For fans of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,’ the latest ratings and reviews have sparked a heated debate. On the subreddit /r/LOTR_on_Prime, users are discussing the episode ratings, with some arguing that the system is being manipulated by trolls and brigaders.
One user, bbportali, shared a chart showing the ratings for each episode, highlighting that some episodes, like ‘Udun,’ have received high praise. However, the discussion quickly turned to the issue of fake reviews, with some users pointing out that there are many 1-star and 10-star ratings that may not reflect genuine opinions.
Users like No_Nefariousness_29 suggested implementing a rating system that excludes extreme scores to get a more accurate view of the show’s quality. Others, like TheMercifulDarkLord, defended the show against negative reviews, calling it “fantastic”.
The debate underscores the passion and engagement of the fan base, as well as the challenges of maintaining credible review systems in the face of online manipulation).
