    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

      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.

    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.

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.

      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.

    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.

    • @TheLyricalCleric
      @TheLyricalCleric 2 года назад +1

      @@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…

      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.
