As soon as Adar leaves the tavern he says to Waldreg "I have a task for you" and right after that it cuts to the horses coming to war
How come all these reactors keep missing this detail
@@jquin3 i bet they are trying to get reaction. If they dont think like that, all of the reaction channels are stupid.
@@jquin3 Hey I don't know how, but I missed it too. Maybe it just gets lost in the excitement and us wanting the clash to to happen asap? lol
@@jquin3 literally lol
@@jquin3 in fairness until you said this, I totally missed this.
This episode was phenomenal! I nearly pissed myself when I realized we were witnessing the creation of Mt Doom
This episode was FIREEE 🌋
Before the chase Adar walked out of the cabin and told Waldrick he had a job for him
@23:00 awesome, i gave you a standing ovation when i heard that! That's exactly what i tought. People are all complaining she's getting too dark. Well...remember what her brother told her ;)
Your reaction to Mount Doom was amazing! 😂 this episode was honestly glorious
I also love that they aren't making Galadriel this all knowing woman who has no emotions and never makes mistakes. Sometimes I find it hard to root for her and I LOVE that! I think that's brilliant writing. I prefer shades of grey to black and white.
Crikey. I haven’t seen that at all. I’ve seen no depth to her character. She wants to commit orc genocide and she is otherwise four and unpleasant.
@@barryscannell "Orc genocide" LOL. The orcs in this universe are made specifically so that the good guys have some1 to kill. Do you know how the Lotr ends?
I agree. I love her characterization. She is on a very clear arc that was laid out in episode 1, when her brother told her that [sometimes you have to touch the darkness before you touch the light]. I'm paraphrasing but u get it.
@@a_kazakis Adar makes a speech about how orca are creatures deserving of life too and Galadriel responds that she will keep Adar alive so he can watch the last orca be wiped out. So yes that’s a genocide whatever way you twist it. Unless you’re saying that the bad guys in this are one dimensionsal?
@@barryscannell Bro, Adar isn't a beacon of morality. Just because he says orcs are deserving of life doesn't make it true. He is brainwashed and twisted be Morgoth himself. Wanting to wipe out every last orc isn't a morally wrong thing in Tolkien's universe. Basically every Elf, Dwarf and Man wants to do the same. They are a force of evil.
It's not a perfect analogy, but that's like Satan saying demons deserve life too, and you being "yep true".
We're forgetting the ghost army Aragorn entreatied to help fight with them
I was wondering why the orcs didn't use the tunnels they dug a few episodes ago. Did not expect the tunnels' purpose was for THAT though
Ofcourse no one expected it, because it doesn't make any sense xd
So glad you're enjoying the show! Tired of the haters. This show is epic and this episode in particular. Everything just works in my opinion. The action, the relationships, the visuals and a special shout out to the music! Thanks for the great reaction and looking forward to more from you and Hera.
Agree
Why be tired of haters? Why not just enjoy the show and not take into account differing opinions? I think the show looks great visually a lot of the time but I find the writing pacing and characterisation turgid at best. My opinion shouldn’t affect your enjoyment.
@@barryscannell don't worry, it doesn't!
How does it work? Nothing anyone does has any logic to it. I can give wayyyy too many examples. I am desperate for this show to be good but it´s just so mediocre.
@@MountRushCollymore and yet you don't. You just wax philosophical about how it's a train wreck
Hera totally on point!
Yeah, Arondir looks like he's actually drawing arrows. The way almost everyone in the PJ films draw, their arrows would have to go through the bow or their fingers through the bowstring.
Reallly loving your reactions :D It is a relief to see people who aren't automatically hating the content. I myself am happy with get to spend extra time in Middle Earth as we all know the Tolkien Estate will never give ANYONE the rights for Silmarillion. I would imagine it would be very hard work around the limitations for the appendixes while outright trying to avoid making any references to Silmarillion that are not contained within LOTR.
This show rules SO hard. Loved y’all’s reaction!
Ngl, episode 6 has been far beyond the best in the series. Had me on the edge of my seat for most of the episode.
The previous 5 have been pretty boring, in terms of pacing and even dialogue. Found myself looking at my phone or daydreaming.
The saving grace for the series is the visual effects.
@@markmata2671 Honestly, the first five episodes were all needed for the background in this episode.
The Elves and humans built the tunnel system that destroyed the Southlands.
Isildur being the most reckless and yet the best soldier Numenor has.
Elendil is the leader Numenoreans look to and with a volcano that probably just set him up as King of Gondor, that's highly necessary.
Adar is just a vessel that Sauron abused to take power and his creations will fuel Sauron's rise.
Arondir and Bronwyn helped the violence have a point and made you care think there were real stakes.
Theo is ultimately responsible for the destruction of his home and the death of those around him.
Galadriel was right all along.
Gil-Galad made a mistake by not listening to Galadriel.
Durin and Elrond' mithril mission is now a 1000 times more important.
Celebrimbor's tower is about to become the most important set piece in the show.
Shits about to go down.
@Supriya Mukherjee Got to imagine that he was replaced by the daughter and Pharazon's son will take his place as joint king of Gondor
@Supriya Mukherjee Both Elendil's daughter and Pharazon's son were created specifically for the show.
Seeing as Anarion doesn't even have an Amazon character profile on the show page, that's exactly how I see it playing out.
And it doesn't change anything except who's at the start of a familial line that dies out way before The Hobbit even takes place.
Only Isildur's story and family line have to live on for the LOTR lore to stay the same
@Supriya Mukherjee Anarion is busy serving as the family's lord of Aduine, he's mentioned in the 3rd Episode.
Actually, Galadriel and Halbrand didn´t know what Adar had wrapped at all, that is why they didn´t even check. She just wanted to capture their leader and asked Arondir who it was, and then Arondir pointed to him as he was getting away and asked them not to let Adar have the thing ( the key). She had no idea what it was and why he wanted it, so why would she check on it. Everyone else has already pointed out that you missed the scene were Waldreg got the key. Agree, great episode! I love this show!
And even if they had checked, they'd only see an axe and not understand its importance. There is no plot hole there.
He literally told her it was important. Why wouldn't she check it out? She should be very concerned with the magic Sauron sword considering that's her entire character so far
@@guintar6661 It's an AXE! An AXE! Be serious here ffs.
@@plexx365 I'm obviously talking about the real one, not the axe they switched it with. Try to keep up.
@@guintar6661 Galadriel just arrived, she knew nothing about the key/sword.
Great reaction, this episode was so good!
16:42 - the very second poor Hera looks away, the switcheroo happens! 😂
The under the bridge i would have died line killed me 😂
Really enjoy your reactions you're a true fan. Love to you both.
Great reaction video, loving these every week 👊
Sauron is Halbrand and he's dropping hints all over.
hera is a beast with the memory and predicting stuff
With the swap - Adar had the sword just before the cavalry turned up. He went outside and said to Walreg "I have a task for you" and after that we only saw it wrapped so presumably he swapped it then, gave the sword to Waldreg and then ran with the fake one. When galadriel wiped the blood from the dagger it didnt react, so had been changed at that point.
Adar gave Waldreg the sword, and took the bait with him
All reactors are stupid as hell
I love that show so much!
Had so often chills...just amazing
What an epic episode! It started out pretty epic with the way they took down that watch tower and the subsequent battles in the village. But that ending was just stunning! I am loving watching people react, as I was totally dumbfounded at the end of the episode on my first watch.
'The Dark Knight' (unintentional) parallels - as events instantly progress in the jail area (one phone call ~ one ancient 'key' hilt)
great discussion vid.
I think that the part at the end is actually a vision like the beginning part of the last series
When I saw the the water in lava I lost it I was like… “oh oh”
This episode just reinforced my belief that Halbrand is Sauron. He is an exceptional smith, and he demands to know if
Adar remembers him. Adar says he killed Sauron. Sauron at this point is still able to take on other appearances. I hope I am wrong, but the Southlands always fought for Mordor.
One of the best episodes of television I've ever seen.
That episode was explosive.
Not often we can seen the "good guys" being played THIS HARD.
This episode was fantastic. Though admittedly the idea that Galadriel takes a pyroclastic flow to the face and survives does push my suspension of disbelief a bit.
Halbrand's Southland kingdom... grand opening, grand closing.
Thanks guys, another great reaction, what an amazing episode, TV shows have never looked this good before!
More to a good tv show than looking good. The transformers movies look good too.
It's good if you are 12 and can't see terrible logic
Glad to know both of you are LOTR Fans
Thank You to Grizz & Hera. They are a shining beacon of light in what seems to be such a dark time due to all crotchety Rings Of Power haters. This scourge on the fandom are like Sauron's forces of Orcs trying so desperately turn our happy place into a cold, dark and desolate land. But fear not my fellowship, for we have the power of the mute and the block button, and they shall NEVER take our fantasy happiness AWAYYYYYYY !!!!!
Boy do I agree! These haters that want to condemn the show no matter what are truly missing out on a pretty epic story. I’ve had a couple of minor issues along the way. But for the most part, I think they are doing a fantastic job. For people who want to get some great deep dives into how this show is lining up with Tolkien themes and other aspects of the lore, check out Rings and Realms on CZcams with Corey Olsen, the Tolkien Professor.
Every time I'm tempted to respond to the stupid comments those people make I have to tell myself: "I did not pass through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm" 😄
Any valid criticism is stupid or is hating? The special effects are incredible. I’m not particularly tied to the lore. But the pacing, writing and character development are genuinely quite poor. What happened to the days when people could discuss things? America has made everything so binary and partisan.
@@blackeyedlily are paid? You post same comments in multiple videos.
@@blackeyedlily Dr. Olsen is also doing some coverage of the show on the Signum University channel. I've always been a Tolkien fan but Dr. Olsen has really helped me get more out of my reading of Tolkien. Also appreciate his objectivity about this show.
This is one of the best episodes of TV I've seen in a while. I loved your play by play reaction
Halbrand is Sauron. He asked Adar “do you remember me?” Then later Adar says he killed Sauron. Sauron is a Maiar like Gandalf so he could have been killed and reborn.
26:35 I so want Shore's Mordor theme for this entire sequence.
Such an AMAZING episode! I absolutely loved it
Sneak'n the video past the orc patrols!
0:47: I think a romanticized view of war was upheld back then even when they realize how bloody and gritty it is. Mongols and Vikings survived and united around war. Without it, they were divided and weak. Spartans lived and died by the sword. Roman people fully witnesssed gladiatorial combat at the arena. Monarchs through most of European history could only gain the will and support of the people through war and conquest, and it always worked.
Being warriors wAs seen by many as the most manly and important thing to do
First time here and I love this reaction. Keep it up!
I loved this episode so much!!
Halbrand is Sauron I am callinggg it
Could not wait for ya'll to react and was not disappointed 😄 Thank you for your interpretation of the interaction between Sau...Halbrand and Galadriel as a shared bond between 2 people that have been through some 💩 lol. Castaways, Illegal Aliens, Political Prisoners/House Arrest, and now War. Your reaction to that portion was matter of fact and easily delievered and shows your own emotional maturity and empathy. Without it, some might noto be able to see that as a possibility and automatically call it a romance, to be used as a negative against the show.
I love how you, as pretty good with the lore, kicked yourselves in the butt for not realizing faster what that lava entailed, and where they were at. Which is okay, because you realized it a second later lol. Can't wait for the next one, Cheers!
Your reaction when Mount Doom erupted was epic haha 😂
Adar teased Galadriel about her mirror. The ending hasn't happened yet, but is a vision for someone using, what will become Galadriels mirror...most likely the white dressed from last episode.
Awesome reaction again guys.
great great grondfather😂👌
I didn't think the flood water was gonna be for the creation of Mt doom either.
That scene was epic as fuck.
👍From scotland 🏴
The creation of the Orcs was the greatest and most monstrous sin Morgoth ever committed against Iluvatar. They also represent everything he did: the destruction of the bliss and light of Heaven, the source of countless deaths, suffering, and evil. Little bits of Morgoth walking around killing more people.
Galadriel's a paladin...she bubbled.
Loved how all there different storys that are finally connecting and what's going on with the hard foots
30:07: No, right when the numenorians came, Adar told the old dude he had a task for him.
26:34 THERE that was the moment I went HOLY FUCK
So so good. Loved watching you watch it.
LOL you two had the best reaction to this one 🔥🔥
I love your reactions, yet you missed the scene when Adar said to Waldreg that he had a task ffor him before the Numenoreans came. Yes, the chase was a decoy
Well, elves are immune to poisons, so technically the toxic gasses in the pyroclastic cloud wouldn't affect her. Not sure about all the debris, but elves can do some pretty crazy stuff
If you can dodge a wrench (or arrow or spear) you can dodge a ball! (or volcanic debris)
The toxins are one thing, the other thing is that the cloud can get up to 1000 C so it would cook her instantly. But sometimes in movies they make pyroclastic flow to be like a dust cloud , that just covers you in soot and ash and nothing more.
10/10 episode. No show has a better episode 6 except maybe Squid Game
Welcome to Mordor.
25:45: In the Silmarillion, the Valar punish numenor for turning against their will, becoming anti elf, falling to Sauron’s deceptions and becoming greedy for immortality.
Mordor is finally aktivadite 👻
Werewolves killed Finrod. No idea if they'll change that. He was not "hunting Sauron" but protecting Beren during the first Age and Sauron captured them (Finrod's death was unintentional, he was an important prisoner). Werewolves were one of Sauron's favorite shape back in the day, and he was lord of them. Sauron is a Maia, and one who likes to shapeshift into different beings, as flesh is malleable to angelic spirits like him (he only gets stuck in one form after second age ends). So is very possible Adar killed his vessel at the time and the experiments temporaly weakened him, so............
Adar and Halbrand:
1. He has a grudge. But never said what he did to him.
2. Adar doesn't recognize him... or if he did in the end, he taunts him with that knowledge (who are you?). He can remember names of random humans (as you know with Walfrid) so why he doesn't recopognize Halbrand, heir of Southlands?
3. Nobody in the Southlands, his "supposed" home even recognizes him, but they take his word for granted. Also he knew exactly where they were heading (he pointed at the Tower). How did he know? Because he knows something is there, which not even elves knew.
4. Promised King of Southlands...Southlands became Mordor. He's the promised King to Mordor.
5. Mairon (the one selves called Sauron) was a master blacksmith, as a disciple of the Vala Aule (creator of dwarves). Isn't a tad suspicious this random low man of the southland is more skilled in forging than peak of civilization smiths in Numeror?
6. He implies he has many names in Numeror. Juuust like Sauron.
Been waiting for this reaction 😅
Udun means "dark pit" or "hell" in Elvish Sindarin.
yes my dude #TeamAdar let's go :D
Udun indeed
I think Helbrand could be sauron because had Galadriel not jumped off and got him to numenor he would have never got back to middle earth the way he did, and king Gil Galaxy and Elrond saw in a vision that her remaining is what triggers the return of the darkness.
So why did Helbrand want to stay?
Why was he so concerned with crafting?
Maybe he wants to learn techniques that can make stronger crafted items, items like a ring?
Also what could cause a tsunami to destroy numenor?
A water dragon?
Who was seen around a water dragon?
Just needed to come here and say….
Told ya so.
Man i love ur reactions
Whaaaaaaaat it Helbrand is The Witch King?? I dunno, might delete later lol.. Im done speculating, im here for the ride.. lol
Epic Episode and Epic Reaction 🔥
I don't think Halbrand is Sauron, but the heir to the king of Southern Lands. It will come to play later I think when Sauron gives the 9 rings of power to mortal kings. Nine kings, nine Naz'ghul.
was waiting for your reaction..you are usually my star wars guy, and now my lotr guys
We prefer "Uruk".
Fun fact, that's just Sauron's Black Speech for "Orc". Technically the Black Speech shouldn't exist yet, but they're playing fast and loose with canon.
Galadriel's stance on Orcs is not extreme. Orcs literally slaughter women and children lol
Everyone gives Theo shit for revealing the artifacts location like they wouldn't do the exact same thing for thier mother
Marogoth take children from the waek elf's to dark side
I'm going to go out on a limb .... Halbrand followed Sauron, he hates Adar because of what he thinks Adar did. Away from Sauron's influence, Halbrand forges a different life for himself and regrets what he did under Sauron's influence/command. That's why he won't tell Galadriel what he did, because he thinks she wouldn't forgive that.
Kinda 911 vibes at the end there.
Can't really outrun the eruption there with the ash and clouds. Galadriel sort of just accepting that they just lost the Southlands. I mean she probably could have turned away or something, but it's just the symbolism really of standing there that seems more impactful
The reaction I wanted to see...
👍
isn't udun where talion was in his first game?
Udun is a description.
'Udûn was the less commonly used Sindarin name of Utumno. It meant "dark pit, Underworld" or "hell".'
Can I share your video as a reaction video on my channel?
Glad they enjoyed it. Not the most discerning viewers. The guy comments how the orcs are trapped and then instantly theyre out of the fire and he doesnt comment. I think these kind of viewers will enjoy the kind of spectacle of the show without seeing the big flaws in logic.
you're not the most discerning of youtube commenters tbh
@@ThunderhorseMusic people like Tom are why nerds get bullied
@@ThunderhorseMusic was a pretty discerning comment tbh, sorry if it hurt your feelings
Who is this “Sour-Ron”??
Soar-on. :)
Udûn = Mount Doom?
Udûn is the name of the valley in northwestern Mordor where the black gate is. It is also another name for Utumno the first fortress of Morgoth which is not the case here i think.
@@eagleknight1588 Ok, thanks :)
Udûn is Grey Elven (Sindar) for "Hell". It was their name of Morgoth's original fortress of Utumno. It became a nickname for Mordor... hell on earth.
I call complete BS that they wouldn't check the package, and then just pass it around.
That was bad writing.
otherwise, loved it.
So Bendu is only SW guy
Melkor/Morgoth's greatest sin was to corrupt elves and make them into orks. They are abominations. They dont deserve a land or to live. :D Sounded a lil bit rac**t but it is what it is :D love your reactions man. Keep up the good work.
True. In the fantasy world of LotR true evil exists, unlike real life, and since I have no reference point for true evil, I can't help but have the reaction of "damn, Galadriel sounds racist to the core in here", and only intellectually understanding the rules of their world, without feeling it on a gut level.
Orcs4Life !!
Oh yay eruption !best show ever😂😂😂
Still convinced Halbrand is Sauron trying to redeem himself...
@@JynxedKoma Hard to know, he did plead to Eonwe to be forgiven, but couldn't stand being forced on trial... And fled. Sauron does have some good intentions in him, as stated by Tolkien himself reminding that he is, also, a Maia and thus has relics of the good nature he shares with them.
So it could be possible that Halbrand is Sauron pre or post discussion with Eonwe, trying to hide who he is and what he did... Before relapsing again into his dark habits.
I tried to give it a chance. Now count me among the haters. This is so bad, and it saddens me to think it could take two decades for another large Tolkien project to come along.
Somewhat exciting episode. However the writing is still very bad. Why did no one confirm that Halbrand is king? You would think such a position of power requires some kind of evidence or process, not just asking the person and them saying yes. Why did no one check what was inside the wrapped parcel after retrieving it? Not opening it, not questioning it, what it was or what could it be used for, and then giving it back to a kid????.... It makes 0 sense. They had an entire day before the orcs came to the village, and yet they hid the very important sword that the orcs wanted right under the tavern, in the village they're defending. Why didn't they go and hide it somewhere far away? I am trying to enjoy this show but its so hard when scene after scene is just nonsensical.
Why would they hold a coronation in a muddy field lol, that sort of business takes place once the conflict is ended. After the battle of the pelennor fields, Aragorn went into Minas tirith to become king Elessar
I totally do not agree and kind of tired of trolls like yourself.
We all knew the hilt was the wrapped object that was switched out...but you who didn't know that? Galadriel. Let's say she opened it (she may have)...as far as she knows, the axe was the object they wanted back. Do you really think she'd go on a side quest to figure out why they cared about an axe? "I was going to question Adar about Sauron because I've spent hundreds of years trying to find him, but I wanted to learn the story behind some scuffed heirloom axe first."
Regarding the hiding spot - why would the guy who's leading the defense/preparation take the day off to go hide the hilt somewhere far away? Besides, hiding it under old folks and kids was good strategy. It's the last place the bad guys would think to look. Note - if you try to claim that you'd look there first, we'll all know you're lying in an effort to rescue your silly complaint.
@@wtw5002 I'm just applying some common sense to things that are relatively poorly written for the most expensive TV show in history. you would expect more. maybe I just have higher standards.
...this girl has no idea about any Tolkien things whatsoever....
So many fake comments. Copy and pasted.
This show is so bad! I'll admit this was the best episode so far, because something finally happened and no Hobbits, but still so many problems.
Why are you watching it then? 6 hours of episodes plus you go on CZcams and watch it again within reaction. You should ask yourself what is wrong with your life
@@Chilicat1 Because I love Lord of the Rings and I really want to like this show. I'm hoping it will get better
@@guintar6661 if you don’t like it now it won’t get better.
