it was the best effect of this product - to watch all those funny reviews :D the next best effect of this product was that Polish editor of Tolkien begun the edition of translation of HoME :) We are going to get 4th volume in May. Yay ! :)
I couldn’t take it. I think the 37% that finished it were diehards hoping for something different. That was me. I’m so pissed at what the final product was versus what it could have been that I am not interested in torturing myself anymore. I’m so angry at Amazon Prime Studios - even after almost 2yrs. I’m not going to dirty my thoughts with a bastardized depiction of Tolkien’s characters and general storyline.
The bit of Bombadil just......pisses me off. How dare they just fuck up more Tolkien lore. To Hell with this show and all it's defenders. Thank you for the video LJC. Love your work.
If anyone actually presents Tom Bombadil as Melkor that person needs to be jailed. Or worse. That's just... that's idiocy on levels that should be illegal.
Watching RoP was embarrassing. I felt embarrassed, like I was watching a loved one try standup comedy for the first time. It gave me the same feeling as TLOU2 did, but since I didn’t expect much out of Amazon, less rage. 😂 I REALLY hope no one watches season 2.
I just finished watching all of Season 1 last night whilst I had a few days access to Amazon Prime and I have to respectfully disagree with you. I LOVED it! Maybe the Tolkien purists have some gripes, but personally I was hooked from the first moment to the end credits of episode 8. Roll on Season 2.
I hate Rings of Power with a passion. How can they make something so boring and uninspiring based on Tolkiens work? They should just do us all a favor and start over.
Also Elrond and Galadriel both sensed something off about Anatar and denied him any access into their realms, in the show, they are basically there during the forging of the rings, and there should have been 16 rings made, then the elves made the three themselves and sauron crafts the master ring later on after gifting seven to the dwarves and nine to the kings, idk how this show gonna correct all of this in season 2 and I don't really care, I'm sure it'll be a mess, I know Peter Jackson went a tad off coarse here and there but the Lord of the rings and the hobbit were still pretty much on point, what's happening with the rings of power in my opinion is people assuming nobody ever read any of Tolkiens books and those who have will let their poor writing skills just slide, they dumped so much money into this series and failed horribly at pulling it off, yes I came here purposely to rant, I'm sure it's already known that a lot of people are pissed about the direction of this show, and im pissed Tolkiens family is allowing this to continue, there should have been some die hard Tolkien purists help guide the direction, good thing Ian McKellen was a purist, he had to keep Peter Jackson from going too off with the movies, if not for Ian, the movies may have turned out different.
People want what is written in Tolkien's books to come to life. That is what I want. They made a few changes in Lord of the Rings that pissed me off but by the time they got to the Hobbit the horror really began. The Hobbit. Man what a mess. 3 movies worth of garbage. I never ended up watching the whole thing. It felt like space mountain gone haywire. Now this. A book I always found complicated to read it took me a few times to get thru it. Quite a hard movie to make but Rings of Power could have done it if they only stayed true to the book.
8:28 So Amazon's Celeborn will actually be Sauron in disguise? Great (not), so now let's bring up the topic of Galadriel's daughter Celebrían, who later marries Elrond, and is the mother of Arwen. Celebrían doesn't yet exist in RoP, so if she's conceived and born now, does that make her Sauron's daughter!!! Are the writers trying to provide an explanation for one of the less popular things from Jackson's films; Arwen starting to die when she commits to staying in Middle-earth, as, according to Elrond, her fate was bound up with that of the Ring? Could the show really do something that stupid? Then we get to Bombadil and Goldberry as Melkor and Ungoliant, which kind of answers my question.
I see in your eyes ... the same fear that would take the heart of me... A day may come when the courage of Tolkiens fans fails, when we forsake our Knowledge and break all bonds of J. R. R. Tolkien lores ... BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY! An hour of Amazon wolves and shattered shields when the age of Tolkiens Fans comes crashing down... but it is not this day! This day WE FIGHT! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I BID you stand!!! ALL FAANS of the LORE TOLKIENS WORLD !!! 💯💢🔥
I tried to like it I gave it so many chances. But it’s straight up bad The worst part is u can tell how smug the the writers are throughout the dialogue in the show. The entire show makes no sense. Whenever u ask a defender of the show to explain certain things, u are a racist bigot. Lol I almost wonder if Amazon is paying ppl to defend the show online
It's a distinct possibility. Amazon tried to buy the support of several influencers and fansite leaders, thinking that they in turn would sway the opinions of the general fans.
So Melkor and Ungoliant are going to be punished for their evil deeds by being forced to reincarnate as Tom Bombadil and Goldberry: the two happiest people in Middle Earth. Got it.
I know how to fix it.... Unfortunately I am a heterosexual, pious, white man of non-indigenous American birth. I am also in the top 1% of authors, being under a publishing contract already. One hint.... make the tall magical man Pallando or Alatar. Honestly I hope that they keep dragging their feet. Once my Erdani Saga {pronounced Air Donny} comes out and we get onto Netflix(?) there will be no Tolkien fan base left to watch their dumpster fire.
We need to call in the big man Peter Jackson himself only a real Hobbit can save Middle Earth from the Dark Lord up in Amazon Prime. This is coming from someone in the 37% I could just about tolerate the show until finishing the final episode then I just gave up.
Well argued. This sounds so much worse than series one. I only managed to wade through ep one and skimmed the rest and then like so many lovers of Tolkien's legendarium, had a boat load of fun watching vids of an outraged fan/readership base vent it's collective spleen over the nonsense 'created' by Amazon. My own point here is this. Why, if it matters not a jot financially and the disregard for the works of Tolkien means nothing to the company, why make it at all? What was Amazon's goal? I for one am completely and utterly baffled.
i was making lord of the rings world on fortnite creative exactly how it looks in books and i abounded due i decided to to read the hobbit and then to go back a finish that map
WELL, IT IS TRULY SAD THAT THERE ARE SO MANY WHO HAVE NO ABILITY TO JUST WATCH A SHOW FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF A FANTASY ADVENTURE THAT IT IS. YES IT WAS BASED ON TOLKIENS BOOKS THAT WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE SO MUCH. THOUGH IT IS WONDERFUL SO MANY HAVE BEEN INSPIRED TO CREATE SHOWS BASED ON THE THEME OF TOLKIENS WORKS, SO MUCH FUN TO SEE ANOTHER TAKE ON IT. MOVIE MAKERS ARE JUST HAVING FUN WITH THE STORY AND ADDING IN ANOTHER DIMENSION OF WHAT IF! IT HAPPENED THIS WAY? WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? IF YOU JUST REMOVE THE RIGID LINEAR THINKING, EXPECTATIONS AND PERCEPTIONS YOU HAVE ON THE SHOW AND JUST ENJOY IT FOR A FUN SHOW OF FANTASY AND ADVENTURE, THEN YOU WOULD NOT FEEL THE NEED TO TARE OTHERS DOWN AND THEIR CREATIVE ENDEVOURS. YOU WOULD NOT FEEL THE NEED TO CREATE NEGATIVE ATTACKS CREATING SEPERATION AND DIVISION AMONG THE HUMAN FAMILY THAT WE ARE. TRY TO CULTIVATE FRIENDSHIP, FAMILY, JOY, FUN, LAUGHTER AND ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD SO FULL OF EVIL DEEDS AND SPEECH THAT SO MANY OF US ARE TRULY DONE WITH SUCH A DARK WORLD.
OK, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR SAYING, I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY EVERYONE WHO HATE OR HAVE ISSUES WITH CERTAIN SHOWS/MOVIES, YET STILL WATCH THE SHOWS JUST TO SPEW OUT NASTY NEGATIVE CONTENT WHICH CAUSES DIVISION AMONG THE HUMAN FAMILY? IF THOSE WHO HATE SOMETHING WHY NOT JUST TURN AWAY AND IGNORE IT AND NOT GIVE IT YOUR ATTENTION AND POWER.
@shawnaleedale254 What Amazon did to an elite piece of global cultural heritage is much more deserving of your comments than one irrelevant guy making a video on obscure channel for niche audience of fantasy geeks. Or do you think we should never speak out against violation of the culture we love? Thats not freedom bro, "if you dont like it shut up and swallow" is not how freedom works. I dont agree with your comments, but I will always defend your freedom to speak your mind, regardless of how much I disagree.
Bombadil and Goldberry were cut out of the movies for good reason. It was an unnecessary indulgence and wholly irrelevant to the story. Sure, the show is crap, but it's okay to convey relevant criticism of the source material.
I'm not gonna get frustrated a second time. I won't watch. I will follow online reviews and comments so i don't have to waste my time watching it myself.
I am sure season 2 will be pure garbage. Season 1 was unwatchable, although I watched all of it. Please God let there be a miracle and make this show disappear over night before our senses are desecrated... lol
Oh yeah I remember that show. Never watched it but it introduced me to dozens of hilarious youtube show and movie reviewers.
Me too!😂
A new age or hate watching. Love it
it was the best effect of this product - to watch all those funny reviews :D the next best effect of this product was that Polish editor of Tolkien begun the edition of translation of HoME :) We are going to get 4th volume in May. Yay ! :)
The 37% people that finished the series were hate watching
I know I was. It was breathtakingly awful.
You are absolutely correct
I couldn’t take it. I think the 37% that finished it were diehards hoping for something different. That was me. I’m so pissed at what the final product was versus what it could have been that I am not interested in torturing myself anymore. I’m so angry at Amazon Prime Studios - even after almost 2yrs. I’m not going to dirty my thoughts with a bastardized depiction of Tolkien’s characters and general storyline.
I watched until the end (via torrenting mind you... don't wanna support that shite) just to know what I'm dealing with.
Hate watching indeed.
I confess, I am one of the 37% and I was rage watching.
The bit of Bombadil just......pisses me off. How dare they just fuck up more Tolkien lore. To Hell with this show and all it's defenders. Thank you for the video LJC. Love your work.

The cringe was real
As I have posted elsewhere on YT, if Sauron masquerades as Celeborn, 1) who is the guy in the lotr films, 2) who then is Celebrian’s daddy. Sauron?
The show is trash. It's best to think of it as an alternate universe, rather than a prequel to the movies.
My memory has been wiped clean of the whole stupid thing.
Great analysis. Subscribed.

6.45 Saurons Son is funny as hell😅
I hate Rings of Power with a passion. How can they make something so boring and uninspiring based on Tolkiens work? They should just do us all a favor and start over.
Starting over would be admitting defeat, sadly they wont…
Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.
Theres some good in this world mr frodo. And its worth fighting for
Never said by Tolkien once, in his entire life span.

Equally as fun, ask somebody who liked it “what did you enjoy about it?”
As they were likely scrolling tiktok with RoP in the background
Wasn't Nerd of the Rings one of the paid influencers who sold his soul?
It's a distinct possibility.
Amazon tried to buy the support of several influencers and fansite leaders, thinking that they in turn would sway the opinions of the general fans.
Imagine someone be so weak that can be manipulated by "influencers". Pathetic.
No, the dude is just trying to remain polite and find some reasonable intensity in criticism. But he is not shilling for Amazon
They will keep going with that poison?
Tomorrow comes the first teaser trailer. They are not sacked they got a new two years contract and amazon paid them their own production studio
If you thought it was a dumpster fire, wait till they impose creative freedom onto Tom and Goldberry… Nerd riots in the streets
just take the Wheel Of Time right right
So Melkor and Ungoliant are going to be punished for their evil deeds by being forced to reincarnate as Tom Bombadil and Goldberry: the two happiest people in Middle Earth. Got it.
That f*** is sh**!

Take it you haven't read much Tolkien, so be warned as doing so you may realise how much of RoP got wrong, badly wrong.
Well argued. This sounds so much worse than series one.

Season 2 leaks. Another was of saying this is Rings of Power season 2 leaks from Amazon's butt crack.

Relax, its just a bad media content, not an existential issue. Its ok if you like it. We dont.

Everyone has an openion and unfortunately you have shared yours. ..who farted.
Everyone should watch Rings of Power generated by AI. Try not to cry.
Can we just not ...!? What an absolute abhorrent disgrace to Tolkien! All in favor of boycotting this garbage comment True to Tolkien!
This season will be worse. I have up.
If you didn't like the show then why do you Make videos about the show? Why don't you make videos about the things you like. Negativity feeds itself
If you didnt like the video then why do you comment on the video? Why don’t you comment on videos you like. Negativity feeds itself

I hope anonymous hacks amazon and deletes this trash of the internet
I'm not gonna get frustrated a second time. I won't watch. I will follow online reviews and comments so i don't have to waste my time watching it myself.
Wait,if the Tolkien Estate signed off on this. Are they confirming, making it canon about Tom bejng Melkor?
Only canon for the TV-series. Not for the books.
Okay!!! I Won't watch it ever!
I am sure season 2 will be pure garbage. Season 1 was unwatchable, although I watched all of it. Please God let there be a miracle and make this show disappear over night before our senses are desecrated... lol
Think you were far too generous about this boring pile of hate-fiction.
