#LordOfTheRings #RingsofPower #Amazon - Zábava
The most action Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power packed episode that STILL managed to mess up a load of stuff, give an origin story to Mount Doom and the timeline makes NO SENSE. But what did you think of what you saw, or of the parts from the review? Let me know your thoughts below and as always, thanks for watching :)
They really do have no concept of time passage in this series. Who tells these people at what time they should do things in life? They clearly have no idea how to figure it out.
First they came for the lore and now they come for real life physics.
Tower falling - metal and bricks and fire crashing down - and one blackguard Elf stands there calculating the trajectory of every piece?
The writers' grasp of physics is about the same as their grasp of time, plot, conversation, military strategy and bladed weapon skills.
-We have to wait for orcs to cross the bridge!
- Wait...sir...I am just a sheep herder but...should we not defend the bridge? An obvious way of attack, one which forces our enemy into a choke point... maybe we should build barricades and try to hold the bridge till sunri...
- I said we have to wait for them to cross the bridge!
The hilt turning I to a key to start a huge mechanical ancient mechanised dam break was straight out of a Tomb Raider video game and a huge shark jump.
J.R.R. Tolkien spent his entire adult life meticulously constructing the people, places and lore of Middle Earth. A complex, explicitly defined world as intricate and unique as any real world. This show’s writers approached this magnum opus with haste and disregard. And, the result is a flaccid attempt that has less forethought than a daytime soap opera. What a shame…a literary and artistic crime, really.
@jJohn Doe what would he have made of the Great Mordor Cascade Into the tunnels of doom.
@@ianpatterson6552 given that sounds like the title of a theme park water ride, lots of money, I'd think.
Flaccid?
Not so sure.
I think they had a raging hard on for destroying his work.
“Haste?” Or “hates?” They probably admire some of it or did when they were younger but now that they are fully woke, they are re-dressing the wrongs from the original. Pretty sure they are convinced they are improving it.
Tolkiens books are shite, well.hqrd to read with enjoyment, everything this show does sets up Lord of the rings
The elf tower wasn't a fortification. It was an ancient elven game of Jenga.
Ohh! This explains everything!
LOL.
The Elves: "Are you guys insane?! Do you know how many centuries it took us to stack up that tower?! We were really proud of it. That was the highest we ever got!"
It would have been hilarious if they pulled out a block at the bottom and it fell. :P
I read that as “fornication” and was extremely confused.
- YES! galadriel died in a wall of flame!!!
- she cannot die, she is in films...
- LET ME HAVE THIS MOMENT!!!
At least Galadriel in the films was likeable unlike this Galadriel.
Plot twist: This wasn't the real Galadriel - this was just some rando who happened to have the same name.
This isn’t set in the Jackson film continuity, no need to sully Cate Blanchett with this manure.
Pyroclastic clouds? No problem.
Hair still in charge.
3weather Taft!
This is just another one of the Dark One’s visions to Rand.
If he had won the last battle he would’ve started working with amazon to destroy beloved stories from all over the cosmere
i love how they made the thousand years old elf have the mentality of a sixteen year old girl. makes for a really good character
Maybe they intended to portray elves as reaching (mental) maturity much slower due to their prolonged lifespan. Similar to yodas species.
Which is pretty dumb since elves are (and this is from my limited knowledge, correct me if im wrong) generally considered to be a superior master race on all levels, including the young ones.
@@zCREz "Maybe they intended to portray elves as reaching (mental) maturity much slower due to their prolonged lifespan"
No, they dont think about it that much. They think being a total bytch is "badass".
“…getting cooked like a Chicken 🍗…” 😂😂
That’s offensive to 16yo girls 💀
When you really think about it, it's like the Elven equivalent of having Downs. She should be the calmest and most intelligent person in every scene and a combat expert, but she's constantly making bad choices and getting caught up in her emotions.
I like how they have the Orcs, creatures that can see in the dark, carry torches everywhere.
Yeah, you'd expect creatures that live underground would have something like, oh I don't know...Darkvision?
They just like fire, I guess?
The creatures that hate light. >.>
This made no sense to me either. I think it's some lame attempt at more allegory. I got Charlottesville, Tiki torches, "Jews will not replace us" vibes when I saw that.
I have been thinking the same since i saw them carrying torches, aren't they supposed to see in the dark? I don't remember if the actual lore mentions that.
This show has done the impossible and made people root for Sharon
You can do it, Sharon!
Sauron + Karen = Sharon
FOR SHARON!
@@silverscorpio24 LOL I did the same math
@@silverscorpio24 Skauren
"Commander of the Northern Army"
There were originally thousands of elves in the Northern Army, but in the course of centuries of Galadriel's command, all but a handful of the elves fell off cliffs, got left behind in swamps and blizzards, starved, or got chopped up by trolls while Galadriel watched idly for a bit before casually defeating the enemy.
Most committed suicide just to end their suffering.
In the end, there can be only one.
"No horses were harmed during the making of this show"
That aged poorly. RIP horse, you will be remembered.
Thought the same thing 😂
Galadrial telling halbrand to get over being angry at the head orc.
Also galadrial chasing sauron to kill him because she can't get over her anger.
I wonder what Cate Blanchett thinks of the Galadriel portrayal on this show. I'm betting she's not liking it at all.
......for centuries!!
She wanted to interrogate him first.
Just turn your brain off, it'll be fine 🤷♀️ ignore the shit writing
@@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers sure but why the line about sea water? She sounds like she is giving advice not to give into revenge (which is hilarious coming from her). If she wanted him alive for questioning that's all she had to say.
Gotta love how the Elf dude didn't even bother trying to melt or at least soften the sword in the forge, just banged it with a small hammer unsuccessfully and declared "It's indestructible". At least when Gimli tried to destroy the one ring, it was a battle axe vs a small piece of jewelry...
To be fair
His mind was elsewhere…
@@Halfwit_The_Brave he has one of those?
He could have also tossed it down the well...
@@insertclevernamehere1186
Rather he stuck it in his prison pocket.
Reminds me of hot rod, when Rod is banging the engine is his garage with a hammer
Galadriel: "Remember Adar, when I promised to kill you last?"
Adar: "That's right, Galadriel! You did!"
Galadriel: "I lied!"
Miriel: Where's Adar?
Galadriel: I let him go.
"let off some steam Adar"
Hal-Ran: …you remember me?
Adar: …no.
The yugioh abridged reference i didn't know i needed, thank you
Okay Arnold
The Southlanders started in the stone tower. Then they moved to the wooden constructed village and finally they ended up in the straw-roofed tavern. Where did they get inspiration for their battle plans? “The three little pigs?”
Why didn't the orc's just burn the tavern...this whole thing (series) is a joke.
@@joshmatlock1020 Yeah, they know the sword is indestructible. Just burn it and get the sword.
So let me get this straight: Sauron devoted himself to healing, while Galadriel devoted herself to genocide and revenge?? And she's supposed to be a hero we should all aspire to??
I'm siding with Sauron!
jfc the writers can't even write a being of evil properly!
Or perhaps Sauron wrote this show, deliberately presenting himself as a sympathetic healer and slandering all his enemies.
@@matiasluukkanen7718 That... would explain so much, really.
They wrote harfoots into existence and those fuckers are pure evil.
So.. They can write evil. But in their eyes it's good.
She’s the hero Harfoots deserve.
This has been a theme in Hollywood for years. Disparu hits the nail on the head in this video. Every bad guy has to have some justification for being evil.
When Isildur gave his horse a bite on the apple I thought "Come on, give the poor horse the whole apple", then he threw it in the ocean and I couldn't stop laughing for a good 10 minutes.
He didn't finish, then threw it in the ocean instead of giving it to the horse?! lmao Seriously writing is hard.
Everyone in this show is a self-absorbed ally.
Isn't that what happened in the animated film The Road to El Dorado? Then the horse jumped off the boat to get the apple. Then Elton John began to sing and sing and sing, then sang some more.
@@skylx0812 "and I think it's gonna be a long long time, until I fish this apple from the brine..."
I thought that was stupid to. As I did much else with this show.
I'll just never get over Galadriel dodging arrows by hanging on the horse then slashing orcs in half while hanging
The second one she’s riding away but still manages to somehow intuit the trajectory of the arrow.
I don't always do impossible moves on a horse, but when I do, I make sure to wear a full suit of plate armor with loose flowing hair.
if this wasnt supposed to be a lady elf from the books, it would be badass.
Meh, this show has its problems - many problems - but that was about a 3 on the Legolas Scale, or at worst a 4.
@@nooneinparticular1491 "IT ONLY COUNTS AS ONE " even though its in two pieces. Just funny that taking down a war elephant(creature thing )with full cabin is something Legolas has done.
*"Just by the fact he’s two foot taller than me."*
Orcs are short. It wasn’t until the emergence of the Uruk-Hai in the Third Age that orcs even approached man height, and they never got close to elven stature. Yes. Galadriel should be towering over every orc she meets, not staring up at their Uruk’s apple.
Near the beginning of the video Disparu points out that someone in the show pronounces “orc” oddly - but it’s just the actor saying Uruk lol.
Someone involved in making this show must’ve watched a few minutes of the LOTR movie and heard those orcs referred to as Uruk and just rolled with it ; )
Indeed. The classic Tolkien Orcs are more like Goblins from D&D.
Isildur's mother: *dies*
Elendil: "The sea is always right!"
I actually said that when he said she drowned, and then laughed. It's impressive how it still manages to surprise me by how bad it is.
@@Kavriel Yeah it’s very bizarre and nonsensical lol
LOL!
Watch the vision Galadriel has after touching the Palantir and you'll get to say it again and get another laugh lol
Can't help but think, that if Frodo had offered the one ring to this Galadriel, then that particular story would've gone quite differently. Frodo: You take it, Galadriel: yoink, now grovel before me inferior peasant!
that's the point though. tolkien described the first/second age galadriel as proud and desiring to reign her own land/empire. she was banned from entering valinor due to her pride. so that's why she says "i passed the test, i will return to the west/valinor and remain galadriel" when she manages to reject the ring in the third age.
@@Dystisis Pretty sure she wasn't banned, but rather chose to remain. The test was acceptance or rejection of the Ring and Sauron's power contained within, and was essentially a 3rd Age thing only (I.e., not connected to the ambition that brought her to Middle-Earth in the first place).
@@Dystisis r/woooooosh..read it again..it doesn't happen like that
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 she’d fucking loved the One Ring this hoe
you misspelled her name, it is actually, GaladraChild
Contrast the Bronwyn scene with the Helm's Deep scene in LOTR, when they had to conscript ordinary people to defend the fortress, the atmosphere was so somber and desperate.
Right--I love that scene where Aragorn takes this shitty sword that some little boy wants The Hero to approve of, swings it thru the air a few times, fights to hold back a grimace at what a crap blade it is, then gives it back to the kid with the hopeful words: "This is a good sword." (OMG, i just now re-watched it and literally shed a tear seeing that scene for the umpteenth time! Verdict: With PJ, your eyes are apt to tear up. With ROP, they're apt to ROLL up.)
Remind me again why are the orcs that managed to capture the entire group of trained elves being beaten by villagers with pointed sticks?
It's because you're RAYSIST and MASAGANNIST or something like that
Cause Feminism, Duuuh!
"The message"
They came at them with pointed sticks, that's why. (Monty Python reference)
@@maryeckel9682 Now if they have only have been armed with fruit, the orcs would have had no chance.
I never thought I'd say this, but... Team Sauron.
After the end where everyone died, there's no other team but Team Sauron.
Clueless farmers: taking down orcs like it's nothing.
Elf warrior: struggles against one orc without a weapon.
Makes sense
Barely an inconvenience, I'd say.
In all fairness they were fighting their own people.
the orc wasn't even trying to kill him. it was just tossing him around
Well we’re all safe because we have zero emotional connection to this Tolkien fan fiction. Just think how pissed you’d be if it was supposed to be actually good. Like if you’d seen the Fellowship of the Ring and the Two Towers, but then Return of the King comes out and it is a hot woke, nonsensical mess. I feel thankful that all the pre release Super Fan and how world saving important it is to have black female dwarves stuff came out. They completely detached me from this garbage before the first episode aired. Thanks Amazon.
@@clogs4956 you are obviously eagerly anticipating the pitch meeting for this show! I’m looking forward to the massive amount of indignant “I don’t knows“ haha
Remember how Theoden moved his people from Edoras to Helm's Deep because it was a much more fortified location as he knew that with their numbers they couldn't hope to win a battle like that, especially not against thousands of Uruks? Yeah, that's what a smart person would do. But there are no smart people in this show.
"It is strange. Most of my life I've looked east to see the sun rise over the sea, and west to see it set over the land. We're sailing into the dawn, and yet, to me, it feels like the coming of night." ... "She Drowned."
This episode truly felt like a medieval comedy special. I was laughing all the way through.
Monty python and the Holy grail was more authentic than this series lol
That was so random and hilarious. I can't wait to finish my recap vid on this utter drivel. Gonna be a glorious roasting time haha
"What, an African or European swallow?"
Nevermind the fact that in Middle Earth the sun rises in the WEST, in Valinor, not in the east. Another fuckup by the writers. 😂🤦♀️
‘She drowned’
THE SEA IS ALWAYS RIGHT!
It's almost like every scene is written by different writers and none of them have any idea what the previous scene was about.
I think that was actually the case. Not sure though.
Not surprised if that’s actually the case
My theory is that they each wrote a paragraph and shuffled them on the floor and took turns choosing them blindly, taped them on the wall and stood behind their actions.
If Overlord DVD's rumors are to be believed, they very likely have 'scrapbooked' the whole series, much as they clearly have with She-Hulk, which would explain why there is such an outrageously enormous budget for the series as a whole, and for each episode, with so many corners being cut where we can see them. Copy-pasted extras, print-on T-shirts instead of armor, 3-D printed foam painted to look like armor for actors and horses, and the general lack of polish. Having to film 3+ completely different versions of every scene HAS to be expensive.
This episode has 4 writers so it is most likely the reason why it's such a epic mess.
I find it telling how the "Rings of Girl Power" handles the familial relationships between the elves. At this point, Galadriel is supposed to be married AND have a daughter who is dating Elrond. Not to mention Galadriel is Gil-galad's grand-aunt. Interesting that for a show that 'went back to the books' that these relationships aren't even shown/cared about AT ALL!
Its ok, Arwen doesn't need a mom.
What happened to Celeborn? Did he die or never met Galadriel?
@@opticalraven1935 not even mentioned
This series doesn't have a SINGLE nuclear family outside of the hartfoots
Wait, I thought Elrond Half-Elven (the movies pretty much forget this) was the son of Galadriel's daughter -- she's his grandmother, isn't she? Isn't he the son of the elf-maid and human warrior who tanked Morgoroth, Sauron's satanic boss? That's one reason Aragorn (in love with Elrond's daughter) is singing the lay of Luthien in the book, and the film. (Not that this improves the situation in the show, if I'm recalling correctly.)
I literally just finished reading the story of Beren and Lúthien in Tolkien’s Silmarillion. Tolkien’s writing is to Rings of Power, what a five star gourmet meal is to rotten leftovers straight out of the trash.
Heresy eventually perishes after it's lies are made naked and clear upon the sight of those it hopes to blind! We must stop watching this even for negative publicity because it feeds the amazon rating system. Take heart and join us for our EXSURGE TOLKIEN counter rings of power heresy series on our channel. It will be a happy thought in these dark times.

@@DJRockford83 lol, oh dear lol
It’s like comparing the Mona Lisa to a smiley face scrawled onto a piece of 1-ply toilet paper with a hooker’s lipstick
That’s the one I use for wheel of time show watchers who haven’t reas the real story.
All the silly booby traps in the orc invasion scenes made me feel like I was watching the Middle Earth version of Home Alone. I kept waiting on Adar to slip on a hot wheels and and the orc behind him get hit in the face with a can of paint
😅🤣😂😂🤣
I'd watch that lol
So Galadriel had to stop Halbrand from killing the elf baddy saying “we need him alive.” Then proceed to say she’ll save him for last, to Halbrand stopping Galadriel from killing the elf baddy. What is happening?
Bad reboot writing !
Literary whiplash
Because they started with an idea that Guyladriel would say "You pulled me back" to Halbrand, and him saying "you did that to me first," then shoehorned a shitty way for those lines to make sense.
This is honestly the worst writing I've ever seen in anything. It surpasses even Troll 2.
A bunch of tit-for-tat hypocrites who can't stay true to their own principles.
@@theeffete3396 ohh dude that's a low bar....I doubt anything tops troll 2. But this is soooooooooooooooo close ;)
i mean at this point i am 100% unironically rooting for Sauron to come back and just demolish this world.
trust me, we'll all be better off that way.
Exactly
Cause after he will create an evil empire of his own, we will get the original adventure.
Er, the only way out of this writing hole is for Sauron - I mean "Halbrand" - to tank the volcano.
I'm 100% with you
Ironically, Saurbrand is the only person there that CAN plausibly tank a volcano, given his power and resistance to fire as a spirit isn't clearly defined xD
At least Galadriel is totally dead
Welcome to Team Sauron!
I love how the villagers' battle plan was essentially the same plan as the one from Shawn of the Dead: Go to the pub and wait it out lol
"Mom, can we have the Battle of Helm's Deep?"
"We have the Battle of Helm's Deep at home."
With military strategy like this, it's a wonder Sauron bothered making rings to win.
I'm betting in the season finale, they will not show a ring, but strongly suggest that a ring is about to be made

Umm Sauron once got beaten up and lost his physical body to a Little Elf Princess and her Dog.
Is it wrong that I’ve been waiting for Disparu’s breakdown of this travesty all day?
No, Disparu is bestparu
Nope me to been checking every 10 mins this evening lol. I won’t watch it so thank Disparu and knights watch for suffering for me lol x
No, not at all. It's an understandable feeling lol
You're in good company
No mate. I woke up to Disparu’s She-Hulk review and have also been waiting for this review all day. 😊
Was Guyladrial the only one in the army they didn't give a helmet to because they were hoping she would take an arrow to the head?
My biggest fear about this show is that people new to Tolkien will think this is Tolkiens world ...
Sadly that's the whole idea. These ideologues won't stop until all great works are replaced with their agenda laden garbage.
I love that they use the term Uruk even though that's the term for Orcs in Black Speech, which was invented by Sauron to teach all of his forces in Mordor... which hasn't been founded yet.
Shhh, it's anachronism. They're being edgy. I mean it's not as though Mt. Doom existed during Morgoth's time. You're racist and misogynistic if you point out such glaring inconsistencies.
@@JPGotrokkits "Go back to the book, go back to the book, go back to the book"
stopp right there. who said you can use logic and common sense?!
@@DDickinson458 They did bro! It just wasn't any book written by Tolkien.
Wrong. "In the Second Age, Sauron corrupted and combined Valarin and Quenya to create Black Speech, which he intended to make the official language of all who served him. He ultimately failed in this purpose, although several generations of Orcs were probably bred in Mordor and raised on this language before the War of the Last Alliance. "
I like how, when the volcano explodes, everyone is running around and trying to help while Galadriel just stands there. 'Galadriel' as Sauron confirmed! So so evil
Stunning and brave of her to not stop someone and berate them about how great she is while they choke on the ash and smoke, lol.
I like how water makes lava explode like a bomb
Adar said he did kill Sauron, and right after Galadriel tries to kill him. That's Sauron.
I like how Miriel said "take cover!" WHERE SHOULD I TAKE COVER, O GRAND REGENT, THERE ARE FIREBALLS RAINING FROM THE SKY AND THESE HOUSES HAVE THATCH ROOFS. smh.
@@imthedevilkys536 Looking at the topography, that lava would have to be way down there in the cone for the water to flow there to reach it too, unless the water also flowed uphill.
Morgoth creates dragons, balrogs etc but somehow when he tortures and twists elves he just gives them a bad attitude but they still look the same. That guy being the first Orc was just silly
I'm amazed Adar survived all those millenia despite being barely above the weakest mooks of Morgoth's armies.
Seriously he supposedly got tortured twisted and mutated by Morgoth but he just looks like he woke up late.
@@OljeiKhan woke up late felt emo might delete
@@OljeiKhan And needs some blackhead pore scrub!!
Well Morgoth didn’t create Balrogs at least in Tolkiens final concepts of middle earth they were lesser Maiar who tuned in with Melkors alternating melody of the Ainulindale and manufested as fire spirits in Arda. After they officially joined Melkor they remanifested as Balrogs.
We often see the concept that weaker, less physical ancient beings automatically shapeshift in a form which mirrors their character and the appearance of a Balrog is a pretty good depiction of a fire spirit who turns evil.
Despite there are older concepts were it’s mentioned that Morgoth created the Balrogs it was later cancelled, because indeed evil should not be able to create something.
If Melkor was able to somehow „multiply“ them and their total number is unclear and controversial.
I personally prefer the idea that if they increased in number at one point that just more fire spirits officially converted to him in Arda
Its pretty much the concept of melkor being Lucifer the archangel and Balrogs are fallen angels which joined him and became demons after loosing their wings and after the fall
Btw Gandalf or Olorin is also a Maia and fought his own evil kin in Moria
The term lesser Maia at balrogs is probably not referred to as being less powerful but less intelligent or having less character strenght
But it’s also not really clear how the Istari were ranked within maiars but i don’t think they belong to the most powerful in terms of raw battle power if we take a look at sauron also a maiar
I know it’s completely unclear but i think tom bombadil is an example of a top tier maiar
Dragons are also most likely not created by Morgoth at least not completely out of thin air. We don’t know their origin, except that Glaurung was the father of all dragons.
It was very nice of the orcs to give bits of actual armor to the villagers. Dude with the skull helmet was better equipped than most of the orcs.
Love how Guyladingdong was acting high and mighty when everything was easy and safe but the moment shit really hits the fan and a volcano explodes, she goes into total shock and is absolutely unable to act. Not sure what message they are trying to send here.
Next week they will retroactively rewrite what we just saw (the cheapest TV trick). So we'll see them hiding or being saved by Gil-galad or whatever.
@@maak6270 By Gl-Galad?! Never! He's the evil m-word ...
I bet Disa shows up to safe her in the last second. She sung her way through the underground and opens an escape tunnel right before her feet ...
@@Rezzatoni Haha you're right. She will blow away the lava and toxic cloud, with her mighty song :)
If you can’t take the heat, stay in the kitchen.
It’s hilarious how fans of this show can only rely on “great visuals” as justification for it being a good show 😂
There are also people who claim to be serious scholars of Tolkien who have explained that when the show breaks the lore, we are not to take that at face value. That its all a trick by Sauron operating off-screen in the show.
The Tolkien professor is an idiot. Nerd of the Rings saddens my heart, I loved his content, but now he has sold his soul to amazon
Shows how shallow they are
“She has a great personality”
If only they had spent the money on visuals for a better written show. Imagine having a show with good writing AND good visuals!
I didn’t think I’d ever see fight choreography worse than that in The Last Jedi. Thanks to RoP, I have.
Did they forget that their orcs burn in even the slightest sunlight? Like when they're fighting the Numenorians? They keep trying to remind us of what happened but who's reminding them of what happened?
"She fights the Orc and kills it with two strokes. Somehow."
Obviously, Disparu, she fought with her feet and not her arms.
That's why she started off by stabbing the orc in the foot, so it couldn't fight! She really is a military genius.
I LOVED the scene when Gretadriel said to the volcano poisonous cloud: "HOW DARE YOU!?"
So inspiring!
You have not seen what she has seen
lol. You wouldn't even have time to worry about breathing in toxicity from that cloud. You'd be instantly incinerated. Like every single character in that village is dead.
what's a volcano to a tempest?
@@aminuolawale1843 hahahaha!!!
pyroclastic flow is like 1000 degrees Celsius ... everyone should have melted then and there and the show should've ended.
I was rooting for my boy Adar so hard this episode.
That cloud heading toward everyone at the end looks suspiciously like a _Pyroclastic Flow,_ which is defined as "a dense, destructive mass of very hot ash, lava fragments, and gases ejected explosively from a volcano and typically flowing downslope at great speed." Further, the gases and tephra can reach temperatures of about 1,000 °C (1,800 °F). *Superman* might be able to handle it, but I don't know about everyone else.
IF they had portrayed Galadriel as the sorcerer she is , she could have shown her worth by doing some "high mana cost" spell wich saves some of the people but drains her extremely. So we get to see her passion for life. Being an Elf and all that...
And as someone pointed out on Twitter the magma would have to have been in a pressurised container for an eruption on that scale to happen. The steam generated by the water would then build up until it generated enough pressure to blow the top off the container. But the vent wasn't sealed by rocks so there shouldn't have been a massive explosion in the first place.
@@craigthompson6466 That is correct, of course. Since the writers have no knowledge of JRR Tolkien other than a few Wikipedia paragraphs, how can we expect them to have any knowledge of Vulcanology?
yeah, they all should be dead. You can't outrun it either from this close.
Here’s my summary of Episode 6:
a) Left a perfectly defendable strong fortress and moved to a crappy undefendable hamlet
b) Tower falling over - WTF
c) The battle at the Hamlet - woeful strategy, tactics
d) Galadriel- wooden as always
e) Timelines don’t match
f) Numenorion Tardis ships
g) How did they know to gallop to the town and rescue them? How was that coordinated?
h) Elf gets bashed by one orc, saved by alpha female - predictable to the point I predicted it will watching
I) Elf hands Morgoth weapon to a teenager to make safe - WTF!
J) Mount Doom - words fail me…..
The gallop to that town would be over 70 miles and involving crossing over a mountain range.
I was going to go with jet propelled horses but tardis works just fine as well maybe even better. LOL
I was also confused about why the people in the village seemed so familiar with the soldiers, especially Arondir with Galadriel. She rides up directly to him, and he immediately tells her what he's trying to do, and she instantly goes off and does it. We know all of these characters, but unless I missed something they don't all know each other. I think the writers are forgetting that the characters aren't watching the show, they only know what's going on in their area.
The show is written in super simple way and telegraphs a LOT. A lot of decisions are idiotic. For example, when town MILF gets shot with an arrow and they are saving her the orcs outside just chill. Yep, they are doing nothing. Orcs have sooooo many torches, my first thought would be to smoke these idiots out. My first thought for defenders would be to take defensive positions... but they also ... chill???

The best thing about rings of Power is your reviews, already looking forward to your episode 7 review. Same as Nerdrotic, you guys make this worth it
I loved the part where Galadriel says to Halbrand: "Let's Transform and Roll Out" then takes off after Adar. Halbrand then transforms into Starscream and flies ahead (cuz how TF else did he get in front of them) to cut off Adar at the pass.
I got chills when Galadriel pick up a grenade launcher and aimed it at Hagrid and said "Hasta la vista, baby"
And the plot twist that Sauron's actually a replicant and this is all taking place in the Matrix? Truly top tier entertainment.
Excuse me, it's not a baby, it's just a clump of cells (angry face!)
Galadriel is Lucifer
Is that personal attack or something?
@@galihjati443 For Hagrid? Definitely.
So they stole from Shawn of the Dead where the master plan was to go to The Winchester, grab a pint, and wait for this all to blow over? BRILLIANT!
Weird you say that, because this battle legit reminded me of something from a zombie movie, with the survivors funnelling in brain-dead zombies down one path into an obvious trap.
This show has officially turned orcs into ineffective brainless zombies.
Personal ROFL moments:
13:11 - I've seen more romantic looks passed between people in their order of KFC.
29:35 - The new numinorians are here and they can both teleport and bend time and space!
39:05 - No horses were harmed during the making of this show.
42:43 - Have you considered posting that on Twitter, Galadriel?
48:22 - Quick! Somebody, get rid of the florist!
it was such an empowering moment, when Galadriel said:
"Sully, remember when I promised I would kill you last? I lied."
God bless Arnold
@@bastianstieg819 ahem guyladreeeeeeyaaalll
The structural integrity of that tower represents the structural integrity of the show…
A flimsy structure held together by piss poor writing and terrible characters a.k.a. the easily ignitable rope…
Did they seriously not have one person in that writing room that would stand up and say “hey I don’t think this is gonna work!”
Do you think these scriptwriters informally sat down with one another on a regular basis? You just know they wrote this remotely.
@@budwyzer77 While sipping wine and congratulating each other for writing such amazing characters
yeah, it was held together with toothpicks and dental floss, basically. mcgyver could have done better with those materials.
They fired the people who disagreed
@@BroadwayRonMexico You mean they "left" because of "creative differences"
I loved the scene when the patriarchy volcano volcanoxplains Guyladriel and she demands to talk to the manager. So stunning and brave!
Volcanoxplains! I’m dying!
She is reclaiming her power.

The writing process is to check boxes and make the story fit. Then these writers go with the first idea they get because they don't know where ideas come from and are afraid they won't get another one. Then to make things super easy for them they ignore time and space. This is known as the J.J. Abrams school of writing.
The first orc in ROP was like terminator , very hard to kill until you chop his head off, all other orcs in ROP die instant on any hit.
They made the same mistake as Force Awakens. Once you humanize the orcs or stormtroopers, and build up audience sympathy, hour heroes now look like unfeeling psychopaths when they kill hordes of these enemies. And this is worse since there is a hint that these orcs are displaced refugees. Are we supposed to be on the side of those killing displaced immigrants just looking for a new home?
Once we found out stormtroopers are brainwashed child soldiers, Rey shouting with glee when shooting them down makes her into a murderous oaf and Fin into some sort of psycho with no thought that he is killing his friends.
This is an excellent observation and makes me wonder whether the writers and producers, etc. are aware of it? Maybe they are trying to send the message that everyone is morally ambiguous and there are no real good guys or bad guys.
@@dronesclubhighjinks maybe. But they really seemed to try to make Rey and Galadriel perfect and moral with music cues, dialogue and lighting, and camera angles. So either they are undermining their message that no one is all good or bad or they didn’t realize the consequences of their writing.
We have Galadriel ruthlessly killing orcs for hundreds of years with no mercy. Yet they try to show she is heroic AND the orcs are not that evil. Or that hard to kill. So instead of killing terrifying forces of great evil and overwhelming strength, Galadriel has been murdering morally ambiguous orcs that untrained farmers and housewives can overwhelm.
That would be like making the Witch King a family man and get tricked by babies in a scene before Eowyn kills him. Kinda defeats the purpose.
The thing is the stormtroopers could be humanized because well... they are humans underneath the armor. Even in Legends they were humanized where you got stories like the one where a boy became a stromtrooper because his father got killed in a battle by rebels only for himself to later get killed by a kid who had picked up the rifle of the father that the stormtrooper had just killed in a firefight with rebels.
The problem is when you take a character who was once on the side of the stromtroopers and have them instantly act like a generic rebel who is savoring satisfying his blood lust by killing stormtroopers en mass. That undermines the whole "stormtroopers are people too" and completely undermine your characters doing that.
Orcs though? You cannot humanize those. In Tolkien's world pure good and pure evil actually exists, and orcs are pure evil creations. They are monstrous monsters who find people tasty and have no qualms about cannibalism.
@@dronesclubhighjinks That does not work in Lord of the Rings because Black and White morality actually exists in his world. Very few things are even capable of the grey zone, even then when they pick a side they go deep on that side.
The part where Adar and his army of orcs walk up to the gate and pretend to be delivering pizza, battle strategy at it's finest
Actually, I liked the Trojan Troll better. Hiding all those Orks in the backside of that Troll and then let him demand entry to the city, because he must go to the crapper, now!, was brilliant.
Totally telegraphed. You are certain no one is in the tower!
"pretend to delivering pizza"
thank, now I never dare order pizza anymore fearing there wil be an Orc at my door.
Mmm... Pizza...
Yes, and there's a hole cut in the pizza box 😂
I've never cheered so hard in my life than watching Guyladriel get consumed by the ash and fire. I mean I know she's gonna survive but I can at least pretend she died in that and that the show is officially over.
Seriously can't wait to see what dumbass reason they use to show how she survived.
When Gal said that she will leave him alive to make him see his offsprings dead is similar to what Morgoth said in the Silmarilion lol
I'm still wondering how Elves built a fortified tower that was basically held together with one rope.......then I'm wondering how all the villagers sneaked out of it without one single orc(or their human allies) seeing them.....then I'm wondering why not one of the orcs or their humans thought that putting a scout or two to watch the tower might be a good idea.... then I"m wondering why, having got into an Elven fortified tower, the villagers would then decide to leave it, and go to a village without a wall, with buildings made of timber and thatch, and would then conclude that IT was the place they would make their defensive position......then I'm wondering why the orcs are carrying torches when Professor Tolkien(remember him? ) wrote that they "could see like gimlets in the dark"...then I'm wondering why anyone, even an Elven princess in a fantasy show, would feature in a scene that had her willingly stand in front of a pyroclastic flow while wearing a suit of armour.......and then I'm wondering how anyone with even one functioning brain cell could watch this utter crap and think it was any good..........
I am wondering why there are so many self professed Tolkiens fans who on Facebook claim to love this show and how this was the bestest episode evah!
@@chaptermasterpedrokantor1623 fooking shils they are
@@chaptermasterpedrokantor1623 Some people legit aren't very bright.
To be fair, there was a clear “DO NOT CUT ROPE” sign posted there, which no one was expected to just blatantly disregard like that.
So, essentially the Activist Lady’s plan was to “Take car. Go to mum's. Kill Phil, grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.”
Not a bad plan, in another film.
"Would anyone like... a peanut?"
Fun Fact: A castle keep or any other fortress location, used for shelter in a prolonged siege situation, is only worth it's salt, if it has been constructed around an independent, protected, water source, like a well, spring, creek etc.
I am happy you came up with the two arrows on Bronwin. I also noticed that, but did not speak about with anyone, since it is such a trivial detail. But confirming it is really nice. Same thing with the master plot. The orc having built a trench to lead the water to the volcano. It is the most far fetched idea you could have. The orcs did not need the broken sword, they could have destroy the dam directly. The attack of the village is also completly dumm, they should have attacked from all direction, and not always come from this tiny bridge. The more you think, the worst it gets. Yes there is some action, but nothing makes sense. The worse being that the numenorian came on time and at the right place. How could they possibly know that some orcs have gathered there? The middle earth is a continent, having this kind of coincidence is a huge finger to the lore.
Right now the only reasonable point about getting excited for a new lotr episode is knowing that Disparu will make a video about it. You never fail to make me laugh. Thank you!
Please don't call this lotr. This is RoP, and has NOTHING to do with LotR.
Yeah same!
I know !! And Charlie Hopkinson and Liene's Library can't wait every week lol!!
"One cannot satisfy thirst with sea water"
Wow that's like, so poetic.
Why they chose "sea water" instead of "blood" is mind blowing.
@@tun0fun ngl, that actually sounds a lot better given the circumstances.
From the creators of "Give me the meet and give it to me raw!" and "Do you know why the ship sails and the stone not?"
Guy-ladriel: One cannot satisfy thirst with sea water.
Sauron: Why?
Everybody: because the sea is always right!
@@anastudio5248 meat*
Another thing to not think about, the Numenoreans were noted to not make much use of horses for combat.
Remember when we were ripping on the Battle of Winterfell against the white walkers? How there was so many things that just didn't make sense or was just cheesy.
Seeing this synopsis of the RoP battle makes me miss those days. Now I can't rip on it without thinking Amazon did it worse.
"There are many ways to kill an orc"
*Villager backhands orc to death*
*Villager smacks orc with stick*
"Hey, you're right!"
To be fair there is a scene in Balin's tomb where Sam is smacking Orcs with frying pan during battle in the movies. That being said this show is still awful.
This mass of ash, gas and rock fragments can travel at speeds approaching 125 mph (200 kph). And with internal temperatures of 752 to 1,472 degrees F (400 to 800 degrees C), it can pretty much bake anything in its path.
Galadriel walked into this btw? So she's dead right? Oh, wait. Elves are now Targaryans it seems?
Fire resistance potion, +9000 fire retardant on the armour stats and a critical D20 roll.
@@clogs4956 hahaha that made me laugh far more than it should have 🤣🤣🤣
Woke writers don't know that kind of stuff.
Either she lives, or she will come back as Galadriel the White like Gandalf did in the 2 tower.
She's not dead for sure 😂😂
@@madjoe8622 We aren't that lucky I guess.
If anything, they're all dead, and the show and our pain is over and we can all just watch house of the dragon instead which despite being a bit woke can still tell a good story.
Unlike RoP
No, it's far more cunning. As Ardar said, Galadriel is evil as f*ck. And as we learned from her in the first episode, evil inhibits fire to burn. So it will turn out that Galadriel is so evil the pyroclastic stream will turn into a normal cloud of dust and rocks, and as an elv she can easily avoid being hit by any of those thousands of rocks tumbling down with great speed. And you will be stunned by the final revelation that Galadriel planned it exactly this way: that she nurtured the evil inside her to protect her against fire. Her explanation will end with the words: to survive in war, one has to become war ...
You would think some of the "bad" villagers would be hesitant to actually fight others when push comes to shove, not only because it's their ex-fellow villagers but because they are completely untrained for battle and lack motivation. Experienced soldiers sometimes lose their cool and run, but these ones were trying to kill fellow villagers like pros.
Even Xena pounded Gabriel on the chest when she stopped breathing. It was an epic scene. But these people just stare at a person who has “died”.
I liked the part where Galadreyal bypassed the compressor.
She could only do that because she is all the elves.
All the future she elf dna is within her
Everyone knew she was awesome because they saw her morbing.
My only regret is the not-hobbits weren't in the village to get fried in lava like the rest of them.
Nah, should've had a competition between the Numenorians and villagers to see who could punt the little buggers further into the lava
Honestly the Hobbits are not the worst part of this series.
@@defaultuser9423 They're not the worst but they are the most pointless. They serve no purpose other than to take the Hobbits and invert them, making them brutal psychos who abandon their own at the drop of a hat.
@@defaultuser9423 they are very evil, just not killing folks like the orcs yet.
U have literally turned the show into a comedy with your commentary and salvaged the show. I now have motivation to watch it further🤣
50:25 Lmao that is a modern roofing hatchet. The slot in the side is for prying nails out and measuring overhang of shingles 😂😂
I thought it looked familiar
How did Halbrand get in front of Adar? “Can he fly?” You ask. Voldemort can fly. Just saying.
"They fly now?"
Voldermort is a pussy, Galadsheher is the new dark lord.....
Reeee
Instant transmission :-)
Magic. See, simple. Every stupid thing can be explained with "magic".
@@adruvail they fly now.
So the Southland villagers had time to travel to the tower, concoct a plan, rig a trap, *leave* the tower, get back to the village and *set up more traps before the Orcs reach them?!* Why is that a better alternative than book it North or West to a larger and more secure city?!
This was written by people who don't know anything and think that the most impressive set piece will make up for the lack of basic common sense or logic
Anybody with two cents of common sense knows that, but the confusing scene you so eloquently described well that apparently costs a billion dollars.
This is as bad as Batman's The Dark Knight Rises. In that idiocy, Batman hung on side of a building to draw a huge bat symbol with tons of gasoline that he somehow creates a trail ALL the way to the bridge area and at the right angle for the villain to see. That movie was utter garbage and this show is going there.
@@fr9714 Do you know The Big Lebowski? The scene where he says: "What the fuck does anything have to do with Vietnam?"
Well let me ask you now: What the fuck does anything have to do with The Dark Knight Rises?
Cause then they couldn't have the battle and Numenor come and save them in the nick of time. It's script writing by numbers or some shit. Moronic.
"No horses were harmed in the making of this show." That didn't age well.
Please never stop reviewing this show. Keep it up with season 2. its one of my entertainment highlights every week. Cause good shows....well nothing there^^
Well done Disparu. Don't let the hacks off, not for even the smallest bit of stupidity. They took a man's life's work and shat on it. This isn't any old bit of fantasy, this is Middle earth!! Tolkien!!! No fkin mercy.

My favourite part of Galadriel is how she takes a pyroclastic flow from a volcano straight to the face while in a heroic pose of defiance. No probs right.
it's only 800°C, a summer's day in Florida
With rocks, at 100kph, up to 700kph. Luckily these circumstances won't "incinerate living organisms instantaneously or turn them into carbonized fossils" right... RIGHT?
Remember the bit from the 1st episode when the evil made the fire no longer hot? 🙄
This infuriates me so much. I am sitting here screaming right now, glad I didnt watch the episodes myself
@@meliagant1650 why going through the torture of watching it, while you can have so much fun with this video?
I love how your reviews are much more entertaining than the series itself.
I’m shocked it took this long for someone to bring up how he draws his arrows. It’s been bothering me this whole time lol
Did anyone else root for the orcs throughout the episode or was it just me?
I was because I knew either the town was going to win or numenor was going to save them but if this show made sense then the orcs would have wiped the town out and then they would have erupted the volcano and it would have been more believable
I was hoping that Galadriel would gallop in and kill everyone, orcs and all, and then go and jump off another boat and meet her untimely demise, but unfortunately that didn't happen.
I personally thinks it's very kind of Amazon and Disney+ to put so much money into ensuring that CZcamsrs will have content to produce. Imagine if everything was great, wouldn't make for as good review videos.
Same, same.
@@angelalewis3645 Arcane!!!! youtube exploded for months.
What I’ve found most interesting about this whole series is that your reviews have gotten progressively longer
With each episode there’s additional information to dissect and dots to connect. The chaotic nature of the plot lines and outright lazy writing will naturally result in longer reaction videos. It will become at some point an exhausting exercise in futility trying to untangle this mess 😂
@@charleshiga4655 totally agree 🤣🤣 what mess. Good luck @Disparu I look forward to the 12hr retrospective of season 1 hahaha
the scene where the orc tells Arondir that the people will all die, and then dies halfway through the conversation, is a copy paste from the two towers where the orc tells Legolas that Aragorn took a little tumble off the cliff, then dies. Originality is not Amazon's strong point.
The horse chase scene was a direct copy of Arwen escaping the ring wraiths. lol. Even telling her horse to go faster in elvish.
I've increasingly noticed that there are lines in rings of power, that are taken from LOTR, and in a desperate attempt to hide this fact, been changed a little! Problem is, they've been given to uninspiring bland drones, and therefore fall completely flat!
The pain continues to grow!
It's happened every episode!
Looking forward to someone saying 'We cannot simply walk into Mordor'
@@MoffatLee one cannot simply stand a volcanic blast to the face. It is folly for anyone to try.
"No horses were harmed during the making of this show"......I wish.
I would have loved that, at the moment they say "Is Galadriel" someone asked loudly "WHO THAT?"
"What happened to Sauron?"
"No"
"We can't find the bloody elf"
This is the greatest example of RoP's horrible writing. I was completely sure the orc was talking about Sauron, because you know he was the subject of the phrase: "What happened to Sauron" but nope, it was Arondir. Do Orcs have problems with socializing? Because if not then tell me how is it justified for anyone on a tv series to just hop in a conversation like that and casually change the topic and the grammaticam subject of the sentence.
The thing about that moment of Arondir being like "Galadriel...🤯" is that this is the kind of reaction the REAL Galadriel should and would get from people if she ever showed up out of nowhere, but the show version of Galadriel absolutely has not earned this reaction. She's done almost nothing for the entire show.
Well, at least Arondir’s actor doing his job properly 😂😂😂😂
