Society’s reaction to the Lord of the Rings NFT collection

Society has given a mixed reaction to the NFT fall. A segment of fans believe that Warner Bros. studio is focusing on harebrained schemes instead of innovation and imagination. They feel it is just like streaming, but it is more difficult to obtain and costs more money. One Twitter user went so far as to express that they want the collection to fail badly.

While on the other hand are NFT enthusiasts hyped about the case. They believe this is a step towards mass adoption.

Media and content in Web3

A strong use of NFT can be around movies and multimedia content. NFTs give fans a real sense of ownership compared to streaming movies on Netflix. Because of these factors, Hollywood is exploring NFTs and Web3.

Dapper Labs signed an agreement with the major Hollywood talent agency William Morris Endeavor Entertainment (WME) a couple of days ago. The deal could open up opportunities for some of Dapper Labs’ signature NFT collections, such as CryptoKitties and NBA Top Shot, to be included in Hollywood films.

There are various other developments from other popular studios as well. The community is waiting other studios like Star Wars, Marvel and DC to jump on the NFT bandwagon.
