"It began with the forging of the great films. Threads were given by Tolkien, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Rights were granted to Jackson, great miner and craftsman of the mountain of lore. And nine, nine hours were gifted to the race of Men who, above all else, desire quality. 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 master flop. And into this show he poured his money, his greed and his will to dominate all film. One show to ruin them all."
This comment deserves way more likes

LMFAO. You win the comments section.
One by one, the free lore of Middle-Earth fell to the power of the Writers, but there were some who resisted. A last alliance of men and CZcamsrs marched against the armies of the media, and on the very slopes of The Review Section, they fought for the freedom of Tolkien.
Brooo đthis comment had me rolling
At this point Iâm rooting for Sauron and the tidal wave
I have some spoilers for you.
Same bro. Same.
The sea is always right.
This made Me Laugh way harder than it should have.
Just go watch cyberpunk2077:edgerunners thats waayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than this shitty ass show
A tiny raiding party of NĂșmenĂłreans and one elf save a small group of peasants who were hiding in an old watch tower. What an epic story.
I actually feel the various storylines all have potential. Even THAT could've worked. But the show doesn't get nearly enough out its ideas (i.e. it's boring), and the characters are far from being compelling enough to make up for it (i.e. even more boredom). So the end result is lacking.
I'm not deep into the lore, so I don't get worked up over armor-clad Galadriel (she looks pretty cool). But I do see the wasted potential. It's undeniably a failure.
Not what happened yet. I doubt that is exactly what will be episode 6.
@@CybFrog It seems like an eternal setup after set up to me , they reapet the same thing many times .
@@CybFrog She looks the coolest while she rides the horse and defeats 10 training warriors with 2 swords that don't even clash in the fight scene đ Slay, our 160 cm tall elven queen!
Itâs interesting Amazon decided to name the series after the physical manifestation of evil and corruptionâŠ
Alex at the beginning had me dying "We don' have to watch anymore right". This show for an actual LoTR fan must be torture
If you read the Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion, things are getting really difficult. Tolkien planned so many details for literally everything in his world. The series ignores like 90% of it, just to appeal to the "current year" crowd and/or look cool.
It's really bad. Fans of the show are trying to say "well, PJ's movies changed things" and while that's true, if the changes in the PJ movies can be represented by a molehill, the changes in Rings of Power would be the Thangorodrim.
@@pinkkfloydd so... anyone who is still watching is within the mines of Angband?
We all knew this was going to be a Train Wreck Franchise Killing Nightmare.
It's sad. Who is this for? I LOVE the franchise and HATE this show.
Elendil: You must decide what you want from life.
Isildur: I want to--
Elendil: No.
đ i just spilled by tea
the illusion of choice
Have you considered maybe Elendil doesnt want Isildur to die in some war? Crazy for father not wanting his son to die.
The rings of the woke is a feminist dream, but a Tolkien fan nightmare. J.R.R is rolling in his grave, sadly.
@@ancientslav4863 if you would say this for She-Hulk, i would agree. But what are your arguments for this claim for ROP? Let me guess... Galadriel? Haha
Angry Joe: Iâve seen enough!
Rings of Power editors: You have not seen what I have seen!
And by that they must means 'you have not seen the investors nuts on your chin!'
Lol
"I've seen my share. Put up your sword."
@@SaRENRampaiger and then Galadriel was surrounded by swords. Straight bastardswords by the men from south lands. Curved big thick slabs of metal swords held by orcs that havenât showered.
She gets low and twirls around, parrying all their incoming swords, deflecting, grabbing some of them and pulling on them, in order to get leverage.
As her elven battle grace and vigor is to much for her aggressors, she finishes them all off, making their bloody fluids stain her body, showering her face and trailing down her legs.
đ
@@zorokicksass60 That was...100%...one of the worst and most ridiculous scenes I've ever seen....and you made it better
Episode 6
Galadriel plot - Galadriel wants to sail faster, Miriel and Elendil want to sail at normal speed, and Halbrand and Pharazon demand the ships turn around.
Elrond plot - Elrond and Durin continue arguing about the table while walking to Khazad-dum.
Arondir plot - Everyone is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Orcs and hinting that they've done something clever to prepare for the attack. "Will it work?" "It has to work." "But what if it doesn't work?"
Nori plot - Malva now loves Slamdalf because he saved her, but still wants to leave Nori's family behind for some unexplained reason. Meanwhile, Nori starts avoiding him because breaking a spellcaster's concentration while he's clearly casting a spell is somehow the spellcaster's fault. Eminem and crew find the wheelbarrow tracks leading away from the crater.
Pretty much... obviously every story reunites in Mordor for a big clash that will happen in the last episode... everything until then is just filler.
I wanna see whem Adar leads his company into the Chaos Wastes and finds the demon... Oh wait wrong dark elf
Lol, Slamdalf haha
Last episode, Adar is defeated and restrained. He is brought before Gogirladriel and S̶a̶u̶r̶o̶n̶ Halbrand. Halbrand promptly executes Adar and reveals himself, breaking Gogirladriel's heart.
@@Bayard1503 big clash of 20 copy pasted peasants, one blkk elf and strong female bosses vs evil uncle Benjen and a gang of pale sun burning vampire zombies.
Just a theory, I suspect they went for inexperienced directors/other roles because theyâre much more likely to do exactly what theyâre told and not put up much resistance. A suitable candidate wouldâve probably wanted too much license and freedom for Amazon's liking. I wonder how many higher-profile directors actually showed interest in or applied for the role and were disregarded.
You just reminded me that i would have killed to see Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of the Hobbit.
They were going to take this 100% seriously. Then Christopher Tolkien died, they kicked out Tom Shippie and they brought in morons and diversity hires ect.
I completely agree that such is probably the case. It's executives running this thing and using inexperienced people as proxy.
I dont have the source rn, but I remember reading that Peter Jackson even called up and offered his assistance AND THEY IGNORED HIM. Like, WHAT. THE. FUCK?
It's a clique. You need to have the correct political views, know the "right" people, kiss the proper asses, nepotism etc.
These reviews have been more entertaining than the $1 billion show
That was Amazon's plan all along!
No amount of money is greater than one's passion for their own work.
Wow, your life must be.... Fun....
Three lazy fat overgrown children are more fun than the show.
Get help, please.
Yep! I'm hoping for a terrible season 2. There's gonna be so many entertaining rants on youtube then yipee lol
Yeap. I don't watch the show but I love seeing people tear it apart lol
Donât worry Joe I heard the series really picks up in season 3.
Oh don't you even start. lol.
I don't think many people will be watching given how poor 1 and 2 are.
That's when Al-Bezofan IV enters the fray. He'll have the sickest flip kicks and he'll have at least 3 lightsabers, as Tolkien wrote.
Ain't waiting that long for things to be good, personally.
Work college walked past and said he loves this lord of the rings and hates house of dragons. I was like you are the first person ive met to think that way hahaha.
"When did she decide that this is not what she wanted?" Well Joe, you haven't seen what she has seen, there is a tempest in her and the sea is always right!
She's not a boat bro she ain't looking up she's a stone looking down!
if i remember, Numenorians were Powerful warriors that even the Elves respected
They lived longer then normal humans as well, its why Aragorn is gonna live longer then a Human, because hes from Numenorian Descent.
This show needed better writers, cus Numenor was also Honorable that heeded the call to battle without hesitation.
Straight white men just aren't allowed to be cool , sorry.
You have modern USA to thank for
Gil-Galad: Do the dwarves have mithril?
Elrond: Maybe.
Gil-Galad: *squints intently*
They clearly dont play poker
I always check Alex's facial expressions at the start of the show lmao
So true and if he's looking down haha
Same!
Alex's face always say 1/10 đ, even for stuff he scores 9/10.
Yeah pretty much
Its tells the entire story and saves me an hour of my life
That first 15/20 minutes rant is one of the best rants I have EVER witnessed
It was much more engaging that the dialogue in the series that the rant was about
I can relate to Joe's frustration with Numenoreans, yeah Amazon treatment to them is just disrespectful. These men whose ancestors are the the Edain of the 1st age, are not normal/average men. They did aid the elves during the war of the wrath against Morgoth, mainly the three noble house of Edain (those of BĂ«or, Haleth and Hador). Numenoreans should at least have some prior knowledge and innate abilities in fighting, but the scene we all saw in training scene is just ridiculous , it feels like these men are just peasants who never fight before and never heard about orcs lol. It's pretty sad. The Numenoreans also have a much longer life and vigor ( their life spans are much longer than normal men) with tall stature like 7ft or more with strong body and mind as described by Tolkien.
The five ships of Numenor was the deal breaker for me. When William the Conquerer invaded Britain, he had 700 ships. 700, and he was only sailing across the channel. Alex was 100% right, they must be missing the rights to most of the big stories, otherwise it should run:
Season 1 - Forge the rings
Season 2 - War of Sauron vs. Elves, saved by the Numenoreans
Season 3 - Rise of Mordor
Season 4 - Capture of Sauron, corruption of Numenor
Season 5 - Invasion of Valinor, sinking of Numenor
Founding of Gondor and Arnor after that too. But a small divergence from lore now might lead to a total nonsense by the time of that happening... Like, Anarion being a female who did not even go to Middle Earth, as far as Ep. 5 goes.
Totally agree. It genuinely shocked me how stupid the show was. Can the writers not research or understand basic numeracy. The south lands are huge
Same!!
If that is the case, the smart thing to to do wouldâve been to make a series unrelated to the works of Tolkien. Wouldâve been cheaper too.
@@keonster YES exactly! The show is decent if you pretend it's not JRR Tolkien's world lol well its not great but it would be way better if it weren't raping his life's work
"It's like watching an old friend get butt farkked while on fire on live tv" GENIUS!
That line alone makes Alex's contribution legendary
@@PatrickWDunne When he said that I was dying. It does explain how i've felt every episode though, just didn't know how to describe it till now lol.
@@PatrickWDunne and the kicker: i bet the line wasn't even planned. I bet it was spontaneous. Lol!
ok but are we no gonna talk about that absolutely savage line from alex about an old friend getting b**t f****d while on fire?
I almost spit-taked my drink halfway across the room on that one! đ Just SO brutal of a takedown! Absolutely hilarious!!!
And he said it so calmly and matter of factly - which made it even funnier!!!
"we will let Alex talk some more at length" ... then 45 seconds later Joe interrupts for 20 minutes ... repeating himself.
Alex's analogy of the butt f****d and on fire is on point really.
the most on point way to describe this thing I have ever heard.
My issue with saying something like this is the implication that Tolkien's work is actually tarnished by this. But it's not really, all they are really mocking and twisting is a picture, not the actual thing. I don't feel like my appreciation or proximity to LotR is in any way diminished by this. It's only annoying that when recommending Tolkien's stories and the film trilogy that from now on we will have to add the comment "but ignore the TV series though".
@@holysecret2 think of it this way, if you see one of your old friend get buttF***** while being on fire and they are clearly helpless to control or change it, would your relation be tranished with them? I dont think so, what alex is implying is that they are diminishing tolkien's work and it hurts to watch. I dont think he or any of us will ever have less respect foe the man himself and his work.
@@nayanagrawal4757 making a watered down, poorly written show isnt gonna get anyone reading the source material. If it does great. Beeazuz made this show. He couldnt buy all of it with his money. So he just gave what he could to who he could hire. He really thinks throwing loads of money at something gives it soul.
Yea I saw that episode of South Park as well
Best character ark had Alex. Everyone hated him when he appeared first time, now everyone loves him and want hear his opinion.
Amazing character progress â€
Absolutely, I missed the old AJ gang and didn't like Alex in the beginning, but now he is my fav on the show
I always liked Alex because he clearly is not a bandwagoner. Sometimes that hurt my fanboying feelings for a particular thing, but his opinions always help me take a step back and look more critically, like he does
@@annslow41 i think thats the reason why a lot didnt in the beginning, he had a different vibe and flow with how he speaks about things, and in ways it has took quite a while to really gel. But he adds something that the others generally dont which adds to a better overall view for reviews
@@chrisf7730 I think people who didnât like Alex were just people like joe who fanboy and hype everything and if it has a name they love attached hate seeing flaws in it.
People were just and he wasnât bandwagoning with joe, but in my opinion the show didnât become a true review until alex showed up actually dissecting stuff.
Joe and other were just like nerdy fanboy discussions not even review when it comes to film
Joe is a decent game critic but a very shit film critic if you ask me . Like super shit heâs given garbage tv shows a 9 or 8 all the time
Heâs always been goodâŠheâs had to secretly be a based badass while tiptoeing around Joeâs leftist commie horse shit
I'm glad that Joe is keeping tabs on the comments and mentioning the Alex love! Dudes genuinely entertaining and I'm glad we can hear from him a bit more! Thanks Joe!

A lot of people forget that shows like Breaking Bad and even Game of Thrones could be a slow burn at times, feeling as if there was always something around the corner that didnât come to fruitionâŠbutâŠthe reason they forget that is because the dialogue was always brilliant.
Also the slow burns in Breaking Bad were good because every little detail mattered .
@@keachweder6217 Don't forget that each story thread is in some way interesting to make up for some of the more slow moving threads elsewhere.
@Silent Man I mean you're entitled to your wrong opinion lol
@Silent Man canât even compare those two shows yeah they are both about crime lords but thatâs like saying South Park and the simpsons are basically the same show because they are cartoons
@Silent Man okay then prove me wrong make comparisons
I think that the orcs are the most relatable characters in all the show. They just want their own place to live.
You are right. They are homeless and have a serious vitamin D deficiency that would make anyone cranky.
wait till the orcs will take yerrr jerb
Their orc songs gets me going
The wargens that nearly killed the hobos. Really cheered them on. Than Notgandalf came, did some MCU stuff and the true heroes of this show fleed...
The Orcs just wanted the meat back in the menu.
Alex is like Gandalf surrounded by Merry and Pippin all the time.
That makes it sound pretty good~
Lmao harsh.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
lol
Tbf OJ barely interrupts him
âCWâd the dialogueâ is the best line đ
Also, maybe we should have the Corporate Commander make an appearance from the writing room of Rings of Power
Props to angry Joe for trying to let Alex speak more. Honestly, I respect how tough it is to recognize the strengths in your team when you're a leader who loves to work too.
You guys are pathetic.... you want Alex to speak because he echos your opinion and just can't handle the fact Joe doesn't..
@@tacituskillgore7437 uhhhh yea , because alex always ends up being right?
try and fail
He gave Alex a lot of time to speak. I don't care if Joe "jumped in' for a little bit, he still ended up letting him speak a lot. Alex got to say everything he wanted to say.
@@tacituskillgore7437 Lmao you're on every comment literally just attacking anyone that dislike She Hulk.
How does goyslop taste in your mouth? How do you consume these 2022 shows? They are abhorrent
Durin IV: âElrond, never tell anyone about mithril.â
Elrond: âYo Celebrimbor! Look at this mithril. I totally DID NOT get this from the Dwarves.â
they already knew it was there.. didnt u follow the plot? he was there to start trade.
@@shadow_force lol then what is the 10 minute scene of the king elf asking Elrond to break his word. Whatâs the point if he already knows.
@@michaeljeffreyjordan4966 he's testing his loyalty to his own people, because Gil-Gilad literally called Elrond a half-elf at the beginning of the conversation.
@@michaeljeffreyjordan4966 he gave celebrimbor the mithril without telling him what it really was. He didnât know that celebrinmor already knew the entire time about mithril. He didnât break his oath.
@@michaeljeffreyjordan4966 This was so fckn dumb, Elrond basicly confessed 2 times in a row.
- " Did they found it?"
- "I promised not to tell that they did"
Calling it now episode 6 or 7 is going to be a 100% flash back re run episode
You're gonna have a rap song intro with flashbacks

Mightiest humans to have ever lived in the world got reduced to a bunch of clumsy clowns. Very good writing.
Those were cadets who just graduated and had no real conbat experience
@@Jyeoi then itâs still stupid. They should be huge. And she would still be smashed.
I am flabbergasted how Amazon is able to fuck this up so badly...super humans who live for hundreds of years, have super strength, can do magic, can pretty much do anything the elves also can do. And what do we get? A bunch of racist human whimps...
@@Jyeoi cadets that just graduated? They literally got fucked within seconds. It literally shows how stupid and weak these characters are.
@@Jyeoi so why the fuck send inexperienced teenager cadets on a voyage to middle earth with QUEEN MIRIEL, ELENDIL and GALADRIEL on board those ships. What the fuck
I ran out of breath laughing at Alexâs rant. The voice of the people right there
Time stamp?
The whole rant from start to finish
@@blaster915 Specifically about 20 minutes Alex is given the time to just rant
i feel like this whole tv series is like that scene with matt damon in thor doing a skit

. I'm mentally disabled and am so happy I'm represented by all the main characters. Its nice to know that handicapped people like me can be in big shows.
lmao bruh
"Alex we're gonna let you talk, at length, because everyone wants to hear you all the time"
"Alright thanks for that one sentence Alex its Joes turn again"
I mean Alex said he doesn't even feel like talking about it. Joe can't force him to
I don't even watch this show. I'm just watching it bc it has angry rant in the title. Those vids are always entertaining lol
Same.đ
Same! đ
This is a fake angry rant. Literally just a review where Joe complains a lot
Same!
Same.
Alex is the facial expression oracle of bad cinema.
Alex the grey he needs to dye his hair beard and hair its required.
Ya but he liked captain marvel lol
You can always tell how bad he thinks a show is by how long he admires his nails as Joe speaks.
Itâs like itâs his super power, and he gathers his strength the longer he manicures his nails. Then joe asks him his opinion and releases his pent up fury.
You toughed it out longer than I could manage - after the 3rd episode I was done.
The hubris of the powers that be that are behind this show is appalling; they had a brilliant foundation with what they were given in the appendices, and all they had to do was take that, fill in the blanks for a solid foundation, and build up from there.
However, they chose to cast it all aside, raze the legendarium to the ground, scatter the ashes to the wind, and then had the gall to think they could do better.
Imagine having the Amazing Lord of the Rings world to draw your story from. And making the Fans who Love It watch this and all agree they Absolutely Hate It!
What went wrong?! Who is this for?!
Iâm 33 and since 2001 when I watch Peter Jacksonâs films including The Hobbit films (I, for one, DO like those movies), I laugh and I cry while filled with pure joy and then sometimes I binge the BTS content. Gold standard. Going further back to my early childhood, I watched the 70âs animated films multiple times. I read the books once as an early teen. Few things are ingrained in me damn near since diaper days and Middle-Earth is one of those things. Itâs the ultimate fantasy world in my opinion. But when I watch thisâŠI mostly feel nothing. Iâll finish the season and I do also enjoy Durin, but noâŠthis doesnât come close to Peter Jacksonâs film. Jackson had respect for the source. Amazon does not. For me, this is a separate continuity and not required for a super massive LotR marathon.
Galadriel managing to shove four Numenorean guards into her cell (without even using any magic at all, by the look of it) and then make her way to the King's Bedchamber - without being detected by anyone on the way - really was jaw-dropping.
4 or 5 even but she shoved 2 at most rest of them went in by them self
Mary Sue syndrome.
You do know Galadriel one shot Sauron and the entire Nazul including the Witch King in the Jackson's movies and hit them for a six out of the ballpark? If anything, they are underpowering her.
Legolas frequently bitchified an entire army of the huge pale orcs and massive trolls. Using some intuition, you think Galadrial being who she is, wouldn't be highly proficient at using a sword and be physically superior? You see the logic flaws. This channel and critics, criticise aspects of the show but they use the wrong rational. Its almost like thier logic leaves them.
Galadriel is actually supposed to be 6ft 5 in the books, her grandmother was a maiar, she's supposed to be one of the most powerful elves ever in Tolkiens writings and people are bitching that she beat a few men? If anything she's vastly underpowered in this show.
This show actually has me rooting for the orcs and sauron
Not the orc, but Sauron and the destruction of Numenor.
haha yes exactly. Someone please put the humans the elves and dwarves to the sword.
they have always been the cool guys anyway
@@nestroit5010 đ
ive always rooted for the orcs
Episode 5 and they are still teasing the audience with the plot.
Brilliant move Amazon.
5:23
Literally how every fan feels about this show
Alex tried his best to restrain himself from saying I told you so on AJ. đ
No he didnât. He gave Joe a chance to figure it out and then had a discussion.
Hey you remember when Joe repeatedly during this video said that he would let Alex talk⊠Then let him talk for two minutes and then immediately interrupted him and moved on⊠Good times!
Its happened so many times now it's hilarious
@@JackEverton101 Alex doesn't even want to talk about this garbage anyway... It's Joe's expertise to rant on garbage.. not so much Alex... It's so shitty to keep discussing something you don't like... I hope you hate mongering motherfuckers can just move on... Alex is clearly jaded by this whole series
i like joe a lot as a person and as a game enthusiast. when are people gonna realize joe has some really shitty fanboi takes whenever it comes to media xD he was the same way with kenobi, was the same way with she hulk, was the same way with some of the terrible marvel movies, was the same way with rings of power
I love how Joe is like "Alex it's all you for 30 minutes go" Alex gets out 2 minutes of talking before Joe jumps back In with another rant xD
We love AJ though :)
I think when other joe or Alex are talking, angryJoe zones out (I think he's checking notes on a laptop). angryjoe then refocuses on the conversation and picks up a few words that remind himself of what he wants to say and cuts others off. I don't think he's doing it on purpose, but I think its something he needs to stop himself from doing.
I think itâs a really hard position because itâs the angry joe show for a reason, that boy be ANGRY. Heâs gotta rant to maintain the brand
@@MrHakisak I think you should watch the video and stop acting like you know aj just bc u watch his videos. If you donât fw it donât watch
@@clowningaround12 watch Angry joe mandelorian reaction, and she hulk reaction
56:02 "They literally have her stare at the camera"
When I saw that moment, I was blown away, and immediately infuriated. Since when did LOTR turn into Ferris Bueller?
You know, Joe. I felt this one. I tuned out after episode 4, and your reaction tells me I didnât do it soon enough đ€Ł
Same bro I tuned out episode 4. Every Harfucker section in the series so far has slowly whittled away my interest and will to live.

I laughed out loud when the Harfoot Lady basically said they should sabotage and condemn Nora's family to death on the off chance a mysterious man is magically making the woods barren.
Harfoots are legit psychopaths. Funny part is, the writers obviously thought they were writing them as sympathetic, but their lack of writing skill means they appear as awful people.
Canât stand that character. I groan every time I hear her voice.
@@therotten6152 Harfoots are like hobbits. You remember when bilbo was returning home in the hobbit trilogy and they were selling his house and his furniture cause they thought he was dead? Yeah hobbits an Harfoots have common interests of self preservation and kicking people to the curb immediately when they are weak or dead.
@@Wolf_90702 No, Harfoots are hobbits. They one of the 3 types of hobbits per Tolkien's own writings. So makes sense hobbits are like hobbits.
@@Wolf_90702 I don't see how selling someone's stuff, who's been gone for 13 months with nothing to say he's still alive mind you, is comparable to someone basically condemning another to death over a hunch. That's a serious fucking jump in logic
5:20 I wasn't ready for that đđ
Damn near choked on my food while laughing.
The orcs are more relatable than any other character in the whole show.
Because they actually feel Jackson esq. All of the other characters just talk too much.
Gotta respect Joe for listening to the fans and possibly allowing Alex to run the discussions.
All 3 have their strengths.
If Joe is smart enough to actually do that my estimation of him as a man would fn skyrocket
To be fair... his comments about the fans in that whole she hulk response thing was... well ya know.
But yea, this seems like a change of pace. Seems like he gets it now, or if not he's at least willing to understand that the fans like how he voices his opinion on this, even people who disagree with him.
So... yea, faith in this channel restored honestly.
@@spiffygonzales5899 Fans felt he was playing it too safe which isn't normal for an AJ show so I can understand the critique when it happened. The show has (as far as Ik) always been about brutal honesty with how they felt ever since the early days when it was just Joe or Joe, OJ, and Del.
Joe still doesn't know when and how to shut up and let people finish. Rather than going on stupid ass rants.
@@TheGravityShifter that's nonsense the truth is he didn't hate it as much and whining little girls couldn't handle it..
It struck me that the humans of the south lands are always bitter about the elves watching over them but in the first opportunity they prove the elves right by joining Adar
Well half of them.
I mean it makes sense. If you wanted to join forces with Adar you would be complaining about the elves every chance you had.
they are the russians of Middle Earth
@@lotterwinner6474 Exactly.
Well yeah. Anyone would be bitter about someone supervising them for generations regardless of if it was justified or not.
They really are the holy Trinity whether I agree or not with their points ( just like red letter media) I love that
-Alex is the lore check ,
-Joe is the explainer to make sure even if you haven't seen the show you get some context , and
- Other Joe is the the everyman outside looking in vibe .
But what's dynamic is the fact that it rotates depending on what show or movie .
The orphanage is actually a pretty good horror movie
I literally have more fun watching this than The Rings of Power
It's the only reason why I have to keep up with crap shows.
I've had more fun scooping turds out of my cat's litter box than watching RoP.
agreed this is pretty good lol
I'm just sad
Wouldn't it be funny if the Numenorians land in the South Lands and then they link up with Gil-Galad and he goes like "We dead if we don't get mithril" and then the Numenorians say "Oh we can spare a helmet or two." and then Gil-Galad says "What?" And then Elendil says "Yeah we bought like a ton of mithril from the elves and dwarfs way back when we helped you defeat Sauron the first time." Because you know Mithril is not a secret and the elven smiths used to just buy it from the dwarfs and work it, it's an export product of the dwarves.
LOL, like a glove this one...
They don't even have to do that, the unfinished tales talks about how mithril is found in Numenor
Iâm struggling with this series just about as bad as Joe struggles with names. đ
@kyle west OH GOSH! Praying for you, bro. Hope you pull through! đ€Ł
Alex is nonchalantly hilarious
Love Alex ⊠âits like watching an old friend of yours gettingâŠâ lmfao đ€Ł
I got that he doesn't like seeing his friends being set on fire whilst he is trying to watch them get buggered.
Bro I bust out laughing while listening with my headphones. My wife asked what was so funny.
This review is 1 hour long and more interesting than the 1-hour chapter.
That's always the way, these days.
I've gone back over a few Star Wars sequel rants recently. One of them was 3 hours, man. đ
I am going to admit that the exchange of Alex "Maybe she is Sauron" and then Joe "Halbrand..." is one of the best laughs I've had of 2022.
21:00 ALEX, I WANT TO SEE THAT SHOW!
Joe's reaction at 5:25 đđđ

"How do you kill orcs? You stab them"
Wow thanks, we would never had thought of that
U werent paying attention. U gotta twist too.
This part had me dying
oh god ... stab and twist
Amazing!.... eats popcorn
@@Jyeoi Twist it and then bop it and pull it đđ
"A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing" George Lucas.
Galadriel training those soldiers was so bad I thought I was watching a SNL skit.
Galadriel: "You stab the sword and twist the blade."
Me: "And how many centuries did it take you to learn that?"
The fact they robbed Galadriel of her husband says everything you need to know about the hacks who wrote this.
She dun need a man!
No husband, no daughter being born. I would laugh my ass off if they have Galadriel get with Halbrand or some shit đ They really butchered her character
OMG! You are right.... What the fuck are they thinking??? đđ€·đ€Š
Gaylandrien she dont need no man! Powa to tha wamen!
I felt the same way about Wheel of Time that Alex feels about Lord of the Rings.
I'm lucky to be completely oblivious to Wheel of Time lore cause I enjoyed the series towards the end.
What they did to The wheel of Time broke me.
I hadnât read the books in something like 15 years and never got past book 2 because my library didnât carry any more. I watched the full season and was âmeh, not bad.â My coworker ranted a bit about it and I decided I needed to read the books again andâŠ
**YEESH**
@@NimbleBard48 I'm also completely oblivious to Wheel of Time lore, and I thought the show was terrible!
I've been more or less giving this show a pass so far because I was expecting disaster like Wheel of Time. So, here it's just bland and stupid writing, but at least I get to see pretty landscapes when Im not slapping my own face in disbelief of these characters actions and motivations
Amazon may be playing some amazing 4D chess. Hear me out. They make it so different from the books so people talk about how the books are better, and recoup the costs with prime members buying the books and audio books. Would be genius.
Alex summed it all up perfectly in one senctence.
Imagine if Aj could stfu for a minute..literally
Did they find Mithril?
I swore an oath to Durin I wouldn't tell you they found the Mithril.
Tell me they found the Mithril to save our race?
I can't tell you they found the Mithril, I love my buddy Durin đđ
Yo I thought I was trippin during that scene đ I was like wait didnât he just basically break the oath
Ya that was bad.
@@isaacwallace9379 Yeah, he should've just lied and said plainly and assertively, "NO", to say that you've swore an oath to keep the existence of a thing a secret breaks such oath into a million pieces
that part was fucking stupid...
If you're answer to ''did you find the mithril?'' is:
I swore an oath. ThaT JUST FUCKING MEANS you found it..... like wtf is that kind of answer
that dialogue was so badly written wtf it was like it was written by a 1st grader at school.
The harfoots were debating not just leaving Nori's family behind but take away they're carts wheels too! Now there's some serious kindness right there!
Lore-wise they are people that don't care about others and above all SURVIVE. Didn't throw me off at all. Made sense.
@@GeorgePet23 What the actual duck do you mean lore wise? They're literally mentioned once. That's it. There's no ducking lore for them
@@GeorgePet23 Lore-wise the harfoots are first mentioned early 3A, several thousand years after the events of this utter circus.
Instead of just BUILDING NEW WHEELS, we're going to abandon an entire family of our kin and then steal THEIRS instead.
NOBODY WALKS ALONE .... NOBODY GOES OFF ROAD!!!
EVERYBODY, SING ALONG!
NOBODY GOES .....
I'm so glad I found you guys and I don't have to watch this crap. You three are far more entertaining than anything ROP could hope to throw out there.
Angry Joe: Come on Alex speak, our viewers want you to speak
Alex starts talking
Joe interrupts 5 seconds later...
My favorite scene was when Sauron apologized to Galadriel for killing her Brother. It went straight over her head.
I can't tell if you're joking. Because there is a scene where a maybe-Sauron saying sympathy for Galadriel's brother.
@@culturecanvas777 I bet he is Sauron...well it's not a mystory and It wouldn't surprise me if they turn Galadriel into Sauron too with this level of writing.
Sauron is a shapeshifter.. itâs obvious who Sauron is. As soon as I saw a cool white guy being nice I said âthatâs Sauronâ
@@culturecanvas777 Yes he literally said im sorry, at least in the German version. And shenresponded with sonethin stupid like THERE IS A TEMPEST IN ME or idk.
@@blessanabey8386 Galadriel is going to get a taste of Halbrands Darkness ;)
When Elrond still went on talking about his oath, after he had already showed the damn Mithril to Celeb, my 10 yo Lotr-Fan Self slit its throat.
Piss poor writing.
bro when the king was asking if they found Mithril and Elrond basically told him by saying he can't break an oath over and over...
like you told him by saying that you donkey!
Even though I think the writing is shit, in the scenes with Gil-Galad and Celembrimbor they weren't literally asking him to confess but needed him to talk to Durin about acquiring mithril. In doing so Durin would know that he talked to Gil-Galad and broke his oath as well as cause harm to their friendship as he had promised that the elves wouldnt be bothered with them mining mithril.
He was telling them he had it, but not where they found it.
@@Jyeoi
Celebrimbor & Gil-Galad: hey you stayed with the dwarves for quite some time, do you know If they have mithril?
Elrond: I can't break my oath, Celebrimbor check this out.
(Gives mithril)
Celebrimbor: yeah this is mithril and you were on Khazadum for quite some time, do they have the mithril them?
Elrond: can't break my oath
Celebrimbor: you were only there, exactly where we suspect the mithril is...
Elrond: can't break my oath though...
I love Joe's angry rant about the numenorean. I laughed so hard when Alex said I don't even care about isildur, who is an important characters. I believe Alex's suspicion is spot on, that while amazon have the right to the second age, they don't have the IMPORTANT stuff in the second age so they just make up stuff... too funny when he said they can't use annatar who teach how to make ring of power in the show about ring of power. ROFL
Havenât seen a single episode of this show and I donât plan on it, but I tune in to these reviews because I already know they are much more entertaining
đ đ đ đ đ đ
I do the same with She Hulk đ
If Tolkien was still alive, he'd be disgusted to see what his universe has turned into
If Tolkien was alive we would have never gotten this series.
If Tolkien was alive he would probably be laughing at all the internet crybabies whinging over his make believe stories like they were real life.
@@MrLutharr True.
@@MrLutharr The guy spent most of his life creating this world and you think he wouldnât care? Youâre delusional. Just go listen to any of his interviews, listen to his passion, and youâll change your mind.
@@MrLutharr Lmao you really simping for this garbage?
Hey Joe, kudos for giving Alex the stage. Good move, you guys all rock. And... couldn't agree more, this series is just heart breaking. I would have loved nothing more than a great adaption of Tolkien's world. What a let down.
Wha5 about other joe
I feel you brooo đ
A let down, huh? You say that like you're surprised. Western pop culture is dead bro.
I've moved on to foreign films - sick of all this subpar, woke, derivative bullshit.
Yeah credit where credit is due⊠Joe was right, Alex never really had that much to say about the show after allâŠ
@@mysticstrikeforce5957 OJ isnât as versed in the lore as Alex is.
With Halbrand being Sauron you know they're going to force a terrible love plot with Galadriel. They'll just pretend she isn't married so they can have forced drama.
He'll be a Nazgul
If they go Sauron route with Hallbrand it Will be laughable for Galadriel , She Will not be just the angry Karen MarySue commander but the stupid one too.
the whole budget went to the Orc quality control.
Elendil's daughter literally just stops and stares at stuff, that's her character đ
They (among other scenes) were trying to recreate the scene in Return of the King when Faramir's Cavalry slow marches through the city and women throwing flowers....falls flat.
They do that a lot, trying to redo classic LOTR scenes, only to fail.
@@joeltt1233 yeah same with Hobbit female (Sam) she actually say the same thing like Gimli in the Forgon forrest. "What madess made them go this way ?"
This show is terrible damn worst and worst
I don't know if she was written that way or she's being extra dramatic. Either annoying af
Dude I thought it was just me why DOES SHE EXIST. 1. she gets a job. 2. She doesn't really do the job. She just paces around official proceeding and stares pensively. 3. she seems upset about the state of affairs and tries to change them by talking to precisely one guy. and asking him to do something about it. why does she get so much screen time why am I always seeing her power walking around to stare at politicians going places?!
I totally get what Joe is saying about the score being an issue. It's one of the most overlooked things when people talk about film and tv, but it's actually one of the most important components in building the puzzle that is a film or tv show. One of my favorite things about being a film student, was figuring out what to do about sound design and sound mixing when working on projects. One of my favorite things on CZcams, are these awesome edits people do of the MCU matching scene transitions to the beat of a song, and warrior cat MAPs, where artists come together to bring these battle cats to life, through animation. If there's ONE thing can binds humanity together, it's song. Music. And the truly great film/tv scores, will be talked about for decades.
The Lion King 2019 had a MAJOR problem with the score not fitting the scene. When the stampede happened, instead of the intense orchestra telling the audience "this is some serious sht" now you have EPIC, HEROIC HORNS when you see Mufasa coming in to save the day, when ZAZU lands on the tree like WHY. In the original, when Zazu even flies down, the score changes to the strings and wind instruments as the scene progresses in intensity. Then when he spots Simba, those same flutes are a cue; it's letting the audience know of Zazu's emotions along with the expression on his face; the animation and score do all the talking. A good score will remind you of a scene in a movie or TV show. A bad score will just go through the motions, have all the proper cues that's it nothing else. A GREAT score, will put you RIGHT back into the movie or show, the moment those notes hit your ears.
Eh. Thats one of the many reasons i hated the new lion king. The score just felt disconnected. Made the film feel cringe
Love those CZcams edits of shows, movies and games. Theyâre awesome lol
Yeah you're totally right, most people really don't appreciate the power of a good soundtrack i was guilty of that myself until i saw back to the future and Star Wars
This is why game of thrones was soo awesome
Destiny 2 đ
Angry Joe: âNow letâs hear from other Joeâ - half way through other Joeâs first sentence Angry Joe starts shouting over him and doesnât give him a chance to speak again⊠come on man lol
Just finished watching ep 6, looks like business is FINALLY about to pick up!
The way they did Numenor breaks my heart.
everytime i see a scene i think like vito corleone: look how they masacred my boy
@@davidnonya7359 Underestimated comment , hahaha
NĂșmenĂłreans: The white, straight, cisgender people of the First Age.
They done did Tolkien dirty
Why?
They fired the Tolkein expert during filming because he was complaining about how it did not follow lore what did you expect.
The Peter Jackson movies didnât either. The Tolkien Estate thinks theyâre trash.
@@rabl3535 they didn't completely change the lore. Omitting certain things isn't changing the lore. the estate did hate the trilogy but outside of that is the readers. the difference in the eyes of fans is that the trilogy respected the source. And took the time to KEEP the essence of these books. The show is a 100% bastardization of the books and what Tolkien stood for.b
The whole time I'm watching I just want to see Durin, Elrond and Slamdalf lol. It's such a shame their scenes are so short...
Everyone loves Alex. Alex, youÂŽre the guy!
I actually laughed when Galadriel was boarding that ship in epic slow-mo in full armor.
Bitch, you swim to the island in trousers, you had your ceremonial foam armor on the elf ship, how in the fuck she got her armor back if she didn't had it in the first place.
Iâm gonna need you to stop using so much common sense. Lol
@@ajohndoe17 Yeah I guess, was too much from my side to expect them to follow lore, even their own crippled lore..
In her inventory
@@sheik_link đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł yes exactly haha!
How about all the green, newbie, barely trained in combat, only freshly graduated from sailing school- sailors, (meant to take on the hoards of Sauron, mind you) breaking rank and form to turn and gawk at her as she walks past? Like, sailors, you have ONE JOB in this situation -- to stand at attention -- and the directors can't even have them do that
Joe feels our anger now
yeah but the point is he gave them a chance so its moore honest then most off other youtubers
@@jimmykarlsson4126 no. They're all equally as honest.
@@jimmykarlsson4126 What other youtubers? All the big ones i watch all have watched every episode and have been right and honest the entire time. Get over it.
@@jonathansoko1085 sorry what i meaned is that they bashed the show before it was even out.
and they tend to do that.
And it get them views.
But its a theory.
The sad part its that they have been right most time then not.
@@jimmykarlsson4126 Theres nothing wrong with that. We knew alot about this show before it came out. Actors, directors, writers etc it all let us know this was of poor quality
I didnt even realise that the orcs story arc was "the taking over of the southlands" being referred to - I assumed it was a random example of a larger war not ... the war itself.
When they all got on the boat all glowy and happy i was like yup they gonna get absolutely slaughtered đ€Ł
Feels like a billion dollar Hallmark channel show.
Yes. It does.
it looks even lower budget than Hallmark show despite its budget.
Accurate.
The most accurate discription ever
âShe has a tempest within herâ
Every one of these episodes causes Alex to die a little inside.
On the plus side, he has enough time so that his nails are manicured to perfection every time a show is rated as poor.
I like how they put some carpet on the sides for Elendil's weird helmet wings.
Amazon at this point shouldâve made their own fantasy television show
