Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Finale review of Season 2 Episode 8. The story's wrap up, the cast take the piss out of the backlash of the first one and nothing makes sense. We get even more shipping than you can shake a stick at. A balrog wakes up and promptly is forgotten about, Adar destroys a whole city only to forget why he did it as soon as it happened. And while Galadriel finally gets justice, unfortunately Elrond saves her from it. This season was advertised as lots of battles, all action, all canon and a fast moving plot. None of this happened, no mistakes were fixed, but many more were made. The main way to enjoy the plot is to forget what happened and just enjoy Lord of the Rings movie references. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Never watched more than a second of Rings of Power. Saw a second since Amazon sneakily had it autostart in between episodes of another show I was watching. Still I must admit seeing Disparu and others making fun of this shit show is great entertainment. From this point of view I would give RoP 10 out of 10 rating.
You'd Think He Would've Taken Nenya **BEFORE** The Dumb 9 Rings... Exta Especially When They Have His Blood in Them... EVEN Extra Especially When It's Made of A SIMARILLION !!! & Not Under His Influence... I Digress, What Do I Know? I'm Just Stoned Like A Biblical Whore, Sooooooo Yeahhhhhhh, Rings of not-so-much Power Should Ropemaxx Lol @Disparu xD xD
Make Sure You Wear Your Morgoth Helmet When Your Lack of EXTRA RINGS is Just Like Letting That Extra Chromosome Get You Down.....s;) ;) LMFAO @Disparu hahahahaha
It's so vomit inducing the way they constantly copy the Jackson films with such self-confidence. Poppy narrating the 'emotional' ending as if she were Sam is just 🤮

The wizards arriving in Middle Earth by meteor instead of by boat is so funny. I now imagine a huge cannon in Valinor, aimed at Middle Earth, shooting wizards at it like living cannonballs.

What? Galadriel is impaled in the chest with several spikes, collapses and apparently near death, but then she stands up, with absolutely no injuries apparent on her chest, and has a conversation with Sauron, before falling down a 500 ft cliff. And after all that she is somehow still alive with no stab wounds anywhere. What an absolute $hit show.

Thought the exact same thing haha she literally has no wounds in her chest nor any blood on her white clothes after just getting punctured by a 2 foot spike lol Alao elves are supposed to be immortal yes, but that doesn't mean falling from a massive cliff won't kill them. Plenty of elves die this way in the books
My favourite part of the Rings of Power ep 8 was when Galadriel entered Sauron's Diddy party and tore off her mask, revealing that she was Agatha all along.
The Balrog woke up, came to attack and then said, "Oh darn, there's a loosely packed pile of stone from my trying to climb up. Guess I'll go back to sleep for 3000 years."
I assume the implication is that it couldn't get back up or was buried. But if it was buried, then you'd need a lot of rock to fall presumably destabilizing the mountain. It doesn't seem like something the dwarves would regard as adequately resolved.
You know that Durins Axe was quite powerful and filled with magic? But it's obvious that all of you haters have no clue about the lore, you're just sheep riding the same train.
@@princejohn8245 Although Durin's axe was found and claimed by Balin between the events of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, so couldn't be under 10,000 pounds of rubble next to a sleeping Balrog. Not sure if Tolkien ever explicitly said it was magical, though.
@@markpolo97 tolkien was very subtle about magic, it was less "boom +3 to damage" and more extension of a person, ultimate expression of craft and dedication, so yes...I do think that the king of one of the most talented craftsmen in middle earth had a magical axe, as in "the axe in which the spirit of the dwarven art was inbued" the same with rings, it was not about making you stronger, rings of power were the essence of will and perfection
I like how the Numenoreans were always this very diverse crowd, but somehow the group they send to Pelargir as colonizers, consists almost exclusively of white males.
My favourite part of hollywood doing prequels to insert diversity is always the fact that it means somewhere between the prequel and originals, there must have been an ethnic cleansing and no one ever addresses it
@@TheMasterpiecePD I guess the idea is that sooner than later since they cannot create something new they will just remake the originals with forced diversity so that everyone forgets how they where in the first place
They should have put in a post credits scene where Galadriel, reduced to a red smear across the rocky ground, bubbles like a gooey mass and starts to recombobulate, eating flowers, plants, and a random passing Elf to return to life.
1 hour of nitpicking and crying about little tiny details that can be ignored because OH THAT'S RIGHT, can also be pointed out in every other movie and show in history.
The issues with this series are many: Pseudo-Gandalf: Weird dumb hobo constantly looking for a shaft he can fondle Pseudo-Saruman: Obviously evil even though Saruman is _not_ evil at this point in his story... which means he shouldn't be here at all along with Not-Gandalf because the Istar don't arrive BY BOAT to Middle-Earth until the Third Age... but whatever, he's just bad from the start rather than it being a slow descent into villainy due to jealousy and pride. Pseudo-Hobbits: Murderous dumb little folk... and they don't even smoke pipeweed! Instant fail right there. Pseudo-Galadriel: Insufferable Girl-Boss who somehow despite being Mary Sue'd (incompetently) somehow still ends up massively _less_ awesome than the real Galadriel who by this time in the lore was one of the oldest, wisest, and most powerful of all the elves on Middle-Earth and who was one of the few who _NEVER_ trusted Sauron as Annatar, not even the slightest. Pseudo-Elrond: Probably the closest to actually representing the real Elrond, but Elrond was never a politician or a diplomat, never had any special dealings with the dwarves, and was a healer as well as a warrior. Also never had the hots for Galadriel because he was much more interested in bending her daughter over~ Pseudo-Celebrimbor: Greatest of all elven smiths and one of the greatest smiths aside from Faeanor... doesn't know what an alloy is Pseudo-Sauron: Supremely lucky idiot who's "plans" only work because everyone else around him is as thick as he is, and his main successes only come about through pure blind luck. Is he actually blessed by Eru or something, because that's the only way any of his luck can be explained... Eru secretly an evil god confirmed! Pseudo-Isildur: Soy boy who gets cucked multiple times yet never seems to learn his lesson from it. Has no direction in life because the writers thought it would be funny to make one of the greatest kings of men into an incel Pseudo-Tom Bombadil: All powerful bystander who is fully aware of the threat the world is facing, is aware of how it will affect the world... but naahhhh he's just gonna pick some flowers and hang out in the desert because it ain't his job. He's like a firefighter who see's a fire but does nothing... because he's off the clock. This whole series is almost like Plato's Allegory of the Cave; this series is like a pale shadowy imitation of what truly is, brief signs of what it represents yet pale and ephemeral and nothing even close to as great as the real thing.
They shouldve focused in one or two stories instead of multiple stories condensed hundreds of years of plot development into 2 seasons. They couldve done a Numenor and elf focused story and then introduced the other plot points and details along the way.
They didn't just....they didn't just rip off HARRY FREAKING POTTER in a Lord of the Rings show?! "The Staff finds the Wizard" "the Wand chooses the Wizard" I haven't actually been annoyed by this crap since seeing Season 1 episode 1 where I quit, but this is like that Yoda reveal in the Acolyte for me, and it's plundering a different fantasy series for ideas to try and make their fan fiction quality writing show that's a billion dollar disaster seem good.

Yes! So much this. This is where I melted onto the floor laughing and crying. They ripped a line from Harry burgerflippin' Potter! And a well-known one at that.
Yep, devout Catholic J.R.R. Tolkien definitely had marital infidelity and homosexual relationships with the devil in mind when he was penning his masterpiece.
I like how Elendil receiving Narsil and unsheathing it in front of Miriel is a blatant copy of Aragorn receiving Anduril from Elrond, except worse. I can only hope they played the sounds of keys jangling in the scene.
@@VleesetendPlantje14 And yet people keep telling me "Why do you care that stuff is different? They're different universes! It's an entirely different thing!" If they're different universes and entirely different then why are they copying ABSOLUTELY EVERY F'ING VISUAL DETAIL AND USING WHOLE QUOTES FROM THE MOVIES??? My god. I would have respected it more if they had come up with entirely their own stuff! And I'd respect these idiots trying to constantly defend this crap if they'd be honest that it's just straight up ripping off the movies in a very obvious way. But they're just pretending it's not happening!
@@LadyBeyondTheWall I don't get the "different universes" argument. Both the PJ movies and the ROP are based on Tolkien's works, the same lore; the former are just better adaptations. It's completely fair to compare the two because they have the same starting points, and ROP is supposed to be the prequel (all the while being bad at it).
@@LadyBeyondTheWall So annoying. And then they call us Tolkien purists like we’re some kind of radical weirdos. And they keep pointing out how the Peter Jackson movies also made some changes from the lore. But I didn’t mind that Tom Bombadil was not in the movies. It didn’t take much away from the story. And I didn’t mind that Arwen got the role of Glorfindel and Eomer got the role of Erkenbrand, because otherwise the movies would have been cluttered with characters that don’t do much due to time constraint. Yet no matter how many times you try to explain to them that The Rings of Power makes many more changes and entirely throws Tolkien’s messages out the window, they won’t listen. If it is an entirely different thing then why did they slap Tolkien’s name on it?
@@wolfnoneofyourbusiness6220 Not woosh. There are people on reddit and tiktok saying similar things and meaning it and the show it self messed up and had the orks running around during daylight
The funniest thing to me is that, like anyone who trusts Galadriel, they were all handed directly to enemies who doubtlessly tortured them for days before finally eating what was left.
I'm sick of the twitter twits praising the show who aren't shills. They're so braindead with their "hurr...balrog so kuuul! Durin RIP!" One of the things Tolkien was afraid of was having his works become vulgarized which is why he hated the hippy fans who wanted to smoke up dressed like hobbits
This show is like when we were kids and tried to write our own story in our favorite franchise. Just a gobbledygook of time, places, and people with no real plot or cohesion. Just whatever ever pops into an 8 year old kid's mind that they think is cool to them regardless of how it benefits the story or if it even makes sense to anyone else reading or watching the project. This entire project is Crayon level writing, acting, character development, time and space awareness, plot, almost everything. About the only thing that mildly looks and feels Tolkien is the set and backgrounds, and even that is then overshadowed by all the people look the same everywhere you go, this entire story basically feels like it takes place in just one large metropolitan city that covers a couple different geological types and formations and it takes 8 hours to walk from one side of "town" to the other, or a 45 min horse/car ride and bang your where you need to be.
And then Disa stands there in front of the other Dwarves and just goes, "Ahhhhhhhh" for like 5 seconds and the other Dwarves just look confused at each other and then seize her, put her in dwarf cuffs and go dig out the sun shafts. And the only female dwarf to ever be seen on screen was never seen again and middle earth lived happily ever after. The end.
@@marblestrength I would have loved to have been in the writers room when they were coming up with Disa. '"Let's make her large, slow and unathletic, but she should also be able to fight and hold off a group of male dwarf soldiers. Oh I know, let's make her an opera singer! Yeah! And when she sings, her voice can detect precious metals! Awesome! And she can control specific animals and get them to attack people! She should also be responsible for waking up a deadly monster whose going to kill our beloved leader/maybe destroy us all, but no other characters should ever resent her or even question the part she played."
Nice take on that. The Balrog is saying "Would you please stop with all that banging? I'm trying to get some sleep" and Durin, who does not speak balrog, says "You must die, creature!" No wonder he ends up killing all those dwarves.
Seems pretty reasonable to me. Dude was breaking and entering. I'd be grumpy too if someone busted into my house uninvited using a battering ram that rained rock down on me while I was asleep. Poor guy was just defending himself, his home, and his peace and quiet during a home invasion.
I keep wondering - wouldn't it be EASIER to write something good? Like I really have to work hard to come up with ideas as stupid as these people come up with.
Gil-Galad treats Galadriel with such disdain despite her being both his elder, and either his great aunt or second cousin. Durin was the eldest of the fathers of the dwarves and all the latter Durins were believed to be his reincarnation which kind of prevents there being 2 alive at once. Galadriel’s father fought with the other elves of Valinor alongside the Valar when Morgoth’s was defeated. Galadriel’s brother Finrod was almost immediately released from the Halls of Mandos to sit beside his father in Valinor due to his valor. Many of the Noldor who fled Valinor returned with Galadriel’s father after Morgoth’s defeat. There would be plenty of living elf warriors who slew more orcs than Galadriel, especially since she wasn’t a warrior.
Galadriel is supposed to be the oldest or one of the oldest elves we see in this shitshow. Yet she acts like she's the youngest. Even younger than Elrond.
@@depressed_firefly Not just one of the oldest remaining in Middle Earth, one with the greatest lineage. Her mother is the daughter of High King Olwe of the Teleri Elves in Valinor. Her father, at this time period, is the High King of the Noldor in Valinor. His parent were the previous High King Finwe and Indis of the royal house of the Vanyar elves in Valinor. Thus she represents all three Eldar groups by blood ties and is either a couple thousand or 10,000 years old at this point. Elrond is one of the youngest, but he has in his ancestry: Melian the Maiar, Elwe Thingol the first Eldar Teleri elf Lord, and their daughter Luthien, the greatest of Men through Tuor, Eärendil, and Beren, and the Noldor royalty through Elwing and Idril. Not to mention being kidnapped by Maedhros son of Feanor then raised by him for a time.
@@belegur8108 According to dwarven beliefs, each Durin is supposed to be the reincarnation of the original Durin, and on the death of (I think) Durin VII, all dwarves will cease to be. Thus, it would be impossible for one King Durin to have a son who is also Durin. That's a problem I've had with this, among many.
@@xLionsxxSmithyx I never bought this "thousands of years of legacy" this is one serious blunder on tolkien's side, elves do not have legacy, they are immortal. What is the point of writing books if you can just ask a dude who was there? What exactly was lost? "Oh we lost thousands of years of history...wait, here is Gil Galad who literally remembers all this stuff" poetry maybe, but since they have excellent memory they could probably rewrite if from memory. Elves are just too long lived for their culture to make sense. Imagine if you could just walk to your great-great-great-great grandfather and just ask him about stuff. for it to make sense elves should live like 300 years max. Otherwise the ancient elven civilisation is nothing as they are people walking around right now who remember its beginnings
So Don Lemonlass is alive? Booo! Why have Adar stab him in the gut and then have him live? Did Adar use a Disney lightsaber? What was the point of that? Wasting my time?
@@CRIMI0N I think Lemonclone must of revolted behind the scenes. He demanded to be in season 2, even if his character made no sense from the get-go, and his gf is dead.
And after two seasons I keep asking: why are those unattractive and strange people badly cosplaying elves and Numenorians? Why are they making Hentai fantasies upon one of the most beloved books of all times? Why are they destroying the universal morals and values Tolkien put in his works? What is the punishment for this abomination and when will the people responsible for it get punished?
@@aersling5391 You are right. I don´t have an Amazon subscription and I after this horrible mockery I never would get one unless they would somehow redeem themselves. What they are doing now with ROP is evil. And I mean it - it´s not some figure of speech.
Noooo not GLUG I hoped for him to see his children graduate Orc College and become Orc Engineers. They could be the orcs that build Bara'Dur now he never will see that.
I mean... considering these events are supposed to happen over thousands of years... this means Glug is thousands of years old when he dies. Pretty old for an Orc.
42:21 „The door is shut.“ Did they really just steal that phrase from when Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli entered the underworld in The Return of the King? That is SO cheap!
The elves were also cheering on the leaders directly responsible for the loss of their city, the loss of numerous elves, and empowering Sauron. And yet, they're cheering for them? In reality, they'd be marching them to hastily built gallows.
Yeah. From the beginning the writers have made it clear that they have zero understanding of the elves. For them, elves are just humans with pointy ears. They don't look like elves. They don't act like elves. They don't talk like elves (although they REALLY try to have them talk like elves but without understanding and so it's just trite).
Hey Disparu, I love how you started this episode with the cast quoting Tolkien, and finished the same way, you know it's like poetry, it rhymes, you know, like a ring.
Yeah, that part Disparu's talking about at 22:00 the rings weren't a problem until the One Ring was forged. It was needed to corrupt them. Until that happened everything was fine.
@@marhawkman303 true, his will would have been in those rings but likely needed the activation of the One Ring to make their wearers vulnerable to his mind. When he captured the rings then he could have poured more of his malice into them thus how we get Nazgul. Rings of Power don't need a One Ring at this point as Sauron can just go around sowing chaos dispensing these rings to everyone.
@@ronindave_ytgaming6333 well, that's a quirk that this series screws up, Sauron may have shown the elves how to make the rings, but he didn't actually directly affect the creation of them. Sauron needed the one ring to influence them.
Who would have known that Sauron is only about the third most wicked character of this show? With Galadriel in a solid second place, and the Harfoots as the pinnacle of evil. I did not see that coming.
Well, they got us to hate them right back. Do they not understand that WE as the lovers of Tolkien ARE part of his legacy? That is the main reason it is so stupid for them to hate it...
Yes.. they do understand that. It’s the exact same thing happening with Lucas Film and Disney. They are fully aware that Tolkien/Star wars fans are why these brands are so valuable. They just hate us more than they love their profit margin. Seriously.. I suspect this time in Hollywood will have books written about it. Almost every major studio is hemorrhaging money with their most expensive IP’s
Well judging by the cast interviews they don’t care about Tolkein and they certainly don’t care about you/us, we as a society have managed to let big corporations pander to small but loud voices online and it’s literally ruined art.
I was actually wondering where Anarion was this whole time. He's kind of important. Far more important than this daughter that doesn't exist. Unless they don't consider the entire Gondorian Dynasty important.
If we're going by the assumption that the showrunners never actually read the books beyond catching names and maps and only watched the films, I would think that they thought Isildur didn't have any siblings at all because when the _Fellowship of the Ring_ movie showed the Siege of Barad-dur , it didn't show Anarion because he would have been slain at that point. I would bet that they don't even know that Gondor was co-ruled by Isildur and Anarion when it was first established.
@@lmahu6627 The films didn't show Anárion because he was cut to simplify the narrative. Otherwise the Argonath would have had him instead of Elendil, and Denethor could have voiced this great line from the books to show his disdain for Aragorn: "I am Steward of the House of Anárion. I will not step down to be the dotard chamberlain of an upstart. Even were his claim proved to me, still he comes but of the line of Isildur. I will not bow to such a one, last of a ragged house long bereft of lordship and dignity." RoP, on the other hand, had the potential to indulge in the more complex storylines, and proved themselves incompetent.
@@Atanalcar You know, that makes me think of how much potential a show focusing on the earlier life of Aragorn could have, provided there was a sufficiently capable writing team/cast/crew behind it. You could go into the early days of him becoming the chieftain of the Dúnedain, meeting Arwen, slowly becoming the powerful, capable leader we see him as in the war of the ring. And you could explore the dynamic between him, Denethor, and Ecthelion and give some additional context to Denethor's unwillingness to surrender his stewardship.
@matthewn4896 Yep. And if you think about it, Aragorn told Éomer he had spoken to his father and to Théoden before Éomer was born (note, Éomer's mother was born in 2963, 6 years into Aragorn's errantries in Rohan and Gondor. Théoden was 19 when his sister was born. What age was Éomund? Somewhere in between. A boy but possibly old enough to be useful, following his father's éored and learning the duties of a lord of the Mark). So you have that dynamic to play with. He finished his errantries 2 years after the birth of Boromir. We don't know at what point before that he left Ecthelion's service for his journeys East and South. Even if the acquaintance was casual, he likely knew Finduilas, might even have been in Gondor when she wed Denethor. He was often in the court advising Ecthelion, how well might he have come to know her? What did he think of her? It's possible he was aware of her pregnancy before he left. It's less likely that he was still in service around the birth, but if he was he might even have met the infant (though Denethor might not have let that happen). Even if he didn't see baby Boromir, Aragorn's impressions of both parents adds flavour to his interactions with him as an adult. There is a lot that competent writers could do with this material, and it is but a tiny fraction of what the appendices give us for the Third Age. Both Rohan and Gondor were facing increased threats during this time (Saruman secretly aiding Rohan's enemies, the servants of Sauron in the East and South becoming more active with his being cast out of Dol Guldur and returning to Mordor), so there is the mix of war and politics to satisfy those wanting their own Game of Thrones…though I'd rather just have Tolkien.
@@belegur8108 They didn’t necessarily do it wrong, but turning it into another Tar Miriel moment was stupid especially because she’s been blind for over an entire season, how did she know where it was?
@@belegur8108 "the show did right" Elendil already had Narsil, though. He didn't "need to get it on Numenor." It was passed down through his family line. Miriel never gave him Narsil. He should have just HAD IT from the beginning of the series. The only alternate scenario here would be his own father gives it to him, assuming his father is still alive. If not, then he should have already had it.
Why did Durin have to pointlessly & suicidally "attack" the Balrog on his own? It makes no sense. Nothing in this show makes any sense. He'd already overcome the ring's power and taken it off, he could have left the ring there and come back. Why did he leave the ring on the floor when he could have destroyed it in Balrog's fire (mouth?) and thirdly, how the F did the ring re-appear at the end of the show in the King's room? It would have been well lost in that huge chasm which is now sealed off and supposedly off limits. If there are any genuine answers to all this, the show runners do a terrible job of showing them. The answer is, as always with this show, shallow spectacle, stupidity and script, just don't ask. They really don't care any more. They just want to get it finished. These is how much bemusement & stupidity can arise in just the first FIVE MINUTES of an episode of the Rings Of Plonker.
I was so confused by this scene. Assumed he took the ring off so his son would put it on and defeat the balrog. But then he just took it off, and left it on the floor. If he planned to suicide, why not attack the balrog while wearing the ring so he'd do more damage? And why, once the balrog was awake, would the mountain still be safe for the dwarves? Why wouldn't the balrog pursue them? Basically, they wanted to remake the Peter Jackson's Gandalf vs balrog scene (whip around the foot of self sacrificing hero, etc...). Except Peter Jackson actually built up tension before revealing the balrog. Rings of Power just makes durin turn and be like 'oh whats that red light' then a moment later the balrog is in his face.
it's such an idiotic scene that better writing could have saved at least for that scene. Have the Balrog loose killing people and Durin comes up with a suicide plan to trap the balrog but doesn't tell his son until the last moment for fear he would try to take his place. This schizophrenic scene goes from "Daddy's gone crazy" to "look I made us rich" to "I have to fight a Balrog, son" in a matter of minutes.
It's ironic that they are trying to throw the "evil cannot create" quote back at the fans when they've endlessly aped Peter Jackson to the point of wholesale lifting scenes from his films. 😆😆
So let me get this straight, Saurons plan was to be ceaserd by Adar and his orcs, be goo for hundreds of years, resurrect himself, get shipwrecked in the middle of the ocean, come across guyladriel, get imprisoned in Numinore, go back to middle earth to watch the orcs follow his other nonsensical plan to make Mordor, make the rings whilst waiting for Adar and his orcs to attack Erageon just so Adar can give him back the crown, whilst Adar gets ceasered himself? All of that just to conquer middle earth? What the fuck is this writing?!? Okay to be fair it wasn't his plan to be killed, but, almost everything after that the show either implies, or outright says it was all his plan.
The show never implies that’s his plan at all. He didn’t want to get killed by his orcs and he was nearly ready to live in numenor until Galadriel kept pulling him back
it's for those braindead fans who think convoluted improbable master plans means genius. Tolkien's Sauron was a master planner with a long game plan but nothing this idiotic relying on sheer coincidences and luck.

propably the whole point of the show. like many other "modern" series, they pervert the good and decent for the sake of individualism and cheap feelings. that happens on such a money-scale, that i seriously started to believe that. they do it on purpose. their shows are watched by many million people. dumb people who enjoy that kind of show. easy to manipulate, easy to satisfy, easy to tell what to believe.
The show definitely embodies the insidious way of thinking and machinations of the far left trying FORCE EVERYONE into a modern globalist Communist state using taxpayer money, lies, and gaslighting! I DESPISE every last one of 'em!
Because of this crap i assumed dwarves IGNORING Balrog for hundreds of years before discovering it yet again? And they even didn't know about his existence in third age when Durin 6 in charge? What a waste of fucking time.
it shows how screwed up the timeline is. Dwarves are long-lived (250 years or so) and in this timeline maybe it's a thousand years since the War of Wrath when the Balrogs were wiped out. Balrogs would likely still be a distant memory of an elder's great-grandfather. In the Third Age, when they awoke the Balrog it had been over 5000 years since the War of Wrath so it's more understandable that they wouldn't immediately recognize a Balrog or come to the conclusion. Nor was this group of dwarves in close contact with the Elves at this time especially the Noldor who had experience with Balrogs.
That Balrog scene...What a joke. It looked like they found the costume in a discount bin at Party City. Durin’s Bane? More like Durin’s Bane of My Existence. And don’t get me started on the dialogue - it’s like they hired a team of motivational speakers to write it. Every character suddenly has the emotional depth of a puddle, spouting off monologues like they’re auditioning for a soap opera.
It seems that the Dwarves know that there is something inside the mountain but they don't give a f**k about Melkor's servant. In 'Rings of Cringe' the Balrog is like the grumpy neighbor who is living in the apartment below yelling at the kids and the other people.
and the balrog comes out of nowhere except that the viewers know it from LOTR. In film and book, they foreshadow a monstrous thing in Moria that Gandalf is reluctant to risk encountering. This show goes from "hey, mithril! We're rich!" to "I love you, son! Got to sacrifice myself to this thingy that just popped up!"
It's because he's the only good character. The ONLY one that resembles the one in the books, & the great actor in the series. So, yeah, he's the only redeeming lasti of this for me. And the guy who plays Celebrimbor, though he looks NOTHING like him, did do a really great job with his acting. The scenes with Annatar & Celebrimbor were genuinely good, in my opinion. But, so much of the rest is just TERRIBLE. If they had excluded Gandalf & the "hobbits" entirely, it would have automatically been much less awful. Plus, the one scene that's closest to what Tolkien wrote, the last scene with Annatar & Celebrimbor, was great - because they used the source material more, & the source material is actually good. If they'd just stuck to the spirit of what Tolkien wrote, like they did in that scene & that storyline as a whole - this show wouldn't suck nearly as bad.
@@zzevonplant "The ONLY one that resembles the one in the books, & the great actor in the series." No, he does not resembles the one in the books AT ALL and the actor is as bleh as the rest of them.
They had been telegraphing Family Guy Orc's betraying Adar since the beginning of the season. Kind of ruins his arc having him instantly becoming a pawn of Sauron who betrays out of compulsion rather than free will.
Got bless they did not recreate Gandalf turning from grey to white with Galadriel, i would have smashed my fricking Monitor, i really thought they would reuse her unaliving to turn her into her white form
Well... somebody saw "Reign of Fire" with that leaping axe swing didn't they?! And "The Last Jedi"... Damn... I miss the days when actors were attractive. There isn't one woman in this series that is even mid.
@@Finis.Terrae You say "nitpicking" as if it is an insult. It is called critiquing and the reason the "amount" is so high is because there is a LOT of shyte in this show. Also, the aping of other movies is obvious and it isn't homages it is straight up ripping off. That is because they do not have a creative bone in their bodies... combined. The arrogance to think they can write Tolkien better than Tolkien is laughable.
They try to write Saruman the wise but nobody in this show is remotely wise because a wise man would know how to make a billion dollar show not look so cheap
Really needed a scene with a bunch of widowed orc mothers holding their babies wondering when their baby's fathers were going to return but then say 'oh it doesn't matter we can raise you better by ourselves.' and then we truly get the origins of the evil orcs.
I BET next season will start with a scene where the Balrog is embracing his deamon wife and daughter saying sorry for not being able to free them... 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The show is so bad, espacially the battle. I still don't know, how many orcs attacked, how many elves defended, and how many civilianz were in this "city". It feels like 200 - 300 orcs attacking, maybe 30 elves defending, and then around 40 - 50 cildren, women and old people running around in panic, and later 30 dwarves show up to save all of them. It just doesn't feel, like a big siege. It's pathetic
Look. I'm a 'shipper. I love 'shipping characters in my favorite shows and movies. But here's the thing - I don't want my 'shipping interfering with the stories of those properties, because then I wouldn't LOVE them so much. This is why we have fanfic and fanart and other fanworks - to geek out and indulge guilty pleasures. It's a rare fanfic that would translate to a good TV show or movie, but that seems to be ALL Hollywood is doing anymore. Worse yet, they're producing the worst kind of fanfic - Mary Sue self-insert fanfic. *SHUDDER*
@@garylancaster8612 Basically, you're taking the "ship" off of "relationship". "Shipping" or to "ship" is when you pair two fictional characters together and make fan fiction/art based on that pairing, regardless of canonicity.
The villains are the only ones with half a brain in this show. And yes, even the Balrog. He was doing the dwarves a favor taking out the mad king Durin.
I see, Arondir got elven knowledge about healing herbs at the start of 1th season, then forgot it all around the time they met wounded Halbrand then he downloads this knowledge again at the moment he is wounded himself :D
Of course they hate Tolkien. These losers haven't create anything as good as Tolkien's work, except ruining everything that is already made good by other people.

They haven’t created anything worthy in comparison to all fantasy as a genre. This is In the Name of the King levels of terrible. At least I got a good laugh out of that having Burt Reynolds as a king.
They had dwarves challenging whether Durin would lead in Khazad-dum. It was moronic enough that they had two Durin alive at the same time, but they actually suggested that a *DURIN* wouldn't lead?!?
What are the rules of death in this show? Black Legolas stabbed to death,lives. Girl boss stabbed to death, lives. Sauron v1 stabbed to death, dies but lives. Orc daddy stabbed to death, dies. Token white lady chopped to death, dies. Asian warrior chick pin-cushioned, dies. Celebrimdork pin-cushioned, lives but dies to spear. Galadriel falls off a mountain, lives and is unharmed while token white lady falls a couple dozen feet and is bloodied beyond repair … These writers have no concept of rules or continuity. People just live or die as the next episode’s canned plot requires.
The dumbest part about Numenor this episode was obviously how the previous scene of Miriel surviving the sea monster had NO consequences at all, Pharazon just arrested everyone anyway. Which also means Pharazon could have done that to begin with, so why the whole dance to try to not antagonize the faithful? Literally everything that happened in Numenor between Pharazon somehow becoming king and him arresting Miriel could have been cut, and it wouldn't have impacted the plot in any way.
Not to mention it shows "the Faithful" as literally sacrificing people to prove themselves to the Valar, something the Valar would literally NEVER approve of.
I like the part where Celebrimbor endured torture and gave his life to prevent Sauron from learning the location of the elven rings and then Galadriel just shows him hers but it's okay because she ships him so hard that he forgets and spends the next five thousand years wondering where it went. That's girl power!
What's hilarious is that you need 2 minutes of reading a wiki (which I did, as I love LotR but I am not ultra-savvy with the lore) to realize it is a name which has a meaning and translation. Just like what they did with Narsil or many characters, it's like they're doing it on purpose to piss off people who actually care about the lore.
No way he fully loses it. It feels too early. We've got at least another season to go before that happens. I'm guessing he pulls up just before impact.
Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Finale review of Season 2 Episode 8. The story's wrap up, the cast take the piss out of the backlash of the first one and nothing makes sense. We get even more shipping than you can shake a stick at. A balrog wakes up and promptly is forgotten about, Adar destroys a whole city only to forget why he did it as soon as it happened. And while Galadriel finally gets justice, unfortunately Elrond saves her from it. This season was advertised as lots of battles, all action, all canon and a fast moving plot. None of this happened, no mistakes were fixed, but many more were made. The main way to enjoy the plot is to forget what happened and just enjoy Lord of the Rings movie references. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
I love your videos.
Whenever I watch RoP, the Top Gear phrase come to my mind... "ambitious but rubbish"....
Never watched more than a second of Rings of Power. Saw a second since Amazon sneakily had it autostart in between episodes of another show I was watching.

My favourite part of the Rings of Power ep 8 was when Galadriel entered Sauron's Diddy party and tore off her mask, revealing that she was Agatha all along.

I assume the implication is that it couldn't get back up or was buried. But if it was buried, then you'd need a lot of rock to fall presumably destabilizing the mountain. It doesn't seem like something the dwarves would regard as adequately resolved.

@@princejohn8245 Although Durin's axe was found and claimed by Balin between the events of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, so couldn't be under 10,000 pounds of rubble next to a sleeping Balrog. Not sure if Tolkien ever explicitly said it was magical, though.
@@markpolo97 tolkien was very subtle about magic, it was less "boom +3 to damage" and more extension of a person, ultimate expression of craft and dedication, so yes...I do think that the king of one of the most talented craftsmen in middle earth had a magical axe, as in "the axe in which the spirit of the dwarven art was inbued" the same with rings, it was not about making you stronger, rings of power were the essence of will and perfection
I like how the Numenoreans were always this very diverse crowd, but somehow the group they send to Pelargir as colonizers, consists almost exclusively of white males.

The issues with this series are many:
Pseudo-Gandalf: Weird dumb hobo constantly looking for a shaft he can fondle
Pseudo-Saruman: Obviously evil even though Saruman is _not_ evil at this point in his story... which means he shouldn't be here at all along with Not-Gandalf because the Istar don't arrive BY BOAT to Middle-Earth until the Third Age... but whatever, he's just bad from the start rather than it being a slow descent into villainy due to jealousy and pride.
Pseudo-Hobbits: Murderous dumb little folk... and they don't even smoke pipeweed! Instant fail right there.
Pseudo-Galadriel: Insufferable Girl-Boss who somehow despite being Mary Sue'd (incompetently) somehow still ends up massively _less_ awesome than the real Galadriel who by this time in the lore was one of the oldest, wisest, and most powerful of all the elves on Middle-Earth and who was one of the few who _NEVER_ trusted Sauron as Annatar, not even the slightest.
Pseudo-Elrond: Probably the closest to actually representing the real Elrond, but Elrond was never a politician or a diplomat, never had any special dealings with the dwarves, and was a healer as well as a warrior. Also never had the hots for Galadriel because he was much more interested in bending her daughter over~
Pseudo-Celebrimbor: Greatest of all elven smiths and one of the greatest smiths aside from Faeanor... doesn't know what an alloy is
Pseudo-Sauron: Supremely lucky idiot who's "plans" only work because everyone else around him is as thick as he is, and his main successes only come about through pure blind luck. Is he actually blessed by Eru or something, because that's the only way any of his luck can be explained... Eru secretly an evil god confirmed!
Pseudo-Isildur: Soy boy who gets cucked multiple times yet never seems to learn his lesson from it. Has no direction in life because the writers thought it would be funny to make one of the greatest kings of men into an incel
Pseudo-Tom Bombadil: All powerful bystander who is fully aware of the threat the world is facing, is aware of how it will affect the world... but naahhhh he's just gonna pick some flowers and hang out in the desert because it ain't his job. He's like a firefighter who see's a fire but does nothing... because he's off the clock.
This whole series is almost like Plato's Allegory of the Cave; this series is like a pale shadowy imitation of what truly is, brief signs of what it represents yet pale and ephemeral and nothing even close to as great as the real thing.
You have hit the nail squarely on the head
@@auramatic77 I pounded that ring~
Indeed
Elendil and Arondir delivered the most convincing performances.
They shouldve focused in one or two stories instead of multiple stories condensed hundreds of years of plot development into 2 seasons. They couldve done a Numenor and elf focused story and then introduced the other plot points and details along the way.
Galadriel:
Did anyone make sure my daughter arrived here safely?
Elrond:
Daughter, you say?
They didn't just....they didn't just rip off HARRY FREAKING POTTER in a Lord of the Rings show?! "The Staff finds the Wizard" "the Wand chooses the Wizard" I haven't actually been annoyed by this crap since seeing Season 1 episode 1 where I quit, but this is like that Yoda reveal in the Acolyte for me, and it's plundering a different fantasy series for ideas to try and make their fan fiction quality writing show that's a billion dollar disaster seem good.

And I didn’t mind that Arwen got the role of Glorfindel and Eomer got the role of Erkenbrand, because otherwise the movies would have been cluttered with characters that don’t do much due to time constraint.

This show is like when we were kids and tried to write our own story in our favorite franchise. Just a gobbledygook of time, places, and people with no real plot or cohesion. Just whatever ever pops into an 8 year old kid's mind that they think is cool to them regardless of how it benefits the story or if it even makes sense to anyone else reading or watching the project. This entire project is Crayon level writing, acting, character development, time and space awareness, plot, almost everything. About the only thing that mildly looks and feels Tolkien is the set and backgrounds, and even that is then overshadowed by all the people look the same everywhere you go, this entire story basically feels like it takes place in just one large metropolitan city that covers a couple different geological types and formations and it takes 8 hours to walk from one side of "town" to the other, or a 45 min horse/car ride and bang your where you need to be.

And when she sings, her voice can detect precious metals! Awesome! And she can control specific animals and get them to attack people! She should also be responsible for waking up a deadly monster whose going to kill our beloved leader/maybe destroy us all, but no other characters should ever resent her or even question the part she played."
I love how they imply the Dwarves knew about the balrog to some degree. The whole point is they had no idea about it. They were mithril crazy.
They just can't get anything right. With their ego, even bigger than their negative IQ.
yeah this is why they called it Durin's Bane because the memory of balrogs was nearly 5000 years ago when they actually woke it up in the book
So is the Balrog even evil in this? Seems like its angry because the Dwarves were making too much noise; thus, waking the thing up.
Nice take on that. The Balrog is saying "Would you please stop with all that banging? I'm trying to get some sleep" and Durin, who does not speak balrog, says "You must die, creature!" No wonder he ends up killing all those dwarves.
Seems pretty reasonable to me. Dude was breaking and entering. I'd be grumpy too if someone busted into my house uninvited using a battering ram that rained rock down on me while I was asleep. Poor guy was just defending himself, his home, and his peace and quiet during a home invasion.
Haha he is just the redneck neighbour who pops a cap in the burglar’s ass before going right back to sleep
Technically Morgoth created the misty mountains. The Balrog has a greater claim to Moria than anyone in the 2nd age.

@@Pherim_ To be fair no amount of effort can produce this grade of shit. It takes a special IQ that most people don't have
Gil-Galad treats Galadriel with such disdain despite her being both his elder, and either his great aunt or second cousin. Durin was the eldest of the fathers of the dwarves and all the latter Durins were believed to be his reincarnation which kind of prevents there being 2 alive at once. Galadriel’s father fought with the other elves of Valinor alongside the Valar when Morgoth’s was defeated. Galadriel’s brother Finrod was almost immediately released from the Halls of Mandos to sit beside his father in Valinor due to his valor. Many of the Noldor who fled Valinor returned with Galadriel’s father after Morgoth’s defeat. There would be plenty of living elf warriors who slew more orcs than Galadriel, especially since she wasn’t a warrior.
even if there could be 2 at once, no way would Dwarves allow a Durin to be usurped by some other candidate.
@@christophersmith8316 and with Durin IV having two kids already , chances are good, that we saw Durin V, too
Galadriel is supposed to be the oldest or one of the oldest elves we see in this shitshow. Yet she acts like she's the youngest. Even younger than Elrond.
@@depressed_firefly Not just one of the oldest remaining in Middle Earth, one with the greatest lineage. Her mother is the daughter of High King Olwe of the Teleri Elves in Valinor. Her father, at this time period, is the High King of the Noldor in Valinor. His parent were the previous High King Finwe and Indis of the royal house of the Vanyar elves in Valinor. Thus she represents all three Eldar groups by blood ties and is either a couple thousand or 10,000 years old at this point.
Elrond is one of the youngest, but he has in his ancestry: Melian the Maiar, Elwe Thingol the first Eldar Teleri elf Lord, and their daughter Luthien, the greatest of Men through Tuor, Eärendil, and Beren, and the Noldor royalty through Elwing and Idril. Not to mention being kidnapped by Maedhros son of Feanor then raised by him for a time.
@@belegur8108 According to dwarven beliefs, each Durin is supposed to be the reincarnation of the original Durin, and on the death of (I think) Durin VII, all dwarves will cease to be. Thus, it would be impossible for one King Durin to have a son who is also Durin.

Also, Thousands of years of Knowledge had been Burned.
@@xLionsxxSmithyx I never bought this "thousands of years of legacy" this is one serious blunder on tolkien's side, elves do not have legacy, they are immortal. What is the point of writing books if you can just ask a dude who was there? What exactly was lost? "Oh we lost thousands of years of history...wait, here is Gil Galad who literally remembers all this stuff" poetry maybe, but since they have excellent memory they could probably rewrite if from memory. Elves are just too long lived for their culture to make sense. Imagine if you could just walk to your great-great-great-great grandfather and just ask him about stuff. for it to make sense elves should live like 300 years max. Otherwise the ancient elven civilisation is nothing as they are people walking around right now who remember its beginnings

Vader being seduced to the dark side has a whole different meaning to these idiots.
@@aarala When they hear the word seduce, their immature brains immediately think of 💋💋.
The elves shouting and hollering in the end like barbarians is probably the most ridiculous shot. Those are ELVES. Even if they look like chavs.
The elves were also cheering on the leaders directly responsible for the loss of their city, the loss of numerous elves, and empowering Sauron. And yet, they're cheering for them? In reality, they'd be marching them to hastily built gallows.
Yeah. From the beginning the writers have made it clear that they have zero understanding of the elves. For them, elves are just humans with pointy ears. They don't look like elves. They don't act like elves. They don't talk like elves (although they REALLY try to have them talk like elves but without understanding and so it's just trite).

Hey Disparu, I love how you started this episode with the cast quoting Tolkien, and finished the same way, you know it's like poetry, it rhymes, you know, like a ring.
Rule #1 of rings or power, it can, and WILL get dumber.
Yeah, that part Disparu's talking about at 22:00 the rings weren't a problem until the One Ring was forged. It was needed to corrupt them. Until that happened everything was fine.
@@marhawkman303 true, his will would have been in those rings but likely needed the activation of the One Ring to make their wearers vulnerable to his mind. When he captured the rings then he could have poured more of his malice into them thus how we get Nazgul. Rings of Power don't need a One Ring at this point as Sauron can just go around sowing chaos dispensing these rings to everyone.
@@ronindave_ytgaming6333 well, that's a quirk that this series screws up, Sauron may have shown the elves how to make the rings, but he didn't actually directly affect the creation of them. Sauron needed the one ring to influence them.
Season 2 makes season 1 a master peace. :/
Who would have known that Sauron is only about the third most wicked character of this show? With Galadriel in a solid second place, and the Harfoots as the pinnacle of evil. I did not see that coming.
Well, they got us to hate them right back. Do they not understand that WE as the lovers of Tolkien ARE part of his legacy? That is the main reason it is so stupid for them to hate it...
Yes.. they do understand that.
It’s the exact same thing happening with Lucas Film and Disney. They are fully aware that Tolkien/Star wars fans are why these brands are so valuable. They just hate us more than they love their profit margin.
Seriously.. I suspect this time in Hollywood will have books written about it. Almost every major studio is hemorrhaging money with their most expensive IP’s
Well judging by the cast interviews they don’t care about Tolkein and they certainly don’t care about you/us, we as a society have managed to let big corporations pander to small but loud voices online and it’s literally ruined art.
I was actually wondering where Anarion was this whole time. He's kind of important. Far more important than this daughter that doesn't exist. Unless they don't consider the entire Gondorian Dynasty important.
If we're going by the assumption that the showrunners never actually read the books beyond catching names and maps and only watched the films, I would think that they thought Isildur didn't have any siblings at all because when the _Fellowship of the Ring_ movie showed the Siege of Barad-dur , it didn't show Anarion because he would have been slain at that point.
I would bet that they don't even know that Gondor was co-ruled by Isildur and Anarion when it was first established.
@@lmahu6627 The films didn't show Anárion because he was cut to simplify the narrative. Otherwise the Argonath would have had him instead of Elendil, and Denethor could have voiced this great line from the books to show his disdain for Aragorn:
"I am Steward of the House of Anárion. I will not step down to be the dotard chamberlain of an upstart. Even were his claim proved to me, still he comes but of the line of Isildur. I will not bow to such a one, last of a ragged house long bereft of lordship and dignity."
RoP, on the other hand, had the potential to indulge in the more complex storylines, and proved themselves incompetent.
@@Atanalcar You know, that makes me think of how much potential a show focusing on the earlier life of Aragorn could have, provided there was a sufficiently capable writing team/cast/crew behind it. You could go into the early days of him becoming the chieftain of the Dúnedain, meeting Arwen, slowly becoming the powerful, capable leader we see him as in the war of the ring. And you could explore the dynamic between him, Denethor, and Ecthelion and give some additional context to Denethor's unwillingness to surrender his stewardship.
@matthewn4896 Yep. And if you think about it, Aragorn told Éomer he had spoken to his father and to Théoden before Éomer was born (note, Éomer's mother was born in 2963, 6 years into Aragorn's errantries in Rohan and Gondor. Théoden was 19 when his sister was born. What age was Éomund? Somewhere in between. A boy but possibly old enough to be useful, following his father's éored and learning the duties of a lord of the Mark). So you have that dynamic to play with.
He finished his errantries 2 years after the birth of Boromir. We don't know at what point before that he left Ecthelion's service for his journeys East and South. Even if the acquaintance was casual, he likely knew Finduilas, might even have been in Gondor when she wed Denethor. He was often in the court advising Ecthelion, how well might he have come to know her? What did he think of her? It's possible he was aware of her pregnancy before he left. It's less likely that he was still in service around the birth, but if he was he might even have met the infant (though Denethor might not have let that happen). Even if he didn't see baby Boromir, Aragorn's impressions of both parents adds flavour to his interactions with him as an adult.
There is a lot that competent writers could do with this material, and it is but a tiny fraction of what the appendices give us for the Third Age. Both Rohan and Gondor were facing increased threats during this time (Saruman secretly aiding Rohan's enemies, the servants of Sauron in the East and South becoming more active with his being cast out of Dol Guldur and returning to Mordor), so there is the mix of war and politics to satisfy those wanting their own Game of Thrones…though I'd rather just have Tolkien.
Did they really butcher the story of Narsil? Is this show a meme? Is this a parody? A joke? Who could hate LOTR this much?!
actually Elendil getting Narsil on Numenor is one of the very rare things the show did right
@@belegur8108 They didn’t necessarily do it wrong, but turning it into another Tar Miriel moment was stupid especially because she’s been blind for over an entire season, how did she know where it was?
@@NewDawnRS2499 i agree to that 😁
@@belegur8108 "the show did right"
Elendil already had Narsil, though. He didn't "need to get it on Numenor." It was passed down through his family line. Miriel never gave him Narsil. He should have just HAD IT from the beginning of the series.
The only alternate scenario here would be his own father gives it to him, assuming his father is still alive. If not, then he should have already had it.
@@JaidynReiman i agree, but the show butchers the Lore so much, just that Elenbil has Narsil as his weapon is a highlight for them...

More like suck it off.
My grandmother always told me: "No matter what they teach you in school, Disparu was Middle-Earth's first drag queen".
Why did Durin have to pointlessly & suicidally "attack" the Balrog on his own? It makes no sense. Nothing in this show makes any sense. He'd already overcome the ring's power and taken it off, he could have left the ring there and come back. Why did he leave the ring on the floor when he could have destroyed it in Balrog's fire (mouth?) and thirdly, how the F did the ring re-appear at the end of the show in the King's room? It would have been well lost in that huge chasm which is now sealed off and supposedly off limits. If there are any genuine answers to all this, the show runners do a terrible job of showing them. The answer is, as always with this show, shallow spectacle, stupidity and script, just don't ask. They really don't care any more. They just want to get it finished. These is how much bemusement & stupidity can arise in just the first FIVE MINUTES of an episode of the Rings Of Plonker.
I was so confused by this scene. Assumed he took the ring off so his son would put it on and defeat the balrog. But then he just took it off, and left it on the floor. If he planned to suicide, why not attack the balrog while wearing the ring so he'd do more damage? And why, once the balrog was awake, would the mountain still be safe for the dwarves? Why wouldn't the balrog pursue them? Basically, they wanted to remake the Peter Jackson's Gandalf vs balrog scene (whip around the foot of self sacrificing hero, etc...). Except Peter Jackson actually built up tension before revealing the balrog. Rings of Power just makes durin turn and be like 'oh whats that red light' then a moment later the balrog is in his face.
it's such an idiotic scene that better writing could have saved at least for that scene. Have the Balrog loose killing people and Durin comes up with a suicide plan to trap the balrog but doesn't tell his son until the last moment for fear he would try to take his place. This schizophrenic scene goes from "Daddy's gone crazy" to "look I made us rich" to "I have to fight a Balrog, son" in a matter of minutes.
👌 One cannot simply WOKE into Mordor 👌
No... it comes FROM the source of all evil.
😂😂😂😂 nice
But out of it..
wow they really added a girl who cheats on her husband because the love of home and kindness wasn't enough and she wanted "more". Disgusting filth
It's ironic that they are trying to throw the "evil cannot create" quote back at the fans when they've endlessly aped Peter Jackson to the point of wholesale lifting scenes from his films. 😆😆
“Evil cannot create , b-but we created something” they are literally calling themselves evil 😂
So let me get this straight, Saurons plan was to be ceaserd by Adar and his orcs, be goo for hundreds of years, resurrect himself, get shipwrecked in the middle of the ocean, come across guyladriel, get imprisoned in Numinore, go back to middle earth to watch the orcs follow his other nonsensical plan to make Mordor, make the rings whilst waiting for Adar and his orcs to attack Erageon just so Adar can give him back the crown, whilst Adar gets ceasered himself? All of that just to conquer middle earth? What the fuck is this writing?!?
Okay to be fair it wasn't his plan to be killed, but, almost everything after that the show either implies, or outright says it was all his plan.
The show never implies that’s his plan at all. He didn’t want to get killed by his orcs and he was nearly ready to live in numenor until Galadriel kept pulling him back
The Reverse Salad.
The Dark Lord works in mysterious ways I guess.
@@oXRaptorzXoThat’s even worse. He’s pathetic and just lucky.
it's for those braindead fans who think convoluted improbable master plans means genius. Tolkien's Sauron was a master planner with a long game plan but nothing this idiotic relying on sheer coincidences and luck.

propably the whole point of the show.
like many other "modern" series, they pervert the good and decent for the sake of individualism and cheap feelings.
that happens on such a money-scale, that i seriously started to believe that.
they do it on purpose. their shows are watched by many million people. dumb people who enjoy that kind of show. easy to manipulate, easy to satisfy, easy to tell what to believe.
🤮🤮🤮
The show definitely embodies the insidious way of thinking and machinations of the far left trying FORCE EVERYONE into a modern globalist Communist state using taxpayer money, lies, and gaslighting! I DESPISE every last one of 'em!
Because of this crap i assumed dwarves IGNORING Balrog for hundreds of years before discovering it yet again? And they even didn't know about his existence in third age when Durin 6 in charge? What a waste of fucking time.
it shows how screwed up the timeline is. Dwarves are long-lived (250 years or so) and in this timeline maybe it's a thousand years since the War of Wrath when the Balrogs were wiped out. Balrogs would likely still be a distant memory of an elder's great-grandfather. In the Third Age, when they awoke the Balrog it had been over 5000 years since the War of Wrath so it's more understandable that they wouldn't immediately recognize a Balrog or come to the conclusion. Nor was this group of dwarves in close contact with the Elves at this time especially the Noldor who had experience with Balrogs.
'I'd quite like to pull off an elf' kills me every time.
Sauron shapeshifting during the fight must have been so emotionally devistating for galadriel. 😢
My grandmother always told me, “no matter what they tell you in school, the Balrog is Cleopatra”!
That Balrog scene...What a joke. It looked like they found the costume in a discount bin at Party City. Durin’s Bane? More like Durin’s Bane of My Existence. And don’t get me started on the dialogue - it’s like they hired a team of motivational speakers to write it. Every character suddenly has the emotional depth of a puddle, spouting off monologues like they’re auditioning for a soap opera.
It seems that the Dwarves know that there is something inside the mountain but they don't give a f**k about Melkor's servant. In 'Rings of Cringe' the Balrog is like the grumpy neighbor who is living in the apartment below yelling at the kids and the other people.
and the balrog comes out of nowhere except that the viewers know it from LOTR. In film and book, they foreshadow a monstrous thing in Moria that Gandalf is reluctant to risk encountering. This show goes from "hey, mithril! We're rich!" to "I love you, son! Got to sacrifice myself to this thingy that just popped up!"
Disparu has done a great service for mankind by sitting through this rubbish so we don't have to - thank you man :)
Cringe of power made me a hardcore Sauron fan.
Never have I ever wished for evil to win.
It's because he's the only good character. The ONLY one that resembles the one in the books, & the great actor in the series. So, yeah, he's the only redeeming lasti of this for me. And the guy who plays Celebrimbor, though he looks NOTHING like him, did do a really great job with his acting. The scenes with Annatar & Celebrimbor were genuinely good, in my opinion. But, so much of the rest is just TERRIBLE. If they had excluded Gandalf & the "hobbits" entirely, it would have automatically been much less awful.
Plus, the one scene that's closest to what Tolkien wrote, the last scene with Annatar & Celebrimbor, was great - because they used the source material more, & the source material is actually good. If they'd just stuck to the spirit of what Tolkien wrote, like they did in that scene & that storyline as a whole - this show wouldn't suck nearly as bad.
Why? He's as terribly written and acted as the rest of them.

@@Finis.Terrae You say "nitpicking" as if it is an insult. It is called critiquing and the reason the "amount" is so high is because there is a LOT of shyte in this show.

It feels like 200 - 300 orcs attacking, maybe 30 elves defending, and then around 40 - 50 cildren, women and old people running around in panic, and later 30 dwarves show up to save all of them.
It just doesn't feel, like a big siege. It's pathetic

They haven’t created anything worthy in comparison to all fantasy as a genre. This is In the Name of the King levels of terrible. At least I got a good laugh out of that having Burt Reynolds as a king.
to imagine that the showrunners didn't even make it into the credits with their work for Jar Jar Abrams...
They had dwarves challenging whether Durin would lead in Khazad-dum. It was moronic enough that they had two Durin alive at the same time, but they actually suggested that a *DURIN* wouldn't lead?!?

Thank you Rings of Power, you made me discover Disparu
Our family gave up on this three episodes in. Looking back, it’s hard to see how we lasted that long.
What are the rules of death in this show? Black Legolas stabbed to death,lives. Girl boss stabbed to death, lives. Sauron v1 stabbed to death, dies but lives. Orc daddy stabbed to death, dies. Token white lady chopped to death, dies. Asian warrior chick pin-cushioned, dies. Celebrimdork pin-cushioned, lives but dies to spear. Galadriel falls off a mountain, lives and is unharmed while token white lady falls a couple dozen feet and is bloodied beyond repair …
These writers have no concept of rules or continuity. People just live or die as the next episode’s canned plot requires.
Goldsmith lady fell among a bunch of orks who immediately butchered her though. Pretty good reason to die imo
Fans of the show will say it's fantasy, why do you care?
As if consistency in fantasy doesn't matter.
The dumbest part about Numenor this episode was obviously how the previous scene of Miriel surviving the sea monster had NO consequences at all, Pharazon just arrested everyone anyway. Which also means Pharazon could have done that to begin with, so why the whole dance to try to not antagonize the faithful?
Literally everything that happened in Numenor between Pharazon somehow becoming king and him arresting Miriel could have been cut, and it wouldn't have impacted the plot in any way.
Not to mention it shows "the Faithful" as literally sacrificing people to prove themselves to the Valar, something the Valar would literally NEVER approve of.
"They'll never know what you sacrificed for them", Papa Orc said to Sauron as he gnawed on a human arm.
these guys can't love anything but themself. and they'll hate you for not being like them.
I like the part where Celebrimbor endured torture and gave his life to prevent Sauron from learning the location of the elven rings and then Galadriel just shows him hers but it's okay because she ships him so hard that he forgets and spends the next five thousand years wondering where it went. That's girl power!
Isildur: I survived a volcano
Pharazon's son: So did Sauron, you must be him.

What's hilarious is that you need 2 minutes of reading a wiki (which I did, as I love LotR but I am not ultra-savvy with the lore) to realize it is a name which has a meaning and translation. Just like what they did with Narsil or many characters, it's like they're doing it on purpose to piss off people who actually care about the lore.

No way he fully loses it. It feels too early. We've got at least another season to go before that happens. I'm guessing he pulls up just before impact.
Poor man watching this sh●t😂
The 2 show runners kind of sound like they legitimately think this is profoundly good. Maybe I am just imagining that.
