Fascinating look at the absurd market dynamics of the present that Amazon thinks it's a good idea to pump hundreds of millions of dollars into a show run by literal nobodies before its first season is even out...
... because it's based on the Lord of the Rings IP.

I can't wait to see which disgusting corporate juggernaut is left holding the bag in this bubble.

This is not to cast aspersions on the show. Have no idea how it will turn out, though "Galadriel in plate armor" isn't terribly reassuring as a premise.
But the business model itself is absolutely ridiculous.
