- Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power episode 5 cast review the episode in a breakdown for Deadline. With comments about the Galadriel and Halbrand storyline, some comments about Númenor and the explosion of the ships before their middle earth voyage. And the Harfoot confrontation with the magic stranger. But there are some strange comments that back up what I said in my LOTR: Rings of Power review for episode 5, it brings out the worst in Lord of the Rings Galadriel. Is Rings of Power worth watching?

I never expected to find the Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power cast and directors breaking down each episode, here are the explanations from the horses mouth and oh boy does it explain a thing or two. Halbrand thinks HE wont survive without Galadriel? It's all entrapment? At least we know all the things wrong with the show were done deliberately apparently lmao. With these for every episode, I have an idea that a few great videos can come from these lmao. But let me know what you think of their comments below and as always, thanks for watching :)
the harfoots are just sauron's fragmented soul that is why they are so evil.
I appreciate your analysis, sir. Keep up the good work! 💪😎
Ah, Lord of the Telenovela.
my idea, which i tagged some tolkien youtubers was to, make galadriel one of annatar aka saurons forms. what if this karendriel is really annatar aka sauron? then we see the real galadriel in hiding&safe with her husband celeborn. thats the only way to save galadriel. maybe they recast her too and she looks more like the galadriel in the books and in pjs movies. u can explain the recasting situation with them saying that sauron kinda guessed how she looked like and took her identity. then put a spell on all people who come into karendriels presences to believing she is the real galadriel. although i feel like they are gonna reveal halbrand is sauron. if they dont reveal who sauron is, this is the way they can fix season 2 big time. because this show is absolutely so terrible. they need a way out.
You just know a show is good if the writers and actors have to explain everything in the show they work on. You think sauron is bad? No! Galadriel forced him into badness? Its that even a word? Who cares because plot points right? The showrunners will tell you what you need to feel when it comes to pass cause you are too stupid to realize it on your own anyways. And thats modern storytelling for you;)
I did not want to believe it. Hearing the writers/actors talk about the characters is actually worse than hearing the characters.
It's probably just as well that they were so incapable of having the show express their obsessions and delusions. They simply assume that they're brilliant and their opinions and attitudes are correct, so of course everyone else shares the same understanding of the world. They're oblivious bordering on autistic.
Wooo! Wooo! My girl Galadriel! - Writer
"Stunning and brave"
Yeah it's just terrible. Reminds me of the blowhards on Talking Dead.
@@majorgear1021 LOL there's a video where the rings of power 'superfan' who says that line admits that she's watching House of the Dragon instead of Rings of Power!!
Guyladriel: "Boo hoo! Orcs killed my brother!"
Halbrand: "I'm sorry for your loss."
Guyladriel: "I don't need your sympathy!"
This 5000-year-old brat is absolutely insufferable.
"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
This description of the true Galadriel makes Amazon's pathetic version even more laughable! She's not Xena warrior princess lol
"She withheld her goodwill from none, save only Feanor."
*Well, I guess everybody is Feanor then.*
Assuming Halbrand does turn out to be Sauron, they've really knocked her intelligence and perception down several dozen pegs, because in canon Sauron-as-Annatar almost never went anywhere near her because she saw through him and could tell he was full of shit very quickly.
Amazon's Galadriel lacks any of that and will potentially be around Sauron for ages without ever realising who he is.
@@insertclevernamehere1186 Feanor was basically the source of nearly every problem on Middle-Earth. He was the one who crafted the Silmarils because he kept demanding Galadriel to give him a piece of her hair even after she said no so he went and crafted Jewels that could catch the light of the trees instead to replicate what had happened to her hair. Silmarils get made causing Morgoth to covet them which leads to the long chain of events that brings about Sauron's fall from grace, the annihilation of Numenor, and so much more.
@@TankHunter678 does that mean that Galadriel could have placated Morgoth with a bit of her hair?
@@TankHunter678 the great Scheme of Eru, just like Morgoths deeds. Humans are the only ones being able to change their and the worlds fate.
I am under the impression that the Harfoots will combine into a giant Harfoot Voltron who will then turn into Sauron. That could be the reason why they are so far the most evil things in the series. Hell even the Orcs buried their dead in the show. And Adar mourned the death of the one he put out of it's misery. WTF is this billion dollar travesty.
STATION!
I would watch it if that happened LOL
By the power of voltron, we will wait for you!
@@The_Invisible_Self LOL isn't it sad? You read that comment and go "hahaha funny jokes that's so silly and ridiculous that..... That.... Omg that actually isn't anymore unrealistic or dumb than anything they've written..." 😂🤦♀️
Sauron being a shape-shifter, he's either GaLadREYel or Nori...
There's only one possibility to save the 2nd season: First scene: Real Galadriel wakes up from a nightmare of hers which includes the whole 1st season!
and discovers her evil twin sister Karendriel was tring to impersonate her while she was aslep
She’d have to wake up next to the real Luke Skywalker and give each other a worried look.
YAY I'm not alone in my wish for this to be so!!!
Really don't even bother. Just start over with Season 2 and act like Season 1 never existed. Never speak of it in show.
They could try re-casting with an all-chimpanzee ensemble.
'Galadriel' is actually Sauron in disguise confirmed. She's so evil
I really really hope you're right. It'd be genius lol
the harfoots are just sauron's fragmented soul that is why they are so evil.
@@quentincollins1825 Sadly, based on the show so far, they don't have that level of genius, but, who knows.
I already knew that.
@@tankmaker9807 You are most likely correct.
“She doesn’t care what other people think of her and I think that’s cool”. I think that’s a very insightful quote. The writers and producers think the audience likes women who don’t care if they are extremely unlikable. In fact, being unlikable is cool. It explains all the female characters in this show.
It's much like their take on morality. They see heroism as 'doing what you want against resistance', which it's really about doing what's RIGHT against the resistance of those who are EVIL. Which is why so many of their 'heroes' seem like villains.
@@HerculesBallsInc If they really think that way, you really can not label them authors or tv producers. Things like the heroes journey is pretty basic, every author reads about that to know what makes a character, a story interesting. Its just that this new breed of writers want to change all rules of story telling and include very weird elements. I havent decided if showrunners like that are just unskilled and crazy or if they are part of mass manipulation program.
It's disgusting and unlikeable
It's who they are and/or who they admire. They're a bunch of Karens treating everyone like dirt and having a strop when the world doesn't love them.
"Take their wheels and leave them" definitely portrays hope..
Reminds me of Pip singing the ancient Hobbit song to Denethor in ROTK: # Home is behind, the world ahead / You know us by the trail of dead / We took all their wheels away / And left them there as helpless prey #
"She kind of forgot about the Iron Fleet." Same energy. And this is the BEGINNING of the series, not the end.
One more fleet, one less. Hah, big deal!
0:07..."We shot that entire fight scene in a day."
Oh trust me dude, it definitely shows 😆 🤣. One of the worst combat sequences I have EVER seen.
They have NO SELF AWARENESS. And you can’t write, shoot or produce what you don’t have.
That scene was a mockery of genuine training. I'm looking forward to Shad tearing it apart.
@@rocix.1647 It’s almost like picking on a cripple at this point. 🤷🏼♂️
🤣🤣 so true
I wish the first season had no fights at all
The actors and creatives trying to explain this show actually makes it worse, when I didn't think it could get any worse.
It's a common belief that in order to get to this point in your tv/film career you had to have some major talent when compared to those that didn't get the job. Some spark that separated you from the rest. Obviously this isn't the case.
It's a wonderful industry! Where else can you be a talent-less hack with a woke agenda and a message to sell and get given $500million to do it? 🙃
It's an insult because they don't even believe in their own decisions or in the story. Deep down they know it's shit.
according to people who have claims of insider knowledge that to this point has proven amazingly accurate.... buckle your asshole, the stupid is really about to hit the fan
Tolkien writes in a letter that after the fall of Morgoth, Sauron had an opportunity to repent; but "could not face the humiliation of recantation, and suing for pardon; and so his temporary turn to good and 'benevolence' ended in a greater relapse[.]"
Insanely, RoP seems to be both referencing this "temporary turn to good" but changing his motivation to fall once again to Evil not to his Pride, but to... Galadriel?
Which makes "Galadriel" into Mephistopheles.
Amazon is trying to overwhelm Disparu with vast quantities of stupid, hoping there's no way he'll be able to cover it all.
Disparu: Challenge accepted
I hate the way the cast and crew sit around talking about this show as if everything is fine and going to plan.
Have the writers discovered the secret of the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field?
he is losing way more brain cells than professional boxers do .
the rings of overpowering (with vast quantities of stupid)
Look out Gir, that machine is sending out deadly waves of stupid!
@@paulmurgatroyd6372 Nah, they are just there to collect the paychecks.
I think the issue with Galadriel being a bad person is due to the writers thinking that women need to act like men in order to be strong and independent…and, they think men are toxic, violent and generally bad…so Galadriel is written to personify the writers perception of masculinity, which makes her a bad person to every normal person watching. Another victim of woke progressive ideology. If she were written to be an actual strong and independent woman (think Ripley from Alien), this show would stand a chance. But, that will never happen.
This is what I’ve been saying, it’s really a perfect comment
Problem w modern feminism they’ve become what they hate and everything is confusing
Absolutely spot on. Wokeness is a social disease
that has nothing to do with progressive ideology, please use your brain
@@guru7968 are you sure?
Sauron disappears for a couple of hundred years but the problem is we know precisely what he was up to because the show runners decided to set the show around the time of the forging of the rings. He shows up in Eregion under the name of Annatar, and starts corrupting Elves, and teaches Celebrimbor how to forge magic rings. However this is the problem the show has created for itself because it's trying to show two separate events - the forging of the Rings of Power and the fall of Númenor - events that are over 2000 years apart. Even the events of the forging of the Rings takes 400 years in total. Rather than dedicate a season to each part of the story and recasting where needed they boxed themselves into a corner.
Yeah they would've been better off using the middle earth setting but a whole new story or they could've done the conflict with Morgoth and his defeat that happened before the events in the show, it would've been a much more interesting story.
If I had been a writer on the show and had to compress both events in one show, I would have made Tar-Palantir the son of Tar-Minastir (having a time jump of 1500 years in one show is extremely difficult, since you have to introduce new human and Dwarf characters)
and end the War between the Elves and Sauron with Sauron's capture by Pharazon: I would have stretched the war such that Sauron would have been captured during Tar-Palantir's reign.
Stupid, or lazy, or both.
‘Elven jugs’ 🤣
I would have used Men in the West’s idea. Have a A and B plot. Season 1 being about the Rings and starting to introduce Numenor as a B plot, have them mix either at Gil Galad’s letter or the war for Eriador. Then season 2 with Elves as a B and Numenor as an A. Easy fix
The writers seem to have this idea, that things like selfishness, entitlement, and arrogance, are actually positive traits!
They think you should like and respect the character because they tell you to, not because they've earned it!
The evidence that the people behind this show are raving narcissistic sociopaths, is piling up!
In all seriousness..this really can't go on for another 5 seasons...its unimaginable! No writer worth their name will touch this..
No writer with a name touched this
Then don't watch it
@@reek4062 We might all just be watching Disparu...
Well … When you’re offered the biggest paycheck of your life, you just might.
@@paulmurgatroyd6372 Better read the books
“It’s so obvious that it must be a Red herring…”
WRITERS: Well then you’re REALLY gonna be surprised 😉
Hilarious how he’s so proud: ‘there’s actually no stunt doubles, it’s the actors’ yeah bro, we know.
"Why do you keep fighting?"
"Because I cannot stop."
How honorable and noble. /s
So just when Sauron thought he was out.....Galadriel pulls him back in? 🤣😂
Everything after the ring was forged is her fault.
@@struttux5156
Even before the Rings were being forged, it's her fault.
Assuming Sauron is Halbrand, then she's responsible for coercing him into going to Middle-Earth's Southlands with her to retake his throne, when originally he just wanted to stay and smith away in Numenor.
Inevitably, either by being king and having the authority to impose his will on others go to his head or by seeing the chaos among Middle-Earth and deciding that the land could use a little order and control, he'll retake his former identity as Sauron.
Then he'll devise a means of controlling the Elves, Dwarves and Men through Rings of Power and then create the Annatar identity to convince the Elves to help him carry out that plan.
And it'll all be partially Galadriel's fault, because she's the one who dragged him back to Middle-Earth and put him in position to start re-lapsing all over again.
Wait wait... How does Halbrand "know he's not going to survive with her (Galadriel)"? Up to this point, detaching himself from her has done him good. He was surviving on his own before she arrived and had been far better without her...
He's a man. It's just a miracle he hasn't wandered into traffic without something to oppress.
don't over think it. I mean, how does one voice-over "nothing is evil in the beginning" while simultaneously showing children being evil to a little girl, in the beginning? Just take in the scenery, all the pretty trees with yellow leaves and all the scottish accents and forget there's stuff being said by people with mouths, none of the stuff makes sense anyway and they're going to do the exact opposite of what they said 1 scene ago...
He knew he would not be able to survive without a minge.
Well... it is a known thing that men are wired to instinctively try to protect women. The whole preserve the species thing. There are limits though.
Strong woman. You're forgetting
I get the feeling that their "going back to the source" is almost entirely based on superficial viewings of the (non extended edition) movies. So when Galadriel had her test to see if she would take the ring they were like "Oh look, she's evil. She'll make a great main character. I'm sure there's zero lore about who she is beyond this scene."
According to people knowledgeable about the lore, they are going back to the books, but they're being selective & butchering what has been established.
I'm not so sure. The (movie) Galadriel said she would be "...beautiful and terrible... All shall love me and despair!’" I don't recall any reference to being a carping nag and a scold who blackmails people into doing what she wants.
Who needs the dark Lord when you have LSD galadriel who's already everyone's enemy.
Excuse me, please do not besmirch LSD. It's incomparably more positive and useful.
Galadriel manipulating and using Halbrand is going to turn into Galdriel helping Sauron. Wait for it...
I'm rooting for Sauron in this mess.
I hope they at least do the naughties first.
*"Hey Galadriel, remember that guy you spent a couple hundred years hunting down because of your brother's death? Yeah, well you just slept with him. Ha!"*
I think all of the fandom is rooting for Sauron at this point mate! I know I do and all my friends that love Tolkien's works.
I love the way the writers have remained so true to Tolkien - I just never realized Tolkien had a palintir capable of seeing the Culture wars and Gender Identity politics of the 2020's
To incels any diversity is ''woke''
Thank god they didn't get the rights to the whole Tolkein bookshelf, they can't even comprehend the complexities of these fragments.
@@paulmurgatroyd6372 It would be the equivalent of lighting the entire library of Tolkien's works on fire
t is like walking into uncanny valley when you watch these woke cultists being interviewed.
They all have the exact same personality because they have no personality at all.
They are just a vacuous, facile collection of politically correct soundbites, they are quite literally biological drones.
I guess that is why Saruman and Sauron tried to prevent our Age from ever happening, they knew how it would end. That a far greater evil than they would take root and put all to chaotic flame, even the very world itself.
“Destiny” and “Written in the stars” is just code for “I have no idea how to write my way from point A to point B in a way that makes sense”
It is so day and night seeing this cast and crew breakdown ROP vs what the casts of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul did during their years of commentary. I hear ROP directors speaking in "I", but BB/BCS was always "we" etc.
You were right when you said that personal accountability has left modern society. Also, notice how the society values victimhood and outrage instead of mental fortitude and taking command of one's situation.
Makes it easier for The State to control everything.
Personal responsibility/accountability are dirty words in today's society.
You probably think rape is the victims fault
She's a progressive character, she is ambitious, goes with a boy because she fancies his dad and he's rich. Just get her a Sugar Baby and an Only Fans ..
@@mitchellpolinop7650 Thats called a straw man. Congratulations.
How exactly is Halbrand not going to survive without her? Without this evil wench, Halbrand would have had zero friction when he landed at Numenor, he wouldn't have been forced back to a place he never wanted to return, which I hope is why he flips so Galadriel's evil will have consequences in lives, human, dwarven and elves.
Halbrad is sauron
You left out the harfoots
@@laurabudd8680 They should have left the Harfoots out all together.
Hilbrand is Sauron he doesn't need her
@@kyotheman69 Sauron? I thought he was going to turn into the Witch King.
Twins separated at birth: Galadriel & Greta Thunberg
'How dare you'.
Sauron, he just wanted to live in a van down by the river. Whenever he tried to get out, they dragged him back in!
With his fishing buddies Deagol and Smeagol.
It tooks 5 episodes for the Harfoots to move from one bush to another
Then there is no bush left there, because it is in their hairs!
😅😂
“Let’s take their Wheels”! Horrible Harfoot’s
Dam right evil and selfish.
Grand Theft Wagon!
They're actually proud for this fight scene, hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
I like how Morfyyd Clark is just sitting like a lump, seemingly leaning towards the camera, like she's so bored that she's going to fall over asleep. And, frankly, we all understand where she's coming from.
My warrior princess character needs to do a fight scene...good luck with that....why did she accept the part if she knew she couldn't do it? Or couldn't be bothered, she's starting to come across as lazy
@@Songbirdstress I guess because she thought it'd look good on her resume. And, of course, the paycheck is going to clear for sure. But, yeah, she's not playing a compelling character. While that may mostly be the writers' fault, she sure doesn't seem to be making the most of her opportunity to rise above crappy writing. Billy Idol has a much more dynamic range of facial expressions, and made better use of them.
@@thatpatrickguy3446 I agree, yes the writing is bad, but the male actors are doing ok. Durin is doing great. Alec Guiness did fine with Star Wars less than stellar dialogue. Don't get me wrong, I love Star Wars, but it's not a screwball comedy...indeed I think its genius is it comes across as light and airy but is in fact very deep.
But I think the problem with this prod is it's the most intellectual IP, but the people they chose come across as totally stupid. It's multi layered, but here they struggle to have just one. Reminds me of a tweet I saw about Blade Runner, saying that Deckard was in fact the bad guy....ya think? The writer (!) never read any Sci Fi? she missed the fact that the whole premise is that nothing is real anymore, but looks so much like it is that no-one knows, including Deckard?
@@Songbirdstress I agree with you about this being a very intellectual IP. After all it was written by a learned professor who had had serious life struggles and seen the horrors of a most gruesome war firsthand. And who is reinterpreting it for a modern age? People who don't have one one-hundredth the life experiences he had and who have likely led incredibly privileged and sheltered lives without hunger, crime, or war. It's not so much that the writers and actors are ignorant (though they sure as heck seem to be), it's that they seem to have no frame of reference to apply to Tolkien's works to achieve any level of understanding of what lies underneath the surface. So they focus solely on extremely shallow surface stuff, and they present it in such a way (show the audience, then tell the audience what you just showed them cos they're all uncultured morons don'tchaknow) that demonstrates that they have no idea what they're working with at all. And it'll obviously do nothing but offend fans who, even if they only understand a tenth of the depth of Tolkien's works, still understand a hundred times more than these producers, writers, actors and the Amazon-hired "experts" and "superfans" do. And then these idiots who lack comprehension will call those with a modicum of understanding -ists and -phobes. Absolutely tragic and ridiculous what they're doing.
Give her a break. She's clearly paralyzed and can only move one lip
If he's truly Sauron and Galadriel is the one responsible for him to become this dark Overlord again and she does almost nothing when he's about to burn Middle Earth to the ground during Lotr then she's truly evil.
It's like lighting a forest on fire and telling the firefighters how to do their job afterwards.
Maybe in Forodwaith Galadriel was kidnapped and Sauron took her place?
It would explain her behaviour and why she desperately didn't want to go to Valinor.
@@reek4062 I am glad you said this as its my theory as well. At this point, the only thing that makes sense if she is actually Sauron. That would be some Jar Jar Binks Sith Lord level shit right there.
@@ColoradoStreaming I hope it's the case, but I don't think the writers will do that.
I like the fact that the analogy you just used has 100% happened before because of some karen type shit
Episode 1: Galadriel demands to speak to the elves' manager. Episode 2: Galadriel demands to speak to the raft's manager in the middle of the ocean. Episode 3: Galadriel demands to speak to Numenor's manager. Episode 4: Galadriel demands to speak to that manager's manager. Episode 5: Galadriel demands to speak to Sauron's manager.
So Galadriel is basically going to be responsible for Sauron rising again? when he just wanted to be a smith and craft stuff.
I can't blame him.
Yes, a demon, the chief lieutenant of Satan himself, decided to leave sin and destruction behind and go be a smith. These people have no concept of Tolkien, Catholic Theology, or even good and evil...
@@RonW4684 and if we go by that line, the Virgin Mary equivalent cast him into evil again lol at least watching the trainwreck is entertaining.
It's almost like those stupid male elves were right to pack her off.
They somehow made Halbrand more likeable plus the actor playing him does a passable job, not saying alot seeing the dross around him.
What is quite funny is the female actresses are all terrible (and sound stupid) but the males are quite good.
@@Songbirdstress They did Elrond & Celebrimbor dirty. They look so feminine in those robes & keep passing these “come hither” looks. Durin is so cringey with his weird lines “A dog may bark at the moon, but not bring it down!” or “Give me my meat & give it to me raw!” Don’t get me started on the soyboy cucks with boyband haircuts who are supposed to be Numenoreans. Urgh…
The worst part for me was watching the new legend of how mithril was formed and that the elves are dying without it. I sat there mouth gaping, stunned... then yelling at my TV screen. "WTF is this garbage!!!!!!"
MethLorien
Yes, this is directly against all lore.
"We didn't use professionals and we didn't spend more than a few hours on it."
"Really, no professionals? I never would have noticed!" (looks away and rolls eyes)
Guyladriel: "There's a tempest in me!"
*Farts*
The funniest part is that Episode 5 shows us that if it weren't for Galadriel, Sauron would have just happily forged swords for a thousand years. She's the one who forced him to return to take over the world and forge all the rings. We'll probably see in the next episode that the rings were her idea too.
That's tragically hilarious
Holy shit. They actually glamorized an abusive relationship.
I'm so glad you posted something today. I was just checking to see when the next episode would come out because I wanted to see your review - and not the episode.
Glad you enjoy the videos :) Episodes are always on a Friday.
Halbrand gets the upper hand.
Says the director, confidently, who directed it. But apparently not a single soul noticed it.
Who are these people?
What they want?
What on earth is going on?
WTF!!!
I feel your pain. I haven't even watched it (and won't, ever) but have seen enough reviews. Wow, just unbelievable what they are doing. Why pay $250 for the rights to only part of the lore (the appendices)? It's madness, or hubris...pure f'ing hubris!
Hilarious they can't show any of that with any of the movie making equipment, and 'actors' they have at their disposal.. jeez!
Galadriel: Help me
Halbrand: No
Galdriel: Then help yourself
Bitch he was doing exactly that until you walked in. FFS.
Don't forget he already saved her life.
I can see the articles now "Galadriel manipulates every other character, aNd ThAt's oK!", "Normalize guilt stripping the patriarchy", "No, Galadriel isn't acting manipulative, she's acting like a commander!", "Fragile male egos TRIGGERED that a woman get's her way". It's so predictable. Keep it up Disparu, love the vids
I think Lenny Henry is Sauron. I still chuckle at "a stone looks, down" followed by "The sea is always right"
Hahahahha. That would be funny as hell.
It was never a lidless eye, or a ring, it was cartwheels all along!
I keep thinking: Where are the rings of Power? We're more than halfway through the Season and nothing. The only reference to elven motifs in the creation of the rings was the dialogue of Celebrimbor and the dying tree which confirms the elven demise in Middle-earth.
From what has been said from people who know the series, they're not in the first series at all. Briefly mentioned at the end.
I'm not sure which tv show started doing this post-show or press briefing explanations of their plotlines, i noticed it with The Walking Dead first; but these things have gone from cool looks behind the scenes to just the writers, producers, and actors using these things to just explain all the crap their shows were not good enough to explain on their own. Hollywood's art can't speak for itself anymore, it would seem
They shot it in a day. Yeah, we can tell, it's like watching a B movie, no wait, a college student's movie's fight scene.
"A progressive character " omg. I got the douche chills bad. Worse than having covid
Hey Disparu, I love your humor and your commentary, stay awesome! Ps:
Thanks for making the pain brought by Amazon’s abomination a bit easier to deal with
Disparu has totally missed the significance of the color of Galadriel's dress. Blue. Think about it. That's the same color as the deep blue sea (the rock) and the sky (the ship), and she is in the middle. I can see it taking 5 seasons to resolve that, especially if we factor in the reflective properties of light.
The sea is always right😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣
@@joshpotter9261 and do you know why the boats float? Because they look up!
I decided to give the show a chance and I watched all the way up to the fifth episode. It was horrible I must say but also my wife found out... she left me, took the kids and took the house. she said she couldn't be with somebody who watches crap that destroys JRR tolkien's world. I begged with her please don't go I was just giving it a chance... She slapped me in the face with tears in her eyes and said I can't believe you've done this you're not the man I fell in love with...
For a made up story I do find myself sympathising with your fictitious wife.
She had a tempest in her.
Well, hope you learned your lesson.
Oh crap that better be made up. If not that's awful.
UPDATE* so guys I met another girl yesterday and we really hit it off. We where hanging out in my car since my wife took the house and well long story short she had fallen asleep and I did it again... She woke up and caught me watching She-Hulk... She left too and she stole my Nikes.
In the very first scene's of The Lord of The Rings we are introduced to the Rings and given an explanation. In the beginning of The Hobbit we are introduced to Hobbits and given an explanation. In the beginning of Rings of Power we are told that Up is Down and Down is Up.. but don't worry The Sea Is Always Right. This show was written by imbeciles; the elite of the lowest achievers. How would non-book readers and also those who have never seen The Lord of The Rings (in any presentation) or Hobbit (in any presentation) have any clue what is going on? I just want Númenor to flood over NOW before they all leave for Middle-Earth.
the prologue was great, the best part of the show so far
I think the subtitles may have confused you, it's actually "The C*** Is Always Right" and that then makes sense.
*scenes. Learn what apostrophes are for.
@@reek4062 expect for the part with Finrod Felegund or the whole bullying scene. Like they show something that didn’t even happen but don’t even mention the burning at Losgar, Kinslaying, or the Doom of the Noldor?
GIVE ME THE MEAT AND GIVE IT TO ME RAW!
How annoyed do you think the writers were when after they released the poster of halbrand and Galadriel on the raft..
Lot of people were like “well that’s clearly going to be Sauron!!!” 😂
Somehow they created a scenario where evil, Ring-corrupted Galadriel might seem like a brighter prospect than seeing her in youth...
How would I write this series:
- Galadriel go for the "philosopher queen" archetype. Leave the Warrior and become something more transcendental. Let her use wisdom, argument and intellectuality to oppose Annatar's reformist ideas.
Sauron would be a (pseudo) Promethean figure, an Azazel impacting the culture, history, society and religiosity of Harad and Rhûn.
It would show Harad and Rhûn inspired, as Tolkien said in a 1966 interview, in Africa and Asia. A way to show new regions, new peoples inspired by Ethiopia and Saracens in the south; and the Middle East, Japan and China in the east.
Númenor: show (and dont tell) about human nature vs. death. How death influences our lives, culture, beliefs and dreams. I would show Númenor from the beginning with the growth and death of its characters over the centuries. To generate a commotion in the public.
Seeing they lacked the rights to the Silmarillion, unfinished tales etc, it's baffling they decided on a 2nd age setting to begin with.
Better they had stuck with 3rd age, plenty of conflicts that could've made better tv shows (with proper writers). The rise of the witchking of angmar and subsequent war of annihilation with arnor, The kinstrife in Gondor, even the War in the North during the war of the ring.
A shame that, against the will of Bezos, there can be no victory.
but what about BIPOC Elves of Colour? And Feisty Young Woman Defying Traditional Gender Norms! that's the most important. We need to reflect the world, it's 2022, Galadriel ma gurl represent! woo-wooooot!
Often in cultures that fear death (or at least don't like to think about it) we go out of our way to hide it and separate it from daily life. For example, in America in the 1700s, grandparents would pass away in the home. Now in America the vast majority pass away in nursing homes. Relatives often were buried on the property. Now we pay large sums of money to bury them in cemeteries (and we don't have the excuse that the Europeans have of a culture built off the need to be buried on holy land to go to heaven).
I almost imagine Numenor, with it's close encounters with elves, doing this dialed up to 11. Looking for ways to forget that death exists for them. Having massive burial tombs carved into the sides of mountains decorated elaborately in stars and waves that hide individual graves, not to ornament the grave, but to distract from what it is. Perhaps funerals would either be nonexistent or would conversely be large parties more about those alive than commemorating those who have passed on.
Those would be some incredibly simple ways that you could show, IN THE BACKGROUND, how much Numenoreans fear death because they know what immortality really is.
'intellectuality? You mean... intellect?
@@30noir Oh, piss off, ya nitpicking twat.
The bar for this show lowers so much with each episode they’ll be waking a Balrog before the season ends.
Didn't you see the clip already? They're a comparison clip here on CZcams somewhere of what the show's balrog looks like compared to PJ LOTR's balrog!
Waking a balrog, nice.
Isn't Galadriel supposed to, literally, have magical abilities to read and manipulate people through empathy? This is not by being a sociopath
She's wise and perceptive enough that she can basically read people's intentions very easily, while showing genuine compassion to them.
It's why Sauron-as-Annatar rarely went anywhere near her, she knew he was full of shit instantly.
Before she ever came to middle Earth, she was recognized by the creators of the world as one of the most powerful elves and they tutored her specifically. This takes place several thousand years after even that...
Exactly, she reads thoughts in the PJ movies. How can she not sense that totally not Sauron is totally Sauron here…?🤔
Her actions here are without empathy. They are entirely selfish - "Do what I want regardless of if it's good for you (or anyone besides myself) or not."
she's one of the only elves with the blood of all three kindred, and was taught in almost literal heaven by the gods themselves.... yeah, she was a pretty sharp cookie and her greatest power was insight into the thoughts of others.
And in this show she's making 'fuck me eyes' at Sauron.....
Helbrand is either Sauron or the Witch King of Angmar.
Either way Galadriel is hugely responsible for manipulating him into returning to the southlands and either becoming the dark lord or having his entire being subsumed by a ring of power.
My guess would be the King of the Dead.
However, since it's just a surprise box, they'll probably just pull the same stunt as GOT. As soon as people get all the hints and solved the mystery, they'll just change the script so it's someone else: Surprise! No reason to start guessing...
OKAY. Time to make an approximate timeline and blow this whole thing apart.
Galadriel's entire arc so far has been maybe a week or two. The southlands arc is maybe 3 days
The harfoots has been significantly longer
And who the hell knows how much time Elrond has taken up here....
And they're all tied together by the Strangers comet.
So this timeline is broken beyond repair, someone put it together please lol
Nah, the Southlands arc was also three weeks, they just spent those weeks hiding in a tower with barely any food while the Orc armies take their one week leave because they decided to unionize.
Meanwhile, the Harfoots are just really fast.
And Elrond can teleport between the Elven and Dwarven cities.
Either that or this is all Galadriel's fever dream as she drowns at sea because she stupidly thought she could SWIM back to the mainland...
Oh! I just had an epiphany. They just copied the GOT comet.
How can the cast and crew be proud of this monstrosity of a show? It's freaking awful! They're insane to think otherwise. In the name of all things holy cancel it!
The show is amazing. It exposes fake LotR fans.
@@reek4062 Oh yeah we're fake fans even though we had read the books our whole lives because we don't blindly embrace this show which is crapping all over Tolkien's Legacy. How dare we express are disdain for it. Look you either do Tolkien right or don't do it all. This series is not cutting it PERIOD! It's an insult to J.R.R. and Christopher Tolkien.
@@Alexs.2599 I think what they mean is that this show's existence makes it easy to identify fake Tolkien fans (i.e anyone proclaiming the "virtues" of this garbage). I doubt that Reek supports this crap.
Because they're getting paid to. it's like how the star wars sequel cast all hated the movies but kept their mouth shut until the movies ended.
@@reek4062 good because this isn't a lord of the rings show or anything to do with Tolkien's work. This is a fan fiction level of writing that is worse than the things I've read on Wattpad
Sauron is the true hero of this story.
Galadriel is being portrayed as a psychopath. Congratulations on that self-insert
I think I've just realised the twist, it's not that they're trying to draw parallels betw Galadriel & Sauron, they've actually swapped out Galadriel & that's Sauron who we're following (Galadriel never made it back from the ice fortress)! it all makes sense now.
You know, you're right. Galadriel in the show would actually make an excellent Sauron that I'd genuinely ENJOY. She's playing everybody, pushing them to war and causing division for her own gain.
That would actually be a half decent twist and writing so sadly not the case lol
sword"training" scene with Galllllllladrielllle was so bad.... you can see that those rubberswords are even to heavy for her.
Really, the only thing that could save this show is the reveal in the second season that Galadriel has actually been imprisoned in Sauron's tower this whole time. Through the use of his dark powers Sauron shape shifted into an exact clone of Galadriel and set about tormenting everyone she came across. Not hard for Sauron since their personalities are quite similar.
Thank you again for your clarity and ethical views. So refreshing these days.
She created the monster, I feel sorry for Sauron
Harefoots: Oregon Trail Edition
They all die from cholera?
They have no understanding of geographical distances OR passage of time. People just appear at their destination in the same clothes, with no horses or traveling gear, as if they just strolled there. Galadriel jumps overboard with the intention of swimming home?? Then we have time passing by and in some storylines it is months and others it is days? The thing that makes this really insulting is that Tolkien's work was ALL ABOUT traversing large distances - they were all about the journey and the passage of time.
The World has changed, I feel it in the water, I feel it in the Earth. I smell it in the air. It began with the writing of the great books. Ideas were given to J.R.R Tolkien, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Film rights were granted to Jackson, great director and craftsman of the mountain of lore. And Nine, nine hours were gifted to the race of men, who above all else, desire quality content. But they were all of them deceived, for another show was made. In the Land of Amazon, in the fires of Mount Prime, the Dark Lord Bezos forged in secret a massive flop. And into this show he poured his money, his malice and his will to dominate all shows. One show to ruin them all, one show to bind them, in the Land of Amazon where the shadows lie.
Ultimate comment.
About the time compression issue, i really don't understand why they messed with the timelines that much when following the events from the 2nd age they would have had a cohesive and really interesting story without requiring those mental gymnastics in order to set a proper conflict with some random orcs.
Here's a semi-canon timeline that they have the rights to:
S1-S2: Eregion-Forge of the Rings- War of the Elves vs Sauron
S3: Numenor/Annatar-Fall of Numenor
S4: Foundation of Arnor/Gondor - War against the Witch King and Angmar (*not canon in this timeline but serves as big bad guy previous to Sauron)
S5: War against Sauron - Battle of the Last Alliance
Wouldn't this be more epic and interesting than 4 different POVs with unrelated plots and 2 of them being about random people? (random invented Hobbits and random invented diverse elf with some humans).
Hilarious. Even the commentary is like a scripted fanfic/cosplay of professional filmmakers.
"We shot that in a day" - incredible. The most unconvincing fight I have ever seen. Looks like a school play.

I just find your channel, and I stay here. Great videos!!!
Did I miss the part where Tolkien describes Sauron as “just a dude”? Was I wrong to expect Sauron to be a demon of sorts? Something sinister hiding under dark armor? Instea, we get Bodi from Point Break!
Hahaha! Awesome!
Not really, he doesnt appear in that twisted form until he dies in the sinking of numenor along with the ability to appear fair again. He’s a Maia and can appear as he wished until that point
Yeah, totally disappointing.
I caught these "breakdowns" interviews for every episode a week ago & was going to bring it up on FNT, but figured yall would've already known about it. But I'm glad you're covering it bc HOLY SHYTE! It's all the cringe, yet all the content gold! Lol!
How would Tolkien feel about his amazing character, turning into a terribly written, acted, villain?
They obviously have so much respect for his life’s work.
Thank you so much for discovering these! It's even more bizzare than rings itself. Also not so boring
As always amazing video. I waited for your video. Your literal disgust for the show like mine is so invigorating.
Well done son!
You break down everything im thinking while im watching it.
Whenever Galadriel and Halbrand are together on the screen, I keep shouting she's married.
So Sauron is just her ex and we’re seeing him through her eyes?
Great idea to go through those videos! Looking forward to the next ones! Really liking this format :)
Seriously, the part about “Isilgirl” showed me once again how bad a job they are doing in bringing the story across. She was observing Pharazon? And was impressed by him? I didn’t get that at any point to be honest. I was just constantly wondering what “Misses Pointless” was there for in the series at all.😂
She has two points, actually. (.)(.) Other than those, I don't understand why she's there either unless they're going to make her the one that sketches pictures we later see in the LOTr movies, like the picture of door to Moria, and Durin's bane.
Spartacus: Blood & Sand is a better representation of Tolkien’s work than Rings Of Power. I said what I said…
When you’re right you’re right.
@@oxyfee6486 Jason Kennedy must be from the sea, and the Sea is Always Right(TM)!
@@mixelplik When you’re right you’re right.😂
The writers didn't bother trying to live the story. That's why there are so many logistical issues and some people teleport while others take forever for a day to pass.
85K subscribers! Keep on rocking it!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the rock and boat quote can at least be salvaged.
“Do you know why a boat floats on the waves, but a rock sinks into the deep? It's the natural order of things. A rock is hurled into the sea and sees nothing but his brothers at the bottom. But a ship is carried by the winds and guided by the stars.”
Maybe you could end the quote with something about letting the stars guide you instead of staying close to what's familiar. Idk.
Natural order of things? This is exactly what they hate most of all! This is what a particular symbol they loathe represents.
Saying Sauron came back surprising and delightful is like Hitler living and reappearing as a stand up comic.
One of our greatest weapons against this nonsense. Thanks for doing what you do!
Disparu that comparison of the guy resembling the alien from Men in Black was just perfection 😂 👌 🔥 🙌
Came home from work, searching for your video 😄
The real question is what are Sauron’s preferred pronouns , pretty sure it’s gonna be the main plot
And Sauron's romance with Elrond.
RoP is fanfiction, gay fanfiction. this is their ultimate motivation, a bedroom scene between the two aforementioned,
using one billion dollars of Amazon money.
So, it's not about what it looks like it means to us, it's about what the writers & director identify the meaning to be instead.? 🤔
Sounds about right for these progressive loonies. Perhaps it's the cinematic equivalent of pronouns🤔.
And they're not talented enough to even portray what they meant to portray 😅
You're asking me to go the one place that I swore never to return... my Amazon Video subscription!
RIPPING THEM APART!!! Well done & well deserved!!! Thank U for your service!
