As Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power releases episode 6 we FINALLY have something happen and several storylines reach a reveal point....and oh boy it was probably better that they didn't. Here are the summaries (although I can probably fit the entire series into a 30 minute description) of my top 3 worst storylines for Rings of power, spoiler, they don't make ANY SENSE. But what were your worst stories or characters from Rings of Power, let me know your thoughts below and as always, thanks for watching :)
For an epic tale, it strikes me just how small it all is. The south lands is 100 villagers. The orc army conquering and claiming it's new home is 200 orcs. Numenor is 300 soldiers. Epic? These groups are so small they could have wandered around for weeks and not found each other.
Well, apparently to the writers, the entirety of Middle Earth is about 200 square miles or so. That's why they seem to think that sailing from Middle Earth to Valinor should only take an afternoon, walking from Eregion to Khazad-Dum should only take an hour or two, and that someone could realistically swim from Valinor back to Middle Earth. They have absolutely no concept of how large Middle Earth is. They just hand-waive the massive time frames it would take to do all the stuff they're doing, and so you have Galadriel's trip to Valinor, Numenor getting ready to send out its (tiny) army, sailing to Middle Earth, getting debarked and everyone geared up, then riding across the southlands to find the village taking about 4-5 days, rather than the 3+ months it should.
@@Dave_L913 Writer's logic: there's only 1 town in the Southlands. That's how Galadriel know where the orcs would be. Audience: But in episode 2 there was another village that was attacked by the orc. Surely there's other towns? Writer's logic: Exactly, there WAS another town, but no more.
Darkwing Duck, haven’t seen you in a while, old friend! Glad to see that you are using your analytical skills for a good purpose. You are right about the scale of the show. Another example is that swimming through the entire ocean is a pleasant afternoon dog paddle or possibly a nice relaxing sidestroke. 😂 Hey, what if the “worm” sea monster was Sauron in worm shape? Did we see Halbrand and the worm in the same frame? If not, he could’ve killed off the other people on the raft so he could have special alone time with Big G.
I love the scene where Galadriel sees the cloud shooting at her and she holds out her hand and quietly says, "No." And then the cloud completely freezes in place. Then we see her pick a small rock from the cloud and look at it curiously, and then drop it and the entire cloud falls to the ground as ash.
Let’s not forget the apothecary that declares herself king before later happily welcoming an unknown man as the true king…of a couple dozen peasants? So inspirational.
I've wondered if Galadriel isn't Sauron in disguise... She is making sure the events of the Lord of the Rings can't happen because she just killed off the future kings of Middle Earth.
I'm disappointed they didn't include a contest between Numenorians and villagers to capture Harfoots and see who could punt them the furthest into the lava
If the writers put the same effort into the story as the shills do in 'explaining' the impossibilities in this show, it would have been the most amazing series ever.
The writers seem to think that a pyroclastic flow is just a dust cloud. Perhaps when at college, they didn't read volcano books because of trigger warnings. If she survives the glowing boulders the size of a barn. 800-degree heat, toxic gases, dust that's basically powdered glass and a pressure wave travelling at 150 mph, she still has to reach the new surface level which will be 30 metres above her head.
Galadriel was supposed to be a sage and a political opponent of Annatar's reformist ideas. She was a philosopher-queen in the end of the Second Age. In the series she is a Karen.
In Episode 1 she demands to speak to the elves' manager. In Episode 2 she demands to speak to the raft's manager. In Episode 3 she demands to speak to Numenor's manager. In Episode 4 she demands to speak to that manager's manager. In Episode 5 she demands to speak to Sauron's manager. In Episode 6 she demands to speak to Adar's manager. I'm on the edge of my seat wondering whose manager she'll demand to speak to next!
Well with how this episode ended, everyone can just stop watching here and head canon it to the Karen dieing and the real Galadriel waking up, realizing she had been trapped in a nightmare (brought on by dark magic) about being an insufferable bitch.
Moral inversion in a modern tv show? The villain is reasonable and justified, and the hero a merciless fanatic. Why, surely not. Who could have foreseen such a thing. My surprise is...nonexistent.
@@pocophonef1379 I did too, hoping we would get a solid story about how an Elf ( the only one looking like an Elf) could become so traumatised that he became a force of evil. It is lore that Elves who escaped from Morgoths prisons were not trusted by the other Elves, perfect material I would say. but no, they killed him off by taken a short cut as being Ur-Papa-Orc. Tolkien painted himself a bit in a corner with the origin of Orc's, he was never really content with about the four versions he toyed with. But it now seems the showrunners just walked over the still wet painted floor and painted themselves in another corner. The corrupted elf version is in the Tolkien lore they have no access to.
Imagine Sauron explaining his plan: I made this dark object with evil magic powers that when fed the blood of a willing slave will open up a...DAM FLOODGATE!! *confused orc noises* But that will only work if you dig a bunch of irrigation tunnels first. *more confused orc noises*
Lol. That is hilarious. They looked for the master sword key the whole time they could have just destroyed the damn dam. The writing is meant for people that don't question a damn thing......a true master plan.
I don't understand why they are so afraid of using a supernatural explanation: the sword is obviously magical, but the way it works seemingly uses science, as if you could build such a contraption in real life. Considering that we have a canon precedent in Caradras, they could have made so that Mt Doom hosts a sentient evil spirit as well, and using the sword as intended can rile this spirit and cause him to erupt the volcano. But no, they had to introduce and foreshadow everything as "utter black magic" when it's just engineering, which makes little sense, as if Arondir, who just used the whole tower-crumbling contraption, can't tell them apart from 'sorcery'.
@@dariovirga7711 well said, and this extends to the entire show : the forging of the rings eventually doesn’t involve any magic, it’s just about combining materials… how is this supposed to generate all powerful objects ?
The explanation for Galadriel walking into the pyroclastic cloud makes it even worse. I didn't think it was possible to make this terrible writing worse but they somehow found a way. And no, you can't survive that. A pyroclastic cloud is probably one of the most deadly natural phenomenon that can occur on this planet.
It is perfectly possible for them to survive: At the last moment GaLADriel says she wants to speak with the cloud's manager, the cloud decides it does not want to deal with her, so it goes around her
I like to imagine Sauron getting halfway through setting up his big plan before thinking "This is so stupid, it'll never work" before abandoning it to go chill out in the North, only for Adar to eventually find his discarded blueprints decades later and think "This is genuis, a true visionary masterpiece!" and then proceed to finish the project while Sauron is in retirement...
Now I imagine Sauron making a surprised Pikachu face when Adar actually pulls it off. "Holy frigg...That shouldn't have worked. Ever! Maybe I AM genius!" And thus the hubris was born that leads to hs ultimate defeat. x'D
Nah, not as good as Guyladriel literally saying 'come at me' to the trainees. She's speaking all Tolkienesque and then the best the writer's can give her is 'come at me'. All they're missing is, 'come at be, bro'.
Lol. This is hilarious. So true. They had just finished killing their own family and friends and they were like, "fuck it, we got a king, DUDE. LET'S DRINK"
When they were all starving just the day before. Hm... let's do the math on that. No food + dead friends = banquet. Uh oh... looks like meat is back on the menu, boys!
I like how you refer to Galadriel as the "evil, manipulative, 'person'" right at the end of the video. I was expecting a different word but appreciate your restraint.
Here's the thing about coincidences. If you use them to make the struggles of our protagonists harder, it feels more satisfying to see them succeed since all odds were stacked against them. But using them to aid a protagonist feels lazy and only makes the victories feel unearned and based on luck.
- Galadriel's motivation in Tolkien: Thousands of years of wisdom, knowledge about the fate of the Noldor and responsability towards Arda and the Valar. - Galadriel's motivation in the show: "YASSSS! Karen slay!!!!" - You can do this with just about all the characters that weren't invented just for the show...
@@reek4062 No thats you. While youre on your superior tip, just consider the fact that you using incel in an attempt to invalidate anyones statements only proves you to be the fool. Noone else. I cant help but notice your posts on this channel dont consist of any arguments, but rather insults and buzzwords meant to dissuade any differences in opinion to your own. That might work on you and your nitwitted friends. Dont assume it will be as effective against actual adults.
Disparu didn't mention how the elf warrior brought down a thousand-year-old tower with one arrow, or the fact that the villagers thought their thatched-roof village was a safer place to defend *with fire* than a stone fort. The mind boggles.
Disparu is always right! Everything that happens after episode six is just the delusions of the characters while they suffer in hell - because no one in Pompeii survived Mount Vesuvius.
Key difference: No one in Pompeii was a superstar girl boss commander of armies because they were ruled by toxic masculinity and the volcanic eruption was the ultimate feminist revenge, which unfortunately backfired (ha!) on the ladies as well.
Actually Pompeii had population of 20k and only 2k died in Pompeii , some fled to sea and on boats and rescued by navy some had fled to other towns further up and some had fled a weeks earlier as huge earthquakes and funny skyfall put the wind up them luckily.Those in the city who hadn't fled at the height of the eruption of course had no chance.
I've now spent a total of 14 hours watching reviews of episode 6 this weekend. I have Amazon prime, but zero interest in watching it. Disparu - Great to catch you on EFAP twice this weekend. That must be an ego-boost. You're on your way to 100K!
whoever wrote this horrible travesty of a series should be fired and never allowed to write another series unless its for toddlers even then its debatable...
One of the many things that annoys me is the complete abandonment of the fact that Morgoth’s army was mostly monsters not just orcs werewolves, vampires, dragons, giants and spiders which reminds me why did they not include Ungoliant shes the reason Morgoth destroyed the trees it’s like if House Of The Dragon not include Vagahar
One wonders if that's down to the specific source material to which Amazon bought the rights I love LOTR but I'm not about to read a 1000+page novel plus Appendices in the next five minutes just to see to what degree Morgoth's army is mentioned
@@LordHerek yup, werewolves and vampires. Not exactly as you're probably envisioning, but they exist in Tolkien in Fellowship of the Ring it's heavily implied they were attacked by a pack of werewolves before taking the Moria road. It was cut from the film because admittedly the scene itself is a little vague and hard to explain Sauron, in fact, is the father of all Werewolves and was a shapeshifter himself in his physical form
Episode 6 can only be described as: watching 5.9 hour long documentary on how bread is made in Pompeii, only for the volcano to blow 15 mins before the bread is finished and everyone dies.
I tell my brothers and my children all the time. " If you just put half of the effort you expended, trying to get out the work. Into the job itself, you'll be done in no time and with quality of effort to spare."
They hired an 'intimacy coordinator'. I'm actually vastly surprised that a series meant to be like 'Game of Thrones' has NOT had vastly more nudity and sex scenes. But if there's only going to be one sex scene in the entire series, it's pretty clear it will be between Galadriel and Sauron.
i can't wait to see how they write themselves out of this black hole of mt. doom exploding and destroying everything in its wake. should make all kinds of sense.
It’s called a phreatic eruption (geologist here), so the set off is actually possible. However, the manner in which they caused the eruption is completely implausible.
Oh, for me the plan of defense that is counting on the sole premise that the orcs would ALL walk over the bridge spanning this 3 feet wide "stream" for it to work, then captureing the orc horde between 2 weak lines of fire, one can easily jump through is clearly the highlight. But to be fair, it works very well against the Numneoreans as well... at least half their Cavalry also just uses the bridge to attack in double file, not spread out and take a little jump over the "stream".
The next storyline with the elves: Mithril powers them but (drum roll) kryptonite weakens them! Sauron’s next plan - to obtain all the kryptonite he can get his hands on! It probably came out of that volcanic explosion.
Mark Twain spoke of writing a novel and not much liking his main character. As he came to the story's end, he found this character had disappeared. So he searched for him and found that the "hero" had fallen down a well in chapter six. I thought something similar was going on with the Rings of Power: That next week we would discover Galadriel died and she's actually the third cousin of Tolkien's Galadriel and all the other characters are similarly distant relations -- quite distant, really -- and the names they use were quite common back in the day and none of this has anything to do with Tolkien's work.
never heard of this story by Mark Twain, love it nevertheless. any idea which of his novels it was? by the way your theory has merrit, but it does not explain why the language shifts haven not changed the original name Galadriel into Karendriel yet.
@@kamion53 It was a "tongue in cheek" advice to aspiring writers' article. He also spoke of several other characters he didn't know what to do with and had them fall down the same well.
@@Kiddington-Oh sounds a bit like the answer of Augustus when someone asked what happened to the hero in his poem: "he fell on a sponge, like Aiax on his sword.""
"Empowerment"! I'm glad you showed that clip of Sophia Nomvete. What an incredibly talented actor. Kinda surprised you could make this video; I still don't think anything has actually happened in _The Rangz of Pooper_ .
"Why do we have a complicated magic key?" Because the writers are dumb enough to confuse complexity with intelligence, when actually subtlety and simplicity are the true hallmarks of an intelligent plan. The only way the show can redeem some of its "heroes" is to simply have them all be various manifestations of Sauron to explain their respective examples of calculated evil..
At this point, if I'd watched the show rather than watched your reviews, I would gladly have walked into an erupting volcano for a moment of peace as well.
The weird thing is that I'm certain the real Galadriel possibly could survive a volcanic eruption, since she does actually have powers. And not only that, but given her kind and selfless nature in the books and PJ movies, she would also save as many people as she could; perhaps putting a magic barrier over everyone. I mean, it's a tiny ass village with like three houses, I doubt a magic shield around that would be too hard to pull off. But this show seems to keep forgetting that Galadriel even has magic to begin with. She doesn't even have the power of foresight and perception (her most prominent power) otherwise she could have easily have discovered who Sauron was disguised as. So either they're just gonna pull out the magic stuff in the next episode to "surprise" the audience (which at this point would just feel like a massive ass-pull) OR somehow everyone's going to survive a volcanic eruption. Either way, I think I'm just done with this show, and I really don't see it getting any better.
Oh, I'm sure they'll have her pull something out of her ass to save most of the people there. Or at least all the Named Characters(tm). Even though the show has never showed her ability with magic before. It'll just be another contrivance pulled out to get a character out of the situation the garbage writers have put them in. The writers for this show are absolute trash. They keep wanting to toss characters into 'cool scenes', without realizing you have to build up to things like that, and give reasons both why they're there, and how they survive, without just hand-waiving it away or pulling insane contrives out of their ass. Like her jumping into the sea to swim back to Middle Earth. Yeah, it's only a 1300+ mile swim, she'll be fine. And of course she's not only picked up once but TWICE, in an area of ocean that NOBODY goes to. And the people on the first raft are worried about 'corsairs'. Pirates? Really? Who are the pirates raiding? The only land out there is Valinor (and pirates sure as hell aren't going to be raiding the home of the elves and gods) and Numenor, which isn't a trading empire (and no band of pirates is going to be dumb enough to try and raid one of their towns or cities). It's just another throw-away line to 'sound cool' and nothing more, with zero thought put into it.
@@kurtnulf3362 part of Galadriel's powers in the third age come from her ring. Read who Galadriel is. Read who mentored her in Middle Earth. Read what that mentor's daughter was capable of doing to Morgoth and his entire throne room. Galadriel's powers aren't limited to the ring she gets much later on in her life.

You know how Disparu always mentions that almost nothing happens in most episodes (especially 1-4)? Well, my husband joined me to watch Disparu’s videos starting with the 4th episode review, and he was able to fully understand what happened in the previous episodes with almost zero input from me! How crazy is that?! Hours of material, all of it mostly useless and boring 🤦♀️🤦♀️
The Rings of Power is clearly one of the greatest situational comedies ever made. Just think, when Galadriel and Sauron start Smashing, it'll upgrade to one of the greatest Romantic Comedies of all times. Jeff Bezos, you are a genius!!!
Oscar worthy acting performances. Dialog on par with Hemingway or Steinbeck. Truly engaging multiracial black elf/white human/Indonesian child love story These screenwriters are creative geniuses! A Billion dollars well spent. Bravo Jeff Bezos, bravo!
pardon me, Bronwyn isnt hwite, she has brown eyes, dark hair and light brown skin. Shes middle eastern or mixed race. They would never put a hwite person in charge, that role is reserved for the minority women (Miriel and Bronwyn)
@@JoSan3 yeah but she isnt in charge of anything, shes just a mary sue karen, nobody follows her orders. miriel, bronwyn and disa are in positions of power. the only white person with any authority is gil galad and hes portrayed as a fucking idiot
There is no reason for a ship of Numenor or a raft of Southland survivors to be anywhere near Valinor, so Galadriel had to swim more than half the way to middle earth to reach it.
@@dronesclubhighjinks my theory is she already wore the armor under her dress. That's the reason she could only swim half the way. That would also explain how she got the elvish armor on Numenor 🤣 Or Halbrand made it after the sword and a dozens of daggers in his two day blacksmith workshop.
Gil-galad didn't even send Celebrimbor and Elrond to Khazad-dum/the Dwarfs. Going there was Elrond's idea, suggested when he was alone with Celebrimbor. And yet afterwards we learn that Gil-galad had somehow planned for them to go to Khazad-dum so they could get mithril. Even though going there was Elrond's idea. What the fuck?
Oooh it’ll bring them even closer haha … So romantic 🤢 It would be funny if they both choose “they” - or maybe they can make up cutesy little pet names for each other to nauseate us further. Gawadikins and Halbypoo?
So, boats float because they always look up" Or... the people on top are up there because they're optimistic, and "rocks sink because they always look down"... which could be seen as "You're low on the totem because you're pessimistic, and possibly depressed. Fix yourself."
Stones sink and boats float because the sea is always right! In another comment section, a clever person brought up whether “sea“ also refers to freshwater because, if it does, then the sea was right about the volcano erupting. The logic is so logically logical that it would make Spock swoon amirite?
Galadriel survives because she used her ring that was she given secretly under a secret order by a secret craftsman in a secret place and secretly given to her by a secret messenger that Gil-Gilad secretly sent because he knew that Galadriel would leap to her certain death into the ocean, find her way to Numenor and convince the Numenorians to attack orcs so his elves wouldn't have to, but fail at stopping Sauron starting his Mt Doom where he can secretly craft magic rings.
Well, if you take anything that Tolkien wrote into consideration, which the writers clearly didn't, then she is in possession of Nenya, which can protect people from evil. However, she wouldn't have used it because she swore to keep it secret as long as Sauron has the one ring, which he has already forged in mt doom, which wasn't created by water released by a magic key. He had also finished building barad-dur, started a war with the elves and given rings to the dwarf lords and kings of men who have now become the nazgul. Meanwhile, Celebrimbor is dead and Eregion has been destroyed, Elrond has established the refuge of Rivendell and Galadriel lives in Lothlorien with her husband Celeborn and their almost 3000 year-old daughter, and this is all before Elendil was born, and he should be over 100 in the show. So strange that a show called the rings of power seems to be taking place after the rings of power were made, but hasn't included them in the story at all. 🤔
I literally see this as d&d session in which DM forgot to prepare and just skimmed his notes, players forgot what kind of backstory they wrote and do not roleplay their allignement ( Hey, are you not supposed to be lawful good?) nobody cares about encumbrence rules and one girl had extraordinary luck with her stats and is also avid min-maxer so when she was creating her elven warrior she of course decided that charisma is a dump stat.
I have only a faint glimmering of an idea of what you two are talking about, but you seem way more intelligent and self-aware than the writers are. Please replace them!
It'll get sweaty, and at some point a butt plug will be needed. Halbrand takes the sigil out, and uses it vigorously. He's spent, weirdly regretful, almost immobilized. Guylad then whispers softly: Your turn. In the morning, she looks at the sigil still in her hand, and realizes... What she was missing in her marriage. Cut to Celeborn receiving an oddly shaped package from Celebrimbor, with a cryptic message from his wife. 🙈
Yeah, the 1st thing that came to mind when Guyladriel took a pyroclastic flow/surge directly to the face was Pompeii and how the ppl were found petrified from the pyroclastic flow. Such BS. Every single one of them would be dead as a doornail.
They have gone out of their way to make elves unmagical but somehow magically she survives this?!!! I'm like you. The rest is their dying thoughts. Just like Lost.
5:31 no man come on!!! her story starts when her men commit mutiny, because if that didnt happened she would still be going north! in the exact opposite direction of everything!
Here's my theory. Dynastic wealth corporate elite rulers (Disney, Amazon) cannot distinguish good from evil so the films/TV they create are as muddled as they are. Mulan fought a war to defend her oppressor. Reva allied herself with Vader while imagining she was opposing Vader. Galadriel is a rage-filled sociopath who is apparently starting a romance with (spoiler alert) Sauron. Then there's Rey with Kylo Ren. All of those are superior-by-birth natural superbeings who believe themselves morally upright but flirt with dark forces. Sound like any corporate executives we know?
she was ready to ditch that too 10 seconds later. " F it, i cant wait, i must kill you NOW". this was standard behavior of the villains before the woke age.
Let me start with the point that I LOVE this channel and everything that he's put out since I discovered it a few weeks ago. Not since first discovering the Critical Drinker a few years ago have I enjoyed listening to one of our British cousins(British? English? UK'er? I don't know, I know with the Drinker it's UK) verbally dismantle and eviscerate shit passing itself off as entertainment. That said, in the spirit of at least attempting to be fair, I feel the need to make one small defense of the show against a critique. In pointing out all the ridiculous, and unlikely series of events that allowed her to survive jumping off the ship and getting to her destination you pointed out that "if any one of them DIDN'T happen, it would have totally ended the story." But then, they would have all had to have happened then, wouldn't they? If they didn't we wouldn't actually have a show to laugh it. At most the story would have been "she jumped off the ship, never to be seen again…"
I just can't watch this anymore. I mean, i enjoy watching Disparu's and Nerdrotic's videos about it, but i can't watch this garbage anymore. I wasn't even paying for it, and even sailing for it feels like a chore. Imagine people actually paying to watch this!
Not to mention for Sauron’s “master plan” was Adar lying to gladriel about hating Sauron and trying to kill him out of vengeance, or was he lying to her saying that to throw her off to fulfill Sauron’s plan? Because it looked to me like he wanted to fulfill Sauron’s wishes which undermines his motivations entirely..?
In the show it feels like Adar carried out the Sauron's plan to make a place for the orcs as he feels like they deserve their own land too. However, he feels like both Sauron and Galadrial are evil - One wants to use them, and the other wants to kill them all.
I think Adar does hate Sauron/Halbrand. Because of that confrontation in the woods. "Remember me? Remember what you did?" According to Adar, he tried to kill Sauron/Halbrand. Adar thinks he is dead and Halbrand doesn't look like Sauron so he doesn't realize he failed. I think Adar wanted to block out the sun for the orcs and used Sauron's plans to do it. Honestly most of this is pretty dumb storytelling but we are stuck with it.
One tiny detail you forgot to mention about the Dwarves/Elves storyline is not only did King Gil-Galad magically know about Mithril's existence but he also knew the exact name it was called even though Elrond is seemingly the first one to translate it into Elvish. So mind-numbingly stupid. I know this might give the amateur writers too much credit but I think the hilt is used for multiple things. At least that is one way they could possibly save the existence of a magical sword that only seems to open the spillway of a dam. Make it a multi-tool. lol
I thought it was bold that the writers ended up killing half the characters off in 1 big explosion. Like the Game of thrones approach, makes me feel that any of the other characters can just die at any point.
Whenever I want to summarize the subplots of RoP I feel like I am too dumb, because the moment you start thinking about it logically, it gets really hard to wrap my head around
"... and then we'll have an awesome pyroclastic flow rush through the village, immediately vaporising everyone as Mount Doom is created!" "You have remembered that Galadriel has to survive that, haven't you?" A moment passes. "But we've shot that scene! The CGI was awesome!" *sigh* "Nah. It'll be fine. We'll write in some magic 'n' sh*t. Her armour is fireproof or somesuch." The sound of someone quietly sobbing.
Here's how prophecy works: If the elf is going to destroy the island and you keep her there, she'll cut the one rope holding the island together. If you kill her, you'll piss off someone who'll destroy the island. If you let her go, she'll come back with or instigate the destruction... The footsteps of doom and all that.
As Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power releases episode 6 we FINALLY have something happen and several storylines reach a reveal point....and oh boy it was probably better that they didn't. Here are the summaries (although I can probably fit the entire series into a 30 minute description) of my top 3 worst storylines for Rings of power, spoiler, they don't make ANY SENSE. But what were your worst stories or characters from Rings of Power, let me know your thoughts below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Ahhh. Sorry sir, since I have not watched a single minute(Only channels that dunk on it) I would not be able to give you feedback. Good day!
Surviving a pyroclastic cloud and 400°c heat. Is Galadriel from Krypton now?
All this rewriting cannon I would not be surprised if Galadriel is Sauron.
The show runners must have LotR and GoT mixed up and though Galadriel has Targaryen blood and immune to heat.
I'm surprised you didn't compare Sauron's sword/key to the same joke that Red vs. Blue did many years ago.
For an epic tale, it strikes me just how small it all is. The south lands is 100 villagers. The orc army conquering and claiming it's new home is 200 orcs. Numenor is 300 soldiers. Epic? These groups are so small they could have wandered around for weeks and not found each other.
Well, apparently to the writers, the entirety of Middle Earth is about 200 square miles or so. That's why they seem to think that sailing from Middle Earth to Valinor should only take an afternoon, walking from Eregion to Khazad-Dum should only take an hour or two, and that someone could realistically swim from Valinor back to Middle Earth. They have absolutely no concept of how large Middle Earth is. They just hand-waive the massive time frames it would take to do all the stuff they're doing, and so you have Galadriel's trip to Valinor, Numenor getting ready to send out its (tiny) army, sailing to Middle Earth, getting debarked and everyone geared up, then riding across the southlands to find the village taking about 4-5 days, rather than the 3+ months it should.
Thank you, you've articulated what was bothering me so much (besides the awful writing). It's just so small it's anti-epic
@@Dave_L913 Writer's logic: there's only 1 town in the Southlands. That's how Galadriel know where the orcs would be.
Audience: But in episode 2 there was another village that was attacked by the orc. Surely there's other towns?
Writer's logic: Exactly, there WAS another town, but no more.
Darkwing Duck, haven’t seen you in a while, old friend! Glad to see that you are using your analytical skills for a good purpose. You are right about the scale of the show. Another example is that swimming through the entire ocean is a pleasant afternoon dog paddle or possibly a nice relaxing sidestroke. 😂 Hey, what if the “worm” sea monster was Sauron in worm shape? Did we see Halbrand and the worm in the same frame? If not, he could’ve killed off the other people on the raft so he could have special alone time with Big G.
the south lands a 100 villagers?
you exaggerating, if it is more then 50 it is CGI, but I think it is even less.
I LOVED the scene when Gretadriel yelled to the incinerating volcanic cloud: "HOW DARE YOU!?"
So inspiring!
She took back her power.
From a volcano. That represents the male patriarchy.
So brave. I’m in tears.
I love the scene where Galadriel sees the cloud shooting at her and she holds out her hand and quietly says, "No." And then the cloud completely freezes in place. Then we see her pick a small rock from the cloud and look at it curiously, and then drop it and the entire cloud falls to the ground as ash.
She survives because at the last moment she said, "There's a tempest in me!" And the volcano turned and retreated in fear and anxiety.
It's obvious that Galadriel survives because of the tempest within her.
Empowerment
Let’s not forget the apothecary that declares herself king before later happily welcoming an unknown man as the true king…of a couple dozen peasants? So inspirational.

If the writers put the same effort into the story as the shills do in 'explaining' the impossibilities in this show, it would have been the most amazing series ever.
The shills won't accept the problems with the show until Ryan George does a movie pitch meeting video about it.
The writers seem to think that a pyroclastic flow is just a dust cloud. Perhaps when at college, they didn't read volcano books because of trigger warnings.
If she survives the glowing boulders the size of a barn. 800-degree heat, toxic gases, dust that's basically powdered glass and a pressure wave travelling at 150 mph, she still has to reach the new surface level which will be 30 metres above her head.

Galadriel was supposed to be a sage and a political opponent of Annatar's reformist ideas. She was a philosopher-queen in the end of the Second Age. In the series she is a Karen.
She's a philosokaren-queen
Wrong. She is a Karen-Chad.
@Rafael Gustavo She is a TEMPEST 🤣
In Episode 1 she demands to speak to the elves' manager. In Episode 2 she demands to speak to the raft's manager. In Episode 3 she demands to speak to Numenor's manager. In Episode 4 she demands to speak to that manager's manager. In Episode 5 she demands to speak to Sauron's manager. In Episode 6 she demands to speak to Adar's manager. I'm on the edge of my seat wondering whose manager she'll demand to speak to next!
Well with how this episode ended, everyone can just stop watching here and head canon it to the Karen dieing and the real Galadriel waking up, realizing she had been trapped in a nightmare (brought on by dark magic) about being an insufferable bitch.
Moral inversion in a modern tv show? The villain is reasonable and justified, and the hero a merciless fanatic. Why, surely not. Who could have foreseen such a thing. My surprise is...nonexistent.

@@pocophonef1379 I did too, hoping we would get a solid story about how an Elf ( the only one looking like an Elf) could become so traumatised that he became a force of evil.
It is lore that Elves who escaped from Morgoths prisons were not trusted by the other Elves, perfect material I would say.
but no, they killed him off by taken a short cut as being Ur-Papa-Orc.
Tolkien painted himself a bit in a corner with the origin of Orc's, he was never really content with about the four versions he toyed with.
But it now seems the showrunners just walked over the still wet painted floor and painted themselves in another corner.
The corrupted elf version is in the Tolkien lore they have no access to.
Imagine Sauron explaining his plan: I made this dark object with evil magic powers that when fed the blood of a willing slave will open up a...DAM FLOODGATE!! *confused orc noises* But that will only work if you dig a bunch of irrigation tunnels first. *more confused orc noises*
Lol. That is hilarious. They looked for the master sword key the whole time they could have just destroyed the damn dam. The writing is meant for people that don't question a damn thing......a true master plan.
This is a modern master piece of a story telling. If you don't like it, then you're a misogynist
"Also I need you all to dig a trench so that all the water can flow from the bottom of a dam to the top of a volcano. You can do that, right?"
I don't understand why they are so afraid of using a supernatural explanation: the sword is obviously magical, but the way it works seemingly uses science, as if you could build such a contraption in real life.
Considering that we have a canon precedent in Caradras, they could have made so that Mt Doom hosts a sentient evil spirit as well, and using the sword as intended can rile this spirit and cause him to erupt the volcano.
But no, they had to introduce and foreshadow everything as "utter black magic" when it's just engineering, which makes little sense, as if Arondir, who just used the whole tower-crumbling contraption, can't tell them apart from 'sorcery'.
@@dariovirga7711 well said, and this extends to the entire show : the forging of the rings eventually doesn’t involve any magic, it’s just about combining materials… how is this supposed to generate all powerful objects ?
The explanation for Galadriel walking into the pyroclastic cloud makes it even worse.
I didn't think it was possible to make this terrible writing worse but they somehow found a way.
And no, you can't survive that. A pyroclastic cloud is probably one of the most deadly natural phenomenon that can occur on this planet.
They did give an explanation already? In the aftershow?
Never underestimate plot-armour.

@@ChristmasLore Don't know, don't give a shit.
It's 100% un-survivable. End of story.
It is perfectly possible for them to survive: At the last moment GaLADriel says she wants to speak with the cloud's manager, the cloud decides it does not want to deal with her, so it goes around her
I like to imagine Sauron getting halfway through setting up his big plan before thinking "This is so stupid, it'll never work" before abandoning it to go chill out in the North, only for Adar to eventually find his discarded blueprints decades later and think "This is genuis, a true visionary masterpiece!" and then proceed to finish the project while Sauron is in retirement...
Now I imagine Sauron making a surprised Pikachu face when Adar actually pulls it off. "Holy frigg...That shouldn't have worked. Ever! Maybe I AM genius!" And thus the hubris was born that leads to hs ultimate defeat. x'D

I like how you refer to Galadriel as the "evil, manipulative, 'person'" right at the end of the video. I was expecting a different word but appreciate your restraint.
Here's the thing about coincidences. If you use them to make the struggles of our protagonists harder, it feels more satisfying to see them succeed since all odds were stacked against them. But using them to aid a protagonist feels lazy and only makes the victories feel unearned and based on luck.
According to Disparu, the show should be renamed to: Lord of the Coincidence: The Coincidence of Power

Disparu is always right! Everything that happens after episode six is just the delusions of the characters while they suffer in hell - because no one in Pompeii survived Mount Vesuvius.
Key difference: No one in Pompeii was a superstar girl boss commander of armies because they were ruled by toxic masculinity and the volcanic eruption was the ultimate feminist revenge, which unfortunately backfired (ha!) on the ladies as well.
@@dronesclubhighjinks "the Doom is always right"
Actually Pompeii had population of 20k and only 2k died in Pompeii , some fled to sea and on boats and rescued by navy some had fled to other towns further up and some had fled a weeks earlier as huge earthquakes and funny skyfall put the wind up them luckily.Those in the city who hadn't fled at the height of the eruption of course had no chance.

One of the many things that annoys me is the complete abandonment of the fact that Morgoth’s army was mostly monsters not just orcs werewolves, vampires, dragons, giants and spiders which reminds me why did they not include Ungoliant shes the reason Morgoth destroyed the trees it’s like if House Of The Dragon not include Vagahar
werewolves and vampires?
One wonders if that's down to the specific source material to which Amazon bought the rights
I love LOTR but I'm not about to read a 1000+page novel plus Appendices in the next five minutes just to see to what degree Morgoth's army is mentioned
they didn't have the license to use the spiders so they had to 'improvise'...make up their own storyline for the destruction of the trees.
They don't have the rights. They literally don't have the legal rights to tell the story they're claiming to tell.
@@LordHerek yup, werewolves and vampires. Not exactly as you're probably envisioning, but they exist in Tolkien
in Fellowship of the Ring it's heavily implied they were attacked by a pack of werewolves before taking the Moria road. It was cut from the film because admittedly the scene itself is a little vague and hard to explain
Sauron, in fact, is the father of all Werewolves and was a shapeshifter himself in his physical form
After spending episodes convincing the whole village to go to the tower, she immediately tells them to go back to the village.
So far, Mount Doom already removed the bad guys twice in the Middle Earth. Long life to Mount Doom !
Episode 6 can only be described as: watching 5.9 hour long documentary on how bread is made in Pompeii, only for the volcano to blow 15 mins before the bread is finished and everyone dies.

i can't wait to see how they write themselves out of this black hole of mt. doom exploding and destroying everything in its wake. should make all kinds of sense.
It’s called a phreatic eruption (geologist here), so the set off is actually possible. However, the manner in which they caused the eruption is completely implausible.
Seeing how Amazon keeps ruining franchise makes me so afraid about what they are gonna do in future seasons of Invincible.
Sauron's plan at risk of failing if a family of beavers decide to live on that stream
Oooh maybe the Beavers from Narnia can come over and thwart evil!
Oh, for me the plan of defense that is counting on the sole premise that the orcs would ALL walk over the bridge spanning this 3 feet wide "stream" for it to work, then captureing the orc horde between 2 weak lines of fire, one can easily jump through is clearly the highlight.
But to be fair, it works very well against the Numneoreans as well... at least half their Cavalry also just uses the bridge to attack in double file, not spread out and take a little jump over the "stream".
Almost as bad as shooting a burning arrow to burn a rope which was structurally holding up a watch tower. The engineer must of been a genius.
The next storyline with the elves: Mithril powers them but (drum roll) kryptonite weakens them! Sauron’s next plan - to obtain all the kryptonite he can get his hands on! It probably came out of that volcanic explosion.

Mark Twain spoke of writing a novel and not much liking his main character. As he came to the story's end, he found this character had disappeared. So he searched for him and found that the "hero" had fallen down a well in chapter six. I thought something similar was going on with the Rings of Power: That next week we would discover Galadriel died and she's actually the third cousin of Tolkien's Galadriel and all the other characters are similarly distant relations -- quite distant, really -- and the names they use were quite common back in the day and none of this has anything to do with Tolkien's work.

"Why do we have a complicated magic key?" Because the writers are dumb enough to confuse complexity with intelligence, when actually subtlety and simplicity are the true hallmarks of an intelligent plan.
The only way the show can redeem some of its "heroes" is to simply have them all be various manifestations of Sauron to explain their respective examples of calculated evil..
Sauron just went out of his way to destroy a dam with extra steps.
Galadriel is alwaxs called "commander of the northern armies" even she lost that job in episode 1 😂😂😂
For reals. And it was never an army. It was like 15 dudes and her.
So in summary: Sauron trolls everyone with an evil Rube Goldberg machine.
I had this crazy storyline of how it is Galadriel's Good Clone that Frodo meets in Lord of the Rings
Sauron is actually Galadriel's Evil Clone
At this point, if I'd watched the show rather than watched your reviews, I would gladly have walked into an erupting volcano for a moment of peace as well.
The weird thing is that I'm certain the real Galadriel possibly could survive a volcanic eruption, since she does actually have powers. And not only that, but given her kind and selfless nature in the books and PJ movies, she would also save as many people as she could; perhaps putting a magic barrier over everyone. I mean, it's a tiny ass village with like three houses, I doubt a magic shield around that would be too hard to pull off.
But this show seems to keep forgetting that Galadriel even has magic to begin with. She doesn't even have the power of foresight and perception (her most prominent power) otherwise she could have easily have discovered who Sauron was disguised as.
So either they're just gonna pull out the magic stuff in the next episode to "surprise" the audience (which at this point would just feel like a massive ass-pull) OR somehow everyone's going to survive a volcanic eruption.
Either way, I think I'm just done with this show, and I really don't see it getting any better.
Oh, I'm sure they'll have her pull something out of her ass to save most of the people there. Or at least all the Named Characters(tm). Even though the show has never showed her ability with magic before. It'll just be another contrivance pulled out to get a character out of the situation the garbage writers have put them in. The writers for this show are absolute trash. They keep wanting to toss characters into 'cool scenes', without realizing you have to build up to things like that, and give reasons both why they're there, and how they survive, without just hand-waiving it away or pulling insane contrives out of their ass.
Like her jumping into the sea to swim back to Middle Earth. Yeah, it's only a 1300+ mile swim, she'll be fine. And of course she's not only picked up once but TWICE, in an area of ocean that NOBODY goes to. And the people on the first raft are worried about 'corsairs'. Pirates? Really? Who are the pirates raiding? The only land out there is Valinor (and pirates sure as hell aren't going to be raiding the home of the elves and gods) and Numenor, which isn't a trading empire (and no band of pirates is going to be dumb enough to try and raid one of their towns or cities). It's just another throw-away line to 'sound cool' and nothing more, with zero thought put into it.
Well put! Thank you!

It's all done with manatees.
So, boats float because they always look up" Or... the people on top are up there because they're optimistic, and "rocks sink because they always look down"... which could be seen as "You're low on the totem because you're pessimistic, and possibly depressed. Fix yourself."
Balloons yes they float and when your down here with me YOU'LL FLOAT TO !!!!!!!
also the water of the damm looks up to the stars, too... because then it can flow uphill to Mount Doom, that is the highest elevation in the area...
Stones sink and boats float because the sea is always right! In another comment section, a clever person brought up whether “sea“ also refers to freshwater because, if it does, then the sea was right about the volcano erupting. The logic is so logically logical that it would make Spock swoon amirite?
Time to make the rock float by making it look up
Totally not because of buoyancy or whatever
Galadriel survives because she used her ring that was she given secretly under a secret order by a secret craftsman in a secret place and secretly given to her by a secret messenger that Gil-Gilad secretly sent because he knew that Galadriel would leap to her certain death into the ocean, find her way to Numenor and convince the Numenorians to attack orcs so his elves wouldn't have to, but fail at stopping Sauron starting his Mt Doom where he can secretly craft magic rings.
Shhhh. Its supposed a secret
Well, if you take anything that Tolkien wrote into consideration, which the writers clearly didn't, then she is in possession of Nenya, which can protect people from evil. However, she wouldn't have used it because she swore to keep it secret as long as Sauron has the one ring, which he has already forged in mt doom, which wasn't created by water released by a magic key. He had also finished building barad-dur, started a war with the elves and given rings to the dwarf lords and kings of men who have now become the nazgul. Meanwhile, Celebrimbor is dead and Eregion has been destroyed, Elrond has established the refuge of Rivendell and Galadriel lives in Lothlorien with her husband Celeborn and their almost 3000 year-old daughter, and this is all before Elendil was born, and he should be over 100 in the show. So strange that a show called the rings of power seems to be taking place after the rings of power were made, but hasn't included them in the story at all. 🤔

This sounds more like a D&D scenario dreamt up by 13 year old wanna be DM making his first campaign than a well crafted epic fantasy.
I literally see this as d&d session in which DM forgot to prepare and just skimmed his notes, players forgot what kind of backstory they wrote and do not roleplay their allignement ( Hey, are you not supposed to be lawful good?) nobody cares about encumbrence rules and one girl had extraordinary luck with her stats and is also avid min-maxer so when she was creating her elven warrior she of course decided that charisma is a dump stat.
I have only a faint glimmering of an idea of what you two are talking about, but you seem way more intelligent and self-aware than the writers are. Please replace them!
What's in the Halbrand's pouch?
I think, it's Sauron's sigil stamp and Galadriel will find out that.
It' the key to his Chasity belt, preventing him for ever really being a male.
It'll get sweaty, and at some point a butt plug will be needed. Halbrand takes the sigil out, and uses it vigorously. He's spent, weirdly regretful, almost immobilized. Guylad then whispers softly: Your turn.
In the morning, she looks at the sigil still in her hand, and realizes...
What she was missing in her marriage.
Cut to Celeborn receiving an oddly shaped package from Celebrimbor, with a cryptic message from his wife.
🙈
Not after they fall in love and Guyladriel is betrayed by revealing he is not-sauron and promises the wrath of her fury.
Yeah, the 1st thing that came to mind when Guyladriel took a pyroclastic flow/surge directly to the face was Pompeii and how the ppl were found petrified from the pyroclastic flow. Such BS. Every single one of them would be dead as a doornail.

5:31 no man come on!!! her story starts when her men commit mutiny, because if that didnt happened she would still be going north! in the exact opposite direction of everything!
I couldn't get past the first two episodes, but I still watch most videos here on TH-cam related to it! Hahaha
The best RoP killer right here!
Here's my theory. Dynastic wealth corporate elite rulers (Disney, Amazon) cannot distinguish good from evil so the films/TV they create are as muddled as they are. Mulan fought a war to defend her oppressor. Reva allied herself with Vader while imagining she was opposing Vader. Galadriel is a rage-filled sociopath who is apparently starting a romance with (spoiler alert) Sauron. Then there's Rey with Kylo Ren. All of those are superior-by-birth natural superbeings who believe themselves morally upright but flirt with dark forces. Sound like any corporate executives we know?
"i will kill everyone that you care and then i will kill you last"
- guyladriel (supposedly the good guys)
she was ready to ditch that too 10 seconds later. " F it, i cant wait, i must kill you NOW".
this was standard behavior of the villains before the woke age.
"she drowned" -> "the sea is always right" -> savage af
Let me start with the point that I LOVE this channel and everything that he's put out since I discovered it a few weeks ago. Not since first discovering the Critical Drinker a few years ago have I enjoyed listening to one of our British cousins(British? English? UK'er? I don't know, I know with the Drinker it's UK) verbally dismantle and eviscerate shit passing itself off as entertainment. That said, in the spirit of at least attempting to be fair, I feel the need to make one small defense of the show against a critique. In pointing out all the ridiculous, and unlikely series of events that allowed her to survive jumping off the ship and getting to her destination you pointed out that "if any one of them DIDN'T happen, it would have totally ended the story."
But then, they would have all had to have happened then, wouldn't they? If they didn't we wouldn't actually have a show to laugh it. At most the story would have been "she jumped off the ship, never to be seen again…"
the critical drinker is a moron
ive been so checked out while watching this show, that i didn't realize that volcano is supposed to be mount doom. one does not simply create Mordor.
I just can't watch this anymore. I mean, i enjoy watching Disparu's and Nerdrotic's videos about it, but i can't watch this garbage anymore. I wasn't even paying for it, and even sailing for it feels like a chore. Imagine people actually paying to watch this!
Not to mention for Sauron’s “master plan” was Adar lying to gladriel about hating Sauron and trying to kill him out of vengeance, or was he lying to her saying that to throw her off to fulfill Sauron’s plan? Because it looked to me like he wanted to fulfill Sauron’s wishes which undermines his motivations entirely..?
Yup, genius stuff.
In the show it feels like Adar carried out the Sauron's plan to make a place for the orcs as he feels like they deserve their own land too. However, he feels like both Sauron and Galadrial are evil - One wants to use them, and the other wants to kill them all.
Sauron doesn't even want to be in the Southlands. He was just badgered into it to help Galadriel with her genocide.
I think Adar does hate Sauron/Halbrand. Because of that confrontation in the woods. "Remember me? Remember what you did?" According to Adar, he tried to kill Sauron/Halbrand. Adar thinks he is dead and Halbrand doesn't look like Sauron so he doesn't realize he failed. I think Adar wanted to block out the sun for the orcs and used Sauron's plans to do it. Honestly most of this is pretty dumb storytelling but we are stuck with it.
Amazon's $1B Tax Write-off of Power
One tiny detail you forgot to mention about the Dwarves/Elves storyline is not only did King Gil-Galad magically know about Mithril's existence but he also knew the exact name it was called even though Elrond is seemingly the first one to translate it into Elvish. So mind-numbingly stupid.
I know this might give the amateur writers too much credit but I think the hilt is used for multiple things. At least that is one way they could possibly save the existence of a magical sword that only seems to open the spillway of a dam. Make it a multi-tool. lol
I thought it was bold that the writers ended up killing half the characters off in 1 big explosion. Like the Game of thrones approach, makes me feel that any of the other characters can just die at any point.
Except that....we know Galadriel is still alive. Unless they're going to completely rewrite history of the entirety of Lord of the Rings.
@@tsnophaljakarax9963 Elendil and Isildur too
@@esquilax5563 I bet one or both of the buddies made it too
I hope Galadrial dies, and that modern day Isildur.... I know that's impossible, but I'd be happy to see the show without these two
Considering how those people seems fine from having lava bombs land right next to them, I wouldn't worry too much.
I’m feeling guilty about enjoying your reviews as this horrid show seems to be destroying your sanity😆
Whenever I want to summarize the subplots of RoP I feel like I am too dumb, because the moment you start thinking about it logically, it gets really hard to wrap my head around
"... and then we'll have an awesome pyroclastic flow rush through the village, immediately vaporising everyone as Mount Doom is created!"
"You have remembered that Galadriel has to survive that, haven't you?"
A moment passes.
"But we've shot that scene! The CGI was awesome!"
*sigh*
"Nah. It'll be fine. We'll write in some magic 'n' sh*t. Her armour is fireproof or somesuch."
The sound of someone quietly sobbing.
Out of all the rings of power review TH-cam channels, Disparu you are my fav! Keep up the great work.
The leader of the orcs seems to be the most relatable and complex person in this story so far.
Here's how prophecy works: If the elf is going to destroy the island and you keep her there, she'll cut the one rope holding the island together. If you kill her, you'll piss off someone who'll destroy the island. If you let her go, she'll come back with or instigate the destruction... The footsteps of doom and all that.
