Hardly anyone has heard of the books. They are very light on CGI and there are no multi-racial fake-Irish peasants to preach about love and family, before they abandoned you to your death because of a sprained ankle.
I'm afraid it's all too much for me. I tried to watch it but was soon overwhelmed by it's brilliance and had to go and have a little lie down while I tried to wrap my head around the sheer scope and majesty that I had seen. I don't think I'm evolved enough to truly comprehend the glory that is Rings Of Power and will have to crawl back to the more simplistic and childlike writings of Professor Tolkein until my mind has developed the necessary depth to understand - a couple of years after I'm diagnosed with Alzheimers should be about right.
*Well, my experience with This soon to be Classic was a bit less dramatic. In the first couple of minutes, I experienced an overwhelming urge to puke. After about 50 or so minutes of quite painful barfing, I was just fine.*
I may have the same problem... or it's maybe just my internalized misogyny.. Or just maybe the characters are unlikable and writing is terrible..? Maybe time will tell😅
I hope they make sauron a trans woman! She can go to war with middle earth because they are transphobes and she stands up to the hateful patriarchy and smashes it!
At first I thought I was watching a B-grade movie, but then I realized it was much more than that, I was watching a true masterpiece, one that will be remembered through the ages as the biggest waste of money in history!
When you said "Oscar-winning performances" you should've shown that clip from episode 3 where a guy just looks in the camera and smiles and nods saying "look Mom I'm on TV" with his eyes. When the rest of the crowd is cheering forward, he just turns around and looks straight into the camera. Greatest actor that ever lived, hope he got the majority of those one billion dollars for that scene.
You have opened my eyes. I thought until just now that RoP was a mediocre utterly generic fantasy series which covers pedestrian storytelling with nice vistas and prose so purple you got to drank it. Now, I see clearly. Thank you for showing me my error.
This is what makes their writing so brilliant. They care enough to tell you how you're supposed to feel about each and every character and event. Revolutionary writing, without equal!
This series is so socially revolutionary, that it promises to save an entire generation by making ALL the children WOKE! How fortunate you are, Danien, to be alive at a time when you can see this process begin. Your children no longer need your toxic male influence, they can now be raised in Galadriel's strong feminist light!
How do u write a legendary story? Shock your audience... Like the harfoots who in one scene sings "no one gets left behind!!". And in the same episode a couple of moments later threaten to kick a group member out because he is injured!! Like wow!! Subvert expectations... Beautifull
@Franka *66 galadriel by the 2nd age is almost 6000 years old, has spent thousands of years under the tutelage of the gods and somehow has become this bitter insufferable karen. But in todays world a karen is somehow seen as strong wahmen. Its ridiculous.
When Guy-Lad-Reee-Elle held baby yoda above her head on that hill top in front of her army of xenomorphs and proclaimed "All these things will be lost in time, like singing in the rain" I was forced to tears.
The Rings of Power is a proud product of the "Everyone Gets a Participation Trophy" generation. A generation raised to be confident and arrogant, coz theyve been so assured they're inherently the best. Even though they really suck
@@guyskillen oh yes, ofcourse that! Pretty much required these days. The worst part are those emotionally compromised white males who let this artificially made white guilt influence their choices and decisions. Disgusting.
And this, my friend, is the exact reason why a supposedly forever young-looking elven smith Celebrimbor looks like a withering 60-year old man. Even a thought that someone as illustrious and perfect as Galadriel can be a beloved figure to some disgusting white male elf, not to mention accepting a ring from him as an act of sincerest adoration from his side, sounds heretical. This is also the reason why Celebrimbor can't figure out any idea by himself despite supposedly being the most masterful and talented elven artifician since white male king Feanor.
Her smile... the stuff of true nightmares... Seriously, top notch acting there! I always thought no country for old man had the best depiction of a true psychopath... But Guyladriel manages to beat that performance with merely a smile. One can only bow to such brilliance... or get called out by the brilliant makers of RoP for being a mysoginistic racist something, I suppose...
Thank you for giving this ground-breaking, progressive masterpiece the florid plaudits it deserves. Frankly, I don't know how I'll be able read Tolkien again after Rings of Power. I look forward to Homer, Shakespeare and the likes of Tolstoy getting the same revisionist treatment. Those dudes were criminally out of touch with modern sensibilities.
Imagine Ana Karenina as a black woman in high Russian society who doesn't throw herself under the train but marries her lover count Vronski, who doesn't go to Serbia in war but instead becomes a samurai commits harikiru. Later on Ana becomes leader of the Imperial Russia armies and attacks Germany and France and cuts of gas supplies to Europe, it would be a modern vision of Tolstoy 😂
When galadriel the spirit of every female American cop's delusion of themselves burst into the tavern that one time to confront the internet bullies I nearly cried a stain into my girlfriends boyfriends lap.
Years ago if you said that, I would've laughed and said "Naaaaaaah, they wouldn't do that, would they?" but in today's times I feel like that could very well happen, I heard whisperings that they were going to re-adapt 1984 so that it is retold through the feminist lens, the irony really is too rich.
@@jelena7440 Imagine "War and Peace" where Natasha is not a silly girl but a strong independent black lgbt woman who defeats Napoleon's armies single handedly! Hollywood needs to rewrite, reboot and remake all classics, not just Tolkien. Just as they did with all their movies from '80s, '90s...
Did anyone get the impression the creators of the original trilogy films hated women? In fact, they respected women so much that no woman was treated like an object throughout the entire 3 films, and one even got to keep her own storyline where she goes into combat and kills a final boss. This show on the other hand is written as if by middleschool girls who have seething contempt for men in general.
I know, they end up ignoring the strong women's achievements, because all three end up being trapped by a straight white male! Eowyn should have continued being a girl boss warrior queen instead of realizing that she wants love instead of valor, and life instead of death.
I just burned all of my Tolkien books, and the Peter Jackson films. It took years to collect and read all of them and too watch the movie so many times. But alas, I only just now realized that I could have just skipped all of that and watched this stunning show. Thank you for spreading the word.
"she understands that true acting comes from the eyes" I'm dead x) She also understands that her character is pure anger and contempt, and did an amazing job at it.
I wish I’d just skipped LOTR and started with Rings of Power because this is the pinnacle of storytelling. Wait ..your saying this is also a book series ? Oh well no need to read when it’s so beautiful envisioned by Amazon. Thanks Simon Tolkien for your vision..your papa and grandpa would be oh so proud.

Finally, someone gets it! It's called storytelling not storyshowing! Why should we have to discern from the details what can be repeatedly explained to us in dialog over and over and over again? Nori is brave and precocious and Galadriel is an orc killing hero General, we need not see this competently depicted when it can instead be told to us with dialog so well crafted and moving, that it stirred a "tempest inside me" that was impossible to see, but which, fortunately, I was compelled to explain to everyone in words. Well done, Amazon.
The part where Galadriel was staring in the light of Valinor literally had me in tears. Such dramatic acting, I forgot it was a show and not real life afterall for a moment. A true masterpiece.
There must be about 70,000 elves full time making garments all day for every freaking move of an elf. Unless they were able to keep flowing lace gowns pristine across the entire ocean on an open plank boat. Which one?
Honestly I was a non-believer, I cast scorn upon this show, I disliked the changes but you... you have awoken a tempest in me, a tempest of stunning and brave equity, shining a light on my previous ignorance, and driving it back into the shadows as the sun does to the anemic orcs. Thank you, a thousand times thank you.
Oh -- that was a tempest? The scales have fallen from my eyes! I thought it was indigestion from swallowing crap -- thank you for the Alka-Seltzer of truth!
Well.dont just stand there.sending thank yous, go out and find a dark skinned person and make your life revolve around their happiness you freakin sinner.
That was amazing. Extraordinary, quite extraordinary (c, John Watson in 'Sherlock') At first I thought it was for real and only clicked it to check whether there were indignant people in the comments section. I'm so happy I did. As a philologist, specialist in literature and lover of good storytelling I salute you!
A much-needed update on books that nobody cared about anymore, and films that were beloved and revered by nobody. Truly, a step forward for progressissivsm and a step backward for racicism. The world needed this, and Jeff Bezos diligently delivered it to our homes. Thank you, Jeff, may your scalp shine through the years like the eye of Sauron on Barad-dur!
When Galadriel got on her knees, grabbed a handful of earth, and said “As Eru Iluvatar is my witness, as Iluvatar is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be powerless again. No, nor any of my kinfolk.” I was in tears
@@Weather-more I’ll save you the trouble, here it is: “As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again.”
You've changed so much since watching. It's like I don't know you anymore, but somehow it's like I've known you since before time now. I will look up at the light at first light, and not down like the rocks.
Somewhere out there someone is subscribed to your channel who doesn't know what irony or sarcasm is and yet he watched and liked every single one of your videos.
After watching The Hobbit I never thought Tolkien could be done better... then came along Rings of Power. Oh my god how wrong I was. A masterpiece, surely this is the show!!
My God thank you for opening my eyes to the truth of this opus magnus of storytelling. Tolkien's original works were just ok, Jackson's trilogy was mildly passable...but this series is what humanity was crying out for!!! The world can never thank Amazon enough!!
If evil wasn't born does that mean the Elven children who sunk Galdriels boat in an act of bullying have started to become the future corrupted Orcs, or do the writers think that bullying is actually a good action that helps the victims develop strength and good moral character?
"Hey let's have some mean kids in PARDISE that are magical elves also, throw rocks at galsriels perfect boat. Right? Sound cool?" That's about all the thought and time that went into that most likely.
This is what I’ve been trying to tell everyone but no one listens to me. The Rings of Power for me really honestly is the most amazing series to come out of all time.
Quintessential review. I’ve been stunned by the simplistic beauty of narrative free narrative (eg slow motion riding), by the innovative setting destroying setting (eg. every actor with significant different genetic makeup) and creative illogical depiction of logic (eg. Ocean swim)
I loved when Elrond thought to himself, "But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Sister."
But at least galadriel is truly and completely perfect, so it's not reeeeally a fair comparison. The good men would never resist strong woman in the first place, just the orc(aucasions) evil type of oppression men would.
Millions were thinking it and someone finally stepped up to tell it like it is. Thank you for your bravery in raising your voice; wisdom in your explanation; and, most importantly, for being insightful enough to recognize the brilliance of this epic modern classic. Few have the courage to come out. You have enlightened the lives of billions. Their ignorance shall now be destroyed, their blind eyes opened. Thank you

rings of power has given me many hours of fun and happiness.... watching sooo many youtube shows pick it apart with delightful and fully deserved enthusiasm has kept me amused for months and i was honestly a bit sad when the series finally finished its carnival of nonsense... to all those channels that made me laugh whilst destroying the mess of this insult to mr tolkeins memory and work i would like to give my sincere thanks and regards/.. great work guys,great work :-)
I was hoping to see some magic rings. But alas, I see now there are more important matters in Middle Earth. Like, "Broken ankle" or "No cut down tree". Thank you, Jeff. Very cool.
I work for the ROP production team. Thank you for your many and varied complements. So glad you like the direction we took and am sure the audience will agree. Already being touted as a modern classic, we're thrilled with the reviewers' response to sizeable bribes we made. Well, how else do you think this garbage cost 1/4bn?
What you've created surpasses Breaking bad, game of thrones, the wire and the sopranos, it should be regarded as the gold standard. A true 10 out of 10, and you don't get these very often.
It really is a masterpiece. Going to infinity and beyond of absolute d̶o̶g̶s̶... I wept at the beauty of this show. The story stirs my soul into pure bliss, even thinking about it is enough to overcome my sorrow with joy. We'll never see a story of this quality again, and hopefully no one ever will.
This was amazing…thank you so much for giving my brain the sarcasm and intelligent discourse that I need to restore vital function…this show should come with a medical warning!
Fantastic! SUPERB! Although you forgot to mention the absolutely logical actions taken by the characters within the storyline, how brilliant are fight scenes, reasonings for their attitudes, their travelings, beeing exactly where they need to be, in the sea or running from orcs in the forest, among every little logical details is set to perfection.
THE RINGS OF POWER IS A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE.. True perfection of modern TV series.. Thanks for making this possible Amazon.. Love what you done to Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Trilogy.... Lots Of love 😝🤪😜
Tolkien not only would’ve tipped his hat, he would’ve just given his stories over to them out of sheer respect and humility. He would’ve recognized that Payne and McKay are the superior storytellers. Stunning and brave.
Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, Trophy, Ribbon, Star on forehead! All the accolades possible! A copy must be sent to congress for posterity! The show is so good it hurts my eyes to even gaze upon it.
@@ccchicken8889 but then she replies " In town you're the law, out here it's me. Don't push it! Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe" 5/5 best writing ever...
A guy running a small youtube channel (no offense) can write a subtle monologue yet people with a billion dollars are struggling to dredge a single line from their subconscious? I guess we know where the true talent lies. Well done king Ar Phamazon...you've somehow tricked us all into turning on Tolkien and taking the path of light, wisdom and transcendence. It doesnt require the deep wells of foresight posessed by Elrond to see that your show will certainly go down in history.
"Bill and Ben, the flowerpot men" - wheezing over here. I have friends who are actually enjoying this horrible show and I don't know whether to apologise or cry.
Simply the best. Honestly, I am only bothered by the fact, that I am 41 and there is not enough time to my life, to rewatch it as many times as would I wish to.
Hello. I was born without the ability to recognize sarcasm. Is this an accurate review? I heard it’s a show about nothing. But I didn’t see Jerry or George anywhere.
Surely, you are THE master of understatement. For the depth of this monumentally important masterpiece shall not be pierced by the mundane light of human intellect no matter how long the species will endure.
After watching the insta-classic "Rings of Power" I knew immediately what I must do. So, I left my wife and children behind to undertake a pilgrimage to the far corners of the Earth and tell those who do not know of its saving grace and storytelling power. No longer will the world suffer from boredom. We have been saved by the holy lamb of cinema.
That moment when Guyladriel told Sauron "I'm an independent woman who don't need no man!" I was crying happy tears, I stood up and clapped. Best moment in television history.
At first, I hated it, but then I realized I was just showing my elitist good story appreciation privilege. I will endeavor to be an ally for juvenile poorly crafted but forcibly diverse storytelling in the future.
I was once lost, but now after this video, I am found. Thank you Amazon for all of your work helping fix my ancient mind into the new and glorious light of PC culture.
I thought I was watching an episode of Xena from the lighting, camera shots and acting. Not that I would know, just what I imagined it would feel like. That or a soap opera trying to be a fantasy play. I made it 12 minutes just to laugh at it.
I still remember when Guyladriel said to the Snow Troll:" Everything that has a beginning has an end , Neo" before she killed him....I cried so hard...epic!!
I didn't even know that they wrote a book based on this masterpiece of a show
you can not burn a show- but you can burn books
@@rgerber You can burn the ones who made the show tho

Honestly I was a non-believer, I cast scorn upon this show, I disliked the changes but you... you have awoken a tempest in me, a tempest of stunning and brave equity, shining a light on my previous ignorance, and driving it back into the shadows as the sun does to the anemic orcs.
Thank you, a thousand times thank you.
Oh -- that was a tempest? The scales have fallen from my eyes! I thought it was indigestion from swallowing crap -- thank you for the Alka-Seltzer of truth!
Well.dont just stand there.sending thank yous, go out and find a dark skinned person and make your life revolve around their happiness you freakin sinner.
As always a masterclass show should be matched by a masterclass reviewer! Truly an exemplary review my friend.
And I as a master class viewer is eating it up real good
"What does the scanner say about his sarcasm level????"
"Its, its OVER 9000!!!!!"
That was amazing. Extraordinary, quite extraordinary (c, John Watson in 'Sherlock')
At first I thought it was for real and only clicked it to check whether there were indignant people in the comments section. I'm so happy I did.
As a philologist, specialist in literature and lover of good storytelling I salute you!
Finally, a positive review.
😂😂😂 genius comment
A much-needed update on books that nobody cared about anymore, and films that were beloved and revered by nobody. Truly, a step forward for progressissivsm and a step backward for racicism. The world needed this, and Jeff Bezos diligently delivered it to our homes. Thank you, Jeff, may your scalp shine through the years like the eye of Sauron on Barad-dur!
All hail the Dark Lord! All hail Lord Bezos!
@@richardrose2606 Lord Bezos is watching you!
How lucky we are that our glorious overlords-billionaires and their mega corporations care so much about social justice!
Rumour has it Spielberg asked to direct an episode but the producers told him, "only when you've earned it mate"
When Galadriel got on her knees, grabbed a handful of earth, and said “As Eru Iluvatar is my witness, as Iluvatar is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be powerless again. No, nor any of my kinfolk.” I was in tears
@creigcoogan5363
Is this a joke or did she say that? I cannot tell.
@@Weather-more Look up Scarlett O’Hara quote in Gone with the Wind 😉
@@Weather-more I’ll save you the trouble, here it is: “As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again.”
Watching just a single scene of this masterpiece was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
You've changed so much since watching. It's like I don't know you anymore, but somehow it's like I've known you since before time now. I will look up at the light at first light, and not down like the rocks.
Somewhere out there someone is subscribed to your channel who doesn't know what irony or sarcasm is and yet he watched and liked every single one of your videos.
"He"??? How dare you assume their gender. -8 social credit score points for you.
After watching The Hobbit I never thought Tolkien could be done better... then came along Rings of Power. Oh my god how wrong I was. A masterpiece, surely this is the show!!
the Hobbit was quite good
@@frauyodortmund No one appreciated what Jackson endured to make it. It's a masterpiece compared to this trite Amazon dumped on everyone
@@nrg16108 YES THANK YOU!! SOMEBODY ELSE SEES THE TRUTH! Becauae Sauron might as well have written that trash.
Very writing. Such plot. Much dialogue. Masterpiece.
The sarcasm level of this is over 10 thousand!!!! My sarcasm measure just broke
My God thank you for opening my eyes to the truth of this opus magnus of storytelling. Tolkien's original works were just ok, Jackson's trilogy was mildly passable...but this series is what humanity was crying out for!!! The world can never thank Amazon enough!!
They have truly delivered a show of all time. Thank you Lord Bezos.
Might as well bow to Sauron at this point. What trash.....
"The too... long one" It has been a while since I laughed properly out loud at a joke from a video. The delivery was perfect, well done! xD
If evil wasn't born does that mean the Elven children who sunk Galdriels boat in an act of bullying have started to become the future corrupted Orcs, or do the writers think that bullying is actually a good action that helps the victims develop strength and good moral character?
Are you trying to use logic? Hahaha, it's 2022, logic is a thing of the past and science is dead.
🤔... Though I think they would shutter to find they have done that. Character building wasn't a box they wanted checked.
@@Phantom_Zer0 Logic is a tool of the patriarchy. Slay girl! Yasss Queen!
I think you're taking everything literal.
"Hey let's have some mean kids in PARDISE that are magical elves also, throw rocks at galsriels perfect boat. Right? Sound cool?"
That's about all the thought and time that went into that most likely.
This description is far more entertaining than the series itself.
This is what I’ve been trying to tell everyone but no one listens to me. The Rings of Power for me really honestly is the most amazing series to come out of all time.
Maybe I have misjudged it.
I love the part when Galadriel-Two-Times said "I'm gonna go get the Rings of Power, Rings of Power", really funny and awesome writing.
Yer bustin' my balls here!
In a better world you would get a parade for this reference.
Jimmy Two Times
Truly, ROP is a masterclass in heartfelt acting and quality writing, held together with understated and never intrusive score. Simply divine.
The ring would do anything, even throw itself into mount doom to avoid this Galadriel
Quintessential review. I’ve been stunned by the simplistic beauty of narrative free narrative (eg slow motion riding), by the innovative setting destroying setting (eg. every actor with significant different genetic makeup) and creative illogical depiction of logic (eg. Ocean swim)
I loved when Elrond thought to himself, "But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Sister."
and then they refurnished room 101
But at least galadriel is truly and completely perfect, so it's not reeeeally a fair comparison. The good men would never resist strong woman in the first place, just the orc(aucasions) evil type of oppression men would.
Millions were thinking it and someone finally stepped up to tell it like it is. Thank you for your bravery in raising your voice; wisdom in your explanation; and, most importantly, for being insightful enough to recognize the brilliance of this epic modern classic. Few have the courage to come out. You have enlightened the lives of billions. Their ignorance shall now be destroyed, their blind eyes opened. Thank you
@@stephenlaing2152 Don't worry, my brother/otherly pronouned person. Help is on its way. We are recruiting millions to stand by our side and recognize the subtle, nuanced brilliance of this epic masterpiece. The tides are changing. Backup is on its way. You are safe, my brother! (Or otherly pronouned person.) Fear not. Help is coming! Rise up!!!
@@JackCellarer Lol.
This commentary section is full of people that understand and enjoy the beautiful irony. I'm in tears right now🤣🤣🤣🤣
When Galadriel stood up in her stirrups while riding her horse, raised up her arms and yelled, “Queen of the World!” That made my heart swell.
I screamed ecstaticly: "Go, Galadriel!" 🥺💪
Go actual Galadriel! How about Tolkien's Galadriel instead of this faker? You know, Sauron's girl. What this lady is.
rings of power has given me many hours of fun and happiness.... watching sooo many youtube shows pick it apart with delightful and fully deserved enthusiasm has kept me amused for months and i was honestly a bit sad when the series finally finished its carnival of nonsense... to all those channels that made me laugh whilst destroying the mess of this insult to mr tolkeins memory and work i would like to give my sincere thanks and regards/.. great work guys,great work :-)
I was hoping to see some magic rings. But alas, I see now there are more important matters in Middle Earth. Like, "Broken ankle" or "No cut down tree". Thank you, Jeff. Very cool.
4 episodes in and the only time galadriel smiled is the slowmo snipet where she rides a horse...a true woman of power
Everyone knows that only horses can unlock true happiness in strong, independent women.
Even that had to be slowmod, otherwise we’d miss it
Why watch the awful Rings of Power when you can just watch such amazing, wonderfully put together satirical reviews. Please keep this up!
This made me cry Manly tears. I was so wrong and racist for my criticism of the show. Thank you for enlightening me. I am finally awake!
I work for the ROP production team. Thank you for your many and varied complements. So glad you like the direction we took and am sure the audience will agree. Already being touted as a modern classic, we're thrilled with the reviewers' response to sizeable bribes we made. Well, how else do you think this garbage cost 1/4bn?
Lol!
Four more seasons, please!
What you've created surpasses Breaking bad, game of thrones, the wire and the sopranos, it should be regarded as the gold standard. A true 10 out of 10, and you don't get these very often.
Hahaha great touch with the bribery costs 😂😂
It really is a masterpiece. Going to infinity and beyond of absolute d̶o̶g̶s̶... I wept at the beauty of this show. The story stirs my soul into pure bliss, even thinking about it is enough to overcome my sorrow with joy. We'll never see a story of this quality again, and hopefully no one ever will.
Now that review is whats known round my way as a "TEN OUTA TEN MINTER!"....I was laughing so hard I almost shat bed, but was saved by Elgar.
This was amazing…thank you so much for giving my brain the sarcasm and intelligent discourse that I need to restore vital function…this show should come with a medical warning!
If binge-watched this show will in fact cause hospitalizations.
Fantastic! SUPERB! Although you forgot to mention the absolutely logical actions taken by the characters within the storyline, how brilliant are fight scenes, reasonings for their attitudes, their travelings, beeing exactly where they need to be, in the sea or running from orcs in the forest, among every little logical details is set to perfection.
The music at thr beginning and the end of the video is EDGAR ELGAR: NIMROD
THE RINGS OF POWER IS A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE.. True perfection of modern TV series.. Thanks for making this possible Amazon.. Love what you done to Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Trilogy.... Lots Of love 😝🤪😜
Tolkien not only would’ve tipped his hat, he would’ve just given his stories over to them out of sheer respect and humility. He would’ve recognized that Payne and McKay are the superior storytellers. Stunning and brave.
LOL. I've seen some pretty false stuff, but this? Poor Mr. Tolkien is turning in his grave and I turn with him!
@@celeben9463 don’t worry, my comment is pure sarcasm. The show sucks and is an insult to the Professor and his lifetime of work.
@@IUsedToBeAnAdventurerLikeYou OH GOOD you are now my friend.
Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, Trophy, Ribbon, Star on forehead! All the accolades possible! A copy must be sent to congress for posterity! The show is so good it hurts my eyes to even gaze upon it.
My 4K 75 inch screen with surround sound system is not worthy to transmit the glorious images and masterful sound.
@@davidcottrell1308 lol
I love the part when she screams with a stoic face: " WHAT'S IN THE BOX???!!' 10 / 10
And then when Vin Diesel replied "You can't handle the truth!!" I snorted.
@@ccchicken8889 but then she replies " In town you're the law, out here it's me. Don't push it!
Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe"
5/5 best writing ever...
Hyperbolically ironical, delightfully enjoyable.
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought, "This had BETTER be satire." And I was not disappointed.
A guy running a small youtube channel (no offense) can write a subtle monologue yet people with a billion dollars are struggling to dredge a single line from their subconscious?
I guess we know where the true talent lies. Well done king Ar Phamazon...you've somehow tricked us all into turning on Tolkien and taking the path of light, wisdom and transcendence. It doesnt require the deep wells of foresight posessed by Elrond to see that your show will certainly go down in history.
I love extreme sarcasm … well done.
RoP is even greater than you suggest, remember its not just "entertainment", its "Saving lives"
Saving the properly colored lives!
From certain deathhhhhh
it's solving world hunger for christ's sake
This is the first time I’ve ever thought the parody to a show would be a well written serious one LOL
We need more shows like this, to have you continue this journey of this extraordinary show
You can't expect one of the world's biggest corporate monopolies to make art.
I wasn't sure if this was sarcasm or not at first because this sounds exactly like what the people making the rings of power sound like. Well done.
"Bill and Ben, the flowerpot men" - wheezing over here. I have friends who are actually enjoying this horrible show and I don't know whether to apologise or cry.
Simply the best. Honestly, I am only bothered by the fact, that I am 41 and there is not enough time to my life, to rewatch it as many times as would I wish to.
Hello. I was born without the ability to recognize sarcasm. Is this an accurate review? I heard it’s a show about nothing. But I didn’t see Jerry or George anywhere.
Surely, you are THE master of understatement. For the depth of this monumentally important masterpiece shall not be pierced by the mundane light of human intellect no matter how long the species will endure.
After watching the insta-classic "Rings of Power" I knew immediately what I must do. So, I left my wife and children behind to undertake a pilgrimage to the far corners of the Earth and tell those who do not know of its saving grace and storytelling power. No longer will the world suffer from boredom. We have been saved by the holy lamb of cinema.
That moment when Guyladriel told Sauron "I'm an independent woman who don't need no man!" I was crying happy tears, I stood up and clapped.
Best moment in television history.
You have polish sarcasm to absolute perfection, I take my hat off to you, just brilliant.👌
This is absolute gold.
At first, I hated it, but then I realized I was just showing my elitist good story appreciation privilege. I will endeavor to be an ally for juvenile poorly crafted but forcibly diverse storytelling in the future.
This needs to be viral!
Can't wait for Megatron, the real bad baddies to reveal he/him self onto Middle Earth.
How they thought the insane joker smile horse riding scene belonged in the final cut shows how oblivious they really are.
You are the MOST sarcastic reviewer on youtube. God bless you sir. May your channel prosper.
Another tongue-in-cheek review! Love it. Hollywood, take note!
I have seen the light! Now I shall jump in the middle of the ocean and swim for shore.
I was once lost, but now after this video, I am found. Thank you Amazon for all of your work helping fix my ancient mind into the new and glorious light of PC culture.
I need a woke course, had to stop the 4th episode 4 minutes in, my mind Is not ready for this masterpiece
I thought I was watching an episode of Xena from the lighting, camera shots and acting. Not that I would know, just what I imagined it would feel like. That or a soap opera trying to be a fantasy play. I made it 12 minutes just to laugh at it.
I still remember when Guyladriel said to the Snow Troll:" Everything that has a beginning has an end , Neo" before she killed him....I cried so hard...epic!!
Holy sh$t there is a SEQUEL to the MasterPiece of Sarcasm? I hope this one is also a multi milion dollars success video
The sarcasm was so thick I jumped out the window at it's awww
the sarcasm is strong in this one 🤣
