That title doesn't inspire confidence in the production. Cheap, reductive, corny. I can't decide which (or all).
Since when?Power Rings became a racist term, so they had to name it Rings of Power. There's a huge difference.

A Look At Amazon Studios' New Diversity Guidelines
Amazon Studios is pledging that by 2024 half of all top-line roles – directors, writers, producers – in their movies and shows will be composed of women and underrepresented groupsdot.la
Given Amazons Draconian inclusion and equity policies, it's an absolute given this will suck ass completely. Want diversity? Greenlight productions where it makes sense. Don't try and shove square pegs in round holes.
Sir Lenny Henry, 63, will be playing a Harfoot in the upcoming series.
In an interview regarding his casting, the actor revealed that Harfoots are a multi-cultural tribe of hobbits.
He said: "A hundred people on set [are] glaring at you and trying to work out what you'll look like four feet tall."
Sir Lenny went on: "I'm a Harfoot, because J.R.R. Tolkien, who was also from Birmingham, suddenly there were black hobbits, I'm a black hobbit. It's brilliant.
"What's notable about this run of the books, it's a prequel to the age that we've seen in the films, it's about the early days of the Shire and Tolkien's environment, so we're an indigenous population of Harfoots. We're hobbits but we're called Harfoots.
"We're multi-cultural, we're a tribe not a race, so we're black, asian and brown, even Maori types within it."

"These people are really, really good looking."
um WHAT. At least 80% of them are fucking ugly. Not even average. We have entered some kind of weird Emperor Has No Clothes realm where if someone isn't white, everyone has to pretend to find the fucker attractive so show how racist they aren't.
Halo TV show has the same problem"These people are really, really good looking."

Good God. It's bad enough that the POC casting ruins the idea of world Tolkien created, but are they actually going to make Elrond and Galadriel fuck each other as one of those photos suggest?
