I honestly don't mean to be contrarian (I honestly can like popular Shows with the masses) and I'm not saying that The Rings Of Power is the greatest Show of all time, and I do prefer the LOTR trilogy overall.

However here's the reasons why I find The Rings Of Power to be a higher quality Show than House Of The Dragon.

And feel free to disagree with any of my points that I'm about to make, it's meant to be a fun debate after all. Hopefully you guys will at least understand some of my points though.

1. More Fantasy content
2. More likable characters (including men actually being likable, who knew)
3. More of an in-depth plot, even to the point where they can branch off to different POV's. Where as with House Of The Dragon it's jumped from Jousting to pregnancies to who Rhaenyra is gonna marry, none of it is very interesting imo
4. I actually feel like I'm watching a Show based in Middle Earth, where as House Of The Dragon reminds me more of Upstairs, Downstairs than GOT.

And on a side note that scene in episode 3 with Daemon trying to be Jack Bauer or Kiryu Kazama is tone wise really out of whack with how the GOT world has been established in the previous 8 Seasons, where the fights were meant to be a little bit more grounded.

I will be fair to Daemon though, he is the only character worth watching in the Show as it currently stands imo.

Out of interest do you agree with any of my points between the two Shows? And if you do prefer House Of The Dragon, why?
