The Super Crooks anime was pretty good though.

Again how exactly is a flop when actual facts & data say it isn't? You guys haven't even provided one shred of evidence that the show isn't a success other than "Nuh huh cause I say so" & it's honestly pathetic.

>The difference in reception is NOT because of IP strength

Yes it is lol, the data completely shows that LoTR is literally more popular with those that grew up watching it while GoT is more popular with teens & non-fantasy watchers. You're argument is completely invalid & meritless.

>the fact Bezos was personally involved makes it flopping even more delicious

How is it "flopping" exactly when most press & solid statistical data are saying the exact opposite?

>Because the shows have different airing schedules and are in different formats, these comparisons aren’t exactly apples to apples. “House of the Dragon” also had the benefit of a new episode bumping its viewership during this period, and overall has 10 episodes to count versus “The Rings of Power’s” eight, giving it more available minutes for streaming in the first place.

You forgot to include this

So? Streaming-wise, ROP still does better, that's the point of the comparison.
