Sadly Simon Tolkien is the antithesis of J.R.R. and despises everything his grandfather stood for along with being unable to establish himself on his own merits as an author....
When people say that Rings of Power looks like a fanfic, I totally disagree. Because fans atleast know the original lore, in order to write a fanfic. But in the Rings of Power case is like a group of people that really hates Tolkien and know shit about the lore, just invented a lot of garbage.
Much better fanfiction out there ..... some of it is really excellent; recommend "what it means to be a king" about Elrond and Thranduil in the Second Age. Both BAMF elves!
I blame Simon Tolkien. If Christopher were still alive, he would never have allowed this mockery of his father's work to be made. He wasn't even happy with Peter Jackson's version of "Lord of the Rings", so one can only imagine what he would have had to say about this giant turd sandwich.
Mind you, Simon Tolkien is but a shareholder. He doesn't take all the decisions and still has to go to the board of the Tolkien Estate. He did vote in favor to this, which means he can indeed be blamed. It's not like the Tolkien Estate needs money, the royalties with HarperCollins Publishers makes it rich enough...

As an Asian here, showing an asian elf does not automatically make us be seen or be part of something. Hell, asian elf had no part besides her last moment of dying, and they tried to make it emotional or heroic smh. No one even knows her name lol. Showing the last moments of a random ass character is possibly the worst thing to have on your show.
I hate that Amazon has been insulting Lord of the Rings fans with this garbage. But I find it more egregious that they continue to disrespect Tolkien and his legacy. They pervert his characters and stories. And they villainize Tolkien and undermine the experiences he had that led to the creation of Middle-Earth to begin with. It's unforgivable. It's insufferable. Amazon deserves to lose every dollar they put into this show.
I agree with everything you just said. I have never watched a single episode of this crap. I only watch videos on youtube. I stick to the books and the Jackson trilogy (LOTR AND Hobbit, because I love the Hobbit movies too), because both are masterpeices but this crap from Amazon is the biggest insult to us Tolkien Fans that has ever been made! They should have used the amount of money for good things instead of that crap...
@philipmartin2919 I know, it's frustrating. Some who defend the show say, "It's okay because the Tolkien Estate supports them!" Oh, I'm sorry, but is the Tolkien Estate Tolkien himself? No. Therefore, they do not speak for him.
I agree. But if Tolkien fans really wanted to twist the knife to amazon, and bury this show in the way it deserves, they would simply stop watching it and talking about it. By even acknowledging its existence they're just drawing more attention to it, and therefore giving it more views, even if they are critical ones. It's like the priest said in The Fifth Element: "Evil begets evil. Shooting it will only make it stronger."
@NoPowerintheVerse well something really extraordinary happened to the world in a span of a few thousand years, since apparently when Helm's Deep was unter siege by Saruman's orcs the sun played along and rose in the east. But I suppose I should stop right here and now, the writers of this exceptional fanfic might actually pick up on this brilliant idea
Have you even, just for a second, contemplated the possibility that the east identifies itself as the north in the second age and Dougie Erlond is respecting the right of all directions in the horizon to identify themselves as they friggin please? Bigot!
@@NoPowerintheVerse The sun and moon were created during the first age of Ungolient ate the Tree's. So in this "adaption" the sun and moon should be rising the same as in LOTR... it's just that everybody responsible for this mess, have zero common sense and no creative talent.
'ITS THE MOST WATCHED SHOW EVER ! ! !"... if they mean cuts from the show, being laughed at across the planet.. then maybe thats where they get their numbers from..
O stop with the "Hollywood ruins everything" tired trope. Hollywood creates just as many projects that you love. Including PJ's Trilogy. CORPORATE BILLIONAIRES who have no business putting their grubby Hedge Fund fingers in the entertainment industry are at fault. All of HBO has been levelled by a greedy billionaire looking to squeeze every penny for stock buybacks and not the screen.
If it makes you feel any better, it will be forgotten twenty years from now. Nothing ages more quickly than pure sensationalism, and ROP is clearly a hollow shell - pretty to look at, but there's no inspiration, sincerity, intellect, heart, or substance in it. Peter Jackson's trilogy, meanwhile, will still be watched by millions 100 years from now.
Pretty sure it was used for money laundering, you can't throw that much money with no content to show up for it. It reminds of these restaurants in Hong Kong which stayed open during Covid with basically an empty restaurant and 50k USD rent per month for two years. No fucking way you make money from it.
No its more like copying everything from the peak of Hollywood and then putting your own bs into as a bonus. If the show was like Peter Jacksons trilogy i wouldnt mind if they took some ideas.
We understand he was under a trance as Sauron manipulated him, but the actor and the way they portrayed Celebrimbor is just sad lol. The guy is always crying and is so gullible. One of the highest and noble blacksmith just ended up being a little B.
Tolkien likely would have aired his grievances with the Peter Jackson Trilogy using pen and paper. With this show I think he'd instead express his thoughts with the business end of a shotgun.
He fought in the trenches of World War I, I suspect he knew the business end from the butt of rifle. My guess though, is that he would prefer a Lee-Enfield, more precise.
I thought Elrond was trying to slip her back the ring 💍 via kiss???? 🤨 not that it would have been any better… but nope it was a “distraction” to hand her a giant pin the size of your palm ✋🏻…. Riiighhtt….. And then Adar finds her gone, becomes ENRAGED ordering to find her…. Then 2 minutes later he couldn’t care less about her, staring right at her… because he’s too busy crying about orc fathers who won’t go home to their loving babies 🧟♂️
@boldisorstefan9020 if you haven't seen episode 8, its loaded with rings of power goodies, like a guy stabbed most certainly to death or very close to death who appears to be without any wounds and has a few scratches to the face. If that isn't bad enough , someone else decides to fall backwards from the top of a really really really tall cliff ... and survives like its nothing. Supposedly a tree must have broken their fall. Remember when Rambo fell through trees, he got a giant gash in his arm in that film, in this series, nah... we'll bring back folks from the dead. We'll not send dwarves who will show up to save the day in any case even though they weren't dispatched. It's pure comedy genius. A parody within a parody. Amazing
The most badass moment of the battle is when Galadriel steps up and says: "Yo, fam, listen up. If we don’t rise up now, there won’t be anything left to chill in. I’m here to slay. I'll put Sauron on permanent mute and secure the W for all of Middle-earth. No cap."
Why did I sit through 3 episodes of Sauron wooing an elven smith through gaslighting, just to throw her off the battlements? "heyyy you look just like Galadriel, YEET"
As an Asian myself, seeing an Asian cast in Rings of Power feels so off. It didn't feel right. Im sure the Asian community feels the same. We didn't ask for this unlike the other group. Wink wink.
We didn't ask for it either 😉. I'm a black XX & I liked the original LOTR. I think only 1 Hobbit film was needed, not milked for $$$ into 3. Btw, Asian guys...are cute 😊!
No, the other group didn't ask either. We get told that Black nerds were somehow under attack and marginalized, or that Blacks were angry over there not being 'people of colour' in LOTR. Seriously, no Blk nerd I know of ever complained like that.
I started laughing when the female Elf looked like Sandra Oh so much I thought it was her. We Asians have a wealth of mythologies and legends that we don't need token inclusion from the White folks. And I wish we got to see more of African stories and mythologies on major screens, instead of this "one Black for the White hacks under the Amazon lies".
@@BZerpBecause the decision to not waste hours of one’s time watching a show you know is probably doomed, and instead derive comedy and enjoyment instead of snoring… yeah, decision making like that couldn’t possibly be done with though!
@@BZerp "Think for oneself " I know you are a troll but you aren't very bright are you? Making the decision to not waste ones time on a show that most people with an IQ above room temperature knew would be garbage from the start is thinking for oneself. Gaining enjoyment from others mocking said train wreck in a humorous fashion is reinforcing said decision. Ignoring all the bogus fanfare and lying media that is beholden to Amazon in some fashion is further reinforcement of said decision and proof of free thought. If we only listened to others then why did we choose to ignore the positive reviews for the show? Here's a novel idea for you; how about you point out a single thing in this video that Nerdrotic blatantly lied about. Did Elrond not kiss his future bride's mother? Did they not repurpose lines / scenes from Jackson's movies? Have they not broken lore over and over again to shoehorn characters into situations they never took part in? The thing you so obviously missed is we aren't just going by what "people say" when they show visual evidence of their claims (ie clips). Again you don't seem to be very smart so you might want to leave the trolling to others better suited. This might also come as a shock to you but some of us have seen this show and still choose to not watch it and instead be entertained by people that are actually competent at what they do.
@@BZerp Or *gasp* make that decision on your own! A novel concept. It seems in your mind that if you don’t watch the show (watching it, by the way, is something people could also tell you to do) you are a mindless drone, but if you do watch it you’re not? Make it make sense.
I’ll argue Star Wars has had a bigger IP assassination because there’s just about no coming back from what it’s gone through. Thankfully two seasons of a shit show VERY loosely based the appendices can’t spread too far
I thought he would put the ring in her hand and the kiss was a diversion. Indeed, millions of people would be better script writers than this bunch. Clearly the intent is to destroy the Tolkien legacy, it's too pure for their demonic wokeness.
All criticism aside and seriously - how can it be that Amazon doesn't draw any conclusions from this disastrously badly written series? Why aren't the scriptwriters, directors and producers fired and replaced? If a series is so stupid and full of mistakes and poorly realized, that would be the obvious thing to do. Especially as these people have driven the most expensive series of all time, i.e. an absolute prestige object, so catastrophically against the wall as is unprecedented in the history of "film" and which makes even Disney, with Acolyte for example, look like geniuses and absolute greats? In my eyes, this is the most incomprehensible thing of all!
It's about burning money and replacing everything upside down. It's not only in movie industries, also in schools and universities. Most ppl are eating sht, watching sht and after that being sht. Welcome to the Endtimes season 6
They don't know anything about Tolkien! Shame on them for butchering his work! Galadriel is married, and Elrond will marry his daughter. So again, shame in amazon! 😡
I don't know what's worse, if they didn't know Elrond was in love with Celebrian and would marry her in the future, or if they did know and just went ahead and filmed this abominable scene anyway.
They say that mother-son incense is the absolute worst kind, as most women who do this have severe psychological problems to begin with, and it does as much or more harm to the son as any other victim. This... is sick.
I mean even Galadriel's uncle Feanor wanted a piece ...and in some versions of the story Celebrimbor who is her distant nephew was in love with her...she was a babe.
This is utterly insane how garbage it is. Someone paid millions of dollars for this. An amount of money that could change lives for so many people, just to make this crap.
Well, the Witcher writers at least had sourcematerial they could use. And Brainless and Brainless of GoT had shown they at least had some talent, adapting JRRM's books. Dumb and Dumber however never managed to get a script into production for 10 years. 10 years of failure. So I am not surprised it is worse.
@@davorzdralo8000 "It would take millions of dollars in funding to keep this dumpster fire adaptation alive" "Tens of millions" "But my lord there is no such investor!" **war horns sound** Amazon:
It is said that Bezos secretly transported his grave to US to power his warehouses through this very show. It was of course approved by the Tolkien estate...
Always looking forward to Nerdrotic's take on this abomination. Just made it through one episode. As a true LOTR fan it just hurt to much. What a waste...
@@TheWatcherxx99 Same, but it's disheartening to read through the comments here and see how many people have watched it. No wonder we keep getting terrible TV. Some people will straight up watch ANYTHING.
Don't watch any more of it. Every view that it gets is another feather in amazon's cap, and they don't deserve to be rewarded for this schlock. If everyone started ignoring it tomorrow, it would go away and fast, because the views and the money would dry up.
and they use Hunter tips, which wouldn't go through armor...heavy AP tips from a long boe direct fire, not ballistic volley, barely go through armor....
And everyone stopped fighting to watch the arrow fly to the place she couldn't have seen from her position, except for the orks that were blown up of course. It's actually insultingly DUMB! The writers should be (and might be if there is any sense left in this world) blacklisted FOR LIFE.
@AdrienMorley-ck4eb shooting an unseen target seems like a possibility for a Noldor, but no way in F is that what they intended. The stranger will be Gandalf and that is when I stop watching.
How can such an expensive show be run so incompetently? They offend Tolkien fans. They offer nothing for potential fans. Who and/or what is this show for?
I would love to see the creators of TRoP producing their version of the bible in a TV show, where Moses is a mongolian Women, Sodom and Gomorrha places of pride, inclusivity and freedom, Jesus a shady trickster and Satan simply misunderstood and a victim of oppression. Mr.Bezos please make it happen 🙏
If there was one thing that would finally get Christians to act like the 10% of the "Religion of Peace" do towards a single entity, that would have to be it.
@@elagabalusrex390 Well $281.9 million in revenue for The Chosen…vs ROP that is actually LOSING money for Amazon. So no lol, that's not true at all. Jeff Bezos is on record saying "ROP isn't about the money, our hearts are in it" - they know what they're doing butchering Tolkiens work and they're fine with it. So if they dared to even try and touch the Bible, it would be one hell of a cursed show.
Elrond shipping for his mother-in-law just confirms that this attempted deconstruction of the mythos is entirely deliberate. No way even these dolts can be this dumb. Tough cheese Paign and McKay because your abomination will be buried without even a footnote.
Considering Dumb and Dumber never got to see a script go into production for 10 years I'd say they are that stupid, and Jar Jar Abrams was more then happy to be rid of them. You cannot make something this stupid deliberately. You have to be stupid to begin with.
@@aliasone9827nah, the marketing department made that up and told them to say it. You could see it in the interviews, they literally practiced to bring that up. It's hilarious, they are trying to use sex appeal to draw viewers into a LOTR show. It's like they have no clue what LOTR is about.
Gary talks in favour of Tolkien canon respect, Disney stock loses another 2 billion in stock price. Producers panic and ask, "Who is this Tolkien guy?", while actors blame "Toxic" audience on X...
I LOVE the production quality of these videos with the little cutaways. Critical Drinker does a fantastic job in describing, in detail, the nuances of a story in a blunt yet subtle (very Scottish) way. But Nerdrotic wins in comedic editing and withering one-liner jabs. Combined, no wonder the pair are almost single handedly taking down WOKE HOLLYWOOD. Hats off to you gents.
Nobody called that muppet Gilga- daddy . That would indicate that someone is watching this show close enough to figure out how he’d look sans makeup , prosthetics and costume . Which , of course , NO ONE is .
As an English man I feel that Amazon is trying to make money off my culture, they wouldn’t do so to an African tribe or Native Americans so why is the mythology of the English and wider Britain any different especially for someone like me who can trace my family back to the Saxons and the Normans. This is my culture, my mythology and a desecration of JRR Tolkiens work.
I wonder if you realize that neither the Saxons nor the Normals were native English? The were late settlers on the British Isles 😂. Proud enough to claim insult but too proud to do any real research.
@@HeliosHarish7uh, so? The English of the current England are mostly Saxons and Normans. It's utterly irrelevant if some other people were there before.
@@HeliosHarish7 Speaking of research, since you obviously do so much of it: Dictionary Definitions from Oxford native /ˈneɪtɪv/ noun a person born in a specified place or associated with a place by birth, whether subsequently resident there or not. So his people might not have been native to the land, but HE is. And that far of a trace back obviously makes them permanent inhabitants. As such, barers of that culture and the heritage that comes from that culture. Just accept not being clever already. It is boring to watch you try to "own" people with nothing.
@davidpartridge3271 New Penguin series are also directed by a woman, but it's still a pretty masculine show. Women CAN direct, but only those who get their job on merit rather than DEI.
Sexist much? The person directing this was the same director for episodes on shogun and the witcher (which people loved). She has plenty of qualifications
@TheDamnEasy lol the witcher? Another source material ruined by a TV series. I haven't seen shogun so can't comment. What they have done to lotr with all the pussy male characters and masculine females is a disgrace.
@@TheDamnEasy I don´t know if its the responsibility of the director but the continuity and logic and geography of the battle was a total mess. There was zero progress, we saw the elves just running around for hours and the same 12 defenders on the battlement doing all the work. And its the same for the orks. As isolated, the action pieces were mostly fine, but they made no sense in the bigger picture.
Hollywood is just so obviously transparent when it comes to their willfully propagandistic anti-art that it'd be impressive if it weren't so insidious and dumb. Also, that Punch-Drunk Love clip in the opening is pure comedy 😂
I don't understand how Hollywood still exists. Do people actually buy into this crap? without the LOTR label, this show would have never made it past 2 episodes. How are the people responsible for making this not fired yet? I just don't understand.... this show is so painfully obviously a crime against humanity
Elrond mourning the death of his horse doesn't make sense. Elves live for centuries. Horses, only a few decades. They must go thru thousands of horses during the course of their lives. Why would the death of this one particular horse cause him grief???
@@StephenMarshall-c1k I'd rather see it cancelled. It will send a message to all these companies,that they can't keep making garbage ,bastardizing beloved stories and getting away with it.
Yep. All part of the double meaning to "Demoralization" that Yuri warned us about. Take away objective morals, and demoralize the people by destroying their stories.
What really really pisses me off here is that Tolkien sketches the bare bones of what could have been a fantastic story. That story is really only there in its basics but goes: Sauron persuades Celebrimbor to create the rings by engaging with his thirst for knowledge and his desire to slow the decline of the elves. Sauron makes the one ring, attacks and nearly destroys the elves but they are saved by the Numenoreans. Sauron is captured but Sauron uses the Numenoreans' fear of death to slowly undermine them and turn them to evil. Numenor attacks the Valar, but is destroyed. Sauron escapes at great cost and relaunches his war against the elves and we move towards the final showdown. How can you not make a great series from this? There is huge scope with even halfway decent writing to create something gripping. There are ebbs and flows, characters who are only vaguely sketched giving the writers scope to do something great with them but at the very least make them interesting. I watched the first series and was so annoyed by the end I cannot bring myself to watch the second series. Every character and every event just seems petty when compared to Tolkien's writing.
I'm still trying to figure out the battlefield, how throwing rocks at a mountain created a dam that cleared a river bed, and why Adar (with kinder gentler Orcs) and the Elves didn't attack together since Sauron is a common enemy.
It's crazy how the 2nd season makes season 8 from GoT look like an improvement. The ''battle'' for Eregion seemed so horrendously bad. I am glad I stopped watching this show; I simply cannot do this to myself any longer and watch how they butcher the universe Tolkien created.
I'm not the book reader but some scenes are very bad logically and doesnt make any sense, for example the greatest king of the elf was not fighting until the fight was gonna end and wasn't on the negociatoin with Adar. So why he's king??

I hate that Amazon has been insulting Lord of the Rings fans with this garbage. But I find it more egregious that they continue to disrespect Tolkien and his legacy. They pervert his characters and stories. And they villainize Tolkien and undermine the experiences he had that led to the creation of Middle-Earth to begin with.
It's unforgivable. It's insufferable. Amazon deserves to lose every dollar they put into this show.
One can only hope.
I agree with everything you just said. I have never watched a single episode of this crap. I only watch videos on youtube. I stick to the books and the Jackson trilogy (LOTR AND Hobbit, because I love the Hobbit movies too), because both are masterpeices but this crap from Amazon is the biggest insult to us Tolkien Fans that has ever been made! They should have used the amount of money for good things instead of that crap...
@philipmartin2919 I know, it's frustrating. Some who defend the show say, "It's okay because the Tolkien Estate supports them!"
Oh, I'm sorry, but is the Tolkien Estate Tolkien himself? No. Therefore, they do not speak for him.
There is always "The Notebook" for you. LOL
I agree. But if Tolkien fans really wanted to twist the knife to amazon, and bury this show in the way it deserves, they would simply stop watching it and talking about it. By even acknowledging its existence they're just drawing more attention to it, and therefore giving it more views, even if they are critical ones. It's like the priest said in The Fifth Element: "Evil begets evil. Shooting it will only make it stronger."

But I suppose I should stop right here and now, the writers of this exceptional fanfic might actually pick up on this brilliant idea
Have you even, just for a second, contemplated the possibility that the east identifies itself as the north in the second age and Dougie Erlond is respecting the right of all directions in the horizon to identify themselves as they friggin please? Bigot!

This whole show is just the peak of Hollywood copying everything that’s come before. The creative bankruptcy is astounding.
O stop with the "Hollywood ruins everything" tired trope. Hollywood creates just as many projects that you love. Including PJ's Trilogy.
CORPORATE BILLIONAIRES who have no business putting their grubby Hedge Fund fingers in the entertainment industry are at fault.
All of HBO has been levelled by a greedy billionaire looking to squeeze every penny for stock buybacks and not the screen.
Ya its really shocking how bad it is. I dont understand how its so bad?
If it makes you feel any better, it will be forgotten twenty years from now. Nothing ages more quickly than pure sensationalism, and ROP is clearly a hollow shell - pretty to look at, but there's no inspiration, sincerity, intellect, heart, or substance in it. Peter Jackson's trilogy, meanwhile, will still be watched by millions 100 years from now.
Pretty sure it was used for money laundering, you can't throw that much money with no content to show up for it. It reminds of these restaurants in Hong Kong which stayed open during Covid with basically an empty restaurant and 50k USD rent per month for two years. No fucking way you make money from it.
No its more like copying everything from the peak of Hollywood and then putting your own bs into as a bonus.
If the show was like Peter Jacksons trilogy i wouldnt mind if they took some ideas.
They keep telling us ugly people are actually beautiful. Nah…
Good god, I hate how my man Celebrimbor looks like a middle school English teacher... I don't know who the fuck this show is even for!
We understand he was under a trance as Sauron manipulated him, but the actor and the way they portrayed Celebrimbor is just sad lol. The guy is always crying and is so gullible. One of the highest and noble blacksmith just ended up being a little B.
The way he looked in my mind’s eye was wise and formidable, this version is laughable.
Modern audiences.
Lol you should see how he’s portrayed in shadow of Mordor vs this
@@Kharonofstyx say what you will about shadow of Mordor and war but to me that is exactly how I imagined celebrimbor
Tolkien likely would have aired his grievances with the Peter Jackson Trilogy using pen and paper. With this show I think he'd instead express his thoughts with the business end of a shotgun.
He fought in the trenches of World War I, I suspect he knew the business end from the butt of rifle. My guess though, is that he would prefer a Lee-Enfield, more precise.
"The Naziguls are back"
Actually Tolkien would have fought with WB to keep Peter Jackson original work most of the changes that doesn't fit the books are by WB not Peter.
lets just stop bringing the author in, we had GRRM and he was shut up. So author would not say shit! stop using his name all the time
I think he would have send them a package that would blow up when opened like how mount doom was created!
I thought Elrond was trying to slip her back the ring 💍 via kiss???? 🤨 not that it would have been any better… but nope it was a “distraction” to hand her a giant pin the size of your palm ✋🏻…. Riiighhtt…..
And then Adar finds her gone, becomes ENRAGED ordering to find her…. Then 2 minutes later he couldn’t care less about her, staring right at her… because he’s too busy crying about orc fathers who won’t go home to their loving babies 🧟♂️

5:59 she falls face first and lands on her belly and somehow the very next frame has her lying on her back. Rings of power in a nutshell
Well, it does not make any sense by design!
@boldisorstefan9020 if you haven't seen episode 8, its loaded with rings of power goodies, like a guy stabbed most certainly to death or very close to death who appears to be without any wounds and has a few scratches to the face.
If that isn't bad enough , someone else decides to fall backwards from the top of a really really really tall cliff ... and survives like its nothing. Supposedly a tree must have broken their fall. Remember when Rambo fell through trees, he got a giant gash in his arm in that film, in this series, nah... we'll bring back folks from the dead. We'll not send dwarves who will show up to save the day in any case even though they weren't dispatched. It's pure comedy genius. A parody within a parody. Amazing

The most badass moment of the battle is when Galadriel steps up and says:

As an Asian myself, seeing an Asian cast in Rings of Power feels so off. It didn't feel right. Im sure the Asian community feels the same. We didn't ask for this unlike the other group. Wink wink.
We didn't ask for it either 😉. I'm a black XX & I liked the original LOTR. I think only 1 Hobbit film was needed, not milked for $$$ into 3.
Btw, Asian guys...are cute 😊!
Yep, this blatant tokenism is so patronizing.
Brown guy here... forcing diversity when it shouldn't be, is cringe AF.
No, the other group didn't ask either. We get told that Black nerds were somehow under attack and marginalized, or that Blacks were angry over there not being 'people of colour' in LOTR.
Seriously, no Blk nerd I know of ever complained like that.
I started laughing when the female Elf looked like Sandra Oh so much I thought it was her.
We Asians have a wealth of mythologies and legends that we don't need token inclusion from the White folks. And I wish we got to see more of African stories and mythologies on major screens, instead of this "one Black for the White hacks under the Amazon lies".

@@BZerpBecause the decision to not waste hours of one’s time watching a show you know is probably doomed, and instead derive comedy and enjoyment instead of snoring… yeah, decision making like that couldn’t possibly be done with though!
@@HannahKayW So be a sheep is what you're saying? Believe what others tell you and do what they want?
@@BZerp "Think for oneself "
I know you are a troll but you aren't very bright are you? Making the decision to not waste ones time on a show that most people with an IQ above room temperature knew would be garbage from the start is thinking for oneself. Gaining enjoyment from others mocking said train wreck in a humorous fashion is reinforcing said decision. Ignoring all the bogus fanfare and lying media that is beholden to Amazon in some fashion is further reinforcement of said decision and proof of free thought. If we only listened to others then why did we choose to ignore the positive reviews for the show?
Here's a novel idea for you; how about you point out a single thing in this video that Nerdrotic blatantly lied about. Did Elrond not kiss his future bride's mother? Did they not repurpose lines / scenes from Jackson's movies? Have they not broken lore over and over again to shoehorn characters into situations they never took part in? The thing you so obviously missed is we aren't just going by what "people say" when they show visual evidence of their claims (ie clips). Again you don't seem to be very smart so you might want to leave the trolling to others better suited.
This might also come as a shock to you but some of us have seen this show and still choose to not watch it and instead be entertained by people that are actually competent at what they do.
@@BZerp Or *gasp* make that decision on your own! A novel concept. It seems in your mind that if you don’t watch the show (watching it, by the way, is something people could also tell you to do) you are a mindless drone, but if you do watch it you’re not? Make it make sense.
Maybe the biggest assasination of IP in history, bigger than Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who
the difference with this and star wars is that Lucas is still alive and chose to give it away. We know Tolkien would hate this but money over morals.
I’ll argue Star Wars has had a bigger IP assassination because there’s just about no coming back from what it’s gone through. Thankfully two seasons of a shit show VERY loosely based the appendices can’t spread too far

All criticism aside and seriously - how can it be that Amazon doesn't draw any conclusions from this disastrously badly written series? Why aren't the scriptwriters, directors and producers fired and replaced? If a series is so stupid and full of mistakes and poorly realized, that would be the obvious thing to do. Especially as these people have driven the most expensive series of all time, i.e. an absolute prestige object, so catastrophically against the wall as is unprecedented in the history of "film" and which makes even Disney, with Acolyte for example, look like geniuses and absolute greats? In my eyes, this is the most incomprehensible thing of all!

native
/ˈneɪtɪv/
noun
a person born in a specified place or associated with a place by birth, whether subsequently resident there or not.
So his people might not have been native to the land, but HE is. And that far of a trace back obviously makes them permanent inhabitants. As such, barers of that culture and the heritage that comes from that culture. Just accept not being clever already. It is boring to watch you try to "own" people with nothing.

The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth.
Yep. All part of the double meaning to "Demoralization" that Yuri warned us about. Take away objective morals, and demoralize the people by destroying their stories.
Yup. Sounds crazy but there's no other explanation
What really really pisses me off here is that Tolkien sketches the bare bones of what could have been a fantastic story. That story is really only there in its basics but goes: Sauron persuades Celebrimbor to create the rings by engaging with his thirst for knowledge and his desire to slow the decline of the elves. Sauron makes the one ring, attacks and nearly destroys the elves but they are saved by the Numenoreans. Sauron is captured but Sauron uses the Numenoreans' fear of death to slowly undermine them and turn them to evil. Numenor attacks the Valar, but is destroyed. Sauron escapes at great cost and relaunches his war against the elves and we move towards the final showdown. How can you not make a great series from this? There is huge scope with even halfway decent writing to create something gripping. There are ebbs and flows, characters who are only vaguely sketched giving the writers scope to do something great with them but at the very least make them interesting. I watched the first series and was so annoyed by the end I cannot bring myself to watch the second series. Every character and every event just seems petty when compared to Tolkien's writing.
I look at Rings of Power like this: if whatever is in the show wasn't written by Tolkien, or his son, then it isn't canon.
this should be obvious lol
@@takuid Believe me, I know. It's just that you'd be *VERY* surprised how many people think that anything ROP is part of Tolkien lore.
I've met his great grandson, one of them I guess. Weird guy. He has nothing to do with this lol but he'd probably do a better job.
It’s hate fiction
Guy Gavriel Kay is also an approved canon writer.
Male and pale is the holy grail!
I'm still trying to figure out the battlefield, how throwing rocks at a mountain created a dam that cleared a river bed, and why Adar (with kinder gentler Orcs) and the Elves didn't attack together since Sauron is a common enemy.
The Elron dude is funky looking and that haircut doesn’t help either. Very bizarre casting in these series.
Yeah, he has a super wide face, and the hairstyle does nothing to balance it out 😂
Agree. He doesn't look like a majestic elf, he looks like a Goblin.
I like him
He's prettier than Morfyyd
wtf kind of name is that anyway?
@@itsaKindaMagik Welsh. It's not their fault English forced their alphabet on them so all their stuff is spelled like shit now :(
It's crazy how the 2nd season makes season 8 from GoT look like an improvement. The ''battle'' for Eregion seemed so horrendously bad. I am glad I stopped watching this show; I simply cannot do this to myself any longer and watch how they butcher the universe Tolkien created.
More and more we see why they waited for Christopher Tolkien to die before making this twaddle. One lawsuit to screw them all!
Gil-Galad has had more impact on Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings that in Rings of Power so far.
They need to add that unused footage back into a 25th anniversary edition.
What is clearly missing so far is a relationship between an orc and an elf
Happening soon in season 3...
Please don't go giving them ideas 😮
That is just so repellent, they'll probably do it next season.
@@deco2gogo do repellent they’ll do it ASAP! 😂
*Lord of the Rainbows" Fellowship of the twinks.
One Ring of Power to ruin it all.
Forged by the Dark Lord Amazon.
Rings of Perves
Would that make Jeff Bezos the lord of the pervs?
'They roll the credits with Cookie Monster Metal'.....mein gott in himmel!
Was wurde denn gespielt?
08:43 HILARIOUS when you see the look on Gandalf’s face 😂😂
I think we all looked like that initially 😂
14:25 so now in middle earth the sun rises on the north 🤔
The sun rises where it needs to. 😄
Well they were waiting for the dwarves to teleport there, so sun is the least of their worries.
The Sun doesn't always rise in the north, SR Stinky. It rises precisely where it means to.
The sea is always right.
I'm not the book reader but some scenes are very bad logically and doesnt make any sense, for example the greatest king of the elf was not fighting until the fight was gonna end and wasn't on the negociatoin with Adar. So why he's king??
Guyladriel: wow you're a great kisser, now marry my daughter 😂
Elrond: That’s not the way your mother did it.
"Just vetting possible suitors, honey! Nothing to worry about!"
I just realized who Celebrimbor reminds of... Judge Judy 😂
"Goodbye grand elf"
Me: *Gary Johnston violently puking*
This is a bad fanfic so Dookie Elrond will get guylatriel preggo with his future daughter/wife!
Yes, then they will be on par with the House of Dragon which bothers them so much 😂
I'm surprised they allowed My Gurl Guh-LAD-REE-EEEELLLLL to be captured.
