I think all this stages can be summarized as a normal modern american feminist girl 😂😂😂 great video, keep it up and greetings from Venezuela
Masterful and eloquent. Wonderful comparisons to totalitarian racist ideology and satanic delusions. I can just picture her thinking “Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven” as she jumped ship.
to be fair it isnt like the orcs where just chilling and she decided they needed to die ,they attacked first .i mean some humans sided with sauron and she doesent seem to want to genocide them
This sounds like a Pokémon Evolution of a Feminist lol
''ConFFLicted?!'' - Demon Beast Galadrool
The disturbing thing is, this may be 100% intentional. They’re trying to make it look like Sauron is the good guy and Galadriel is the villain, because these sorts of people relate 100x more to Sauron than Galadriel.
Not to mention the Woke always, always, always tear down the heroes of yesterday
I can just imagine the writers discussing how the Orcs should be white instead of black. “Orc Lives Matter!”
Geez…
@@ms1535 There is literally woke literature out there criticising tolkein as racist because orcs are apparently black people.
I had to learn about it during woke classes at University. Was studying 3D game art and was forced to take a module about 'the history of video games and media' that was basically woke brainwashing.
Nah, wasn't intentional. They would never make a white guy look good and a woman be pure evil intentionally.
It’s a clear sign that we have our psyche fucked up in our modern collective psyche.
These writers are no idiots. They represent the movement behind the ideologies that many modern movies express.
Me: That's not badass, it's sociopathic!
Modern Hollywood: I... don't understand the difference.
Me: I know you don't. Get out of here.
Holy fuck that's right on the money!😂
It is not ''Hollywood''. It is fem ideology. Always Plotting - please be brave enough to say it
Exactly true. Those people have no morals. Very little talent too. Just enough, to expose themselves.
Thank you.
I would reply : Because that's what you really are.
The thing that disturbs me the most is that the writers genuinely thought they were writing her as a hero. This is what happens when you hire a team of mentally disturbed psychopaths to create a "heroic" character. They're unable to understand why the average viewer is shocked and appalled by Galadriel's bloodthirsty campaign of genocide.
Not Psychopaths. Victims and Cowards. Weak little Twats consistently fantasize about being the big bad super villain nobody can challenge and touch and who can let their negative Emotions run free because they remain unchallenged because they're oh so powerful.
The truth is that the whole series is a self insert masturbation for fat landwhales with fantasies of omnipotence. The only thing missing was Galadriel having a literal Dick and fucking other Women.
i think it is because some people will never see women as dangerous or capable of being a threat or a person in power. so applying these attributes to a female character will never portray them as evil, brutal ect. in their mind. I also seen so many times now, that i think it might be some kind of fetish.
i couldn't and still can't comprehend the absolute evil of the nazis and this video was horrifically disturbing... being so disgustingly cruel and genocidal while taking a happy pride in it doesn't even earn you death anymore man
it makes me wonder what a society would think if you brought this show back in time 20-30 years
And why we all feel sorry for Adar.
"Galadriel isn't really an evil character, she's simply evil itself." made me burst out laughing I usually don't watch Rings of Power related videos but this was so sarcastic it had me laughing my ass off.
Glad to hear it.
You say sarcastic but I was convinced with every fiber of my being. Not even kidding. Can't figure out if this is supposed to be amusing or not but there you go.
@@oanaclapa3743
Okay nobody really cares do you find it amusing or not being so butthurt about that comment.
Sorry for not being able to understand, is the video really sarcastic? I would like it if it is as I dislike RoP.@@jout738
Yea I already thought she was a horrible character from a writing and a moral standpoint, but this is beyond parody@@oanaclapa3743
I never thought I’d hear “Galadriel” and “psycho-sexual gratification” in the same sentence, but here we are
Hey another day another bastardization of the Tolkien universe, in the same way I have not expected to see 'stupid sexy Shelob' and we did in the Monolith video game Shadow of War, sequel to Shadow of Mordor ;). Jokes aside it's really strange how they depicted the character in the tv show but it's just another of the misinterpretations of the complex Tolkien characters...especially the positiive ones, the author of the video may be exaggerating at moments but it's weirdly accurate how he describes the compulsive need to fight in the tv show. Tolkien Galadriel was never that obsessed :)...what she had was an ambition to rule her own kingdom, desire of freedom and exploration, a bit pride but tempered with her deep understanding of others, compassion and kindness...all traits missing from tv show portrayal (plus book Galadriel had more mystical power interests, we can simplify her as 'sorcererss' type though to elves magical powers are part of their nature).
@@fantasywind3923 Sexy Shelob is stupid as hell, but at least the Shadow of Mordor games never pretended to be anything but dumb fanfiction for the creators to have fun with. I can respect that.
@@Whitby_Abbeys_Ghost yeah, I still will criticise the use of lore in those games, for indeed those games did a lot of stuff in weird ways, but of course it was nothing else than fanfic, with an enjoyable gameplay (but the story in thegames of Monolith as an after thought anyway), still I would love one day to see a proper single player open world RPG set in Tolkien's world using the lore to full potential faithfully :) there is enormous potential for video games in Lotr universe shame though that the license is so far in the wrong hands :), first EA in true manner of evil corporation cancelled the White Council project, a game that potentially could have been hit :) later WB doesn't do enough with it Shadow of Mordor and it's sequel are probably the larger entries and still they are but shadow of what could be done in the gaming with this franchise! The lore rich worlds are ideal for rpg games :) you can have something that would be better than Elder Scroll,s Dragon Age and so on...hehe, you can have a Red Dead Redemption 2 style game with large open sandbox that uses the lore of Tolkien to create vast living world and I bet the game would do well :). Thing is the Shadow of War went really off rails when it comes to alterations and changes but also in the same time wasn't really intent on exploring the intricacies of this world :).
@@Whitby_Abbeys_Ghost But the shadow of mordor its amazing fanfiction that its written well
@@fantasywind3923 She is a magic caster class, whatever particular class. Probably Noble Elven Maiden I would put it, which does not seem impressive at first but if you put in perspective: the fact that she is Thousands of years old; and the fact that she learned her crafts from the Gods themselves (the Valar, and Melian the Maia), it is something out of the ordinary.
I wouldn't say she is a sorceress because there is a lot of reference in the book to 'Elvish Magic' particularly. So not sorcery. They say that to the elves their magic is Art, so the magic she does is not a spell, but a craft. Hence she weaves the magic capes for the fellowship members to use, capes which are almost supernaturally good camouflage, and in all terrains. Hence she produces the Phial of Galadriel, which can dispel any darkness. These are all items of her magic craftswork. Another example of her craft is the lasting beauty of beings around her, in Lothlórien, where time is stalled and things don't wane or die, but instead become renewed. She really has got some very overpowered stuff if you think about it. She also has the ability to have premonitions and look into the unseen.
Unfortunately her depiction in this series twists every single aspect of her true story, down right to the core. If you look at the archetype idea behind Galadriel, she is the opposite of any evil. She is Beauty, Purity, Wisdom, Healing, Mending, Ancient Knowledge. She is a clear representation of Divinity.
These guys are really some twisted fucks to have taken things in this direction.
It really reminds me of Wandavision. Wanda holds an entire town hostage with her magic because she couldn't get over her grief like a normal person. It was so bad that the enslaved people were begging her to kill them because they were suffering so much pain.
And then when the army general came to free the town that Wanda was holding hostage, HE was portrayed as the villain.
Same for She Hulk who rudely told Hulk that being catcalled in the street was worse than him being hunted by the military, the woman he loved dying, and everyone seeing him as a monster that needs to be put down.
Damn, these modern day female protagonists are so villainous. There is nothing wrong with having a female main character that is the villain, the problem arises when the writers want to keep "insisting" that they are just "misunderstood" or they are "good all along" while male villains don't receive any mercy.
Women are held to be good by virtue of their victimhood as women, white males are either villains or wimps. Identity politics driven 'entertainment' is trash.
@@DespotofAntrim there are enough "strong white male" characters in modern media...
just the last movie I watched with my kids was the new Jurassic Park, doesn't get more mainstream than that, and guess who the main characters was? A strong white male who is 100% good and heroic.
only because they aren't in every movie anymore doesn't mean they don't exist...
modern companies just realized that there are more groups to market towards.
@@underarmbowlingincidentof1981
If that is your understanding then your lost already and missed the point..
You're a lefty at heart no doubt.
@@mygodisyahweh8634 so saying "marketing movies towards brown people and women is profitable" is me being a lefty?
Sure buddy.
leftism is when you market towards minorities
@@underarmbowlingincidentof1981
Still missing the point
Sauron: Lets get married, for peace!
Galadriel: lol no. I hate peace.
Fuck peace.
The howling
@@DespotofAntrimAll my homies hate peace
@@DespotofAntrim somehow, the beast returned. Will you once again analyse it?
They weren't trying to mimic here. The writers and directors were revealing a fundamental flaw of their own real personalities by projecting it onto the scene, and galadriel character in general.
she is xenophobic. she is close minded in the guise of being open minded. she is fanatical. she is unforgiving. she condemns any who disagree with her ideas. and in the end her hateful, close minded, single minded, and violent tendencies cause her to reject sauron who was apparently prepared to turn away from his evil path if only she would give him a chance at romance. in other words, not only was she an evil person, she also brought about all the evils of the third age.
she is the real villain of the rings of power series. in character, behavior, and outcome.
So she should just, like, date a guy because it could put a stop to genocide on an immeasurable scale or, like, whatever?! #NoMeansNo
The parallels are truly uncanny.
Like, not even joking, wtf! They really did make her evil in this show . . .
the scary thing to me, is that.. I dont think any of these writers have seen Schindlers list... they write who THEY are.
@@Goldenhawk583 I think you're probably right. They used their life experiences to try to write a "conflicted and multidimensional" character, and what they came up with was Galadriel being torn between being regular evil and being psycho-demon-nazi evil
@@leipzigergnom Yes exactly.. and they think its awesome.
Their lack of intelligence is very clear in the dialogues in the series.. they do not flow at all. But.. they do make sense if you think of 2 (or more) narcisists just speaking words at eachother, each wrapped up in their own heads, paying no attention to the one they are talking (to) at.
If they were smart enough to make this brilliant approach version, they would also be smart enough to make the dialogue alliring, catching, persuasive.
@@Goldenhawk583 yeah, it's just a reflection of who they are
Bc the ideology behind the Amazon’s RoP is the true form of the ideology of Woke-ism.
It aims to eradicate the idea that white people are responsible for the sins of their fathers.
All the while all the other races are not (no matter how equally stained with blood their histories are).
Woke-ism has also isolated white men by successfully convincing the world that white women are equally brutalized by the “patriarchy” (wtvr tf that means).
And here I thought they inadvertently made Sauron empathetic and Galadriel absolutely loathsome through sheer ineptitude of writing and their poor understanding of true human nature. Nope. The showrunners are evil, not incompetent.
Why can’t it be both?
Patently evil, if you will
I think it’s absolutely both.
Most of Hollywood is run by Satanists.
They want the audience to sympathize with the Devil (Sauron) while hating the righteous (Galadriel).
They are not incompetent at all. Pulling off this switcheroo was a stroke of genius. Evil Genius but genius none the less.
Don't forget that Morfydd Clark has all the acting ability of a plank of wood.
Galadriel also has the psycho face
She has this uncanny apathetic expression with the way her eyes stare at you, it's literally like every psycho be fictional or real, it's legitmaly scary
She has that "flat-eyed" look that sharks have. No empathy behind them. Just a goal to be achieved/eaten lol
Tell everybody you’ve never been laid without telling them, with just a comment….lmao y’all are pathetic losers.
It's legitimately the empty expression of a psychopath. No clue if it's poor direction, poor acting, a mix of both, or genuine psychopathy in the actress.
@@lewisyeadon4046Reminds me of the Bateman stare
Most Mary Sue with Daddy issues have that look... Check captain marvel lol
Jesus. That line..."I vow to kill every last one of you," brought me chills. No wonder the Orcs and the people of Middle Earth have been at war with one another for so long.
These Orcs have been fighting for their lives!
Its almost like orcs are palestinians and elves/men are jews or smth
@@wanttogetfoodYes, Palestinian fanatic murderous population. Just like Morgoths orcs.
@@wanttogetfood Except that it's the palestinians/Hamas that want to kill all the jews
the fact that most of this is somewhat sarcastic yet still REALLY accurate and makes good points is scary.
It’s sarcastic?
@@rogersstinson4019 If not sarcastic, maybe tongue in cheek? That is, I don't think he _really_ believes the show's creators meant to create Galadriel as a psychopath. It just so happens that their ideology combined with their limited skill and vision created this. But framing it as in this video is far more entertaining.
I mean the writers wanted her to be a likeable hero and accidentally created a psychopath.
You could take this video 100% at face value and I couldn't even point out, why that's wrong.
It is most likely meant to be tongue and cheek tho.
Yeah mb, tongue and cheek is a better way to word it I just didn't remember the phrase.
Many points are not good
They really delivered the 'instead of a dark lord you would have a queen'
''All shall -love- hate me and despair!''
Funnily enough, in one of The Hobbit film, we see Galadriel quite literally vaporize a massive orc with the wave of her hand. And she even picked up and carried an unconcious Gandalf, a fully grown "man." Even so, she never once lost her feminine softness and air of goodness and light. She had even warned the orc beforehand not to impede her progress to Gandalf or she would destroy him. She literally gave an orc a chance to flee and live. She killed him only because he refused to listen and she made good on her warning.
Now compare that to Amazon's black-hearted, demonic mockery that they dare to misgive Galadriel's name. Truly luciferian. There's no other way to describe it.
It is truely shocking that even Melkor himself would have been a benevolent paramount of compassion compared to a one ring empowered Galadriel. Melkor at least wanted to create and rule the world. Galadriel is simply happy to see it burn.
@@HickoryDickory86 Galadriel did indeed have a "Darkness inside her" but she was by no means, a Luciferian, she is by no means Pure Evil. Which is how Amazon portrays her for some reason.
@@Aufsammelkabbler not really morgoth wanted to destroy everything sauron was the one who wanted to rule the world
The dry, deadpan, matter-of-fact delivery of the bizarre subject matter makes this video all the more hilarious. Irony and sarcasm are powerful tools.
My hat is off to the Despot for this one.
“Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin good forces have invented or made”
― JRR Tolkien
The ROP showrunners and Amazon are personification of the quote above.
We live in a world where Sauron has won.
Oh the irony. I remember that quote but I hadn't thought of it
the best thing about characters like galadriel is the writers think they're heroic and likeable. Writers must be surrounded by soulless life sucking parasites showering each other with fake praise who are all too narcissistic to look beyond it being anything other than genuine positive feedback
This
That's Hollywood for ya
Hollyweird*
They are surrounded by "slay it queen, go for it girl, both brave and stunning" sjw agenda
Very good comment, and I would say pretty much exactly how it played out with this dumpster-fires creators.
It's crazy that she gives off psychotic vibes even as a child. So focused on her boat she was ready to beat another child up for throwing a rock at it. The emotion she displays in that scene is also bizarrely cold, until her creation gives her some amount of life. Her admiration for an inanimate object being greater then that of another living creature is another psychotic element.
All those kids are little psychos. Bullying and destroying other´s stuff for fun is a sign of narcissism and sociopathy.
Her emotions (or lack of them) are disturbing in that scene.
It reminds me of a story by G. A. Henty. "With Wolf in Canada." The main character, James, saves the little granddaughter of an old soldier from drowning. The old soldier then askes the mother of James if she could care for his granddaughter Aggie for a few years and teach her to be a little lady, because he could not do it while running a traveling peep show. James becomes a big brother for Aggie and made a model boat to sail around in small ponds. The boat got stuck and James tried to dislodge it by tossing small stones to make waves. The antagonist, Richard, then comes up. He is the nephew of the squire and heir to a large estate and fortune. He had become spoiled and did whatever he liked. He took a large stone to dislodge the boat, misjudged his aim, and hit the boat. Aggie understandably became upset, and said that he was a bad boy to wreck her boat. Upset, Richard called her a baby and gave her a little push. The push was enough for Aggies to lose her balance, slip, and dirty her dress. James then gave him a tremendous punch in the face, nocking Richard down. A "fight" ensued. Richard, despite being 2 years older, was no match for James. Richard then tried to lie his way out of the situation with his uncle, but was disproven and sent to sea for a chance to reclaim his character.
Soon afterword, the old soldier reveled that Aggie was the long lost daughter of the Squire's dead son. James would later go to America and have many adventures in the French and Indian War. Richard tried to get revenge on James when he tried go get James captured, (and executed), when James went to spy out Quebec. Richard's treachery was discovered and he was arrested. James however had mercy for Richard and helped him to escape to have a second chance of life in the colonies. And of course, James marries Aggie because this is a Henty story.
While Guyladriel was ready to punch a kid for sinking her boat, James punched someone bigger than himself to stand up for a girl in his charge. Of course a male standing up for a defenseless women is toxic to Amazon.
@@charlessapp1835 Very interesting comment. Would you recommend reading that book?
@@abooga8 I have read almost all of Henty's books,(nearly 100), and I would recommend them. Henty wrote books from about 1870 to his death in 1902. He was known as "the boy's own historian." Henty's stories are almost all historical fiction. The books mostly follow the same format. The hero of the story is a young man (usually around 16-18 when the book starts), and then he takes part in some conflict or war in history from ancient Egypt to the Boxer Rebellion in China. The hero is always a fine moral person who thinks nothing of rescuing someone who is in trouble. The hero is modest and always makes light of his achievements. The hero often has a mischievous streak in him to cause harmless pranks. The history in Henty's stories is for the most part extremely accurate. The only reason some of it is not is because the history Henty used is from the late 19th Century. The only time Henty changed history, (outside of the fictional characters), is in "In the Reign of Terror," but Henty admitted to the change in the preface of the book by saying he moved the event forward in time so he could use it for the hero and his charge's escape from France.
Henty, being English, understandably has a pro-English point of view. But he is actually pro-Scotland in the book "In Freedom's Cause."
Books I would recommend in addition to "With Wolf in Canada" are: "Beric the Briton, a tale of the Roman invasion," "The Dragon and the Raven," "In Freedom's Cause, a tale of Wallace and Bruce," "The Cornet of Horse, a tale of Marlborough's wars," "Out on the Pampas" (Henty's first book), "St. Bartholomew's Eve, a tale of the Huguenot wars."
If you want to listen to a henty book for free, you can go to Librivox.org. The readers are all volunteers so some are better than others. The reader Mark Harris is really good, he did "The Dragon and the Raven," "One of the 28th, a tale of Waterloo," and "On the Irrawaddy." I read "With Moore at Corunna" and "Under Wellington's Command."
@@charlessapp1835 You're truly a man of culture. Sir, you have my respect.
This makes so much sense. The parallel of the interrogator in Schindler's List is a final nail in the coffin.
I gotta admit, I did notsee that coming.
ummmmm..... I don't think this is the message the writers were trying to convey when they created this series but it seems like *THIS CHECKS OUT* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣... bravo this is FKING BRILLIANT... thus proving the quote of “Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.”
Imagine if you watched this character study without the existence of Rings Of Power. People would call you a madman and say that's the antithesis of Galadriel's character and that you're confused.
This is a character study of the legislature in the rings of power; it's not a study of her character in The Lord of the Rings. They are two completely different works
@@stevedoetsch That is what I meant to illustrate by taking the hypothesis of this show not existing. If you were to watch this and apply it to her character from the books or the film adaptation, you'd think whoever made this video was insane. And my point is that this shows just how anti-Galadriel the writing for her was.
@@deibellator1449 Yeah, without context some modern villains can be considered the hero and viceversa
@@tsunzucchinitzatzikisan2246 They don't have to try.
Galadriel being written as evil incarnate would also explain why she avoided returning to Valinor at all cost, even if it killed her.
@Aszkalonthe way you type is equally cringe
Which is ridiculous.
@@bigwezz Well it should be, and it probably is, but the way the story is presented in this clown series actually makes it plausible.
@@dany1441 Yeah I get what you mean, but its still ludicrous what Amazon are doing.
@@bigwezz Beyond ludicrous. What is most insane to me is how out of touch they are with their target audience. The makers genuinely believe in the diversity BS and feel they have to use ROP to proselytize, and are completely unaware that their audience hates it and wants canon Tolkien instead.
When I first watched lord of the rings, because I hadn't become a Tolkien fan until Peter Jackson's trilogy came out, I was introduced to Galadriel with Cate Blanchett, and was blown away by her majesty and grace. I read the books after and became deeply dedicated to tolkiens lore, and that first introduction to Galadriel still sticks with me today, the majesty of the elven queen, she who radiated not just power, but compassion and grace, a pure being of light and magic.
They attempted to destroy galadriel in this series here, made her crude, cruel and apathetic, taking away her grace and beauty.
They will not ruin the character for me, I know who Galadriel is, who tolkien wrote about, not this shallow, empty harridan here.
This is not Galadriel.
You are right, this isn't Galadriel.
This is Guyladriel, Incarnation of Evil, The Antichrist, The Reincarnation of Morgoth.
This Galadriel is a survivor of a recent war against Evil. With a capital E. All that was good and holy and beautiful has been snuffed out by it. Including the light of the trees.
Their intent was probably to have her struggle with this before attaining Grace (probably by making orcs redeemable).
If there was any mistake, apparently, it was not to hammer home Elrond (or someone) warning her that she was commiting the same error as Feanor (who was woefully, terribly undermentioned).
@@beorntwit711 This 'Galadriel' is a modern woke feminists take on what they consider a 'strong female lead', which is basically taking all masculine traits, putting them in them, and removing all feminine traits.
Ironic how these modern feminists have nothing feminine or see any strength in femininity about them.
@@beorntwit711the problem here is that Galadriel just isn’t the type of character to do that. Any protagonist you’re supposed to like shouldn’t go on a genocidal campaign. Galadriel has always been powerful and glorious, not someone to do things that she’s done in ROP.
@@beorntwit711If the actress was given better direction, and the writers knew what they were doing, then such a story could have been well told. We needed to see the struggle between her love of beauty and her hatred of the destruction of beauty. Elves are creatures of deep and profound feeling, and it defeats the purpose of an elf protagonist to have those feelings concealed behind a dead affect. You wouldn’t even need to rewrite the story, just some of the scenes. And give the actress different direction.
Just compare this to the few-minutes introduction of Arwen in LOTR: She insists and voluntarily risks being hunted by wraiths, controls her mount like an otherworldly badass, faces off the wraiths, stops them with magical powers, and all the time cares for Frodo so lovingly, we feel that the beauty of her soul matches that of her appearance. A few scenes in and everybody has to be rooting for this women like mad. All of that without a single snarky line said. We don't have to take her word for it that she is the faster rider. We witness it first-hand, and it takes nothing away from Aragorn. Quite to the contrary, we immediately understand what he sees in her. It's not like it is a complete secret how to write strong female characters.
And then you meet the REAL Galadriel, who despite only appearing for mere minutes was instantly loved. You can feel her amazing power and she radiates beauty.
And don't even get me started on Eowyn, who's myself and many other's favorite character.
So brave and stunning of the writers to subvert our expectation of a good character. (or a good show)
The Rings of Amazon is an intentional subversion of not just good characters, but of the underlying ethical system each character/race represented in Tolkien''s works. "Subversion," starts with casting and costumes (and acting) physically depicting elves in modern terms, as either twinks or old queens. This was a subtle, "gay" subversion that the writers were likely laughing about until the show bombed. "Subversion," continues by depicting Númenóreans not as the strongest, wisest, most honorable humans in existence, but as reflections of the writer's modern views of populist Trumpists. This subversion of Tolkien for "modern" audiences continues with Orcs having, "humanity," and the evil of Sauron being not existential, not as their core motivation, but caused by societal (structural) racism. That was not what Tolkien wrote... Hobbits are dirty traveling psychopaths, having none of the delightful characteristics Tolkien endowed them...the opposite, in fact.
Tolkien intended to write a very detailed, replacement, "mythology," for England and Northern Europe, which contained precise family histories of humans, elves, dwarves, and wizards over thousands of years.
I wonder what people would say if Wakanda was sprinkled with random white people among the various tribes and families? Would that make, "sense," to modern audiences? How does inserting POC elves and dwarves in Tolkien's Mythology? (It does not) The Rings of Amazon, besides being an abomination celebrating evil (as so well pointed out by our delightful Despot of Antrim, above), is a direct insult to Tolkien and all Tolkien fans, it is bad film-making, and finally, it attempts to be a series of bitch-slap subversions of every one of Tolkien's character-types, and the ethical systems and beliefs they represented in his works.
As a result the writers-director-show runners fell into their own trap, their mutilations of Tolkien failing to subvert anything but themselves, by revealing themselves as moral, mental, and philosophical midgets hiding in the shadows of Tolkin's literary and ethical greatness.
Rescue the Series? I have an idea. Re-dub all the sound from the first season, removing all references to Tolkien. They have enough film to rewrite the scrip, & turn this pile of S into a B- level (non-Tolkien!!) fantasy that would be better if re-dubbed into something else. They can call it, "The Warrior Princess from Hell." Plus, redubbing would add a dimension of amusing humorousness, like watching one of those early Godzilla films with the bad English dubbing. Turn this tragedy into a comedy! If they did that, and actually adapted Tolkien for the second season, I might be persuaded to watch the first episode of the second season, but right now I'll stick to the Despot for my, "Rings," and other more proficient film-makers (Drinker, et al,) than watching any more of this Amazon Abomination.
Another Brilliant Work by the Despot.
If non-Whites are People of Colour, it implicates Whites as colourless.
I can't help but smile at that thought since it refers to "Saruman of Many Colours" in a way the scourge of the Eorlings.
Evil can't help but show its hand.
The Orcs are writing the script and not only with LoTR.
Tolkien's works have taken a prophetic quality as if they weren't astounding enough already.
This series can remain as a testament for anti-White hatred.
Other than that, let decent people and moral studios be the creators of an LoTR series if the West wants it so.
I personally will NEVER give as much as a rusted penny to thosee destroyers of culture who take a great man's works and twist and warp as sure as the Elf is twisted into the Orc.

I’m STUNNED. I thought “Galadriel is a psychopath” was the best Galadriel review, but this analysis is truly masterpiece. I can’t unsee now the parallels with Schindler list. Wow.
Same here. 😮
Modern leftism attempts to reverse morality. Thieves are actually heroes because they steal from wypipo. Criminals are innocent and get freed promptly by the DA's. Cops do not protect from the criminals, instead they are bastards. Whores are now 'sex workers' and their work is 'empowering'. Religious people are fanatics and dangerous.
Galadriel was supposed to be a protagonist.
All this is intended but the reasons for this brainwashing are not yet clear. However, it seems likely promoting this kind of 'morality' is meant to turn regular people into psychopaths who cannot tell 'right' from 'wrong'.
At first I thought this was satire, but you’re actually onto something. And it scares the hell out of me.
I've watched a few in-depth reviews of Rings of Power but yours takes this completely different and 100% believable approach, with proof. After this and your "I can fix Velma" video, I'm convinced you're some kind of genius.
I just noticed that Galadriel is always seen riding a white horse. Much like Death, a rider of the apocalypse, she will bring catastrophic casualties where ever she rides.. I swear I thought these writers were incompetent hacks but the more I dig into it they are appearing more and more as geniuses of their generation.
It was the first thing I thought when I saw that. The white horse symbolizes death. Many war movies and TV shows like Fury and Peaky Blinders have used it. Game of Thrones did too after Daenerys' genocide. And Galadriel always rides one...
Then again, so did Gandalf. But Gandalf rode many horses.
Actually this is a common mistake but the white horse was actually not rode by Death but by the first Horseman, Conquest.
I am using the bible as a reference of course, and not the other version of the Four Horsemen which is "War, Famine, Death and Pestilence".
While the bible's version of the four is "Conquest, War, Famine and Death".
The horse rode by Death was called "Pale" in some translation this is possibly mistaken as "white" but it is not.
It is Pale as in sickly, possibly a very pale green.
Revelation 6:8 (Look! a pale horse, and the one seated on it had the name Death.)
The true rider of the White Horse, is one of Conquest which is in Revelation 6:2 (Look! a white horse, and the one seated on it had a bow and a crown was given him, and he went out conquering and to complete his conquest) and 19:11. ("Look! a White Horse, the one seated on it is called Faithful and True, and he judges and carries on war in righteousness"). That could refer to be Jesus Christ.
Biblically speaking, the color white is referred to as Holy and the symbol of righteousness and spiritual cleanness.
But depending on cultures, such as ones in Asia, the color White represents Death.
However, since we are talking about Tolkien and he does use aspects of his faith in his books.
We should used what the color white refers in the scriptures rather than what white represents in other cultures.
I think the show runners wants us to believe that this Galadriel is "holy" and "morally upright" which of course her actions in that show do not reflect.
@@TheStraightestWhitest
Gandalf also rode eagles (or hawks).
Death did not ride a white horse, but a pale horse - sickly green-ish pale horse. Conquest rode a white horse. It also fits the new one Galadriel.
Yep, I thought he was going to mention that
One more parallel is the Galadriel rides a white horse which is symbolic of the horseman of Death who rode on the same color of horse. This explains her thirst for blood and unbridled drive to kill. Starting with her impassive reaction to all the dead elves and even willing to let her own company die in her quest to find Sauron, since he spared so many from her blade. She's the bringer of Death, starting with the orcs. Her tempest, if left unquelled, could devour the entire world. I wouldn't be surprised if her tempest is what leads to the wave the claims Numenor and all the lives within.
Outstanding.
I'm autistic, but that was ashen horse. White horse is conquest, but that works too that in her hubris she went to hunt Sauron and orcs to stop them (lol) only in the end all she managed was that orcs get their own fire land, Sauron who was content to be a smith becomes dark lord again.
Actually, that is not correct regarding the horse. Death rides a Pale Horse. Pestilence rides the White Horse. Death is called the Pale Rider and Pestilence is called the White Rider. In this alone you are mistaken. In everything else, you are correct, I believe. Also, just to be a completionist, Famine rides a Black Horse, and War rides a Red Horse, called the Black Rider and Red Rider respectively.
@@carolthe13th60 Famine/Pestilence are the same, black horse. Red is war, death is pale/ashen and conquest is white.
Usually it goes conquest -> war -> famine -> death.
@@valder8423 You are absolutely right. I could have sworn I was. But Famine and Pestilence are not the same thing as famine represents lack of food and pestilence refers to infectious diseases. Though sometimes pestilence can refer to something that is harmful or evil. The White Rider is also called the Anti-Christ for some reason. He carries a Bow, but I don't know what that signifies. So calling Galadriel the White Rider is a pretty spot on.
This was hilarious, brilliantly made, and somewhat worringly believable at the same time
I think it’s quite ironic that in the original Simarillion it was Sauron who was the beautiful but evil villain, while in RoP the beautiful but evil villain is Galadriel. It seems like a purposeful swap.
Shes not beautiful though she has such an annoying face
Beutiful?
She looks like a snake woman
damn Galadriel scares the shit outta me ! i just hope Adar can withstand her genocidal hunt

@@ZugzugZugzugson wtf ;D

@@echelon721 he quit the show dude.
It really says a lot about the political climate in America (and I'm using America since this was made by Amazon, an American company), when the "protagonist" shows traditionally evil traits that they're trying to convince you are good.. and Sauron the "Villain" is more sympathetic to the point that people are actually rooting for him to win...
or to use a lesser example, in the very last Avengers movie, my audience cheered when Thanos used one of the infinity stones to punch Captain Marvel (one of the putative heroes of the movie, but rendered horribly unlikable due to The CM movie and the trash writing given to Bri Larsen) right out of the movie.
I would say that’s somewhat unfair to the average american, especially given how badly received this was by the majority of the public. Its a small subset of our culture who thinks of this as good.
@Matthew Cloutier a rather small subset that's currently dominating the culture and media, and is only now getting pushed back successfully.
_Wicked , Maleficent, Cruella, Rings of Power_ -- Hollywood are really pushing the female villain protagonist boat out in recent years.
@harbl99 I'll be honest I did enjoy Maleficent, it had it's problems but I think it was slightly better handled than other more recent movies
In a world of insanity, incompetence and evil are often indistinguishable. This is show is an example of both.
I’ve truly never laughed so hard at a character analysis before, but this was truly a work of art. In not clown world, the alternate timeline where entertainment has not been bastardized and corrupted, this character analysis would be seen as pure parody and comedy. But once you truly hear and see the parallels, it quickly becomes a thesis worthy of legitimate philosophical and near existential analysis. God bless you despot for your work here.
I predict this channel is going to blow up with how consistent the quality of the editing and the comedic genius of his delivery.
Echo.
Some people say the actress's acting is wooden, but this might be on purpose, psychopaths will often appear emotionless to mask any emotional vulnerabilities, but will only reveal vulnerability when it benefits them.
you missed another great moment of the writers foreshadowing Galadriel as this monster. in the scene of her as a child, her boat is ruined by some kids throwing rocks at it, and her brother Finrod tells her that rocks sink into darkness, while boats float to light, and the only way to know which to follow is to touch the darkness. this is expertly called back on in the scene where gladrieal is on a boat, almost reaching elven heaven, but she jumps down, sinking to the dark depths of the ocean. this is capitalized on even more, as due to this action, she encounters sauron, the light trying to guide her away, but she is too far gone, with constant imagery of darkness used for Galadriel, while sauron gets bathed in light.
I made that point in part one of this video (Galadriel is a psychopath).
That demon galadriel segment had me in tears 🤣 I'm sorry but I you can't take her seriously like ever
Gotta love it when Guyladriel says "You will die because of me! 😡" when she and discount Sauron are the only one's that are left on the sea
This is so crazy. The first time I saw the scene between Galadriel and Adar there was something about it that made me very uneasy. Something so dark and disturbing that I could not believe that this monstrous character was actually being sold to the audience as some sort of hero. Someone so inherently evil can not be offered any kind of redemption. What awoke in her was not the result of her brother's death, but something that has already lived inside her and was simply waiting to come out. I knew somewhere I had watched something that made me feel the same way.
After a few days I remembered. There is a scene in a film called "Come and See" One of the final scenes shows a German officer, captured during WWII. While being interrogated he reveals his twisted ideology and the reason he saw fit to murder kids. "Because all the trouble starts with the kids" he says. "Your nation doesn't deserve to exist. Some nations have no right to a future" "Your nation must be exterminated. We'll carry out this mission, if not today, then tomorrow"
That's when it hit me, why my dislike for this character was so unlike any other before. Usually, I am simply annoyed by badly written female characters. My reaction to this one however, was so visceral and repudiating and I could not figure out why. Now I know, and I am not the only one that's seen it.
The worst part is that the entire show, the writers and show-runners actually wanted me to believe that this is some kind of hero. They wanted to implant a twisted , corrosive and vulgar idea in my head. Where exactly is this propaganda piece leading to? While I do not believe it was all intentional, because that's giving them way too much credit, I do believe that this speaks to the subconscious ideations of the people that created this. Much like the fantasies of a mass shooter.
A lot of people had a similar reaction to Galadriel, she is easily the most unpopular character of 2022.
it was 100% intentional.
Even if it wasnt intentional of the writers, it is intentional as a general message: postmodernism. (And they just became 'useful idiots' for it).
Postmodernism, now also known as woke, critical theory, progressism, and many other names, has one specific, explicit and defined goal: corruption, dismantlement, queering (yes, the actual definition and how it is used in the various 'foundational' texts, is 'to make crooked, to contort, corrupt and overturn').
Of old morals, of old archetypes, of old values. Good things? They are from the 'sexist oppressive heteronormative patriarchy' (verbatim) and must be broken down no matter what.
Aesoph's fables? They have to go.
Old saying and 'common sense'? They have to go.
Morality? oh that HAS to go, especially since its whats in between what they want and themselves.
All the safeguarding, safety and stability that we took millennias to accrue, consolidate, conserve? They have to go in the upcoming cultural revolution (the red book rearing its snake head from the cracks once again), to make way for the new world to come.
It sounds insane when you breach the subject to normal people, and thats another way they feel safe about doing all of this.
"A plan so insane it might just work, because who is going to believe the whistleblowers?"

@@Apostate_ofmind Instead of giving it a false name like "postmodernism" just call it for what it is, freemasonry.
@@christianriddler5063Its just communism, plain and simple Marxist ideology applied to culture. Erode the values of society so that the people are reliant on the government for everything, and then take over the government while everyone is foudationaly lost. Most times the people who spout this nonsense do it in the opposite order, but you see it time and time again. At the end of the Reign of Terror, they tried to establish "Reason" as a God (The Cult of the Supreme Being). In Russia they encouraged people to turn on their very own families. In China they are afraid of any mention of their own history or folklore, that they've tried to bury it in places. That's the reason why ghost movies and talking animal films are banned. Point to a communist country and you'll see similar issues.
The trues is: Galadriel is the reborn Morgoth.
That would explain a lot.
This is a way of subconsciously programming the masses to normalize psychopathic behaviours through the main characters. There is an implicit bias to root for the protagonists, regardless of their faults. However Galadriel has all the telltale signs of actually being the antagonist - being proactive instead of reactive, failing to learn anything but rather having an inverse of the heroes journey. In her eyes there is no redemption, no peace and no sacrifice of one's self for the greater good. Just death and destruction to satisfy her own personal needs in spite of everything and everyone else.
I like not only how seriously this video takes itself, but how valid it is. This is beyond a shitpost... this is a legitimate exploration of the themes of Rings of Power and how they parallel the darkest corners of the minds of serial killers and genocidal madmen.
And let us remember that this travesty of Galadriel is not the Galadriel of Tolkien canon. I say this because I am afraid that people ignorant of Tolkien’s legendarium would believe this is the real Galadriel. They have conflated Galadriel with her driven cousin Feanor.
1. Feanor wasn't in the Jackson movies and therefore doesn't exist from the writers' perspective.
2. Feanor doesn't have a vagina and therefore doesn't exist from the writers' perspective.
@@SGresponse 😆 You made me laugh so much my Diet Coke went up my nose 🥲
Holy shit you're right, this galadriel IS like Fëanor, she must've sworn a dread oath too. also when does she murder half the elves to get to sauron?
@@snowdrop9810 Except lacking any of Feanor’s greatness. All we’re missing here is Galadriel bullying her husband and daughter into taking some ridiculous oath of vengeance.
@@alexw1698 Yeah, Feanor was not a sociopathic murderer, he was more of the mad scientist driven to accomplish at all costs.
I disagree about Sauron as a hero, but I strongly agree that ROP Galadriel is a psychopath. She has so many of the traits of psychopaths, its quite disturbing. These include lack of empathy, a total lack of conscience, a tendency to be manipulative. the use of violence if other methods to control others or enact her will fail, and dishonesty. She pretty much lies continually throughout the series.
Being manipulative is a major characteristic of psychopathy and according to what i have read and heard, distinguishes it from other psychological conditions such as narcissism or sociopathy. Sociopaths are not generally manipulative and are not good at hiding thier true nature- psychopaths are. It pays to mention at this point that some psycologists think there pyscopathy is more common than we think, because the vast majority of psycopaths are not serial killers, or even violent. They are simply people who revel in having power over others and don't have a consience: many are believed to work in big business, politics or the movie industry.
Galadriel manipulates everyone. She manipulates Halbrand, but I argue her worst manipulation was of Miriel, when she won her over with a pretense of humility and compassion in Episode 4-5. She did this by pretending that she was on her side and wanted to help Miriel save her people from destruction after she learned about Miriel's visions of the great wave destroying Numenor.
This was done to convince Miriel that the only way to save Numenor was to obey her and provide her with an army to go to war on the Southlands. The final stroke was when the White Tree shed its blossoms, which was interpreted as a sign of divine disfavour for Miriel sending Galadriel away without an army.
Now, it may have been a lazy deus ex machina, but I almost think Galadriel herself might have made that happen. She has magical powers after all, and its very convenient that the Valar themselves appeared to be assenting to her plan and intentions. A way of scaring Miriel into compliance when all else failed?
Do I think this was intentional? No. I don't think it was. I simply think that the inexperienced writers believed the way to create a "strong woman" was to give Galadriel all the traits of a man, including the bad ones.
There seems to be a pattern with this in Hollywood. Give a female all the characteristics and behaviours that would be considered "toxic" if a man displayed them and call her a "strong woman". Make her unstable, immoral, violent, arrogant, unscrupulous, manipulative, entitled and self-centred, but pretend that her being female somehow sanctifies these traits and makes them "good".
Could not have said it better myself!!!!
This
Great insight ! Yeah , totally makes sense. Guyladriel is a despicable figure , not to mention a spit in the face of Tolkien's work
Yep. I always thought that 'Strong Female Characters' displayed every sign of 'toxic masculinity' you can find.
Sociopaths and narcissists are manipulative too. The most manipulative of all are IMO the narcs. Psychopaths are emotionally flat. They are kinda robotic. They might be manipulative to achieve their goals but there is not that malicious, childish subtext to their manipulations like in narcs and sociopaths. They just don´t care.
Sociopaths and narcs are more emotional, which is most obvious when things don´t go as they wish. They have meltdowns like little brats, the psychopaths don´t.
This is the best video critiquing this series out there. Well done.
This analysis is so spot on I was left slack-jawed at the end. Bravo sir, bravo!
I don't what is the worst: that either they did it on purpose, or they can't even see that their "hero" is actually an incarnation of evil.
Both are equally worrisome
Both are equally worrisome
how did they managed to make sauron the most manipulating scumbag of LOTRs universe the good guy
By creating a "mystery box" around him, and then ignoring the lore. Annatar helps the elves create rings of power [something Sauron can no longer do] which he then distributes to men and dwarves. The 3 Rings of the Elves were created after Sauron was discovered to be behind the crafting of the other rings, and so were less tainted [although not completely free of his influence].
Myster Box writing is lazy, but easy, which is why its so popular among those with no talent.
It was easy for the writers. They simply took their own personal beliefs, values and convictions and applied them to their main protagonist.
The moment he showed Amber Heard's face while talking about evil was the moment when I burst out in laughter
They tried to make a flawless female character so arbitrarily flawless that they created the pure evil which they wanted to destroy. Ironic, actually.

Great analysis. If only the writers gave the same attention to detail to the actual show. It always stood out to me that Galadriel essentially brought Sauron out of retirement, and we are supposed to think she is the "good guy" so to speak.
This video is a goddamn masterpiece. Well done sir.
I've watched my fair share of videos about this "show" and this one's second to none.
".....sees her for what she is, the antichrist." Pure gold.
True craftsmanship
simply amazing farse! While RoP is just horrible because it's bad, the writing in this video truly elevates what mistakes it made, to the comedy level!
Okay, I am only 2:47 in and I am laughing hysterically. I've never seen a more true assessment of this character.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your comments here and on the ROP are spot on and funny AF!
I Still laughing about the black hobbits dialogue!
I can’t imagine what Tolkien would have thought of what they did with Galadriel.
He's very likely still revolting on the tomb has it's still a fresh wound deep one too, I wonder what his sons thoughts are on this crap, and fun fact one of Tolkien sons was actually on the last movie of the return of the King, he was on osgiliath giving weapons
Imagine.. the people who made this series unintentionally showed their own character while they tried to display "good" and "evil". They showed us THEIR interpretation of good and evil and thought its clearly visable. And yes it is visible.. but not how they intended. Its visible for us that THEIR good character is pure evil... and THEIR bad character is good. Like in real life where the social justice warrior and gender ideologist are the real evil we have to face, while they say that they are fighting to the good. This brings to light what we all knew in our hearts and souls.
Because this is what these new idiologist people do.. they turn everything upside down. Girls are now men.. men are now woman.. kids should have adult rights.. people with no expertise should get high value jobs, white people should now be ruled by black people etc. And here they showed exactly that.. they unintentionally turned the whole LOTR inside out and made the good people evil (also shown with the Hobbits, that are ruthless and let wounded family members alone to die and then even make jokes about the dead!!). But in the film makers they are cute, friendly and GOOD !!!
They dont see what we see. But with that series they showed their true colors.
Everyone in politics thinks they’re the good guys when in reality we’re all living in a world of villains.
exactly most of the writting is a subconsious projection, you write a story of your ''ideal world''
peter jackson said it in the end, he didnt want to write his own version of lord of the rings, but tolkiens, so what we saw in the original trilogy was the world and projection of Tolkiens real world not perfect cuz it needed to be compact in 10hrs but closer to what his world was, and here in the Rangs of Power we see the pure cosmos and story of the writers themselves! cuz its their version not Tolkiens!
Wow this is spot on 🤣 Tormentor indeed, and you managed to bring forth more psychopath features than I discovered already.
Whats worse is how it further mocks tolkein. Tolkien struggled with writing the orcs at the start and he couldnt bring himself to not give them souls or make them pure evil because of his christian view on how all living things are the creation of God and not a mistake. He would eventually write the scene where sam hides after shelob stabs frodo and the orcs who find him talk about how they want to leave and be free to do as they wish away from the lash of Sauron. To tolkein Orcs have souls and are simply an enslaved race who never had the choice of being free and only in subservience of a dark lord and never being given any kindness only given to them by Aragorn after the War of the Ring who gave them lands to remain and did not lead extermination crusades as the elves did in the earlier ages. Tolkien would be distraught at how the orcs are treated as a simple thing that only deserves to die when all he wanted was to show how they are not pure evil they were never given a choice but slavery.
Another reason for us to be grateful that the og lotr trilogy was created by people who respected Tolkien and his work
They are evil, and that is that. It's utterly pathetic if people can't stomach orcs. They're just the supernatural bad guys, end of.
When in the novel are we meant to care about orcs? A few times, but they're stupid and really just an obstacle. That is how they were intended to be.
I mean lighten up
@@ishmaelforester9825 Im not saying thats how the books portrayed them, its just that Tolkien never liked the idea of a pure evil race, but he never got to do much with it in the books.
The fact these show runners think how they wrote Galadriel was heroic reveals everything you need to know about their own moral character.
I watched first 4 episodes, was lucky to fall asleep on each one. Decided not to continue. I hated every moment Galadriel appeared on the screen. The only two emotions I had for her were hate and disgust. And it grew with each episode watched. Your video puts a psychological basis under the emotions I felt toward this character.
I find it very sad and disturbing that Galadriel not displaying emotions was a creative decision, not inability to act from the actress. We can see her smiling all the time in videos showing the making of the show.
@@rafexrafexowski4754 The woketards see women who don´t show any positive emotions as "strong and badass".
Who writes their main character as completely unlikeable?
George Lucas did it with Anakin, but it was because he was supposed to become Darth Vader. We already knew the ending.
Galadriel is supposed to be powerful, wise, majestic. They created her to be a psychotic bitch lol
@@logicaldude3611 In the creators' woke eyes, a perfect "strong woman" is one that can do absolutely anything, has no character flaws, does not need any form of help from a (usually white) man (who are shown as pathetic), if anything bad happens to her, she cannot get over the grief of it and the hate that it brings becomes her main character trait, villains are meant to be weak and pathetic, often absolutely obliterated by the "strong female" hero and eventually turning into comic relief or a likeable protagonist-like character, the "strong female" has to be automatically accepted by any (female and/or non-white) side characters as a friend even if they have just met her, she has no character arc and stays as perfect as she started as or she has a pseudo-arc that does not actually end with her changing but seems like it does, and finally she has to have no (usually white) male partner/love interest/husband, and even if she has one they have to either be a pathetic loser or end up revealed as evil, going as far as to getting rid of those characters from the source material (if there are any).
All of those rules result in the character coming off either as a tool to drive the plot forward, as a literal plank of wood with no emotions or character traits, or as a villainous, unlikeable b*tch that makes the villain look like the hero (sometimes all three, like we see with RoP Galadriel)
@@logicaldude3611 Anakin was not unlikable.. Wtf? He wanted to free his family from slavery, he wanted to help innocent people and this is why he wanted to be a Jedi Knight. He was inspired by the selflessness and compassion of the Jedi but also inspired by their great ability to fight evil. Anakin was driven by love for others through out the movies. Thanks to Palpatine's manipulations however, Anakin became afraid, fear took him over, fear over losing the ones he loved, especially his wife Padme.
So Anakin became obsessed with finding a way to save his wife from death, his fear drove him to madness and it consumed him which drove him to become the monster we know as Darth Vader.
Anakin is a relatable and human character, he is very likable and realistic. But I guess you are just another prequel hater without any substance or reality in your arguments, just blind hatred for the character because a ton of other people feel that way.

Thanks One Ring, glad you enjoyed it!

This video is 100% accurate. And I really think that they intended to write this character like this.
17:58 was probably my favorite line from this video. There were several other good ones don't get me wrong, but Guyladriel being evil itself resonated with me the best.
this made me laugh for 20 mins. big fan.
Well done sir. I'm surprised you never brought up the Biblical imagery of her and her horse. Her riding a pale horse on Numenor and into battle, the horse ridden by the horseman of death.
That is a damn good point.
Outstanding exposition! The comparisons to evil psychopaths is compelling. These are the kind of videos I love the most. Well done!
Amazing video! I really want The Vile Eye to cover Galadriel now... I genuinely wonder where she would end up in the evil tier list!
I wish I could give you additional likes every time I rewatch a video. This might be my favorite….I’ve watched it 5 times
I started watching this with laughter. Ended it with grave reflection.
Y'know, people have been saying that the heroes of the current crop of media feel like villains and quite a few of the the villains they fight against feel like lesser evil in comparison, or not evil to begin with. And this here is a hilarious parody and all... but it's also disturbing how on point it really is. It doesn't really feel like it's a reach. And it's further hilarious dark serendipity how the Schindler's List scene ends up closely comparable to the Guyladriel-Adar one, most definitely without any intention on the production crew's part.
I don't believe the scenes were meant to be copycats but it's still chilling. Next we'll find out Galadriel wrote Erika about herself.
@@Lonovavir It´s more disturbing because the scenes certainly were not supposed to be copycats. The writers are just so severely mentally ill they think a sociopathic Na*i character is a hero.
I have seen a few "good" characters recently too, where I thought this says a lot about the mental state of the writers. 😅 It's said that sociopaths and narcissists have no insight to how mentally deranged they actually are, even fully believing they are good at times. Yeah..... It really shows.
this breakdown is genius, I see what you did here, brilliant, keep holding up that mirror to them
The symbolism around Galadriel is very worrying. That she's the "good" protaganist is even more worrying. This programming is concerning. Good on you for pointing this out.
Galadriel became the villain as soon they tried to make her the hero.
Nobody with a vibrant brain is watching the trainwreck anyway. Goats have some amusement of feed bags.
reminds me of Khaleesi 🤣. I find folks surprised that their favorite female characters, contain evil. That is human! Humans are a mix of good and mad! @@robertagren9360

I hope the writers of RoP see this.
is it me or does the "smile" she cracks during the horse riding scene with not-Sauron look more frightening than joyful? 😳
I knew it all along. Galadriel was secretly Morgoth's more evil sister.
"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him."
She's not just Göth but she's Col. Hessler from _Battle of the Bulge_ (1965). The constant craving for battle, the ideology of an endless war as a source of joy. Watch the scene when his servant Conrad confronts him with the defeat soon to be expected.
I was legitimately more sympathetic to Adar and rooting for him. That's how awful Galadriel is. He cared more about his orcs than she did her own comrades and it was bizarre
