621Fans Prefer House Of The Dragon Over Rings Of Power.. Here's Why
Welcome back to Recap Central. Here’s some news for you about the House of the Dragon and Rings of Power TV Series. Two shows, two epic fantasy universes, two streaming rivals spending entirely too much money on each of them. And yet while both may be performing well enough so far, a few episodes in, one seems like more of a hit than the other. And it’s HBO’s House of the Dragon coming out on top over Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. While critics have scored both shows about the same, fans have not, with House of the Dragon viewership reportedly higher (as hard as it is to track these streamers), and fan-submitted scores much, much higher as well.
There has absolutely been both sexism and racism that each show and their casts have had to face. Both shows feature badass women as their leads, Rhaenyra and Galadriel. Both shows have attempted to make a normally white fantasy setting more diverse by casting black actors. House of the Dragon has the black Velaryon noble house and its dragonriders, Rings of Power has black elves, dwarves and queens. But House of the Dragon’s fan ratings are miles above Rings of Powers. And I think there’s something to that, given that both shows have championed diversity similarly, and received similar pushback. It cannot explain the reception gap, or the entirety of Rings’ “review bombing.” At baseline, House of the Dragon is simply the better show, at least in these early episodes so far. Rings of Power has cast an ultra-wide net, giving us locations and characters all across the map and building a long, low overall story arc. In related news, Saddle up your Fellbeast: we are going back to Middle Earth. If you’re not tagging along with HBO’s return to Westeros, or you just want even more fantasy, Amazon is diving into the world of Lord of the Rings. The Rings of Power, purported to be the most expensive TV show of all time, premieres September 1. Set in the Second Age of JRR Tolkien’s universe, it follows the rise of Sauron (the big baddie from the original series, that giant fiery eye floating atop a tower) and the various goings-on of all the fantasy races (hobbits, dwarves, humans, et cetera).
