So the Numenorians intend to sail to Middle Earth to help relieve the southlands from the peril of Sauron, but we are shown a meagre 3 ships (apparently that's all numenor has) and a bunch of teenagers who are inexperienced in any sort of combat.

if you rewatch Ser Arthur's 1v5 fight. You should've died few seconds after the fight started due to extensive swinging. But still, it's the writer's choice
In many sword fights, fighters uses slash and side cuts, not stab, because is not a very used in fights at close ranges, they prefer slashing, that's why she said that. So, no, you would not know.
What a fencing horror. Even in the Hong Kong action movies of the 80s, they filmed it better. With such a budget, she could have hired good coaches and normal choreographers.
I felt like I was watching one of those christmas romance movies with the main woman protagonist smiling at everything around her for no reason, except those movies are at least better than this lol
preparing to go to war against unknown odds and they start training now? and they let their newest/untested hostile guest do the training? i'm confused
And now an inexperienced young soldier with no sword skills is lieutenant and will have responsibility for some troops. The orcs have no way of winning!
Not the worst fight, still it's more like the peter pan movie Hook than anything remotely Tolkein. Her hair is so messy they really cant be bothered to make her look like an elf at all. Just looks like a woman from Rohan
@@provisionalhypothesis the hobbit movies were a cash grab obviously, you can read that book in like a day and they made it three movies. Why do you have an impulse to defend this show?
You're right, I couldn't place it but thats it. I was thinking pirates of carribean at first but those are on a whole nother level. This show is just an amalgam of different movies/shows I've seen. No personality of its own.
Why do they all fight like idiots? Even untrained people should know better than to blindly lurch forward, lol. Smurfette Clark is also not the least bit convincing as a super-skilled woman.
It doesn't make any sense since numenorians were the most war like human tribe, and we're the closest thing to superhumans. They were very powerful, these on the other hand are average human being template 15 meant for warmonger Galradriel to look good.
Where in the books is Galadriel described as a professional soldier and army commander ? Except during the very brief Kinslaying where she is said to have fought alongside the Teleri, I don't recall her being depicted anywhere as this vastly experienced and restless swordfighter.
@@ptitecame6688 I know. With the insane amount of disrepect to the lore Amazon has been showing consistently since episode one they could at least have come up with basic decent writing. It's both infuriating and hilarious how crippled this show is.
Last Jedi fight scene, middle earth version. I think they should at least hire the choreographer and stunt director from the hobbits if they wanna do an over the top fight scene.
I saw a clip of this scene and couldn't even tell it was Lord of the Rings. It looks like a cheap musical number with choreography to match. Is this really meant to be taken seriously?
@@dannydark0117 But she isn’t a fighter. She may have worked as Galadriel if they kept her a feminine mage and used camera tricks to make her look tall.
If she is so good and best at everything, why does she need an army? Just go on your own. I am sure she will come out victorious from what we saw in this travesty of a show.
@@cashewnuttel9054The hobbit could be saved via edits. It had a great soul with Thorin and Bilbos tragic relationship. Honestly underrated but only as a decent edit. Meanwhile, RoP just has good scenes. Aka, there is no way to connect it all in a new way and suddenly have a better product.
Well, certainly an improvement over flying Galadriel who can slice and dice a troll with a few swings of a sword. But my suggestion would be... stop trying so hard to portray Galadriel as "bestest evah", and give her character some actual wisdom and depth. She is supposed to be over a thousand years old and this scene doesn't reflect it. I mean, these men are going to war... What kind of a dumb commander you have to be to fill these soldiers with doubt and realization about just how much they suck in combat. The advice she gave is laughable and it serves only to show to everyone how awesome and strong Galadriel is. And don't get me wrong... Galadriel should be extremely powerful (you will get no argument from me about that), but there is a time, place and way to demonstrate her abilities in full glory - and this ain't it, doc... I mean, doesn't she have something better to do than publicly humiliate soldiers who volunteered for war? PS. Also... Numenorians are supposed to be the best the human race has to offer and who themselves can live hundreds of years... I know, the show runners don't care about lore... but my god... at least try to portray them as semi-competent...
@@hamanu666 I just want Galadriel to be a woman.....if she's a worrier as it's hinted to in the appendix make it believable....but this is too much, I prey for female backing on this...Tolkien was amazing at displaying masculine strength vs feminine strength, why not stick with it and tell young girls their instincts are okay instead of telling them they need more masculine instincts, like battle readiness? I just don't get it....yet all these masculine traits have kept us safe for so long....but men are toxic, unless they're women . I pray for young boys every day
@@marymalinowski7991 the Amazon showrunners made it clear : they would write the story Tolkien did not. And probably that rewriting characters completely was part of this idea.

Wow, i thought she's going to teach them some secret move how to kill trolls instead of just stabbing them in the belly 😂😂. They really really made her the most stupid character in the show. Absolutely terrible and everyone seem to hate her. She's supposed to be the main protagonist
She took the sword out of his hand and in the process cuts a tiny piece of her own sleeve and made him Lieutenant. Makes a lot of sense why the entire show became a circus
0:22 there was no need to add that to the show, she sexually assaulted him, they would never show that the other way around and if they did they would throw a massive fuss over it
Anime usually has much better swordfight choreography than this. They're usually not realistic, but are at least a lot more impressive than whatever this is This is a bunch of drunken theater students who haven't so much as talked to a HEMA (or even Kendo) instructor before just flailing and swinging like idiots
Galadriel looks so incredibly unimpressive in Rings of Power. That is a disgrace, especially when compared to the stellar, imposing an at the same time sexy presence of Galadriel in the first three movies. They get nothing done properly these days. And this scene is remarkably boring.
Her family was even able to fight an evil god so she should be quite good in the combat and she is not an extremely old lady like she will be in the lord of the rings these ancient elves are quite strong
Haha, yeah she said she would show them how to fight orcs, then just fought like an elf and humiliated all of them. Great training. I'm sure those scared looking teenagers will have no problem slaughtering orcs now.

@@dannydark0117 But she isn’t a fighter. She may have worked as Galadriel if they kept her a feminine mage and used camera tricks to make her look tall.
I think the actress is fine. The writing of the character is just so boring. Good at everything, right about everything. Boring internal motivations.
Where did you see an actress???🤣
This Karen takes on 5 men and it seems so fake, yet The Bride in Kill Bill takes on 88 assassins at once and it seems so real.
Shooting great fight scenes is an art in itself
If she is so good and best at everything, why does she need an army?
Just go on your own.
I am sure she will come out victorious from what we saw in this travesty of a show.
Like fr, they’re literally portraying her as an unbeatable warrior, at this point she’s fighting the Balrog by herself
Every elf is portrayed that way, don't you remember Legolas?
@@mythicalsalmon3621 Legolas was a warrior. Galadriel wasn't even in Numenor. What are you trying to say?

Clearly they didnt have enough budget to hire a non shitty choreographer.
Have you ever seen someone acting so smug about a scripted win? Pro wrestlers don't even act that narcissistic.
Had they simply switched Galadriel with Legolas, NO ONE would complain
Sorry, am I supposed to be impressed that this 2000+ years old experienced fighter manages to beat a bunch of beginners?
