The Rings of Power doesn’t have any right to be good. It’s funded by a megacorporation, for one thing. I don’t say that to demean big businesses or capitalism as a system. More just that big businesses have nearly the opposite goal compared to storytellers. Storytellers are searching for specificity and authenticity. They often challenge their audiences and emphasize minority opinions, which risks making people uncomfortable. They want loyally devoted fans without resorting to tricks. They prioritize humanity over profits. At least, that goes for most of the artists I’ve known.
