I love how in Rings Of Power there is absolutely no explanation for why things happen. And it’s because there is no story but a series of scenes with no connection to each other. Why is this person trapped in a tree? No answer. How did Galadriel find Halbrand in the vastness of the Great Sea? No answer. How did Elrond survive his jump into the waterfall? No answer. How could mere Orcs murder a Maiar as powerful as Sauron, a lieutenant of Morgoth who bested both Gil-galad & Elendil in single combat? I think you get the picture.
Criticizing how Elrond survives a waterfall jump in rings of power is fair, but expecting every detail to be explained is a bit much. Legolas in The Lord of the Rings does some pretty crazy stuff too, like sliding down stairs on a shield, surviving massive falls from wargs with zero injuries, and leaping from one Oliphaunt to another. These feats are just as, if not more, unbelievable, yet we don't get detailed explanations for them either....
FFS, Tom Bombadil was a spiritual entity borne of the ancient, deepest, greenest Old Forest … not rocky arid hills and semi-desert regions. Even the sets and locations on this piece of shit are mind-numbingly stupid. 😑
I just stumbled upon this clip, haven't watched the entire series and this what I thought immediately. Tom Bombadil in a dry arid location? What the fuck is this show man
I'm gonna guess you didn't watch the show, because Tom explains that the area he lives in USED to be green and a literal forest. He explains that Middle-Earth has changed much since he's been there and that he's seen the first raindrop on Middle-Earth and more. Tom is who knows how old and does who knows what. His origins are mysterious and not fully explained. You seriously just expected him to be in one area for his entire life?
@@Daniël-j7p6v Well if you watched the series then you'd know that he explains that the area he's in used to be green and lush and that the land has changed since he arrived. He's been there for countless millions (perhaps even billions) of years. You just expect him to be in the same spot in Middle-Earth for his entire life?
In the alternate unverse of Amazon's LOTR the screen writers who obviously only read the Cliff Notes version of Tolkien place Tom Bombadil in a desert climate somewhere in the Middle East? Say what?
Damn, can’t believe they killed him like that. Well, at least we know he wasn’t Gandalf. Now we just need to wait for the third age for him to sail in and get his ring of fire!
Funny, you just watched a man get swallowed up by a tree, but your great "realism"-problem is "I have never seen a tree looking like that in a place like that"? I know people don't like this show, but seriously, at least a bit harder with your "complaints".
This is a scene from episode 4 of season 2 of "Rings of Power", which you can watch on Amazon Prime from today. I was very excited about Tom Bombadil, because I always thought it was a shame that the Lord of the Rings films did not feature Tom Bombadil. And now the scriptwriters can't think of anything better than to move the scene from book 1, in which Pippin and Merry clash with the "evil" willow tree, forward a few thousand years and re-enact it with this Gandalf wannabe. And then Tom Bombadil comes along and sings practically the same song as in the book and pulls out the trapped wizard-in-training. The difference is that in Pippin and Merry's case it was a willow tree. And Tom, who is in a relationship with a beautiful river nymph named Goldberry and lives in a water-rich forest area, is stuck on a dried-out mountain plateau with the "evil" tree, which he calls the "hardwood tree" here. We must conclude from this, that he later dug it up and took it to his new area - for whatever reason.
Ok guys lets just calm down... I don't mind this tOm bombadill, would tolkien have loved him? No... Tolkien didn't even like shakespeare The one who points out my grammar mistakes first will earn a "like" from me😀
I try to like this show, but I honestly just can't due to how inaccurate it is to the lore. If the show runners want to promote their rainbow f@scist agenda, then they should just make their own story lore from scratch.
I will never forget how haunting was Tom and his forest in the book, so incredibly shrouded by mistery all over. Thats why this scene (and show) is utterly crappy. May this blasphemy end soon.
Galadriel, heavily miscast, Isildur, heavily miscast, the elves are filled with diversity DEI castings, the visuals are somewhat eye numbing for being so overdone, and the writing is just a complete mess and middle finger to Tolkien. I’ll be shocked if this lasts another season. Bland and disgraceful to Tolkien.
@@mongrel.strassenhund it makes absolutely no sense for all groups of people, from a hobbit village to numenor to elf kingdoms, to look like a real-life, 21st century, cosmopolitan city. How could this possibly happen within the world? It's completely jarring.
@@WeLoveGameMusic Actually it makes any sense little humans have hairy feet and long ears in a world that "darkness" can make creatures twisted by tortured into evil beings... but you buy it.

bro the wizard just fell from the sky, he couldnt even speak at first, but he is learning quickly, i think he is a blue wizard, not gandalf, anyways....still we saw nothing
@@juanestebancarrenomichaud3277 I have only seen the movies and the show, and I dont even remember the movies very well, lets say I'm not a hard core fan, I just like the fantasy, I'm just watching the show, and the shows shows a guy who fell from somewhere and he knows nothing not even about himself so he doesnt even he is wise yet, thats what I thought, and Ive seen somehwere that blue wizard came first, so i guess he is one of them, sorry for being a noob bro

Who knew Tom Bombadil was Gandalfs jedi Master.
Nobody because he wasn't in any place but here.
We need frodo and Sam to take this show to mordor and cast it into the fire.
😅
Frodo halfway in: "the show is mine".
@@timesupea this show is not as tempting as Saurons ring. Frodo is safe then.
@@DRoyce227 Yawn
🤣
Welp he just got Bloodraven’d
The dialogue is so all over.
You ought not mess with Old Man Willow.
Ah, he's finally here.
So this is where the stranger will learn more about who he is and what he is supposed to do with his powers.
Trapped in the tree very classic for classical magicians scenario 😂
I guest this is tom bombardil with gandalf
Geez what are the chances that this would happen to not-gandalf and then Frodo and friends 3000 years later? 😮
LOL
Jack Black as Tom Bombadil.
this is not how I imagined Tom to be ut least they made him sing his song.

Is there a special way to watch it

@parzivalx01 yes bc he was. It's made very plain in the books.
Tom isn''t dressed right.
No magic there

Ridiculous.
No. No. No.
If this is young Gandalf why is running like Joe Biden walks Ian’s version could actually jog from the balrog
I'm loving season 2 and loved season 1.
God this series went so far away from the books. Please take Tolkien out of it

If you have a mess whit diversity, your issue is not the lore of RoP your issue is racism.

Only unloved people complaining about a simple scene, detail: they didn't see the series
The showrunners were so creative that they reinvented the same thing that Tolkien wrote, but changwd the characters and the scenery.

That cannot be tom bom badil. That's not the way how he was dressed. Gandalf doesn't seem to be wise. ..woke of powers changing everything
well, maybe he needed some millenia to become wise. So did Galadriel, as we learned in season one.
All of these characters you mentioned are thousands of years younger in this version……
