A rumor suggests that the showrunners of The Rings of Power they could leave the expensive Amazon series due to the bad reviews received by the first season.
In accordance with tomatoes, Prime’s series based on JRR Tolkien’s seminal works, but they underperformed by virtually every metric. For this reason, a strong rumor indicates that the producers J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay they would be replaced. In the same way, it is said that the company will “restructure” The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power for its second season.
Why would they fire the showrunners of The Rings of Power?
The first to mention these potential changes was prominent film critic and founder of Film Threat, Chris Gore, during an appearance on episode 314 of the YouTube live streaming show. Midnight’s Edge in the Morning.
Speaking about the show’s first season finale with that day’s panel, host Andre Einherjar asked Gore, “What have you heard from your peers in the industry? Is everyone so impressed with The Rings of Power Like the showrunners suggest we should be? ”, to which the critic again admitted, “Uh, no”.
Gore said the reception was so generally dismal that Amazon set out to course-correct the second season.
“I heard from someone who has a connection to Amazon that, if you want to know, they are indeed going to reorganize,” he explained. “Y [Payne y McKay] more than likely… they will not be publicly fired, but their role will be reduced.”
“Possibly just staying in the writers room,” he added, “but I understand they’re looking showrunners more experienced.”
To this end, Gore detailed that Amazon is “well aware of the issues” before noting that while “it’s what they’re saying publicly,” it’s also “what they’re actually doing behind the scenes.”
“And what they’re doing behind the scenes,” he later claimed, “is they’re freaking out because this was more of a flop than could have been anticipated.”
Boredom, fanatics and House of the Dragon: Enemies of The Rings of Power
Gore went on to speculate that there were three key reasons for the reorganization of the second season of The Rings of Power.
Program quality
“I think the quality of the program is the main thing,” he said first. “The audience was like, ‘Why do I keep watching this? This induces sleep.”
disgruntled fans
“The second thing is the total rejection of the fans,” the reviewer suggested below. “There have to be very few people left who still like it” due to the lack of connection to other Tolkien properties.
The House of the Dragon
“And thirdly, direct competition from The House of the Dragon”, he concluded. “It started earlier and ends later keeping it like that in viewers’ consciousness for a longer period of time.”
In accordance with tomatoesAmazon needs to make a shift in the direction of the program to justify the billion dollars of investment it made in The Lord of the rings.
