Reply to comment by Step-Father_of_Lies in Cynthia Rothrock was the best Martial Arts female movie star and yet she almost never gets any credit by Lili_Danube

I think the closest thing to a big picture she was in was SHANGHAI EXPRESS (also called MILLIONAIRE'S EXPRESS) with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, but she was a basically an extra in it.

The problem is she isn't a good actress at all, she's just a really good martial artist.

Not trying to make it go away nor do I hate it, just stating my experience with it.

Now you and your assumptions I want to make go away, that would be excellent.

Literally everyone when Lord of the Rings movies came out, even my mom who would never in a million years read the books or any other fantasy genre stuff: Did you see Lord of the Rings yet? You HAVE to see it.

No one at all, even the most hardcore fantasy nerds I know: Did you watch Rings of Power?

I had to google the title of that TV show to write this, that should tell you how that shit show is going.

Edit: I get it's not completely without fans, but to act like it's in any way a hit is insane. It cost an astronomical amount of money to make for a show no one will remember in 5 years. It's an undeniable failure.
