Anyone else have no interest in watching this show but addicted to watching critiques?
Same 😂
that's me
I've found my people! 😊
It's the only thing that is entertaining😂
@@filiadei5560 so true
Time Galadriel spends looking for Sauron: 1000 years
Time Galadriel spends looking for her missing husband: 0 years
Tells everyone she wants revenge for her brother's death but only mentions her husband who is presumed dead to some random kid she just met. Uh, sure, *that* makes sense...
He went to the corner store for cigarettes and never came back.
Wild they’d give -David Benioff and D.B. Weiss- erm, excuse me, J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay one of the the most well know fantasy epic’s in literature to make a television show with almost zero prior experience.
@@toothgrinder2760 JJ Abrams made a call to Amazon. McKay and Payne (McP ?) are from Bad Robot.
And so continues Bad Reboot vandalizing franchises with their acolytes.
Would YOU come back home to her?? 😳🥴🥴 He ran. Celeborn is living it up right now in Some secret glade of Forrest nymph 🧝♀️ elves, drinking fine Elvish brew enjoying his escape from his insufferable wife. She’s going to find him later in the show and it’s going to be an entire ordeal of Galadriel being angry at her hubby and his harem of side elves. And we’ll get an entire episode lecture about how Men think with the wrong sword….. While hiding the just ended R-ship with halbrand-a-Saurus. 😉😉🥴🤣🥴🤣🥴🤣
Lessons learned today:
1.) Volcanic eruptions target specific areas and are actually less dangerous than an out of control barbecue
2.) Being best buddies for over twenty years hasn't lead to learning basic communication in each others' languages for Durin and Elrond.
3.) Mithril is basically a battery to restore elvish HP
4.) Milennia old elves sometimes need to learn basic morality in a span of twenty minutes
5.) Blindfolds prevent people from knowing your blind
6.) Celeborn is dead ... but maybe he isn't ;)
7.) Orcs can smell man flesh from miles away but cannot smell a boy and an elf underneath a tree trunk directly in front of them
8.) Nobody goes off trail. Except to find the big magic guy everybody believes to be evil.
9.) You could ride from Croatia to Denmark with an open belly
10.) THE SOUTHLANDS ARE MORDOR!!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT??? REALLY!!! NOT KIDDING!!! UNBELIEVABLE. M.I.N.D.B.L.O.W.N.
3 and 5 made me giggle :'D
I liked the "from Croatia to Denmark". Gave me a whole other understanding than "from LA to Salt Lake City"
*From reality*
_The Swedish King Karl XII's ride from Pitești to Stralsund (in present-day northern Germany) was the king's return journey through Europe to Swedish territory, ending his long stay in the Ottoman Empire since the summer of 1709._
_The king started his ride together with the officer Otto Fredrik Düring before midnight on 27 October 1714 from Pitești (in Wallachia, present-day Romania), whereupon in just a fortnight they arrived at Stralsund in Swedish Pomerania on the night of 11 November. With his remarkable ride, Karl XII had covered 2,152 kilometers, that is, more than 150 km per day._
And that is, his horse rode 150 km per day.
Forgot one. You can swim the Equivalent of the Atlantic with no rest, and still look as though you just crossed a swimming pool width wise 😅
I didn’t know Tolkien paid tribute to his wife like that. It’s really beautiful and heartwarming.
and they just spit on their graves
Celeborn is dead and Guyladriel is flirting with budget Aragorn who's totally not Sauron. What the hell are they even doing? also trying to pull a mystery story with Isildur when we bloody know he's not dead.
I hate the series with a passion, but... come on, it's not flirting, it's Amazon trying to portray a platonic bond between battle companions.
…and to force the Isildur idiocy they reduce Elendil to a soul-less bastard who leaves his sons body behind. FU, showrunners.
Don't forget the Don Lemon Elf
Honestly wouldn't be shocked if Isildur is killed off at some point abd Galadriel cuts the ring off Saurons hand
If I was a gambling man I'd wager they added Celeborn much later but regardless we all know he's gonna be another damn mystery box.
I am genuinely disgusted with their theft of tolkiens backstory for his wife.🤢🤮😠🤬
Right? I did not know that part but just hearing how they stole it and adapted it for use in a series that spits in his face and legacy is just a disgrace on a whole new level. That's just wrong.
Apparently getting a volcano to the face equals a redemption arch in the eyes of the writers.
Kinda funny that the show runners said they didn’t want the story to seem like Narnia considering Lewis was friends with Tolkien. Lewis even dedicated the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe to Tolkien, because Tolkien despised the allegory in it while helping to edit it.
While they had their literary differences anyone who has read both can easily tell you they shared a world view and LOTR is far closer to Narnia than GOT or Braveheart.
Thank you. LotR and Narnia are quite different in some ways but are grounded in the same artistic mindset and worldview. I don't think that someone who really loves Tolkien can hate Lewis; they are too bound together and too much alike. A "Tolkien fan" attacking Lewis or Narnia for no reason has become a red flag for me. Of course these idiot showrunners hate Narnia - judging by their show, I think they hate LotR too, even if they think they love it.
Celeborn: Tell me where is Galadriel? For I much desire to speak with her.
Elf: She’s telling everyone you’re dead and trying to hook up with some human
Celeborn: …the fuck?
Why would Celeborm want to speak Galadriel?
Is she behind in paying the alimony again?
@@kamion53 In Rings of Power the Elfwamen pay child support and alimony while the males spend it all on wine and clothes and they try to sell Tupperware to their sewing circle group.
@@Ass_of_Amalek she wants to kill Sauron, but he doesn't even want to fight her.
Don't tell me the whole Lord of the Rings event is because Celeborn is actually alive and well, but because Galadriel will lie to get some Sauron action, everything becomes Saurons fault to hide her infidelity.
I will laugh myself to tears if Sauron ends up being Celeborn, who ended up being corrupted while he was captured. It sounds like something the writers of this show are capable of.
Celeborn was the orc that popped out of Theo’s floor. Who then was “de-caravanned!” … I mean decapitated.
Celeborn is meteorman. He's been escaping child support.
She's been walking alongside Sauron the whole season.
I would love to hear the writing room explain how Queen B is unscathed after being hit by a volcano but then is instantly blinded when some embers from a house hit her. 🤔
Because her eyes were looking up like a boat and boats can burn, but her body was looking down like a rock that sinks in water. The water protected her body from the volcano. And in that process she touched the darkness so now she can’t see. It’s quite logical really.
@@Halfwit_The_Brave Yep, perfect, that explanation does it for me...
@@Halfwit_The_Brave That sounds a little too probable. Admit it! You were in the writing room!
The Beren and Luthien thing crosses the fucking line. Also, imagining this Galadriel dancing in glade of flowers makes me want to wash my eyes.
I mourn for the bit of JSG's soul that dies every time he makes a video about the destruction of Tolkien
I'm amazed how a short video content on CZcams has more love, emotion and precision with the lore than a (pseudo) billion dollar mega production.
Your channel is an island of common sense and sincerity amid so many that were bought by Amazon
Pop culture review youtubers are better than pop culture.
@@battleofwills7189 Sad, but true. These videos are certainly more entertaining than the very shows they roast.
This show is seriously making the Hobbit trilogy look like a damn masterpiece of storytelling and filmmaking.
To me it was a masterpiece all along.
@@Ricardo-cl3vs hmmm I think the combat could’ve used some work.
There will be a title card with Halbrand turning to Sauron. 😂
Galadriel will be the one who introduces Celebrimbor to Sauron, who will ultimately torture and execute him... Think about that.
Galadriel takes a volcano blast to the face, not a scratch.
Diverse Queen gets a bit of ash in the eyes, blinded for life.
Great show!!!
Must be white privilege. /s
Galadriel's eyes have insanely high HP compared to Tar-Míriel's, I guess. 🤣
@@Ass_of_Amalek “The safety squint” lmao.
I think the showrunners have fooled us all:
It was never the intention to present a story, it was intented as a quizz:
"count the plotholes, continue mistakes, illogic character twists, stupid diagolues, etc... and win a free Amazon account."
problem is who want a free Amazon account?
@@Ass_of_Amalek We can squint if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't squint
And if they don't squint
Well, they're no friends of mine
I hope the smith that made all that plot armor was paid overtime.
You mean the diver suit with chainmail printed on the outside? That plot armour, because it looks like absolute shit.
I was worried that Rings of Power was going to be ''The Last Jedi of LotR'', ruining characters and established lore. But if there's one good thing to come out from all of this, is that it feels so disconnected from Tolkien and Peter's work that it doesn't even affect the trilogy in the slightest.
At least last Jedi had good shot composition and some stunning visuals. As much as I hate hyperspace ramming as a concept I can’t deny that shot was gorgeous. I doubt this show has any of that
It's indeed perceived absolutely different from the LOTR by everyone, and regardless of their appreciation or not too.
"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, a 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."
As this point, I’m cheering for a Sauron victory
My favorite part was when Galadriel said "Theo I'll be your mother now!" , it brought me to tears.
You know what, this series is making me appreciate the good movies that we always took as granted.
The scene of the queen talking about the Numenoreans returning was quite poetic. She was essentially breaking the fourth wall to tell the audience a second season will happen and then they zoom over to a guy crying which represents the audience and I love how the Southlanders apparently consist of just one village and one destroyed village, and then they just accept some random dude with a little pouch as their king, and then half of them die immediately and the volcano killed everyone except the ones the audience wanted dead: Galadriel and the Harfoots
There were about 80 Southlanders in total (many of them clones 😆). Half joined Adar, that's 40. Then some were killed by the orcs and the volcano. Probably no more than 20 left, plus their king Halbrand, of course, but he seems to have lost interest in kingship.
@@maak6270 agreed he like fuck it
One of the best things to come out of Rings of Power is ur reviews. Thank u bro.
One guy in Pompeii was so heated up that his brain turned to glass.
@@Ass_of_Amalek the brain of the one person it happened to was indeed vitrified by the super intense heat created by the volcanic eruption of Vesuvius.
he now writes for Rings of Power.... he's one of their better writers, truth be told... despite being dead....
A few of their heads exploded from their brains vaporising
I loved the part where Galadriel said "The rock floats because sun sees the hope, and i have a tempest in here somewhere" So stunning
"There is a tempest in a teapot in me!"
The showrunners will be rolemodels for generations to come, showing that even with zero talent you can be someone in this world.
The key word in this statement that you didn't include is MONEY.
I didn't know about Tolkien and his wife being the inspiration for Luthien and Beren. Having just finished the Simarillion I am now even more enraged at Amazon. There is no curse in the tongues of elves or men for their desecration.

The Pompeii blast was horrifying... Except for that one Chad who thought "One wank for the road"
One Scene: Four People:
Queen Regent-
Loses her sight=stoic/unfazed

Son is missing after natural disaster
=Booo hooo hoo!
Ignoring the lore which says his son is alive and well he actually had a human response to be fair.
And Pompei is 17 Km of Mount Vesuvius... they are at 3 Km...
Welcome to the -Southlands- Mordor, it has been *1* day since our last accident.
Call me old, but I remember Mt St Helens. It was felt more than 150miles away and the ash cloud spread for nearly 100miles (varied with wind of course), blocking out the sun and covering cars and such. My uncle, who was about 5miles South of the mountain when it blew, spoke of the deafening blast and the heat for the rest of his life. Hell squirrels and possums died looking like Pompeii specimens 10miles away (almost double the distance of the pyroclastic flow) along the blast line to the North.
The problem isn't that these show runners got it wrong, have no clue, and won't even Google info before making stuff up, but that they condemn people for pointing out the errors. Sorry, bit of a volcano nerd since Mt St Helens.
They really have no excuse; Pompeii is so famous I still remember it from school, it even made it into a Doc Who epp for crying out loud. That's one of the most renowned archaeological sites in the world, and you can't mention it without talking about Mount Vesuvius and the eruption that wiped it out and what became of anyone who didn't get away in time.
I agree though, that them not looking stuff up first isn't as big of an issue as their utter inability to take any kind of criticism. There are serious issues among the entire upper echelons of that show, and given how often their hero characters act like literal psychopaths, well, I have strong suspicions there.
I find it even more suspicious that the leader of the Harfoots can somehow see that the "stars are strange", but somehow miss the fact that such an environmental event would have actually have created a glow that could have been seen for a MASSIVE RADIUS, even if you didn't actually see the event happening.
@@shadowjewel Doesn't matter how famous Pompeii was. Have you seen any of the videos of people going out to interview young adults on the street by asking them elementary school questions? One of the questions the guy asked was, "What state is Utah in?" and there were people who had to think about it, and still got the answer wrong. This is the kind of person on the "writing" teams.
@@whiterabbit75 Well that's a sad thought, isn't it.
Perhaps I have been giving them too much credit, even with the low expectations they have generated; my experience with writing frikkin' *fanfiction* has taught me that you need to do a heck ton of research to write anything remotely well, even for small details that in the wider picture don't matter much but if you get them wrong they pull people out of it. If a fanfiction writer can under stand that, I expected a script writer to have a similar mind state, even if they are apparently dumb and psychopathic (when almost all of their characters display psychopathic traits, well...).
@@shadowjewel As an avid reader (and occasional writer) of fanfiction, I can confirm that getting certain things wrong can kill a story for me. If a story isn't going to be consistent with the source material, then it should at least be _internally_ consistent. If you're going to have a volcano that doesn't kill anyone in its pyroclastic flow, you better have a damn good reason for it.
The thing I’ll never digest is the fact that Amazon has some more than decent shows under their hands, and yet, with the most promising material in their possession, something that could have been the greatest hit in shows history… they give us this ? What in the flaming fuck….
I think there is a difference between shows that are created by Amazon (like this one, since they bought the rights themselves) and shows that were pitched to be funded by Amazon (like the boys, invincible, legend of vox machina, etc)
@@danzansandeev6033 Wheel of Time was also produced by Amazon and from what I've heard it's abysmal.
"It's not the Southlands anymore, it's the Cheetolands."

I actually can’t believe they pulled that shit ripping off Beren and Lúthien. That’s so incredibly disrespectful.
You know someone's cultured when they start the video with one of Mark Hamill's greatest Joker laughs. 🤣
“Story in Rings of Power is like story in a porn movie. It’s expected to be there but it not that important.”
-John Carmack
I seen figthing games with better history telling and more cohersion than this shi** show
To be cringe. Truly, a fate worse than death.
When Mary Sues tell other characters to dont do what she does, the actual meaning is "ONLY I DO THAT, and may be you, if it benefits my ego".
She lost Celeborn in a mystery box
"Norri and the Murdeous Munchkins..." 🤣 that cracked me up bad
I hate this show but I’m literally addicted to the episode breakdowns
That applies to most shows coming out these days.
I feel you with that.
By chance, a few years ago I discovered the link between Tolkien's love of his life and the tale of Luthien and Beren. Turns out all the barriers and difficulties in the tale are all woven from his experience. I was so moved I read all about him, and reread Luthien. And now I know they did this...
After a 1000°C hot pyroclastic flow scorched the land, every tree is charred, not a single plant remains alive and all the houses are ablaze... but the main characters, and even most of the extras, are fine. Yes, the queen is blind but her hair is not singed, no ugly burn marks in her face (just a bit of dirt), and her dress - I mean armor - is as fabulous as on the day she set sail. A+ for immersion. Best show ever 10/10.
I thought it was stupid to pretend that Isildur is dead.
My wife knows nothing of Tolkien. We watched the Peter Jackson trilogies together but she didn't memorize names. She's also far less critical about movies than I am; she prefers to just watch the good stuff and not worry too much about the dumb stuff. You know, the target audience for this crappy show.
When we met Isildur in the 2nd episode, I paused it and told her he's the same guy that cut Sauron's ring off his hand but then decided to keep it for himself. She thought it was pretty cool that this show is tying characters to the movies.
Then when this scene happened with the ton of burning roof falling on Isuldur, we had this conversation:
I thought you said he will cut off Sauron's fingers?
He will.
Then how can he die now?
He can't.
Oh, that's dumb. They should have made it fall on his dad or something.
I didn't worry about mentioning that Elendil is in that same future battle and Sauron kills him. She forgot who that was, and I can live with that.
The point is that my non-critical wife thought it was dumb to fake-kill a guy we know cannot be killed here, so how is it possible that the showrunners couldn't figure that out???
The answer is that we got 7 episodes of setup and backstory and they never bothered to make us care about, or even be interested in, any Numenorean except the Queen, Elendil, and Isildur, so they didn't have anybody to fake-kill that we care about but they so desperately wanted to do Aragorn's fake-death thing from the Two Towers movie, so they did a stupid one.
You can actually fake kill characters who can’t really die and make it work. Look at arcane for example. People who played the game know that champion characters can’t really die. Yet everyone was tensed when jinx brought out that plate and everyone thought it was Caitlin’s head. Because the writing is good even if you know that they can’t possibly kill her you still are intrigued
A beautiful example when someone writing a story has 1) no experience in life at all 2) no children (and tries to write about them) 3) no common knowledge 4) doenst care to research topics he doesnt know. There is a reason they have been ignored for the past 10 years in hollywood. Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park, RIP) always researched his next book topic for weeks and months until he finally wrote it. JRRT himself was a soldier (WW1), father and highly educated. Hell he even created a fantasy language.
It is often said that professor Tolkien created fantasy languages, and only after that a world and stories to give context to the languages :)
As a retired firefighter, I do not see how anything was left... trees, buildings, people. I wish some of my brothers could have been wearing Amazon armor when they went down.
The part where Galadriel looked Miriel in the eyes and said “We are not in Numenor, we are in Wakanda” I felt moved and finally felt like we are back to Middle Earth.
When an old man walking to a chair is more epic than your $1billion high fantasy series you must surely know you have failed miserably.
The Rings of Power just pulled their own version of 'nuke the fridge'
@@Ass_of_Amalek With a tempest inside her?.... that will sky rocket the energy bill.
The most nonsensical thing in this show is surprisingly not about characters survived a certain death but about how fast they forgot their entire personality.
Everybody's out of character. This whole thing is just bad fanfiction.
@@moonfire41 which is hilarious cause I legit have seen many many good fanfics from Tolkien's fans on AO3 😂😂🤣

I've been in war scenarios before. When things burn THAT MUCH - the air isn't breathable. The smoke from miles around from the site is so toxic you'll throw up from coughing so hard.
Bruh it was a cheeto volcano not a real volcano. The fire is just for effect. Dangerously cheesy. Remember?

The Swiss cheese of woke power
Shh-shh-shh! Be calm. You might tire yourself if you overdo making too much sense. 😄
it's the shows way on explaining one of the powers of the three rings, these rings have the power to help keep some elven cities stable like Rivendell or lothlorien, a consequence is that it only works when sauron doesn't have the one ring.

Galadriel lecturing on morals is a reflection of how the woke think. You can do all the evil in the world, but as long as you don't acknowledge it for yourself, you aren't a bad person. Just believe it as part of a necessary thing towards the goal of a "greater good no matter how many ppl you need to step on to get there
They're sickos.
I agree, the thought of them stealing from the beautiful story of Beren and Luthien and giving it to "Guyladriel" is sickening.
I'm going to call it now. At some point, the writers are going to kill off Durin the younger, and his wife Disa will become Queen of Khazad Dum, who will make all things right and reopen relations with the elves and be yet another Girl Boss. Yeah, that's what they're moving toward. It fits their pattern.
She´ll also turn into lesbian and marry an female-orc and a stone giant (yeah, I know) in three-way marriage.
Actually... If she then reopens the mithril mine and orders maximum production from it, leading to the initial encounter with the Balrog...
I'm just saying, I can see it unfortunately.
@@Wraithspartan She will kill it.
@@PrinceUzuRyu She'll sing to it, like she did the stone, and it'll turn docile and obey her.
I was joking with my friends that they would cross out the word Southlands and replace it with Mordor… and then they did it
These videos are far more interesting to watch than the show itself.
The insult to Beren and Luthian in this episode was what had me outraged the most as well, and I haven't even seen the show yet. Your response to that insult in this video was identical to the rant I posted on facebook. It's just mind blowing that these show runners/writers thought they could disrespect Tolkien so severely and get away with it. I hope this show gets canned BEFORE season two and I hope EVERYONE involved NEVER works in Hollywood ever again. That's how insulting this garbage is.
Aren't they ALREADY working on Season 2? (which means they have already written the scripts for it?). I've heard rumors that they are ALREADY busy on S2? :/
@@sigmacademy Unfortunately yes. Rumor is they've already begun filming in London. I can still hope and pray they cancel it while filming.

This got me laughing alot 🤣
They spent THREE YEARS on this, and this show is the best they could come up with??
LOL, well Bezos wanted his own "game of thrones" and he got it! 1 show was ruined by talentless show runners and so was "rings of power" hundreds of millions of dollars to hire people with zero talent.
They don't even invest in the elven wigs so why are you still offended by this clusterfuck of a sham show? I lost hope the moment I saw her first images wearing the armour and wielding the sword. There's no hope in the first place.
Given how unfaithful they've been Isildur might actually be dead.
Celeborn isn’t dead. Actually he crashed in a FedEx jet and has been stranded for 2000 years on an island with a volleyball named Wilson.
Not one of them used a cloth tied round the face in an attempt to keep the smoke, and far worse out, of their lungs.
Don't even remember one of them coughing.
They are strong characters with strong lungs, they don't need to breathe air.
Nono, obviously the only way to save yourself and everyone around you from a volcanic eruption is to walk right into it, the people at pompeii just ran away, so obviously they didn't survive.
I'm pretty sure all of the strong independent women survived.
If Mithril cures corruption, why doesn't the vest made of Mithril heal Frodo from the wound he sustained from the Nozgul?
Cause it's 10 iq fanfiction
And from the corruption of the One Ring!
I cannot believe what half a billion dollars can buy you, when you don't know how to shop.
You are absolutely right about deadly pyroclastic flows and about the eruption survivors in the RoP. I would only like to note that Pompeii was buried under volcanic ash, while Herculaneum was affected by pyroclastic flows proper. Accordingly, the victims from Pompeii (we see them on 1:29) actually died of suffocation and the volcanic ashes preserved their bodies. Those who died in Herculaneum were instantly turned into carbonized skeletons - the form in which archaeologists usually find them. My point is that Guyladriel et alia would not look like poor victims from Pompeii, but much worse, they would become carbonized skeletons, with their flesh evaporated within seconds. The temperature of gases in the pyroclastic flows can reach 1,000 °C, you know! So, the episode is of course unnatural and simply ridiculous regarded from the point of view of volcanology.
Like Sarah conner in T2 is what comes to mind
Celeborn cannot be dead. There would be no Celebrian without him (Elrond's wife) and therefor no Arwen. I bet we'll find him imprisoned somewhere along the way. Or maybe he faked his death to get away from his wife...
The latter makes the most sense
@@KingDav33 can't blame him
I think this show will be studied in the future for it's absolute stupidity.
the real laughable part was that they gave that huge amount of money to those 2 worthless producers and didn't give money and hire actually talented people. If your going to spend top tier money, why wouldn't you pay top tier guys.
In a recent eruption (about 10-15 years ago.) four people got caught in it. two of them were instantly vaporized by the Pyroclastic flow, and one of them died from their lungs catching fire from the super headed air. The last one managed to barely survive by hiding and using a contained breathing apparatus.
So some medieval peasants surviving a point blank volcanic eruption and earthquake is hilarious.
I think you are referring to Monserat 18 July 1995
Strong Woman: You have not seen what I have seen!
Queen Bee: You have not seen what I can not see!
You historically hit EVERY realistic truth about what happens to humans who face a pyroclastic flow! THANK YOU! You bow to no one!!!! 👑
Instead of the Pompei reference I was thinking about Herculaneum that fell in the same eruption Pompei did. People there were hit by the volcanic ash at the speed of sound basically, and it was so hot that their brains blew up their skulls from the inside. In the series this pretty much happens and only random NPCs die while main cast survives without a scratch.
Can you imagine how much more impactful it would be if when the Numenorians and Galadriel arrived the volcano had already erupted and killed everyone? We got to know the Southlanders and we would be hit by the realization that help came too late. It would make everything seem more high stakes than it is.
Bad reboot and jar jar abrams, everything they touch turns to this.
Yep - my three favourite things in the universe - Star Wars, Star Trek and Tolkien's works, and that useless bastard and his acolytes get their filthy hands on all three. Scum of the Earth!

Way to go youtube!
I demand justice for the Volcano. Mt. Doom tried to do its best to go full Vesuv but all main charakters cheated with their plot armor. That's not fair.
Pissing over Tolkiens grave clearly isn’t enough for Amazon, wonder if they wil dig up his corpse and present him in the last episode
Fun fact, there wasn't a single cough after being stomped by Mount doom
So the queen is blind from embers but not from the pyroclastic flow….got it.
We know the doofus showrunners really liked Braveheart. That's where Galadriel's "who is this person who speaks to me as if..." line comes from. Maybe they took from Gladiator as well. Galadriel, Commander of the armies of the North.
Galadriel is such an asshole to her "friend" Elrond that to get back at her, he bangs and marries her daughter.
I showed my girlfriend(who is pretty apathetic to all this stuff) the part in your video about Tolkien including his wife in his work as well as the inscriptions on the gravestones and it actually made her cry. She said that was so beautiful and sweet, then got upset afterwards when I mentioned it was pilfered and given to another character. It just shows how meaningful and real this world was to him and his family and for the writers to do something like that is the most disrespectful thing they did in this entire show.
Don't forget that Bronwyn got shot with two arrows and THEN survived a pyroclastic eruption. Single mother plot armor is heck'n strong
Only to be walking around fine a few hours later, as if nothing had happened
First was his writing
Then was his art
Now to disrespect one of Tolkien's most happy moments with the person he loved in the world
Is unforgivable
I lost it at the 'volcano bukkake'
And it's deadly of bukkeke.
Entire harfoot caravan makes an arduous trek spanning great distances just to travel to one fruit tree...
Maybe the Harfoots should make an arduous trek spanning great distances to a bath house.
Or to a hairdresser.
Don't forget the whole thing of Queen B saying "I don't want anyone to know I'm blind" and then immediately putting on a fucking blindfold. I swear, these writers must have brain-rot.
Come to think of it, isn't this blindness plot twist actually pretty "ableist" towards blind people? I mean, why shouldn't she want her people to know (and celebrate) the fact that she's blind? Just sayin'...
Wood burns at 700 degrees Fahrenheit. I guess they have super skin.
or Plot Armor
I checked. A pyroclastic flow/surge/cloud roles over the ground at 100 miles per hour, at a temperature of 1,800 degrees F.
"Woman are strong and independent...so that volcano is just gonna have to deal with it"
One thing: all the "bodies" one can witness in Pompeii are concrete pouring into caveties in the ground where there once *WAS* a body. It's not preserved bodies.
That's all.
This show has a unique quality : people are (re)discovering the movies and books.
I hate the show so much I decided I'd read the books
It’s hilarious how they ghosted Peter Jackson and then tried to talk crap about him and the movies and all they did was BLATANTLY copy entire scenes from the movies🤣🤣🤣
