Yes, TheRingsOfPower feels like a billion bucks, but what does that really mean for Amazon? galaxyleila on the gorgeous show's infamous price tag and its impact on TV:
Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salkeof the first season by explaining they’re “building the infrastructure of what will sustain the whole series.” The studio has every intention of investing years into this show and putting every last dollar to use.
So with a budget of the annual GDP of the African island nation of Comoros being committed to bring Tolkien’s world to life, does the show actually feel like a billion dollars put to use? The truth is that the show does look incredible. The small details that make a fantastical world feel beautiful are everywhere. Detailed armors and costumes stand out, but the tiniest twigs and branches that the Harfoots use are where Amazon’s money really shines. The grand establishing shots that show off the natural beauty of the world alongside impressively built cities and villages brings a cinematic quality to the show that TV has been trying to emulate for years. And the VFX, of which were completed, is on par with the best film productions and even better than most Disney outputs in the past few years. There’s a sense while watchingto look good. Any inkling of cheapness and the crew would be ridiculed from every part of the internet for the “billion dollar show” to come out no better than an average Netflix production.still pales in comparison to what should be possible with that amount of money. It’s inevitable to comparefor what can be done to bring fantasy to life. The budget for all three films came to just less than $300 million and is considered one of the great feats in filmmaking: 48,000 pieces of armor, 10,000 real arrows, 1,800 Orc body suits, and battles with 250 extras! But the most valuable thing a production can buy with their money is not people or product, it’s time. The first season ofspent 2 years in pre-production before any footage was shot. But with such a substantial investment, I doubt anyone at Amazon wanted to spend too long just planning the show. . What couldhave done with an extra year just to design and imagine the world they had a blank check to make?is not just a TV show, it’s just one path in Amazon’s desire for complete control over culture and commerce.
