It was shitty writing, period. The character, plot, subtext, logic, consistency, etc were all absent. Some elements were passable, but not enough, mostly dependent on memberberries from Peter Jackson. The CGI city scenes were the only exceptionally good parts.

This new Mary Sue Galadriel is not the same character at all, with poorly written dialogue, in poorly conceived scenarios, with implausible story arcs, and ludicrous plots. It's not just her at all, but that's a huge part of the problem.

It was obvious to me. All of it. No subtlety, no subtext, all on the nose and boring.

House Of The Dragons is the opposite.
