  • Rings of Power ep 5 feels a bit more stale and shallow than before. It just feels like nothing matters or there is nothing to care about.

    So the reason you are confused is that the show hasn’t explained anything:
    The Faithful is referring to the books where they represent the group of numenorian still faithful to the valar. There is conflict between them and the Kings Men who want to rebel and will eventually breach the ban of the valar and sail west.
    As for eh species hybrid in Tolkien, apart from the half elven, it mostly doesn’t exist. There are different tribes be it for elves or dwarves. Elves have noldor, vanyar, teleri, sindar and sylvan(mostly); while dwarves have longbeards, fire beards, broad beams, iron fists, stiff beards, black locks and stone foots.
    There are as far as I know no half elves dwarves or half dwarves humans, so the dwarves stay to themselves. And elves and humans only rarely eh mingle in that way.
    Similarly most of the elves you are seeing are supposed to be noldor.

      In one or two generation humans would be decimated and nothing good would've been left on Earth. The only thing they can find when they grovel in the dirt and try to find something beautiful is thousands of stories meant to be timeless and immortal, painted all over with the feces and fingerprint of the Woke to the point of unrecognizability. The Woke is a worse disaster than the Qu or the Squeem.

    They're putting too much Emphasis on it.
    Also...
    The events in this show are supposed to happen THOUSANDS of years Apart but instead they are all overlapping and happening simultaneously...
    It would have been better if they did more Focused movies instead of a series tbh.

    Orcs are the only group that isn't diverse, they are also the only group that have been shown to care for their families.
    Not that it matters because time and distance is not something Amazon seems to understand, but it's about a 100-200 miles miles from Khazad-dûm to Ost-In-Edhil (called Eregion in the show, when Eregion is the name of the region Ost-In-Edhil is the name of the city/capital). And, of course, the events the show depicts are supposed to happen over some 5000 years not all at the same time but because making an anthology show where the elf actors stay the same would've been too difficult Amazon chose to have none of it make sense instead.
    I'm tired of hatefiction, I want the makers of shows to actually stick to the lore, you know, the thing that has the fans and the viewer base baked in.

    what some people need to realize is that "race" in the real world and race if fantasy games,movies,stories are totally different. when we talk about different "races" when it comes to humans we usually talk about skin color/ ethnicities but when we talk about different races in stories/fantasy we are really talking about different species so it dosent make sense to give them human attributes like various ethnicities. it would be like expecting a dog to behave like a cat in the name of inclusion. like how would there even logically or biologically be one "black" dwarf in that mountain? where did she come from? if this was a natural adaptation we would see far more of it right? like it just dosent make sense i dont hate black people i just hate lazy writing

    @LaffeeTaffeeGG 18 часов назад +9

    4:20 Just to add a little clarification here: dwarves didn't evolve to live underground. They were literally _created_ to live underground. The god Aule created seven dwarves, then set them free under the mountains in different locations on Middle-Earth where they developed seven tribes (and also why there are seven rings for the dwarves). They've always been underground, meaning if we have dwarves of darker skin, then they are from a completely separate and unknown tribe of dwarves that no one in Middle-Earth knows about, and has lived in the sun for many generations. Which I guess could be a possibility? But the dwarves of Middle-Earth are extremely well-connected and social (amongst their own kind), so it'd be extremely weird for there to be another random tribe of dwarves that no one talks about or visits (besides the "petty dwarves" but they were killed off by the Elves a long time ago).

There were 7 founding fathers for the dwarfs all created at the same time then allowed to awaken after the elves.

    So alteori about your question of who or what the faithful are. In the books sauron was held captive by the Numenoreans after they stomped or was gonna stomp his armies so hard they retreated and left sauron to be captured, i kinda forget on which it was. Eventually he was let go after whispering things into powerful people's heads and promising immortality and such if they just get to the elf lands across the sea and take it. They tried to invade the elf lands, but the creator god Eru Iluvatar said you royally screwed up, sank the city, the fleet, reshaped the flat world into a sphere. The ones that escaped the city and that disaster are the faithful and didnt get deceived by sauron and they still believed in the valar.
    as for what they are in this crap show. honestly it doesnt matter since it will change meanings depending on the episode.

    The most massive problem with this show is
    1. Shattering (Or ignoring) the canonical lore:
    2. Time compression: The events of the Second Age last 3,441 years, and even just the events from the Forging of the Rings to the end of the Second Age took 1,941 years. The events of just the Forging of the Rings of Power to the Siege of Eregion take 197 years. The events of Ar Pharazon, Elendil, Isildur, Tar Miriel, and Numenor's final decline occur from 3255- 3319, a 64-year period, 1,819 years after the forging of the rings.
    3. Shattered immersion of Middle Earth
    I can go on and on...

    For me fantasy is about heros journey. And often literally a journey through diverse world. it is far more interesting and indulging when hero travels to far away land where people look different have a different culture.
    "i have been far and wide. To land where people look different then us have a dark skin like coal dress in most wonderful fabric of blue with feathers and travel only by night on animals that look like goats but without horns and with humps on their back to store water. Fight with bat like creatures. Eat nost wonderful fruit that looks like a sea snail yet tastes better then cold beer on a hot day. Both bitter and sweet"
    is way better story works more on imagination then.
    " yeah their society is mixed like ours, even tho it make no sense, they have horses. and are basically exactly the same. food is also just McDonald's "
    its quite telling that it might be the same type of american that goes to itally and eats at a local Mcdonald, kfc or what ever goes to see main tourist attraction. adds ketchup to aglio olio calls it traveling and comes back home saying he has been to itally. lol
    I mean even irl there is a reason why there are black people in USA. Theres a story of a journey. same with whites.
    When someone doesnt get the journey to different place is the basis of fantasy. And just gonna make the everyone different just because. they are missing the point.
    it like Marco Polo going to asia to find europe there.
    there is no adventure. no learning of new cultures.
    "I want to see new people and places just for god sake let them be exactly like me"

    It is pretty incredible how much liberty they have taken with rewriting lore. Collapsing 5000 years of characters and events into a week requires immensely talented writing and this ain’t that.

So they look around they real world and just add basic fantasy characters that complies with the agenda no matter the affect on immersion into the show.

    The dwarves were created underground to hide them for ir aluvatar who never intended them to be made. Once discovered they were ordered to be destroyed but the fear and sorrow of the dwarves gave aluvatar pause and they were spared but only to rule mountains.
    For agriculture they traded minerals of the mountains in exchange for resources for example in the hobit in the beginning dwarves were inside and the men were outside in the opening scene of the books and movies.

    8:30 Wellll Jolene Blalock, the actress of T'pol, actually historically did NOT like the oversexualization of her character. She was a huge nerd and loved the idea of playing a Vulcan, and they kept making her the sexual relief, but to a detriment of the character overall. Not hatin' on you, I get your point and all and I agree somewhat -- people shouldn't be so prurient. But, she herself wasn't on board with the level of it. She is an amazing actress and did a lot for the character, too.

      @@Alteori Yeah she was a model beforehand. Her issues weren't solely about the sexualization, that was just one big part in season 3 and onward. Jolene was quoted saying how she didn't like that they made her convictions as a Vulcan so weak, that she would have not been as 'desparate' as the rest of the crew since she was already a space explorer, and felt she would hold onto her convictions longer than just being around humans a few months.
      In Season 3, they went more skimpy on the outfits, and she was quoted saying "you can't substitute tits and ass for good storytelling". "you can have both, but you can't substitute one for the other, because the audience is not stupid".
      and some other stuff. There was a lot of drama between her and Braga about her character. But I like the show overall

    What is with films thinking jewellery needs a big fat clearly plastic jewel on top to look kingly, powerful or fantastical? They just always look awful, you couldn't get your hands on actual gemstones or like get some jewellers to make you some? What were real sapphires, rubies and emeralds out of their price range? You couldn't hire a ring out for a day?
    Also for those who don't know the basic timeline of what this show should be showing you. Here's how it should play out.
    Sauron appears as Annatar to Galadriel and Gil-Galad. They tell him to piss off, not trusting him.
    He ends up in Eregion and Celebrimbor allows him to stay, but doesn't fully trust him. He's interested in the arts he can provide him.
    Six hundred years later, after many lesser rings and prototypes are tested and forged, the actual rings of power are all forged
    Annatar goes off on a sunny holiday to Mount Doom while Celebrimbor forges three rings in secret, the elven rings
    Annatar forges the one ring within Mount Doom and places it on his finger, expecting to begin his corruption of the elves
    However the elves with the rings of power on at that time, sense this and go oh hell nah! They tear the rings of their fingers and hide the rings away. Even the secret three were dared not used while the one ring was in Sauron's possession.
    Sauron utterly furious that his plans have been derailed, marches on Eregion and sacks it. All he gathers from Eregion are all the lesser rings. At this point even Mount doom is likely cold compared to his fury.
    They capture Celebrimbor, under heavy torture, he reveals where the nine and seven are but never the three. We are talking real heavy.
    His body is than used as a banner by the orcs
    Eventually Sauron gathers up the seven and nine from the elves through battles, sieges and so on
    He than hands them out to the dwarves and men
    However it still backfires as while the nine kings turn and fall under his control
    The dwarves became a little greedy but that was about it. They were stubbornly resistant to the influence of the one ring and corruption through their ring of powers. However their greed attracted dragons and obviously some dug too deep.
