Imagine walking into a Stephen Hawking lecture, where he presents an impossible mathematic problem, and you are like: Yo, did you try some addition and subtraction and shit? And Hawking's mind is blown... this is what Halbrand did essentially...
Ya it was seriously like going to IT, they can't figure out the issue and you tell them, "have you tried turning the computer off and on" and IT freaks out and calls you a genius.
To be fair, they're talking about amplifying the _magical_ properties of the metal, not just the physical properties. So it's a little more complex than making a standard alloy, especially given the mostly unknown properties of this odd material.
Oh it's over! They might make a second season, by which I'll be very surprised, but I'd be willing to bet money there won't be a third. They've already gone too far to fix it and they can't start over. So the only solution I see is to buy people out of their contracts, call it a loss and move on. I know I won't be watching a second season even if it gets made. This is a bad show even if it wasn't LOTR. And for the most part it's not. WTF connects this show in any way to LOTR? We're watching LOTR from an alternate reality. It's like the Mandela Effect version of LOTR...
@@giveandtake8428 The plan is to make 5 seasons but we don't know the contract with the showrunners. Either way, they will not cancel it because it would look bad for Amazon and a lot of heads would roll.
So. Let me get this straight: Galadriel's brother AND husband die fighting Sauron. She's pissed. She searches for Sauron for 500 years. She risks her life to find him, disobeys the elf king, and is willing to let other elves die of exposure just so she can keep searching. She jumps off a ship 4000 miles from land and refuses literal Heaven because she just can't let Sauron go and must get her revenge. She leaves innocent people to be eaten by a sea monster to keep her vengeance going. She goes to Numenor and lies and schemes to manipulate the queen into giving her an army and to force a now peaceful Halbrand to return to a place he doesn't want to. She has a huge tempest inside of her of hate and revenge, so much so that she can't even speak to anyone civilly. After getting her army of lies, she rides into battle, slaughters orcs and interrogates Adar and threatens genocide against him for daring to be tortured by Sauron and trying to find a home for his kin. She abandons screaming men, women, and children burning alive to keep the quest or revenge going. She gets the queen to agree to send an even bigger army to destroy Sauron. She returns to her kind and figures out, after all this time, after all the hate, death, torture, and thousands of miles, and hundreds of years, that Sauron is standing right next to her. Her response? Eh, you can go. You can literally still see his backside riding away and she's like, "Nah, I'm good releasing a Dark Lord upon Middle Earth." On top of that, she doesn't even tell anyone he's back and who he is. This show... is hilarious.
@@tamatebako_yt That's a form of burial. Thorin was engraved in the same way - laying in the middle of large room with Orcrist and Arkenstone in his hands.
Celebrimbor: No matter what I try to do offscreen, this mithrill just will not cooperate. Helbrand: Have you tried doing blacksmithing things? Celebrimbor: Gasp. Why didn't I think of that?
Celebrimbor being the best Elven smith yet having others hold his hand throughout the entire smithing process was pretty funny. Just like how the writers for the show lied on their resume and got the job, so did Celebrimbor.

Take heart for our EXSURGE TOLKIEN that makes robustly clear the heresy of Tolkien's Canon displayed out of the showrunner's mouths and hearts. They probably know nothing of Tolkien's masterpiece, as evident from their interview in the Vanity Fair Article. For "they who proclaim to loveth Tolkien, yet understandeth, not his world view can neither hope to create a new film, show, or series of his secondary world." "Auta i lóme!" and" Aurë entuluva!"

Everyone's missing the most important part of the last episode. They smelted gold, silver, steel and mithril together yet created two golden ingots and one mithril ingot out of it. I need to know how to do that in case i overpour the milk in my tea again. So that i can pour the milk from the tea cup back in the milk jug.
In all fairness, in real life metals have different parametrs. If you smelt 3 metals together, after a while it will form 3 layers of each metal in the smelting bucket. So all you have to do is to is to remove layer by layer to separate them. Kind of like if you pour oil into a glass of water. Oil will be mixed at first, but over time it will surfsce leaving water as a bottom layer. Im more concerned of why the hell we had a "super forge" build by elvrs and dwarves together plot line and then we never saw it happen and all they did is to forge rings in Celebrimbor's old ass fogery... Completely pointless plotline
"I've never seen stones like this!" exclaims the Maiar who once lived in Valinor with all its wonders, and who saw the Silmarils close-up on Morgoth's crown. Oh, wait, we're not supposed to know he's Sauron - the worst-kept secret in all of Arda.
Adar actually has a fleshed out motivation for what he does! The actor did such a great job too, I was hoping Adar would Sidenote, "Uruk" just means "orc" in black speech, so his insistence on being called Uruk is like me telling a Spanish person to call me "friend" instead of "amigo." He's the most well-written character in the show but it's still really bad.

Came from a Cracker Jack's box. lol Also, they keep dropping hints as-if this is from the Peter Jackson LOTR universe, with character's saying lines for example - so why not just get those same props? Like everything else in this show, it makes no sense.
Dont forget that the opening eps were all about getting Elrond to get the dwarves to help build a giant forge that would burn hotter than a dragon's fire, which was half built in days, and then was promptly forgotten about and good ol Celebrimbor just used his regular old forge instead.
In the next season, Galadriel is going to find bodies with a different mark on them, which will say "S. Auron". Who could it be? And why is Halbrand always suspiciously close to those bodies? Probably because he's still in love with Galadriel and no other reason.
Wait, Gandalf shouted "I'm good" at the witch ladies and they exploded... into moths. Gandalf used a moth to call the eagles in the Fellowship of the Ring... Did Gandalf just curse those three witches to be his eternal moth slaves?
It's important to realize that for Harfeet, their hearts are bigger than their feet, but also somehow their hearts are in their feet, so Lenny stabbing the foot of one of the rockstars makes sense. He thought it'd be a killing blow.
i wonder whether they can dip one foot in the sea without having a heart attack. Of course, if one did that, they'd find out that the hair is actually pine needles glued on by years of gunk.
It's so cute how Galadriel fell for that line "stronger than the foundations of the Earth" that she still remembers it when Frodo comes to look at the water mirror thousands of years later.
When you finish reading a great book or watching a great show or finish a great movie or a video game there is this sadness because it's over...for this it was completely opposite, I was so happy at the end!
I liked the scene where Galadriel after a laser sword battle inside mount Doom says to Sauron - You were my brother Anakin, I loved you...! No wait maybe it's another movie
At the end of the episode. If Galadriel never left Valinor, Halbrand/Sauron would have been contended on a floating raft. She convinced Sauron to take the Southlands. She convinced the Numenurians to help Sauron take the Southlands. And when Sauron decided to take it all she disagreed. She seemed like a confused person like Leonardo DiCaprio in Shutter Island.p
Well, according to the showrunners Sauron storyline for the next season is going to be reminiscing of those of Walter White or Tony Soprano, so I guess that instead of forging the one ring he´ll be cooking meth in mount doom whilst being the head of the new orc mafia. WTF is wrong with these people and more importantly, will Adar play Jesse then?
To be fair, these are the same writers who decided that Numenoreans don't like elves cause they take their jobs. Elves. Who have essentially zero children and do not live on Numenor.
I hear it will be two years for the next season. I predict a short series in the interim, “The Celeborn Identity,” about an amnesiac elf lord’s struggles to reunite with his wife and daughter after swimming to Middle Earth after being stranded on Himring after the War of Wrath.
*"Hey Elendil, I'm going to the Walgreens do you want anything?"* _"When my wife died... my tears flowed like the falls of Rauros. I swore to the moon and stars I would protect our __-sons-__ son & daughter Isildur and Bigboobs with my life, now Isildur is gone and-"_ *"I'm back."*
Yeah this episode was a mess... I was a particular fan of Galadriel doing a background check, after you installed Halbrand as King. That's totally not something you would do before, certainly when the person involved (Halbrand) is unknown... An other highlight were the 3 baddies searching for Sauron just assuming the first magical being they find, is Sauron. While they knew very well that there was another magical being, an Istar out there... I have a feeling doing some basic background checks is really an issue in Middle Earth ! Btw this was a great final episode from you, thank you for the entertainment this past weeks ! You've earned some rest !
On the other hand, she made him king of one village with maybe 25 dirty villagers, it's not a big deal. What's even stranger is that there ever was a king and they kept records. "Dirty Village doesn't have a king! Dirty Village doesn't need a king!" They don't even have something like a Mayor or Elder after a 1000 years without a king, so the healer has to take charge when there is a threat to the dirty village. Probably because she is the only one who knows the secret of soap.
She installed him as King of the entire Southlands by getting a hand full of villagers to shout "Hail the king!" Those three witches (or whatever) "He's not the messiah, now fk off!!" How could they not have any idea of who he was? But still they decide to track him down on a hunch of... "He do magic thingy, he Sauron! He our master."
I must say that you have a fairly rare humor that feels like a fresh breeze fresh in the RUclips swamp. I found myself chuckling many times. I also wish someone had presented Amazon with the plot like this. That way maybe they would have said… uhm… no. Keep up the good work!
@@doriangray6985 I read somewhere they did not have the rights to use the name Annatar, don't know if that's true or not, but Sauron did use many names and disguises, so i can forgive the Halbrand, but i can not forgive anything they let him do or say in this show.
" ...that dude with the Northern accent might not actually be the King of the Southlands after all." How I shall miss those videos - the best reason to look forward to Season Two is the hope that there may be more of them. 😊
7:40 Sadoc: "I've seen things you Harfoots wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the sh..." Galadriel: "You have not seen. What I have seen." Everyone else: "wat?"
Miriel: What do you see, Elendil? Elendil: Yes Miriel: See what? Elendil: Yes, a lot of it Miriel: What do your eyes see, man? Elendil: Sea Miriel: See right now? Elendil: Yes, right now. Sea all around Miriel: See all around? Tell me! Elendil: Yes, sea all around. We're on a ship after all. Miriel: I think I know why your wife drowned.
Just came here to thank you for humoring us through this perilous journey Liene. Never thought I would say this but I am a little bit excited for season 2 now
Was waiting on this for days. I love how sarcastically you shred this .... epic epic and groundbreaking show. 😂😂 I loved that in the end Galadriel is the one to blame for everything bad that happened in the 2nd age. She saved Sauron, directly set him on his path that he was not certain he would have taken, brought him to Numenor so he could continue corrupting it, made him king of the Southlands, brought him just in time to create Mordor, brought him to create the rings in Eregion and corrupt the elves. But after being duped so much, our brightest and smartest girl was so smart and bright, channeling her inner detective, she conveniently found the scroll that has all the answers. And ofc she is the only one who figures out its Sauron. And he is in love with her. And its she who suggests it should be three rings in the end. Confirming once and for all that she is, in fact, the Marry Sue of this fanfic.
Can I ❤this video? And can I just say I laughed out loud multiple times as you went through it all! Thank you for giving this show the clarity it needed
Like all Dark Lords, this show will one day return. However, we must not fall to despair but instead remain hopeful that it will return to the shadow from whence it came.
I liked the symbolism of how ermm.. hydrated Galadriel was in the moment. Elrond didn’t need to make the crass comment about her being “wet as a river rock”.
Yeah I've watched the extended editions of LOTR and The Hobbit idk how many times, listen to the soundtrack. I highly doubt many people will sit down to watch this ever again. I know I won't.
@@kents.2866 RoP is the Bollywood parody version of the Jackson movies. I don't think anyone can rewatch the show unless it's literally their job to do so.
Still watching these, they are perfect. My favorite things ever! Please consider doing the first and second episodes as well. Love the arrested development throwbacks! It is almost worth it to me, Amazon totally f-ing up their Tolkien adaptation, just to get these clever little comedic gems!
I don’t think anybody will be surprised to find out that Celeborn was the anonymous supergoodness elf that battled the balrog at the mithrilmaking with lightning mad science contest. But did you know that as a side effect they were both trapped down there, wrestling for control of their shared body? So Galadriels next quest will be to metal gear solid sneak into Moria, rescue her husband Celebrog and teach him to control his super powered evil side!
The super smiling face beside “it’s over” guess it tells it all At this point I have heard them all, but your review was one of the most entertaining out there lol
This was one of the best ROP-finale reviews: short and quick witted. Most other channels have 2-hr reviews and, while interesting to go frame by frame, sometimes you just want a quick rundown on the ridiculousness that was ROP. Glad the nightmare is over!
We have to give the credits to RoP, for giving to this world, some of the best talents. I mean the level of youtubers that mock this show, is incredibly high.
Thanks Liene! I am afraid the rings of prime failed desecration attempt is so bad that too many people are watching just to rubberneck the crash. So, I am going to totally ignore from now on anything having to do with ROP. But finding your channel is a wonderful silver lining to the cloud that is Amazon's dunderhead hack job.
I’ve never seen your content before but this was a great video, funny, entertaining, and pretty unique. Kept my attention and had me laughing. Keep it up, your pretty good at this, I have a feeling your channel is going to grow pretty quickly.
Many years when I was in about 2nd grade as an English literature assignment we were allowed to go and pick any book we wanted to read and write a summary of. I remember picking a book that had sort of various cartoon characters on the cover one was a Wizard, and another a Demon. It turned out to be fantasy satire about a Wizard that summoned a Demon Lord by accident that then cursed him to sneeze everything he tried to cast a spell so the spell always went wrong and he went on a quest to find a cure. I feel this is the story Amazon should have adapted. I must have enjoyed reading it as I got my highest mark in English Lit for that assignment.
My totally reasonable prediction: They fire the showrunners, cast, and script writers, and issues a heartfelt apology for all the damage they have casued us,. They rehire Tom Shippey, who calls Peter Jackson and brings him in. S2E01 begins with Treebeard waking up screaming, 'GALADRIEL IS A BYYYACH!!' - quickly realizes it was all a very, very bad dream. and promptly goes back to sleep right next to his entwife - and now the real series begins.
Sadic corpse is let to rot in the forest, no funeral, as harfoot tradition requires. They can't deal with waiting or carrying a fellow harfoot with a twisted ankle let alone with an inanimate dead harfoot body. He will have a nice line in the books of abandoned harfoots. "He was a moron but we liked him"
The only surprising thing about this episode was that Poppy didn't watch Nori walking away for a sec and then yell "of course you are, and I'm coming with you!!!"
We spent twice as long on teary Harfoots as we did on forging the Rings of Power. I guess the Nine and the Seven were forged off screen, they can't be that important then.

I feel you. Before ROP started, I was so hyped I got myself a new edition (I only had a used copy of a rather badly translated version). So glad I got it. Gonna watch the movies too :)
@@ZeeZour It's been years since I've seen the films. I watched a few scenes from the Fellowship and man! - they make this show look like a primary school play. Even the trailer amazed and moved me more than the best of the Rings of Power. That's the value of great art, I suppose - every pale imitation that is made does not tarnish it in any way, but makes it appear more essential and profound than ever.

Thank you so much for this video. After the eight hour hell that was watching the series, and the constant vitriol being spewed online, it was refreshing to watch you (rightly) tear this to shreds in such a comedic fashion. I watched the entire series you did on this show, and I needed this light-hearted take. It's helped my own attitude on how I perceive it. I am now so inclined to join your Patreon. :)
Hilarious video series. Kudos! 🤣For this specific video, it sounds like you're calling Celebrimbor "Clevermore" which I feel like it's your subconscious mind giving him an ironic nickname for the master smith who has never thought to mix ores together. Such a clever elf!
Your reviews have been between the most entertaining outcomes of the Rings of Power "show". You are funny, sarcastic, sweet, very classy! Can't wait to get more RoP reviews in two years!
Imagine walking into a Stephen Hawking lecture, where he presents an impossible mathematic problem, and you are like: Yo, did you try some addition and subtraction and shit? And Hawking's mind is blown... this is what Halbrand did essentially...

Well, with inflation, a billion dollars just doesn't go as far as it used to.
Dont forget that the opening eps were all about getting Elrond to get the dwarves to help build a giant forge that would burn hotter than a dragon's fire, which was half built in days, and then was promptly forgotten about and good ol Celebrimbor just used his regular old forge instead.
In the next season, Galadriel is going to find bodies with a different mark on them, which will say "S. Auron".
Who could it be? And why is Halbrand always suspiciously close to those bodies?
Probably because he's still in love with Galadriel and no other reason.
I've no idea why he went with the name Halbrand in the first place, when A. Nony Mouse or E. Nygma were a perfectly serviceable option
He's pining away for her. Remembering her golden hair on the raft and her waifu...
Her mysterious new asian girlfriend will explain it in episode 8
Wait, Gandalf shouted "I'm good" at the witch ladies and they exploded... into moths.
Gandalf used a moth to call the eagles in the Fellowship of the Ring...
Did Gandalf just curse those three witches to be his eternal moth slaves?
Definitely. He knew he needed moth slaves
😆
that's too clever for the writers of this show
The King died due to a sudden blood preassure increase... when he saw Isildur's sister's ridiculously big knockers
He's so old, he probably still uses terms like "gazongas".
@@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t its bazongas
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed
@@TedBackus Get with the times, granddad. It's not the 1890's anymore.
After all, we know that in this world men and woman have a lot of blood compared to Elves. High pressure is probably a common problem.
The fact that your rendition is 10x better than the actual episode is scary. 😅😅😅💀
It's important to realize that for Harfeet, their hearts are bigger than their feet, but also somehow their hearts are in their feet, so Lenny stabbing the foot of one of the rockstars makes sense. He thought it'd be a killing blow.
lol im dying xdd
i wonder whether they can dip one foot in the sea without having a heart attack. Of course, if one did that, they'd find out that the hair is actually pine needles glued on by years of gunk.
Is it "harfeet" or "hardfeet"?
"Mithril makes the oven go boom" I'm dead.
they're forging dynamite
It's so cute how Galadriel fell for that line "stronger than the foundations of the Earth" that she still remembers it when Frodo comes to look at the water mirror thousands of years later.
I love these videos. You have a great sense of humor! ❤️
The part about 'Elves not having much blood so they die - immediately' was hilarious.
When you finish reading a great book or watching a great show or finish a great movie or a video game there is this sadness because it's over...for this it was completely opposite, I was so happy at the end!
Sadness we’re going to miss these reviews for a bit though!
Gonna miss your RoP vids for sure. They are so much more entertaining than the actual million dollar show.
Billion dollar show.
If only it was only a million
I've actually recommended this to friends in lieu of watching the actual RoP. :D
Galadriel - You are the rightful king
Also Galadriel - You are evil for wanting to rule
I liked the scene where Galadriel after a laser sword battle inside mount Doom says to Sauron - You were my brother Anakin, I loved you...! No wait maybe it's another movie
Unfortunately for her, she'll never have the highground, considering how short she is in this show
Dumb comment lmao
The only thing that I will miss with this show is reviews like yours!
At the end of the episode. If Galadriel never left Valinor, Halbrand/Sauron would have been contended on a floating raft.
She convinced Sauron to take the Southlands. She convinced the Numenurians to help Sauron take the Southlands. And when Sauron decided to take it all she disagreed. She seemed like a confused person like Leonardo DiCaprio in Shutter Island.p
"Miriel is training for her new life as Daredevil" LOL 🤣
Well, according to the showrunners Sauron storyline for the next season is going to be reminiscing of those of Walter White or Tony Soprano, so I guess that instead of forging the one ring he´ll be cooking meth in mount doom whilst being the head of the new orc mafia. WTF is wrong with these people and more importantly, will Adar play Jesse then?
To be fair, these are the same writers who decided that Numenoreans don't like elves cause they take their jobs. Elves. Who have essentially zero children and do not live on Numenor.
"Adar! We have to cook!"
"Fuck, Dr. Saurenberg.. Im still hung over.."
@@EinFelsbrocken 🤣🤣🤣
"You just nevah see guys like Galadriel Cooper any moah.... you know, the strong, silent genocidal type..."
I hear it will be two years for the next season. I predict a short series in the interim, “The Celeborn Identity,” about an amnesiac elf lord’s struggles to reunite with his wife and daughter after swimming to Middle Earth after being stranded on Himring after the War of Wrath.
Probably grabbed the daughter and faked their deaths trying to get away from this GuyLadriel.
You know I didn’t know the lifetime of an elf till I started watching this show thanks Amazon for making feel like an elf now
*"Hey Elendil, I'm going to the Walgreens do you want anything?"*
_"When my wife died... my tears flowed like the falls of Rauros. I swore to the moon and stars I would protect our __-sons-__ son & daughter Isildur and Bigboobs with my life, now Isildur is gone and-"_
*"I'm back."*
Yeah this episode was a mess... I was a particular fan of Galadriel doing a background check, after you installed Halbrand as King. That's totally not something you would do before, certainly when the person involved (Halbrand) is unknown... An other highlight were the 3 baddies searching for Sauron just assuming the first magical being they find, is Sauron. While they knew very well that there was another magical being, an Istar out there... I have a feeling doing some basic background checks is really an issue in Middle Earth !
Btw this was a great final episode from you, thank you for the entertainment this past weeks ! You've earned some rest !
On the other hand, she made him king of one village with maybe 25 dirty villagers, it's not a big deal. What's even stranger is that there ever was a king and they kept records.
"Dirty Village doesn't have a king! Dirty Village doesn't need a king!"
They don't even have something like a Mayor or Elder after a 1000 years without a king, so the healer has to take charge when there is a threat to the dirty village. Probably because she is the only one who knows the secret of soap.
She installed him as King of the entire Southlands by getting a hand full of villagers to shout "Hail the king!"
Those three witches (or whatever) "He's not the messiah, now fk off!!"
How could they not have any idea of who he was? But still they decide to track him down on a hunch of... "He do magic thingy, he Sauron! He our master."
They could've got the rings of power out of a vending machine this whole time! Oh boy, what a plot twist!
I must say that you have a fairly rare humor that feels like a fresh breeze fresh in the RUclips swamp. I found myself chuckling many times. I also wish someone had presented Amazon with the plot like this. That way maybe they would have said… uhm… no. Keep up the good work!
Well this show feels written episode by episode.
Halbrand's coming out as Sauron was stunning and brave!
Seriously! Never saw it coming! LOLz
I knew that he was latent sauron right from episode 1, but did not expect him to come out this season.
Who is Halbrand? You mean the guy commonly known as "Not-Sauron"?
Sauron was NEVER called Halbrand it is just another example of the rings of power bastardising Tolkien's writings. He was however called Annatar
@@doriangray6985 I read somewhere they did not have the rights to use the name Annatar, don't know if that's true or not, but Sauron did use many names and disguises, so i can forgive the Halbrand, but i can not forgive anything they let him do or say in this show.
" ...that dude with the Northern accent might not actually be the King of the Southlands after all." How I shall miss those videos - the best reason to look forward to Season Two is the hope that there may be more of them. 😊
7:40 Sadoc: "I've seen things you Harfoots wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the sh..."
Galadriel: "You have not seen. What I have seen."
Everyone else: "wat?"
**Happy Rutger Hauer noises**
when Halbrand said "call it... a gift" I clapped so hard I almost broke my tv
Lol , you’re hilarious. I Was more entertained watching this review than the entire ROP season
Miriel: Elendil, what do you see?
Elendil:
Miriel: I'm blind, tell me what you see!
Elendil:
This show is the king of non-answers.
Galadriel and Elrond meet up in Eregion-
Elrond (surprised) : Why are _you_ here?!
Galadriel: Why are you here?
Give him some credit, he hasn't seen what she has, uh, seen... that'll be $50m please.
Miriel: What do you see, Elendil?
Elendil: Yes
Miriel: See what?
Elendil: Yes, a lot of it
Miriel: What do your eyes see, man?
Elendil: Sea
Miriel: See right now?
Elendil: Yes, right now. Sea all around
Miriel: See all around? Tell me!
Elendil: Yes, sea all around. We're on a ship after all.
Miriel: I think I know why your wife drowned.
Just came here to thank you for humoring us through this perilous journey Liene. Never thought I would say this but I am a little bit excited for season 2 now
Was waiting on this for days. I love how sarcastically you shred this .... epic epic and groundbreaking show. 😂😂
I loved that in the end Galadriel is the one to blame for everything bad that happened in the 2nd age. She saved Sauron, directly set him on his path that he was not certain he would have taken, brought him to Numenor so he could continue corrupting it, made him king of the Southlands, brought him just in time to create Mordor, brought him to create the rings in Eregion and corrupt the elves. But after being duped so much, our brightest and smartest girl was so smart and bright, channeling her inner detective, she conveniently found the scroll that has all the answers. And ofc she is the only one who figures out its Sauron. And he is in love with her. And its she who suggests it should be three rings in the end.
Confirming once and for all that she is, in fact, the Marry Sue of this fanfic.
Sauron is basically MGTOW that rose pilled himself and when rejected became black pilled - plot of season 1.
Can I ❤this video? And can I just say I laughed out loud multiple times as you went through it all! Thank you for giving this show the clarity it needed
"I'm good." ...wow... sends chills down my spine, so profound.
Like all Dark Lords, this show will one day return. However, we must not fall to despair but instead remain hopeful that it will return to the shadow from whence it came.
Thanks! I really enjoyed watching your videos on TROP. You even pointed out some jokes I missed! Thanks again!
I liked the symbolism of how ermm.. hydrated Galadriel was in the moment. Elrond didn’t need to make the crass comment about her being “wet as a river rock”.
This show have so many logical contradiction, it turned my brain into a pretzel.
The 3 Elven Rings look like the cheap gaudy rings that big-hair grandmothers wear who also have Velvet Elvis paintings on the walls of their trailers
Rings of Power is a show that I will remember for a long time, why? Because it left a scar in my brain.
That's a cool villain origin story right there
Yeah I've watched the extended editions of LOTR and The Hobbit idk how many times, listen to the soundtrack. I highly doubt many people will sit down to watch this ever again. I know I won't.
@@kents.2866 RoP is the Bollywood parody version of the Jackson movies. I don't think anyone can rewatch the show unless it's literally their job to do so.
Elves - We will use this small nugget to craft three rings to save our entire race from tree goo
Dwarves - Sparkly shirt for a hobbit
priorities
These episode summaries have been absolutely hilarious! I didnt even watch the show and I feel like I got a better experience just by watching these.
Still watching these, they are perfect. My favorite things ever! Please consider doing the first and second episodes as well. Love the arrested development throwbacks! It is almost worth it to me, Amazon totally f-ing up their Tolkien adaptation, just to get these clever little comedic gems!
Well Done! Thanks for being me some joy!
I don’t think anybody will be surprised to find out that Celeborn was the anonymous supergoodness elf that battled the balrog at the mithrilmaking with lightning mad science contest. But did you know that as a side effect they were both trapped down there, wrestling for control of their shared body? So Galadriels next quest will be to metal gear solid sneak into Moria, rescue her husband Celebrog and teach him to control his super powered evil side!
The super smiling face beside “it’s over” guess it tells it all
At this point I have heard them all, but your review was one of the most entertaining out there lol
This was one of the best ROP-finale reviews: short and quick witted. Most other channels have 2-hr reviews and, while interesting to go frame by frame, sometimes you just want a quick rundown on the ridiculousness that was ROP. Glad the nightmare is over!
Halbrand: I know you've been trying to kill me, but and I mean this respectfully, will you marry me?
I will always appreciate Rings of Power for bringing me to this channel.
Love it: "while they were gone the rest of the Numenorean ships turned pirate". Nearly bust a gut at that!
We have to give the credits to RoP, for giving to this world, some of the best talents. I mean the level of youtubers that mock this show, is incredibly high.
The algorithm blessed me today by recommending your channel.
You and your videos are delightful to watch.
Oh girl, I am going to miss these epic reviews. Really good laughs all around. Thank you.
I found similar rings into damn easter chocolate eggs.
I love your outro music.
Edit: I should specify that I am referring to the "funny comments" outro and not the smooth jazz of easy-listening.
My s2 prediction: You will provide much entertainment and joy to salve our LOTR pain.
Your sarcasm and dry humor is hilarious. 🤣
“Should we use some makeup to make Miriels eyes look injured when she doesn’t have the mask?”
“Naa it’s episode 8. The seasons almost over.”
Thanks Liene! I am afraid the rings of prime failed desecration attempt is so bad that too many people are watching just to rubberneck the crash. So, I am going to totally ignore from now on anything having to do with ROP. But finding your channel is a wonderful silver lining to the cloud that is Amazon's dunderhead hack job.
I just found your channel today! You’re great.
“Either get busy swimming, or get busy dying.”
I’ve never seen your content before but this was a great video, funny, entertaining, and pretty unique. Kept my attention and had me laughing. Keep it up, your pretty good at this, I have a feeling your channel is going to grow pretty quickly.
Many years when I was in about 2nd grade as an English literature assignment we were allowed to go and pick any book we wanted to read and write a summary of. I remember picking a book that had sort of various cartoon characters on the cover one was a Wizard, and another a Demon. It turned out to be fantasy satire about a Wizard that summoned a Demon Lord by accident that then cursed him to sneeze everything he tried to cast a spell so the spell always went wrong and he went on a quest to find a cure. I feel this is the story Amazon should have adapted. I must have enjoyed reading it as I got my highest mark in English Lit for that assignment.
My totally reasonable prediction: They fire the showrunners, cast, and script writers, and issues a heartfelt apology for all the damage they have casued us,. They rehire Tom Shippey, who calls Peter Jackson and brings him in. S2E01 begins with Treebeard waking up screaming, 'GALADRIEL IS A BYYYACH!!' - quickly realizes it was all a very, very bad dream. and promptly goes back to sleep right next to his entwife - and now the real series begins.
Sadic corpse is let to rot in the forest, no funeral, as harfoot tradition requires.
They can't deal with waiting or carrying a fellow harfoot with a twisted ankle let alone with an inanimate dead harfoot body.
He will have a nice line in the books of abandoned harfoots. "He was a moron but we liked him"
Your reviews are always spot on! Love that sweater!
Your reviews are a joy.
The only surprising thing about this episode was that Poppy didn't watch Nori walking away for a sec and then yell "of course you are, and I'm coming with you!!!"
We spent twice as long on teary Harfoots as we did on forging the Rings of Power. I guess the Nine and the Seven were forged off screen, they can't be that important then.
Hands down best ROP reviews, the only reason I would want them to make a season 2 is for your reviews lol Jack in the north pole lol
Hope you can wait 3 years so they can turn Sauron into Walter white from breaking bad.
That's exactly what they said
@@josephbassey1501 He's got the worst type of cancer: the type where you cough a lot when it's convenient to the scene, and that eventually turns you into nothing more than a giant eyeball on top of a tower.
I'm sad the season is over, loved watching your reviews. I'm dying to see your reviews for the next season :)
Wow I have watched a bunch of reviews for this episode over the last couple days and only yours made me laugh thank you!! Now I got to watch all the other reviews lol
The best thing about this series is that it's really made me want to watch Jackson's LOTR trilogy and read the books again.
I feel you. Before ROP started, I was so hyped I got myself a new edition (I only had a used copy of a rather badly translated version). So glad I got it. Gonna watch the movies too :)
@@ZeeZour It's been years since I've seen the films. I watched a few scenes from the Fellowship and man! - they make this show look like a primary school play. Even the trailer amazed and moved me more than the best of the Rings of Power. That's the value of great art, I suppose - every pale imitation that is made does not tarnish it in any way, but makes it appear more essential and profound than ever.
Thank you Liene, I will miss these weekly pieces of gold that your videos on Rings were :)
i love your opinions so much.
You actually have valid points about everything.
thanks for watching it so we dont have to
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for this, I laughed out loud😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Yippy, goodbye you suckers," etc.: I love your hilarious, hip retellings. Thanks so much for the laughs.
I’m going to require my wife to watch every one of these reviews and take notes so she can perfectly mimic this sense of humor
My favorite part was Gandalf unable to speak to being an eloquent word smith in a snap....
I'm not 100% sure 'eloquent wordsmith' is the correct term for, "Herp Derp, I'm GOOD!" But yes, I agree with you. His magical plot dependent language learning abilities are amazing.
He's essentially a magic dog that Nori wants to keep for 6 episodes.
Thank you so much for this video. After the eight hour hell that was watching the series, and the constant vitriol being spewed online, it was refreshing to watch you (rightly) tear this to shreds in such a comedic fashion. I watched the entire series you did on this show, and I needed this light-hearted take. It's helped my own attitude on how I perceive it. I am now so inclined to join your Patreon. :)
Hilarious video series. Kudos! 🤣For this specific video, it sounds like you're calling Celebrimbor "Clevermore" which I feel like it's your subconscious mind giving him an ironic nickname for the master smith who has never thought to mix ores together. Such a clever elf!
The rot on the tree signifies the elves' eroding intelligence.
Thank you.
"get busy swimmin or get busy dying"
Thank you for this
Thanks for the laughs, Liene!
Your reviews have been between the most entertaining outcomes of the Rings of Power "show". You are funny, sarcastic, sweet, very classy! Can't wait to get more RoP reviews in two years!
Did Not-Galadriel just searched hundreds of years for Sauron to get revenge and upon finding him, let him go on his merry way?
Right?? What happened to her quest? So many questions.
Lol, I know. What the hell?!
She just remembered there are four more seasons
