Glory to Marik
Oh, wow, then ever more underwhelming. (I realize this is just a trailer and the show could be much better than first impression)

I think the trailer looks great. Goes to show that these things are all relative!

Imagine a trailer for a 90's Star Trek show that focused on the Matte paintings used for establishing shots on alien planets: ot impressive, but the shows actual budget was mostly in sets, props, and actors.
Look at the costume, set, and makeup design we have already seen: that's where the money is, along with the large cast of actors.
As a result, yeah, the CGI is not revolutionary, midrange Switch game I'd say. But that should serve the show.
wicked cool

agreed for the budget and todays technology i expected to be wowed. its a Superbowl commercial!!
arent all the disney marvel stuff well over 100 million a series. Moon Knight so far looks way more interesting and i know much more about this universe than his origins
GOT cost was 60 million per season
I know its early but this has the initial wheel of time look to it. Where is the grit/dirt. it feels like everyone dressed in costume/makeup room and stepped on the green screen and nobody is saying wheres the grime (even compared to the original movies in case some are saying different universe)

I feel like I watched a different teaser to you, but OK.

Yeah, I really don't get the complaints about the effects. The trailer was brief and we only saw small snippets, but what I saw looked movie quality effects-wise.

No, the starting bid for the rights to make the show was $250 million, with a requirement of making 5 seasons. Estimates put overall costs for the show and all five seasons at One Billion Dollars. cue Doctor Evil voice and laugh

I looked up the Vanity Fair article. Here is an interesting bit:
"Amazon won’t confirm the show’s budget, but on top of the money for the rights, the government of New Zealand has placed production expenditures at $462 million for the first season alone. That figure includes building infrastructure that will be used in later seasons—and it’s been offset by a $108 million tax rebate."
The 462 million is in fact minus 108 million = (edit) 354 million. Of those 354 million, an unknown amount should be spread over the 5 seasons.
That would be about (edit) 300 for ten hours against 93 million for 3 hours.

Yeah I wish they had the Silmarrilion to work with, but this is a good point.
