What was wrong with the superb Ring series filmed in New Zealand?

If you mean the Lord of the Rings trilogy by Peter Jackson that came out approximately 20 years ago, it was pretty well done. Visually, it was spectacular, and they made surprisingly few concessions to the dogma of the Current Year of the time. They were true enough to the novel to make it worthwhile. Ten years later, The Hobbit trilogy was a ridiculous, bloated, CGI garbage fest, cash grab; complete with “strong female character” who wasn’t in the book, shoe-horned-in diversity, a really forced romantic storyline, and a near-complete departure from Tolkien. In the decade since that awfulness came out, things have gotten a lot worse in the entertainment industry. Prepare for a lesbian, black, female, hobbit who is the greatest warrior in Middle Earth. Return of the King was released a very long time ago.
