Facing an army of Orcs doesn’t get much worse. After announcements, teasers and trailers, what is probably the most expensive series of all time is now being presented to the world, and that means: the thousands and thousands of critical “Lord of the Rings” fans who have been doing little else for months than imagining how violently and grotesquely “The Rings of Power” could fail. How the series will betray the spirit of Saint JRR Tolkien, politicize his universal history from the left, besmirch the legacy of his cinematic prophet Peter Jackson, and generally disappoint all who really to understandwhich is what this greatest narrative of the 20th century is all about.
