What Makes a Good Adaptation?

<p>Hello, and welcome to Episode 33 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking.</p> <p>In this episode, we take a look at Amazon's upcoming Rings of Power adaptation of, we think, the appendices to the Lord of the Rings, and ask what it is that makes some adaptations (Jackson's Lord of the Rings Trilogy) a roaring success, while others (Jackson's Hobbit Trilogy) fail with barely a whimper. </p> <p>Next time, we're reverting back to type as we look for the 10 best duellists in the Harry Potter series. Should be fun, and of course entirely uncontroversial!</p> <p>Twitter:    <a href='https://twitter.com/ZeroExpertise'>https://twitter.com/ZeroExpertise</a></p> <p>Email: <a href='mailto:expertiseisoverrated@gmail.com'>expertiseisoverrated@gmail.com</a></p> <p>Discord:    <a href='https://discord.gg/2HnSNnKctr'>https://discord.gg/2HnSNnKctr</a></p> <p>Website: expertiseisoverrated.podbean.com</p> <p> </p> <p>Track: Your Turn — tubebackr [Audio Library Release]</p> <p>Music provided by Audio Library Plus</p> <p>Watch: <a href='https://youtu.be/Ma-XZFa8bLU%E2%80%8B'>https://youtu.be/Ma-XZFa8bLU​</a></p> <p>Free Download / Stream:    <a href='https://alplus.io/your-turn'>https://alplus.io/your-turn</a> </p>
