Recommended VideosThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is finally here, and the fandom is enjoying the big return to Middle-earth with countless memes.
The new Amazon Prime Video exclusive dropped its first two episodes, and meat is back on the menu for Tolkein diehards – as are the memes. Doing two episodes at once is a strategy that worked well for Disney Plus and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Middle-earth fans are very pleased with what they’ve seen so far.
The reactions particularly praised Morfydd Clark as Galadriel, as well as the overall look of the series. Amazon reportedly spent $1 billion on The Rings of Power, and it sure feels like it. The series is currently sitting on 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, much to the joy of fans.

— Jamie (@jamie_dunkin) September 2, 2022One ballsy tweet even suggested that the show was better than the other big fantasy series on television in House of the Dragon. Both stunning series, perhaps a better debate is which one is more spectacular.

— jackson langford (@jacksonlangford) September 2, 2022A strong reception from the fans will be exactly what Amazon hoped for, with a series as expensive as this seriously needing to deliver early on. 2022 has seen plenty of big franchises go for the jugular on streaming services, with the likes of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Moon Knight, House of the Dragon, and now The Rings of Power proving that perhaps the future isn’t in cinema, but instead online.
The Rings of Power is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
