/* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */
Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul aka the guy who gets away with Mordor and this video we're breaking down Rings Of Power Episode 3. After everyone loved our last breakdown...loved it...I thought we'd dive back into the show for everyone who's still watching to bring you everything you need to know about the characters, callbacks and our thoughts on the entry.
I'm gonna give a spoiler warner for some stuff in the series but there'll be no future twists or turns revealed. However if a character pops up in the main Lord Of The Rings films series then I think that they're fair game to talk about so check out now if you don't want those connections confirmed. This is mainly referring to Elendil and Isildur who we already see what happens to in the Fellowship of the rings. Super long disclaimer but yeah just gotta preface the video with that before we dive into it all.
With that out the way, thanks for clicking this, now let's get into The Rings Of Power episode 3.
-
Now this episode is called Adar which is the name of a corrupted Elvish warlord who has been described as being one of the main antagonists of this series. He pops up at the end of the entry and he's played by another Game Of Thrones alumni in Joseph Mawle. So so far we've got Young Ned Stark, Uncle Ben...not that one...and Old Ned Stark all being tied to Lord Of The Rings stuff. My brain is f**king f**ked from the lore of these two series and at this point I feel like they've replaced the memories of my family...even my beloved uncle...uncle DaemonI think his name was. What.
Now Both episode 1 and 2 were kind of absent of villains other than the ones we saw briefly like Sauron. Adar is a completely new character for the show and a corrupted elf is an interesting way to take things that we haven't seen before.
The entry opens with an orc saying for Adar and this is brought full circle by his introduction at the end.
Elves are usually on the side of good but there are some that end up committing bad acts which has been seen in a number of characters. Feanor ended attacking elves in an event known as the Kinslaying which might have been teased at last week. Now that took place in the Silmarillion and as many of you pointed out on our last video Amazon doesn't actually own the rights to that.

HEY CHUMp
Absolutely loving it bro. You know im a HUGE LotR fan. Is it definite were getting 5seasons?? Or could it get canceled if viewing dwindles?
Big ups Def 💯👊🏾
@Abe Froman ♔KING♔
@Abe Froman lol did you watch the review part? Wasn't exactly shilling for it.
@Abe Froman this is giving me crazy David Brent 'see more honest' vibes lol, maybe my opinion was objective on the first as well I just didn't hate it as much as you
I'm glad you're judging the show solely based on the show and not any of the drama outside of it. Good on you and it's the reason why I've been watching you more for these breakdowns. Thank you.
Do you really enjoy the dialogue tho?
@@marlonestrella8105 Yes, its been one of the few shows that had made me put my phone down.
@@elliecoffin616 lol how much did they pay you to say that?
@@marlonestrella8105 Lmao nothing I genuinely enjoy the show.
@@marlonestrella8105 dialogues are allright man.
7:59 I kinda like the fact that the helmets that the Numenorean guards are wearing bear resemblance to the helmets that the Gondorians would eventually wear in the LOTR films. It’s sort of like an echo of what the Numenoreans would eventually become over time.
Anarion is mentioned in the episode. He will appear in the series 100% as he is a very important character along side Isildur. He founded Minas Anor (later Minas Tirit) while Isildur founded Minas Ithil - later overtaken by the Witch King and becoming Minas Morgul. Both brothers formed the Southern kingdom of Gondor, while their father formed the Northern kingdom of Arnor.
I have to say I loved this episode. You could feel the scale and culture of Numenor, despite the alterations in the story I really do enjoy watching this show visually it’s stunning and you can feel the plot ramping up
Yes I enjoyed this one too it's picking up.
Yes, me too. But that wolf was disgusting...
Frank- I loved this ep too. Best one so far. But yes, the wolf was disgusting and disturbing because it looked like an abused animal. I couldn’t stand it. Could barley watch. I didn’t like that imagery at all. I actually felt sorry for it. I hated everything about the wolf scene.
@@LunaWolf29 Seriously! It's a war movie with ugly things in it Stop with this woke animal rights crap! It fake .Its a movie. If they wanna have a abused evil looking wolf so be it. Shut the he'll up!
Me too, loving it
As someone who loved the other movies, that scene when Bron was gifted the wolf and he said to Gandalf that "this wolf will stay with me and protect me forever" brought me to tears. Truly... and also that time when Frodo was stabbed by the ring wraith and he awoke and said "I know kung-fu" that was just such a bad ass moment and I was just like "whoa this season is amazing! Bravo!! Best Witcher season yet! Can't wait to see what AMC does with it!
the numenor theme song is beautiful and majestic yet sadness is there inside. showing an impending doom
The sea is never wrong
People have pointed it out in the first two episodes, but the music really stood out to me in Episode 3.
I enjoyed the 3rd episode and appreciate all effort that went into the beautiful world building. Paul I wouldn’t let negative commenters affect your review of this show. If the episode is great it’s ok to say so and no need to search for something bad to appease naysayers
YES
100%. I haven't watched it yet because I'd prefer to binge it but I think it's unfair that some people are bashing it on principle without actually watching it
Well there is a lot of people Who have seen the 3 episodes and dont like It but their opinions are discarded because they are grouped with the racists that complaint as the firsts trailers showed up. And thats not fair. In my case I found the effects are stunning but the scripting a little meh, I expected more from elves and not just humans with pointy ears
Pathetic. You think a 5000 years old elv behaving like a school girl while mid aged men behave way wiser than her makes this show great?
This show lacks characters worth caring about so far 3 hours in. It has cheesy dialogue and its musical score is not Tolkien worthy. The way the characters talk is what really breaks the immersion of this world.
Easily the best episode of the three for me and it actually kept me invested to keep watching each week. I don’t need grand moments to keep me interested. Better dialogue, better character moments, and an overall feel of the wonder of Tolkien’s world were present here much more than the first 2. Numenor was fantastic and I liked Galadriel much more this time around. I hope they build off this episode. Gives me much more hope for the series
I really hope this show runs for the full 5 seasons.
I enjoyed the third ep more than the first two. But my reaction at the end was ''Oh come on!!''
nah I like the cliffhanger ngl
@@bald_flop8063 u think its Sauron :o
That was my through at the end of the first!
@@jeffreyjeffrey1935 maybe, I mean, idk. If they don't show his face in when he interrogates arondir in the next episode, I think it could be. Adar sounds similar to Anatar, but what do I know. We'll just have to see.
I thought this episode was much better then the first two 🤷🏻♂️
Those Harfoots must be Liverpool FC fans.
"Nobody goes off-trail........ and nobody walks alone" They sang.
this show gives me the same feeling I felt watching the first trilogy in theaters when I was a kid. Really liking it so far.
You say in the video that they replaced Isildur’s brother by a sister but during their discussion they refer to another brother of theirs
True, missed that, my bad
The sister is completely made up for no good reason
@@bandit_six5418 you don't know that their is no reason for her
@@heavyspoilers L
@@bandit_six5418 dont really care cos shes a baddy
There is definitely some kind of plot detail where halbrands line is cursed with dark power or something, in the alley he acts like he is the hulk and has no choice but to rage out and whoop their ass not to mention the dialogue with galadriel about the line inheriting more than royalty or w/e
Thought the same! Like some kind of violent or dark curse
He’s Sauron. It was confirmed months ago
@@brendenzielinskitpt2647 how was it confirmed? I thought it’s just a theory.
It was extremely obvious, I mean the show is about as surprising as Buffy The Vampire slayer. It's made by shallow Californians that grew up on the very same stuff.
Now just imagine thinking you are doing a great service by being so brand sensitive that something as mediocre as this is comparative to Tolkien....
It's yet another franchise burned to the ground by cooperations and people are celebrating it.
Disturbing. If we humans don't wipe ourself out we will look back into history where signs like this was a part of a decline in intelligence. Of course we have established through studies that our IQ is decreasing and it's going fast but still. Nobody was stopping and thinking about that though? They just swallowed the brand and worshipped the brand and celebrated the brand and was simply to... simple to grasp the thought required to not be easy to please.
Now the big question is why is it of such importance to NOT delve into that and just celebrate it? Is it merely the fact that it's beyond your horizon?
@@Kaparzo you’ll see lol. Trust me
i actually loved this episode, it was my favourite from the 3 eps so far. i absolutely loved the music score and the slow-mo they used throughout the ep tbh. i really like the character of arondir and can't wait to see what happens, i feel like the show's only going to get better
I hated the slow motion. Specialy when they are riding horses. Galadriels face... Omg, very elvish...
@@MrKornjacinvrac yeah just that bit with galadriel's face was a bit.. meh. but other than that i loved it
I agree. I thought this was the strongest episode so far and did a lot to close the gap between this show and GOT.
Peasants like shallow entertainment
@@dann5480 hahahahah gave me a good laugh this one tbf 👍🏻
Was waiting for Arondir yelling "Run you fools" at the moment where he hangs on the edge
"Fly you fools"
While I disagree that this weeks show was a letdown I do very much appreciate your objective viewpoint. The show is fun to watch IMO. It’s not perfect canonically but I’m ok with that personally.
Thanks for doing these videos and keep up the awesome work.
I'm a casual LOTR fan so its entertaining for me to watch. Its actually making me want to delve into Tolkien's work more. Episode 3 was really good, imo
Probably a red herring, but when Halbrand focused on the Anvil and wanted to work with the Black Smith, The first thing that went through my mind was that Sauron was a black smith and used to work for Aule, the god of smithing.
Ooh good shout
That and his first or near first line being, "Looks can be decieving." Sauron in the books being a famed shapeshifter.
Please keep making these videos. I enjoy them so much, I like seeing the things I missed and help make things/events mean more.
I thought the episode was pretty good, definitely still a bit slow but I am enjoying it so far.
it's really good. not sure why ppl angry
@@user-sg2fw6ze7n because it's trash
@@user-sg2fw6ze7n cuz they haven't followed Tolkien's story so they salty
Didn’t Gandalf say in one of the books he was known in the past as the stranger?
I’m convinced you live in the future. You’re so fast it seems you finish these videos before the show airs.
Well they do get the episode I'm advanced and have this at the ready for release day for us.
@@grimapocalypse5969 I actually didn’t know that. So he sort of does live in the future.
No he is in middle earf. He doesn’t watch the episode. He lives them.
Well most shills get the episode early
As a huge fan of Tolkien's works, I appreciate this show. The movies took creative liberties while respecting the lore as well. While this show is taking more creative liberties, it's still respecting large swaths of the lore. Quite honestly, for casual fans who haven't read or learned of the events in the first/second age, this is a good thing. It will get people into Tolkien's work, just like the movies did. And as for people crapping on the show because it takes liberties, well, the movies did too, as do most movie and show adaptations of written works. And considering Amazon doesn't have the rights to use material from the Silmarillion, they've done a great job working around that.
On point☝
It's dog shait boring dont lie
Truly
You can't be a fan of Tolkien if you like this show. It's just not possible.
This show is garbage. Acting is bad, writing is bad, story is bad and the costumes are bad.
@@Karatekjell The show clearly upsets you a lot. Maybe it would be a wise idea to stop watching it and any CZcams videos related to it?
Harfoots, "hearts bigger than our feet, unless you break an ankle, then you get left behind to die"
12:01 you made me spit out my drink bro. Thanks for that good laugh. Lol
I recently found out about your channel, and honestly, I love your content and how you upload your videos. when I finish any episode of any series, I know where I have to come cause you are always a step ahead and explain it thoroughly
thank you for making movies and series more enjoyable by explaining and showing what we missed ❤❤😍😍👍👍
Thanks so much
Idk how you Keep ROF and DOTD straight in your head!
@@pallexa he reviews them every time
I think Halbrand will end up being the mouth of Sauron, mainly since he is able to talk his way out of many situations
mouth of sauro was from Numeor, and doesn't fit with the smith theme. Probably either Sauron just fucking aroud and laying low or witch king
@@Archeaon RIGHT!! Sauron was known for having a way with words and could convince most of anything. I think Sauron knew Galadriel would jump ship before reaching Valinar. He was in the right spot at the right time.NOt even mentioning how the sea monster left him alone and the whole smith angle.
There's so many hint hint nudge nudges that he's the witch King. Like that scene of him fighting directly cutting to a sigil of sauron's brand.
@@ronniewhitedx I still think that it being Sauron would fit very well with what will happen to Numenor
he's not numenorian. and even if he were, the mouth of sauron could not live for 3000+ more years regardless of sorcery
Theory: halbrand is the one who forges Narsil, essentially making up for his ancestors pledging themselves to morgoth, by making the blade that would eventually destroy Sauron
Good theory. My theory was that he becomes the Witch King. You might have swayed me.
I’m a fan of both of these theories. There seems to be proof for either case. His bailing on the other survivors and the fight with the townsfolk pointing to a darker nature, and his willingness to want to blacksmith pointing towards his eye for creation.
I’m happy to question which outcome happens thru the course of the show. I don’t think it’s impossible that he both forges Narsil and becomes the Witch King.
This is such a good theory!!!
Don’t think it is an either or. It could be both theories. He forges Narsil but later gets corrupted by a ring and turns into the witch king
@@armanh358 I like the idea that he begins to feel the pull of corruption and makes the sword before losing his remaining humanity. But either way, both theories seem plausible.
As someone who has read the books, I welcome a cinematic world for Tolkien.
A lot of the Silmarillion is disjointed and a hard read, the films have liberties taken. Overall I despise Amazon but don't think this is as bad as everyone is saying!
On point☝
I don’t read books and this gives me some exposure to great Tolkien’s world. Amezon might make money out of it but they have till now done a service of beautiful cinematic experience of the lore. I’m now interested in books (they are expensive though)
Love most things except for their terrible costuming. Elves wearing gold... enough said there.
Agreed. People nowdays hate for the sake of hate.
If they go ahead with 5 seasons, I am perfectly fine with a slow paced, world building first couple of seasons, instead of rushing plot just for the sake of it and creating pointless new characters just to fill in.
IMHO; LOTR is about the world more than it's people ( hot take I assume, but I I want to be immersed in the world first, and characters second ).
So far, the slow pacing is great for my taste - and the acting has been really on point ( Durin and Elrond being stands out for me atm )
@@Lctl10 I totally agree, also Durins wife! While I was initially worried as the actress is the captain on a uk kids gameshow and she's a bit much, pleasantly surprised by her and actually commend her acting!
I'm glad you're not caught up in the culture wars of Rings of Power! More power to you!
Thanks
@@heavyspoilers my goat
Without saying the names, the channels that do hate on it are barely reviewing HOTD. I'm not watching RoP but I don't care to just hate on it.
@@thephilosopher7173 the channels that are hating on it are "hate for pay" channels.
Haters be hating. You’re great. Don’t let the negative nancies influence you. The live their lives like that. You get to keep being awesome.
I'm an oooooooooold fan (read LOTR in 1978) and I love this series. I connected with the Elves most when I first read the book, and while impressed with most of this series, I'm giving massive credit and kudos to Ismael Cruz Cordova for throwing heart and soul into Arondir and giving us the most elvish elf yet... yuh, those High Elves aren't bad either.
As I watch more and more videos on the world preceding LOTR, and all the connections, I'm liking the Rings of Power more. I'm excited to see where it's going. And I'm 99% sure 'the stranger' is Gandolf. It would certainly explain his connection and affection for the hobbits, who I'm guessing descended from the Harfoots.
Adar in the Sylvan elf language means Father. The Orcs aren’t searching for anything they are building the Black Gate and what will become Mordor in the 3rd Age. We actually see Arondir keeping EYE on a tower looking down on the “southlands,” we even see a mountain that could be Mt Doom behind it
@Abe Froman Sindarin*
“ACKHTUALLLY” chill everyone my phones autocorrect doesn’t know how to spell elvish languages
Could that tower we saw in the previous episodes become the tower of Sauron?
I think they are searching for something - my guess is they’re searching for the sword that Theo found.
@@alexanderdumas- Barad-dur was constructed before the one ring was made, destroyed, then rebuilt in the third age
Thanks for the balanced take on the show.
Im normally highly critical, but I really really like this series...maybe because Im more of a fan of quality film than the lore IDK but Im gonna be bummed when its over and I can't wait to be able to go back and binge watch it
Episode 2 and 3 were really good for me. I'm really looking forward to whats next.
2 was ass, 3 has been the only decent at most episode
@@idktbh930 so why are you watching it?
It could be that the wolfs will bread into wargs, too. Because the hobbit wargs looked more like wolfs, but they didn't had those special teeth.
What have they shown that isnt canonical?
bread?
That’s why I always look at your reviews, because you go into things with an open mind. And what things happen on the outside don’t shake how you see the episodes.
I really enjoy the series so far. It's world building is slow, but it's clearly building for something.
I genuinely dont know why people are hating on this show.. I'm really enjoying it so far and I'm a huge Tolkien fan
Those people are not Tolkien fans. That's why. They're PJ fans. And I know PJ is great and his movies were dope, but people have to finally learn that not everything in his movies were in books. He also added things and made his own rules like Elves having long hair which was never in the books. Yet everyday you can see some people calling themselves "Tolkien fans" and crying about why Elves in this show have no long hairs anymore. Lmao.
Thank you bro. The hate is real but this show is fire. These people are acting like orcs. I support this show and hope it goes on.
@@shadi6484 what a load of fucking bullshit. This doesn't respect Tolkien in the slightest. PJ respected him more. I can't believe you people are so desperate to come at the greatest trilogy of all time because this show sucks. You actually measure long hair with the shit they take in this show? Fucking trolls unbelievable. This show already flopped. It's bad. Everyone can see the reviews and the critics. You just act like children "lalala can't hear you" with hands over ears.
Thank you for your breakdown! I really enjoy your videos :) I'm really enjoying this show, and look forward to your future videos!
Always can rely on Paul for a good solid breakdown with his UK friendly bants. I appreciate you Sir.
I would absolutely take a paycheck from Amazon to say this show is really good, but I am currently doing it for free.
Originally this said “I’d am currently” I edited out that ‘d.
Just wanted to point out that I like that they removed my dudes 👍 to stop people from changing the context of comments he likes. A seemingly necessary feature I never thought of.
Also, congrats on a mill. 👏👏👏
I appreciate the years of helping absorb my fandoms.
I think the Stranger is Gandalf and they're on a separate plot from everyone else to found the Shire. Doesn't quite make sense for other major characters like Sauron since he could barely figure out what the Shire was when he sent the Ringwraiths there to find Bilbo and the Ring. Saruman doesn't seem humble enough to be a kind person even with memory loss. The fireflies are pointed out by Nori to perhaps be an accident, he was desperate to communicate what he needed and talked to them gently in his hand, a more dangerous being could just force magic them into position, well the wizards might need staves to do it but they do force pull stuff from time to time, Gandalf did it with Gimli's ax when he came back, and tried to use a shutting spell on the door as the Balrog approached them.
As for pissing people off with timelines, I think that was always going to happen because of how much time actually takes place in the actual stories. The time between Bilbo and Frodo leaving is years, not weeks or even months. And screwing with characters... Merry and Pippin did not accidentally help Frodo and Sam flee the Shire, they planned it out carefully, with Sam, and Farmer Maggot helped them when he found them crossing his fields by accident. If you're an actual by the book nerd, the first trilogy of movies was already breaking all kinds of lore and characterizations, especially making Aragorn a "reluctant" king, that's a big NO. He was basically waving Anduril around like a big golden dick and commanding men to hurry up and help him with his mission, to which they all looked at him in literal wonder and said yes my love, I mean my lord!
I wish he were Tom Bombadill. (I wish...).
In the books gandalf doesn't come to middleearth before 1000years into the third age...
Pile of woke shite.
I just don't respond to trolls any more. They're not just racist and sexist but they're also liars.
I first found your channel during Wanda Vision, and I love your funny and honest takes on things. I'm enjoying the show, and I'm really enjoying your content! I hope all the negatives don't take the joy away. I love the puns. Always hilarious. I'm a big fan of your channel and hope for more Rings of Power content! Thank you!
Agreed… you can see they are slowing this down for at LEAST 2 seasons but it’s enjoyable nonetheless; and I like the casting choices you weirdos who hate it….
🤣😂🤣😂. "All the other kings Ar-a-gone!" I laughed so hard at that dumb joke that my chest hurt. You should be writing for these major studios bro. Youre a treasure.
Personally I think this was the best episode so far ... some scenes that were unnecessary (galadriel close up riding on the horse) ... but all in all it was okay. Some scenes that didnt make sense but imho not as bad as the other episodes. I still think Harfoot Storyline is the best so far.
Disagree with that scene about Galadriel. So far we haven't seen Adult Galadriel actually enjoying LIFE - as she is a seeker of death, constantly sulking around about her mission/quest.
It showed that for all of that, Galandriel when faced with living without worrying about anything else, and enjoying herself - is capable of actually being happy.
Think it was important for the viewers to see that side of her, even if for a brief moment ( which is all she allows herself with ).
I like the show but Galadriel is annoying AF. She obsesses for a millennia over her brother’s death and she just figures out it’s a map because of the dudes in that library or whatever it was. She’s just insufferable. They messed up her character. But there are other characters and storylines which I like. I just get bored when it comes back to her. I do feel sorry for the actress. I’m sure she’s talented but this part sucks.
@@nottellingyou14 They've showed multiple times that for Elves, they do not perceive the passage of time like others.
For Galadriel, it's as if it happened "yesterday" - it's her entire and only reason to be alive at this point.
She is fueled by that obsession and anger - which is exactly why the King says she had to go, or her evil would end up corrupting her entirely and others around her.
The Sigil being part of the map was explained. She wasn't the only one that never made the connection to the southlands - it's part of the narration at the start, when she embarks on her journey.
If it wasn't for a specific find - that knowledge would remain hidden. Is it a mcguffin type of item ? Sure - but it's not related to the character itself, just the plot.
Personally, if someone had killed a member of my family that meant the world to me, and I had the strength and TIME to hunt it/them down - I would.
Her journey will most likely end up being about her letting go, and choosing to embrace life, instead of death - which will bring her in line to the Galadriel we know from LOTR timeline.
Great review. Love your stuff. I rewatched this episode last night and found it even more satisfying than the first watch. My favorite of the episodes so far.
Lovely outro!! Also felt this was a step down but I think we got clues about where the first big battle is going to happen.
I really enjoyed this episode but can see why it might not appeal so much to everyone. I'm happy with the slow build. I just enjoy reveling in Tolkien's world. I'm a simple hobbit with simple tastes :)
Unfortunately this isn’t Tolkien’s world, it’s Jeff Bezos
Agree, the presentation of Numenor was awesome.
If only it even were Tolkien's world
@@10hiyachakraborty27 We all make our own version of Tolkien's world as we experience the books. Successive mediums have tried to capture it and stay as faithful to the source material as their own vision allows. Ralph Bakshi's animated film, BBC Radio dramatisation, Peter Jackson all projected their vision on to Tolkien's world. This is a new look at that world and I'm enjoying it as such. But that doesn't mean everyone else needs to agree.
@@zachdawson6052 Is having black elfs and dwarfs the only reason you are hating the show?
Episode 3 was AMAZING!! Not sure why you're not feeling Arondir...he's a dope warrior elf ( I love the elves lol) who now has to find his way out of this orc camp. Plus his arc is more than likely going to tie into the blade that Theo has...I personally can't way to see where his storyline goes.
I specially loved the part where we know isildur (aragons grandfather) is in the series. Its him that cuts the ring off sauron. Im so excited!!
I love it when Galadriel went into Rivendell running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. On top of that she went to Harry’s and bought 3 T66 turbos with motec exhausts…
I'm actually the opposite of how you felt about the first 2 episodes and the 3rd episode. I really really disliked the first 2 episodes and thought they were super slow and boring, but the 3rd episode picked up a bit and was better. It's still not that good of a show in my opinion, but it's improving... slowly. Props to you for soldering on with these reviews even though you're getting tons of dislikes and criticisms for your opinions.
Same, this was by far my favourite yet. Gives me hope moving forward
Same
i dont understand as one human to another what you liked about it at all..this was beyond bad it was a nothing mess
So interesting. I totally agree with you. Third episode was much stronger with me.
@@poppit5481 As one human to another, I struggle to see your point of view as well, but nevertheless, I respect your opinion
This episode was so good! The scenes with Arondir were my favorite, as he has become my favorite character I wanted to see him succeed and escape so bad. It looks as though the Southlands are the beginning of Mordor. Can't wait for more!!
Thanks for the video, Paul! I'm really thankful for all the extra inside info as always. I also appreciate that you come into everything with an open mind. The people who think you're on Amazon's payroll are sad, sad little trolls. lmao
Keep up the good work and thank you for keeping an open mind about the show!
I enjoyed the episode great special effects the episode was beautiful and the story is moving along things are coming into focus really liking this show it's sad that so much hate follows it.
I agree with you 100%. I don’t get the venom and especially the sarcasm and personal attacks on people who are working on this show. Yet, they continue to watch and review ROP like they are part of some dark, “cool kids” club. Then they berate and make fun of anyone who disagrees with them. I am huge Anne Rice fan. Not crazy about the trailer for Interview, but keeping an open mind and will watch. But if I don’t like it- it won’t offend me to the core of my being. I just won’t watch it.
love the whole thing so far
Agreed, just watched another review and the comments section was toxic. Loving this show btw. It’s visually stunning and am enjoying the story developing
I did not read the books so I really don't mind about the changes. I'm enjoying this series so far.
Same.
Love the video! I’m liking the show so far in my opinion. Also love that shout out to Erik Voss, love his breakdowns over there on New Rockstars.
Thanks Paul! Appreciate your coverage of the show and your one liners
Please keep that open mind!! I am willfully ignoring the pointless hate and vitriol out there by only watching yours and new rockstars videos on TROP so I can stay blissfully happy about this incredible show. I feel like this episode you were almost needlessly negative?? Maybe to prove to people you’re not funded by Amazon? I only say that because even regular episodes like this (which every long series has) is still solid. I wish I could say there’s no need for you over-explain but apparently your ratios say different :( so sorry that’s happening. You’re an awesome channel and your videos are great! They explain so much and I’ll never understand how people who DONT like a show want to watch a breakdown about it and then dislike it lmao.
The Harfoots are the only story line I don’t care about.
I think they just need to get on the road with it. Hopefully next week they get separated and make their own way following the constellations.
I really enjoyed this video! Very informational and entertaining. I’m still on the fence on what I think about the show but I’m gonna keep watching it with an open mind!
I haven’t seen anybody mention the kid Rowan in the first episode that intentionally feeds the morgul blade as soon as he sees it, by reaching and poking his hand on it. Right after that, the “sigil” wakes up and perhaps summons meteor man.
GALADRIEL: *_"Did you say 'ride' ?"_* 😁🦄🐎
🙄CUE even _more_ rarely ceasing orchestrated soundscapes! 🥴
🙄CUT TO Galadriel in flowing blue gown, freeze frame brilliant white teeth😁...continue with Galadriel on CGI enhanced noble white steed, traversing _(slow-mo!)_ a beach alongside an ocean ! *_HARLEQUIN ROMANCE ready !!!!!_* 🚫
i absolutely loved this episode and felt it was easily the strongest, i nearly fell out of my chair when they said Isildur's name, and got goosebumps when they read the black speech and connected the southlands to a future mordor. couldn't give a shit who dumps on the show, it's absolutely for me
I really enjoy your videos Paul and your humour. I appreciate that you always try to point out the good and not so good in all that you review.
As for me I am enjoying “Rings of Power “ and I like all of the characters. It is a beautiful show visually and I like the cast. I will be watching your breakdowns/reviews.
Thanks Paul for your videos! 🙂
still watching and enjoying. keep up the videos!!
I feel like they're making a social commentary on why you shouldn't give people high positions just because of their name and family. Galadriel is really unlikeable, she's rude, arrogant and insulting, I mean she thought of killing Elendil who's name literally means Elf-friend in Quenya. Yet she's clearly got a high standing among the elves. Seeing her character happy made me think something bad was going to happen.
Elves were never meant to be likeable though? That's what the Harfoots and Hobbits are there for. 🙂
she barely is that lol. Obviously she is a quite "hardened up" by the shit she went through. And keep in mind, she only pulled the dagger because she initially thought she was getting killed first by him.
not to mention, Elves werent supposed to be liked in the first place. The books often show that even elves are as easily corrupted like men are.
As long as she ends up as beeing the Galadriel we know at the end of the series I'm okay with it.
@@very_spopy3015 Indeed, there are plenty of times elves get corrupted, the Feanorians are good exampels, and in the books it's hinted at that Melkor put the thoughts and ambitions of ruling a kingdom in Galadriel's head, which is one half of Galadriels character in the books, being the conflict between her wisdom and ambition. However, saying elves aren't supposed to be liked is a bit harsh, perhaps in the show, but there are plenty of likeable elves in the books, some of my favourites are Finrod Felagund, Luthien Tinuviel and Elrond.
@@marvellegends_uk Hmm, I think there are plenty of ways to be likeable, Elrond is described being "as kind as summer" in the Hobbit after all. You can be likeable by acting as a friend like the hobbits do but I believe acting with wisdom and showing understanding of the thoughts of others is another way of being likeable, characteristics often portrayed by Elves. :)
Paul is one of the legit honest reviewer out there.
😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
New subscriber bro. I love your funny accent and humor on this show 🤣. I enjoyed Enjoyed episode 3 but I agree with you that world building might be boring especially if you're new to the series. I think next week will be more action driven and narrow focused in story line.
Love your videos! Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t let anyone say otherwise.
Really enjoying this series, Arondir is one bad ass elf and i really don't trust Helbrand, they've captured the Orcs perfect and can't wait for it all to start kicking off. Not exact lore as im a huge LotR fan but still a lot of fun. 💯👌🏾
Big ups Def.💯👊🏾
@@TorbinDidNothingWrong how much have you been paid for yours?
He is just like kirsten stewart, always the same face...bad actor
@@TorbinDidNothingWrong I asked for one of Galadriels hairs and they gave me 3.😉
I'm liking this show more and more every episode, very interesting and looks stunning!
I agree. It's so beautiful.
The dialogue quality is utterly disappointing.
I would agree to that but my Internet connection have been 💩 🤬. So I only get glimpses how beautiful the show looks!!
@@geeayy333 The horseriding scene in particular look amazing
Thanks for the video, stay heavy brother!
Thanks for the breakdown, good job as always. I like this episode as much as the last one, very well made. I’m really intrigued by the stranger, I wonder if it is indeed Gandalf.
Episode 3 was fantastic.
yes it was 10/10
If this "Adar" turns out to be the human embodiment of Sauron - and ends up being captured by Numenor, we may get a sped-up version of the "Fall of Numenor". The trailers indicate Numenor under attack (boat exploding in the docks, Isildur looking on in horror etc). Is it faithful? Not at all. Will be it good? I am positive it will be.
The journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
RIP Queen Elizabeth Il
The Return of the King
im very sad about Liz.
spoiler Adar is Sauron in books he can shapeshift but after fall of Numenor his shapeshifting was taken away by Valar.His most known form is elf and he use this form to making Celebrimbor help him create 17 rings of power and to destroy Numenor
I feel like them already saying he’s Sauron is too much of a giveaway but we’ll see
What the hell was that slow mo horse riding scene with a mythical elf riding a horse like she had never done it before and was at a town fair
Theres a moment where they say "this place is so evil, even the torches dont feel hot". And then when the girl touches the fire from the strangers impact she says the fire isnt hot. He also drains the life of the fireflies when he uses them to show a constilation.
But when Gandalf takes the ring from the fire and hands it to Frodo 'it's quite cool'.
I'm not very familiar with the lore and all, but could meteorite-dude be related to the one ring in some shape or form?
Wow I missed that detail. Interesting. LOL but Sauron be hanging out with Harfoots is so funny.
@@kristofftodd That's just the ring itself, Gandalf didn't make it cool
I liked this episode a lot. I’m a little frustrated with some of the pacing of the non-Galadriel storylines, but hope it pays off next week.
I’m really enjoying the show. Thank you for continuing to do reviews on this.
Ok! This time you had me laughing with that Are-A-Gone joke!!! 🤣
Over the years you have been very consistent with your unbiased thoughts, Paul. I trust this channel to the core. Don't mind the naysayers..
I feel like I've said this 50 times in the past couple weeks, but I'm going to keep saying it: IT IS OK TO LIKE THIS SERIES. IT IS OK TO NOT LIKE THIS SERIES. It's called a difference of opinion and liking/disliking this show doesn't make you a "true fan" or whatever other bullshit I've seen said.
If you do NOT like this show, I'm going to give you a very simple trick that'll make your life much easier: turn off your tv and don't watch it. Let the people who do like it, enjoy it. Why do you want to destroy something they're enjoying when it has no effect on you? Here's another hint: it's way more fun liking something than disliking something. So instead of spending so much time and energy on something you clearly hate, watch the original movies or reread the books you love. Go back to enjoying things. You'll be a less miserable person for it.
If you DO like this show. Just ignore the people screaming about it and keep watching with a smile on your face.
It's ok to disagree about things people. I really appreciate that Heavy Spoilers took time in the video to talk about that.
lmao the strasky and hutch bit at 12:45 got me
You are so knowledgeable. Thank you for the video
I always appreciate your breakdowns, even if (on the rare occasion) we don’t completely agree. Your humor always makes me laugh, and I truly look forward to all your videos. Cheers 🍻
Thank you
Especially “theory time” - cracks me up every time
I still think the plot needs to ramp up BUT I really enjoy this show this was a really good episode
ramp up into what? they have stated 5 seasons, and each season is presumed to be 8 episodes, this story has specific events, the only things that can happen are creation of the rings, creation of barad-dur and war of the elves and sauron, future seasons will most likely have founding of rivendell, numenors fall, numenorians journey to middle earth, nazgul appearances and war of the last alliance, but any of this can and will be stretched over these 5 seasons
@@wavytiger1 ramp up meaning more action
@@chanelhenderson8460 the elves and orcs battle was pretty cool, some legolas type moves in it
@@wavytiger1 totally agree I loved the opening of episode 1
I love you man, these make my day
Great video. I honestly sort of sped through the Harfoot sections. Otherwise, I thought it was a pretty solid entry.
This is the best episode yet in my opinion..looking forward to the reveals of sauron and maybe gandalf or other wizards in the future of this epic story
It's not a wizard then don't get there until another millennium
Fun fact: The Ring did not betray Isildur. It was an act of Eru, much like the ring being found by Bilbo, both of which were not the intent or design of the Ring or its maker.
Its Gandalf, for the fact that the way he got angry with the two littlefoots from episode 2(he did the same thing with Bilbo when he told Gandalf to take the ring/or he did want to give it to him can't remember, and gandalf got angry and grew a bit turning the area of the room black). 2nd fact, the way he talked to the fireflies, is the same way he spoke to the moth to go get the eagles. in part2 of Lord of the rings trilogy. Saruman could already be there.
Could this possibly be Radagast? Hear me out we know Radagast is 5’4” but all we really know about Horfoot is that they’re smaller than Hobbits. So at 5’4” Radagast could look like a giant compared to Horfoot or s Hobbit. Radagast whispered to animals also…just a thought.
I’m really enjoying the show. I think it helps for me not being so deep in the lore because I’m not looking and criticizing the show for not being faithful or following anything in particular. I just wanna have fun with another adventure in the world Tolkien created
Was the best episode so far
