They actually did NOT allow Sauron (LOL) to fully rescue Galadriel. If you look closely, she's unconscious when he cuts her loose underwater, but when they hit the surface, they are separate and she is perfectly conscious so she can swim back to the raft without his help. I believe they did not want to show her being "dragged" out of the water and revived by a man.
Anyone else notice that?
Yeah ..Hollywood is f*ked up
@@namethechannel jump cuts are used to cover up bad choreography.
@@rayvg7709 Bingo!
Going to check it out again! Thank you my friend. Hope you have a good day and a great week! Cheers!!
@@GeorgeTheGiantSlayer You have a good rest of your weekend, too, George. Yep, I just watched it again just to make sure, and that's what happens. I was like, "Wait, wasn't she just knocked out? Did she revive herself on the way up?"
Great question, George: who is this aimed at? To say it's a dog's breakfast would be an insult to dogs' breakfasts. It breaks my heart when I think of how meticulously Professor Tolkien linked the era-spanning elements of his legendarium.
As The Critical Thinker said, they're making shows for an audience that exists in their imagination only but at the same time, they're doing as Tolkien named "the jailors" (look for that reference) and getting the biggest tax cut in history.
They are making the show for the people that give them their E.S.G. ratings
Lol
A dog would be most offended 😂
It doesn't have anything to do with Tolkien, any more than the last vomitous Star Trek fan fiction (or grisly Bad Reboot productions) has anything to do with Star Trek. It just doesn't. It's abysmal trash that means nothing.
@@johnstrawb3521 Indeed!
This show is missing one vital component, which could have made it a success.
Tolkien
They had the next best thing 'Jackson' but they basically told him to f*** off, at every turn they've deliberately went out of their way to ruin this franchise as much as possible
The part where Gayladriel says " All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die." ..sent chills down my spine and i cried and cried ..for DAYS !
I missed it, I was too busy having convulsions on the floor and releasing stool from the part where Galadriel had lost her modern day jet and she found a perfectly preserved old F-14 Tomcat, took off with almost zero runway and showed those other pilots what real piloting is all about!
Martin you are killing me with that. I spilled my drink! Thank you. Have a phenomenal weekend! Cheers!!
@@GeorgeTheGiantSlayer Im truly sry my man. Lets hope the drink is ok. ;-) I could not help my self 😂 Have a nice day
This series is empty. And I'm not talking about bad acting, over-CGI photography, generic dialogue, or generic soundtrack. I'm talking about not having that epic aspect, that timeless mythology theme.
They may say: "But there's not enough written material"
And I say: "Yes, there is! They are in the myths and archetypes for the construction of characters, concepts, events".
I thought Sauron would be a (pseudo) Promethean figure generating religious engineering in Middle-earth.
I thought they were going to show Harad and Rhûn inspired (as Tolkien said in 1966) in Africa (Ethiopia + Saracens) and Asia (Middle East, China, Japan, etc)
That Galadriel was going to develop into the Philosopher Queen archetype to ideologically oppose Annatar's ideas.
That Númenor was going to be a discussion about death vs. human nature.
Gayladrield triumphantly declaring "Avengers. Assemble" literally sent chills down my spine.
Excellent work again, George! The best thing about ROP? All the great videos mocking it and explaining why it's so awful and a disgrace to Tolkien.
I only just realized that even this "talking through a square doorhole"-scene was ripped from the last Hobbit movie, when it was Thorin and Bard. So it's both botched and stolen. Props to George for great editing. Also, I seriously thought that when he was describing a spoiled grandson wanting to outshine his grandfather by building a giant something, it was S. Tolkien. How coincidental.
Great catch Wouter! Wishing you a magnificent weekend my friend! Cheers!
It’s actually stolen from Return of the Jedi.
Everything is stolen, it is bad reboot’s signature move. EG; Raistlin Majere/Bipu Gully Dwsrf DragonLance =Gandalf not Gandalf and Nori. Don Lemonalas Elf I will cut down the tree=Frodo I will take the Ring Guyladriel climbing ice wall=Jon Snow and others climbing the ice wall The bullying of Guyladriel =the bullying of Spock. Harfoots=Hobbits =Gully Dwarfs. Guyladriel is never wrong=Prey’s main character
I'm not watching this tripe but I don't mind checking out your review
Me to
The most expensive TV-show in history somehow became the cheapest TV-show in history in every possible way apart from the look of the world.
They made a super cool looking box and put a large turd inside of it.
lol. keep lying to youself. 1 minute of that show is better than anything you will create in your entire life.
@@jdogsful Enjoying Amazon's money?
@@Karatekjell lol. you people really are delusional.
@@jdogsful if you think this series is at all to do with Tolkiens works. His themes. His prose. His anything. You’re the delusional one. Amazon just wants you to drool on yourself as you consume product then get excited about next new product
@@Makkaru112 fuck tolkien. Ive never read the books, i think the movies are full of flaws and this show is still good as its own product.
Theres is nothing better on tv right now. HOD is dogshit. Face reality.
Amazon told me I had to pay them money to leave a review of their Ring of Suck. So since Amazon wouldn’t let me point out the blatant racism in Rings of Power in their reviews, I pointed it out to the Canadian Broadcasting Standards Council instead. Then I cancelled Prime and sent an email asking for money back because of Rings of Power.
I know Scamazon won’t return the money for Prime. Doesn’t mean I’m not going to make sure my displeasure is heard by them.
The bit where Galadriel addresses the United Nations and say`s “You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!” was for me the best part,, and faithful to J.R.R.Tolkien`s works. 😅🤣😂😡🤬
Actually, Greta Thunberg is correct. Guyladriel, on the other hand...
@@johnstrawb3521 Great is 100 % wrong, but s1mps need their gIRl bOsSeS. Maybe when she goes to China _ 1.5 Billion peolpe ), India ( 1 Billion people ), Indonesia ( 300 million people ), The Philippines, ( 300 million people ) and most of Africa ( 1 Billion people ) to whine about fake problems, Ill start believing her.
@@johnstrawb3521 I would not use the word correct when talking about Greta Thunberg. The word that comes to mind is... DRAMAQUEEN.
@@birddogne666 How is she not correct?
So stunning. So brave.
My biggest issue with the Elrond and Durin friendship (besides that it detracts from Celebrimbor and Narvi) is how it happened in the first place. Lindon and Khazad-dum are a continent apart, so I just don't buy into this great relationship being built up in Durin's comparatively brief lifespan.
@@theblackflame4002 Even if they did have the rights to all of the lore, I think this show would still be awful. It would still be full of post-modern bullshit and, like you said, they would condense the timeline.
George: "You can't continue to suspend disbelief when you despise the character your watching"
My thoughts exactly. It's not even a love to hate situation.
I laughed out loud when the scene of galadriel clapping back at the queen landed her in jail. That was the only plausible reaction in this whole show. And her cell is next door to halbrands, this show is a sitcom.
Exactly! That’s why I keep calling it the Middle Earth Comedy hour. It is so horrendous more and more media are piling on. Hope this finds you well Asari! Have an amazing week!
@@GeorgeTheGiantSlayer cheers giant slayer :) :)
The writers of this dumpster fire have NO CLUE about the concept of, Show- Don't Tell. 🙏
First, I am impressed with your knowledge of the Tolkien Legendarium.
Second, this review was very entertaining. I enjoy how you add humor in the right places. I must say, though you didn't point out Galadriel's magic dagger. It appears whenever it's convenient to the plot.
Thanks for this review, George. I wish you and you family a fantastic week. 🙂
Elizabeth, you are a gem! Thank you so very much for your kind words. Thrilled you enjoy the videos. You make a great point about the dagger. Going to watch for that with more focus. Wishing you and yours a most blessed day and a phenomenal week!! Cheers!
Elrond: is anyone there?
Doorman: *NO* (slams the porthole shut)
I know a lot of people have been praising the visuals but I actually do not think they are that good, they do not form a coherent picture. They create great individual thumbnails but do not form a cohesive world. One minute I think I’m in a Monty Python film, anothet other minute it’s a cheap Game of Thrones rip off and the next moment it looks like a expensive commercial for nightgowns.
The world in this show is vast but not deep. It feels empty and hollow and it has nothing to draw me in and immerse me into the world.
The shows own internal mythology reads like a dollar store Cliff notes version of tokens rich anthology of myth. Everything is shrunken down to one person in one place and one time period. Which makes it even more puzzling about how confusing the presentation is.
They are adding these irrelevant tangents in order to make the story feel broad and give the illusion of complexity. But it’s just boring and meandering.
Calling this fanfiction is truly an insult to the tens of thousands of fans who wrote acceptable Tolkien fiction.
Yes, Giant Slayer!!! It's always such a pleasure to watch your channel. Step up, stand tall! Get busy living your best life NOW.
love you George 🤟🏾
Love you Elise! Thank you so very much for your generous spirit and kind words of support. It is the only way to live; to be your best for you and all around. To live life to its fullest. To live your best life! To find your path by listening to your heart. Wishing you an amazing week my friend! Always Forward!!!
Another mistake that is easy to miss: Guyladriel seems to sleep next to Not-Sauron. Eldar don't sleep, they meditate for a short while to gain the same effect.
This is far worse than expected! As one who will never watch that pile of garbage...I have to say- Thanks George for watching and reviewing this for us so we haven't to...even tough it will cost some years of your lifetime.
"Million dollar Hollywood homeless shelter" got me laughing right off the bat.
Thrilled you enjoyed the video my friend! Señor Spielbergo, I Hope you have a good evening and a great week!!!
You’re explanations of Tolkiens reasons for his mythology and lore. Truly unmatched.
Many thanks Alex for saying that. I am no expert but I deeply love the Legendarium. I will need many many more years to fully understand and know it. And every time I re-read the books I am just as excited as the very first time if not more. Thank you my friend for your kind words. Wishing you an incredible week! Always Forward!!
Galadriel has to speak to the manager in every scene.
She should spend her time with acting lessons or at least buying a new facial expression.
She’s not a Mary Sue because they are likable. This is TOXIC MARYSUINITY.
When I heard about ‘invoking the ritual of’ something, it went: oh, yeah, that Vulcan thing.
WB's depiction of Celibrimbor in the Shadow of Mordor games is far, far superior to whatever this crap is. He actually looks like an Elven lord and a badass in the game despite its problems.
Yes. And he looks like an elf lord revealed in wrath as described in the books they look like when their Fëa spirit is firing up.
Celebrimbor in Shadow of Mordor is how I imagine him in The Silmarilion.
the thing that amazes me most about this series so far is, i've seen every episode and can't remember anything other than the "epic moments of stupidity" from a terrible script
The sea is always right.
lol. Have you seen the films? They are exactly as lame as the tv shows.
@@jdogsful the fuck they are.. I remember everything about the movies. Gtfo
@@jdogsful what?
@@punkrocker6431 the films are exactly as stupid. whats everyone crying about?
The moment when Sauron faces off against Glad-real saying "You can't fight nature, girl!" was the best moment in entertainment history!
I was one of those Lord of the Rings fans that actually watched the movies (at least the first one) before reading the books. And you know what? I didn’t have to switch on the dial-up internet to research what was going on. The movie does a decent job of letting the audience know what’s going on without trying to tell the audience what’s going on.
George thank you so much for watching this swill so we don’t have to. Thanks for covering the lore as well.
I do have to disagree about boob armor unless I’m misunderstanding your issue with it. Mandolorian season 2 Episode 3 the Mary Sue and other Twitter weirdos were throwing absolute fits over Bo Katan and Koska Reeves having boob armor in their Mandolorian armor. They though it was sexist and objectifying women. Which as a woman, I thought they were absolutely ridiculous. If I’m wearing armor I want my boobs protected. I don’t want to have to bind them down or whatever to get them to fit under straight armor.
Is the issue in this context because the women dwarves wouldn’t be fighting much less wearing armor at all? If that’s so, yes I do see the problem with it. It does seem a bit exaggerated because it’s on a woman that’s very…endowed.
Hi Sassy, so great to see you again. You always leave such insightful and amazing comments. For the fighting I completely understand. Which makes absolute sense my friend. Absolutely agree! What struck me odd is that in Tolkien dwarven women were protected at all costs because there were so very, very few of them. They would never be fighting. They would be hidden in the mountains and protected. If I recall correctly dwarven women were only a third of the entire dwarven population. My only issues there was the canon. Otherwise, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Thank you my friend. Wishing you a great day and a most phenomenal week!!! Cheers!
@@GeorgeTheGiantSlayer thank you so much for replying . I figured it was a canonical reason. I can see one of the bopsy twins putting the well endowed lady there just to stick it to everyone. I hope you have a great week.
Got a "Daggerfall" flashback, from the swimming. In video games you can abandon all senses, and just go for it!
It's a WASTE of your time, BOYCOTT it.
Couldn't they have at least found an attractive actress to play Galadriel rather than that pinch-faced, skeletal excuse for a woman? Mighty warrior? It looks like she'd blow away in a strong wind!
That scene in The Wizard Of Oz where Elrond visits the Emerald City and they won't let him into the club. 😅🤣😂
Amazon must cancel this shit its embarrassing
The show fails to address the REAL questions that we all have, like:
what do Elf bullies think of mixed relationships?
Or where is everybody getting these fly haircuts?
haven’t seen a stylist in the entire show. It would’ve been a perfect opportunity to place an LGBT cast member.
I was actually hoping they’d put in a gay bipoc elf in it who’d say: “That Sauron he’s so hot, I can definitely fix him'"
Ugg, that superfan sh1thead? He couldn’t fix his own ass with a manual and expensive set of tools.
It seems Celebrimbor’s jealousy of his grandfather mimics Simon Tolkien’s jealousy of his own grandfather.
When Galadriel said "it's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you".
Sauron in tears. 🥺
Wow ! Sir George thank you for pointing out the difference between fantasy and methodology and the Professors intentions for creating these methodologys . I'm still holding the line and have not watched any of the show except for reviews made by Giant Slayer and others , so thank you for saving us the agony of having to watch this catastrophe. 👌👏
It is a very important distinction that most media seem to forget. Mythology is about specific cultures. Fantasy and fiction are completely different animals, where anyone can do anything. Thank you Shelly for sharing your insights. Much appreciated! Have a good day and a great week! Always Forward!!!
I loved how you mentioned Jaws in 1975 having a far better looking ocean scene compared to ROP. When I saw this ROP episode I keep saying to myself that it looked extremely fake. "How convenient that it's so foggy to cover up the distant shots to show how vast the ocean actually is." LOL
I'm sure they must have spent millions of dollars creating, or renting, some massive indoor water studio to film in but it just ends up looking fake. I bet they could have spent 50% of what they did and just gone out to the ocean to film. Just keep the shore line behind the camera and they wouldn't need to go out very far.
They actually had _two_ „water tanks“, one of which was outside…….😅 The very definition of style over substance..
„Filming the entire sequence - consisting of 195 different shots over a span of another three weeks - in two water tanks, one outdoors, which was built to be around 10 feet at its deepest point and could hold up to 2.5 million liters of water, the other a smaller, 1.2 million liter dive tank with a maximum depth of 16 feet.“ (article by Collider)
And the scene still looks strange, and most importantly, its content is infuriating non-sense :(
Lolol you assume they have the skill to adapt, improvise and make things seem actually good and natural instead of relying on others to fill things in for them(cgi artists).
the dwarves had the right attitude....shut the door and prevent this absurd storyline from continuing any further XD
"This show sucks balls" - The Sea
Bingo!
I’ve gone through the face-palm stage, the open-mouthed gawp in puzzlement stage and the ‘did they REALLY do that’ stage. Now I’m at the ‘involuntary guffaw with mocking pity’ stage. Wait till Ep.4………..(cue foreshadowing).
I have a MauLer plushy, critical drinker sunglasses, now I’m just waiting for my George the Giant Slayer action figure. How about it George?
So I’ve come to understand that this was never meant to be a Tolkien show from the beginning. All of that PR was just misdirection. It was never going to be good. They thought they could co-op the fandom and put out some generic fantasy awoke garbage. But like hobbits, they totally underestimated us.
The mechanisms for fan baiting were in place long before the show was even cast. They wrote the Scripps for the publicity long before they turned out the crap scripts of the show.
The more I learn about the history of this thing in the making the more I realize it was nothing but a long con, but one that was ill conceived and completely misunderstood their mark.
Why are all theses characters wearing armor when NOT IN BATTLE AND NOT LIKELY TO BE IN BATTLE???????
Amazon is DUMD. D U M D. DUMD.
Mighty Morfydd Power Ranger spends 1000 years looking for orcs and can’t find any.
Little kid just randomly stumbles on orc.
Lmao
I think it is interesting that most, if not all, of the RUclipsrs who were positive of the series are not really cheerleading anymore. They just seem to focus on explaining the episode while weaving in lore explanations and speculation for why something appears in the episode.
"You can't suspend disbelief when you despise the character" great point made
Every next episode is worse than the last. When you have an unlikable character as the lead, it never goes well. Amazon knows it’s a disaster. We are winning. I know they supposedly have to film 5 seasons. Lol. They are going to lose money in the billions. Keep up the fight. Don’t let the slanderous garbage that the actors and writers are tweeting stop you. We know th truth.
Wait... Guyladriel was simply pushed from raft, when sHe was able to barehandedly defeat númenorian soldiers? Peak of human rase?
And...in between Durins... There was even centuries, if not milenia if im not mistaken
@@amazingbakingsoda6811 Ah right... Race superpowers (excapt only different race was Guyladriel)
@@amazingbakingsoda6811 It had to be a woman because a MAN cannot best Guy-LAD-re-re-el.
@@magorostravsky5732 The timeline is all over the place already. Elendil for example lived a thousand years after Celebrimbors death.
I know a lot of YT people want views by tearing this show to pieces, but I stopped watching after episode 1 and others should too. Every viewing helps their agenda.
That's what I'm saying. Knights watch, nerdrotic etc. Are just giving this show views while saying to reject this show. I'm not watching this shit but they're hypocrites.
It began with the forging of the great films. Three books were made by JRR Tolkien, immortal wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven rights were given to Peter Jackson, great crafter and miner of the movie mountain. And nine, nine hours were given to the race of men who above all else, desired loyalty and plot. And all of these things had the power to keep Tolkien’s world alive and beautiful. But they were all of them deceived, for another show was made. In the land of amazon in the fires of mount prime, the dark lord bezos made in failure a master flop to control all others. And into this show he poured his greed, his money and his will to dominate all other shows. One big flop to rule them all.
One by one the free peoples of Tolkien fell to the power of the film.
But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of Tolkien fans and Jackson fans marched on the armies of amazon and on the slopes of mount prime they fought for the freedom of Tolkien.
Victory was near, but the power of the show could not be undone.
It was at this moment that Simon, grandson of Tolkien, took up his fathers books and cut the rights to bezos.
The show passed to Simon, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever. But the hearts of men are easily corrupted. And the show has a will of its own. But Simon would not listen to our counsel and took it to treasure it, but soon was betrayed by it to his death, and so it is named in the fandom, Tolkien’s bane.
And some things that were not to be forgotten were lost, theory became cannon, and for two and a half years the show was taken as a part of Tolkien's world. But then, when chance would have it. The rights were bought by a new keeper.
The show is awful, and up to this point, I think the billion dollars used on this show, has been mostly used to be washed for tax purposes, and not into the writers, props or buildings. This feels like a show made by "The producers" on Broadway.
Hail George! :D
'spring time for Galadriel and Numenor'
@@seakayak4425 Hahahaha. Yes, exactly :D
@@Zanzoltan Dude you made a great analogy,it's how I shall think of it from now on xD
I got to that conclusion shortly after knowing that big donations to female streamers are for tax exemption.
Loved the part when Galadriel yelled out “Get to the Chopper “ totally breathtaking!!
LOL! You all kill me with your incredibly funny lines. Though ten times better than any of the cringe dialogue written in Rings. “The Sea is always right.” I was like what?! Many thanks Salty Vet for sharing that. Cheers my friend!!!
Again guys, CGI had just come out in LoTR days and it's WOW factor was off the scales. Today either CGI os going to be worth hundreds of millions alone or nothing at all as PRACTICAL effects are all the rage now. Amazon relied on spectacles rather than dialog and since very few know how to write a short story let alone a 2 book duology these days its like expecting Gimli to solo a Balrog. For an epic tale HAS TO BE one writer for continuity sake even in the 80s or lose continuity and create plot holes.
For this i referance the DUNE series! Once Mr. Herbert passed his son and a friend TRIED to continue but in 3 books there were enough plot holes to bury the series, so one writer with a dedication to tell the story in full must be found and NEVER tampered with! Two writers even with a minute by minute guide will generally have RADICAL variation of story.
So I've addressed the writing that i have no words in any language on earth or arda to give to the level of bad. I will move on to the actors.
Most of them arent actors, they are SJWs with acting credentials and refused to divorce their personal feelings from the character they were paid to portray. That is the kiss of death to ANYTHING cinema, musical, or stage based.
The CGI wasnt given enough money, staff, time or inclinations to create a jawdropper, they were paid a pittance, told to check boxes, they could hire a third the staff needed, and it needed to be done 6 months before they could polish it to the gloss needed. Sufficed to say, they failed. I dont blame them, i blame mid and upper leaderships. On that note.
I smell the projects funds were "appropriated" to small things like, big expensive meals, personal projects within the series that were cut 2 days into creation, the kickbacks to themselves and lf course tax write offs via charities that will never make it to the destination ref. ala Amber Heard.
So they failed in every category, made this for fans who rejected it mid production due to Shippeys firing, couldnt repay the cost as the had soent (or embezzled) too much and said "screw it" to bilk as much off of Bezos before it hit the fan.
Sounds about right, I saw someplace that the actors are theater actors which is an entirely different technique from film actors. That may be some of the problem.
@@audreybailey5139 theater actors? Then they should be better at exposition than some 2nd year drama high-school kids. Ive seen better acting in the cut scenes from 1st year college, relying on CGI and that to "paint the board" (lol cause the act like boards). The one spot i believe i can apologize to an actor for is that woman that plays Disa. From what ive heard she might have gotten it right abd been done dirty by the writers, but havenr scene it could be wrong.
I like the part where Uncle Remus Harfoot sings Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah to the gang and they form that Conga line and you know everything is going to be okay!!
Oh George, “the ritual of what!?” You nailed it! And the boob armor, What the what? My God George you are on fire with this episode. You have me rolling with laughter from your comments. You are so spot on and so succinct with your assessments, I just don’t know what to say. keep it up kind sir. I love the comments and I will keep coming back to hear more.
need longer videos like this, some have been short. but i know its hard to fill information and make videos, but cant get enough of you. love ur videos! always looking forward what u put out next
Is Feanor's hammer part of the Canon? I'm having trouble finding any official lore about it, and I'm curious. Anybody have any refs?
I just can't unsee it. The elfs in this show look like the collection of the refuse of humanity. Not ethereal, not mystical, not magical and not even looking like the best example of HUMANITY. This is the Elf we're seeing! An insufferable Karen, a childlike adult, a middle age pensioner, a confused bisexual king, an inexperienced but egoistic soldier and that's the example of ELFs!!! I don't know if I should laugh or facepalm when I watch these elfs. 🤔😅
They had the legend of King Arthur and the knights of the round table
“You haven’t seen what I’ve seen.”
“They’re always after me lucky charms.”
Execellent Truth Telling, GTGS! Keep fighting the good fight! We're winning!
Numenore is an isolationist island??? That makes about as much sense as migratory farmers…
Oh.. darn
I see now
Well, the blue wizards( Alatar and Palando) arrive around 2000 of the second age, Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast arrive around 1000 of the third age. And big thanks for your contribution to the Tolkien's legendarium. as Gandalf sed: "all things come to an end, even darkest of times". for Tolkien.
Grandmabrimbor talking about the beauty of silmarils is meant as a metaphor for him looking at Femrond's face.... jajaja
Yeah. And thing is Celebrimbor would definitely be haunted by what his family had done (as per the song of the Ainur it had to happen this way) so he wouldn’t exactly talk about the Silmarils fondly. Maybe in a melancholy way in memory of his ancestors. But in the books he was repentant of his families actions and he was given safe passage to live far away. Nargothrond I believe, for a while that is. Forgot where he moved to after his pardon was given. And he also wanted no part in that oath so he made it very clear he didn’t want to be tied to any of it let alone help that oath forward in any way. Plus any who do are bound by that oath that was made to Eru
@@Makkaru112 nice little expose. Gracias.
You have some great lines in your videos! These are the best rings of power take Downs I've watched yet.
It took the Numenoreans 600 years after the 2nd Age began before they were able to build boats strong enough to sail from Numenor to MIddle-Earth.
8:23 "A nasty bunch of turds!!" 😆😆 THAT was beautiful.
Thank you beltanetrex! Glad you enjoyed the video my friend. Wishing you a wonderful day! Cheers!
Absolutely love your review. Honest without being rude in any way. So glad I found your channel.
One huge out rage for me is this idea that there could be 2 durins living at the same time I mean who let that get through it's a huge over sight this is a huge part of dwarven history durin the deathless was pretty much their God he founded kaza doom and lived for 5,000 years
I really love how u are taking your time to analyze and tear apart each episode scene by scene.....this is really the best review out there lol. Some of the things i caught the first time i was watching this crap but after watching these videos i'm like "Oh shit!!! He is right....it's even worse than i thought" XDDDD
People keep saying 'if they'd just made an original IP generic fantasy...' it wouldn't have mattered. Everything about this looks terrible: CG, cast choice, sets, costumes, writing, dialogue, character development, cinematography, etc....it just looks awful.
You earned my thumbs up with your first sentence! Keep up the good work. FYI, I stopped watching the streams after this episode but will continue to watch RUclips reviews ( particularly yours ) to stay up to date with this travesty. It cannot be said too many times...people need to stop watching this garbage. Deny Amazon your eyeballs.
The show is getting more ridiculous on each episode, Not sure if they will show war of the last alliance, but I have feeling they probably will as it took place at the end of 2nd age. Amazon probably will include Guyladriel in that battle where she's not part of. If she does, who knows she probably will have her girl power moment where she will challenge Sauron himself in a single combat lol, kind of like how her uncle Fingolfin had balls to challenge Morgoth in a duel 😂😂
I won't be surprised if she appears in war of the last alliance lol, its Amazon, they will do whatever they can. Galadriel was on the western shores of Middle-earth and unable to participate when the War of the Last Alliance took place.The elves of Lórien did take part in the War of the Last Alliance, specifically at the Battle of Dagorlad. Unfortunately, they did so under the hotheaded and lackluster leadership of their Sindarin elf king Amdir*
At the End of All, someone should say this to Mr. Bezos:
You are a delivery guy. You figured out how to deliver packages efficiently. This made you a billionaire... but that doesn't mean your are cultured or sophisticated or smart. You are, and you always be a a delivery guy.
So, stay with you know best, get richer, enjoy life and stop publicly embarrassing yourself messing up with cultural concepts you cannot comprehend.
BTW, have people noticed that while IMDb has allowed +3000 user reviews by now, they seemingly intentionally array the frontpage of the reviews full of 10/10, 9/10 and 8/10 reviews. When you click "more reviews" you start seeing tons of 2/10 and 3/10. Gee, I wonder why.
Episode 6: Galadriel twerks with Cardi B after battling the White Stripes & their Seven Nation Army.
Strong-Woman is a great swimmer. Who needs ships!
Great review! I'm awaiting your episode 4 review though. That episode was the final nail in this coffin of a show.
It is coming W. G. Should be all caught up with reviews by this Wednesday and Thursday. I had covered all the news at the time and it put me behind. It’s coming. Have a good morning and a great day my friend!
Great job addressing the Oliphant in the room George !
hahahaha
That intro was epic! Well played, sir. Well played.
Maybe she wanted to swim only to Tol Eressea - an island realy close to Valinor and then take a ship to Numenor from there and on Numenor take a ship to Middle-Earth. But only Tolkien fans can imagine such explanaition ( not very well at all considering Galadriel's true charachter ) :) but IMO most audience must have been just puzzled at the view of Galadriel swimming at open sea at night with nothing around. :D
light em up George
lmao when talking about harfoots "these are a NASTY BUNCH OF TURDS" very true
I just realized the opening of the peep hole scene was aping the scene from the Hobbit movie. They hate PJ but they can't stop copying him.
And I love how Bronwhen? Doesn't care about all her dead friends.
Keep up the fight people!
No Tolkien to be found here. #respectthelore #protectwhatyoulove #votewithyourwallet #GEORGE!!
If you were to take a shot every time this show violates the rule of show don't tell, you'd die of alcohol poisoning before the first episode was even over.
5:20 I thought the same. They will think that Sauron and Morgoth are elves...
One billion dollars!? Incredible amount of money. And a mediocre fantasy soap opera. Amazing dumpster fire. That amount money, Wow!
Wow indeed!
When Don Lemonlas trows the torch in the hole and is only 2 feet deep!! I almost punch my monitor!! Wtf is this?? Billion dollars? Where?
The Rite of Sigin-Tarâg doesn't even exist in Lore, it's completely invented.
I believe it's actually Klingon.
@@JCO2002 what ? the word "Sigin-Tarâg" or the ritual?
@@Sanedit7 The ritual. I could be wrong, though. It might be Vulcan.
Lore easter eggs aren't going to make Tolkien fans excited because most of us are already disappointed if not out angry at all the lore changes especially putting the fall of Numenor, Sauron's taking of Mordor, and forging of the Rings of Power all around the same time. The casual fans will find the references too dense and narratively speaking they don't really add to the story so far. Looking at those praising the series, I find much of that praise rather shallow and little understanding of the lore despite saying they are a fan (yeah, sure!)
Garbage show. I think Simon Tolkien hates his father and grandfather. With what he is letting amazon do, that is all that makes sense.
His parents split when he was young. He went with the mother. There's a lot of issues in there.
Doesn't he understand if he destroys his grandfathers legacy, he's more or less killing the golden goose. It seems money is all that matters to him.
I don't know if it's just me but I've noticed that the character who plays the black elf seems to be blacker than he originally is in real life. I've seen pictures of him without costume and he looks much lighter and skin tone than he does in the series. I don't know if anyone else has noticed the same thing it's pretty bad that even the black person playing the elf isn't black enough that they have to make him even more black.
You know the tide has turned when even King Shill "Forbes" says the show sucks. But that's "Forbes" for you. Right on the cutting edge of the cultural zeitgeist...from last year. Also, congratulations to you George, for breaking the story about Hello Future Me and Amazon paying for positive reviews. Very cool to see you on the Midnight's Edge panel.
The part where Chadladriel walks into the palace, singles out the queen and says "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle" fucking gets me every time... powerful powerful tv
New to the channel but love the content and passion. I’m curious if you’ve ever read the wheel of time? By far my favorite series ever and curious if you have what your thoughts on the show were. Another wold and lore that Amazon completely destroyed
Remember the Toxic Avenger…he did some long ass swim too…but I think it only cost around 500,000.
Hail Geaorge and hail slayers hope it's a good sunday. I have given up on watching this after the 3rd ep and am better for it but i do look forward to these reviews so that is something good🙂 I will say this tho i have seen more and more people stepping up to call this show out. Read the books, watch the P.J films even tho they are not perfect and you are all good imo. Great video as always and am looking forward to the next one and as always take care one and all 🙂
This show makes George Lucas look like an absolute master of writing dialog.
