That part where 8 months ago the leaks revealed Halbrand was Sauron, they were spot on, so transparent, so accurate on every detail, it was as if Tolkien's ghost itself was defending his mortal works.

I LOVE this show!! Hands down, the best comedy series ever created! When I found out that this was a LOTR parody, I really started to enjoy it. Never laughed so hard in my life.
I've been enjoying Tolkien's works for 53+ years. This C- fanfic is a pyroclastic flow of wasted money, opportunities, and good will. J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, you paddled in the kiddy pool at Bad Robot: this story requires the skill, determination, and holy imagination to swim across an ocean. Also, when will the sociopathic little Harfwits be cast into the fires of Mount Doom? I'll be glued to my screen for that scene.
If this is "C- fanfic" and a "pyroclastic flow of wasted money, opportunities, and good will," then the Hobbit was the apocalypse itself. Infinitely better than PJ's fanfiction rendition.

@@mark9294 look the Hobbit films arent good just because this abomination was created. There was stuff added in those movies that was just as stupid at points...
@@squaeman_2644 you couldn’t put all key events in a trailer, but you could put them in a nice 2 hour movie comfortably. In terms of screen time, the Hobbit trilogy is even longer than the first season of RoP, but in the former quite a lot happens, there’s a plot and a journey. In RoT the actual events are basically: 1) Galadriel jumps off the ship and lands in numerous 2) she and the Numenorians go to middle earth 3) they fight (rather inconsequentially) 3) Mount Doom erupts and turns Southlands into Mordor (most consequential) 4) Meteorite Man lands (unclear if consequential since nothing else has really happened with him this entire series). That’s pretty much it so far.
This is going to be one hell of a finale! And by hell, I mean “a place of eternal evil, suffering and pain where we are continuously punished for our sins”.
Can't wait for this episode to release! I don't plan on watching it of course, but I seriously love watching RUclips critics tear each episode apart and roast the show.
I thought a group of men on the beach screaming the sea is always right was equally as entertaining. AAAND A group of Ethnically diverse people on an small island that isolated itself from the rest of the world screaming ELF LOVER was hysterical!
I just realized, season 1 is ending with only one episode left and still not feeling the same level of attachment that I've felt for other great shows that I've watched. It didn't give that same feeling of "Oh! I can't wait for season 2 already!" y'know...
Hear you brother. I couldn't give a shit for any of these characters, no backstory, no proper development and they're just as bad as the Orcs themselves. This is definitely not Tolkien
But HotD is just a tad samey. Its not great. RoP, is more interesting. At the very least its fantasy. Rather than HotD where its only fantasy when they remember. I'm not going to be watching S2 of HotD, but will watch RoP...

Volunteer army that collapsed at just the first skirmish with a group of orcs... of orcs. What gave them the confidence that they could contend with Sauron, smh
A disgraceful spit in the face of all of us. They even spat in the face of Peter Jackson and Tolkien himself. Best we can do is remember this and let it become an example of what not to do.
The worst part is people that don’t really know will think you are referring to this pile of dog shit if anything of quality ever comes out in the future. This is gonna turn off a lot of young people if they have any brains. Then again hopefully it’ll convince them to go and read the original books or watch the original trilogy.
@@Yurmir-dk5qh I love Jar Jar haha. Episodes 1-3 and "Clone Wars" series will always be my favorite. Always routing for "The Senate", Father Palps, and Good old Sidious.
Somehow Galadriel survived, somehow Bronwyn didn’t die of those 2 or 1 arrow, somehow orcs didn’t active the volcano before, somehow Halbrand will have to travel 300~ miles to get elvish medicine, somehow numenoreans knew where they had to go, somehow the villagers didn’t encounter the orcs on their way back, somehow the elves didn’t notice the massive orc trenches from their tall tower, somehow some orcs can be under sunlight- except when they can’t, somehow the sea is always right despite drowning Elendils wife, somehow Miriel got only blinded and not roasted, somehow mithril can save the elves despite it not being a light-saving ore, somehow Elrond deceived Durin and still had the audacity to cry when pretending to be besties…and somehow Palpatine returned… 🎉 Even if it had no Tolkien in it - all these amazing coincidences are off-putting on a standard show
As a die hard Tolkien fan, here's what I think about the show: 1. The visuals, for the most part are really good. The VFX, the landscapes, the destruction, the cities, all that sort of thing looks great 95% of the time. And yet somehow occasionally you get clunky effects here and there, some buildings that look like they are made out of cardboard, some (very obviously) CGI landscapes... I mean it can't be possible that the 20 year old OG trilogy looks better at times right? But you know what, it's fine. It just happened a few times. 2. The writing (as in the story itself) is pretty bad. Like, we all know Tolkien didn't write that much about the Second Age, we all know Amazon can (and should) have a few liberties to develop the story. But the general outline of events is there, made by Tolkien himself. This story so far has done almost nothing. We knew S1 was always supposed to be an introduction. But come on. There are so many irrelevant characters. Most of the harfoots story was unnecessary. There was no need to introduce the Balrog yet. Who the hell is The Stranger supposed to be? The wizards didn't arrive until the end of the Second Age and start of the Third. It would make no sense if he was Sauron. Having the elves and dwarves was enough to take us back to Middle Earth. Now, I get that Galadriel is younger and whatever, but other than the name, there's nothing about her and Cate Blanchet's Galadriel (or the book's, for that matter). Who the hell is Halbrand? Why did he become king out of absolutely nowhere? He's just a random dude that apparently everyone knows is supposed to be king but there's no reason behind it? Or is he just a discount Aragorn? Who the hell are Bronwyn and Theo and why should we care about them? They have done absolutely nothing of importance. It means nothing if they die or whatever because so far they are irrelevant and you can't really relate to them. 3. The dialogue and tropes are absolutely embarassing. I didn't expect Tolkien-tier dialogue, because he's a master of his craft. But the show's dialogue is very poor. Almost "somehow Palpatine returned" tier. The "Southlands" label turning into "Mordor" was extremely cringeworthy. Most of Galadriel and Miriel's dialogue means absolutely nothing. Like they are only saying words without meaning. Most of the comic relief is poorly placed and simply is not funny at all. 4. While I did like some of the armours from Numenor and the general look of the dwarves, most of the elves don't look like elves at all. Was it so hard to give Elrond and Celebrimbor longer hair? Why does Bronwyn always look so clean and perfect? She's a random farmer ffs. There's something that makes most of the show not feel Tolkien-esque. It generally looks like a generic fantasy show. Honestly, Game of Thrones and House of Dragon feels more Tolkien than RoP. 5. This is probably the most controversial part. I don't have any problem with the show including characters that aren't white. That's fine. Actually, Tolkien did explain the peoples from Rhun, Harad and the Southlands ranged from olive to black skin tones. And that's great, I would have loved to see storylines and characters from those places, specially since Tolkien didn't write much about them, so Amazon could have done whatever they wanted! But no. Amazon didn't care Tolkien explicitly wrote about how each race is in the books. Diversity exists in ME since there are several towns, races and different peoples in those races. But they rarely mixed with each others. The dwarves and elves hated each other. Men and elves rarely mixed. Even most Men realms didn't really liked each other and were quite far from each other. Diversity didn't exist in ME as it does in real life. It exists in ME as it did 500 years ago in real life. Each group of people were mostly homogeneous. Now: I loved Disa for example. She is a likeable character and the actress did a great job portraying her. But it makes no sense for a dark skinned person to portray someone from a race that literally never goes out in the sun. How did skin pigmentation happened if the people literally have always lived in caves? How is Arondir black if ALL other elves are white? How does that happen? How are there a few black and asian numenoreans if they literally lived isolated in an island? Hey, it's nothing to do with racism or whatever. It just makes no sense. For a story made by a man which described every single aspect of his world, it's extremely poor from Amazon just to ignore the meticulousness of Tolkien to create a realistic world and make "Generic fantasy world No. 387".
I understand you brother. Such a long list of things that needs to be improved on the series, and I think the descendant of Tolkien also noted all of this concerns, it is just in the hands of Amazon to even improve and build it up on the Second Season of ROP. Obviously, even Tolkien himself doubted that his grandiose works will be perfectly caricatured in a film, movie or series. So it will be so hard for anyone to really capture the main essence of the source material. Also, the facts that Amazon don't have the rights of the Silmarillion makes it more harder to write and connect the most interesting origin stories that were only mentioned in few times in the appendices of LOTR, Hobbits books.
You've hit the nail on the head! It's almost like they don't have many behind the scenes or enough actors who are passionate about the project, the parts they're playing and Tolkeins work. There are good moments here and there but there is so many scenes which feel pointless and empty, but the problem is I'll still carry on watching and skipping scenes as I still want to see a bit of what happens. Amazon will still get enough views through people like me who are curious even though a lot of the stuff in the series is garbage regardless of how much they've spent.
Episode 6: Water defies gravity flowing vertically up a volcanic mountain and pouring into it.😆😅🤣 Episode 7: A mortal, (also very insufferable female elf) along with the villagers/soldiers/orcs survive the onslaught of an 1800-deg superheated gas, and 450mph lava/rock debris pyroclastic flow.

@@wknight5595 That and we have Rise of Skywalker level fore sight. Apparently, Sauron crafted a sword that had only one use and he knew that someone, in the future, would dig miles of trenches and tunnels in exactly the right way, and use it to... "BREAK THE DAMB! RELEASE THE RIVAHHH!"

@@brandonsmith9098 There was plenty of lava. It's in the explosion mixed with all the dust and rock. It doesn't have to be a flowing river or pool for it to be lava
it took them 7 hours to achieve nothing. The fellowship is less than half of that and they accomplish 10x more with a tenth of the budget of one episode ._.
Completely agree. It’s pretty stupid they waited until episode 8 to show anything. Unfortunately it’s become the norm for most TV shows that want you to tune in every week. It’s a bit unneeded to not show us anything until episode 8 because almost everyone will watch it regardless. This was the biggest issue I had with this new series. So so so stupid.
I think they know very few people watched so they need to be like check out some things that we think look important. Like disa forging a axe 🪓. Literally she hits it once and goes into a conversation with durian
@@lordpappanqui thats what I'm saying, alot hated this series but they are still here waiting for the next episode. If you don't like it then stop watching. Or maybe do your own series then we'll talk.
Might need less energy drinks to get thru an episode if Darth Vader appeared along with Darth Bezos . Isn't much more against Tolkien's lore than what the writers have already done
Doesn't Exterminatus wipe the life off of a planet? Unfortunately the action is probably led by those with a Y chromosome and thus they won't be able to defeat Guy-ladriel and this show will have another season.
'We've written the novel Tolkien never wrote', they said. And weren't they right? Weren't they bloody right? In every way imaginable. Like 50 Shades of Grey is the book Shakespeare never got round to. And yet they still stuck Tolkien's name all over it for kudos and publicity...the grubby little creeps that they are 😂
haah I know right? "Hey lets make a series about all the stuff Tolkien never wrote about!!" Yeah fk you lol, how about you film a series about the stuff he ACTUALLY wrote about???
He’s okay but I’m not buying that he killed Sauron. Obviously Sauron can’t die but I’m really not buying that Adar is capable of destroying Sauron’s physical form.
@@LifeIsBrief Indeed. In lore, it took two greatest warriors of Men and Elves to kill him and even then he took both of them down with him. That one sickly looking not-elf managed it and lived is impossible.
If these people can all survive a pyroclastic blast without so much as a scratch, then I'm pretty sure they're all Sauron. They'll all link up Voltron style and create Super Sauron
You have acheived an impossible feat. No one would have imagined, even in their farthest dreams, that someone could fail this miserably. You had a perfect original text and a large base of fandom, both from the books and the movies, and such budget you emphasize so much on. How, just how??? Now I come to think of it, maybe the more proper question to ask shoud be why. It seems you despised the work of Tolkien and all of its fandom, and you jut wanted to ruin it. And yes you have done it tremendously well. I'll give you that. And just to let you know I am not some Facist in the western white world. I am an Asian from South Korea.
Well they say they spend 60 million $ on each episode out of which 50-mil goes on buying reviewers, media houses…it is very well understandable why this show has everything poor …I mean how can you make a quality tv series with just 10mil per episode budget? 😂😂😂
yknow, thats literally what happens in the second age resulting in the last alliance: the exposition at the start of Lotr. so that wouldn't change lore at all? Also, if the show were true to lore it would have to span nearly 2000 years from forging the rings to the end of the second age Not every world building spree is readily available to be turned into a media format it wasn't originally intended for. Its called creative license and rings of power is still authentic to the ideas and concepts presented in the second age of tolkiens middle earth, even if its not 100% accurate. (Because if it was, it would actually fucking suck as a show)
Lord of the Rings had a runtime of 9 hours, scrap all the alternative endings and the entire Lord of the Rings journey would be wrapped up. 8 hours into this show and the story has not moved anywhere, still waiting for Sauron, no mystery boxes has been revealed, after four hours of screentime they have not made up it's mind whether to mine for mithril... Even the ents would be bored out of their mind by the the pace of this show.
TV and Film are such different mediums. If anyone made LOTR into a TV show it wouldn’t be just one season long (i.e. the films split into eight x one hour segments). It would have been spread out over multiple seasons, like they are clearly doing here.
@@Tapman99 Yeah, you do not have to explain that films and TV shows is a different medium. It does not make it any less bad. You are suppose to make something happen after 8 hours, even in a book that would be considered bad.
@@Tapman99 in the First episode of got there was already more story than this crap entire season, same for hotd. This show manage to make Chronicles of shannara look like a masterpiece.
@@Tapman99 Boring is boring, whether it's TV or films and since the showrunners and people making it have connections to JJ Abrahams and 'bad reboot' expect more tedious crap in season 2
Right? Of course they "confirmed" the second season right after the premier which is a BIT too early, but if course that was all for hype. I really am wondering what the future of this show is going to be.
I love that the first thing following this promotional video is a shot of a semi getting shattered by an immovable warrior. It describes this show quite succinctly.
Some deviation from the Books is understandable, but they’re going too far. Galadriel was never no commander. Also, they should be focusing more on Elendil, Gil Galad and Isildur going forward. They were the main protagonists in the fight against Sauron
No, the project was destined to fail no matter what they would've done. Lotr Fans are the biggest basement warriors in existence. There is no point in trying to please someone that can't be pleased.
I thought it could be him but after this last episode I’m thinking it’s less likely. Why ditch the main antagonist for most of the episode? I dunno, I feel like no one knows who Sauron is yet.

That part where 8 months ago the leaks revealed Halbrand was Sauron, they were spot on, so transparent, so accurate on every detail, it was as if Tolkien's ghost itself was defending his mortal works.
Oh but the fans of the show are debating who is really Sauron. They are really getting into it. The buzz is building.

I've been enjoying Tolkien's works for 53+ years. This C- fanfic is a pyroclastic flow of wasted money, opportunities, and good will. J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, you paddled in the kiddy pool at Bad Robot: this story requires the skill, determination, and holy imagination to swim across an ocean.
Also, when will the sociopathic little Harfwits be cast into the fires of Mount Doom? I'll be glued to my screen for that scene.
If this is "C- fanfic" and a "pyroclastic flow of wasted money, opportunities, and good will," then the Hobbit was the apocalypse itself. Infinitely better than PJ's fanfiction rendition.

In terms of screen time, the Hobbit trilogy is even longer than the first season of RoP, but in the former quite a lot happens, there’s a plot and a journey. In RoT the actual events are basically: 1) Galadriel jumps off the ship and lands in numerous 2) she and the Numenorians go to middle earth 3) they fight (rather inconsequentially) 3) Mount Doom erupts and turns Southlands into Mordor (most consequential) 4) Meteorite Man lands (unclear if consequential since nothing else has really happened with him this entire series).

Even if it had no Tolkien in it - all these amazing coincidences are off-putting on a standard show
This show puts life in perspective, the day you finally want evil to win.
i want evil to be defeated, and I'm looking at you, Darth Bezos.
As a die hard Tolkien fan, here's what I think about the show:
1. The visuals, for the most part are really good. The VFX, the landscapes, the destruction, the cities, all that sort of thing looks great 95% of the time. And yet somehow occasionally you get clunky effects here and there, some buildings that look like they are made out of cardboard, some (very obviously) CGI landscapes... I mean it can't be possible that the 20 year old OG trilogy looks better at times right? But you know what, it's fine. It just happened a few times.
2. The writing (as in the story itself) is pretty bad. Like, we all know Tolkien didn't write that much about the Second Age, we all know Amazon can (and should) have a few liberties to develop the story. But the general outline of events is there, made by Tolkien himself. This story so far has done almost nothing. We knew S1 was always supposed to be an introduction. But come on. There are so many irrelevant characters. Most of the harfoots story was unnecessary. There was no need to introduce the Balrog yet. Who the hell is The Stranger supposed to be? The wizards didn't arrive until the end of the Second Age and start of the Third. It would make no sense if he was Sauron. Having the elves and dwarves was enough to take us back to Middle Earth. Now, I get that Galadriel is younger and whatever, but other than the name, there's nothing about her and Cate Blanchet's Galadriel (or the book's, for that matter). Who the hell is Halbrand? Why did he become king out of absolutely nowhere? He's just a random dude that apparently everyone knows is supposed to be king but there's no reason behind it? Or is he just a discount Aragorn? Who the hell are Bronwyn and Theo and why should we care about them? They have done absolutely nothing of importance. It means nothing if they die or whatever because so far they are irrelevant and you can't really relate to them.
3. The dialogue and tropes are absolutely embarassing. I didn't expect Tolkien-tier dialogue, because he's a master of his craft. But the show's dialogue is very poor. Almost "somehow Palpatine returned" tier. The "Southlands" label turning into "Mordor" was extremely cringeworthy. Most of Galadriel and Miriel's dialogue means absolutely nothing. Like they are only saying words without meaning. Most of the comic relief is poorly placed and simply is not funny at all.
4. While I did like some of the armours from Numenor and the general look of the dwarves, most of the elves don't look like elves at all. Was it so hard to give Elrond and Celebrimbor longer hair? Why does Bronwyn always look so clean and perfect? She's a random farmer ffs. There's something that makes most of the show not feel Tolkien-esque. It generally looks like a generic fantasy show. Honestly, Game of Thrones and House of Dragon feels more Tolkien than RoP.
5. This is probably the most controversial part. I don't have any problem with the show including characters that aren't white. That's fine. Actually, Tolkien did explain the peoples from Rhun, Harad and the Southlands ranged from olive to black skin tones. And that's great, I would have loved to see storylines and characters from those places, specially since Tolkien didn't write much about them, so Amazon could have done whatever they wanted! But no. Amazon didn't care Tolkien explicitly wrote about how each race is in the books. Diversity exists in ME since there are several towns, races and different peoples in those races. But they rarely mixed with each others. The dwarves and elves hated each other. Men and elves rarely mixed. Even most Men realms didn't really liked each other and were quite far from each other. Diversity didn't exist in ME as it does in real life. It exists in ME as it did 500 years ago in real life. Each group of people were mostly homogeneous. Now: I loved Disa for example. She is a likeable character and the actress did a great job portraying her. But it makes no sense for a dark skinned person to portray someone from a race that literally never goes out in the sun. How did skin pigmentation happened if the people literally have always lived in caves? How is Arondir black if ALL other elves are white? How does that happen? How are there a few black and asian numenoreans if they literally lived isolated in an island? Hey, it's nothing to do with racism or whatever. It just makes no sense. For a story made by a man which described every single aspect of his world, it's extremely poor from Amazon just to ignore the meticulousness of Tolkien to create a realistic world and make "Generic fantasy world No. 387".
I understand you brother. Such a long list of things that needs to be improved on the series, and I think the descendant of Tolkien also noted all of this concerns, it is just in the hands of Amazon to even improve and build it up on the Second Season of ROP. Obviously, even Tolkien himself doubted that his grandiose works will be perfectly caricatured in a film, movie or series. So it will be so hard for anyone to really capture the main essence of the source material. Also, the facts that Amazon don't have the rights of the Silmarillion makes it more harder to write and connect the most interesting origin stories that were only mentioned in few times in the appendices of LOTR, Hobbits books.
You've hit the nail on the head! It's almost like they don't have many behind the scenes or enough actors who are passionate about the project, the parts they're playing and Tolkeins work. There are good moments here and there but there is so many scenes which feel pointless and empty, but the problem is I'll still carry on watching and skipping scenes as I still want to see a bit of what happens. Amazon will still get enough views through people like me who are curious even though a lot of the stuff in the series is garbage regardless of how much they've spent.

Lord of the Rings had a runtime of 9 hours, scrap all the alternative endings and the entire Lord of the Rings journey would be wrapped up. 8 hours into this show and the story has not moved anywhere, still waiting for Sauron, no mystery boxes has been revealed, after four hours of screentime they have not made up it's mind whether to mine for mithril... Even the ents would be bored out of their mind by the the pace of this show.
TV and Film are such different mediums.
If anyone made LOTR into a TV show it wouldn’t be just one season long (i.e. the films split into eight x one hour segments). It would have been spread out over multiple seasons, like they are clearly doing here.
@@Tapman99 Yeah, you do not have to explain that films and TV shows is a different medium. It does not make it any less bad. You are suppose to make something happen after 8 hours, even in a book that would be considered bad.
@@Tapman99 in the First episode of got there was already more story than this crap entire season, same for hotd. This show manage to make Chronicles of shannara look like a masterpiece.
@@Tapman99 Boring is boring, whether it's TV or films and since the showrunners and people making it have connections to JJ Abrahams and 'bad reboot' expect more tedious crap in season 2
There was only one ending and it's the same as the book.
I can't wrap my head around how season 2 hasn't been canceled yet.
Right? Of course they "confirmed" the second season right after the premier which is a BIT too early, but if course that was all for hype. I really am wondering what the future of this show is going to be.
The season rec(r)ap is so stunning and brave.
I love that the first thing following this promotional video is a shot of a semi getting shattered by an immovable warrior. It describes this show quite succinctly.
I had the lowest expectations for this show possible and some how it's worse than I could of ever imagined.
This series even fails to make a "Season Finale" Trailer.. resulting in a Season Recap Trailer... this tells you everything about it
Go Sauron!!!
If they had just followed the Tolkien chronicles closely, they would have had a hit series.
U mean if they didn't add blacks?
Some deviation from the Books is understandable, but they’re going too far. Galadriel was never no commander.
Also, they should be focusing more on Elendil, Gil Galad and Isildur going forward. They were the main protagonists in the fight against Sauron
Theres an entire essay that can be written on the things they ignored galadriel being a commander is just one of them
No, the project was destined to fail no matter what they would've done. Lotr Fans are the biggest basement warriors in existence. There is no point in trying to please someone that can't be pleased.
@@thediesel1241 so your basically the lotr and the hobbit trilogys were shit? Am i hearing this right
“If I could just hold on to that feeling, bind it to my very being” - Halbrand (Sauron)
What if he lost that lovin feeling?
@@Riri-oj1zs He’s going to put the One Ring on it
#halron... trying it out
I thought it could be him but after this last episode I’m thinking it’s less likely. Why ditch the main antagonist for most of the episode? I dunno, I feel like no one knows who Sauron is yet.
@@harryskywalker6814 Halbrand is a blacksmith. Kelebrimbor needs the second one for crafting. Halbrand is Sauron.
Isildur's horse is the best character of the series at this point
