Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 reviews draw close for Amazon Prime Videos series. But despite all criticism that Rings of Power is not like the lore, in season 1 the marketing took a far more hostile approach to the audience. Season 2 marketing has dropped this angle by and large, but what about the rest? As Entertainment Weekly releases a new covershoot for their magazine, the real question becomes, why? But while showing the personality of the actors joking around was a welcome touch, as ever the more they talk about the show, the more problems and lore issues rear their head. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Yay our culture is being undermined again because being english is upsetting to english people who are obsessed with not being english.
I hear there is a tornado in her this time
Fast Approaching Death ? I hate being the one in telling you this. But we are getting 5 seasons of this
"Together, [K-Pop] doesn't stand a chance." Omg, did you just quote Spider-Man 3? I've been complaining about / quoting that line for 17 years! 👌😂
Dude why is there an ad every minute? I've had 6 ads in 6 minutes, check your ad settings.
One wig to rule them all, One wig to hide Him. One wig to confuse them all, and now they cannot find Him.
LOL!
Good gravy, those pants in the promo. Just turn in your man card.
And just like that @robadamson1, anonymous youtube commentor, proved to have more talent than the entire RoP team!
Except that he didn’t. He stole this from a previous post from months ago.
Lmao, we owe Clark Kent an apology
I absolutely hate these paid actors for the rings of power and I’m not talking about the people in the show…
99% of viewers cannot name any of these actors anyway.
I dislike them all equally. They're all complicit in making this terrible POS poor excuse of a show.
I bet the idea that have to attend these kinds of events is deeply embedded in every clause of their contract
Right I'm so glad disparu doesn't let us forget those morons
It sincerely feels like they take this role as a joke. They're just there for the paycheck. Whatever happened to making good art?
" . . a story, that is undeniably Tolkien."
I DENY it!
Absolutely denied
The first minute in the first episode proved it wasn’t even Tolkien.
@@chazzitz-wh4ly The first frame of the video proved it.
DENIED! STAND DOWN!
I broke my X key trying to doubt...
"She's an elf disgrace" 0:33 Such a missed opportunity for "I became a total slag".
I wasn't just a little bit of a [elf disgrace]. I became a total [elf disgrace].
13:28. He does! 😅😂
I was a young elf and I needed the money 😅
Was it "elven disgrace" or "an elf in disgrace"? I still can't figure it out.
She’s not a disgrace just not Galadriel in any way
This show is a stone because it already sank
No matter how high it looked, it never understood buoyancy.
The Sea is always right!
very sinky
It's all the navel gazing that's making them look downwards.
That's because a stone sees only downward.
Just this whole modernization of everything. The fancy modern haircuts, the fancy clothes, them posing in 4k quality, the whole soap opera look, them standing around like it’s some kind of fashion show, the insane levels of 2020s diversity, the fancy poses for magazines. It’s just so shall I say… Anti-art and Anti-authentic. It just sucks the soul and beauty out of it. It seems vapid.
i almost feel like them constantly saying "it's VERY tolkien" is them making a joke about how off the mark they're intentionally being. anyone who enjoys this has the same mentality as a seal clapping when it's thrown a rotting fish
It is anti-art. I don't know if it's subconscious or on purpose, but I'm pretty sure they want to destroy Tolkiens legacy.
@@mysmartphonechannel the worst part is at first i think they didn't want to, it's just they were so incompetent they failed, and got criticised. now, because this whole thing is an ego trip and they had their feelings hurt they're doing all of this out of malice
@@southerndiscomfort171 I don't think so. Although to be fair, I never watched the show and am doomscrolling. Look at climate protesters. Throwing paint at art ... at Stonehenge. What has this to do with climate? Look at characters like Homelander or the olympics. When I was at school someone told me I'd be a famous author once. I never really wrote anything. Well, I did, it was a theatre piece and that's a whole nother story. Was it true that I am so talented. Idk. High school is a small pond. But the point is, even as I have the inclination and kind of the desire to express myself I feel I'm just not good enough. Not only do we have the internet, we also have all of the old works to compete with. And that wasn't there. You'd go to the library, you'd get a random book. You'd get recommendations from teachers maybe. But now? The whole world is at your fingertips. Well, I have a practical job. I've had my ups and downs but you know I had them. I don't need to prove myself any more. But there's people who don't have many skills outside of art and they're mediocre. Back in the day they'd find a mediocre pub where they could play guitar. And that would be ok. But now?
In the Western art world there's this overarching feeling of uglification. I think there's a much deeper feeling of envy in many artists than just ego. They're like the men that don't get laid.
@@southerndiscomfort171 Btw there's a song called Southern comfort by two guitar girls here on TH-cam, maybe you like the band if you don't already know.
So what I'm seeing, is that Amazon learned absolutely nothing from the very valid, plethora of constructive feedback that they got from the fans after season 1.
as long as they keep selling Chinese knockoffs, they wont care
Mine was not constructive. I make sure speed up clown train.
Woke slaves don't learn. They only obey orders.
Fans? You mean bigots. Anyone who criticized it is a bigot and they hate black people and women.
Well, they at least learned not to attack the audience from the get go. That is at least a win. Maybe at this rate tby the 4th or 5th season it will finally start seeing a whiff of actual Tolkien in?
Disa looks like she runs a children's charity whose money is just _resting_ in her account.
Love the father Ted reference lol
Yep. She has that Sally fields energy.
Is she one of the founders of BLM?
Lolololololol thank you for the Father Ted joke.
jared the completeionist knows about that too
Autogen subtitles keep changing Sauron to Sarah and I feel that fits better
The Karen Lord of Mooretown.
It’s ma’am!

The last time I was this early, middle earth wasn't ghey.
What? You want to tell me that Uruk-hai wasn't an allegory for black, gay community?
Still isn't and never will be

@@andrewnevermind4902lol
Make it gay as fuck I don’t care just make the writing good for gods sake, why is is the writing so bad, millions of dollars??? How?

Dwarves in Tolkiens' works are famous for many things. Growing food isn't one of them.
In the larger dwarf settlements, they didn't even bother making or growing their own because they had so much wealth and influence they could simply buy or trade for it.
Moria was also famous for its lights that weren't fire and never dimmed.
This show is utter crap.
P.S.
The Barrow Wights DON'T exist at this point in time. The barrow downs where the Barrow Wights lived were the tombs of the men of Westernesse that had set up a kingdom in the north of middle earth. The bodies in the tombs didn't become wights until the Witch King of Angmar corrupted them. Currently in the show there is no Numenorian settlements on Middle Earth. The Witch King of Angmar isnt even alive in this show. None of the Nazgul are around because the Nine rings of men haven't been made yet. The nine rings of men that were made BEFORE the three rings of the elves!
wights.....the word is wights, we are talking about ghostly beings not dumbbells....
Thank you for this. Somebody had to say it.
@@tarksurmani6335 Sorry. Didn't mean to miss spell it.
And also, they are only "barrow wights" because they're gouls that live in the barrows... So why is Galadriel hanging out in the barrows? It's a colloquial name that the hobbits give them, not their actual name.
Ignoring the fact that they're 3000 years early. (Or 1500 in the TV show's dumb timeline).
I guess the show will have them "just be there", as some ancient and unnamed evil.
The wights are from a destroyed kingdom (Cardolan) that broke away from a kingdom (Arnor) that broke away from a realm (Kingdoms of the Dúnedain) that was created by refugees from Númenor. None of which happened yet, of course. So the timeline mangling is downright amazing.
Remember when Tom Bombadil blew up the entire death star and killed millions of orcs?
One big difference between RoP and Jackson's LOTR is that the cast in RoP talk about "canon" and Tolkien, while the cast of LOTR continuously had the book with them and read it and used it in their own acting, like when Ian McKellan reminded Sean Astin that the book describes Sam as taking Frodo's hand when he wakes up in Rivendell.
The very last day of filming, Jackson still had a copy in his hand that he looked over. He's probably read the book more than all of the people involved combined! Yeah, it's not hard when that numbers about three people out of everbody. You think "I can change him" boy has ever held any of the books; or know what the two initials R.R. stand for? I reckon, for the most part, only true fans can answer that question!
Yes, in Jackson's LOTR the actors served the story. In this piece of excrement, the story must serve the actors…Disa thinks the story is all about her. There is no grandeur because the actors are infantile- where Tolkiens story was epitomized by Gandalf saying, “Frodo was meant to have the ring…” deeper mysteries were always at work, evil was behind every shadow. In Amazon’s project there is no wonder nor expanse, just silly cos-players joking around making money hand over fist.
Facts! And as shit as the story was, with the freakin' budget they had, even if utterly bastardized, it could still have looked as good as Jackson's; but no. It looked, cheap, tacky and gaudy; synonyms for the three showrunners maybe!
I think we should at least be grateful, The RoP was given to Leslye Headland (of Acolyte); although I'd be lying if there wasn't a part of me that would be curious to see how ridiculously off kilter she could take it.
We'll always have the books and Jackson's original trilogy; shit The Hobbit's acceptable now!
To my prior point of only (majority) of true fans knowing what his initials meant; those sort of questions would have been in my interview if I'd been looking for someone to work on it; and
- who originally forged Aragorn's sword?
- Who is Estel and what does their name mean?
- The names of the fives wizards?
- What is the Ainulindale?
Anybody involved now that could answer those questions should know better and are the true evil compared to just the ignorant!
Careful...details like that will lead these activists have Frodo mounting Sam doggystyle while on their way to Mordor.
Another difference, Jackson's trilogy tried to stay faithful to Tolkien's work, where's this doesn't even try and just take odd bits and abuse them!!
“the show can get inside the villain’s head in a way that even Tolkien didn’t”
These people are pure evil
Not pure evil, just sad and deluded people.
@@matiasluukkanen7718No, pure evil. Anyone who just identifies that openly with pure evil is evil, by their own admission.
They know more about evil bc they are satan's children themselves. Bezoss is one of them.
Nah, just intensely stupid and pretentious. To think they can write better than him.
I would say ideologically motivated and rather malicious and self-righteous. Their arrogance and hubris is an obscene insult to Tolkien's beauty, truth, and genius.
Not evil though, that word needs to be used sparingly.
What in the actual f*** was that intro?? They said that on CAMERA?!
Nobody said they were smart lol
Daddy Chill 🖐🏼
Orlando Bloom cracked his ribs when horse-riding in a fight scene, yet he carried on filming. Sean Astin cut his foot on glass during the scene when trying to catch up with Frodo on the river, yet he carried on filming. Viggo Mortensen broke a couple of his toes during multiple takes of kicking an Uruk's helmet in anger, yet HE carried on filming.
Morfydd Clark needed therapy after fighting an Orc, yet WHY is she still filming?
One actor would purposely climb up a mountain because they don't like flying on helicopters, while in he outfit for the scene!
@@superomegaprimemk2 That was Sean Bean aka Boromir. And Viggo also lost a good part of one of his teeth, while filming the batel of Helms Deep but only broke one toe in one take. And the small actor of Gimli nearly drowned in one of the elven boats, because he couldn't swim. Was also rescued by Viggo, who sat behind him.
"How can we try harder to emulate the success of The Acolyte"?
1950's: "In the future we will have flying cars and time machines!"
The Future: "Sauron is bisexual."
just be happy thety are not showing pegging on screen.......yet

There's no such thing as bisexual, u r either straight or u r not.
Even Blade Runner looks utopian now, there were flying cars and off world colonies by 2019.
Remember when we were hyped for new Middle-Earth, rather than grimly resigned? Those were good days. I miss those days.
The sad thing, the really sad thing...is I kinda love the casting of Rory Kinnear as Tom Bombadil. He's lovely, he's warm and affable and charming and he does heartful and fuzzy so well. But with a sliiiight undercurrent of something a little bit dark, or uncertain, or unknowable. He's got a background in theatre and Shakespeare and it all just makes sense to me. His casting makes sense to me. I don't know if it's 'dream' casting, but it's probably 'as close as we're likely to get' casting, perhaps.
The really tragic thing is knowing I'm probably going to hate what they 'do' with him. Sigh.
I never was, because I knew what Amazon would do.
@@Blisterdude123I love Rory Kinnear too, but this casting is all wrong.
@@zoebaggins90 I think the casting is only wrong in the context of this show, really. I didn't realise how much I'd quite like to maybe see like, a small little vignette or something, of Kinnear as Bombadil, in his cosy little cottage, reciting some poetry, or singing a song. Not some billion dollar soap opera, just like a tiny little passion project.
@@harbl99 I still am. Only not for the Amazon prime version of it. This is not Tolkienso we can laugh about it but not take it serious
In their interviews they're obviously just taking the piss about Tolkien, the IP, the lore etc. They're just contemptuous about it which is why they're giggling and eye rolling. F*ck em.
They hate Tolkien so much, because he is a white man, and was inspired by european civilizations, and it's so obvious! 😡
Yes, I sensed that from day 1 and it hasn't let up. Activists in charge of productions now, not creatives or real actors - just lunatics who have taken control of the asylum.
To have contempt, they would first need to even know who Tolkien is. I'm pretty sure no one working on this show has ever seen the movies or read any of the books.
@@brainflash1 Exactly, these actors know squat about Tolkien and his vision for his secondary world. It's really beyond their comprehension.
Dude, if I wasn't aware of the previous series, I would think you made the whole thing up with AI.
What? Sauron bangs Galadriel?
I’m not convinced it wasn’t done by AI.
If you fed AI the entirety of Tolkien's work and then asked it to write an original story, the result would be soulless, derivative and far more accurate than RoP.
Amazon should have picked up the rights to ACOTAR and just done that shit instead
If you look up Abandoned films for their Silmarilion and Rings of Power and Children of Hurin trailer, those were made with AI. Go check those out because those are something better.
@@2012sonorastill better then what these two humans have done, look up Abamdoned Films they made three Lord of the Rings trailers with AI.
It's hilarious because if Tolkien were alive today, they all would call him a racist bigot. 😆😆😆
Haven't they already called him problematic? They were inspired and thought it was the most amazing thing ever but problematic.
I’ve seen enough criticism because of the lack of meaty rolls for women. Even Jackson had to insert the ones he had a few extra times
What are they talking about, the Seven Rings don't give "light" or would help with crops
here's what they do
"The rings, used only for the gaining of wealth, amplified their wearer's natural skills and desire for dominion which as a consequence, made them greedy and exceedingly rich; the Rings gave them the power to multiply whatever they mined." -- The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A
Yeah, when he brought that up, I was like; pretty sure one of them was just the midas touch effect.
@@adamjenkins7653 Actually all the dwarven rings were like that. Sauron eventually reclaimed all of them because he realized they were just making the dwarves greedier instead of bending them to his will.
They actually believe they are better than Tolkien.....
To quote that one admiral from Star Trek Picard: "The sheer fucking hubris".
He's only a straight white Christian male, so they're way higher up on the victimhood hierarchy and therefore superior.
I love the fact that they think Sauron betrayed Galadriel, when in fact she betrayed and abandoned him.
That is what betrayal is for people in upside down land. "See what you made me do?!"
The moral butchering of right and wrong in their interactions just so goddamn awful that it boggles the mind. Galadriel literally does everything wrong, yet we are supposed to believe the trappings of the story.
Galadriel: Makes huge mistake.
Galadriel 5 minutes later: How could Sauron do this to me!!!!
@@1PlebeianWhat’s worse is that they didn’t show anything of her seeing through Mairon from day one and figured out she never seen any Annatar in Valanor (Valinor to Man).
All 20 rings were meant to go to the elves (300-500years of his infiltration & deception down the drain.) but Mairon of the Maiar(primordial angelic beings in simple terms as they are sort of beyond angels) disguised as a high elf named Annatar when he came to the elves pretending to be an emissary from Valinor on behalf of the Valar so it makes sense how alluring the ring is and how strong it’s pull on people is. (A bit too instant in the movies though) Galadriel soon saw right through him and especially when after speaking with him regarding not remembering him when in Valinor long ago where she learned from all the Valar thanks to being dominantly Vanyar/Teleri side over her Noldorin side where she gleaned from that encounter that she did not study under Aulë the Vala with any elf named Annatar ! But later named Sauron by the elves meaning deceiver! After all of this, The three elven rings were made in secret without Saurons touch upon them thanks to Celebrimbor! Remember Gandalf before he became Gandalf was the same species of entity Sauron used to be!! Wow hey?
The Rings in this case, would have lost their powers eventually due to the lack of the One Ring and possibly because they were designed to defeat evil, & evil in the form of Sauron had been defeated twice already in the past.
The Three Elven Rings served their purpose for a long time. Two out of three of them had several different bearers Unlike the other Rings, the main purpose of the Three is to "heal and preserve", as when Galadriel used Nenya to preserve her realm of Lothlórien over long periods. The Elves made the Three Rings to try to halt the passage of time, or as Tolkien had Elrond say, "to preserve all things unstained". I can expand upon this based on any further statements & questions you have for me as a reply to this comment ! ❤
There is problem here with the Rings, the Three were supposed to be never touched by Sauron and that's why they were not corrupting…Sauron had not taken part in their making which made the Three more 'pure' unsullied by his dark power, unlike the Nine and Seven Rings! But Sauron in the show touched the very material they were made of!!! So technically he could have tainted them and corrupted!
Even appendices of Lot tell us the order of making the rings, so they didn't even need the righs to more detailed writings in UT or Silmarillion:
1200
Sauron endeavours to seduce the Eldar. Gil-galad refuses to treat with him; but the smiths of Eregion are won over. The Númenoreans begin to make permanent havens.
c. 1500
The Elven-smiths instructed by
Sauron reach the height of their skill.
They begin the forging of the Rings of Power.
c. 1590
The Three Rings are completed in Eregion.
c. 1600
Sauron forges the One Ring in
Orodruin. He completes the Barad-dûr. Celebrimbor perceives the designs of Sauron.
1693
War of the Elves & Sauron begins.
The Three Rings are hidden."
'Did you not hear me, Gloin?' said Elrond. 'The Three were not made by Sauron, nor did he ever touch them.
But of them it is not permitted to speak. So much only in this hour of doubt I may now say. They are not idle. But they were not made as weapons of war or conquest: that is not their power. Those who made them did not desire strength or domination or hoarded wealth, but understanding, making, and healing, to preserve all things unstained.
These things the Elves of Middle-earth have in some measure gained, though with sorrow. But all that has been wrought by those who wield the Three will turn to their undoing, and their minds and hearts will become revealed to Sauron, if he regains the One."
-
The 3 Elven Rings are not susceptible to “The One Ring” in any direct way.. They’re only tied by fate to lose their power if Sauron is defeated completely & absolutely. As they were made by the elves and as always they make things for a purpose and pour their literal spirit into things they create. So if Sauron is defeated then the three rings power will fade and basically become almost useless or diminished versions of their original design since by this era magic has bled from the world by a huge degree thanks to Morgoth’s poisoning the world itself with his very essence that he poured into it. Called The Long Defeat By The Elves and The Men Of The West.
@@1Plebeianguess TH-cam is automatically deleting my comments again. All I said was she saw through Annatar on day one and he couldn’t read her mind but she could read his without the MAIA knowing all while simultaneously exiting any encounter with him gracefully.
“Want to look tough and wear curtains”😂😂😂 4:01
I just love how they keep deliberately not addressing the fact that they've already destroyed Tolkien's lore and nothing they're doing now is fixing it. Shoving random Tolkien characters into the story doesn't make anything any better. In fact, it makes it worse because you're putting them in where they shouldn't be. Heck, they could have had Galadriel suddenly wake up from a nightmare next to Celeborn and she's relieved that season 1 didn't really happen. It would have been stupid but would have given them a chance to fix all the stupid stuff they did.
actually not that bad. maybe not a nightmare but a vision from her water thing she uses to show frodo what happens if he dont manage to destroy the ring. a very very very very bad vision
Isildur vs Shelob I find especially stupid. Especially with Mordor so supposedly new - did she come with the volcano?
@@bricelory9534 In the first episode, they had some momentary appearance of a spider by one of the trees, I think (not going to go back and verify). I assume that was supposed to be Shelob, too, since they like to just say, "LOOK! It's Tolkien stuff!" rather than bother with lore.
I don't know if they'll remember that they did that and they'll probably have some dumb excuse for it.
To do it properly she would have had to wake up and find him in the shower, but I agree.
Damn it, every time Sauron & Celebrimbor are on screen together, I’m going to hear the Pet Shop Boys in my head, “You’ve got the Brawn, I’ve got the brains…”

One of the world's smartest fantasy stories is now in the hands of the world's dumbest writers.
I wouldn't say Lord of the Rings was the smartest, but it was definetly had the best developed lore.
@@brainflash1The writing in LoTR is some of the most compelling, the dialogue is fantastic, just get past the hobbit intro and it’s all uphill. When you compare ROP to it, ROP is like bad fan fiction. Tolkien was a scholar and a professor and a man with real world experience that translated to his writings. These cushy ROP writers couldn’t get even close to his genius.
Can they write? Seriously, do these people know the alphabet?
@@brainflash1"ONE of the smartest" and "THE smartest" are two different phrases and imply two different things...
At San Diego Comicon, Amazon held their event in Hall H, which is a 6,100 seat venue. This is where they premiered their trailer for season two of TROP. There were about 400 people in attendance. Wait, it gets better!
Outside of the venue, where the attendees mull about and interact, they announced the start of the TROP event several times because there were so few who attended the event. By the third announcement, the crowd outside of Hall H was actually laughing.
The power of insanity….😆
They really know how to stoop lower as they go on.
The outfits also prove there isn’t much improvement to the show.
“In a way that Tolkien didn’t” thinking you’re breaking ground compared to Tolkien is the most pompous thing I’ve ever read. This is sickening.
No one has misunderstood the target audience more than this show. And yes I know about Star Wars, Dr Who, Marvel, etc.
Well rop s2 is not out yet but if it manages to be worst than the acolyte then i will watch it out of respect for you CANT make something THAT bad easily.
Indeed, of all the fandoms I know of, Tolkien fans are keen for historical accuracies and honoring his legacy: which is a legacy of finely-crafted, highly-detailed history of the natural and supernatural intermingling, with strong timeless themes of good resisting an unrelenting evil.
In short, it has nothing to do with caring about the trends of Current Year and would prefer all its actors wearing tweed when not on set, thank you very much (joking, but for a point).
Tolkiens idea of a safe space was Helms deep .
No, it was the shire.
Nah, his safe space was Mordor.
I mean, people can't just walk into it, after all.

Im surprised they finally mentioned Tolkien in the marketing at all
Only to sh1t on his memory
Begrudgingly, I am sure

It won't, because content creators keep talking about this rubbish to earn money, except of ignoring it.
Actually Tolkien told us exactly what all the rings did. The 3 made for the elves had specific abilities crafted by Celebrimbor, but the 16 others had the same powers:
They had power over death (sold by Sauron as the means to make Middle Earth like Valinor, but ultimately it was used to keep the wearer alive)
They enhanced what you were. A sorcerer becomes a great sorcerer (the Witch King of Angmar could raise the dead). A leader becomes a spectacular leader (Gondor had a golden age under Isildur). Hobbits are good at parties and gardens, and Bilbo's 111th party was the best anyone had ever seen.
Disparu convinced Oscar the grouch to check himself into a homeless shelter😢
They say they'll get into Sauron's head "Like Tolkien didn't" and then give a horrifically contrived idea that is far shallower than Tolkien told us about Sauron's motivations and persona. Sauron is the first lieutenant and right hand of Morgoth. He is conquering Middle Earth because that is his birthright as Morgoth's right hand. For Middle Earth was Morgoth's Ring, his destiny, for he had sung a different song than the other Ainur and felt that he had truly created. Sauron isn't trying to "save" middle earth. He's trying to put it under, what he views as, proper management.
Long ago, Mairon originally did want order any way he could get it since Melkor(Now Morgoth) destroyed everything and poisoned the world itself to where Arda is bleeding away its magic. Thatsywhy mystical phenomenon and events happen less and less. But since there’s nothing left to rule without anyone fighting he decided to burn it to the ground so nobody could have it. If it happened Dagor Dagorath would have happened much faster. Amazon show is stil an abomination
Side note. Melkor LOVED it when other beings would hate and loath him. Where as Sauron/Mairon loved order and even worship. Heck. Even at the very end some orcs actually lived in Bree that were free from the dark lord. As they are the biggest victims and ruined forms of life by Sauron/Melkor’s own hands. Heck. Even Morgoth often referred to himself as Melkor. But it’s known that terrible things happen to any ainur (Maiar and Valar alike that turn away from Eru and their purpose for too long. They even forget their purpose and their own name at some point. Even to the point of transforming into something else entirely.

And that shows they never even read the books. In the first few pages there's heaps about harefoots, which immediately contradicts there so called "excuses".
Which books describe the Harefoots?
You mean Harfoots.
@@brainflash1 the lord of the rings. The very opening. You have a whole description that goes into hobbit lore. What hobbits are, how they came to the shire, their culture, their lifestyle.
@@mitch4672 Oh, I thought it was title outside of the main series.
There is a lot of things people can relate to in the works of Tolkien. Courage, Friendship, Fear, Wanderlust, Sacrifice, Compassion, Doubt, the Battle between of Good vs Evil, Stoicism, Loss, Pain, Love, and many, many more.
The LGBT deviancy is not, and never was, one of them.
Well said!!!!
These people can't relate to any of those things.
It is the story of good vs evil MADE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE EVIL PEOPLE!!
They just don't get it! They don't understand humility, gratefulness, tranquility, satisfaction. They understand pride, greed, and endless desires. And they think they are the good ones!
LGB cut off the other infiltration soup letters. There are many people who happen to be married to another man that hate the woke leftist Marxist ideologues trying to ruin everything so there’s nothing left but their drivel, many gay men who aren’t shopaholic flamers either. Many just want to be left alone

I made it to episode 4 and tapped out. Even getting that far required several months of therapy afterwards. But, the straw that broke the camel's back was the guy in the market trying to start a riot because "They terk are jerbs!" The one elf. On the whole island.
*the one Elf that actually NEVER was there :D
Those words are like a mirror in front of my soul
the actors(and I use THAT term loosely!!) appearing in these trailers are without doubt the most vapid, bland, posturing collection of loveys you could ever have the misfortune to meet, they giggle like little kids being photographed at a nine-year-old's birthday party, they haven't got a single intelligent thing to say between the lot of them, they're dressed like an explosion in a charity store stockroom, and they collectively succeed in making anyone with any functioning braincells who is looking on, simply decided to watch the forthcoming world international paint drying competition instead.......I hate to tell you this, guys, but if this "trailer" is meant to get us eager to watch season two, it's failed miserably, and you've wasted your money.........
I will never get over the "blacks (or non whites) in fantasy clothes" thing. Or even non fantasy like armor. It just looks off. It also applies to whites in African tribe wear or something.
Yeah because those fantasy clothes and armor are derived from medieval and classical European dress
🙋♂ If Peter Jackson had promoted his LOTR films like this, I would never have watched them. 🤮
Ah Christ, does this mean big body suits and pants at coming back into fashion? It was f*ing terrible them, and it'll only be worse the second time around.
90% of fashion is lather rinse and repeat
The arrogance or complete lack or self-awareness to think they have writing talent on the same level as Tolkien
They don’t have writing on the level of Curious George.
There only exist 3 adaptations, the cartoon one, the TLOTR trilogy, and the hobbit one, this is just a million dollar fanfic. IT WILL NEVER BE CANNON.
Can it really be called a fanfic if they aren't fans?
Calling Rings of Power a fanfic would imply that the writers were fans.
I hate everything about this with every living cell of my body!🤬🤮
Never thought I'd live to see the day they turned epics like the LOTR into a freaking Soap Opera 2:35
This fashion show with the garden motives looks like on of the LP covers of the Irish folk band Clannad in the 70ties
motifs
Dear god. It is almost here isnt it. Brace! Brace for impact!
Given that last article, I'm guessing the tagline for this season is going to be 🎶It was Sauron aaall along🎶.
One Show to cringe them all...
I don't understand why bad show runners don't give more praise to content creators. They are the only people watching their nonsense.
I literally don't give a fuck about RoP anymore, but i love watching you destroy this trash.
I had forgotten how offensive that fake Travellers' Irish accent was. What is it with Hollywood and offensive Irish folklorery?
I think most people love Irish accents... they sound pleasant and non threatening
@@Songbirdstress it's about as weird as their obsession with making everyone Black.
@@iturnedintoamartian-cm6ndActual Irish accents and stage Oirish are not the same thing. I would say the Ulster/NI accent sounds quite threatening. Might be terrorist associations in my head but that is life.
Your videos on ROP has been the best.
The cast seem to have that last season of Game of Thrones energy. Where they know it's rubbish and are having a laugh.
I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get a few Emilia Clarke "best season ever" moments.
14:48 he flipping nailed the show there lol
They look like a Fleetwood Mac cover band .... LMAO 🤣
And Fleetwood Mac looked BETTER..
"They just copy the aiel from Wheel of Time"
Exactly, they're in the process of butchering multiple beloved worlds, may as well combine them.
I won't be watching villianess galadriel or her fallen hero halbrand, but I'm looking forward to you watching it for us.
I hear there is a tornado in her this time
it takes D cells
Actually an ice storm.... it froze her face into permanent RBF
More of a tropical depression, really.
What the hell are they wearing!?!
Identify it as Clothing
XD
Readymade junk! Nothing in comparison to the elaborate outfits we saw in LOTR... Just check out Carl Urban's video where he's admiring and showing off the helmet he got to keep from his role in the production..a true work of art. So so cool he got to keep it. I was role playing in the late 90's till 2013 and we were doing real chainmail BY HAND, just to play Tolkien in a goddamn forest.. this is a billion dollars production with Amazon and the costumes look like crap,it's beyond embarrassing
Dead on arrival. I won’t be watching, but I will be watching your reviews 😂
I like how the one sitting on the tree flourished her arm like that dress was going to do something cool, but NOTHING HAPPENED. 😂😂😂😂
Why does the dude keep saying "very Tolkien!" About things that are obviously very not Tolkien. Its almost like he's a disingenuous hack!
repeat a lie often enough...
You can get away with being a hack with the right talent. The author of the godfather even called himself a hack for writing it. These people have no talent
@@flabbergast_se Yeah... I thought the same... damn....
PS: For those who didn't know: When you hear a lie often enough, you will start to believe it - no matter if you initially knew it was a lie or not. Psychological warfare on its finest 😕
He's being sarcastic.
Wait, that "fashion show" doesn't even have them in their costumes and makeup from the show.
At least we hope not
So it's now set in the Regency period? Oh, thank god it's just for a magazine photoshoot.
"i dont make my sexuality my personality"
also "only way to 'see myself" in a character is if theyre the same sexuality, irregardfless of what theyre like otherwise"
Welp time for Disparu to come back to the states. He needs another haircut from Mrs. Nerdrotic 😄
Sometimes I wonder if this is just one big truman show with the general population not being in on the joke. The surveillance part fits as well.
Always enjoy your content, never gets old.
one of te things that's positive about these things being released is that they at least show the subcultures like fans of LOTR just how different they are than the general public and the mindless normie masses.
Proving, quite nicely, that - even if there isn't a "bright" side - there's always at least a side that's less dark. Well said.
I think they should go full alternative time line as they clearly don't want to stay in canon, I'm for totally ditching it and go fully crazy
if they just pitched it as "gay 17 year old writes LOTR fanfic" and stopped pretending it had any artistic integrity at all it probably wouldn't cop so much flak
The only thing worth watching about any of this is going to be the mockery of it.
Describe the upcoming season in one word:
"Line?"
So because of climate change, there was a problem growing crops in Middle Earth. If only the Dwarfs had switched to solar panels and EVs, the Dwarfs might not have been tempted to accept the ring, to counter the effects of climate change.
This looks somehow worse than last seasons cardboard armor. Its like they went to a formal ren fair
it would be more believable if you told me that amazon made this for youtubers to make content than they thought they actually made a good show
Amazon actually might have. The actors seem to think otherwise, though.
There are plenty of things that Tolkien didn't put in Lord of the Rings.
Gay Elves, murderous hobbits, sociopathic Galadriel, weak and incompetent Elendil with an even weaker and incompetent son Isildur, kindly uncle Sauron looking for redemption, Celebrimbor ignoring alloys, black bearlesss female dwarves ....
Thus the evil empire of Amazon in its infinite hubris beheld those holes and filled them . And the people wailed and ran, filled with unspeakable terror while Middle Earth crashed and burned.
Oh wow. I didn’t notice those things.
"murderous hobbits" So you say that Smeagol acted in self-defence? :P
But yeah, I get what you mean and I agree :)
"Then it gets worse." Something we didn't think was possible but here we are...
This “Ringworld” lacks structural integrity and will inevitably fail. That’s not a shame.
More like ringworm
Those oversized clothing must be the New Style. My wife and I were in Joann's Fabric, and they displayed a picture of a model wearing an oversized suit so broad that would have made David Byrne salivate in envy.
Where is his beautiful house?
The first ROP teaser was like a shampoo commercial. This one is a silly fashion show.
I dunno who is better at roasting, this guy or Az 🤣
I was waiting for the 'throbing' bit 😏
