This is gonna be a flop, isn't it?

I guess it doesn't really show much or reveal anything that we didn't already know.

Actually, a HR article published today reveals what the show will cover:

 

Quote

“This is a title that we imagine could live on the spine of a book next to J.R.R. Tolkien’s other classics. The Rings of Power unites all the major stories of Middle-earth’s Second Age: the forging of the rings, the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron, the epic tale of Númenor, and the Last Alliance of Elves and Men,” said showrunners J.D. Payne & Patrick McKay.

I seriously hope not but that teaser made me think of the Wheel of Time which was a cheap, tacky, and melodramatic disaster.  I know its just a title reveal but I really didn't like the aesthetic at all.

They are putting a lot more importance on this than WoT. The production values at least will be far better with the huge budget.

Found it funny that she has a French manicure. Must have nail salons.

That makes a lot more sense. Thank you for the clarification.

[Elessar]

As far as teasers go, i like what they have done here. Fans get something to dissect probably for weeks without revealing really anything.

 

Dig the details in some of the attires.

Looks like there’s about 16 of these posters….

That's very early considering the show is 7 months out. Will the marketing budget rival its production costs?

[Ozymandias]

Well at least we'll get to see how this show looks.  Will it be cleaner and TV-like with terrible costume design like WOT or will it be like LOTR?  Posters were a little concerning TBH.

is it a marketing-only sequence? Because the CGI isn't so good.

 

Not sure if serious, that ridiculous level of photorealism no ?

 

Oh reading more in the thread, thats seem to be actual footage.
