If you haven't watched the show but have Amazon prime I do encourage you to give it a shot. It does have its problems but if you like fantasy shows and don't compare it to the actual lore and even then it's closer than people give it credit for. The time crunch and rings out of order really stick out but it's a beautiful show and in my opinion interesting. Seriously give it a try if you have prime 💯
That wizard is probably the Witch King because Saruman was a good guy until the Palantir corrupted him later on. Then again, when did Amazon ever care about canon.
I've tried to be nice but I'm done. Your acting is great and the dialog and pacing are excellent. You add more depth to your characters in a parody than this entire show can WITH MILLIONS INVESTED! The fact that you can mske me forget the low end costumes speaks volumes. They have practically unlimited money and the actors look like they are actors playing dress up! Highest praise to you and nothing but contempt for the amazon show.
these glorious channels don't even know what's Tolkien themselves they are going after rings of power for showing orc women and babies when Tolkien himself said there is you guys are a bunch of overdramatic drama queen who thinks they are standing up for Tolkien legacy but are only following the movies versions because chapter one of lord of the rings was boring that is what you guys are its the truth if you are the so-called expert fans who know everything in movies is just as un cannon as the show does. so, no, it's not shitty show because you see black dwarves' or elves or the correct version of the orcs, i bet you would disagree if i told you game of thrones season 6 and 7 was shitty every episode and that battle of the Basterds is one of the poorest and scrappiest battles written rings of power had better writing even house of the dragon season 2 was just boring and bad writing
@@isaiahwynn-b8h what the fuck are you on about? Orc women and orc children existing does not mean that orcs live in monogamous family units. Orcs are twisted, corrupted creatures bred for one purpose and one purpose only: waging war. They are controlled directly through fear and terror their master invokes in them. Not exactly the most plausible background for a social structure of the traditional nuclear family, eh? I was nine years old when I first read Lord of the Rings. That is more than three decades ago. I've read it at least ten times since then. I've read the Silmarillion at least five times. I've read The Hobbit a few times. I've read the Story of the Children of Hurin. I've read the Book of Unfinished Tales. I've read the Tolkien biography. So what was that again about me only knowing the movies? Also, what the hell are you ranting about Game of Thrones and assuming I think seasons 6 or 7 are good? The first four seasons were stellar, S5 was ok, S6 so-so, S7 bad and S8 absolutely fucking abysmal. Rings of Power was abysmal from the get go and it's not getting better. If you like it, good for you. Go watch it and enjoy it and think you are the authority on Tolkien, have a blast. I really couldn't care less if some bozo actually likes this show. You don't have to be here among people who think it is shit you know? I don't watch channels that pretend to like it either.
@@isaiahwynn-b8hEveryone thinks GOT seasons 6 and 7 are shit, and everyone thinks rings of power is awful. At least anyone who's watched a second of it.
@@isaiahwynn-b8hOh, and only a fraction of Tolkien fans liked the Peter Jackson films. At least half hated those movies. Then you have Rankin Bass and Ralph Bakshi fans, who don't care about the books, even.
Well, if you base your idea of Gondor on just the movies, then Gondor is just 1 square mile encompassing Minis Tirith. Oh, and the caves of henneth annun. So add another couple hundred square feet.
i guess if you think about the main part of gondor, where the captial is - then he correct - a lot of the other parts of gondor is owed by its vassals like the principility of dol amorth or however you write irt
If season 3 starts with Elrond and Celebrimbor looking into a palantir into the past, legs up on a sofa, sipping mulled first age wine out of mugs then we know Charlie's been written in
If Sauron was around today he'd be shilling Crypto scams and HODL. I don't actually know what "HODL" means but i know what it signifies: not power of the scam, but power over scams. "The Blockchain is always right"

I’m starting to think that Baby-Saruman and Not-Gandalf will end up being the two blue Wizards. After all, they went to the East. What does Gandalf, Boromir and Baby Elrond think about this? 😅
Im sick and Boromir made me laugh so much it hurt every time but worth all the pain xD Thank you for this quality content you get out of this weird series.
I feel like starting this Rings of Power series on my TV and then leaving the house so that Amazon continues the series. All I really want is your take on it! But that won't happen if they cancel it!
So Boromir doesn't know that Gondor isn't landlocked haha? It is a spoof, and I love watching this, but come on. I mean, Gondor being close to the ocean isn't just a small plot point either. The fear of Black Sails\Corsair ships helps drive Denethor crazy, Aragorn arrives back in Gondor by boat, the best kings of Gondor were called the Sea Kings, Saruman justifies the Ring being gone by saying it was eventually swept out to the ocean down the river Anduin from where Isildur died. This same river flows over the falls and goes near by Minas Tirith and directly through the old capital of Osgiliath... the city Boromir temporarily retook before heading off to Elrond's council, Isildur and his brother arrive in Gondor by boat etc.
Wait a second. If Sauron taught alloys to the races of middle earth, that would imply that all of the oldest and.moat powerful magical weapons, armor, shields etc. from the Elven Empire are made of iron, not steel.
Hey first time viewer, binged like 12 videos in a day. Just wanted to say your Boromir sounds exactly like John Snow 😂 Boromir is spot on but a bit deeper, regardless I've really enjoyed watching your content. THANKS!!😋
Tolkien built a universe with a limitless supply of stories to be told and this is what they give us. Makes me sad and apathetic. At least I get enjoyment out of the RUclipsrs roasting it.
In LOTR Fredegar is a hobbit and in The Hobbit Nori is a dwarf. Did the hacks who shat this screenplay out just thumb through the books and pick up a name?
That gasp from Thorin to “we can’t hear the mountains anymore”. Subtly funniest part of whole video
Next time you have a panic attack, just take a shower in the dark yelling "back you devils!"
"well, one _might_ have been able to simply walk into Mordor..." 😂
"Saruman Kinder-Bueno?"
made me chuckle
I am laughing a lot at that joke...
A magical line - highlight of the whole vid.
That one required clean up. Drinking at the wrong time.
Yeah, me too, for a whole two minutes or so.
Technically, these spots are better than ever.
.... I just wish they had material to work with that wasn't so damned boring.
'I'm going to enslave hundreds of thousands of orcs! . . .then they'll have to be my friends.' Lmao.

He's so northern and scared.
You can't say it's his true voice unless every other word is 'bastard'.
Southern, Yorkshire, possibly!
The way you stutter your breath as Boromir is spot on!
I fucking love boromir in these
Wholehearted yes from me, too.
"She shaves with sea shells by the sea shore" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love it.
I immediately searched for this comment upon hearing it 😂😂😂😂
Charlie watches, so we don’t have to….. you’re a hero dude! 🎖️
You should also leave the witty banter to professionals too
No, he's watching AND I am watching. But I actually enjoy it.
I think this show is not bad, it's not as good as the movies but overall its good

It's not really knitting...what are you doing Gandalf (Charlie)?
"U went to war with sauron over fish finger's "😂😂😂😂😂a just burst out laughing 😂😂
Other kingdoms have already gone to battle for fish.
That wizard is probably the Witch King because Saruman was a good guy until the Palantir corrupted him later on. Then again, when did Amazon ever care about canon.
Saruman was always jealous of Gandalf and wanted power above all things--if it was for good, so be it. That's why he was so drawn to the One Ring.
@@stevengagnon5661So he liked power, that doesn't make him evil it just makes him weak, which is why he fell.
Good theory
The Witch King was a Man. Is that “wizard” a Man?
I think Baby-Saruman and Not-Gandalf are the Blues.
Blue wizards headed east, one created a magic cult.
15:28 Knowing Galadriel is the mother-in-law of Elrond, this gives the vibe of "I can't fxxk you so I'm going for your daughter".
Lol 👶🏼Baby Lord Elrond is the best 🤍💜💛 hehehe 🤣🤟🏼 0:28

Faramir was kind of an Everyman, in a way. In the Peter Jackson films, I could relate to him looking back in hindsight.
@@chasehedges6775 Faramir was a gangster
Aragorn was also everyman
This is so much better than the actual show...
17:32 Gondor is most certainly not landlocked, Boromir. Did Gandalf hit you over the head off-camera or something? Blink twice if you're being abused.
It's practically all coast or navigable river valley.
Well, if you base your idea of Gondor on just the movies, then Gondor is just 1 square mile encompassing Minis Tirith.
Oh, and the caves of henneth annun. So add another couple hundred square feet.
