The show did not make a convincing case to me that the Mt. Doom eruption shouldn’t have been a 2-minute long youtube video by a well-regarded 3D artist who spent a long time on it to get all the details just right with the title “The Eruption of Mt. Doom” and it gets several million views, and a bunch of likes and people enjoy it and move on with their lives. Why was $500m and years of people’s lives devoted to making this show?
