2nd age lasts 3,441 years Galadriel was born in 1362 in Valinor in the Year of the Trees, before the First Age. Galadriel married Celeborn at the end of the First Age. Celebrian was born in 300 of the Second Age. Sauron rises again in Middle Earth in 500 Mordor, which has existed since the First Age, Mount Doom, being the original fortress of Morgoth, had been chosen as Sauron's stronghold, as Sauron constructed the Black Gate in 1000 Sauron deceives the Ñoldor in Eregion, but Gil-Galad distrusts him in 1200 Celeborn and Galadriel, together with their daughter Celebrían, emigrate from Eregion to Lothlórien in 1350 The Ñoldor under Celebrimbor are instructed by Sauron, beginning the forging of the Rings of Power in 1500; Galadriel has been in Lothlórien for 150 years by this point, in no way involved with the forging or any of the events to come... The One Ring was forged, and the Black Gate was completed in 1600. Celebrimbor also perceives Sauron's treachery at this time. Galadriel is still in Lothlórien... War of the Elves and Sauron began in 1693 Eregion was destroyed in 1697, Celebrimbor died, and Elrond established Rivendell. Rivendell and Lindon were besieged in 1699 but held off the sieges Sauron's forces, nearly entirely destroyed, retreated from Eriador in 1700 Miriel was never Queen of Númenor. Ar-Pharazôn the Golden seized the phone by marriage in 3255 Sauron was taken hostage by Ar-Pharazôn the Golden, not Miriel, in 3261 Sauron was taken prisoner to Númenor and further corrupted the Númenoreans in 3262 Sauron becomes Ar-Pharazôn's court advisor in 3265 In 3310, at Sauron's instigation, Ar-Pharazôn begins building the Great Armament, a massive fleet to assail the Valar across the Sea and wrest immortality from them. In 3319, Ar-Pharazôn set foot on Aman, drastically changing the world; Aman and Tol Eressëa were removed from Arda, Númenor was drowned, and the world was round. This was also when Elendil arrived with his sons Isildur and Anárion. Umbar becomes a stronghold of the Black Númenoreans in 3320 Sauron surprise attacks and seizes Minas Ithil in 3429 and burns the White Tree, beginning the War of the Last Alliance. The Last Alliance of Elves and Men formed in 3430 Sauron's forces are defeated in the Battle of Dagorlad, and the Siege of Barad-dûr begins in 3434 Anárion is slain in 3440 Elendil and Gil-Galad died in combat against Sauron in 3441, and Isildur finally defeated Sauron by taking the shards of his father's sword, Narsil, and cutting the One Ring from Sauron's finger. This destroyed Sauron's physical form and won the war. Why is Galadriel involved in anything beyond 1350? She is supposed to be in Lothlórien. Did anyone on this garbage show know anything about Tolkien's world and Middle Earth?! When are the events of Rings of Power supposed to take place? The Second Age? Galadriel can only be involved up to 1350. Isildur was born in 3209 but is in the show. Ar-Pharazôn weds Miriel in 3255, so again, Galadriel can't be involved since Galadriel HAS BEEN IN Lothlórien SINCE 1350! READ THE LORE!

I've noticed that all the recent fantasy shows have elves who look and act like ordinary humans, just with pointy ears on. There's nothing special or other worldly about them. They don't seem ancient, wise or magical.
And a lot of them being black is the most hilariously r tarded thing ever, it just doesn’t make any sense for black people to exist in that part of the world in a medieval period but the worst thing they could do is make them catastrophically BORING 🥱 what a f***ing joke
@@vahidoph Hello, I am a Xenomorph that learned your human language (Californian English) in order to communicate our plight. The only reason that my species attacks, eats, and utilizes your still-living bodies as incubators to propagate our species is that we have been oppressed by the evil cavemen of your ancient past, who refused to let us use them as fodder and incubation pods for our young. So really, this is all your fault. Your species is bad, and should feel bad. Directed by J.J. Abrams
These writers think we're brain dead. Not only do they feel the need to spell everything out for us, but it's all just so predictably bland and unbelievably stupid. The writers probably pat themselves on the back every time they put a sentence in the script... "Amazing, just utterly amazing!"
I'm starting to think that they just don't care, they know that stuff they do is crap, but payment is good regardless. After all that billion dollars have to go somewhere. It isn't going for actor or extras salaries, not costumes or sets, not CGI, music maybe a small part. So someone is pocketing it. They don't even try to make it resemble Tolkien at this point.
"Morgoth is gone, leaving us alone in disgrace, but today a new age begins, under me, your new master. . . Sauron." You know, because all the orcs were just standing around thinking to themselves, "who the hell is this foppish twit that we've never heard of and totally don't have a plan to assassinate during his coronation?" I guess it was necessary exposition for all the viewers who couldn't figure it out from the unique crown that literally everyone has seen before, because we all know how much the writers hate to leave someone's identity in question.
The moment Amazon Prime memory holes 'The Rings of Power' as losses for a tax refund- doing to it what Disney did to the 'Willow' TV series, and Warner Bros. to 'Batgirl'- we can use the talentless hacks who claim to be its showrunners for the same.
Yea, but they portrayed him as if he was in the wrong. All his efforts led to nothing and Galadriel is still portrayed as being in the right and is held back by the men around her. Even her mistakes are being framed as not really mistakes, and her "weakness" is framed as having romantic feelings towards Sauron.
Sauron's "the ides of March" is an insult to intelligence and desecration of LOTR lore. I couldn't believe what I saw. Billion dollars burnt on this? Who greenlits such projects?
Sauron in Tolkien : Evil, cunning, careful, depictive, powerful, an angel. Sauron in ROP : dies to orcs... yeah fcking nope that ain't even Sauron. An orcs will is basically controlled by Sauron. They are as loyal as dogs to him. They might be terrified of him, but they love the destruction he brings. They would never ever betray him. Any orc being disloyal would be craved into itty bitty pieces and feed to their brethren. They follow him because he the big man and big man is powerful and scary. Nothing could ever possibly scare them more, they can't betray him because they know what he would do to them.
I thought about maybe probably possibly watching it, but I decided on the Doctor Who tactic.... I went and touched grass instead. Specifically, I mowed the grass. It was a knee slapping good time. 10/10...highly recommended
Apparently Sauron's form could be killed easily enough until he forged the One Ring. The problem, however, is that Sauron was already established as unkillable in the original trilogy. So how do you go back to "fragile" Sauron afterwards, and especially when the writers are so stupid and can't make that compelling in any way.
What PUZZLES me to no end - Jeff Bezos wanted to make LOTR - But didn't own all the rights - However his 'team' had enough to work with - WHY would you NOT WANT the BEST show out there to HONOR - J.R.R Tolkien? Why not get the best people for the job {Um, like PETER JACKSON}??? IMAGINE, making an incredible show that respects the world AND the creator!??
As someone who lacks the fortitude to put myself through another season of this disaster, thank you for your service and sacrifice, Az. You're the hero we needed.
So what’s it say about all you guys who want to desperately know what happens in a show you all claim to hate that you’ll watch an overweight nobody TH-camr bitch and cry over the same show week after week. Yea, homeboy really is a hero. 🤡🤡
fun fact i just remembered, in the show the swords of the numinorians were crafted by Sauron, including the one Isildur has in the show. how much you want to bet the show forgot that little tidbit
I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but it would be nice if they'd filmed this "show" in such a way that I could actually see what's happening on the darker parts. That'd be nice to actually see what's happening. Besides that, this show is built on the foundational cesspool that is ROP season one and is just as bad in all the same ways as the first season. This is not Tolkien. This isn't even "inspired by Tolkien." This is the thinest veneer of Tolkiens' works and lore badly pasted on a terrible show with zero redeeming qualities.
Come on AZ, you HAVE TO keep watching. I was anxious to come to your channel for the episodes reviews. I used to dislike this show, but since I started to watch your reviews. Man this is the best comedy show ever. WILL BE COUNTING ON YOU FOR EP 2.
You have to do it AZ, think of the thousands and thousands of people who you are saving from pain and depression by watching it for them. It can be classed as a noble sacrifice for the sake of ideologically, and intelligent normal people everywhere. That shot you showed at the end shows without any doubt at all how incredibly and disgustingly bad this shit-show - and to what their purpose is (apart from the deliberate destruction of Tolkien's work).
The thing about woke "stories" is that they all look, sound, and feel the same at the end of the day. The can't write any new stories, because their belief system and shattered moral compasses literally won't let them, so they have to appropriate established franchises...oh, and improve them, because they can do it better.
The whole opening with Sauron being "killed" and then his Venom-like form crawling under mountains and over terrain until he consumes that woman and becomes Hell-brand was the show runners trying to copy the opening of Return of the King in which we see Smeagol find the ring and then follow it consuming him. You see him go under the mountains and his form change into Gollum. Another reason, is they're trying to establish that Sauron can change his form.
Az, the reason why the shit show cost a billion dollars, and why no one cares and why its so rushed is because it's money laundering. They don't care that it sucks because everyone who is involved with the shitty show is getting rich. Great video as always, man.
I watched them hoping the show (I actually don't give a crap about) would at least present some semblance of a character worth rooting for among the hartfoots, 'because I wasn't going to find one anywhere else in the show; but it turns out that the harfoots are terrible creatures who deserve each other. It's like passing a trainwreck while drunk. I came, I saw, but I swear hardly remember a thing.
I love Az's breakdown frame by frame from episodes whereas other youtubers montage it. The humour he adds while remembering the details of the episode is always a great watch. The only complaint I have is him not doing the same type of videos for post timeless child doctor who (season 12) for flux and the specials (I found the discussions with nerdrotic a bit plain and he should have done deeper reviews on his main channel).
As a multi decade Tolkien devotee I was offended that this show exists (which is the point of the show, I believe) but thanks to you I'll just think of it as an extremely bad parody.
Probably getting to recoop from his years on FNT, killin' it on his weight loss, the opportunity to make his fans laugh...oh, and the Acolyte season 2 is cancelled. Yup, I reckon anyone would be quite refreshed. 😂
"I started fantasizing about Hoovering my staircase" took me a minute to realize that wasn't a euphemism and you literally meant vacuuming your stairs 😂
First thing season 1 does is Kill an Eagle. You know, symbol of hope and wisdom to the point they save the day in both hobbit and LotR? Yeah. Amazon opens by killing one.
I’m sorry Az but we need more of your review because you’re speaking how we’re all thinking and if it wasn’t so horrible it would be hilarious! Do love your take one the trash that is ROP! Hang in there and thank you for watching this trash when I definitely couldn’t bring myself to! At least you make it entertaining, thank you!
For some reason, my membership for your channel was not renewed automatically by YT, so I had to do it manually. @Az: Seeing you in that video, and now, you look like a different guy. Keep up your diet and exercise, my friend, you look so much healthier, it's unbelievable! Hail to you and Mr. Porkchop!
I’ve seen the recommendation for the show on the Amazon Prime page for a couple of days, and every time I’m like: „Uh, nah, not today, what’s else on the tube?“
Not a fan but i had to come in and say that thumbnail is really funny. Lol… Good work… You got someone who is not a fan of these channels to come in and engage.
OMG that panoramic shot of the "elves" - hahahahahaha. Wait let me catch my breath over here. Hahahahahahaha. I thought Haldir from the Peter Jackson production was a bit swarthy (nope, that blonde wig did not cancel out his dark 5 o'clock shadow), but now we get this. When does the pendulum swing back again?
Az’s physical health: excellent.
Az’s mental health: rapidly deteriorating.
Balanced, as all things should be.
Az’s therapist’s wallet: burgeoning.
It's not deteriorating fast enough for my liking.
Az died. The show can't hurt him any longer. He's at peace now.
2nd age lasts 3,441 years
Galadriel was born in 1362 in Valinor in the Year of the Trees, before the First Age.
Galadriel married Celeborn at the end of the First Age.
Celebrian was born in 300 of the Second Age.
Sauron rises again in Middle Earth in 500
Mordor, which has existed since the First Age, Mount Doom, being the original fortress of Morgoth, had been chosen as Sauron's stronghold, as Sauron constructed the Black Gate in 1000
Sauron deceives the Ñoldor in Eregion, but Gil-Galad distrusts him in 1200
Celeborn and Galadriel, together with their daughter Celebrían, emigrate from Eregion to Lothlórien in 1350
The Ñoldor under Celebrimbor are instructed by Sauron, beginning the forging of the Rings of Power in 1500; Galadriel has been in Lothlórien for 150 years by this point, in no way involved with the forging or any of the events to come...
The One Ring was forged, and the Black Gate was completed in 1600. Celebrimbor also perceives Sauron's treachery at this time. Galadriel is still in Lothlórien...
War of the Elves and Sauron began in 1693
Eregion was destroyed in 1697, Celebrimbor died, and Elrond established Rivendell.
Rivendell and Lindon were besieged in 1699 but held off the sieges
Sauron's forces, nearly entirely destroyed, retreated from Eriador in 1700
Miriel was never Queen of Númenor. Ar-Pharazôn the Golden seized the phone by marriage in 3255
Sauron was taken hostage by Ar-Pharazôn the Golden, not Miriel, in 3261
Sauron was taken prisoner to Númenor and further corrupted the Númenoreans in 3262
Sauron becomes Ar-Pharazôn's court advisor in 3265
In 3310, at Sauron's instigation, Ar-Pharazôn begins building the Great Armament, a massive fleet to assail the Valar across the Sea and wrest immortality from them.
In 3319, Ar-Pharazôn set foot on Aman, drastically changing the world; Aman and Tol Eressëa were removed from Arda, Númenor was drowned, and the world was round. This was also when Elendil arrived with his sons Isildur and Anárion.
Umbar becomes a stronghold of the Black Númenoreans in 3320
Sauron surprise attacks and seizes Minas Ithil in 3429 and burns the White Tree, beginning the War of the Last Alliance.
The Last Alliance of Elves and Men formed in 3430
Sauron's forces are defeated in the Battle of Dagorlad, and the Siege of Barad-dûr begins in 3434
Anárion is slain in 3440
Elendil and Gil-Galad died in combat against Sauron in 3441, and Isildur finally defeated Sauron by taking the shards of his father's sword, Narsil, and cutting the One Ring from Sauron's finger. This destroyed Sauron's physical form and won the war.
Why is Galadriel involved in anything beyond 1350? She is supposed to be in Lothlórien.
Did anyone on this garbage show know anything about Tolkien's world and Middle Earth?!
When are the events of Rings of Power supposed to take place? The Second Age? Galadriel can only be involved up to 1350. Isildur was born in 3209 but is in the show.
Ar-Pharazôn weds Miriel in 3255, so again, Galadriel can't be involved since Galadriel HAS BEEN IN Lothlórien SINCE 1350!

Tolkien was a fucking genius and we get Beavis and Butthead over here pondering why rocks don’t float.
Excellent words.
Beavis and Butthead is better written with better characters, not joking in the slightest.

I just want to comment because it increases the chances that Az will keep watching.
I don't know, he's self aware. It's like appreciating a openly masochist Sub.
I've noticed that all the recent fantasy shows have elves who look and act like ordinary humans, just with pointy ears on. There's nothing special or other worldly about them. They don't seem ancient, wise or magical.
It's just the same as with the Vulkans or the Romulans. It's all on a Level of a bad FanFilm
Because these shows are made by people that are too stupid to understand the nuances.
And a lot of them being black is the most hilariously r tarded thing ever, it just doesn’t make any sense for black people to exist in that part of the world in a medieval period but the worst thing they could do is make them catastrophically BORING 🥱 what a f***ing joke

The scene where Galadriel says "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!" was pure cinema.

Even her mistakes are being framed as not really mistakes, and her "weakness" is framed as having romantic feelings towards Sauron.
It feels odd though. Elrond and Galadriel seemed relatively close in age, yet this Elrond seems so young, while Galadriel is older. Hmmm. Weird crap.

The whole opening with Sauron being "killed" and then his Venom-like form crawling under mountains and over terrain until he consumes that woman and becomes Hell-brand was the show runners trying to copy the opening of Return of the King in which we see Smeagol find the ring and then follow it consuming him. You see him go under the mountains and his form change into Gollum. Another reason, is they're trying to establish that Sauron can change his form.
The thumbnail made me laugh my tears out before even clicking on it. Brilliant AZ, just Brilliant!
If you're not having a heart attack...what the point? lmao
Az, the reason why the shit show cost a billion dollars, and why no one cares and why its so rushed is because it's money laundering. They don't care that it sucks because everyone who is involved with the shitty show is getting rich. Great video as always, man.
I believe it.
Orc's with forks baby!
Sporks.
I skip all "Hobbit" scenes without question, I don't give a flying fuck.
I watched them hoping the show (I actually don't give a crap about) would at least present some semblance of a character worth rooting for among the hartfoots, 'because I wasn't going to find one anywhere else in the show; but it turns out that the harfoots are terrible creatures who deserve each other. It's like passing a trainwreck while drunk. I came, I saw, but I swear hardly remember a thing.
I skipped the whole series, I don’t give a flying either
Are you sure you're not a writer on this show?
Under 38 seconds club!
Oh, I thought it was the 'admire trannies rack club', my bad
I wouldn’t be so proud of that ;)
Wow that's twice then what my Democrat soy-boy husband gives me! Lol
There are exercises to help with that 😂
I usually get at least 3 pumps
I love Az's breakdown frame by frame from episodes whereas other youtubers montage it. The humour he adds while remembering the details of the episode is always a great watch. The only complaint I have is him not doing the same type of videos for post timeless child doctor who (season 12) for flux and the specials (I found the discussions with nerdrotic a bit plain and he should have done deeper reviews on his main channel).
0:33 Yes you can AZ, you survived Batwhaman.
My dumb ass thought this was a joke because I read The Acolyte Season 2
....I dunno how much longer I can take this lolol.
I don't blame you, they are VERY similar in Stupidity that
I loved the Venom cameo, the rest.....well, its tough to say what happened because they forgot to turn on the lights on the set
Your RANGZ reviews are some of the best stuff on TH-cam. Hope you can have as much fun making these videos as I do watching them.
As a multi decade Tolkien devotee I was offended that this show exists (which is the point of the show, I believe) but thanks to you I'll just think of it as an extremely bad parody.
Bored of the Rings is GOOD parody!
Welcome back, AZ!
I hope you had a great vacation!
Did you have a vacation or something? You look so.... refreshed
Probably getting to recoop from his years on FNT, killin' it on his weight loss, the opportunity to make his fans laugh...oh, and the Acolyte season 2 is cancelled. Yup, I reckon anyone would be quite refreshed. 😂
The skinny legend himself! Looking great Az
"I started fantasizing about Hoovering my staircase" took me a minute to realize that wasn't a euphemism and you literally meant vacuuming your stairs 😂
Looking good AZ! 💪🏻 Keep it up brother!
At lest his house is cleaner after episode 1.
Thank you for your service, Sir!
"dropped" like a douce
👏👏👏
You know, lots of money spent on something used to be a sign of quality. Nowadays, it seems like a guarantee that something is absolute garbage.
The Weight loss is mighty impressive man
RoP failed at ep1 s1.
My dude getting skinny and fit! Bet he could kick Guyladrials girlboss ass... With ease!
RoP failed when Amazon hired bunch of Bad Reboot rejects
First thing season 1 does is Kill an Eagle. You know, symbol of hope and wisdom to the point they save the day in both hobbit and LotR?
Yeah. Amazon opens by killing one.
I must say Az, you are taking up SIGNIFICANTLY less screen.
ROP wrecked his appetite 😮
I’m sorry Az but we need more of your review because you’re speaking how we’re all thinking and if it wasn’t so horrible it would be hilarious! Do love your take one the trash that is ROP! Hang in there and thank you for watching this trash when I definitely couldn’t bring myself to! At least you make it entertaining, thank you!
For some reason, my membership for your channel was not renewed automatically by YT, so I had to do it manually. @Az: Seeing you in that video, and now, you look like a different guy. Keep up your diet and exercise, my friend, you look so much healthier, it's unbelievable! Hail to you and Mr. Porkchop!
Oh no, one of the adverts on this video, for me, was an 11minute ad for Star Wars: Outlaws hahahaha
Liking the video to make Az suffer instead of me
Wales gave us Anthony Hopkins and thus things had to balance out cosmically, so they also produced Morfryd Clarke.
First time I have noticed in a long time, but your fitness goals seem to be coming along well man. Keep it up!
can't believe u did a review of 1 episode in 15mins. acolyte has a good 30min plus review from ya lol
I’ve seen the recommendation for the show on the Amazon Prime page for a couple of days, and every time I’m like: „Uh, nah, not today, what’s else on the tube?“
..pure Gold!! ..thank you -
Even as a regular viewer i was shocked how fit you looked in this video man, massive progress
I played you saying “Immediately” at least a dozen times. I want that to be a ringtone. 😆😆
Not a fan but i had to come in and say that thumbnail is really funny. Lol… Good work… You got someone who is not a fan of these channels to come in and engage.
Az reviews are so entertaining. I appreciate the effort and honesty.
OMG that panoramic shot of the "elves" - hahahahahaha. Wait let me catch my breath over here. Hahahahahahaha. I thought Haldir from the Peter Jackson production was a bit swarthy (nope, that blonde wig did not cancel out his dark 5 o'clock shadow), but now we get this. When does the pendulum swing back again?
