- The Rings of Power is DUMB. The worst episode so far. Abandon all hope of this show getting better by the end of the season. Since Amazon stated 25 million 'sampled' the premiere episode it has been radio silent. Attacks on fans has died down a little. It's hard to keep up a false narrative with this abomination. The Tolkien Fans are winning.

I really appreciate the writers setting 1.25 billion dollars of amazons money on fire. That was very cool of them
"its about sending a message" - guyladriel as she burns a pile of money
@@qaztim11 They have certainly sent a message! I'm not sure what the message is though. Maybe "Don't watch Rings of Power"
It gotta be money laundering, bald man Jeff got bored of the tropical island style
The biggest waste of white peoples money since the BLM fundraiser
Imagine spending that kind of money on a show and not using at least some of it to hire capable writers.
“It's not about the money, it's about sending a message” - Galadriel, as she burns down a pile of cash.
What a totally original comment!
@@reek4062 I need a shave.
Don’t you mean Guyladriel?
This is like the 18th time I see this plagiarize comnent.
Guyladriel, as she burns down a pile of Tolkien's books 🤣🤣
Its so sad they decided to preach politics and wokeness rather than entertain and be faithful to the lore.
compared to the rest of the tv programs, this wasn't so bad
Fun fact, IMDB (owned by Amazon) is _still_ censoring reviews, even neutral ones that don't mention The Message. They're doing it for She-Sulk as well. For attempting to resubmit my silently rejected reviews I've now been given a stealth-strike that's raised my minimum review word count to 600 . I'm a 22-year member with 1000+ review, and I was there the day the strength of IMDB failed.
Is that why every single review (almost) totally shits on house of the dragon?
@@snuffcarl Given that it has an 85% audience positive at Rotten Tomatoes, I wouldn't rule it out.
Wow..They're corrupting everything
interesting, but there is plenty of bad reviews on there, lots of good ones too. i blame the bots
We're supposed to believe that the immortal and magical elves are going to migrate to Numenor so that they get get jobs as gardeners, cooks, and brick-layers? Dear God, this show is stupid beyond belief.
They aren't elves they are men...who is stupid?
@@TheDennzio lol thanks for your coming out
Well there appears to be a caste system in Numenor.
@@TheDennzio ?? The men from numenor don't want elves to come steal their jobs... Clever writing
@@TheDennzio You obviously
The 10 minute prologue about the forging of the rings of power in The Fellowship of the Ring is a million times better than the Rings of Prime will ever be.
Agreed.....
because more happens in that than has happened in the first half of this clusterfuck....
Hahaha.
That prologue is a masterpiece and when you watch it for the first time it's impossible to not see the whole movie..well, for the first time, 2nd, 3rd... :D
And the music is just legendary, 11/10.
Only truth is spoken here.
Cringe of power
Your reviews are spot on. This show is complete drivel. It's so bad that my 17 year old son who's a huge LOTR fan couldn't sit through one episode. Made it about 30 minutes and then walked out of the TV room. Rings of Power is destined to become a case study in behavioral economics on the dangers of groupthink.
I kno pple gtta take everyone who says they’re a “Huge fan” with a grain of salt but someone like me loves lore videos on CZcams even.. I played most games for LOTR just any content I could find on it I’d eat it up.. Now they spend more money than ever on the franchise just to turn me from it.. DAMN 😢
Be honest with me. How long you been waiting to use that sentence.
My favorite part is when Galadriel jumps on her polar bear voiced by Ian McKellen and yells “for Narnia.” Great writing
seems the bots are getting confused
For me the best part was when Galadriel manages to grab the ancient idol and starts to leave, and then we see the pedestal the idol was on triggers some sort of mechanism and starts this giant boulder rolling! Galadriel had to run like hell to not get crushed!
@@roboatnick6178 lol how many incorrect versions are we going to say on here lol. bad bot bad
@@jacquelinefolguera7841 what is the salary range @ Amazon for someone who writes comments attempting to dismiss any negative comments someone might have about their poorly written and overly bloated show?
@@seeprom same as you bot zero. love all those details lol
The only character in this entire show I felt anything for was that poor snow troll in the first episode who was killed in his own house for no reason by the elves who got there, uninvited. Nobody asked them to come. Other than that, all the characters feel so one dimensional and unrealistic. Especially the woman elf, omfg.
Anyone else notice in the opening scene of this video, Lot's of the men look like they have non pink pussy hats on. Sigh..how did it come to this.
TROLL LIVES MATTER!
yeah
Honestly what they call "season" now only consist of lower than 10 episodes.
Back in Smallville, a season is 20+ episodes.
The snow troll was a better actor than Galadriel
“A rock sinks because it looks down, a ship floats because it looks up.”
“The sea is always right.”
“Lies so deep that even rocks know them.”
“CoNfLiCtEd!?!? ShOw Me YoUr KiNg!!! TheRe Is A TeMpEsT In Me!!!”
“A dog can bark to the moon, but can’t bring it down.”
“Our hearts are bigger than our feet”
Make it stop please. In this show the orcs, who previously ate themselves when being hungry, treat better their dead than the ripoff Hobbits who leave their injured behind as bait in case of attack.
"No body goes off trail and no body walks alone (unless they fall behind then fuck them)"
Sounds like Galadriel needs some Pepto.
it won't stop they spend over billion on this trash, they probably going keep showing all 6 seasons, only thing no one will be tuning in, first season is hot garbage
@@kyotheman69 I think working in an Amazon warehouse would suck balls, but at the end of the day they can be proud that they didn't have to work on this thing.
I wouldn't necessarily judge all Orcs based on that scene... they were literally starving, being hunted... Here they're totally in control. But yes, Harfoots are some really cold blooded monsters...
This video really reminded me of the greatness of Cate Blanchett's performance in the LOTR films. She really made you feel like she was a powerful god-like queen who was truly conflicted and infected from the power of the ring over time. So many stellar performances in the LOTR and the Hobbit films. Not so many in this series tbh.
The Rings of Power further makes the fans appreciate how truly beloved, beautifully shot, and written and how well made the original Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit trilogy were.
@@miladrahim5437 LOTR was brilliant. Hobbit was trash.
@@drizzle952 It was trash and it was still better than Rings of Power, imagine that. After watching this, people are going back to The Hobbit thinking "well it wasn't THAT bad...", lmao.
@@GriffithFemJesus True. 😗
Compared to Cate Blanchett's delivery in LOTR, this fair but expressionless Galadriel leaves me cold. Nothing behind the blank expression.
These two writers simply did everything Tolkien in his letters about adaptation told the adaptators not to do :)
- Distortion of charachters - from good to evil, from wise to stupid, changing their goals and their images - check,
- Adding of charachters without anything to do - check,
- Complicating of chronology - check,
- Adding nonsensical allegory (politics) - check,
- Adding not needed, nonsensical magic (magic signs and magic swords) - check,
- Adding nonsensical fight scenes - check,
- Not focusing on any of main moral themes of the books,
So yea, what an acomplishement :D
The thing is, looking at Galdriel, there is no way of telling that she is an elf. She just comes across as a badly acted human.
It's even more true of most of the other elves. At least Galadriel is passingly pretty. Black legolas and his companions (easily sacrificed white dudes, ofc) all literally looked like regular human men with very slightly pointy ears. They all have short hair, when elves are known for having long straight hair, and they have this gold aesthetic to everything when the elves in lore are pretty much opposed to gold, preferring silver, since gold is often a symbol of corruption/greed. It's integral to the whole story with Smaug and the fallen dwarven city about how greed for gold is a perilous mentality. The same is true for Elrond and Celebrimbor.
This and i dont think that elves in Tolkiens Saga visibly age either after they have grown up, like you see with Celebrimbor. They are immortal after all.
They have not seen what we have seen. The books
What about Legolas? He doesnt have the elf glow you see in other elves yet is widely accepted as pretty BA. Im not a fan of the show but yall knit pick a little too much. There are plenty of elves that are rough around the edges in LOTR.
@@josephsilverman2568 good point, (no pun intended, elf ears) but Legolas is a wood elf, not royalty descended from the Noldor (correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Galadriel is Noldor)
The true Galadriel would:
- Know what lies inside the hearts of everyone around her.
- Inspire loyalty and devotion, up to a near religious-level. Her men would march upon the bowels of Angband itself if she asked.
- Her very presence would inspire awe, fear and love depending on what you have inside yourself.
- Being one of the wisest and oldest beings, her patience and calmness would be something of legends.
- Would definitely not look like she is in a decade long constipation.
I can only name this amazon jest "not-Galadriel" or 'Karendriel'.
Sounds like your vision of the "true" Galadriel is a Mary Sue
@@GiI11 only if you don't know what a 'Mary Sue' actually is, but nice try
@@GiI11 Everyone seems to call women either Mary Sue or Karen. You didn't do it but do you know why our culture has become so misogynistic?
@@gerbenhoutman9348 because there are a lot more mary sues and karens nowadays. duh
@@gerbenhoutman9348 Because your culture made people become misandristic and racist against white men, so the defense mechanisim of your white men is to go misogynistic and racist too.

And your judgment on others, by the way, is unnecesary.
When I was in high school, I knew this kid that loved to "write" fanfiction. The problem was, it was nothing but plagiarized scene after plagiarized scene. They had seen something they liked in another story and copied it directly into their "story" and called it their own idea. It was usually terribly dull and extremely predictable... glad to see they are doing well for themselves.
I feel the kid would be insulted by that comparison.
Lol that sounds like Tarantino
LOL awesome setup and punchline 😂
This comment is an art
No one deserves to be compared to the ROP writers. You take it back.
The Fanrond: "Cast it into the fire! Destroy it!"
Amazonildur: "No...".
People like Trevor Noah and Whoopi missed the entire point fans are making when calling out the 'diversity' in Rings of Power.
There already was diversity in Tolkien's books. Amazon ignored it in favor of making characters up.
Almost like they don't actually care about 'diversity.'
They are not missing it, they just don’t care
Well put!!
I think if you go to Whoopi for Tolkien opinions, you got some serious problems you need to work out. 😂
They said they did not add them on purpose becase the Haradrim and the easterlings were portrated in a negative light in Tolkiens works, and ofc people of color must be portrayed as good.
What they care about is diversity seen from a “progressive” lens. Real diversity would force them to include cultures that are in opposition to their own. They can’t themselves hold two differing opinions and have them coexist, so they have to artificially implant it and twist things to fit their agenda.
It's insane to me that they can make something this bad and then have the audacity to claim that it's "the novel that Tolkien never wrote". To be that arrogant and that incompetent at the same time is so far beyond my comprehension!
You don't care aboot Tolkien. It's made for you
Imagine not understanding the English language. Do you know what "based on the work by" means?
@@reek4062 sorry to piss on your fire but the audience of people who dont know much about Tolkien is orders of magnitude larger then Tolkien nerds.
It's terrible writing, just imagine if it weren't. We should be glad that progressive rac**m and se***m got packaged in such bad entertainment, otherwise people might have liked it.
Well, technically they are correct. Tolkien could have never written something this bad. If he did, we wouldn't have Lord of the Rings.
How sad that Adar is the only one who actually looks like an elf.
How did they manage to butcher elves so much, like why?? It’s not like they didn’t have money for wigs

“I dislike allegory wherever I smell it.” J.R.R. Tolkien
"Most people don't understand the difference between an allegory and an application" J.R.R. Tolkien
Some of these activists are using their biased interpretation to establish their so called fact that Tolkien was a racist.
"I have the hatred of apartheid in my bones" JRR Tolkien
His family lived in South Africa, he was born there. (Merely glimpses at his published private correspondence proves them wrong but they aren't interested in facts)
His son Christopher said you can find personal allegories/meaning in his work but they were never designed to do so.
My point is, Tolkien gave us his beloved languages, that developed and changed in tandem with his diverse, culturally rich world he called a secondary world, of which middle earth is merely one part. This gives his world a depth/relalism other authors are missing. He even rewrote things to fit the lunar circle, as he once wrote about there being a full moon, when he was in fact a day short. Now that is dedicated world building.
It is similar, yet unlike ours. One of his making, describing the nature he loved and hated to see destroyed, one in which magic is steadily fading and will inevitably disappear.
Then he wrote a relatable story into this world he developed until his death, simply because it (the story) wanted to be written.
No specific real live politics, no allegories, it's mostly timeless concepts that stay relevant to readers of all ages over the last decades.
He did not even expect others to share his interest in this secondary world and wrote it for himself and was gladly proven wrong when his books were published.
It shows courage and cowardliness, honesty and deceit, prejudice and open-mindedness, life and death, mistrust of strangers finally leading to cooperation, hope yet no certainty, etc.
All universal concepts in a setting that isn't our modern world or even a 1:1 representation of our past, merely inspired by it to create what he was looking for in english folklore.
It simply is HIS and it should not be disrespected by people claiming to know better/ to be able to "fix" Tolkien's Middle Earth so that it can be like our world.
Amazon/Activists don't even care about his story, only how they can use a semblance of it for their agenda, their messages crammed into his independent world to highlight and to influence opinions in a way he did not intend.
Politicising his work.....
It's not wanted or needed!
And when we say exactly that, they use stigmas to belittle our opinions and paint us as small-minded bigots.
They ridicule that we care about a literary masterpiece to such an extent, (tell us to get a life and basically to stop caring about it at all, because it isn't real, it doesn't matter what they do to it)
Instead of listening to our criticism about how they misrepresent and change things that are not necessary, they say we aren't welcome in the fandom anymore.
They are drawing lines to defend a story that isn't Tolkien and claim it's the new "fixed" Tolkien that's open to all....and don't see the irony of that statement, don't mention they mean open to everyone that agrees with their point of view.
Someone who does not like it, for whatever reason, is apparently against them and therefore on some level X-phobic/-ist, etc
His story was already translated to dozens of languages, well received all over the world, simply appreciated for what it is.
Now they are trying to claim it wasn't so and that they are the only ones able to do make that happen.
That some people could not truly enjoy it before because of the creator of the entire world and story.
It's sad...and I will never complain about the Tolkien estate not selling rights to his works ever again.
Yes. All of this, and they've been ripping the fandom into shreds as well. A few academics started the noise, which led to a fringe movement of tumblr obsessed younger people rushing in and throwing around obscure and very biased sources (such as Mary Rambaran Olm and Helen Young) while causing unnecessary division. And the point of it all was somehow to discredit Tolkien personally while claiming to be "Tolkien scholars", and asking for more adaptations (for profit) rather than fewer.
Its not ment for Tolkien fans, its ment for normies who don't give a fuck and will just consume product. Which is what Amazon does best.
One clarification regarding Tolkien's statements on apartheid, many have used it referring to South Africa. However, Tolkien was referring to the apartheid between the teaching of English and literature, which he believed should be taught together.
@@perrymason4740 Yeah, but they needed approval from that crowd, which is why they flew them all to the UK for a premiere of the first 2 episodes. They wanted the approval and the fandom was already torn apart by woke troublemakers.

The scene in the jail where she just handles 5 dudes twice her size OFF CAMERA was just painful. They just shuffle in there with zero resistance, it was a joke. Also one of the very few moments of the fourth episode I have been able to commit to memory, the whole show so far has just gone in my eyeholes and poured right out some other orifice. The writing is just too miserable to hang on to anything.
My wife and I started watching this series just this week. My wife is a Tolkien-fan-by-marriage. She kept asking if “is it this dumb in the book?” Anyway, at this point, we are watching the episodes just so we can watch the Nerdrotic reviews right afterwards. She laughs so hard she has tears.
We agree. The show is epically stupid, but the reviews are hilarious and on point.
When Guyladriel says “you have not seen what I’ve seen” & Johnny Lawrence yells out QUIET it brought me tears of joy
YES SENSEI

is fine if they do it. The show itself is indefensible, the amateur writing and poor dialogue are laughable!
Their heads would explode if a black actor was cast to play Sun Wukong in a Journey to the West adaptation.
Can't have a black actor play a Chinese Monkey King. That would be offensive.

Yes, none of them called for a diverse cast in Black Panther somehow... Wakanda has pretty tight borders too 😉
But these people won´t change or see their error, just look at them as the comedy program.

And yes they blatantly portrayed MAGA “they took our jobs!” political drivel. Can not believe I’ve watched 4 episodes, but it’s kind of like watching a plane crash. Mesmerizing
Amazon doesn't care if you hate it. They just want the views. By watching it you are validating it. Let Nerdrotic or The Drinker do the heavy lifting and just enjoy their reviews.
They completely missed what turned Nûmenórians against elves. It wasn't jobs, resources, or whatnot. It was immortality. Elves had it, humans didn't. And elves considered mortality as a gift.
The very first episode when the black elf guy was in the tower and the white guy told him to don't feel bad for leaving this place after like 79 years because they hated him back then and they still hate him now and that he should be happy to leave them was the first little woke BS message that was a huge red flag. I don't know if anyone else picked up on that or not but it felt obvious.

Then go write a review...?
Wait, really? I was kinda speculating they would pull this. Gotta go check my account and see if they did this
There is one silver lining about Amazon's The Rings of Power.
Incentivizing fans to return the LotR, Hobbit (not so much the Hobbit Trilogy, but it's still leagues better than RoP), the Simarillion, etc. It's makes us realize that we kind of took these stories for granted, and there's nothing wrong with revisiting them when there's currently nothing better to enjoy.
That Weirdest Cringe fight scene with Guy-lad-riel, I notice something. After the Guard opened the prison door to let Guy-lad-reil out he immediately closed it again afterwards and we don't see any of the other guards opening the prison door again. so somehow magically it just re-opened by itself to let Guy-lad-reil push those four guards in. Talk about a billion dollar production

@@lilacblue783 same, I watch all 6 extended editions every year and never tire. The love of the story and its creator, the stellar talent, the accomplished and well researched world building. Studio static and the occasional duff side plot aren't enough to smother its charm to me.
LOTR is a towering yardstick but The Hobbit movies do a great job of setting up its grandeur.
If it's Tolkien, it's gravy. The Amazon show...well it's certainly brown and runny...
It’s shameful for Amazon for manipulating the IMDb reviews and ratings.
Amazon owns IMDB, so there you have it
The reviews on Amazon are freaking hilarious. It looks like they were publishing the critical 1-star ones in the beginning and then started declining them when it became the majority.
My review got declined because it "contains inappropriate content". The inappropriate content was me saying none of the characters and plots make any sense in relation to Tolkien's lore and the show has absolutely nothing to offer but nice CGI landscapes 😂
I know right? And sadly it's not just Amazon, EVERY SINGLE big budget movie and series for the past 5 years or so has thousands of bots rating 10 stars. It's probably an established business by now, "Gold package will get you 5 thousand 10 star reviews and 300 hundred fan comments praising it", "Silver package 5 thousand 10 star reviews..." etc. I used to know clearly if a show was good or bad right away just by looking at IMDB, now it's meaningless thanks to shills.
The reviews and rating better drain them of cash
I have a genuinely serious question regarding all this woke culture that's hit video gaming and films. It seems that a LARGE majority to such changes are always met with negative feedback, not because people are racist/sexist etc, but because in order to shoehorn something woke in, they often end up destroying narrative and lore. My question is then why do they keep doing it then? There's no way that producers and investors prioritize MONEY and profit over "being inclusive". And you'd think they're taking huge profit hit with all the negative feedback. But it seems not to be the case, since wokeness continues being injected in to all forms of popular media.
Don lemon and potato stelter dropped from CNN, trevor no laughs dropped from the daily show
Wokism is pretty clearly failing in some places
Even just seeing a few clips without really knowing the context, it just feels so Hollywood. The lighting, the makeup, the tone, everything.
There is so much cringe in all of this, from the marketing to screenwriting. I find it hard to believe anyone still treats these mass produced divisivness seriously.
"We wanted to write the story Tolkien never did."

@@Johnny12575 Its in line with the books, just some side stuff isnt, just like in the Hobbit and LOTR movies.

@@Nonreligeousthiestic Nope.
Pretty sure Tolkien didn't write the stories he wrote for the sake of people he didn't know who wanted to write different stories.
In my country there is a stone tower - a small fortress from 13-14 th century. With some nice paintings on one of the inside walls of main room - its depiction of Lancelot and Guinevra story. These paintings are very precious becouse they are very rare for their kind. There is nothing like this preserved that well in all of the country and in most of Europe. They are absolutely gorgous for its kind. The figures of knights on horses are esp. good for the time and region of their make. Historians agree that it was work of accomplished, famous artist. This artist never finished his project ( we dont know if he died or was fired ) so his job was taken by another painter, maybe much younger or without experience. And the second artist made just one depiction on one of the walls of the tower probably before being fired - it supposed to be another knight on a horse but it looks more like an American Iroquois on a dinosaur :D Thats how I think now of Amazon "fixing" Tolkien :D
I can tolerate making up characters and small changes to the story in order to better fit a movie or TV adaptation. For instance adding the tauriel character in the hobbit felt contrived but at least the rest of the movie attempted to stay on plot. I knew things were going to be added simply because they wanted to stretch out a single ~400 page book into 12 hours of movie.
What I can't tolerate, at all, is the omission of lore points when there is no reason to leave it out in the first place. In the first 5 minutes of the first episode they left out the part dealing with Melkor's influence in the decision for the elves leaving Valinor. They leave out the Doom of Mandos (to get galadriel to Numenor?) which was a big influence for the decisions elves make after returning to middle earth. They leave out Galadriel's part in the following the kinslayers.
I feel like these were intensionally left out because we might not feel the same about Galadriel if she was a morally grey character. That was the beauty of Tolkien's work, however. Showing that people who were not perfect were capable of incredible things.
Its so incredibly bad, I am almost lost for words. How on earth can anyone sink so much money into creating such a steaming pile of monkey droppings? Unbelievable...

"There is a tempest in me" is them trying to copy Cate Blanchett's famous speech from her role as Elizabeth I. Galadriel is so indelibly linked with Cate Blanchett that ROP is ripping off her other roles to try and make Guyladriel look genuine!
I was thinking the same thing, when heard that I couldn't help but think to that scene in the Golden Age when she tells the Spanish dignitaries to crawl back to Spain.

@@TheBNCyo Agreed.
And that goes for 99% of all the self-important tv series being produced today ... but then where would that leave all the unemployed actors who were to be employed on the already existing series? Guess they need to find an actual job that services society. A good percent can't do comedy effectively. Even more aren't good enough for stage/musicals. Who knew that playing pretend on tv/film was so utterly useless in the grand scheme of things.
Agreed, the only reason to watch Rings of Powder is to watch it get ripped apart afterward.

Referring to Whoopie as “dinosaur media” is even more ironic since she starred in the flop movie “Theodore Rex”
When Galadriel tried to convince Miriel to sail to the Southlands... Miriel was looking at her like surely you can't be serious. Galadriel decrees; "There is a tempest in me. It swept me to this island for a reason. And it will not be quelled by you, Regent." Then she pulls her dagger, points it at Miriel and says; "And don't call me Shirley!" Pure Magic.

It's sad when people can take a South Park episode more serious than Amazon's mediocre fan fic. Oh wait, no it's not, it's hilarious since Amazon spent a BILLION DOLLARS on this crap.
That's the biggest mystery. I haven't watched the show (just lots of breakdowns of the episodes with some footage from it) but I can't find the money in there. I'm serious. Just behind the characters on the wharf or panning over walls in drone shots, there's nothing realistic looking. It looks like sets built the day before. Compare that to Helms Deep where you could have told me that it was an actual old fortification and I wouldn't have been confident enough that you were wrong to question you. $30 million per Jackson film, even adjusted for inflation, is still the budget for each 1 hour Amazon episode and yet RoP looks plain and unconvincing. Put a ton of stains on stones where water pools, wear more realistic clothing or dip it in mud after they travel, things like that. Millions of dollars and they can't make a physical set look real.
@@matthewmosier8439 my tin foil hat theory is that this is just a massive oney laundering scam.
THe fact that they left their New Zeland studio that they built just for this show, just to build another massive studio in britain for season 2 makes the entire thing more fishy.
@@qaztim11 I agree. However, I think that the location change might double as a method for saving money if they decide to cancel the show. Pretty sure they had test audiences (not the paid for superfans, but the scientific style test audiences used for income projections) and they realized that the show was a flop. That would explain why they went so aggresively with the race baiting as a cover for a failed product.

It makes no sense, even in the context of this show, elves are show to be isolationist and only venture out to quell evil, they have no interest in the lands of the other races.

@@PpierrotT1 You also don't have a room temperature IQ.
The irony is that saying 'the white person must be racist because he's white' is itself a completely racist idea being advocated by a couple of black hacks.
Problem with this is, they (the activists) want black people have access to all Tolkien races, especially the "cool ones" like Elves and Dwarves. Only when you`re okay with this, you`re not racist.
Funny how they always feel the need to say “This is fake” but also “It’s really important that there be representation in this.” Why do you care if it’s just “a fake thing”?
It's all about inclusion ...yet cast a bunch of White folk as key characters ruling Wakanda and watch their teeth explode
Or that Tolkien is timeless….then proceed to explain it needs to reflect our modern world to be accessible and have “representation”!
@@matthewmekonis1790 fun game : go count the number of actors who said both "oh, i loved Tolkien Growing up' AND 'now i see myself so i can connect with the work'..... the two statements are mutually exclusive
Amazing morons even try to claim they need their race to be represented in a show about Elf’s and Orcs. Being neither Elf nor Orc, I loved LOTR growing up and didn’t have to “see myself represented”. Good writing is just good writing. Besides, needing to see one’s race in a show to enjoy said show is a bit racist.
This is just what happens when you have no principles and will say literally anything to make yourself look good even if it directly contradicts what they said five minutes ago. If you notice their inconsistencies they then attempt to gaslight you by challenging your memory of what they said.
Pure gold. We need more terrible programs because it leads to amazing Nerdrotic content.
Your "Sauron! Sorry, Helbrand 😑" never gets old
I swear they just took a dragon age script, repurposed it and called it a day. All of the plot points are dragon age, including the knife ears,the weird orc behaviour and the unknown evil that will emerge and only galadriel can stop it
Except Dragon Age was fun and engaging, with mostly well-written, likeable, charismatic characters. ROP is just appallingly bad.
@@earlofbroadst Well, certainly the first game; the sequels... _eh_
Out of Dragon Age and Mass Effect, I found Dragon Age to be just plain better. I'd buy Dragon Age nowadays, I wouldn't buy Mass Effect.
That's an insult to Dragon Age. I mean, for me, there's nothing to compare ROP to, in terms of awfulness. It's achieved a whole new level of bad adaption.

Hey.. there's a tempest inside her...
Even my fiancé didn’t like it. She called said it was “low budget.” Funny too because she is the person to point out how diverse it is and cheer for that.
Low budget is one thing is not.... although I wish they'd spent the money on decent writers and more decent actors.
Double standards with some people are off the charts. The same people who says no one care about diversity in fictional characters based on European mythology also threw a massive tantrum when people wanted to add diversity to Wakanda. You don't need to inject yourself into everything because no one is that important.
I knew exactly where this was going when they showed young kid Galadriel being a "girlboss" by immediately assuming a fighting position on top of a boy who bullied her. Such Elven much wow.
yep, that was very telling. And as Shad often says, they probably think themselves very clever by including that
It is also a great message that Tolkien would have liked in his story: If someone treats you wrong, just beat the livving hell out of them.
...to consider that they did not even kill Wormtounge at the end....
That scene is annoying as fuck. Pure cringe. LotR never made me cringe.
@@guyincognito959 Well, in books, at the end of the Return of the King, after Pippin, Merry, Sam and Frodo returned to the Shire, Saruman was there destroying it. After they helped organise a rebellion against Saruman, Wormtongue killed him for insulting him far too much and got turned into a pincushion by the Hobbits.
Nerd of the rings gave this show an 8/10 and in the same video he was sponsored by audible. Also he has exclusive access with the actors and he is now interviewing them on his channel (AND DIRECTORS). But we are the crazy ones when we say amazon payed him. Remember, amazon also send him to a trip to london and to the premiere of ROP. And don't forget that other youtubers, like hello future me, have come forward and said that amazon pressured them into giving the show a positive review and when he refused amazon ghosted him. (Daniel greene another youtuber said amazon did the same thing to him but with amazon's other fantasy show wheel of time).
I liked nerd of the rings but amazon payed him 100%. I just hope he was smart enough to ask for money since he has kids and not just access.

Did anyone notice how relationships and friendships in RoP are not valued as much as the original series, and everyone just seems to hate each other? I was feeling that heavily when Durin was having a rage fit, and during several other scenes. Just so much anger….I’m not feeling any kindness and/or love emanating from ANY characters, and it just seems to be getting darker and darker, like there’s no hope, and nothing left to cling to other than bitterness and hatred. I wouldn’t be surprised if I found out Sauron himself produced this heartless series full of inaccuracies, politics, and the feeling of murky faux “optimism” slowly turning into drowning in evil. as the running theme. Not at ALL like the books or the movies. Can’t stand this show, and won’t be pirating it again.
Thought provoking comment - it seems hope is missing from most of these franchise sequels/prequels as is kindness.
Exactly, the nicest person so far is arguably Halbrand- and he's also the one that's acting like a friend to someone (Fake Galadriel), at least a little. And of course he's being set up as a bad guy. I've been thinking that maybe the showrunners just have a very warped sense of morality, lol.
Pffffft.... who cares. Galadriel is RIGHT about stuff. And she gets her way. How stunning and brave she is... I want to be just like her! You know, right all the time and like, always getting my way and stuff!
Do you know any beings that hat their friends and are always competing? Could this be a certain perspective on the world?
Aeryn you pretty much described Leftists. No wonder they make shows that reflect themselves.
This is my first time seeing the "tempest" line. That's one of the cringiest things I've ever seen, both in terms of dialogue and acting. I almost collapsed inward into a small black hole. Oh, I mean "hole of color."
Amazon is full of it.
My 1 star review was also rejected for breaking the guidelines which is complete bullocks. This seriously reduced my trust in amazon and I begin to question other product reviews on its site.
If Amazon is financially motivated to alter or reject honest reviews and has shown to do so, why rely on any of its reviews?
youtuber Chato pointed out that Cringes of Power didn't even succeed at diversity since none of the "actor-activists" are of Asian descent. They can't even accomplish the simplest thing in real terms even when they try.
Garbage will always be garbage no matter how much effort is put into promoting it for people who know Garbage when we see it . Thanks Nerdrotics for this brilliant review 👏
The costumes look like shit they seem soo cheap
Yes, but we all have to become little cute Racoons, then there will be no Problems, right?
Just change yourself. It's your fault you do not enjoy the abuse, you heared the Mob.
@nerdrotic, this how Amazon and Netflix spin the 25 million number, they will say 25 million people streamed it or accounts streamed it. But in their fine print the source line will say 1 minute qualifier. This means 25 million accounts streamed for 1 minute. This is a massive false equivalency to traditional TV ratings.
I'm actually rooting for Sauron and the orc, dragons, and balrog. F#@$ these stupid "characters".
Loving the videos as always sir.
Sauron has more character than any of the other characters in the scene he is in. Yes, that parallel dimension of middle earth belongs to Sauron.
"From her EARLIEST years, she had a marvelous gift of insight into the minds of others, but judged them with mercy and understanding, and she withheld her goodwill from none, save only Feanor." - J.R.R. Tolkien. - Not really getting those vibes here for some reason!
You know what really bothers me when I see this show? The dialogue feels completely wrong. They use mostly modern English with a vague attempt to sound old. But if you watch LOTR you will notice everyone has a way of speaking. It's hard to describe but it is so immersive. This show doesn't have that at all.
Does it seem intentional to anyone else that some of these writers and directors are intentionally setting out to ruin things that a majority of people (of all races, colors, and creeds and orientations) once loved? Or do I give them far to much credit and they are as inept as they truly seem?
Your focus is too narrow; this goes beyond them; to people behind the scenes of behind the scenes.
It is intentional. If you understood the sm0lhaats agenda, that has been in operation well over a century now, you would see it. I would post some quotes but it's hard to get them not deleted. Yuri Bezmenov's interview about soviet propaganda on cultural subversion is very informative though.
They rip-off plenty of money by their terrorism disguised as movie making?
It's intentional, this is neo liberalism, destroy traditional values, myths, and things held dear in order to rebuild it. It's all in service of propaganda.
it's intentional.
The “There is a tempest in me…” diatribe is stolen from Cate Blanchett’s Queen Elizabeth in the highly fictionalized Elizabeth: The Golden Age.
Spot on. Glad someone else caught that.
The producers thought it was a prequel...
I had a tempest in me late last night. Caused by none other than a Jalfrezi and a few bhajis.
Having numenoreans talk about elves stealing their jobs is the dumbest thing they could have done.Instead of their jealousy over the immortality of elves, or resentment at not being allowed to go near Valinor, or fear of death and sickness, it's jobs that everyone hates elves for.Elves have no interest in taking people's jobs, elves have their own realms and own cities, they have no need to go to Numenor.It's clearly Amazon americanising things by making Numenor into America hating immigrants.
9:20 the shots from Bronwyn entering the Tower is the exact same as Eowyn stepping into Helms Deep with the refugees. The dialogs are rehashed but so are the shots. Like the orc licking his blade full of blood. Makes me want to pull my hair out one by one.
They should have created their own fantasy and removed any Tolkien ties and names and tried to make it on their own. It's so pathetic and insulting they needed the Tolkien name attached to this to have marginal success. Let's hope they cancel it after this.
Goldblob calling the Tolkien mythopoeia "fake" and accusing US of not having read the lore it rich beyond belief. It's akin to calling HER un-orc like... Btw, the regent always looks like she's sniffed at something rancid. Maybe a Whoopi...
No I hope they keep going at it losing even more.
I would say it would have done far better if it didn't have any connections to The Lord of the Rings.
They should have done what Tolkien's vision was: create new stories that play in the world he created. But these "creators" know that they can't even stand in Tolkien's shadow so they try and "subvert" the characters he created to mask their lack of creativity.
When being criticized, they immediately counterattack by trying to sell that BS excuse of "why do you complain about our race- and genderswapping? It isn't a big deal." That's an "argument" that immediately contradicts itself: if it isn't a big deal, then why do it when you KNOW that it will piss off the fans?

Seriously, I am a huge Tolkien fan. Loved all the books. And the problem with the show is not the diverse cast(Disa is my favourite character in the show btw), not the changes from the original story, not the harefoot’s accents, not the costumes, but the poor writing and plot. Plain and simple they did not have good writers who wished to delve more into the lore and the characters, but instead tried to keep all the typical fantasy troupes. It’s just a poorly written show, they spent too much money on acquiring the source material and on the sets that they left no money to write good stories.
Tolkien gave us an amazing story, the best we can do for thank him is protect his work
i just don't really care about the race swapping and crap anymore, but the thing that is unforgivable in this show is Galadriel. During the second episode where she bitches to the numenoreans that she WILL go to middle earth... My son turns to me and says, "why did they make Galadriel so unlikable?" I said that is EXACTLY the proble. they think woman power = bitchiness. go figure.
They're so desperate to insert their intersectional messaging, to portray Galadriel as a type in the deconstructionism of femineity and traditionalism. They can't even give her a proper arc in the trajectory of the hero's journey because they'd have to demonstrate her virtues, an internal logic to her behaviors. Were supposed to just unconditionally accept her every action by virtue of her identity and have our minds sandwiched between the double bind of her empowerment and victimization.
Same thing in She-hulk. It almost feels like fake woke. It's sabotaging everything feminism had ever struggled to reach. It's anathema.
House of the Dragon did this a lot better.
@@Vespyr_ their idea of ‘diverse casting’ is also sadly counterintuitive. Goes against what great men like MLK Jr strove for.
Actually this is a good Galadriel. She is supposed to be rash and ambitious. She has an arc, she changes and becomes wise through her life. She craves power but her wisdom is what sets her to be the elf we know and love.

They swung at a target that was just way to big, divide and conquer tactics can't work with a fandom the size of Tolkien's especially when so many of us are so well informed. And because the group is so large, inevitably this swing is going to hit people on their own side and wake them up.

I heard this bit about Numenor being treated as allegory for anti-emigration on FNT and it pissed me off! Story of Numenor have NOTHING to do with anti-emigration or any contemporary politics; it was a story about how man who was gifted with exceptionally long life and who made their island country powerful and influential began to feel jealous of Elves because they could live forever! That was tragedy of Numenor; and not this petty, contemporary whining about current US policy! Just like this scene with bulling of little Gaylladriel - if I was watching it this would take me out of the show because this is not world created by Tolkien; it's modern day America! Same thing was in $tra Trek 2009 by Abrams - there was also bullings scene of little Spock and that, amongst other things made me think that I no longer watching futuristic SF world, but that this is modern day US.
