In fairness with the Ithilden scene, Celebrimbor does invent it, and works with the dwarves to make the doors to Moria.
Because they showed that those doors to Moria had not been made yet in season one, and we know the ultimate fate of Celebrimbor, many people thought that we would get the construction of those doors in this season. But I do get their point that if Celebrimbor still thought that leaving Middle Earth was eminent, that it is a bit strange for him to be engaged in new projects at this moment.
In any given reaction will Nerdy:
A) Be confused by something and then talk over the explanation 5 seconds later
B) hear a line with a word from a song, burst into song for 2 minutes, miss dialogue and complain about things not making sense
C) hear someone say a line with a word that is only vaguely suggestive (like hard), burst into laughter for 10 minutes, miss dialogue and complain about things not making sense
D) thinks something is not scientifically accurate, be wrong 50% of the time, miss dialogue and complain about things not making sense
E) get bored and talk over dialogue and complain about things not making sense
F) all of the above
@@Animalfriend777 they're talking because the show is boring AF
@@kaizen5023 This is their reaction style for most TV shows and films. The only times they talk less are subtitled shows just to concentrate on reading.
F: All of the above.
I'm actually shocked they are forcing themselves to watch this. They hated season one and are clearly not enjoying season two.
Personally I'm really enjoying the show. I also don't have the knowledge they do. I read the Hobbit as a kid. Saw the Lord of the rings Trilogy. Then read those books and then watched the Hobbit trilogy. So I'm finding everything very fascinating and interesting.
@@Fairburne69 1 word, views.
The deeper you delve into the Silmarillion where much of what is actually written of these events can be found, and the supplemental works that are available, the worse this show becomes. so for your own entertainment, avoid the actual Tolkien Lore to spare your heart.
They have some valid criticism though. And of course they'll be talking, noone watches a reaction with people just silently starring at the screen.
Also also so often you get confused about things because you talk over the dialog that explains it. Thats your own fault.
Low key there's a bit of truth to that even though they're my favorite reaction couple
@immortal5626 this doesn't make the show suck less. It's nonstop exposition through characters talking at each other.
still doesn't change most of the points they make... The sense of "travel" has been a problem of the show from day 1; and also the over use of what can often just be described as script convenience... We don't actually know how out of sync some of the things are, like what they showed with the dwarfs VS what's going on with Sauron and Celebrimbor, but apparently Sauron knows what's happening there without ever being there... Unless you are going to tell me that he infiltrated the dwarf realm before getting into Eregion; which would make his travel time all that much more miraculous... Same with the messengers from Lindon; did he went thru the bridge, destroyed it and then went to the barrows and call upon some wights AND THEN went to Eregion? And the messengers were still not dispatched? I guess the answer is, Sauron was way earlier and set up preventive measures to cut off Lindon from Eregion... Well, that creates problems as well... Because it was made to look, unless we are inclined to think that the Elves are STUPIDLY inept, that the span of time between Galadriel and Elrond arriving at Lindon with the info, and Gil-Galad sending messengers is SHORT, it is done with the greatest speed because, you know, very important news... Those elves must had set out the same day Gil-Galad knew of the rings and Sauron... So, this conflicts with the idea of Sauron's trip being "way early", when Galadriel and Elrond JUST MADE the trip just fine (and they sure didn't take the " + 2 weeks" route)... So what? Are we made to think that Galadriel and Elrond JUST MISSED, barely crossed paths with Sauron and they went to Lindon, Sauron set up all of his traps just before they passed and then arrived to Eregion... It's a sketchy timeline and more importantly, nothing really is explained well or at all... And still it relies heavily on apparent convenience (as well as the idea of Sauron being omnipresent or being aware of events that he seems to be pretty certain about but we have no clue how he knows these things)
Also, I guess we abandoned long ago the idea of the secrecy behind the Elven rings... Even if the debate of whether or not Sauron "touched" the elven rings in the show is conceded, and we all say "Ok, he didn't influence them"; there was still the idea that Sauron didn't know exactly how many Elven rings were made, who had them and anything about their whereabouts... But in the show Sauron seems to know WAY too much about the elven rings; and this further brings into question the rings "detachment" from Sauron and the reasoning for some of the later events
@@Alewaxon baller comment, good stuff.
@@Alewaxon Actually there is plenty here, First time line. Just like most books, we see things when the author wants us to. Hell in Lord of the Rings we have events that are occurring that are shown in the previous book, As the chapters between characters are shown not to be running side by side. ITs an exceptionally common storytelling method in written works. And heavily used in shows like Game of Thrones and House of Dragon and Wheel of Time all shows that they watch so they should be very aware of it.
Now we have characters like Galadriel state this is the work of Sauron. Now does she literally know this, or is it her just making assumptions. Some things she is getting information from her ring and we see it visually referenced, but not all. So are those times just assumptions? Something unexpected and bad happens so blame the chief bad guy?
The Knowledge of Sauron. Is it Sauron knowing something as fact, or is it Sauron making educated guesses based on what information he does have? Comments about Galadriel, Gil-Galad, Elrond, and the rings and them being in Lindon. Does he know that or are they based on assumptions that he knew Gil-Galad had left for Lindon when they were starting the crafting process. And that Elrond and Galadriel were there in the crafting, and with them and the finished products no longer in Eregion, one could very easily make the logical leap that they are all now in Lindon. That the rings work, does he know that, or is he making the assumption as a means to use Celebrimbor desire to successfully craft something equal to the work of Feanor to get his hooks into him?
On his knowledge of what is occurring in Moria? How would he know? Is it having spies in Moria? Is it foresight? Or could it be more mundane. We know the Dwarves helped build the facility needed to make the rings. That means Dwarves would be coming and going to Eregion (we don't ever see them there, but we are told about it). Eregion and Moria aren't terrible far from each other. So has there been dwarves coming and going during this time? If so, would Celebrimbor who is consumed with his work pay any head to the Dwarves? Would someone who is at the gates of Eregion for what appears to be days, have had the opportunity to hear information that Celebrimbor wouldn't? Again the show never showed us Dwarves in Eregoion but it does state they were there and in sizable number. So us not seeing it doesn't mean thats not possible.
Then the traveling of Elrond and Galadriel both to and from Lindon. We know Elrond take the rings. We know Galadriel is chasing him. Thats it.
We don't know when this occurred or the route taken. Did they travel together, and just on the last day, Elrond takes the rings and makes a mad dash with the rings and leaves without Galadriel forcing her to chase after him?
Did Elrond take the rings in secret from Eregion from the get go? Did he separate from Galadriel in an early part of the joinery? And that Galadriel has been tracking him and chasing him once she learned he had taken them?
Did Elrond take a direct fast path to Lindon, or to he take a more circumspect route to try and make following him more difficult?
Did he go by horse the entire route? We don't know any of these things.
Now in heading back we are told the fastest route is the one where they would cross that bridge. We don't know if that was the route they went to Lindon from.
Now for example if both traveled together and only near the end does Elrond take off with the rings. Then it's likely that is the route they would have taken as the purpose of the rings is to save the elves, and time is important for that.
But if Elrond had taken the rings from Eregion, or if he separated from Galadriel early in their journey and already decided they must not be used, then he is not under a time sensitive deadline, as he doesn't want the rings to be used. And could take a less obvious route hoping that any one who pursued him would assume he took the most direct route.
If that is the case the Bridge could simply have been destroyed by the same means that Moria was damaged. Especially if that canyon is part of the same fault line that runs through Mt Doom.
There are many ways things could occur. Making assumptions that one must equal the other is not rational. Nor is it based on facts as presented.
The ring Elrond wears in LotR is Gil-galad's ring.
Círdan gives his to Galdalf, when he arrives in Middle Earth.
I love like Sauron in this episode is like a vampire, who wait to be invited in the home for having the possibility to enter !
So creepy
@@antothephoenix509 or like Hannibal
Okay, two things that are slightly annoying:
First before episode 1 you said you will measure the season by ignoring lore that hasn't been told by season 1 or the movies and literally 2 minutes after you start episode 1 you are like "that didn't happen in the lore" and that repeats all the time.half of the the things you say is related to what you know about the deeper lore.
Second "they explain too many details", and the next thing you say is "those background npc didnt got a name" and this or that didnt got explained.
I generally agree that the entire elf storyline is flawed and the flow overall is too slow.
About sauron being extremely powerful, isnt sauron basically an evil angel?
And isnt he putting most of his power in to the one ring?
So until that one ring is forged, shouldn't he be way more powerful than in the movies?
It's almost like the showrunners, who said they'd be true to the lore but a couple of minutes in and one can see that's not the case...
Regarding Sauron: I think the issue is that Sauron is supposed to be very evil but he also got killed by a bunch of Orcs because he failed at his speech.
Either make Sauron a very powerful evil being or have him be stabbed by Orcs and then hang out on a raft. But both just doesn't match well.
@@Lothiril hm maybe saurons power isnt physical. He used his weapon like a human would, he doesn't seem strong, he doesn't cast spells during the entire season 1 and now season 2 he didn't harm anyone physically.
But you are right that orc scene at the start shouldn't have happened, his superpower is that he can read minds and manipulate them. He shouldn't have been surprised like that and shouldn't have failed the charisma check against the orcs
@@Lothiril The show runners have also stated that they are making changes, compressing time and events, changing characters, and making up things (all things that can't be true if strictly following lore. So clearly they didn't mean that every aspect is verbatim based on the books). Both statements can't be true. What can be true is that they are taking pieces of lore and using them in their story. So that they are using Lore to tell their story how they see it. Like for example Sauron' affinity to were wolves is likely why he was so easily able to control the Warg. Again using lore based info to tell their story. Hell you could have an adaption from Lord of the Rings of Gandalf and Gwaihir having a relationship and claim its based off of lore. How so. Well, Tolkien;s lore does show interspecies mating. Be it a Maiar mating with an Elf. Be it an Elf mating with a man. We also know that in Tolkien's world some creatures are sentient beings. Like Eagles, for example. And we have Gwaihir grasping a naked Gandalf. Thus you could base a story based on lore that adapted that into a physical relationship and actually have some basis in lore. I wouldn't;t want to see it, but it's something that could be done, and one could reasonably say its based on the lore of Tolkiens world.
Sauron / Halbrand has been shown to have superior strength. Both as just Halbrand and certain as Sauron. As Sauron he takes dozens of mortal blows. He after already receiving what would be a mortal blow manages to physical throw orcs across the room and into walls. That isn't something a mortal man could do. As Halbrand we get two early references that he might have abilities above what a mortal man in his shape could do. We see a shipwrecked Halbrand, who manages with out food and a very small supply of water, managed to travel down into the depths to get to Galadriel, manage to free her, and manage to bring her back to the surface during a major storm. An experienced diver and swimmer who is in good shape would manage that. Halbrand's endurance should be low, as a mortal man shipwrecked without food, and again little water. Then you have his defending himself against four men, and how brutal his take down of them is. It hints of either really solid training and knowledge of humans weak points. Or him having a strength level superior to a mortal man of his frame. Then in his Halbranf form in Mordor, he takes beatings without flenching. He holds with his hand a bone, where a Warg with its jaw has the other end. The Warg's Jaw like most animals should provide far more force then what a human hand could grasp. The Warg should easily be able to take it away. And this is before he starts to speak and control it. Again all subtile things indicating strength and endurance that are above a mortal man of his frame.
Well Celebrimbor and Narvi are the ones who built the doors of Moria and they’re both characters present in the show.
yeah but... whats the point... they havent talked about the doors AT ALL yet. and its extremely weak foreshadowing.
Also you dont always have to understand something immediately. Sometimes your meant to not know something until it gets revealed episodes later.
Just watch.
It definitely feels like they are trying too hard to piece things together with not enough information.
I think their knowledge and admiration of the source material is preventing them from liking a show that is actually really good. I know they are trying but it's not working.
@@Fairburne69 100% agreed
The dwarf mountain is crumbling because of what I’m assuming is the corruption from the volcano/mordor/whatever, the map transition where we saw the dark web spreading hints at that. That what I’m interpreting
yeah i thought it was literally the mountains reacting to the evil
You'll see why Sauron arrived first in Eregion. It will be explained in episode 4.
No its not? Its explained why the messengers aren't arriving, but it doesn't explain why Sauron arrives before Galadriel / Elrond. And without spoiling anything... the reason why the messengers aren't arriving is... anachronistic at best and outright stupid at worst.
@@AStaake1992 He didn't arrive before Elrond and Galadriel.
@@ultronemperor3525 I... huh? You said yourself that he arrived before them and now you're going back on yourself? Ofc he did.
@@AStaake1992 in Eregion, yes. Not in Lindon.
And it's obvious why Sauron arrived in Eregion first.
@@AStaake1992 The trees are killing everyone.
I'd say that having criticism to make about this show makes these reviews more interesting 👍
It's flawed for sure, notably in terms of pacing, but it's still good enough for me to keep watching it for now.
7:48 the show makes so many leaps to fit its story, they are like acrobats... it's bad.
8:56 nope, in the last season... you'll see in a moment.
10:04 YES they are acorns!
15:59 No, Gandalf has that one, Elrond has the one Gil-Galad has.
20:59 There is the magic of the Palanthirs, it doesn't need to be through the rings...
21:01 Exactly, plot hole.
34:33 "Back" is the wrong word, it's even worse, they say this is a whole new forge, (Implied with the words "I hope we get to use it") So they've actually built that entire room new!
She's the commander of the northern armies. She's used to being in control and doing what she wants. How is it surprising that she would continue to try and do what she wants and be annoyed when someone else is put in charge of her? Especially when she still holds the position of commander of the northern armies??? Of course she would be annoyed.
The elves have no knowledge of Sauron's "death" at the beginning of the season. So they have no reason to assume killing him would not work. The only info they would have regarding that is when Adar said he killed Sauron last season, but they have no reason to believe that is the truth.
I think the confusion is caused by not knowing how far certain locations are from one another. I believe the forge of Celebrimbor is much farther from Lindon than from Mordor.
Not really no, but they are definitely wrong about the distance between Lindon and Eregion. Depending on where in Lindon they're supposed to be its roughly the same distance as to Mordor BUT with the important difference that theres no huge mountain range inbetween. (Although you could simply take the gap of Rohan and not have that problem). Even then, the distance between Lindon and Eregion is not as short as they think.
Why would Celebrimbor be packing? Either the Rings worked, so he has no reason to pack, or they didn't work and he still has no reason to pack until he's directly told. Like, the only urgency there was was to "save" the Elves. If they weren't saved they'd have to leave Middle-Earth but that itself is not urgent. And I don't think Sauron is meant to be seen as omniscient, anything that Celelbrimbor cannot immediately verify Sauron can just make up, just because it happens to be true doesn't mean Sauron knows that. Also showing how ithildîn gets made (and all other "prequel-y" things) is simply cool, I don't think there needs to be anything more to it.
Exactly, they're missing all the good key details being so Self-Righteous with their "We know story-telling" talk over the dialog and events that have to happen for the story to be accurate at all. They just are to stuck on their versions in their heads.
Ok😂
Why weren't the Eregion elves at Lindon in ep 1? Gil Gilad already planned to leave Middle Earth and even sang a good bye song. The last leaf on the plot tree just fell, indicating their time was up. Gil Gilad never planned for the rings to work, so why didn't he gather ALL the Nordor elves and leave Middle Earth? Celebrimbor and the Eregion elves staying staying at Ost-in-Ithil makes no sense. It's only for plot contrivance.
@@MayhapsYes he sent word... word didn't get to them. Plus, nothing said it had to be an immediate rush either.... I'm not sure where the disconnect is coming from. They thought the rings were lost then the old elve came and said he didn't destroy them and THEN they said "Great, let's wear them"
@@MayhapsYes He hadn't realized sauron was back either and having learned that decided the elves needed to try anything that might work, luckily the rings did.
@@MayhapsYes Eregion is far from Lindon, but on the way to where the elves would meet to set sail from MiddleEarth, so maybe they're assuming someone will stop along the way and pick them up?
Mordor is just a few days ride from Eregion. Lindon is a few weeks from Eregion, so Sauron could have easily gone to Adar and come back within the time it took them to get to Lindon and have the whole rings debacle. In many ways, time pressure is realistic as they take into account the slowness of travel and news. The round trip between Eregion and Lindon would have taken months. Gil Galad gave them 3 months in the previous season and Galadriel and Elrond rode with the rings to let him know they found a solution (well, Elrond obviously not). Celebrimbor was not with them because Gil Galad would have still needed to test the rings and make a decision that would later be communicated to all elves. The elves leaving Middle Earth was always going to take years. The dwarves are also just a few days trip from Eregion, so Sauron can easily influence the dwarves and orcs in the area of Eregion before anyone from Lindon actually makes it back.
Elven Council has spies that have seen Sauron entering his territory, even though nobody knows what he looks like LoL
Didn’t that happen after Galadriel told Gilgalad that Halbrand was actually Sauron?
This story isnt about a singular journey. Idk why its so unbelievable to you that Elves can use magic on horses to go faster and Sauron cant... Considering we just saw him control a warg in the previous episode..
Less than 2 minutes in you complain that the prequel show is... a prequel? And you see a map where darkness spreads from Mordor to Khazad-Dum, and you wonder what the point is? I mean, the imagery was pretty clear. Darkness is spreading from Mordor. And it's reached Khazad-Dum.
The first 3 episodes are better than the entire second season of House of The Dragon.
I for one really appreciate you not just sugarcoating everything and giving your thoughts and criticisms
Season 2 episode 2 of the Rings of Power is an amazing episode
You’re wrong about what ring Elrond gets. He gets the blue one that the high king Gil galad is wearing as Elrond is his second till his death. The red one Cirdan is wearing he personally gives to Gandalf which is pretty much the start of Sauramans bitterness and jealousy. You can see Gandalf wearing it in his last scene at that harbor before he sails away
I'm sure this has been pointed out, but just in case:
Gandalf ends up with Cirdan's ring.
Elrond ends up with Gil-Galad's.
I enjoy watching their reactions for the most part but dear lord it feels like Clarus is actively looking for things to dislike and, in many cases, simply misinterprets things and invents problems that were never there. They’re free to not like the show, but I feel like I’m going crazy watching them get tripped up by the most simple lines of dialogue or events in the plot.
It's also getting to me that they're referring to Peter Jackson's trilogy as 'lore' when it famously bastardized the lore to death. Eye of Sauron in the books guys? ... Guys?
Dude, exactly! It drives me crazy. No hate to the movies, they’re my favorite films, but the show is clearly drawing from the books.
Yeah I agree , I like them but it’s getting bad
If it makes you crazy, why do you keep watching their reactions though...?
@@Lothiril You must have missed the first words of my post where I said “I enjoy watching their reactions for the most part”. And normally I wouldn’t care enough to post, but this happens to be a series (books, movies, and otherwise) that are important to me, and I just find it annoying when people fail to pay attention to what’s happening, act like they know better when they clearly don’t, and think that they’re smarter than the show they chose to watch.
The show still has problems, but that Annatar + Celebrimbor was 🔥👍
_Gil-galad was like:_ "There are two big rivers and a giant wall protecting that city." _Also Gil-galad:_ "I saw two rivers going dry." 🤔😁
The map showed the darkness spreading after the eruption and when it got to the dwarves, it caused the earthquake that collapsed the caves. It's VERY obvious, really.
Yea, i want this show to be good, but it's just mid. It's full of over indulgent metaphors, member berries, and NO consequences.
Gil Gilad, my man, you are High king of the Noldor elves, how does nobody listen to you? How does Elrond not get punished for stealing the rings while potentially killing all the elves to some disease? How does Galadriel suffer no consequences for lying about Sauron? 😂
Can someone explain why we never see Durin (?) and Dessa’s kids? Why are they always playing in another room or visiting someone??
About the attack on the elf messenger, I took that to be like when the orcs attacked Isuldur in the Fellowship of the Rings, that Suaron being around and flexing his power is influencing all of the evil/dark creatures to stir and f*ck shit up.
This stuff should’ve happened in the 1st season.
With the mixed up, time compression of the Second Age, Gil-galad is either shy of 150 or just over 3,500. , a few centuries over Elrond. Galadriel is at least as old, if not older than Celebrimbor, at between 1,500 and 5,000, maybe older. Just over 1,600 and maybe 3,000 respectively. Depending on conversion between the Years of the Trees and the solar year.
The bell on the water well was an alarm, letting everyone know for miles around that someone was stealing water.
I can see the Pitch Meeting for when the Not-Hobbits flew off.
Producer Guy:
"boy its going to be hard for them to survive that."
Screenwriter Guy:
"Actual it's going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience."
PG:
"Oh Really?"
SWG:
"You see, because they didn't come down on screen. So they are fine."
PG:
"Well OK then."
Regardless of how the other Rings are made and how Celebrimbor’s storyline goes and how the lesser Rings are distributed in the books, my head-canon for that is the flashback scenes from the ‘Shadow of Mordor’ and ‘Shadow of War’ games.
Lindon and Eregion aren't close so no, Celebrimbor wouldn't know. He also argued against Gil-Galad in abandoning Eregion. So we have knowledge already that he was in no hurry to depart. He is also shown to be obsessive about his crafting. He isn't just going to pack up everything and make his way to Lindon without first discovering if the rings worked (now if the rings were never crafted he probably would have). That would take weeks. even at fastest travel time. He would very much wait for news to get back to him. And since he is obsessive about crafting, he wouldn't just set their doing nothing. He would keep crafting trying again to create something anything new.
So yeah you are pretty much off base about Celebrimbor's reason for still be there, still working, and not leaving.
The timelines arent even confusing. Pretty straight forward. You people would die during Dark.
I think I'd disagree with you. the time Sauron spent captive of Adar and the time of the events in Lindon does not match up.
Dark is a masterpiece. Im just thinking about the gulf in quality compared to this awful tv show lmao 😂
In general, I am enjoying this season. Probably my biggest issue with it is the conflict between the elves does feel a bit contrived and it’s not explained enough for me to understand their behavior towards each other. I had the same issue with it last season, and the same feeling with the Numenor storyline. I agree with their comments here that it is hard to understand the relationship between Gilgalad and Galadriel. I would expand that to include many of the relationships between the elves and the relationships between the Numenorians, since I have already seen Numenor centric episode three. I highly recommend the Rings and Realms podcast on TH-cam. They are doing a fantastic job, just like they did for season one, of taking a deeper look into some specific aspects of the show and seeing how they relate to themes explored by Tolkien.
Adar sent orcs after Sauron to keep tabs on him. They would be the only ones to intercept the elves carrying the message.
give that statement a revisit after episode 4.
I'd like to leave a positive comment, I deeply enjoy your reactions. But wow I really hope you don't read the comments because looking at some of the others... yikes. I totally get if you don't continue this show on your channel.
Sending you good vibes. Keep on nerding.
Loving how grumpy Clarouse is that Nerdy isn't agreeing with her interpretations 😂
Everything makes sense, you just choose not to see it 😢
Omg, please say you are just joking and not that slow to understand simple things. 😬
Clarus actually is doing really well at reading the show.... as for Sauron i think that the timeline is a bit syncopated
I think the southlands/mordor stuff happened a few weeks before the galadriel/gil-galad stuff. I don't think the show pretended he can travel that fast, but maybe the time-and-place aspect scenes got cut for time
Edit: but Clarus DOES hit the real dilemma before Neery. The returning of the forge and anvil..... it would seem like he knows he doesnt have to leave yet
Also I think that the mountain singing is kind of silly! But fwiw I think it's more like they're strumming the tense connection between the Dwarves and the mountain. I don't think it's supposed to be a sonic/resonance break-the-champagne-flute phenomenon! They tried to force the connection, and the mountain rejected them
28:28 I thought Clarus was going to say "he needs his magic stick" in a 50 Cent voice right here
@@LMironono How would the mordor stuff happen weeks before though? That would imply that either Elrond and Galadriel were just sitting on their asses before riding to Lindon OR they were just sitting on their asses for a couple weeks before doing the good bye ceremony. Neither of those circumstances make much sense to me.
@AStaake1992 waiting to do the goodbye ceremony seems quite likely to me.
Also, what's with Rats and shaping the course of entire universes... The Rat from Endgame, the Rat in Rings of Power. Like, if that Rat hadn't come along, Middle Earth would have been fine.
About showing it take time for Elves to change their minds. That is something actually very true to the nature of Elves. TNot to present that makes there Elves seem no different besides physical traits then mortals. When they also due to their immortality also see the world and are impacted by it in different ways. There is a lot of discussion about whom are older the Ents are the Elves and evidence for both points of view. And we see how these near immortals are so slow to change and take action. Now certain things get the Ents to move like the wind, just as a view events make the eleven due so (the destruction of the two trees are a great example).
So I actually love the pacing of this. And let's be exceedingly clear. When Tolkien presented full narrative stories in this setting, he didn't rush anything. The pacing of this show for its faults is far closet to Tolkien pacing then Jacksons adaption of Lord of the Rings.
I think the show is fine. It makes sense to me. I’m following along just fine. Admittedly, I don’t know the lore so I’m not adding or questioning plots as I watch. I’m just taking it as it is. Watching you two take things to a whole other level stresses me out. It makes me feel like I missed or I misinterpreted something.
Sauron hanging out in the courtyard waiting for an invite in like a vampire. Is he just crapping in the corner?
I'm sorry, but these videos are tough to get through. So much of your confusion could be solved if you actually seemed to pay attention to what you're watching.
Deesa is the dwarven Beyonce. Deesa and the Deesettes.
So, there is something that has really bothered me in the first two episodes: Why is Elrond the one freaking out about the rings and not Galadriel? Isn't she the one who spent hundreds of years and last season hunting Sauron and hating him even when everyone was already over it? She basically mobilized a nation to find the fucker and SHE was tricked by him. Why is she like "nahh bro we chill now" ????
Because she believes in the rings, does have one on her finger, and feels no corruption. Elrond has not given himself time to even really look at the ring, Círdan took one gander and changed his mind about them, I think that's the clue you need to not be bothered.
Vickers is holding the show up. It's like they wanted to do Sauron back story but aren't sure what to do with the rest of it
It’s hard to figure what unique thing this show’s story is going to bring other than the long term resolution we know about from the books/movies. It is mysterious without being as compelling as I want it to be. I am going to keep watching for sure but still.
The Durins Bane situation is confusing me. I can take him waking up an age early. But they have him waking up around the same time mt doom erupts which was months before now. Why hasnt he started genociding yet?
No reception down there so he can't get coffee delivered :/
Couldn't do it to the orcs because In order to create the wrapped reality they he had to have gained there trust and friendship. According to the elf King. :-)
Sorry but guys you are so annoying in this.
House of the dragon season 1 did not have an intro until the second episode. Season 2 it had an intro from the first episode
i assumed it was messenger eagles or hawk lol but then why didnt they just say he was Sauron in the first message saying a second message from a messenger was coming lol idk i still like the show
I think it was a new erruption....
When I compare a Season of Game of Throne's Budget, and a Season of Rings of Power's Budget. and seeing what we get, me "Trying" to like it but unable to really connect with it, I get angry, WHERE... DID....THE MONEY... GO.
The way you dont listen to clarouse when your wrong and shes trying to help you xD you pure shit on her lol
This is not what happens when shes wrong and you help her xD chill
Is this a reaction or a roast?
DIDN'T try to make sense.
It's better that's way
nss é mt difícil assistir um react feito por alguém q n tá entendendo nada do q tá assistindo kkkk
It would be annoying if it wasn't so sad :/
If you too stop talking and watch, maybe you understand
I very much enjoy y’all’s channel as a general rule, but watching y’all react to this show is simply unbearable. The show is great. Perfect? lol no, obviously. But it’s great, and the vast majority of your nitpicks result either from you talking over the explanation (which, sure, it’s a reaction video, you’re trying to provide content, we get it, but it’s not the show’s fault you’re talking over it) or you simply lacking the patience to appreciate characterization and such. Just stick to HotD and other TikTok attention span trash like that for the channel, maybe? Maybe a show like this isn’t good for the channel, if you can’t just watch and take it in.
copiar el Jesus no es bueno...
the man from nowhere 한번 보셔!
A sewer indeed
Moreeee 🔥
Glad I’m not the only one hate watching this show
This show is so hand wavy when it comes to time lines. It really takes you out of the story…
It's my biggest problem honestly. It makes it all feel less immersive and loose.
My biggest worry about the timeline is that they are going to make Khazad-dûm fall to the balrog about 2,000 years early for no reason.
I think that the balrog is only going to be something sauron scares Durin (father) with. I don't think it's actually going to come out. At least I hope not.
Time lines, distances, motivations, and units of measurement
This show is not good at being subtle 😂 it’s very heavy handed with wanting certain characters to be certain characters but they can’t be those characters because they aren’t born yet and it really injects modern issues into this fantasy show that supposed to be separate from those issues
i think the script for this entire show is a social experiment to see how people react to AI written shows. everything is a recycled tolkien line, or something that tries to imitate the tone of tolkien.
This is a bad take.
This series is not a dumpster fire, because a dumpster fire would be more entertaining. This is boring AF.
