Heard so much crap about this show, then finally gave it a chance and was pleasantly surprised. The pacing is definitely not for the TikTok-brains of the world, but the overall story is great.
I don't think it's solely a matter of having a "TikTok-brain".
I don't use Tik-Tok (never have) and I did not like The Rings of Power. I would have much preferred if they adapted the main story in The Silmarillion; Quenta Silmarillion. Instead they came up with a generic "made for streaming with minimal inspiration from a literary work for marketing purposes" concept.
They don’t have the rights to The Silmarillion. They’re basing everything off the appendencies.
