THE RINGS OF POWER vs HOUSE OF THE DRAGON

 

TROP vs HOTD

In today’s article, we’ll be discussing why Amazon Prime’s The Rings of Power, TROP, keeps receiving unabashed hate from the fans of HBO Max’s House of the Dragon, HOTD.  

Amazon Prime’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is a fantasy television series developed by J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay, based on the novel The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien.

Set a thousand years before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, TROP begins during a time of peace in Middle-earth and crescendos to the events that lead to the forging of the Rings of Power, the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron, the character arch of Galadriel, and the fall of the kingdom of Numenor.

House of the Dragon on the other hand is a prequel of Game of Thrones. It was created by George R. R. Martin and Ryan Condal for the streaming platform HBO Max.

House of the Dragon is set about hundred years after the Seven Kingdoms are united by the Targaryen conquest, and nearly two hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones.

HOTD vs TROP

Based on the descriptions, you can already tell that both movies even though under the fantasy genre, are very dissimilar from each other. Yet they were compared by fans, why?

Well, here’s why. House of The Dragon was released on August 21, 2022, and The Rings of Power on September 2, 2022. Released in the same timeframe I’d say it was pretty obvious that the two would always be compared since they were at loggerheads for viewership.

Also, even with the bigger budget The Rings of Power had, House of the Dragon had more fans. And to make sure that their show dominated, there was a conspiracy theory that these fans review bombed TROP. But was that what really happened?

Well, why there might be some truth in that, The Rings of Power wasn’t exactly a good show (not that it justifies the hate it got from HOTD fans anyway) The show simply had bad writing, annoying characters, and awful dialogues.

This is the reason why House of the Dragon had more viewership, awards, Rotten Tomatoes score, Average audience score, and IMDB ratings than The Rings of Power. TROP was so awful that it had an average audience score of 38%.

In conclusion, The Rings of Power wasn’t just hated by House of the Dragons fans because it wasn’t on par with the latter or because it had no cultural impact like HOTD. It was disliked generally because it was a bad show that felt forced.

THIS IS THE BEST BREED OF PET DOGS AND HERE'S WHY

Maltese Dachshund mix Maltese Dachshund mix, also known as Mauxie, is a cross between the Maltese and Dachshund dog breeds. They’re known for their fluffy coats, long bodies, short legs, big ears, and narrow snouts. The Maltese Dachshund mix, a miniature breed of dogs are very lively and playful pets. These hyperactive companions as their name implies are created by crossing a Maltese and a Dachshund . There are three generations of the Mauxie, and they all have unique characteristics that distinguish them. With the first generation being the Mauxie, the second generation of these fluffy dogs are a cross between the Mauxie and either a Maltese or Dachshund parent. A common reason for this breeding is to create a consistent look in the puppies and reduce some genetic health issues that might arise from crossing different breeds of dogs.
