- Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is due to release in September on Amazon Prime Video, as the date approaches the marketing by cast and crew hits new depths. LOTR: The Rings of Power is set in the 2nd age and with no access to the Silmarillion a lot of history and characters is being made up by the showrunners JD Payne and Patrick Mckay. As they deny a separation from J R.R Tolkien, Galadriel decides to take it out on the fans.

I wasn't expecting Rings of Power to go full Disney Star Wars but here we are. JD Payne and McKay start talking about their feelings despite them contradicting reality, and Galadriel starts her warrior arc story with the fans being her first target. As we close on release it seems that they've already starting spiraling. And just as I was getting to publish, a TONNE more content dropped with Time magazine coming out with 3 articles on the same day with new covers and CW like photos. Lots to come! But what did you think of the showrunners comments and Clarks Instagram attack? Let me know your thoughts about this down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
You never go full disney
That's where you're wrong this brew of course they would go full Disney Star Wars they did it in one of their trailers And have been copying Strategy for strategy from Lucas films playbook. Book of boboth that was the 1st warning after the sequel trilogy And culminated in ,,,"Kenobi
All I can say to Clark is the feeling is mutual, shut the F up and get off the internet.
Fauk Amazon. Fauk Hollywood. And their Bullshiiit politics and crap. Men don’t want WNBA fantasy shows.
Honestly, I was expecting this sooner.
Fake Galadriel - 'You have not seen what I have seen'
Actual Fans - 'You have not read what we have read'
The BURN! Love ❤
Best comment so far 🤣🤣🤣!
Bravo
This needs to be pinned!
@@zxyatiywariii8 Agreed. Sick Burn!
This isn’t “the book Tolkien couldn’t write.” It’s the book he wouldn’t write.
The book that he never wanted to write.
the book he would've refused to write even under penalty of death
@@robhaskins I'd guess that's why they were just references or something.
Tolkien literally said this work was inspired by the mythology of UK and Northern Europe, and was specifically meant to be _for those people._ Moreover modern wokeness was absolutely *not* his ideology. That doesn't mean people of other race and heritage can't enjoy it (they do), but it does mean that if you intended to not just change everything about it but make it into a goddam political statement the author didn't believe in... Then go create your own thing instead of trashing an established IP and then having the bloody gall to literally insult and denounce the fans when they don't like all your changes.
This is a generic version of Game of Thrones wearing a LOTR suit and spewing leftist crap. It's trash. Hard. Fucking. Pass.
@@J.DeLaPoer
One Brian Johnson said :
" Be ready my brothers, the pilum and arrow of ist and phobe are about to come our way, but be not afraid of it let our deeds of yesterday shine the light of truth that all are welcome to enjoy. So bring your shield of shining truth so when they let lose with the missiles of false truth you can cast a light upon them and burn the lies mid flight and show the world 1% is not the majority. "
And I just answered him, inspired by his words that way :
Even if we fail in long term becouse they are actualy stronger with big money and propaganda tools and we have only the truth of OLD books and our honor to spend in protection of this literature - this Ark of Culture !
Let it be remembered that fandoms of fantasy never bowed downed never bend the knee before Amazon's travesty ! :)
And I believe that we all, Tolkien fans and other fandoms can belive now - between all recent crimes and crisises around us which are manufactured to divide us - that there is ONE precious thing yet to be united for
- the Western culture's Castle !
invaded by false ideologies and deconstruction of classics !
And if this is the hour of trial of last particles of popculture? What are these last particles you ask? IMO these are last particles yet rooted deep in Europeans mythologies and literatures.
Such as many works of escapism art. Such as Tolkien.
The western popculture is not only a postmodern TV show or transient politics !
This is our White Tree
with roots safely grounded in wells of our ancient ancestry !
Our Slavic, Celtic and Germanic ancestry from boreal forests of the North !
The oaks and birches of the North ! Their smell is for me the smell of Freedom.
And " the North remembers ! "
This vision of Freedom and believe in Free Will awaits you in the old sources of our languages and myths and religions. Some of these sources I read becouse I wanted to know the sources of Tolkien.
Thats why they try to take our cultures.
To uproot us all.
And esp they try to take our escapism art. Becouse escapism art is on the other extreme of spectrum of art from propagandists art.
Becouse escapism TELLS of freedom !
And they fear this immensely. They fear our White Tree which grows up from 5 000 years
of sedimentations of tribes, nations, of languages and inventions, of art and architecture and dreams !
This is Europe.
Listen Tolkien fans !
Listen archeologists ! Listen reconstructions groups ! Listen Celtic clans ! Listen Germanophiles ! Listen vikings and linguists and pagans and folksingers ! Listen my Slavic brethren !
" You must listen ! "
They dont want only to make their slimy politics with the use of our culture - they want
US to be uprooted without languages, books, poetries, philosophies and art, without our myths and fairytales, without these stories which gave us our native feel of
sacred Triad :
Beauty ! (Nature/Fertility/Family),
Honor ! (Warrior/Protector/King)
Wisdom ! (Logos/Vision/Mind).
This tripartite virtues. This Indoeuropean Triad of values. And triad of heroes. The same heroes Tolkien described in his books. The same heroes Jackson showed in his movie. Gandalf, Aragorn and Frodo. The Indoeuropean Triad of heroes ! IMO there is this strange order in the depictions of Jackson’s heroes. The main triad is Gandalf, Aragorn and Frodo. The hero of wisdom in his old age, the priest, the warrior-king in his middle age, and the Innocent „third brother” from fairytales in younger age-only a farmer/gardener.
These psychopatic tyrants want us to be only gray mass clothed in grey - a mass of brains conditioned only by modern politics and technocrats. This political deconstruction of Middle-Earth is only their first attack, its their armed reconnaissance. They want to know if they can move again and again and again.
But to all fantasy fandoms still faithful to the cathegory of truth I proclaim NOW that
" The line must be drawn there ! "
I was educated in history of law and forensics. I was educated to be able to work on historical sources. Literature IS also a historical source ( novels, epic poems, myths and legends ). Not some tool to use however you want it to use. Literature tells about the times of its creation so its part of cultural sedimentations.
Its the source of YOUR language and of YOUR ancestors values.
Literature is like a signpost.
It is not the job of signposts to be moved around wherever "an actual thing" would like them to be moved, the singposts are here to stand at their places !
To sign the WAY.
As Homer, as Bible, as Stonehenge, as cathedrals, as Graal. As Tolkien.
I see how they do it year by year.
The trivialisations and mockery and modernisations of classic works. In recent months I thought about every Arthurian movie I've ever watched and I found how they do it with trivialisation of adaptations of Arthurian legends. Since the 70s the theme of Graal diminishes and vanishes from movies adaptations, there is only theme of fight for throne and love triangle. The most spiritual theme of Arthurian legend is gone form adaptations.
They do it in hope that we will soon forget becouse we are not learning from old books but from apps and such, and that we soon wont care becouse we are schooled to be caring only for private troubles and to think only ABOUT present moment - be in the moment, spent the moment, enjoy the moment, and soon we forgo all sediments of the Western culture.
All great works of the West will soon be postmodernised, used for indocrination, sexualised, ridiculed, smeared, censored and then erased as nothing of value.
Treated without HONOR, treated like TRASH.
One of Polish critics of literature wrote in recent book of essays that
Tolkien is an Ark of Culture.
He was right. I see now that Tolkien is an Ark of Culture - one of the particles of 5000 years of YOUR history not yet taken by this Borg from political space
- so protect him !
If this is the hour of fandoms - whom I can see now as one of the last groups of bookish people - people always devoted to art and to free debate - to stand and show their believe that Tolkien is an Ark of Culture to be honored as any great relict of art
then I would say to whoever want to listen - friend or foe - that we all should unite under this
Dead Man's banners !
Who wants to be a Guardian of the Ark with me? :)
Becouse we fandoms can be like the triad itself - the mind, the will and the heart - the protectors of the Earth.
- Tolkien fandom stands alone.
- Not alone. Fandoms!
- To the king!
And when Galadriel joyfully says "I bypassed the compressor", that gave me goosebumps.
I like that scene were she pops out of thin air and destroys that giant Ork spaceship actually a lot more.
What the actual f*** ? Hahahaha
Actually she said "I need more power now Scotty!"
It's a good thing she managed to get her hands on those Flux Capacitors, otherwise the Black Númenoreans would have never been pushed back into their dimension.
They, not we, made a thing out of this. There was always incredible diversity in the Tolkien readership, and isn't that amazing? A devout Catholic university professor created an imaginary world that inspired people of all nationalities, religions, races and political persuasions. There's way too much rage, hate and allegation flying around at the moment and it is not becoming. So here is Tolkien's description of Bilbo, to my mind the most Tolkienian line the good professor ever wrote: 'He was a kindly little soul.' If I merited that on my tombstone, I'd go to my grave a happy man.
Tolkien really was a genius and a humble man, a very very rare combination.
@@The_Reality_Filter LOtR was at least partially his try to cope with the horrors of trench warfare he had to experience in WW1. I guess such experiences do make humble if they don't break you. On the opposite, the only horrors those people had to endure was someone not using their made-up pronouns.
@@Furzkampfbomber Oh absolutely and if I remember correctly he wrote some of The Silmarillion while in the trenches. Luckily, we can only imagine the horrors of trench combat that he had to endure...I often wondered if Saruman was a representation of the Austrian painter...
@@Furzkampfbomber He wrote the books mainly for his son who was fighting in the war i'd say to take him away from those horrors he was actually facing too. This is nothing short of a total insult to Tolkien for someone to be allowed to tarnish his name and legacy in this manner.
they are making it about race, so that they can divide the fanbase. the american media have been doing this for at least 40 years and its very effective. go watch any american film from the 70s. there are plenty of black actors in them, often having big roles, and no one comments on them being black, besides the occasional scene where the black person runs into some racist idiot and beats them up. then they realized that if the population wasnt divided by race, then people would start focusing on the class struggle, and they obviously couldnt have that. they might have to start paying taxes. i shudder to think of it.
This actor is not Galadriel. Galadriel is tall, fair, restrained power who shines with the Light of the trees. She speaks quietly yet with force. She emanates her internal force. She eloquently elucidates with a voice like a song. This show is trying to make her a base human with no agency. They have failed to identify who Galadriel is and why she is so beloved and powerful.
Hey, Elves are not human. There is no actress who has attributes exactly like Elves. She looks good. Elves, dwarves, orcs are not human.
To add to my thoughts of this, they seem to want to portray Galadriel as an immature woman not as a several millenia old being of inconceivable knowledge and power. If they wanted to bring this to 'real world' terms as they repeatedly stated, it would equate to having a Queen who was alive when Gobleki Tepe and Gobleki Karan were active religious sites who is still alive now. Are they insinuating that in the thousands of years of Galadriels life ahe has been an idiot and not learned anything or grown. Are they claiming, maybe, she had a brain injury which is why she is so callous in her speech and inept in her conversations. Or is it just the show runners are inept and have not read or comprehended the works of Tolkien. They can only see their own limitations and beliefs it to be substantial enough to rival the Professor.
She's supposed to be Galadriel, not Guy-ladriel!
@@jimmynaylor1759 Because of Peter Jackson's great adaptation- some people are thinking Elves must look like European people. Nope.
@@deborahwood7089 She is not even a shade of what Galadriel is supposed to be. The lack of comprehension I her character by this supposed actor and the writers shows how much of a failure this show is going to be.
"We're writing the story Tolkien never could."
Me: "You mean the story he never would."
Exactly!
No, the story he never could. Because first he would have had to lobotomise himself to drag himself down to the appropriate level (and it would still probably be better than this).
as a long term Tolkien fan I am getting ready to vote this garbage 1 on IMBD and we should all do the same, this insult by Prime to the LOTR community should be punished.
If it's horrible I will definitely leave a bad review on both Amazon and IMDb
I am so proud of Tolkien fans. They have brought the heat from day one and it has been a beautiful sight to see.
Doesn't matter what the Tolkien fans think, the Resident Evil fans complained about that awful New RE TV series and it's at Number 4 slot of most popular watched series beating other popular shows - and it's defo not the fans putting it there it's the non fans the general public.
@@Mark-nh2hs Resident Evil isn't LotR. Resident Evil is nothing compared to LotR, and RE fans can't reach the fanaticism of the fans of the third most bought book in the world. We'll fkin sink them even if it means we take them down with us
@@Johnny12575 we shall see when it's released and see what happens - will be interesting
Thank you for pointing that out, Elliot. You're a good cat.
@@Johnny12575 I've cancelled everything Amazon after this travesty. They have the audacity to label ME names, when I only ever voiced concern, but would still take my money!!! This show can burn in hell for all I care.
I'll accept the "diverse" cast if Brad Pitt can play the next Black Panther
I'd like to see "the color purple" redone with Asian actors. 😉
What if they made the movie white chicks but called it black chicks and used white dudes in black face acting out all the stereotypes 🤣🤣
No way man. I want Tom Hanks as the next black panther.
All Asian cast of black Panthers will be exceptional.
Zac Efron as Malcolm X
My favourite moment of the trailer is when Galadriel says "You have not seen what I have seen!" but Dutch reassures her, "If it bleeds we can kill it."
I like how he turned to Elrond and said "You are one ugly motherfucker.".
@@CordeliaWagner I almost cried...
Galadriel has seen thing you people wouldn´t believe!! Attack ships on fire, off the shoulder of Ori... oh... wrong film. Time... to die.
@@Biden_is_demented you mean attack ships on fire off the shoulder of King’s Landing - because we’ve definitely seen that in the trailer lol
Fortunately Dutch has been re-cast as an androgynous person of color.
I couldn't agree more. The showrunners can talk about their "feelings" until they're blue in the face, but that doesn't change the fact that Tolkien's whole purpose in writing his stories was to create a legendarium for England, peopled with characters who looked English. The only exception in Tolkien's works were the Haradrim, from a land far to the south of Middle Earth. If Amazon wants to write stories using a diversity checklist, that's fine; just don't call it Tolkien, because it isn't. The problem is that the greedy wretches at Amazon want to take advantage of the existing Tolkien fanbase, thinking that they'll make a killing. They failed. Now, Amazon has a giant turkey on their hands, and it's starting to peck them to death. Time to get the popcorn.
Problem is they want to destroy our culture. They specifically say so themselves.
England is STILL only 3% black, btw
@@johnstrawb3521 your point?
My favourite part of the show is where Galadriel says “it’s your kids, Marty, somethings got to be done about your kids”
I wonder why specifically Back in Time to meme but alright.
We rooted the show deeply in Tolkien by slapping the name of his flagship work on it. That's totally not a superficial change.
Yeah, they could have called it The Appndix B: Tale of Years, which would be accurate to what they have rights to. Unfortunately it would be entirely inaccurate for what is actually in the show.
@@FasterThanJesus „Tale of Years“ seems to be a perfectly fitting title for the show though, as the rings of power are allegedly completely missing from the first season.
It's ironic how they show their own bigotry in their response to how trash and superficial this is with attacks to Tolkien fans lol.
Aussie here just wanted to add, that the team at Rings of our lives are using the Aussie meaning of rooted "fucked"
This is a generic, diversity-cast version of Game of Thrones wearing a LOTR suit and spewing leftist crap. It's trash, and it's _not_ Tolkien. Hard. Fucking. Pass.
Did attacking fans ever worked for something? EVER?
This show is doomed. GOOD.
"It began with the forging of the great films, three were gifted to the fans, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings.
Three more to the consumers, stuck in their caves.
And eight, eight episodes were gifted to the woke, who above all else, desire politics."
"But they were all of them deceived, for another story would be told.
In the land of Amazon, in the voids of the fulfillment centers, the Dark Lord Bezos crafted in secret a new narrative, to control all others, and into this narrative, he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life..."
"One by one, the free peoples of Earth fell for the power of the narrative.
But there were some who resisted.
A last alliance between bookfans and moviefans marched against the armies of Amazon, and on the very slopes of the internet, they fought for the lore accuracy of Middle-Earth."
okay i read all this in galadriel's voice and that was amazing hahaha damn good comment man. also sadly true.
Best comment!
"I bid you stand, Fans of Middle-Earth!"
This comment is criminally underrated
Bravo sir
Imagine any of the cast of the Peter Jackson movies attacking the fan's, say's all you need to know about Ring's of Power and the Cast and Crew of that show.
The worst thing the actress has ever "seen" is the Starbuck's barista getting her order wrong.
She probably demanded that barista be fired and die of starvation.
"Sorry, Ma'am, we can't give you triple whipped cream on your white mocha with extra chocolate."
That's probably true, because even as an actress, she can't dredge up any emotion to use in that scene.
To be fair, she's probably seen Rings Of Power, and that's what she's talking about: horrible, wretched, misery, and she's seen it with her own two eyes.
And even then Ryan Kinel has seen a damn sight more than her on that front.
"you have not seen what I have seen"

Don't watch the show on Amazon!! It should go without saying, but I know a lot of fans who still plan to watch it just to see what a mess they made. I think one of the best things we can all do is to NOT support this horror by watching it on Amazon. I get that some Tolkien fans might be very curious to see just how bad it really is. But remember, it doesn't matter WHY you watch it... you are still supporting it by pressing play. And there are alternatives to watch it without involving Amazon (and boosting their numbers in the process). It will be available from "alternative" sources shortly after it starts airing. So if you absolutely have to watch it, use those!
I’m planning to cancel Amazon prime in sept
@@kalm6872 That'll work too! Awesome idea. I'm onboard with that 🙂
A massive cancelation of prime for the month of september should do the trick, eben if you get it back a couple months after, thats income that will deffinitly hurt

My contribution won't do anything in reality, but at least I can say I stood by my principles.
A wise person can watch for free on streaming sites......just saying.
I am offended that this new Galadriel is so offensive. All that star and lights from the Trees must've fried her brains.
Don't let me started on that beardless dwarf!
When Galadriel exclaims, "Sauron! You magnificent bastard! I read your book!" while watching her forces decisively defeat the Orcs in a pitched tank battle, you will have chills running down your spine!
The ironic part is there would be nothing more progressive then dwarf women with beards and they decide to do the opposite
This Galadriel (what we've seen in the trailers, not the actress as a person) is lore friendly. Anyone saying otherwise isn't familiar with Tolkien's lore, or at least not as relates to Galadriel. Tolkien himself was confused about who Galadriel was and what things she might have done, as he lamented over in his letters and notes. Her character and plot changed wildly over the years, such that you can cherry pick any depiction of Galadriel as 'false'. She was indeed a hand-to-hand warrior, though; that much is without dispute if you go by Tolkien's own account. His LATTER account, mind you. That is, what he finally settled on before he passed. If you check out his earlier versions of Galadriel when he was still unsure then you will find contradictions. And contradictions. And yet more contradictions.
@@keithhudgins1904 yes but we all like the final book not that shitty
I love the part when Galadriel climbing The Wall yells "You know nothing Elrond" and Elrond goes blind pissing against the wind ... So epic!
Best scene!! 😭😭
LOL
There is a reason JRR Tolkien, Christopher and the estate were so protective of their works, which was SO MUCH MORE to them than just an IP like everything we see today dragged into multiple sequels and spinoffs.
This show exists merely for spectacle and for agenda. It needs to have a lot of flashy CGI for the dullard masses and forced agendas around "diversity", "female empowerment", and the dangers of things like Nationalism and ingroup preference. Basically the same as 100% of big budget modern cape Shit movies/show.

I'll never forgive them for Watchmen. Same with Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel etc etc

I think you hit the nail right on the head. They know they have a stinker on their hands, so they pushed an actress who is essentially just an Extra on set to the fore front so that when we crack down on her Identity Politics, they have an excuse to why the show will ultimately fail. The fans are ....Fill in the blank...I've been saying for months how the marketing isn't about the show. We know absolutely nothing about the characters, the story, the motivations, nothing. We only know about how the show runners "fixed" Tolkien. And well....That doesn't give me much confidence that it will be anything remotely watchable.
THIS! Beautifully said.
Hm. But it was racist when Rooney Mara was cast as Tiger Lily, ergo Sophia Nomvete being cast as a character named after a Norse Deity and based on white culture is racist cultural appropriation.
“SHE’LL RUIN MAH CULTURE BY INSERTING HERS INTO IT!”

Ismael Cruz Cordova calls himself a strong activist:
"When I heard about the character on the show it felt like a mission"
Cordóva always knew something was missing from the Jackson films he adored. He grew up in a small mountain town in Puerto Rico and harbored a childhood dream of playing an elf. "I didn't see myself represented. And when I said, 'I want to be an elf', people said, 'Elves don't look like you'", he says. "When I heard about the character on the show it felt like a mission.
This show is gonna BLOW so much
The people who (allegedly) told him that are correct. lol
If he were more handsome, I honestly wouldn't mind him playing an elf. Problem is, he's too ugly - just like all the other actors playing elves on this show. "Elves don't look you" applies to ALL of them, and it has nothing to do with skin color.
I love how you just start the video, so tired of intros & these hype beats before the video I've seen over & over. Thank you man for just getting to the info I'm looking for!
"We feel that this story isn't ours"
Translation:
"We're specifically making this show for ourselves but we can't admit that we just took a popular IP to get more attention to it"
maybe they are trying to position themselves as having less agency in the creation of this show knowing its such a disaster, they can try to shift the blame to that Tolkien chap for coming up with it :D just like Kennedy complained about how hard Star Wars was to write for.
This is like Netflix residents evil show that show has nothing to do to the source material they literally took the name of the famous video games franchise and put in the show about generic teens coming of age story that has nothing to do with the games there no Leon no Claire no Chris etc nothing.

We'll see, but if it's not that's the proof that we can't convince "casuals" cause they're not in the internet culture or whatever :) same shit with gaming :/
The fact that the actress playing the main character in this can only dredge up 22,000 followers, just days from its debut, says it all.
@@zubileegluckgluck exactly! I was thinking that while watching the video. Some teenagers in my small town have more followers.

Yes have to agree with some of the sentiments. I'm not convinced that the show will be a 100% total failure.
When “Galadriel” is saying “You have not seen what I have seen,” she’s mentioning the aftermath of the Dagor Aglareth, when the Noldor captured Morgoth’s Cheeto stores. Everyone was covered in Cheeto dust for daaaaaaays.
Again, well done Disparu. Another awesome to the point vid. Love it.
Anyone pretending to adapt Tolkien and lying through their teeth about their agenda,
promoting hateful division in the fandom by inducing a weird self-insert kind of racism
and then pointing the fingers at fans after not having done their own deep dive into the source material….
Get off my screen,
get out of my social media,
Stay at home and go to therapy, you shall profit greatly!
well depends......if the therapist is as crazy as they are.....
My favorite scene was when Galadriel looks at Deckard and says "I've seen things you , they, them wouldn't believe, Orc ships on Fire on the shoulder of Anduin, I watched fiery whips glowing in the dark near the mines of moria, all those moments will be lost in time like tears in the rain" - "time to change my pronoun"
That's "Tears in rain." NOT
"Tears in THE rain."
I'm still giving you a like for effort.
your best vid about this subject so far.
Lady Galadriel has the mouth of a sailor. Perhaps they should cast her in the next Pirates of the Caribbean.
Pushing Princess Deeeznuts to the front of the marketing reminds me of all those Gwendolyn Christie interviews about Captain Phasma. More details in the marketing than on the screen
I hope many LOTR fans like me are committing themselves to not watching any of this crap. Instead, I'll be watching via content creators telling me of their horrible experiences
You can also pirate it, so that Amazon doesn't get your money!

Yeah, I can't WAIT for the reviewers takes the day after. Disparu, the Critical Drinker, Just Some Guy, that's where the good show is going to be.
@@shpreenten this show pisses me off soo much that I won't even pirate it. My ship will stay in harbor.
Pirating is the way to go or not watch at all
I'm diggin' the Nine Line shirt Disparu. Another amazing video as always.
Probably the best to the point break down of how we all feel I’ve heard so far. Top marks dude 👏
T800 : Hey Janelle, what do you think about Rings of Power? Are you excited?
T1000 : Yes John, it looks very promising. I'm very excited to watch it.
"Your foster parents are Dead!!!"
Then, Janelle morphs into Jeff Bezos
They start the series on the anniversary of Tolkien's death, how rude can one be.
thats why you should watch the LotR movies from the 2000's the day ROP comes out :D
When Warrior Galadriel said “You have not seen what I have seen!” she was talking about the showrunners vision for the series. Scary stuff!
“But as the theme progressed, it came into the heart of Bezos to interweave matters of his own imagining that were not in accord with the theme of Tolkien, for he sought therein to increase the power and glory of the part assigned to himself.”
After the roasting they’ve deservedly received at the hands of the fans it was only a matter of time before the ‘racist’ & ‘sexist’ labelling. Amazon’s Ding-A-Lings of Power.
Amazon is so behind on the woke playbook. Disney starts out the gate with 'racist' & 'sexist' labelling.
*Do better!*
Too bad that literally no one anymore. It's so pathetic. Little do they know that will cause more hate and vitriol
The latest short teaser posted on twitter today showed that Galadriel is now the commander of Gil-Galad's armies, not Elrond as Tolkien wrote. And it seems they really are going down the route of a Halbrand/Sauron and Galadriel romance or at least there will be some romantic tension between the two. Funny how they have made Galadriel an idiot whilst parading her around as a generic strong woman. Galadriel (just like Gil-Galad and Elrond) didn't trust Sauron when he appeared as Annatar but this version is an idiot apparently and hangs out with him but at least she is a strong woman 🤮
Man how a lot of people who dont know shit about Tolkien would eat this up. I am kind of scared when that happens, people would be destroying the lore i could already see it. The only thing i could hope is that when they watch this they would discover Jackson's movie which in turn would make them more curious and actually read Tolkien's books. Then they'll know.
@@hoshiuno7530 This is exactly what I did after Witcher Season 1. At first I enjoyed the series, then I read the books and played the Witcher III (I think, they catched the characters of the books very good in the game)... after that I didn't like the series anymore - Season 2 was horrible, so I'm definitely not gonna watch Season 3.
I hope many people will start reading the books of Tolkien and never go back and watch further Seasons of that fanfiction-bullsh..!
@@hoshiuno7530 people eat up any old shit nowadays just look at recent media and you'll see the quality level is low. The mindless seals on twitter clap for anything as long as it fits them and their message even if it's a show/book they don't care about. I wonder how many of the ones with RoP profile pics, where all their tweets are about simping for the show, the actors and the message whilst bashing actual fans, even cared about Tolkien, LoTR before this show became popular. I doubt may of them did.
People should really read Tolkien's book, there's a reason they are regarded as some of the best books ever written. I love the lord of the rings films but the books are leagues better and even more beautiful
@@ladyd-t-w711 I'm so glad you did that. I've been a fan of the books long before the show but thought I would watch the first season to see how it was. Bad idea as it was bad and butchered the books which I thought would be hard to do as they are quite straightforward. I didn't bother watching the second season. The games on the other hand are great.
Omg
The reality is that we're dealing with a production that's about to give us a "young" Gandalf and a breed of Hobbits least likely to roam or move about to chase corn across the lands...this is the level of genius that wishes to rival Tolkien and write a story nobody asked for.
You have the absolute greatest ranting voice ever. I would hire you every time I need to complain about something just so I can hear my complaints back to myself and feel satisfied.
The Doritos Queen was only cast for this project for the prerelease parroting. That is why she is the central mouthpiece for the marketing. She checks enough boxes to fit the 'beyond reproach' stereotype. Bezos wanted 'Game of Thrones', but he's getting 'Woke of Tolkien'.
Doritos Queen🤣🫡
I friggink love all these nicknames that people give these characters, like Ladriel, Halbro and now this. xD
That naked mole rat is getting a billion dollar failure.
The Rings of Girl Power.....Lad Spice is hot...
Indeed. I mean, this is her very *first* role in a TV show/movie. Why is such a noob getting a role in this enormous project? She must have said exactly the kind of things they like to hear about diversity and whatnot. Much of her previous acting has been in some woke theater roles, several of them where her characters were originally male.
I loved when Galadriel looked at the camera and said, “Shut the fuck up. It’s Morfynn time!”
I am perpetually excited thinking about your coverage of this show/the insanity it will generate.
You my friend are a legend!
We should let them know about Batgirl or Cowboy Bebop (2021).
They are not invulnerable.
I just wanted to tell you that I found you through Drinker. I must say that as much as I love drinkers style, I love yours more. The fast paste info with quips really makes for entertaining videos and I have watched all your LOTR updates. You are my favorite new content creator that I have found and the one thing that is for certain. The culture war is near life support, but people are slowly fighting back against the tide.
Ga-bad-riel at Comic Con: “Give us a chance, have an open mind.”
Ga-bad-riel on Instagram: “Shut up.”
And that not even provoked by anything said by Princess Dorito.
Legendary actors like Al Pacino had almost everyone and everything going against them, even after he'd proven himself, Hollywood producers still hated him and he was snubbed by the Oscars. I doubt he'd reach legendary status if he started attacking people every time someone hurt his feelings.
Gene Hackman said he just wanted to be an actor, but celebrity status came with it and he didn't know how to deal with it. He dealt with it far better than these thin skinned imposters, that's for sure.
Because there's too many fucking pussies out there that if you say something they got so offended in all this shit it is ridiculous. It's the age of feelings nothing more nothing less
coincidentally both the actors you mentioned grew up in a time when men werent being attacked for being masculine and women werent trying to be masculine. its a sign of the times.
Similar to Gene Hackman and the legendary Al, Kurt Russell is a great example of how to handle fame. These cast members on the other hand seem like an egotistical bunch of narcissists, not good enough for Hollywood.
There are so many great actors which get shunned now as problematic because they dare to keep their mouths shut on politics and hot button topics. I really enjoy watching Denzel Washington, he is one of my favourite actors, yet he always has stayed true to being a humble man however the establishment try and get him to become an activist.
As a child I was always in awe in the legendary actors such a Richard Todd, Audey Murphy and Jimmy Stewart. True heroes who fought in WW2 as well as being actors. When you look back at the greats of the 60s, 70s etc they all.had real life experience. Compared to now who are just spoilt brats whinging about their lack or morals.
It incredible to hear of some of the exploits of the actors of the past. Richard Todd was a paratrooper on D Day on Pegasus Bridge. Jimmy Stewart flew bombing missions over Europe. Audey Murphy won a CMH fighting of a German attack near single handed. Audrey Hepburn running secret messages between French Resistsnce groups in Occupied France. Truly epic people doing extraordinary things but not becoming so egotistical about themselves as these modern creatures do.
Gene Hackman is a know pos to work with in movies. Gtfo here trying to say he handles fame well. The dude is a complete asshole
Amazon clearly prefers "ACTivists" instead of actual "ACTors".
When Galadriel told Walter "No Walt, I'm not in danger, I Am the Danger" and Walter died, I cried. Such moving scene, definitely the show of all time
I remember that, and when Sauron yelled “Say My Name” to Elrond, and he answered with “you’re Slim Shady” and the latter replied with “you’re goddamn right” i shed a tear ngl
Sir good content you earned a sub
I like how in one of the trailers.... WARRIOR Galadriel is stacking helmets and all I could think of was... "sure, make the woman clean up the battlefield".
They never talk about the story. Red lights going off.
Well said! Absolutely spot on!
Good content, subscribed.
I was honestly kinda excited for this show 2 years ago. Now that every day they are releasing new informations and trailer, I can't even think about watching it. I never read the books but now I am reading them. And enjoying every bit of it.
In today's climate, nothing good comes out even if they pump all the funds into a project. It is time to go back to the books indeed!
@@thecrebain6760 definitely. And people should buy old copies from charity shops or Ebay. Not the new prints with the shit ROP covers!
There never was much hope. Just a fool's hope.
@@krugbit9642 not even the fool's hope here
Good for you! That's great you're reading them for the first time and enjoying them. Cheers!
Anyone sending hate to her fellow black cast mates...... Wait what so it's ok to hate white cast mates... Oh poor Clark we are hating everyone in the cast without seeing their race including you for what you did to lotr.
It is no secret that the culture of this production crew is based on racist values.
She can only see the world through her idiology. So it can't possibly be because of what they did to LOTR, it HAS to be in the lens of CRT.
of course its okay to hate straight white men, what rock have you been under for the past 20 years?
Its really important to not watch the show as they release it, but to wait until after the shows initial run. Amazon will try to frontload and claim “bestest ever” viewing figures vs House of Dragon for E01-3 and again for S01 full release. So binge watch HoD or on release days - delay RoP for weeks / months / never. If you consume the product, don’t expect any change in approach.
Solid video, thank you
"I led Isildur into the heart of Amazon, where the Rings of Power was forged. The *one* place it could be destroyed. 'Cast it into the fire! Destroy it!'"
'No.'"
"It should have ended that day, but greed was allowed to endure."
I think you’re entirely right about all of this. Something else I’d like to address is their trying to pose this as a representation of his “lesser known works” which is the appendices…. That are located at the end of one of his most popular selling books. I’d wager most anyone who read The Return of the King read the appendices.
They aren’t lesser known works. They’re well known, readily available in one of his four best selling books, with a clear outline of events and family lineage progression throughout… there’s not much room for “making your own story” and we don’t want that anyways, tell the story that’s there. It’s what the fans want to see and I guarantee it’s better anyways.
It shows how little they know about Tolkien fans; they seemed to assume nobody ever read the appendices.
Well done, Disparu. No beating around the bush this time. Straight to the point; saying simply what is and what is not. These people want to destroy Tolkien’s legacy with their bootleg garbage and attack the fan base for their blatant mistakes, but before they even begin destroying Tolkien’s works, they must destroy themselves and the marketing for this series. This is why it will fail. Always.
Way to go Disparu. Your subscriber growth is phenomenal because of your insightful criticism
I hate how they try to debate this with fans. I just point out the Galadriel change and stop talking to them after that. It starts and ends there. That's all you need to know. It's all downhill from there. The so significantly changed one of the biggest characters in the story. Nothing is off limits for them at that point. Bunch of no talent hacks.
I get the complains about most of it, but Galadriel is lore friendly in this, so I don't understand that part of it. She isn't just some wisp that minded her own in the kitchen, you know. Tolkien himself stated she was a warrior-woman who led armies and fought like a man. At least in his latter writings he did. There are earlier notes that contradict this fact, but Tolkien contradicts himself frequently, most notably the account of Bilbo and the finding of the One Ring. He had to change what happened there to fit the LOTR narrative, and he did it masterfully, but that's why two different versions of 'the hobbit' exist. Because Tolkien is flawed and he didn't know what he was doing until he'd gotten there. Stories evolve and adapt, and characters do too. Black dwarf queens without beards is not lore friendly, not that I know of, but Galadriel being sort of 'butch chick' is. At least in terms of character and action, though definitely not in appearance (the chick's hot!).
@@keithhudgins1904 Lore friendly? They removed Celeborn so that she's romantically available and lo and behold, there's gonna be a romance with Halbrand who is Sauron. It's abominable at this point. Also the fact that she enters Numenor and not only interacts with Miriel who is regent queen, but goes into battle with her to Middle-Earth! And Tolkien never thought to mention that fact if it had actually happened? Talk about lore friendly! It's a breaking of the lore at every turn. A joke!
@@Puma5 I think the show looks terrible; I have no interest in watching it. I don't disagree with anything you said. But you ignored everything I said, clearly. Perhaps I misunderstood the OP perspective, but I have noticed an awful lot of people commenting first and foremost their disapproval of Galadriel in armor, wielding a sword. If they have her dating Sauron that's ridiculous- again I agree with you; I'm not talking about that. Or Meteor Man. Or anything else that's done wrong. I'm talking about the plethora of people who are getting annoyed that the showrunners won't let Galadriel 'be female', as "tolkien intended". But Tolkien's final take (after many and more a revision) on Galadriel was that of a hot-headed warrior-woman, one who mellowed out later in life. IE Cate Blanchett
@@keithhudgins1904 I think you’re allowing too much leeway from the things Tolkien said, to try to accommodate Amazon’s version (which is just a Jeanne D’Arc rip off).
You will have to show me by quote the passages where he said she was a commander “of armies”, and a hot-headed “warrior”.
She had a lot of temperament, yes. Her mother’s name for her meant “man-maiden”, yes.
But there are ways these descriptions can be worked out in a non-military context in keeping with her femininity. She had much more subtle means to her disposal. The Amazon version of her seems just gross and vulgar.
Mordyd Clarke probably thought getting cast in Rings of Power would make her a star. Instead of fame she is going to gain infamy through a character and show that is going to get memed to death.
Same shit as Rey from Star Wars. The hate will be eternal.
Great video, and very good point about actors should probably be separating their social media from the project.
Nice Nineline shirt you got there! I used to work on the HH-60 Pavehawks engines
ah, so we've finally reached _that_ part of the marketing campaign, lol...
The cast and crew are absolutely DESPERATE to hide the fact that this is not Tokein.
Cannot believe they used the "it is true, because I feel it in my heart" argument.
So when the show runners said during San Diego Comic Con, “Go to the book, go to the book…..” I guess they went to the wrong book.
"Bring me Game Of Thrones!"
"No Jeffery,we have Game Of Thrones _at home_ ".
Writers: "go back to the books back to the books back to the books"
Me: "WHAT BOOKS? Which NOT tolkien books bave ye been reading Heathen?! You're gonna destroy Tolkien for an entire new generation who'll swallow this bs, see the ACTUAL movies and books, and be 'slammed' in the face with how much BULLSHIT you sold"
Writers: "it's all your fault!"
Me: "yeah like how 'starwars', 'Doctor Who' and 'MSHEU' was our fault right? Piss off.
Man I miss the time when interviews were like Viggo speaking about how he only took the Role because his son 'forced' him to, instead of these beta humans being put in just because 'Reprezentassion' (thanks Nerdrotic! New catchphrase)
And spreading THE MESSAGE!
I wasn't ever expecting much from this series, but they actively went out of the way to make it horrible
This is going to be The Last Jedi times one million...
I feel a bowel movement every time I think about Amazon's rings of power.
Let's see how their shareholders _feel_ about the losses this show is going to incur because they've incurred the wrath of Tolkien fans.
The show is really a giant tax shelter/money laundering scheme. So I expect accounting shenanigans will wipe away any losses; indeed, Amazon will probably be able to write the show off and lower any future taxes it would otherwise have to pay.
@@primmakinsofis614 There is something to that because I'm sure one of the reasons they moved production to the UK is because Amazon don't pay Tax in the UK.
For some time, I’ve asked whether these massive fiascos of series are concealing fraud on a monumental scale.
Like others asking this question, I’m just a pleb - but if we’re asking, who else might be?
@@primmakinsofis614 Yup, the cancellation of that Batwoman movie was not just because of a sudden realisation that wokeness is bad, it actually was some kind of tax evation scheme.
@Gisli Brynjolfsson considering im certain they actually spent LESS than fellowship of the rings who had ARMORS when they needed it and not just some plastic piece on which an armor was painted, yep theres NO WAY this money is legit
Good solid point you have there. I have been thinking about her as just a PR disaster, an activist actress out of her depth and her element overdoing it with her talking points, but given everything else going on and the parallels with Riva and how they handled her to deflect fan anger I think you are spot on, she's here to distract.
You’re awesome. I love your show
The woman who plays Galadriel is so fake in her interviews she comes across sweet but then uses profanity when its not needed. She's really clueless about her character... cringe. hope all these fake actors can take there wokeness elsewhere. It does not belong in Tolkien's world.
She/idiot.
I was wondering why a huge $2 Billion show didn’t cast at least one big Hollywood name. Not even some B-list TV actor…? Really?
Instead they got a bunch of ignorant noobs with raging delusions of grandeur. Imagine someone like Tom Cruise in there, he’d probably murder them all within one week 😅
Jokes aside, NO actor with an ounce of pride would want this hot mess in their filmography! If Ian McKellen is clever, he’ll never even answer the phone when Bezos calls…
Cate Blanchett was so powerful in that role, the word awesome is often overused but she was awesome. Not "just an elf" but an ancient high elf, an elite among the elite, she could destroy buildings with her will power not too sure she spent much time learning swordplay...
@@The_Reality_Filter Cate Blanchett was incredible. This one is like the Wish version
@@Wunderkinddd In all honestly this new one is just a generic strong female fantasy figure. There's nothing Elvish about her, that I've seen, beyond the pointy ears.
I dont know if the show will pass the Bechdel test, but I definitely know that it will not pass the Tolkien test.
Nailed it again. Brilliant!
I'm so tired of Mighty Morfyyd Power Elf and I've only seen a few snippets and pictures of her. She seems insufferable. I miss the days I could like actors without knowing anything about them and just seeing their work on the screen and only learning decades later they were nasty pieces of work. Now I know right away they're insufferable prats.
They don't care about fans because it was not done for LOTR fans but for pushing the message.
No it wasn't. You don't spend $500 million just to say "black women are great." They can do that for much cheaper on their own website.
@@SamtheBravesFan spreading a message through a show is a better strategy than setting up a website. Are you part of the woke cult or are you trolling?
Fun Fact: The Bechdel test was made up as satire by it's inventor^^
"I do earnestly hope that in the assignment of actual speeches to the characters they will be represented as I have presented them: in style and sentiment. I should resent perversion of the characters." - J.R.R. Tolkien
Guys Amazon are no longer calling this show an "adaptation" of Tolkien's work, they are now saying it was "inspired" by Tolkien's work. Yay, I'm no longer interested in the show.
