The release of the first images of the protagonists of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ has been accompanied by interesting statements from some of the main people involved in the amazon series. There is an especially striking one focused on how it is going to differ from ‘Game of Thrones’.
There are not a few who were afraid that Amazon wanted to turn ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ into a new ‘Game of Thrones’. However, their similarities will not go much further than the fact that both are epic fantasy series, as revealed patrick mckayone of its showrunners, in Vanity Fair:
The goal is to make a series for everyone, for children who are 11, 12 or 13 years old, although sometimes they may have to cover their eyes with the blanket if something is a little bit scary. We talked about the tone of Tolkien’s books. It’s sometimes scary material, it’s very intense and can be quite political and sophisticated, but it’s also comforting, reassuring and optimistic. It’s about friendship, about brotherhood and about people overcoming great challenges against the odds.
These clarifications make it clear that the content of violence and sex in ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ is going to be much reduced. Regarding the former, it was obvious that something was going to happen, while regarding the latter, speculation began when, at the time, a intimacy coordinatorswhich usually specialize in scenes with sexual themes.
Come on, we can rule out that ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ looks more than necessary to the acclaimed HBO series. It makes all the sense in the world that it be so, since the universe created by J. R. R. Tolkien has very little to do with George R.R. Martinwhich will also return shortly with the long-awaited prequel ‘The house of the dragon’.
However, we will have to wait until we can see the Amazon series to judge for ourselves. Luckily, the wait will not be too long, since its premiere will take place next september 2. In addition, its first trailer will be released this Sunday during the celebration of a new edition of the Super Bowl.
