If only Amazon didn't need to waste a billion dollars on a failed LotR series.

I've rewatched The Expanse multiple times. Watching a single episode of Rings of Power felt longer than watching the extended version of Fellowship of the Ring

As a huge expanse fan(also several watch throughs), s2 of rings of power was really good imo. That said, I think I would trade it for a final proper season or two of the expanse

That's good to know, I might have to give it a chance then. The first season was honestly painful to watch, so I didn't even bother with the second.

And there's a lot of things I'd trade for more seasons of The Expanse

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

The first season just sets up the second but you can honestly skip it

2 billion in the first season and probably the same in the 2nd one. im afraid STARGATE wont fare much better, if they suck the budget out of that, among other potential issues. I suspect they did that with invincible, because you can tell theres been declining animation quality from 1-3. not to mention sci-fi being 10 episodes is usually enough tfor stargate.
