Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Game of Thrones are both fantastic epic fantasy series' that heavily rely on the artistry of storytelling. While both feature massive battles, magical elements, and sprawling landscapes that make for a visually stunning fantasy world, George R. R. Martin's medieval universe was more geared towards the gritty and violent and Tolkien-inspired Rings of Power honed more into the iconic author's good versus evil mentality.
