Can you imagine how awesome our favorite franchises would be if they had the same production values but actually competent writers? This should be a golden age of fantasy and sci-fi tv, but instead it’s… this 🙄
Look what Takashi Yamazaki did with Godzilla Minus One with the budget he had. This should look like real life, and I should care about at least one of these god damn characters. To be fair, I'll compare it to a TV show. The Vampire Diaries: I care about each of the main characters to varying degrees. Sam and Bonnie are easily the most sympathetic characters and a couple of my favorite, Elena is the least, but you can at least like her and understand where she is coming from(early on at least). The writing for the show is okay, it's a CW show after all so, you know... what can you do?
At this point I would settle for shitty writers but as long as they love the books, and are fans of Tolkien and respect the lore and stick to canon!! 😂😂
You know its funny, as someone who never read the GOT books, and never saw the show until mid 2023, id seen the trash that ROP was at its start....and decided it was time to watch all of GOT from start to finish. It was very good. I didnt have to wait for each season to be released. Undoubtedly one of the best series ever overall. I struggled to see why everyone was so divided about the show's conclusion....i mean it had to surpass the books and the lore by the end so some of it was just naturally forgivable. Compared to the ass-grinding slog that is rings of power, the GOT finale at least had compelling action and battles, and some pretty tense/dramatic endings written for characters that the audience deeply cared about WELL BEFORE the finale.
@@jwallaby7895 100% True .... I would just precise that not waiting for the conclusion of your favorite show for 8 years makes a bad ending easy to forgive and forget. 8 years of hypes and people waiting and developing love for the characters truly made the bar quite high. And fans creating multiple ending significantly better by themselves with minimal efforts added on the pile. CONGRATS for watching a good show. My fav seasons where 1 to 4. I'm rewatching Battlestar Galactica atm.
they didnt want good and bad orks. They wanted to destroy the lord of the rings ip. Same with the witcher, the acolyte... the producers objetive is money money money, but the writters and showrunners objective is to win a cultural war, and this ips are a weapon to them.
They'd butcher that too. Or warhammer. I couldn't imagine a Amazon warhammer. They'd destroy it so badly the fan base would lose thier minds. It's honestly gonna be hard to do the warhammer universe on screen accurately in Hollywood. Australia would do it better.
@@andrewverrett568and amazon has some really good shows actually , like teacher for example, one butchered show doesn't mean everything is bad tho HBO should've been buying stuff instead of making more game of thrones spin offs no one asked for house of the dragon and they made enough from game of thrones they could have bid for lotr and Warhammer properties but idk what the fuck they are smoking in the studio they'd rather make 5 different got spin offs when the only good part of got and the part everyone wants FAITHFULLY adapted is the song of ice and fire part of it 😂
Now remember I am not a expert writer. I do not have a PH.D. So if there is any mistakes in this version, please tell me. I am not good at writing. In my version of the Hobbit story, Thorin does not go to the dancing pony in Bree, Thorin does not go to the village of Bree. Gandalf does not go to Bree. Gandalf met Thorin at Thorin’s house in which I do not know where it’s located.
You know what's a great metric of just how terrible a show truly is? When even the stans can only muster "don't like it, don't watch it' as a defense. They've completely given up even trying to argue that it's good, just that 'it's not that bad'....
So wait. The “orcs” (read: little weakling bitch boys that the Uruk Hai would stomp into non existence) want a home, and family, and don’t want to go to war (according to Glug) The elves want a home and family, and don’t want to go to war (except for Galdaridont, who’s a blood hungry psychopath) …why don’t they just talk this shit out? Like seriously. They have every reason to, they even can, and they won’t. The writers don’t understand what makes a war, a war. They think it’s just “lots of people fighting, for convoluted reasons we don’t have to fully explain” I want to throw the whole series and Showrunners into Mount Doom
even in the old cartoon: "We dont wanna go to war today- - But the lord of the Lash says nay nay nay. We will march all day all day all day For where there's a whip, there's a way" Tolkein wrote the story after his experience in a war where he knew no side's soldiers wanted to be apart of it, and were fighting for causes they didn't believe in. The orcs (most of them even in early illustrations) were always grinch-belly bitchmade goblins holed up in a cave somewhere, and the urukai & higher orcs were the only ones that were the most warrior-built and resembled anything close to what a Warcraft orc is. In WWI/WWII, alot of soldiers were basically the lower orcs. skrunkly ass children who are barely warriors and need numbers, powerful leadership, something that whips them into motivation, mind altering substances if possible, and technological aide to overwhelm something. To be able to use intimidation and brutality in desperation. in order to get over the fact they themselves are browning their own pants.
I was there that day... the day entertainment of men died.... (flashback) Throw Rings of power into the fire! Throw that corrupted trash show now! Jeff Bezos: .......no
My theory for S3 plot: - Balrog & Durin love relationship - Theo kills Isildur and becomes Neo Isildur, messing up with Aragorns inheritage - white wizard is all wizards combined as he is white and such RGB - Sauron decides to become a wet nose instead of a burning eye
@@petriew2018 Also everyone on this comment thread : no idea that the tolkien estate wouldnt give rights to the Silmarillion so amazon had to fill in the gaps. GG lotr nerds, dont like dont watch.
@@rustyshackleford2757 i know you think that statement made any sense.... but the fact that you believe this is why you're a Rings of Power fan in the first place... Nobody's bringing up Tolkien's lore, the show's just utter trash even on it's own. That fact that it's trying to steal Tolkien's legacy is what turns it from pathetic into insulting, that's about it. The show fails at every level before you even bring the source material into it. So yeah, what point do you think you've made by mentioning that they had to make the stupid shit up because nobody involved has ever read a line of Tolkien? Serious question.
@@lea-anne9133 Especially not creatures they share homes with. Bats go hand in hand with caves, as do Dwarves, and somehow she gets a group of them to come flying down in the direction of the miners just by yelling.......this show just melts my grey matter 🤦
@@Gaiden-Shinji875 and even if they were surprised by the bats, that buys them what, 15 seconds before the shock wears off and the bats fly away again because, um, they're bats and they don't actually eat dwarves or anything? But the show thinks this is enough to force them to withdraw for reinforcements or some nonsense...
Studio Guy: Man, It's gonna be tough getting across that mud that used to be in the bottom of the river. Pitch Guy: Actually, it will be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
6:44 It's even worse in that the context completely destroys the quote: Original context from Fellowship: A) Be careful before you do something irrevocable. B) No one is in a place to execute true, impartial justice, especially judgement and condemnation to death. C) Mercy and Pity are more powerful than they appear. D) Gandalf's foresight could see that Gollum still had some part to play. Because Frodo and Sam were merciful, Gollum got them to Mordor mostly undetected and was then there to unintentionally destroy the Ring. Context in the show: "I need to go save my friends!" "lol, maybe it's none of your business who gets to live and die!"
Ironic that HBO made the White Walkers pure mindless monsters unlike their book counterparts whereas Amazon made Orcs sympathetic and more layered unlike their book counterparts. I hate Hollywood ruining source materials by changing canons.
@@ParkerCS2 Well, I could be mistaken but I always figured the term “white walker” in GOT was just kind of MEANT TO BE a weird in-world “portmanteau” derived from an old English word for an undead monster called a “wight.”
@@jaythomas468 wights are basically resurrected individuals that could be considered zombies. In Game of Thrones’ universe there are three types of wights: the fire wights from the lord of light which are people who’s memories and personalities are restored but they lack a large portion of their souls, the ice wights from The Great Others which are decomposed zombies that despite having their humanity stripped away they still retain a intelligence albeit limited and also are extremely strong and practically living tanks, and the black magic/dark science wights that are basically Frankensteins and although they retain somewhat of their souls and personalities are mostly mindless servants to their masters such as The Mountain and they have enhanced strength and endurance but unlike ice wights aren’t as decomposed and look more human albeit still deformed and rotten.
@@ParkerCS2 Yea, I knew “wight” was like a classic “Old English” term for like a zombie, essentially. I didn’t know that the books that GOT is adapted from specifies THREE SEPARATE TYPES of them, however (haven’t read it-would like to, but if I’m being 100% honest, I genuinely don’t have the attention span to read most novels and books nowadays).
To quote Jonathan Frakes: It’s a total fabrication. His statement on why this show isn’t canon to either the book timeline or Peter Jackson timeline. Same statement can be used to describe everything Disney has done canon wise to Star Wars since 2014.
Writer 1 : They will clap when they see the Balrog Writer 2 : But what if they don't ?? Writer 1 : Let's put Gandalfs name they will surely clap then Writer 2 : Our talent is truly endless
The dutch angles are because the chick playing this Galadriel is very short. It is part of why it is so hard to take her seriously compared to Cate Blanchett Galadriel, who was(apart from some notable exceptions), cool, calm, stoic and quite tall.
I have so many family members and coworkers that somehow believe this show is really good and I’m just so confused like how deluded do you have to be to buy that? Do they have absolutely NO standards? These are intelligent people…? Do they simply not understand the difference? Do they not appreciate the books and movies for what they were? Will anything please them so long as it’s flashy? I’m so concerned 😅
About Isildor's girlfriend. I never noticed how terrible her acting was till you pointed out. Now I have another thing to dislike about this horrible show.
I like that 10 minutes after the dwarfs get the ring, they dig too deep and release the balrock.. so without the ring, they would have dug does 10 ft anyway and released the balrock... so the ring was pointless. it took half of the elder durins life to get corrupted, and dig too deep.. but that is what happens when they compress 1000 years, into the same series
What is this silly corruption idea anyway? Diamond good, gold good, silver good, mythril bad. Bad behavior has to be instantly punished with Balrog. This sounds like a children story and not a good one
Idk, maybe in their FUBAR “head canon” that they use when writing this DRIVEL, Middle-Earth somehow works differently from where the sun rises and sets IRL. Or maybe I’m giving them TOO MUCH CREDIT and they just GENUINELY ARE THAT DUMB. I don’t freakin’ know; that’s one of the WEIRDER OFFENSES this show commits that I can kinda “hand wave away” because it’s not like this show takes place on ACTUAL PLANET EARTH (so Lord knows what TF they were on when they wrote that little zinger).
@@APsychicMonkey The show isn't cancelled... officially it hasn't even started. Amazon and Games Workshop have to mutually agree on a 'creative vision' and so far they can't. Given the political direction Games Workshop has swung lately, I would wager the big holdout is Cavill, actually. I wonder if Amazon would want to go forward without him (probably to ruin).
@@APsychicMonkey Probably Games Workshop saw how much they ruined the lord of the rings series and said no way.... Else we might have a slaanesh victory in 40k if Amazon is going to make warhammer movies and series.
At the pace they're compressing the story, they'll probably hit LOTR's prologue by the end of season three. I'm morbidly interested in how they plan to bumble through another two seasons of this dreck and what they'll smear fudge on next.
Christ... 🙄 this is painful. I'm actually grimacing watching the scenes from this abomination of a show. I honestly feel bad for you, and ANYONE who has sat through this shite (so we don't have to) Many thanks for that 🙏🏻🙏🏻
If they aren't going to make the orks evil at the very least make them hilarious like Warhammer 40K orks. Sympathetic orks is the stupidest shit I have ever heard/seen.
Warhammer orks are just as deadly/serious as much as they are comedic relief. They will butcher city because it's funny and they will have great laughs doing it.
In my version of the Hobbit story, Azog died years ago in the battle of Moria. So Azog will not be in my version of the Hobbit story. Why was Azog in the Hobbit movies?
It's it great how Gandalf found his true name... except that it's not. Gandalf is just how the mortals call him, while the Elves call him Mithrandir and did so before he even made contact with any Human, Dwarf or Hobbit...
You understand that this is only hearsay and not stated by any group of elves? It is like saying he is born Arthur but humans call him Pendragon. No not every human does it nor every human knows him or ever meet him. By the way Gandalf is an Odin copy.
@@TorianTammas It's what Tolkien wrote in his books, including the Silmarillion, which is written as a history book and thus not subject to any unreliable narrator trope. It is established canon, not hearsay. And why even bring up Arthur in this context? Pendragon is his family name, inherited from his father. He was always Arthur Pendragon, no matter where he went. But Gandalf uses different names with different cultures, at no point was he ever Gandalf Mithrandir, son of Hugo Mithrandir or anything like that. Though I was mistaken in one thing: I forgot that he first interacted with the Elves in Valinor, who called him Olórin, even before we went to middle Earth to pick up the list of other names, including Mithrandir and Gandalf.
we played rop by taking a vodka sip everytime. 3 of us took 1 and 1/4 bottle every week by theese rules 1 there is a vision 2 a ring apears (one sip for every ring) 3 any rational being other than an orc, elf, dwarf or human apears (one sip for each one, no grand elf story was devastating) 4 a protagonist kills an orc 5 someone sings +1 vote if we drink if someone says something stupid +2 vote if a character knows something that shouldt know. we called for this by saying that he is watching the series too we had a great time
Season 3 better start out with an orc soldier knocking on the tattered cloth door of an orc dwelling. An orc woman holding a crying bundle pulls back the curtain. "Ma'am, I regret to inform you that your husband Gleck has been killed in battle" "But I havent told him we're expecting our second child!" ~ Rain dramatically starts to pour down as Orc lady consoles her small baby
What always surprises me is how they have a canonic choice right on their nose and choose another one. Gandalf name means " Staff elf" in old Norse, thats why they also call him Tharkun. Since his grand plot is recovering the staff maybe they could have integrated that into his name origin.
Nooo don't encourage them to stop making it, its one of the best parady comedy shows for years, and so much after contents fun from people roasting it lol.
The main benefit to another season is Amazon burning even more of their nearly infinite wealth. However, I'd much rather this stuff to get chased off the air in favor of better, constructive creative works which build up our culture instead of tearing it all down
I watched the trilogy, all extended versions, once before this season dropped, and one since it ended, and goddamn does it make you really despise the creators of the show. And, to be honest, it makes me really despise critics who are giving this piece of garbage high ratings (minus the sound and visuals, those are really good).
Lets' see: Sau-moron sumoned an attack to Eregion to force grandma-brimbor to finish the rings forging witch, by the way, were precisely stopped due to the Eregion's siege, and all this by the imminent risk of the elven forge destruction, witch, again, would make the rings forgering impossible. For God sake... And bimbor, in his absolute stupidity was unable to see this, right? Lets not forget that Adar and the elfs both want to kill Sauron, but the "plot" forces them to slaugth each other while Sau-moron runs free.
Actually, Durin's supposed brother was mentioned in the last episode of season 1, and it is mentioned AGAIN here, at the end of season 2 but he never appears. Not even an angle showing his back, just to tease watchers. That makes it even worse. They are not able to write real relations between characters or even just characters, they are not able to make suspense or tease the audience, they are not able to make plot twists... is there something they can actually do right?
The Much reported on Women directors of Rings of Power showed us with fabulous clarity that women can destroy franchises just as quickly as the men.... Thanks amazon.... Imagine a world where you could brag about having a season directed by ALL MALE DIRECTORS. That would be considered sexist, so how is the reverse not? I really hate this timeline, how about hire people talented enough to do the job without consideration to race, gender, sexual orientation or any other qualifier that doesnt help you make a good show!
11:03 - Every time I see that rock collapsing, I'm reminded of that lyric from the Harry Chapin song: "The rock is going to fall on us! Run, or you'll be crushed!"
"Renounce a crime”? Was no one within the entire production a literate person willing to speak up: “Renounce? No one renounces a crime. Do you mean “repudiate’ by any chance?”
You are correct in noting that one cannot "renounce" a crime. (To "renounce" means to "forego / not use," to "recant," or to "promise to stop adhering to," or to "abandon" something.) So, one could renounce an ideology or other belief system or - in the extended sense - any set of habits or practices. One can, therefore, renounce, e.g., alcohol.) But neither can one "repudiate" a crime. (To "repudiate" means "to disown" or "to refuse to accept.") Back in 2008, when interviewers were asking Obama if he would "denounce" Louis Farrakhan's endorsement of him, that was a misuse of the word - they should instead have asked him to REPUDIATE or REJECT the endorsement.
I agree except for the guy that played celebrimbor. If you look past his lines he has to say his actual acting is great. When he comes out of the spell sauron has him on and he breaks down crying. That's good acting. Period. He was by far the best actor in the whole series and he's gone now. Everyone says the guy playing sauron is a good actor but he's really not. He is the same exact emotion almost the entire time and everything is made to make him the cool guy. Which means he should feel like a good actor because he has the plot to make him look good but instead he just seems. Yeh... okay.
In my version of the Hobbit story, Azog died years ago in the battle of Moria. So Azog will not be in my version of the Hobbit story. Why was Azog in the Hobbit movies?
@@taylorfusher2997 Azog swore to wipe out the Dwarven king bloodline, then faked his death in order to kill Thorin and his cousins. Borg, son of Azog, would have made more sense to be in the timeline, but the writers try to combine the timelines like the creators of the Rings of Power did, leading more than half the fans to give up on the show.
The Battle Of Eregion was such an awesome and well thought-out sequence! I cared sooooo much about all of the characters I had never seen before, and I could really feel how high the stakes were. I believe that the only thing missing that would have made it perfect was Celebrimbor using a shield to skateboard down a flight of stairs, firing arrows all the way down.😑 That song at the end credits was about as inappropriate as you can get in terms of music for the show. Maybe next season it’ll be smooth jazz, or gangsta rap, or country music. I totally hated the episode, and that ending really made me want to vomit. I have really eclectic musical tastes, and I could probably find at least a couple of songs from every genre, not just my favorites, that I could enjoy. So it’s not that I just hate the music, but it’s wildly inappropriate for this show. That being said- maybe it’s actually perfect for this show. If the show was a faithful adaptation of Tolkien’s works, or if it was a well-written original story by the show’s writers that stayed true to the lore and timeline, THEN this song would be inappropriate. But for the most expensive piece of garbage ever made for TV, that loses sight of the true spirit behind all of Middle Earth, makes a mockery of it’s characters, creatures, events, and plot lines, then yes, a death metal song is probably perfect. (And if anyone really couldn’t tell, the first paragraph is said in pure sarcasm)
Please warn me not to listen to you in Rings of Power while I am showering and getting ready in the morning. I just spat toothpaste all over the mirror! Bom Tombadil! 😂😂😂 I'm easily amused.
Everything didnt bother me with this show until the sword part. Anduril was reforged from Narsil the same blade that cut the ring from Saurons hand and the blade that was used to cast a curse on the mountain men that fled when men needed them most That scene was huge because Aragorn finally went away from Ranger and took the mantle of king. The blade scared sauron and offered the ability to even stand a chance in the war by calling upon the army of the dead Idk why this part pisses me off so much lol. Sorry for nerding out 😂
Technically, both are members of the House of Finwe as well as the two ruling houses of the Teleri. Galadriel's first cousin, King Turgon of Gondolin, was Elrond's great-grandfather on his father's side, which would make them first cousins thrice removed. And her maternal grandfather, King Olwe, is brother to King Elwe/Elu Thingol, who is Elrond's maternal great-great-grandfather, which would make them second cousins twice removed on that side of the family as well. They are related, just distantly.
At which point does Elrond (the RoP-Schmock) has decided to dye his hair? Did he remember that in the LotR he has long black hair, before doing that? Will he even let it grow until season 3? Questions over questions, such a glorious tv-show it is.
Lord of the Rings is dead, they killed it. For the rest of your lives, if you've watched any episode in this show, your mind will forever be tainted by the images of it. Every time you reminisce about the original movie trilogy, or the original book, you are going to have images of this mixed in with it. They have manipulated your mind, primed you for acceptance. This show is/was mental warfare. You are being attacked. Recognize it as such. Then defend yourselves.
@@Jamespwickstromw You're lying to yourself. That is unhealthy self-destructive behavior. It is very predictable, and has only two possible endings -end- . Hanging on past time is greed. And thinking you're entitled to it is vanity. Recognize this for what it is. You've already had a couple years to mourn. And remember, if you watched so much as one episode of the series, your mind is already corrupted. The damage has already been done, and there is no reversing it. It is in there, and you do not possess the ability to get it out. For the rest of your natural life, when you remember Lord of the Rings, you're going to have memories of this pop up. You have certainly been attacked. I was attacked as well. Fortunately for me, I saw it coming a mile away, and was able to avoid it. So I am still clean, at least of this particular infection.
Just found a guy called Voxus Productions who is pretty damn good also. I totally agree on all of those except nerdrotic. I tried him a couple times and it just didn't click for me. Despot is my man.
I'm impressed with your ability to produce a snappy video with so many fitting clips, but please just tell me were you got that with the guy who jumps off a ship and gets caught by the jaws of a great white shark. Pretty please! 😉
Writers: Galadriel falls from a cliff 50 meters tall straight to the ground Jeff Bezos: Wow it's going to be hard for her to survive that Writers: Actually it's gonna be super easy barely an inconvenience
Wrong! This MASTERPIECE will be discussed for CENTURIES to come, but that trash source material is basically already forgotten. These writers fixed Tolkien's incoherent scribblings, creating a modern story for the modern audience, which will be as relentless as the Northern Star. JRR who? Bezos is the name to know for all time.
besides the youtube essayists ripping it apart, nobody will remember it a month from now seriously, when was the last time you heard a normie talking about season 1?
21:00 The shards of Narsil are interacted with during Fellowship in Rivendell. ( th-cam.com/video/B1uGDjSVLOk/w-d-xo.html ) The significance of Narsil (and therefore Anduril) is built up heavily. It isn't just a sword, Aragorn treats it with the kind of respect or solemnity you'd see for a holy relic; he does not believe he is worthy. So not only is it a turning point for Aragorn and Elrond, the sword itself has been given a large degree of significance and is returning along with its king.
Funny enough, Aragorn gets Andúril in The Fellowship book unlike the movies where he gets it in Return of the King. I like the build up. I didn't remember how much the movies differiate from the books. I've read them once about 11 years ago.
I started Madam Web the other night and you just reminded me that I left it on pause in the first 15 mins and that was last week :D Will have to bring myself to complete watching it. I completely forgot about it :D
This show is a travesty can an insult to anyone who calls himself a Tolkien fan. And yes I said himself. Historically chicks just weren't that into Lord of the rings... So we didn't have to care that there were no girl bosses.
"Nope, being compared to Disney is not a compliment, because how are they doing right now?" - The Movie Cynic ... *Disney are doing great!* The two movies they've released so far in 2024 are, by far, the two biggests of the year. I don't know in which universe two productions almost grossing $3 billion together is bad... I just know it's not ours! I'm fully expecting Moana 2 to also be money, and, even though *I truly hope it bombs hard...* people are going to go see _Mufasa_ - those worthless live-action remakes always manage to at least break even. Because people are stupid. Still, don't let folks like Cynic's bias against the Mouse blind you from the truth: regardless of everything else going on with their empire, their films division is rolling right now. It may change in 2025, but, for this year: the biggest studio in the world.

The elves want a home and family, and don’t want to go to war (except for Galdaridont, who’s a blood hungry psychopath)
…why don’t they just talk this shit out? Like seriously. They have every reason to, they even can, and they won’t. The writers don’t understand what makes a war, a war. They think it’s just “lots of people fighting, for convoluted reasons we don’t have to fully explain”
I want to throw the whole series and Showrunners into Mount Doom
The orcs are opressed minorities 😂😂😂
Galadridont had me ROLLING!
even in the old cartoon:
"We dont wanna go to war today-
- But the lord of the Lash says nay nay nay. We will march all day all day all day
For where there's a whip, there's a way"
Tolkein wrote the story after his experience in a war where he knew no side's soldiers wanted to be apart of it, and were fighting for causes they didn't believe in.
The orcs (most of them even in early illustrations) were always grinch-belly bitchmade goblins holed up in a cave somewhere, and the urukai & higher orcs were the only ones that were the most warrior-built and resembled anything close to what a Warcraft orc is.
In WWI/WWII, alot of soldiers were basically the lower orcs. skrunkly ass children who are barely warriors and need numbers, powerful leadership, something that whips them into motivation, mind altering substances if possible, and technological aide to overwhelm something. To be able to use intimidation and brutality in desperation. in order to get over the fact they themselves are browning their own pants.
We really are in the worst timeline.
I was there that day... the day entertainment of men died....

Nobody's bringing up Tolkien's lore, the show's just utter trash even on it's own. That fact that it's trying to steal Tolkien's legacy is what turns it from pathetic into insulting, that's about it. The show fails at every level before you even bring the source material into it.

Ironic that HBO made the White Walkers pure mindless monsters unlike their book counterparts whereas Amazon made Orcs sympathetic and more layered unlike their book counterparts. I hate Hollywood ruining source materials by changing canons.
Probably because of their name
@@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881 yeah “white” walkers 🤣 that actually makes sense why didn’t I think that?! Lol
@@ParkerCS2
Well, I could be mistaken but I always figured the term “white walker” in GOT was just kind of MEANT TO BE a weird in-world “portmanteau” derived from an old English word for an undead monster called a “wight.”
@@jaythomas468 wights are basically resurrected individuals that could be considered zombies. In Game of Thrones’ universe there are three types of wights: the fire wights from the lord of light which are people who’s memories and personalities are restored but they lack a large portion of their souls, the ice wights from The Great Others which are decomposed zombies that despite having their humanity stripped away they still retain a intelligence albeit limited and also are extremely strong and practically living tanks, and the black magic/dark science wights that are basically Frankensteins and although they retain somewhat of their souls and personalities are mostly mindless servants to their masters such as The Mountain and they have enhanced strength and endurance but unlike ice wights aren’t as decomposed and look more human albeit still deformed and rotten.
@@ParkerCS2
Yea, I knew “wight” was like a classic “Old English” term for like a zombie, essentially.
I didn’t know that the books that GOT is adapted from specifies THREE SEPARATE TYPES of them, however (haven’t read it-would like to, but if I’m being 100% honest, I genuinely don’t have the attention span to read most novels and books nowadays).
To quote Jonathan Frakes: It’s a total fabrication.
His statement on why this show isn’t canon to either the book timeline or Peter Jackson timeline. Same statement can be used to describe everything Disney has done canon wise to Star Wars since 2014.
Or the Warhammer Fantasy retcons after GW threw Rick Priestly out of his own setting. ET/AoS are utter crap, lore wrecking.
The camera angles of the battle, generally low, made it obvious that they only had 40 extras and didn't feel like hitting the 'ctrl + p' keys.

Writer 2 : But what if they don't ??

You just know they were all high fiving by humanizing Orcs, even throwing in a baby Orcling? 😂
And then they all took turns tongue-punching each other’s fart-boxes in jubilation.
The dutch angles are because the chick playing this Galadriel is very short.
It is part of why it is so hard to take her seriously compared to Cate Blanchett Galadriel, who was(apart from some notable exceptions), cool, calm, stoic and quite tall.
And attractive, Blanchet was attractive.
Clark really does not sell 'ethereal, immortal being' at all, even if she were tall.
Blanchett has more talent in her left pinky than Morfydd has in her entire body.
agreed, it would make a short woman fighting and beating down orks look even more comical.
Jack Black should have been tom bombodil. that would have added to the unintentional humor.
The entire world knew it was Gandalf and that halbramd was Sauron but the show was late 😂
I have so many family members and coworkers that somehow believe this show is really good and I’m just so confused like how deluded do you have to be to buy that? Do they have absolutely NO standards? These are intelligent people…? Do they simply not understand the difference? Do they not appreciate the books and movies for what they were? Will anything please them so long as it’s flashy? I’m so concerned 😅
Time to take them out back for a stroll in the woods like Old Yeller.
" Rings of Power, through both seasons, was the best cinematic works I have ever experienced!" ~ Hellen Keller
About Isildor's girlfriend. I never noticed how terrible her acting was till you pointed out. Now I have another thing to dislike about this horrible show.
isildon't
I like that 10 minutes after the dwarfs get the ring, they dig too deep and release the balrock.. so without the ring, they would have dug does 10 ft anyway and released the balrock... so the ring was pointless. it took half of the elder durins life to get corrupted, and dig too deep.. but that is what happens when they compress 1000 years, into the same series
What is this silly corruption idea anyway? Diamond good, gold good, silver good, mythril bad. Bad behavior has to be instantly punished with Balrog. This sounds like a children story and not a good one
Whats even funnier is that the dwarves dont dig for mithril up until like 2000 years later into 3rd age :)
18:94 they kind of forget than the SUN rises by the east not the north

Idk, maybe in their FUBAR “head canon” that they use when writing this DRIVEL, Middle-Earth somehow works differently from where the sun rises and sets IRL.
Or maybe I’m giving them TOO MUCH CREDIT and they just GENUINELY ARE THAT DUMB.
I don’t freakin’ know; that’s one of the WEIRDER OFFENSES this show commits that I can kinda “hand wave away” because it’s not like this show takes place on ACTUAL PLANET EARTH (so Lord knows what TF they were on when they wrote that little zinger).
I still can't get over how gaudy those rings are.
I don’t trust Spider Noir, Warhammer 40K, and Voltron from Amazon. They’re gonna ruin those most likely.

Oh, by golly, I hope so.
@@APsychicMonkey No matter what the forces of Chaos do to disrupt and destroy Mankind, we will endure. The Emperor protects.
@@APsychicMonkey The show isn't cancelled... officially it hasn't even started. Amazon and Games Workshop have to mutually agree on a 'creative vision' and so far they can't.

@@APsychicMonkey Probably Games Workshop saw how much they ruined the lord of the rings series and said no way.... Else we might have a slaanesh victory in 40k if Amazon is going to make warhammer movies and series.

It's it great how Gandalf found his true name... except that it's not. Gandalf is just how the mortals call him, while the Elves call him Mithrandir and did so before he even made contact with any Human, Dwarf or Hobbit...
You understand that this is only hearsay and not stated by any group of elves? It is like saying he is born Arthur but humans call him Pendragon. No not every human does it nor every human knows him or ever meet him. By the way Gandalf is an Odin copy.
@@TorianTammas It's what Tolkien wrote in his books, including the Silmarillion, which is written as a history book and thus not subject to any unreliable narrator trope. It is established canon, not hearsay.
And why even bring up Arthur in this context? Pendragon is his family name, inherited from his father. He was always Arthur Pendragon, no matter where he went. But Gandalf uses different names with different cultures, at no point was he ever Gandalf Mithrandir, son of Hugo Mithrandir or anything like that.
Though I was mistaken in one thing: I forgot that he first interacted with the Elves in Valinor, who called him Olórin, even before we went to middle Earth to pick up the list of other names, including Mithrandir and Gandalf.

Season 3 better start out with an orc soldier knocking on the tattered cloth door of an orc dwelling. An orc woman holding a crying bundle pulls back the curtain. "Ma'am, I regret to inform you that your husband Gleck has been killed in battle"
"But I havent told him we're expecting our second child!" ~ Rain dramatically starts to pour down as Orc lady consoles her small baby
What always surprises me is how they have a canonic choice right on their nose and choose another one. Gandalf name means " Staff elf" in old Norse, thats why they also call him Tharkun. Since his grand plot is recovering the staff maybe they could have integrated that into his name origin.
Nooo don't encourage them to stop making it, its one of the best parady comedy shows for years, and so much after contents fun from people roasting it lol.
Exactly, I have never seen any of these shows but I have spent many great hours watching people bash them.
Let the bonfires of billions of dollars roar as we feast and drink together, laughing at the stupidity!!
The main benefit to another season is Amazon burning even more of their nearly infinite wealth. However, I'd much rather this stuff to get chased off the air in favor of better, constructive creative works which build up our culture instead of tearing it all down
I watched the trilogy, all extended versions, once before this season dropped, and one since it ended, and goddamn does it make you really despise the creators of the show. And, to be honest, it makes me really despise critics who are giving this piece of garbage high ratings (minus the sound and visuals, those are really good).
I can't wait for Season 3 to be announced, accompanied by the cries of a thousand Amazon accountants' souls leaving their bodies.
For real, what’s the point of the One Ring if the other rings serve the same purpose?
Lets' see: Sau-moron sumoned an attack to Eregion to force grandma-brimbor to finish the rings forging witch, by the way, were precisely stopped due to the Eregion's siege, and all this by the imminent risk of the elven forge destruction, witch, again, would make the rings forgering impossible. For God sake... And bimbor, in his absolute stupidity was unable to see this, right? Lets not forget that Adar and the elfs both want to kill Sauron, but the "plot" forces them to slaugth each other while Sau-moron runs free.
Actually, Durin's supposed brother was mentioned in the last episode of season 1, and it is mentioned AGAIN here, at the end of season 2 but he never appears. Not even an angle showing his back, just to tease watchers. That makes it even worse. They are not able to write real relations between characters or even just characters, they are not able to make suspense or tease the audience, they are not able to make plot twists... is there something they can actually do right?

"Renounce a crime”? Was no one within the entire production a literate person willing to speak up: “Renounce? No one renounces a crime. Do you mean “repudiate’ by any chance?”
You are correct in noting that one cannot "renounce" a crime. (To "renounce" means to "forego / not use," to "recant," or to "promise to stop adhering to," or to "abandon" something.) So, one could renounce an ideology or other belief system or - in the extended sense - any set of habits or practices. One can, therefore, renounce, e.g., alcohol.) But neither can one "repudiate" a crime. (To "repudiate" means "to disown" or "to refuse to accept.") Back in 2008, when interviewers were asking Obama if he would "denounce" Louis Farrakhan's endorsement of him, that was a misuse of the word - they should instead have asked him to REPUDIATE or REJECT the endorsement.
I see more videos about the show than the show 😂
I have only seen clips on YT, I have no reason to pay Amazon to waste my time on trash.
No one wants to say this, but the actors on ROP are not good.
I remember Nerdrotic Gary say that. I might be wrong tho.
I agree except for the guy that played celebrimbor. If you look past his lines he has to say his actual acting is great. When he comes out of the spell sauron has him on and he breaks down crying. That's good acting. Period. He was by far the best actor in the whole series and he's gone now. Everyone says the guy playing sauron is a good actor but he's really not. He is the same exact emotion almost the entire time and everything is made to make him the cool guy. Which means he should feel like a good actor because he has the plot to make him look good but instead he just seems. Yeh... okay.
Elrond married Galadriel’s daughter, so him kissing his mother in law is gross

The Battle Of Eregion was such an awesome and well thought-out sequence! I cared sooooo much about all of the characters I had never seen before, and I could really feel how high the stakes were. I believe that the only thing missing that would have made it perfect was Celebrimbor using a shield to skateboard down a flight of stairs, firing arrows all the way down.😑
That song at the end credits was about as inappropriate as you can get in terms of music for the show. Maybe next season it’ll be smooth jazz, or gangsta rap, or country music. I totally hated the episode, and that ending really made me want to vomit. I have really eclectic musical tastes, and I could probably find at least a couple of songs from every genre, not just my favorites, that I could enjoy. So it’s not that I just hate the music, but it’s wildly inappropriate for this show.
That being said- maybe it’s actually perfect for this show. If the show was a faithful adaptation of Tolkien’s works, or if it was a well-written original story by the show’s writers that stayed true to the lore and timeline, THEN this song would be inappropriate. But for the most expensive piece of garbage ever made for TV, that loses sight of the true spirit behind all of Middle Earth, makes a mockery of it’s characters, creatures, events, and plot lines, then yes, a death metal song is probably perfect.
(And if anyone really couldn’t tell, the first paragraph is said in pure sarcasm)

Everything didnt bother me with this show until the sword part.
Anduril was reforged from Narsil the same blade that cut the ring from Saurons hand and the blade that was used to cast a curse on the mountain men that fled when men needed them most
That scene was huge because Aragorn finally went away from Ranger and took the mantle of king. The blade scared sauron and offered the ability to even stand a chance in the war by calling upon the army of the dead
Idk why this part pisses me off so much lol. Sorry for nerding out 😂
Elrond and Galadriel arent related. He does marry her daughter at some point, though, which makes this "romance" between the two very awkward.
Technically, both are members of the House of Finwe as well as the two ruling houses of the Teleri. Galadriel's first cousin, King Turgon of Gondolin, was Elrond's great-grandfather on his father's side, which would make them first cousins thrice removed. And her maternal grandfather, King Olwe, is brother to King Elwe/Elu Thingol, who is Elrond's maternal great-great-grandfather, which would make them second cousins twice removed on that side of the family as well. They are related, just distantly.
At which point does Elrond (the RoP-Schmock) has decided to dye his hair? Did he remember that in the LotR he has long black hair, before doing that? Will he even let it grow until season 3? Questions over questions, such a glorious tv-show it is.

Lord of the Rings is dead, they killed it. For the rest of your lives, if you've watched any episode in this show, your mind will forever be tainted by the images of it. Every time you reminisce about the original movie trilogy, or the original book, you are going to have images of this mixed in with it. They have manipulated your mind, primed you for acceptance. This show is/was mental warfare.

21:00 The shards of Narsil are interacted with during Fellowship in Rivendell. ( th-cam.com/video/B1uGDjSVLOk/w-d-xo.html ) The significance of Narsil (and therefore Anduril) is built up heavily. It isn't just a sword, Aragorn treats it with the kind of respect or solemnity you'd see for a holy relic; he does not believe he is worthy. So not only is it a turning point for Aragorn and Elrond, the sword itself has been given a large degree of significance and is returning along with its king.
Funny enough, Aragorn gets Andúril in The Fellowship book unlike the movies where he gets it in Return of the King. I like the build up. I didn't remember how much the movies differiate from the books. I've read them once about 11 years ago.

I don't know in which universe two productions almost grossing $3 billion together is bad... I just know it's not ours!
I'm fully expecting Moana 2 to also be money, and, even though *I truly hope it bombs hard...* people are going to go see _Mufasa_ - those worthless live-action remakes always manage to at least break even. Because people are stupid.
Still, don't let folks like Cynic's bias against the Mouse blind you from the truth: regardless of everything else going on with their empire, their films division is rolling right now. It may change in 2025, but, for this year: the biggest studio in the world.
