10 Worst Lord of The Rings Journalist Opinions - Rings of Power Amazon Prime TV Show

- Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power had many awful journalistic pieces from Tolkien scholars and academics written. But the top 10 spam for Amazon Prime's latest tv show are a whole other level of grasping at straws. LOTR is a deep, intricate piece of work but when it comes to the Rings of Power show being written out of appendices, it seems the journalists don't have much to talk about.

8:46 Tolkien, a male writer in a male-dominated era, literally had a female character turn the tides of one of the most important battles fought in the entire Third Age. He intentionally wove that into his story as something not even the most powerful males (neither man nor elf) could accomplish. An elf lord (Glorfindel) who was powerful enough to kill a balrog could not defeat the Witch King, _only_ a woman could (with the help of Merry) because Tolkien wanted to illustrate that even the most insignificant or seemingly powerless people can play integral roles in saving an entire world from darkness.
When taking the time period Tolkien was writing in into account, I cannot fathom why people claim he had poor female representation - it's ridiculous!!
Then you get the story of Beren and Luthien, where the _female_ is the hero of the story who has to save her lover (a warrior no less) from captivity.
Tolkien's female representation isn't forced or cringe (maybe that's what these people want???) but heck, this was back in the 50s when housewives could be electroshocked or even lobotimised for being unhappy in their home situation!! He had _no societal or cultural requirements_ to give women important roles in his texts, and he still did!
It really frustrates me that these people don't give Tolkien more credit for the incredible female representation he _did_ include which is arguably a lot more genuine than a lot of the forced trash we see in stories these days Y_Y
Forced and cringe representation is exactly what they want. That’s why it’s everywhere these days.
@@Blah3210 - I think they want representation only for the sake of representation with no purpose behind it.
Which is how you end up with them using a black female actress portraying an actual historical Viking ruler (the real ruler was a pale-skinned male) _instead of_ showrunners going to any effort at all to adapt the many incredible true stories about powerful historical African women.
They only want _token_ diversity for the sake of diversity, they don't want to actually attempt to adapt any of Africa's incredible history (or the folktales and mythological stories from those regions) and honestly it seems to me like they genuinely don't care about any of that!
Why adapt stories about African folks and African regions when you can just force them into white roles to fill your diversity quota? that's way easier. sigh.
Sorry to rant, it just really bugs me. I'd love to see adaptations of historical and mythological stories from Africa!!!
@@Vexarax There is a purpose behind it. Female representation is only notable if it's front-and-center and subverts gender roles. Similarly black representation is mainly used to replace roles that would typically be cast for white people - even when dealing with historical figures as you've pointed out. The goal is subversion and deconstruction.
I don’t necessarily disagree - and while you did mention Merry but I don’t think anyone could defeat the Witch King without what Merry did with that special blade.
Overall your point is correct, but you pointed out a small detail that everyone seems to get wrong. Luthien did not "go save beren from captivity." They were BOTH captured and they worked together to escape. I have even heard people describing the story as her breaking in to Morgoth's castle and stealing the Silmaril herself and that Beren was a dumb, handsome, and useless.
Two reasons to cancel your Amazon Prime subscription:
1. piracy still thrives
2. VPN subscriptions are half the price of Prime.
Here's my two reasons:
1) Wokeazon is a shitty company.
2) Wokeazon is a shitty company.
Two reasons to NOT cancel your Amazon prime subscription:
1. Not be subscribed in the first place
@@Asraeks damn, you won.
and you dont even need vpn + dont watch amazon propaganda garbage
Even if I were to torrent this garbage (which I won't) I'd still feel ripped off.
I have a top 10 list too. At this point I expect the following -
1. Morbidly obese elves.
2. Gandalf was the bad guy all along.
3. Sauron was misunderstood socialist trying to save the world.
4. Orcs are the actual underdog heroes, simply misunderstood born into slavery and fighting oppression.
5. Any and all credit for anything a male did, go to women who are the real heroes.
6. That there in fact no dwarf men, they are all women.
7. X female hero is the chosen one, more powerful than all the wizards, dragons, Sauron, and Tom Bombadil combined.
8. Male kings bad. All of them. Yes, even that one.
9. Middle Earth is Misogynist.
10. This series will be artificially propped up to be made to be so much more epic, important, all encompassing to make the other trilogies moot by comparison, with non-existant plots/characters inserted to undermine the original content and Tolkien's writings.
I am sure there is more. Feel free to add.
"If I don't see an obese fucking whale in this show then I would feel seriously under represented" - Lizzo probably or some other fat fucking whale I don't really care
11. By episode 8, Galadriel realizes she was truly 'Golondriel' deep inside. Saruman gives her a magical sex change operation.
Baby Gandalf
Arwen is born a man and defies Elrond by getting a set change
Strong independent whamen, who needs no man, femsplaining to al the toxic white males of middle earth.
Fun fact I recently learned about
The queen of Denmark was the one who first drew the eye of Sauron on Barad dúr, sent a letter to Tolkien (although under another name given her royalty) and got a reply saying this was one of the best representations of his descriptions he had seen
I had to look this up and I got to say, she was an amazing artist! I would love a copy of these illustrations!
thanks for info, just googled it. Her drawings are beautiful....wow
Lol, maybe Tolkien didn't include women in The Hobbit, because he wrote this book for his youngest pre-puberty sons? He did add women in LotR. And seriously, I'd rather have 3 well written female characters than 10 badly written ones. But as always, modern woke media is incapable of using the few brain cells they have.
Tolkien wrote so many great women. There's Galadriel, Luthien, Varda, Eowyn, Melian, Yavanna, Itarille, Finduilas, Celebrian, Aredhel, Miriel, Indis, Lalwen, Haleth, Morwen, Arwen, Tindomiel, Inzilbeth, Nimrodel, and so many more. These people only think about the most famous ones.
@@gelgaputan6423 plus Hobbit women!
@@f3ynman44 I know! Bless Belladona, she's awesome. Primula was considered a daredevil for liking boats. Bilbo was scared and annoyed of Lobelia.
@@gelgaputan6423 afterall, Lobelia is so powerful that Bilbo has to use the One Ring to survive her presence!
@@gelgaputan6423 and Varda was the one whom Melkor (Satan himself) feared the most
"Elves are being described as always flawless"
Celegorm, Curufin, Caranthir: "Hold our beer"
Not to mention Feanor himself!
@@midora588 Yeah, they didn't have a great track record. You kind of think they're a bit hypocritical about the weakness of men. It wasn't as if the Sauron's approach to Numenor wasn't already perfected by Melkor with Faenor...
And Thanduril
And Iorweth...oops, wrong universe.
Elu Thingol was an asshole sometimes.
The only good thing created by the Rings of Power is the high quality rants of LOTR fans
As a non fan, I've learned more about the lore in these past months than I did growing up with the Peter Jackson films.
@@censored1080 "For lore to be digested, it has to be torn apart first."
- Gandalf probably
" A really low bar that's also far too high", lol, I'd not heard that one before, very good.
I love how they keep banging on about little miss "piss & vinegar" Galadreal herself as being Young, angry, hot-headed & brash... Despite her not being in her early 20's but rapidly approaching her 2000's
I mean come on if you haven't found yourself in over 1500 years and are still angry, brash & full of piss then honestly you're not really going to change much over the next age... Yet somehow were supposed to believe miss piss here will grow to become the wise, wonderful & beloved elven queen she is 1000 years later during the events of the Fellowship of the ring!!
I really do hate to see "angry hot-headed" female characters. They are just frustrating to see as "strong". I would like to watch wise and feminine graceful Galadriel than some 2000 year old teenager with anger issues. Ffs this is just stupid.
If they wanted to see some really angry spiteful woman character then they should have included Tar-Ancalime. She was really bitter towards men. She even forbid her serving-women to marry. Her two granddaughters who were supposed to become the first in line of succession refused in favor of their brother. Those two disliked and feared Ancalime.
@@gelgaputan6423 I wonder if that was a Charles Williams problem creeping into Tolkien's fiction.
I've noticed nothing LotR in the trailer, because it is not LotR.
Whatever happens, and I'm not holding out much hope that things will improve, far from it. One thing that I'm absolutely sure of, is that there isn't ever going to be a world where woke movies, shows and culture are as successful and beloved as those of the past! No amount of fake news, endorsement, financial backing, shilling from grifters, emotional blackmail, smears, identity politics, and mental gymnastics, can change this!
I find it creepy when people want to humanize and relate to the bad guy that happens to be a powerful supernatural god-like being. Like it has human qualities. I’ll tell you. When you are a rebelling angelic being you ambitions are not of the physical realm. Nor is it sexy.
But Sauron is going to be a gay, pansexual, non binary, furry who loves ring pieces 🤔
This was done with the recent adaptation of The Stand. First The show had the entire first act, when the superflu Captain Tripps turns the world to shit, in flashback. Then they make Harold Lauder, the rape-y asshole who is barely in the book and deservedly dies in an explosion, the focus. It speaks to the morality of “current year” writers when they shine the spotlight on people who are hungry for power for its own sake be it Ms Marvel, Rey, or Scarlet Witch, and call them “heroes”. The myths and tales of antiquity aren’t just things old, dead white men wrote down. They were cautionary tales and morality plays.
Extremely creepy. Sauron may appear "sexy" as Annatar, but underneath that beautiful exterior is an insatiable black hole that will devour everyone and thing that has the misfortune of coming too close. This I say from personal experience dealing with someone like that. Younger me would have liked to think I was smart enough not to get caught in a web of seduction, but I was lured in HARD. I don't like the idea of glorifying that kind of person.
*edit* added insatiable because my brain fog temporarily forgot how to use words.
i couldnt help but notice in the one article talking "the 10 great female LOTR characters" in the article the "journalist" states that harfoots were what hobbits were called during this age, instead of it being one tribe of hobbits along with fallohide and stoors. and also that there were no interactions between hobbits and the other races until some time into the third age.
It's amazing how little LotR vibes this show is giving me. Even the title thing on the wood board. Like, not seeing the Jackson LotR font there makes it feel very un-LotR, lol. That was the first thing I noticed when I saw "LotR - The War of the Rohirrim". The original Jackson LotR font made me instantly hyped for a new middle-earth adventure. It WAS LotR. I know Amazon is probs not allowed to use that font, but still. Such a small detail already connects me more to LotR than Amazons whole trailer.
Dude, I'm not gonna lie, this was the highlight of my day. You brought a smile to my face and some great content, thank you, sir!
Just like how people want to flirt with Communism 'because it's never been done right', we've got self-proclaimed fans wondering: yeah but was Sauron wrong? Why didn't they give him a shot at subjucating all of Middle Earth, what's the worst that could happen? Maybe he ought to show us how he would dominate over everyone.
"Their antagonism towards Sauron is indicative of a deep seated hatred of the gays. Because, guy who played Sauron in the movie he was gay." - Soy Jurno
"It only killed 100 millions last time, lets give it another try"
Sorry, but, WHERE do you see "Communism" in this? I am intrigued
Capitalism has been responsible for more death and suffering than communism could ever dream of; that's why capitalist countries are constantly destroying any leftist governments and replacing them with people like Pinochet. All the resources and money are funnelled to greedy people like Jeff Bezos, who uses it to ruin society and culture and destroy beloved stories (not "franchises", STORIES) like LOTR. So for the love of God, please stop simping for capitalism when it's literally responsible for everything wrong with our society.
@@mgntstr The issue here is that Amazon is literally the final stage of capitalism.
Actually I'm looking forward to September 2nd. I'm gonna be so drunk and have so much fun watching this hot mess and ranting for hours, that will be a core memory for all of my friends.
A reply to these journalists;
1) read the books,
2) watch the Lord of the Rings Trilogy of movies
3) there's a strong possibility even The Hobbit trilogy will be better than Amazon's Rings of Power
Why do you ask?
1) they have bearded dwarven women
2) a diverse cast in Laketown
3) Smaug would like a cameo🏴
These people need to be FIRED out of a cannon......
To be fair, casting Tolkein elves will of course always be incredibly difficult. That's because he wrote elves that were deliberately better than humans in every way. So how can a person display that? Honestly, the only person that I really thought perfectly captured an elf was Lee Pace. Kate Blanchett was really close, but Lee's screen presence was just unbelievable. But I woud appreciate at least a little more effort than this show seems to have put forth, lol.
Well... they cast that piece of cardboard called Marton Csokas as Celeborn... They totally gave up on that one...
Just cast good looking sixteen to nineteen-year-olds.
“Its disgusting and its certainly not a strategy I’d use” had me dying. Your commentary is great, super well spoken. You’ve got me watching your thor videos and I’ve never cared about the MCU. Major props
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If amazon really wanted a human-elf romance then they should have used Mithrellas and Imrazor. Their story is so interesting and it's actually canon. Mithrellas would have been absolutely devastated the first time she met Imrazor because her best friend Nimrodel just died. I would have loved to see that. Instead we get ocs which doesn't make sense because they've already compressed the timeline because they don't have the time to give us all the characters and yet they have the time to squeeze in original characters?
I am not sure we can really call that "canon". Elf-Man couples are extremely rare, and each have had a profound effect on the fate of Middle-Earth (I needn't list them, we all know). It is said to be the "tradition" of the house of Dol Amroth to claim an Elvish ancestor, but this seems wildly out of place for a number of reasons:
1) as stated, Elf-Man couples are rare and have a profound effect: we hear nothing of this sort about Mithrellas and Imrazor.
2) the children would've had the choice of the Half-Elves, but this is not recorded anywhere.
3) It goes against the customs of the Eldar: Mithrellas not only leaving her husband, but also her children, behind to never be seen again? Elves married for life (and the life after reincarnation too) and child-rearing was typically the happiest time of their lives.
We can rule out that Imrazor raped her, since Elves can voluntarily die in situations like that, but we should probably look at it more of a tradition, rather than a facT: similarly, if one is so inclined, compare the Imperial House of Japan's claim/tradition of being descendants of Amaterasu-Omikami.
@@adde27 but still the fact that they exist in Tolkien's writings is something. I would have loved to see how their story went. Tolkien had numerous drafts and his son Christopher picked what he could to publish in the official Silmarillion. Christopher regretted using both Aredhel and Ar-Feinel as the same name for Nolofinwe's daughter.
My point is that, Tolkien had many drafts, I don't think anyone would have rejected the show so much if the producers actually used the drafts instead of creating something out of nowhere. That's what I feel at least.
@@adde27 Tolkien allowed Legolas to give credibility to the tradition. But it is Third Age anyway, and thus not in the theoretically intended scope of this series.
The choice of the half-Elven was only seen in action in Elros and Elrond and their parents, and either choice set one aside from ordinary Men, as Elros lived 6-7 times as long. We might project that it would have been a choice for others, but it's really a question that Tolkien never thoroughly worked out.
That being said---we don't need fanfic of more of it.
@@josephfisher426 True, that line by Legolas always seemed an oddity to me: Tolkien edited his work numerous times throughout his life (even after publishing), so I am disinclined to think he missed it...
And in Arwen and Elrohir and Elladan: the line of the half-elven very neatly combine. Since Eärendil (first gen half-elven, like Dior) had to choose, just like Elwing (second gen half-elven), it really seems odd that any hypothetical child of Mithrellas and a Man would not get the same choice.
@@adde27 The Galadriel/Amroth section of Unfinished Tales suggests that Tolkien had several different versions of who Amroth was, and by extension who his people were. That is an additional element of confusion.
I think the evidence provided by Tolkien would also support a more limited view of who got the choice. In this world there would have been plenty of opportunities for mortals and immortals to cross paths. Tolkien only told us about the choice of the "important" ones---the royalty and progeny of the Noldor. There were no reports of Sindar getting together with humans, but there WERE instances of Sindar and humans living in common for centuries, such as in Brethil, and there were other longterm relationships between Elven and human communities such as between Thranduil's people and Laketown. It is possible that the choice of the half-Elven was connected to their contact with the Silmarils or their parents' origin in Aman or their great-grandmother's being a Maia---not just their part-Elvish blood.
I fooking HAAAATE "10 things you missed" or "10 things you didn't know" or any other "10 things you..." list on the internet. But this ....this was funny.
Dude im from Germany, sometimes u talk so fast and i dont understand u and i need to lower the speed but m8 u are so funny, i enjoy watching u every time :D
“…that even a journalist can write them.” Lol’d hard enough to wake up my poor old dog.
I can’t wait to see the dodgy green screen they’ll use for the size differences between Hobbits and Dwarves and Everyone else as opposed of the classic practical and on-the-set moviemaking magic PJ used like body doubles, close ups, and forced perspective. And yes I’m aware Jackson did minimal green screen. Particularly in the shot of the Fellowship assembled.
There's also Galadriel, who is canonically 6'4", being played by an actress of average actress height. Hope they like casting short guys!

What gets me most about that article is that they are fucking lying. Tolkein never said anything of the kind, that is completely made up. The fact that they are lying about what Tolkein said to defend the show just screams that they knkw exactly what they are doing and it is all intentional.
I recently introduced a friend to Coupling and he loves it. Sadly, I have no doubt that a silly Sitcom from the early 2000s will be far better than The Rings of Power.
It's amazing, and it's a great stick to compare how things have changed in just 20 years. Many of the topics about "what people want" etc have switched 180 degrees since then. And there is no way that just magically changed on it's own.
Cancer took my mother's life. I hate cancer above all else. The people pushing for a diverse LotR are a close second.
These Amalgamations Are Essentially Turducken.
That's a lot of -shilling- articles about a series that won't even be out for another 6 months. Could it be Amazon's worried about the backlash? Naaaaaaah.
As a woman, not only do I feel represented in Tolkien's works (although I probably wouldn't have managed to kill the freaking witch king of angmar) but i also had no issue whatsoever relating to any of the male characters in lotr...and some of those weren't even human.
Representation is wonderful when it's done for other reasons than corporate greed.
You hit upon the key difference between normal people and lunatics. Normal people can RELATE to others. Because they are human beings and can put themselves into the position of someone else and understand their point of view or emotions.
But theses people aren't right, they can't relate to anyone, so they require themselves to be REPRESENTED by someone they see as an exact clone of themselves.
That's a horrible idea to pander to.
@@disparutoo agreed!
Imagine refusing to relate to anyone who doesn't share a certain amount of superficial traits with you...it's like people are training themselves to lose their empathy and imagination
Independent of Tolkien's work? Then why bother to associate. I haven't forgiven them for WoT and now this!
70 years ago... Famous women that people knew on 1950
Amelia Earhart, 1920s first female pilot
Eleanor Roosevelt, 1930s ,chair of the U.N.'s Human Rights Commission in 1945
Grace Hopper, 1930s ,a rear admiral in the U.S. Navy
Hedy Lamarr, 1940s, was credited for helping to co-invent a radio signaling device,
Naomi Parker, 1940s, Rosie the Riveter....
honestly, women that Tolkien knew were badass...
Unfortunately the journalists have told us that these people didn't exist and so now history has been changed via the sheer force of their will. They shall now be stricken from the record to preserve the integrity of the jouranalistic world view.
@@disparutoo perhaps the truth is that all these companies are just sucking up to those women in power, Vice President etc etc...
Great work as always! Thanks Disparu
Thank you for making all these videos. You've brought us a lot of enjoyment after being so discouraged about how they're going to ruin the show. Zoom in on the section of the teaser trailer that has Finrod in it... I would love to see you do a video about how they couldn't even bother to give him pointed ears for the scene... Such a high-budget, attention-to-detail show...
Here's a prediction: the next interation of Robin Hood and his Merry Men will be Robyn Hood and her Merry Diverse Community. She will be in a lesbian relationship with Maid Marion whose seeing-eye dog will be vegan; Little John will be black and a dwarf, pronouns goose and goosey; after gender-reassignment, Allan-a-Dale will be referred to as Alana Dale; Will Scarlett will be an anorexic anti-capitalist; Friar Xiao-ping Tuck will be a body-positivity activist. Together, they will take from the bourgeoisie and give to the downtrodden proletariat. Of course, King John and the Sheriff of Nottingham will remain straight, white males.
Corporate media at its finest and most shameful. We live in a world where fans hate it and they are shamed, maligned, and attacked. Lord of Dem Rangs: Da Rangs of Power. Epic win.
rapid fired destruction, 🤣🤣
"keep your crack to yourself"
sums up a lot of feeling about this
Man i feel warm inside when I see you have dropped a video.
Love your vids!!! Keep them coming!!!
"Now, however, the movie trilogies are regarded as completely cannon"
Yes, they are immortalized movies that paid respect to their source material enough to be treated as loved classics after all these years instead of political agenda for the years they were made in which makes them get outdated
(Also they misspelled canon)
Finally i feel like im being represented. Love the new love triangle between Patrick the easterling, Tyrone the elf and Gulbrak the orc refugee from Minas ithil who fled from the war to gondor. And thanks to the new stewardess of gondor implementing her new 20% fountaingaurdess law she saved those poor orc's who wanted to fight sauron from the evil men of gondor who commited all those hate crimes against the orc's of mordor. No wonder Anuminas and the kingdom of numenor fell. They were led by evil men who only see black and white. And like other fans im really excited to see how hot sauron is. Not to mention the origin of the rings. Afterall we all know celebrimbor was a woman and why would a man make rings anyway? Clearly a sign of love and compassion in marriage. Tolkien knew his stuff. And dont forget ORC LIVES MATTER!
I think it takes quite the mastery of the English language to write so much yet say so little. The ability to fill such deep paragraphs with so much shallowness has to be applauded...
It might be of minor note but we did see the coastline in the movie, in the third movie when they go to the last elven boat leaving the port. Wasn't that at a seaside port?
Same thing came to my mind.
The saddest thing about this is that I might actually be interested in this if it were an original dark fantasy, but slapping Lord of the Rings on it just kills all my interest
Throwing money at something doesn't make it better. A gold-plated turd is still a turd underneath.
Arcane is VERY good, and is a great example of how to write outside the established lines whilst staying within the canon (amazon would do well to watch it). Anyway, to err is human, but to FUBAR requires a big company with too much money and ego.

Why are they making such a big deal over the Elf-Human romance? Beren and Luthien sired the Half-Elves that lead to Elrond and Arwen. Arwen weds Aragorn. Half-Elves can choose to live as Elves and be Immortal or as Human and to age.
I seem to recall that there was once a time when speculation didn't involve lists.

Top ten things Amazon will get wrong.
1: Black Elves - they were exclusively white... ffs when they Elves 'awoke' the Sun wasn't created till thousands of years later.
2: Female dwarves should look so much like a male Dwarf as to be indistinguishable.
3: Screwing the timeline to fit 3500 years of the second ages into a time frame that a human woud live through.
4: Wizards didn't arrive until 1000c TA so they should not appear in this series. (Unless you consider a little know writing of Tolkien's where he postulated that the Blue wizards may have arrived much earlier than the other 3)
4: Warrior Galadriel... 'nuff said about that..
5: Elf human relationships.. there were only ever three and there was a reason for it. Something along that line that it was fated that those 3 couples would fall in love.
6: Elrond should be a minor character. At the start of the second age he was still very young, and he wouldn't become the wise law master till much later in the second age. The main Elves focused on should be Gil Galad and Celembrimbor.
7: Same for Galadriel.. her only notable feats during this time are founding the realm of Lorien and accepting the Ring.
8: The white armies of the Numenoreans oppresing the people of Middle Earth inc the black Haradrim. Amazon won't have the balls to put that in the show. Also taking people to be slaves and executing them in praise of Morgoth.
9: Halflings in the second age, the earliest mention of Hobbits is third age. While we may presume they were around before that, they were unknown to men, elves dwarves and ents.
10: Elendil the tall. Can they manage to find an actor who is 7'11" to play Elendil?
Disparu did you know Mozza is a New Zealand journalist 😂🤣 hahaha
You're my favourite LOTR guy now (and Gary). Love watching your subs go up.
Mate,. Your jokes are on point here, I actually laughed out loud multiple times. Good job man.!!!
Will exist a great purge that explains the dissappearence of black elves and dwarves?

I'm not making my entertainment company fast enough
Hope you find some more subjects to get near the same amount of views as these LOTR Rings Of Power videos :D !
once again , great video !
If the original creator isn't part of it, it's not canon. That's how I look at franchises. Doesn't make it any less disappointing when they drag these stories through the mud, though.
No other culture on Earth has the comedic pacing as the brits. Really good stuff!
Thank you, :) Yes I really enjoy doing this type of video. I've done this since I was in school, just go through whatever text book we had with us and take the piss out of the pictures or the stuff in them. It's funny that 30 years later I'm still doing the same thing just in a different format lmao.
Love your videos man. It's sad that it's all so negative now but kudos to you for telling it like it is. I'm very worried about the Halo series coming in a few days.
Maybe the women are like the Entwives? They disappeared but unlike the Entwives, they were found again?
"all-male army" aka "army"
Word.
I know a ton of people said Arcane was amazing, but personally, I just couldn't get into it. I think I'm just really jaded by all the current Hollyweird bs. The whole lesbian relationship part gave me a case of atomic eye roll simply because it's become such a trope in shows and movies these days.
I agree. And like Jinx was so stereotypical "mad" character and just frustrating to watch how she f*cked up everything she touched. Only character I liked was Heimerdinger.
I've still not seen it although I'll get around to watching it at some point. I tend to find people who have a similar taste in shows to me and then go off their opinions on what I should try next. It does backfire sometimes. Like those same people all recommended The Batman recently. But even though they liked it, from the language they used I know I wouldn't.
Because I consider things like slow pacing and the catwoman comments to destroy my enjoyment of something, and difficult for something to make up for. So I get what you mean.
I honestly can't look at Don Lemon the elf and take him seriously
Screen Rant making clickbait articles, while not contributing at all to the conversation? That never happened before!
/S
Now for real, enjoy your videos and your commentary. Keep the good work!
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching :) And yes it wasn't just Screenrant I think 3 or even 4 of these were collider lmao.
when journos write about an area you do know well (e.g.Middle Eart,WoT,Gaming) you see how few of them actually know what they're writing about.I hope they're more knowledgeable about Politics and events such as the Ukraine War .Then they worry why paper circulations continue to plummet
Cant watch it. Has it byen taken down?
If you want to play an Elf, you better be smart. And beautiful. But smart is more important.
Utube deleting thousands of comments on Lotr trailer! 4000 today. Was 84K.. today 64K. ! ha 2hrs l8r it is now 62K
I'll have to look, I went to that trailer multiple times and at one point it was 89k comments I'm pretty sure, I mentioned it in several videos so if it's gone down to 62k comments thats a HUGE drop.
I just checked and it's down to 59,986 now!
One of the lists said the movies were "cannon"... Lol
I swear the MCU had to have something to do with this in at least an indirect way. People thinking it's okay to introduce your own characters to a finished work that has had several movies and scholar studies done on it is just beyond me. It doesn't surprise me, for anyone that knows the musical Spring Awakening, I once had a woman say that she wants to direct an all female cast of Spring Awakening. You know. A musical about German boys and girls in the late 1800s and how the pressures of society and their parents drown them into a dark lifestyle in which one gets pregnant, one commits suicide, the homosexuality that some express is repressed so deeply that they must be ashamed of their affections and show the struggles of their lives as they try to grow into adults. Not everything has an extended universe or needs an interpretation on it ffs.
Good to know that mel gibsons the passion is now officially canon
Tolkien's world has ample women in it... they just aren't Adventuring into the wilderness to confront Dragons, Goblin hordes, Orc Armies, or giant spiders. A few standouts did exist, like Arwen, Aoewen, and Galadriel and all three of them were strong women. Perhaps not physically, but in personality. In fact, not unlike the final season of Game of Thrones, one of them, dressed like a man killed the Witch King of Angmar... (e.g. got the Kill Shot on the Night King) Tolkien didn't write in a lot of women who were not going to affect the story... in fact, his editor wanted him to split his book into three books because it was already too long. The Lord of the Rings was one book that he then had to split up. Why, then, would he have written in a host of women who weren't going to be adventuring with the rest of the fellowship to solve thr problem? It isn't a failing of the man or the times, it was just a choice for his reality based upon our reality, in fact. Women do not generally go off and become action heroes. They stay home and mind the children. Almost every person who reads these words is on this planet becasue they had a mom who stayed home and made a baby.
Interspecies Love Triangle sounds like a B-side from Stone Temple Pilots or the Spin Doctors.
so the woke of the rings are going to retcon and woke up the source material....its going to fail bad...
Well, speaking of lore you need to know... let's all remember that with Wheel of Time Amazon released those (quite lovely actually) origin stories with each episode (well... till episode 6 before they realized that THAT lore had actually nothing to do with the show). That was so odd.
'Because we've never seen the coastline on screen before"
BITCH the ending of Return of the King where Frodo sails to the Undying Lands. Where the hell do you think that was? Up the Anduin? In a lake?
Watched, liked, already subbed. Now I've commented for the algorithm gods.
Arwen Evenstar…Luthien Tinuviel…Galadriel….Shelob??? etc etc..Lobelia Sackville Baggins…any other suggestions?
Could you imagine if someone named their new movie the Bible and it had made up stories in it that had nothing to do with events that actually happened.....
The only way you can carry on telling a story by someone is by that someone; you cant just make it up as you go along. Imagine if someone brought another disc world book out based on the Discworld but not written by Pratchett. Even if you used Rincewind, Vetinari, Nobbs, Granny Weatherwax or whoever it would not be from his mind so it is just not real and why they needed to buy the rights for it is beyond understanding to me. It's like they've been told no no and no about having certain rights and they left the shop with a carrier bag because they felt stupid leaving the shop without anything apart from the naming rights (carrier bag)
Full of piss and vinegar xD
Well said Robert Webb!
Lmao good video, subscribed
Elrond was a half elven, the fuck they are talking about with elf to human romance....
This upload has a lot more meaning now than it did when it was uploaded. We can see now how much of a lie these reviewers were talking.
It is completely beside the point that one of the most important characters in the LoTRs was a female (ie Eowyn).
peter jacksons lotr wasnt cannon there was a lot of stuff he left out and changed especially in the hobbit
but atleast he followed the book and didnt add characters that weren"t there
so sad.
Peter Jackson also had a dark-colored Elf in the movie by the way, just in the beginning at the big battle with Sauron just in the beginning of the movie !! Yes it Was a statist but was ok for you people, wasn't it..? I ask myself if you gyus are not informed or is it because a Main character is black colored ? Hmm
I feel u
@@skebbsis i dont care about their color XD its the woke garbage i dislike the most and the fact it looks like they wont follow the books. one of the "scholars" literally said it was their job to change it to fit in todays woke world
@@hoid123 i feel u in that point and totally agree no doubt
I was very disappointed but then instantly gratified when I started watching. Subversion for the win!
It's a quest to see how many levels of listicle we can go before we break the internet. A top 10 list about the top 10 lists looking at top 10 lists? Somebody fetch Batman I need to be stopped.
I laugh at this stuff daily, thanks :)
What love triangle between Tauriel, Legolas, and Filli? Legolas was looking out for her as he was her superior, or at least that was my understanding of the made up relationship.
It was there unfortunately, close ups of his jealous face and the like.
Even when I'm "it's okay, but nothing special" with the Hobbit trilogy, this Tauriel + Fili love story was not very believable. Like yes, love in the first sight can be thing, but with this case I just couldn't buy it.
That romantic subplot was shoehorned in at the last minute by the studio executives. It explains why the pacing of the movie is out of place. I.e., Thorin Oakenshield's death scene with Bilbo was heartbreaking and suddenly it shifts to Tauriel crying over Kili's corpse asking Thranduil why does it hurt so much and his reply, which honestly sounded comically out of place, Because it was real. 🙄
@@elizabethtaylor8428 I would've been happier if they just scrapped her character completely. It would've been less offensive to have no women in it.
cant find Disparu2..........where is the channel you promisssed us??
I cannot get past chad the elfs fucking feathery hair XD Laughable barely scratches the surface of this debacle.
