    In Mordor's dark and fiery lair,
    Sauron's up to something rare.
    Not plotting doom or stirring dread,
    But fussing with his brand new head!
    "Enough of helmets, harsh and grim,
    It's time to show my stylish whim."
    He rummaged through his ancient chest,
    To find the wig he liked the best.
    A flowing mane of golden curls,
    He twirled and danced, gave it a whirl.
    "Now this," he said, with evil glee,
    "Will surely fool old Galadriel's tree!"
    With locks so lush, and quite divine,
    He thought, "This look, it will be mine."
    No more the Eye, with fiery blaze,
    But Sauron, in his fashion phase.
    Orcs and goblins stared in shock,
    As Sauron strutted 'round the block.
    "Is that our lord, so fierce, so big?
    Or did he steal a princess' wig?"
    He posed and preened, a sight to see,
    In Middle-earth's wild, new spree.
    Yet in the shadows, whispers spread,
    "Has Sauron lost his mighty head?"
    But Sauron, in his wig of gold,
    Felt fabulous, and oh so bold.
    "Let them laugh, let them jeer,
    I'm the chicest Dark Lord here!"
    In Rivendell, the elves did snicker,
    "Has Sauron joined the trendier ticker?"
    But even they could not deny,
    That wig gave him a certain...high.
    So if you see a shadowed king,
    Wearing curls like springtime's fling,
    Don't be fooled, and don't be big,
    It's Sauron, rocking his new wig!

      its because when you only critique the show based on said characters being gay/colored or whatever, that kinda poisons the whole arguement, you're not upset at the media, you're upset that people in it you don't like are in said media. If I wrote a show about a christian dude and used ever stereotype in the book people would complain about it, the same way you can critique it without just basing it off the people.

      LOTR will always have the perfect casting. Still find it crazy that Nicolas Cage as Aragorn and Sean Connery as Gandalf was a possibility. I’m a huge Connery fan too, but he would’ve played such an awkward Gandalf imo. Haha Sir Ian McKellen perfected the role, and will always be Gandalf. Viggo will always be Aragorn. Same with the rest of the cast and their roles. John Rhys Davies as Gimli makes me smile everytime.

    • @andrewalba5289

      It’s not the fact she dispatched the troll so easily (I feel it makes sense, during this “time” Galadriel was older than Legolas and had garnered much experience dealing with such creatures since then.) it’s that she fought in a way that was unconventional to her actual character in the books. She used no words or talismans to defeat the troll and her “elite guard” might as well have been green horn low born men.

    Tolken's books were set in a mystical world reflecting the high middle ages of northern Europe. But these adaptations have betrayed that legacy by putting in non-white characters who would never have fit into Tolken's world. Are we now going to make a version of Mulan or the Monkey King with lots of non Chinese (black) actors just to be PC? Or how about a movie of the Zulus 150 years ago peppered with random white characters completely out of place in such a setting? I see a double standard.

The Rings of Power writers stole from South Park (remember "they took our jobs,") and ripped off scenes from the Peter Jackson films.

      That is the least atrocious bastardizing of the 2nd Age time line. Sauron was already established in Middle Earth 600 years before he took Elvish form and forged the rings of power (and his presence was well known to be there by its inhabitants. It was no secret). Then he was defeated a 100 years later, took refuge and finished Bar-radur, then another 1700 years passed before he was defeated and taken to Numenor as a prisoner and THEN we see Isildur and Elendil on the scene. The ROP series mushes it altogether and completely out of order in events, and throws in Gandalf and a Balrog (who didn't even show up until the 3rd Age) for good measure.

    Love it. You're on point and funny, with class. At some point you really delivered something deep. I particularly like the zoom shot of an actor who plays Durin, while Disa was giving her speech. The expressions on that guy's face were showing some real emotions and they said it all right there. I have quit Rings of Power after episode 4 and my head hurts from everything I've seen. Meanwhile, the real Lord of the Rings remains among the best works of literature and cinema, and it's my favourite story ever. Watching the lighting of beacons at the end of your video reminded me why. There is so much greatness conveyed in the scene. The sense of honour, courage and glory that portrays gave me the rush! It's pure art. It's pure beauty. And we will always have that.

And Celebrian is future wife of Elrond and mother of Arwen and her brothers Elladan and Elrohir...so yeah...Galadriel at this point in time is a happily married and mother...and a leader with her own following of people....sharing time between family life and her leadership and poltiics basically, being a ruler, leader busy establishing and managing the elven realms! Not some solider girl...but a proper noble woman and 'queen' except bearing no title of one...she technically is under the High King of the Noldor anyway, but since she is also a member of royalty she is family with Gil-galad with high position.

      Who gives a crap whether it is 'woke' or not? If you think that is the biggest problem with ROP, you can't be much of a Tolkien fan. The horror of this show is the complete disregard for the events, characters and chronology of the 2nd Age and taking events of the 3rd Age and throwing them in to boot. Everyone whining about feminism, black elves and hobbits, girl power and woke-ism are totally missing the major issue of the show completely disregarding the written source material, twisting it and destroying it.

    @Zenocrate Před 24 dny +73

    A note from Tolkien:
    "The significance of a myth is not easily to be pinned on paper by analytical reasoning. It is at its best when it is presented by a poet who feels rather than makes explicit what his theme portends; who presents it incarnate in the world of history and geography, as our poet has done. Its defender is thus at a disadvantage: unless he is careful, and speaks in parables, he will kill what he is studying by vivisection, and he will be left with a formal or mechanical allegory, and what is more, probably with one that will not work. For myth is alive at once and in all its parts, and dies before it can be dissected."
    "Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics" (1936), p. 14

      "Tom was telling an absurd story about badgers and their queer ways" as was mentioned in the Fellowship book...but it's the Adventures of Tom Bombadil poems that really show their evil ;)
      " Then Tom hurried on. Rain began to shiver,
      round rings spattering in the running river;
      a wind blew, shaken leaves chilly drops were dripping;
      into a sheltering hole Old Tom went skipping.
      Out came Badger-brock with his snowy forehead
      and his dark blinking eyes. In the hill he quarried
      with his wife and many sons. By the coat they caught him,
      pulled him inside their earth, down their tunnels brought him.
      Inside their secret house, there they sat a-mumbling:
      ‘Ho, Tom Bombadil! Where have you come tumbling,
      bursting in the front-door? Badger-folk have caught you.
      You’ll never find it out, the way that we have brought you!’
      ‘Now, old Badger-brock, do you hear me talking?
      You show me out at once! I must be a-walking.
      Show me to your backdoor under briar-roses;
      then clean grimy paws, wipe your earthy noses!
      Go back to sleep again on your straw pillow,
      like fair Goldberry and Old Man Willow!’"
