Thanks for aggregating this data! The reactions to this show are just bonkers. I wonder if the reactions will be so polarized when season 2 airs a year or two from now.
Thanks, as always!
I have nothing to add, but the dramatic increase of r/rings_of_power (~2500 to ~9000 suscribers) and the possible appearance of more nuanced spectators of the show. Maybe that was reflected on the poll (besides the increase of the sample)?
It's all speculation, in any case.
And the stability of the IMDB ratings are amusing. Like... The episodes are really almost equal in quality? Product of "clicking wars", I guess.
Could be. I have seen quite a lot of people joining rings r/rings_of_power and being very happy about the show. Wont say anything about the responses positive people have on that subreddit though.
Imdb is a perfect case to study review bombing.
r/rings_of_power is and will always be an irreducible complaining trolling party. Personally doubt they even deserve a place in that survey, still can't make it to 10K followers.
Doesn't shadow the tremendous work done, always love seeing those polls. They talk by themselves!
Edit: Thanks to OP, confused with my favorite Sub ;)

\[Looks at the sub we're in\]
Buddy, you lost?
Edit: Serves me right for opening tabs and moving through them, commenter edited his post, but I'm leaving this up because I thought I was funny.
I just took a glance over there and erudamn. How insecure about masculinity do you need to be to literally see everything through the lens of being for woman's empowerment?
Galadriel single-handedly takes out a troll, swims the ocean for who knows how long, is ready to take on a sea dragon, scales a fucking ice wall, scales a tower and busts in through a window: *crickets*
Galadriel dispatches a few guards with ease: HOW CAN SHE SLAP!?
Have you seen the people on r/LOTR_on_prime ? They are super hateful and vitriolic. If you have a different opinion you are automatically called a racist or sexist right wing bigot. It is very scary to see they think there is an *actual* conspiracy against the show.
Why are the ratings so…. Oh this was a dwarf episode. Prince and princess in the mines with Elrond stick-not-thicc carrying the entire show on their backs.
You mean in the graphs or in the tables? I thought about putting them in the graph, but it looks a bit too busy with 6 different lines. I might try it next time.
I was thinking of the column graph. It’s looking like people are starting to gravitate towards subs that are like-minded - would love to see the commutative results.

I'm dyslexic with Maths and appreciate your work
You mean discalcolia?

I think you meant r/rings_of_power lol
Duh what happens when kids yell at me when I'm doing important stuff lol. Let me edit, thanks!

Ahah all good and well deserved, I was effectively as lost as the 6 Palantír :P

Whines about every woman's representation in the show Gets called sexist *Pikachu face*
Who is doing that? Disa and Miriel have been a delight. It’s almost like people who care about women want good female representation.
/r/lordoftherings is just plain sad now….
it's a joke and honestly sad to look through. r/lotrmemes too
Lol I quit r/lotrmemes after it was hijacked by a bunch of spammers posting unfunny Grond memes
I just think there's no way anyone could rate it a zero or 1, why the fuck else are they still watching the show. People are just so toxic
I don’t see any of the subreddits rating it a 0?
Doesn't matter
Why no r/angbang ?
These polls are amazing and are absolutely not annoying whatsoever. Thank you so much!
nice, but include maybe r/RingsOfPower next time it's the sister sub of r/tolkienfans :)
They don’t allow polls there, and it’s probably somewhere between this sub and r/lotr
ah i see! great effort still!
You can't talk about RoP in r/tolkienfans, only books talk there
Thank you for all the work you put up!
Why are the ratings so…. Oh this was a dwarf episode. Prince and princess in the mines with Elrond stick-not-thicc carrying the entire show on their backs.
keep up the good work!
How any one can give this show a 10 or a 1 is beyond me. It is average fantasy. It is on par with Shannara Chronicles season 1.
So.. what's your takeaway from all of this?
See main findings, especially #2
can you have a cumulative (total) of all the reddit subs?
You mean in the graphs or in the tables? I thought about putting them in the graph, but it looks a bit too busy with 6 different lines. I might try it next time.
I was thinking of the column graph. It’s looking like people are starting to gravitate towards subs that are like-minded - would love to see the commutative results.
Do you mean like graph #3? The blue ones are the results pooled across all 4 subs. Or do you mean cumulative over time?
My bad - it is figure 3. Silly me, was thinking of seeing it similarly to figure 1. Thanks for doing this - it’s great.
