Amazon needs to reduce the cost for the show to justify it's existence	Can't Post

As much as I personally like the show very much, I can't deny Rings Of Power hasn't been the next ''GOT'' for Amazon. It's doing OK I guess with viewership but far behind Amazon's own shows like Fallout and The Boys that has better audience and fan reception.

I think it's time for Amazon to reduce the cost. Unless Bezos demands to the company to pour money into it. They can't throw hundreds of millions of dollars for a show that isn't creating any buzz and losing viewership now. I don't want it to be low level like Wheel of Time, but they need to reduce the casting and other pointless side plots.

Sure they can. Don't be hasty. Think of it as Costco roast chicken, their infamous loss-leader. Admittedly, roast chicken is more tasty and popular, but hey, Amazon can afford the ego project.

As a fan of both Fallout and The Boys, gotta agree with your assessment.
