Like this if when ROP is done if you would like Gandalf's directors cut of the LOTR trilogy? Also to clarify 7.02, it’s chief ‘negger’, ‘negging’ as in the act of trying to lower someone’s self esteem
Or The Hobbit. Alternatively, there are continuously disappointed GoT viewers who’d enjoy watching Headless Ned, Tall Tyrion and Gandalf having a go at the series, particularly the later seasons.
Didnt he climb up a mountain when the others took a helicopter, because he was afraid of flying in it? If I rember that correctly I wonder why he always sounds so out of breath. I guess its just part of his acting style.
This joke was truly magnificent. A bloody *PP transition*, when panning out to that lovely parchment map of the place that we've been swooping over for weeks could have done exactly the same job in far more elegant, consistent and less boring-meeting fashion. After all that expensive and impressive fiery destruction, who would sign off on something as cheap as that looked? It's like having an actor read a stage direction because you can't think how else to end the scene.
yeah that was such a lazy way of conveying that plus doesn't match the style of show & it wasn't even needed at all like how stupid do they think the audience is to not already know that
@@Matt__B I think unedited is right. Just like how they call anyone who does not like the show "evil", they probably think the same of anyone working with them that thought they could make improvements to the script and so it is likely unchanged from initial draft.
The more I think about it, now that we have a lot of their BTS opinions of how confident they are in their 'writing skills,' I'm genuinely beginning to belive they are not only breaking lore to drum up controversy for views but so that they give themselves the right to reinterpret the story their own way... and give themselves an excuse to (I might throw up) rewrite the LotR trilogy in the future. It's giving me that horrible sinking feeling you get when you see your neighborhood get grazed over and gentrified, like there's not much you can do about it but it makes you wanna not look at it anymore. I hope to god I'm wrong. I hope the show continues to tank deeply.
your impression of gandalf is so spot-on i can't even believe it's not ian mckellen. the others are also very good, but the gandalf one blows my mind.🍎
“Mother, you’re looking very well for a woman who just underwent open shoulder surgery and got hit by a volcanic eruption”….Boromir’s resentment gets funnier every week. This series has been a gift to the foes of Amazon.
But, I mean... It's true. It's like the analogy to movie-gunshot wounds where all they care about is removing the bullet and magically everything is better. Just burning over the wound dun stop potential internal bleeding.
So they just revealed after 7 episodes that Galadriel presumably lost her husband to the war, and yet she is madly driven by vengeance for her brother's death and has ever since been looking for Sauron instead of hubby Celeborn. Which makes her character even more unlikeable. Perfection.
That arrow to Boromir's ribs definitely damaged a lung or two. It certainly took a toll on his voice, rendering him shaky and brief with his words. Glad to see he's recovering. xD
I'm from Naples (so very close to both places) and that's literally the first thing I thought when I saw the scene. They should have died because of the air and fumes before anything else.
Those people got cooked from the inside out just from the hot air alone. I can’t fathom how the writers thought anyone would survive that eruption with little to no visible burns. I’ve been in Pompeii and have seen the casts they made from those poor people. Most of them were lying in positions that showed they died instantaneously. One poor fellow even lost his life while he was rubbing one out.
I like how they keep bringing up regular people survived a pyroclastic flow to the face, 'Hello mother, you're looking well for someone who went through open shoulder surgery yesterday and then got hit by a volcanic eruption.'
Its a sad testament to the rings of power that I look forward to these more than the actual episodes..I actually hope we get another 5 seasons..just so we can get more of these...although I doubt Charlie's sanity will still be intact by season 3
We feel your sadness and are of the same accord, we invite you to Join us for our counter ROP series, we must stop watching this even for negative publicity because it feeds the amazon rating system, Mae G'ovannen! Now the evidence is clear, and none can deny that "ROP" is not of Tolkien. Take heart and join us for our just released third installment of 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!"
"That's great foreshadowing from 2010" - I just...can't. The image of Gandalf casually listening to love the way you lie will never leave my memory and I love it.
OMG! I think this was the best one yet!😂😂😂 Baby Elrond bouncing in the Jolly Jumper and in timeout 😂😂😂 And I learned a new word today, “Tolkienistas” PERFECT!!!😂😂😂😂 Fantastic job👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
oh dont worry, with Amazon promising us 4 more seasons of this show we will definitely be getting more of Gandalf roasts, honestly looking forward to it more than the actual show 😂
Baby Elrond slays me every time! I keep expecting him to slide into the Mr. Smith character & say “ Mr. Anderson” at any second! All of the impressions are perfect.
@@KnightGeneral True. Her character is super inconsistent. Galadriel ep 4: Screw highking, I am gonna do what I want. Gotta kill all the orcs! Galadriel ep 5: Humility is the best virtue a soldier can have, Isildur. Galadriel ep 6: There is a tempest in MEE! Gonna torture and kill all orc MFs and finally you, Adar Galadriel ep 7: No, Theo. One must not utter such words as killing of anything breeds darkness in our hearts. Galadriel ep 8: Oh yeah, Halbrand is Sauron, he will probably end the world. But I won't tell anyone because strong women don't make mistakes. Beta Elrond: I am sorry I didn't support you. You are always right. You go gurl! I can probably poop a better writing than this.
"Invoke the ancient protection of the dog and duck" .. Epic wisdom. 😉 Boromir crunching Cheetos. Infant Elrond "bouncing". Both closer to Tolkiens themes than TROP could ever be. More entertaining than all 7 episodes of TROP thus far.
Honestly the biggest problem I have with RoP is not what it did with the lore, not that that isn't a problem, but the fact that it is as boring AF. I mean it so boring I can't even watch it long enough to be upset by anything else.
I'm surprised Boromir didn't say something about carrying the weight if the dead when Theo came on screen. Comedy gold, these skits. And the Gandalf voice is perfection!
Lol when white males talk about cultural vandalism. Guy get yourself some education about the global white cultural vandalism over thousands of years and then you might realize how absurd and surreal your perspective is. Most whities even believe in a white blue eyed blonde middle-eastern Jesus this whole whitewashing is just ridiculous.
This weeks highlights include Boromir's neurotic line delivery on the dangers of appley tooth damage, and Gandalf's refusal to turn on the Balrog til November. :) . I gave up on RoP after episode 3, but I haven't missed one of these. When Rop is over you must do PJ's trilogy.
I love all the added action with YUNG Elrond. Especially when Gandalf is carrying him, gently bouncing him and patting his bum. 😂 Thank you so much for these!
One thing I am genuinely grateful when it comes to RoP is the high quality roasting it has inspired to some youtubers. This channel is the best remedy there is after you've been poisoned by the unfathomable mediocrity of Amazon's billion dollars plague.
I just found these RoP roasts by complete accident and have laughed so hard my dogs fled the room, giving me worried looks over their shoulders …. The writing is so so clever AND the voices are brilliant, AND the fakery’s so slick. Hysterical.
Theo: "Tell me where is Celeborn, for I much desire to speak with him. I can no longer see him from afar" Galadriel: "Celeborn did not pass the borders of this land. He has fallen into shadow?"
Love how the Finding Dory comment not only ties in with 'just keep walking' , but it also refers to the not-hobbit's memory loss. They also forget who they are and what they value every other scene. So good 😂
My favorite part was when Galadriel said, “Men would sooner put the realm to the torch..than see a woman ascend the Iron Throne.” Chills ran up my spine. What an absolute masterpiece.
Impressed at how fast your produce these. Consistently improving and funny. Elrond time out in baby doorway jumper is amazing. Boromir getting everyone sick with his cold really adds a theme that correlates and explains their wardrobe and surroundings. Keep up all the good work. I can't wait until the next one!
Episode 7 has doubled down on bargain-brand callbacks to the Lord of the Rings movies: hiding from orcs is the new hiding from black riders, horse doesn’t want to go home is the new Brego (he’s even called Berek), Halbrand’s wound is the new morgul blade, etc. When they aren’t ripping off the Peter Jackson movies, they completely tear up the existing story where Galadriel is 3000+ years old, has a husband and daughter, has studied magic with a literal angel, and has gifts of foresight and prophecy. Yet she couldn’t keep track of the blade/key that would doom an entire region. She’s definitely worth spending an entire ring on when they do start making rings of power, if she’s not too busy with her Halbrand/Celeborn love triangle that they are going to force into the story.
@@joshjones6072 Indeed-bad sequels/prequels just imitate the original, they don’t elevate the story. If they wanted to make a show that would have been a gritty game-of-thrones style, they could have gone with the downfall of Arnor, split amongst three warring brothers and the Witch-King of Angmar. Lots of great opportunities for storytelling and they have the rights to it. Instead, we are being given dollar-store rejects of the Akallabeth, which Amazon doesn’t have the rights to. How are they going to show the downfall of Numenor without showing the downfall of Numenor? It’s ironic that they chose the second age-the age of man’s hubris, his certitude in his own superiority and the absolute apocalypse that men bring down upon themselves and middle earth due to their own short sightedness. That’s ironically exactly what the show is doing, although they don’t have the wit to realize it.
I think Halbrand is going to make his “I’m Sauron” or “I’ve been called by many names” reveal next episode right at the end after he’s healed of his wound so you won’t have to worry about a love triangle for much longer.
@@OptimusSublyme As much as I want to believe the pain will soon be over, I know in my heart that the showrunners don’t have a motivation for Galadriel. She’s their Captain Marvel, the appeasement by aging white male executives who are hoping to capture “the women demographic” without actually bothering to make a character. And this is in a season with Disa, who is a devoted wife and strong communicator! But Galadriel is a bad wife and mother who isn’t even looking for her husband’s body or presumably taking care of their daughter Celebrian, whom Elrond is supposed to marry! The only real motivation she has is in relation to the men in her life: Sauron, Halbrand, Celeborn, etc. She can only either love or hate these men, because anything else would require her to have wants and desires of her own. She can’t have that or the central tension of the entire plot falls apart-like, who cares if Sauron comes back? Some piddly Maia, like Galadriel hasn’t literally been chilling with Melian the Maia for hundreds of years learning protective healing and shrouding magic to keep her realm secret and increase her magical foresight. Who am I kidding-the showrunners made Galadriel into Bella Swan, and they just need to slot in a darkly handsome Edward Cullen. If Halbrand goes bad, even odds that Galadriel defends him and falls in love with him, just so that later she can be betrayed when he is Sauron and she must hate him. But also love him! But also hate him! But also…
I anticipate these weekly Gandalf recaps, more than I anticipate the actual billion dollar Amazon dumpster fire episodes. I predict that the show is canceled before a single Ring is forged.
@@bencarlson4300 I don't understand what their plan even is. If it takes a couple years to film every season, and they want to do 5 seasons, it's gonna take at least 8 years from this point on, probably more, possibly way more. The actors are gonna age hard. It really feels like those sleazy show-runners are milking this for all it's worth, for their own gain.
@@enjoythestruggle To me it feels like the opposite of what happened to GoT. D&D were offered as many seasons as they wanted, they could leave if they wanted, they could do anything basically. They had all the freedom imaginable and did nothing. This show, RoP, feels like a committee at Amazon came up with strict plotpoints and demographics they wanted to hit, found some buffoons that would do exactly what they were told, and had them write in a way that included everything on the committee's wishlist. There is zero logical progression and no sensical character motivations, but every character ticks a box either from a comedy, diversity, mystery, or "drama" perspective. So, from a corporate perspective, they, whether that be the showrunners or Amazon, will milk this show for every penny until there is no audience left watching.
Like this if when ROP is done if you would like Gandalf's directors cut of the LOTR trilogy? Also to clarify 7.02, it’s chief ‘negger’, ‘negging’ as in the act of trying to lower someone’s self esteem

Boromir's inability to finish a line without running out of breath just before the last syllable is comic genius.
It’s Boromir in his Ned Stark phase.
Didnt he climb up a mountain when the others took a helicopter, because he was afraid of flying in it? If I rember that correctly I wonder why he always sounds so out of breath. I guess its just part of his acting style.

@@Rimmsolin at least the dialog here, is lore correct...

Also, having Celeborn be dead is a direct contradiction to LOTR, where he's literally standing right next to Galadriel when she greets the fellowship.
Also, Celeborn being dead means Elrond's wife, Celebrian, will never be born. You know what that means? No Arwen and her siblings.

Love how the Finding Dory comment not only ties in with 'just keep walking' , but it also refers to the not-hobbit's memory loss. They also forget who they are and what they value every other scene. So good 😂
Loved Treebeard :-) Great as always.
My favorite part was when Galadriel said, “Men would sooner put the realm to the torch..than see a woman ascend the Iron Throne.” Chills ran up my spine. What an absolute masterpiece.
I literally wait after every episode to watch these ... holy shit this is gold. thanks for the content
Great work bro
We’re all waiting for episode 8
I'd have died if he would've said "I am Groot"
Celeborn is so gorgeous. If he was my husband there's no way I would forget him.
It is said to be written in ancient Elven runes that as Gandalf's face gets better looking every episode, Thorin's face, well... 9:56
Gunna have to go back to the drawing board with thorins face
Saruman: "The dwarfs dug too greedily, and too deep."
Thorin: *Digging into a bag of chips greedily and deeply.*
You're the main reason I subject myself to the misery that RoP has become. The epic roasting almost makes up for it.
Impressed at how fast your produce these. Consistently improving and funny. Elrond time out in baby doorway jumper is amazing. Boromir getting everyone sick with his cold really adds a theme that correlates and explains their wardrobe and surroundings. Keep up all the good work. I can't wait until the next one!
Episode 7 has doubled down on bargain-brand callbacks to the Lord of the Rings movies: hiding from orcs is the new hiding from black riders, horse doesn’t want to go home is the new Brego (he’s even called Berek), Halbrand’s wound is the new morgul blade, etc. When they aren’t ripping off the Peter Jackson movies, they completely tear up the existing story where Galadriel is 3000+ years old, has a husband and daughter, has studied magic with a literal angel, and has gifts of foresight and prophecy. Yet she couldn’t keep track of the blade/key that would doom an entire region. She’s definitely worth spending an entire ring on when they do start making rings of power, if she’s not too busy with her Halbrand/Celeborn love triangle that they are going to force into the story.
So true. All the hamfisted call backs make me sick. Lol So lazy and not even necessary.
@@joshjones6072 Indeed-bad sequels/prequels just imitate the original, they don’t elevate the story. If they wanted to make a show that would have been a gritty game-of-thrones style, they could have gone with the downfall of Arnor, split amongst three warring brothers and the Witch-King of Angmar. Lots of great opportunities for storytelling and they have the rights to it. Instead, we are being given dollar-store rejects of the Akallabeth, which Amazon doesn’t have the rights to. How are they going to show the downfall of Numenor without showing the downfall of Numenor? It’s ironic that they chose the second age-the age of man’s hubris, his certitude in his own superiority and the absolute apocalypse that men bring down upon themselves and middle earth due to their own short sightedness. That’s ironically exactly what the show is doing, although they don’t have the wit to realize it.
I think Halbrand is going to make his “I’m Sauron” or “I’ve been called by many names” reveal next episode right at the end after he’s healed of his wound so you won’t have to worry about a love triangle for much longer.
@@OptimusSublyme As much as I want to believe the pain will soon be over, I know in my heart that the showrunners don’t have a motivation for Galadriel. She’s their Captain Marvel, the appeasement by aging white male executives who are hoping to capture “the women demographic” without actually bothering to make a character. And this is in a season with Disa, who is a devoted wife and strong communicator! But Galadriel is a bad wife and mother who isn’t even looking for her husband’s body or presumably taking care of their daughter Celebrian, whom Elrond is supposed to marry! The only real motivation she has is in relation to the men in her life: Sauron, Halbrand, Celeborn, etc. She can only either love or hate these men, because anything else would require her to have wants and desires of her own. She can’t have that or the central tension of the entire plot falls apart-like, who cares if Sauron comes back? Some piddly Maia, like Galadriel hasn’t literally been chilling with Melian the Maia for hundreds of years learning protective healing and shrouding magic to keep her realm secret and increase her magical foresight. Who am I kidding-the showrunners made Galadriel into Bella Swan, and they just need to slot in a darkly handsome Edward Cullen. If Halbrand goes bad, even odds that Galadriel defends him and falls in love with him, just so that later she can be betrayed when he is Sauron and she must hate him. But also love him! But also hate him! But also…
Oh God, I am NEVER going to look at a crop circle the same way again!
I anticipate these weekly Gandalf recaps, more than I anticipate the actual billion dollar Amazon dumpster fire episodes. I predict that the show is canceled before a single Ring is forged.
Stop watching it and you might get your wish 🤞🏼
They’ve sunk so much money into it, idk if they could cancel it if they wanted to
@@bencarlson4300 I don't understand what their plan even is. If it takes a couple years to film every season, and they want to do 5 seasons, it's gonna take at least 8 years from this point on, probably more, possibly way more. The actors are gonna age hard. It really feels like those sleazy show-runners are milking this for all it's worth, for their own gain.
@@enjoythestruggle To me it feels like the opposite of what happened to GoT. D&D were offered as many seasons as they wanted, they could leave if they wanted, they could do anything basically. They had all the freedom imaginable and did nothing.
This show, RoP, feels like a committee at Amazon came up with strict plotpoints and demographics they wanted to hit, found some buffoons that would do exactly what they were told, and had them write in a way that included everything on the committee's wishlist. There is zero logical progression and no sensical character motivations, but every character ticks a box either from a comedy, diversity, mystery, or "drama" perspective. So, from a corporate perspective, they, whether that be the showrunners or Amazon, will milk this show for every penny until there is no audience left watching.
They legally have to go five seasons.
“Did they just reveal the creation of Mordor…by PowerPoint? It’s like a corporate presentation!”
I died 😂
A volcanic eruption is probably worse than getting attack by Smaug, but somehow they manage to survive a close proximity pyroclastic flow 😂
14:28 "We don't put the Balrog on until November".
That is one dynamite Sean Bean impression.
I swear the “he must’ve gotten hit by a rogue morgel blade”, cracks me up every time lol.
bro i was searching EVERYWHERE for this!
The house plant 🤣
Dude you’re so good! Much respect! Super enjoyable to watch. Likes a lot of other have said. This is better than the show ! 😂😂
I appreciate that many of the reference for LOTR fans do not need to be articulated. they're just in there for us to appreciate.
