Could WOT learn from Fallout?

I'm curious on people's thoughts regarding Fallout.  I have to say I'm enjoying a lot more than other Amazon shows such as WOT and the Ring of Power.  Ring of Power is ok, but I find it disappointing considering its huge budget.  Something with that large of a budget should have a better story.   Is it simply because of the topic or is there something other series could learn from it?  I know some issues WOT has to deal with is being based off books and Game of Thrones comparisons?  GOT was made with the plan of putting it on TV where RJ never considered a WOT series when he started writing it.  It just seems to me that everything with Fallout just seems better, the CGI, less wasted time, character development, etc Fallout to me just seems more professional and of a higher quality.  

all 3 shows are awesome. But rings of power is definitely the best. Saurottar and Celebrimbor had the best arc. Annatar (forgot his real name… lol…chemo brain) is GORGEOUS. When he started wearing black…and his hair like that … drool. I’d have that dude’s babies lmao and I am married w/ 2 young daughters and hate pregnancy 🤣 

 

Fall out is too confusing with the flash blacks. It’s good, but I don’t like shows that I have to look up tons of explanations for..or play a video game to watch and understand.
 

Ppl complain that the shows “disrespect the source material.”  Then why did ROP motivate me to read all of the Tolkien books (on Audible). And why did Wheel of Time get me to read the WHOLE SERIES in 3.5 weeks?! I just did 6.5 weeks of radiation. I began Wheel of Time like halfway in and finished it within a week of ending. It got me through lol. I listened to it while driving, during treatment, and all day via my earbuds. I can’t wait for WOT s3. There’s changes. But there’s way more similarities than changes. Anyone who expected it to be the exact same is an idiot who doesn’t understand that u can’t fit all that droning on into 8 episodes.
