rings of Power and enjoy House of Dragon. My investments in each are different though as I’m waiting for the death and carnage in Westeros while I’m loving 2nd age Middle Earth.
I personally like more of the characters in Rings of Power though as there’s no one I’ll personally vouch for in House of the Dragon. Yet
None of that shit is 2nd age - the story is literally throw up from the woke freaks in Hollywood.
It's like that tweet, every week I log in to HBO to see what crimes Daemon Targaryen is committing and how I can support him. Ngga fr get banished damn near every ep 🤣💀
MARTINS right. I use Photosgop for my work everyday, and I always see Galadriel as Photoshop loads and I see Durin and his wife as Illustrator loads. I haven't tried the other adobe softwares yet.
Double Toasted featuring more clickbait titles!
Jesus goodness I'm surprised you're not comparing Andor to them
Exactly.
I only wish success for great shows
The stakes in Rings of Power feel way too small for a story set in Middle Earth. It’s like everything is happening in a microcosm, and if they’re trying to outdo Peter Jackson’s movies, they’re failing miserably.
It’s weird because Suaron doesn’t show up till the third age. So they are breaking canon
Whaaat? Where did you get that?
@@joelhenry5489 I pulled it out my ass like a true Elf
4:58 Oh snap! I was wondering too.
honestly loving LOTR makes the show so much harder to watch, or listen to rather. The elven dialog is all meaningless parable lightly sprinkled with pompous sounding prose. If you're going to use flowery language it better darned mean something intelligent instead of actively meaning nonsense.
6:38 yeah...Rings of Power isn't adapted from the literature
if you really love lord of the ring you wouldn't enjoy ring of power
I love both🤷🏻♂️ oh well
@@XDarkBrotherhoodHD get a grip Nik
I don’t even understand why Cory did this comparison. They are completely different shows. One is a high fantasy with themes of religious (mostly Christian) theology with a big magical universe beyond the petty squabbling of humans & the other story is a basic cable backstabbing drama show between ordinary people with a sprinkle of dragons in the medieval background. I love both shows because, they are completely different from one another. They are offering different things.
These are both Medieval style fantasies. GOT had zombie (whites) smart zombies (walkers) Dire Wolves, the animal control people, Giants, magic, other humanoid species (Children of the Forest),etc. GOT and HotD are direct inspirations of Tolkien's work (like any medieval fantasy). One is a hard r version, one is a pg-13 version that pushes the fantastical elements more than the GOT universe.
@@Kefka. good point but I was talking about house of the dragon. all that magical stuff in GOT came later. And even then the zombies were not the focus of the show, it was the human drama and human backstabbing. There are gods in Game of Thrones but they either don’t exist, aren’t good, or aren’t really consistent…… there really isn’t a grand religious genesis world-building like there is in lord of the rings. Game of Thrones doesn’t have a Iluvatar or Valar.
@@afrinaut3094 I agree. No need to compare the two shows at all.
I was wondering the same thing honestly. I honestly thought he was just gonna talk about GOT episode from last week since we know he is not a fan of LOTR lol. I would rather him do that and not stress himself trying to justify himself for not liking LOTR. If you don't like it, then thats okay. It should be no big deal really, at least not to me.
Dragons owners source material, Rings deviates from source material (that is why its such garbage).
I just noticed that about photoshop showing Galadriel and then the harfoot in illustrator. Wouldn't have known unless I watched.
House of the dragon has saved the Game of thrones universe and in my head Canon GOT ended at the end of season 5
6 7 and 8 was made up bullshit by doof and doofus
The dialogue for Ring of Power reminds of the Star Wars Prequels
I love that shirt! They Live!
19:48 Yeah no, The Rings of Power is NOT about spectacle, how can you say that the Rings of Power is about spectacle while also claiming that the story moves too slowly. If The Rings of Power was really about spectacle there would an epic action set piece every few minutes which is NOT the case. Also, just because House of the Dragon is darker, and more subversive doesn't automatically mean that it's better or less about people than The Rings of Power.
House of the Dragon is 100% better, I am currently watching Game of Thrones at the same time & its just as good which I was not expecting.
Yeah this show makes me want to do a Re-Watch of GOT.
Chris is 100% correct! Martin losing the plot?
~ The King might be nice...but his weakness destroys his family! ~
The Rings of Power hasn’t really taken off for me (so far), House of Dragons has been somewhat predictable but it’s still very grimy so more watchable.
I perfer the ring of power over this show but it seems im in da minority
They don't want to say it (or at least they want to skirt around it), but I and others will. House of the Dragon is leagues better. Better character development. Better performances. Better production value for much less spent on it. Tone that actually fits the material. And maybe the ending of Game of Thrones' reception is helping it as well because it feels like HBO is trying to atone for that in their way.
HotD kicks the Galadriel ass outta of rings of power and you all know it.
I learned yesterday that these are different shows.
I don't know what the hell Amazon was thinking putting it up against game of thrones. Like they really thought they could compete? House of dragons is simply in another league in almost every way. The only thing rings of power has is great visuals.
why do some Elves have 1950’s Hardy Boys haircuts and others have traditionally long hair ?
House of the Dragon is amazing
Rings of Power is for the High Fantasy Fans while House of the Dragons is for the people who hate high fantasy but love debauchery, blood, & boobs
It's like comparing Ben Simmons's passion and shooting to Steph curry
how long until
korey makes
it about race ?
House of Dragon is even better that Season 1-6 Game of Thrones
dwarf lady got no beard? dropped
American accents just feel weird in a fantasy setting.
The harfoots are nasty little critters. Break a foot? See ya. Scrape your skin? Have fun with the wolves. Stub your toe? Gimme your wheels.
Trust me bros... If you love LOTR, u will hate this @#€serie.
Rings of Power is just terrible, just comparing the scenes of Galadriel training Numenorian soldiers to a scene where Sir Cole train young Aegon and Jace is like comparing a LARP amateur video to a blockbuster
Okay, I thought that looked like Matt Smith.
Monster is the review we are all waiting for!
I wonder why people keep trying to compare these two properties. These in all honesty are two very different type shows. Always have been.
I think it’s Bcz of the release time and Bcz they’re both fantasy shows
24:45
Y'all really gonna ignore the fact that the whole marketing of rangs of power was focused on just diversity and strong girls and weak guys? Let's be honest rings was about checking diversity boxes and the story was way below middle earth
Neither one ain't fuccing with Norsemen. It's really upsetting that they intentionally destroyed the show at a time where it was getting good. They could have done continual story lines even going to Rome. Oh but darn, that would reveal way too much truth about actual history in a comedic way.
RoP episode 6, it picks up. Boy, it picks up.
I'm still watching both shows several episodes in so I like both. But I will say that if both shows were like HotD, I likely would've stopped watching both by now. All the darkness, pessimism, morbidity, incest and disregard for life that comes with HotD makes it a hard watch at times. With GoT, I've come to learn that these stories usually have bad endings. The "good guys" are often killed or corrupted by the world if they survive long enough. Or they pay some life altering price for being honorable and righteous. And the politics are nonstop to the point where it's almost comical. RoP is a nice palette cleanser and change of direction that I welcome with open arms.
I think ROP being built on snippets of lore whereas HOTD having a fully complete story is the difference maker. It isn’t really Tolkiens story. Whereas HOTD is Martins story. I love LOTR but ROP isn’t my favourite at all. I’m indifferent towards it.
There is a tempest in me.
ROP is FIRE
Nope it is garbage
HOTD is better. Hands down. Better story telling.
HOTD is excellent!
House of the Dragon is game of thrones for people who don't like Game of thrones. It's Game of thrones light.
The purpose of a show is to entertain and leave the audience wanting more…
HOTD = Check and Check
ROP = Don’t waste your time…
ROP is dope your just biased
@@ThrghmyEyeZZ ROP is shit it is not even the original 2nd age story amazon have not the rights for all tolkien stories
Only the hobbit and lord of the rings and i think one other
@@markriggelink7074 like I said ROP is dope I don't care about none of that book shit it's all fantasy my guy and for the story telling I'm being shown I'm ALL in.
I'm enjoying both, but I do like House of the Dragon far more.

HOTD is crazy. Got me mad a woman for not starting a family with her cousin. 😅
RoP is entertaining, HotD is boring AF
