This doesn't deserve the name Lord of the Rings.......... The story or characters aren't even the same
Loving this show
Elves are from the forests not the mountains
Aren't there some elves living in the mountains in the Hobbit?
The actors keep showing how they don’t have a strong connection to the source material
Silvan elves are from the forest ie Legolas. But Vanyar elves lived in the mountains of Valinor the Undying Lands.
But even some Silvan elves lived in the mountains.
"For most of them (together with their scattered relations in the hills and mountains) were descended from the ancient tribes that never went to Faerie in the West." (The Hobbit chapter 8.)
The Silmarillon mentions that some Silvan elves moved to the Blue Mountains where Mirkwood is.
This is what i want a goood clip not a trailer with bad music clapped on it
It’s what I think
The music wasn't bad. Unfitting perhaps, but certainly not bad.
@@Jan_ne in fact but does not fit well to the trailer in my opinion
@@Jan_ne Thousands of fans have pointed out how horrible the music for the trailer was. You can live in your own bubble and pretend it is okay. It's also your opinion and frankly I wouldn't take it at face value. If you think that song is good, then I'm going to assume you are NOT an artist or creative. Shut up and complain less.
My favorite part is when Illuvatar tries to explain string theory to Sheldon, beautiful, I cried a lot.
The part of the interview where Morgoth looks to Marty Mcfly and says, "Draw me like one of your Wookie girls" got me so excited, literal chills. Tolkien would be so happy.
@@PraetorianG2004 Zing.
@@PraetorianG2004 you got your rotten tomatoes 99% rating ready cuz YASSSS QUEEN!
Tolkien would be fuming
@@PraetorianG2004 if only someone had told everyone working on the Rings of Trash that.
lmfao
Stunning. He knew what makes lotr incomplete and he provided the answer - by starring as the first elf who is a poc.
Cringe
Stunning ✅
Brave ✅
I feel like the clip they added at the beginning needed a bit more drama in the acting. It felt like he was just repeating the lines. But maybe that is his depiction of his character.
People want an escape from their lives. That's why it's so popular.
“The elves are from the mountains” wtf is he talking about?
Hobbits live in Khazad-dum
@@jspthesecond0723 ents live in harad
a fantastic clip, love the intensity he’s bringing to gil-galad
that dislike ratio
I didn't know Don Lemon's broke looking twin brother was in this 😳
Don Lemon twin????
None of these actors feel like they're from Middle Earth. The faces are soft looking and just doesnt have that grit the Peter Jackson films had.
i can't wait to see galadriel having fun with sauron and some other fictional characters
It's fine if he's cast as an elf. Not all elves have the fair skin + blonde (or silver) hair combo. I mean, Drows are pure ebon-skinned. Most Wood Elves and Wild Elves in D&D are also brown/tanned skin.
Source?
@@solidgator123 Are you asking me ?
@@weilunkang yep
@@solidgator123 You must be a young buck of 35 or less. So you're probably used to today's crappy D&D (5th ed., or something). But I'm from the 1st Ed AD&D era (the BEST edition EVER) where this info. is found in the Unearthed Arcana and the old MM-1 and MM-2
I just finished the series and thought he made a great elf. I was less impressed with Gil galad’s appearance. He doesn’t have the build of an elf, slim and graceful.
Representation < story
“Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin good forces have invented or made”
JRR tolkien
Amazingly accurate
This is not lotr. At all. This feels like vandalism.
lol...the ratio. Everywhere they go, the fandom fights back.
“The fandom” is always the same, like, ten thousand right-wingers. The ones who tried to undermine Black Panther, Captain Marvel, etc. Keep trying! Maybe you will succeed at some point.
@@aslater5 Uhhh we.had no problem with Black Panther because they respected the source material in this case that trashed it.
When Elrond made Galadriel an offer she cant refuse and she straight up refuses it! I did not see that coming, this show looks exciting! Cant wait!
Wait we have our first Hispanic Elf in the "The Rings of Power?" That's new, but hey lots of white girls will invest the new look of this elf. We're no longer to see Orlando Bloom' Legolas look back in the 2000's, now we enjoy the new hot look of the diverse good looking men now!
Yo estoy traumatizado porque nunca me llegó la carta de Hogwarts.
I loved it when Galadriel declared: "There is a tempest in me! I am quadruple vaccinated and six time boosted against Covid-19 and that is why I can do what I can do," - hot tears started streaming down my cheeks. What a truthful telling of Tolkien's masterpiece! So brave and stunning!! 11 out of 10 👌
I got goosebumps when Galadriel said the enemy has many pronouns Just perfect Tolkien!!
Truly epic in the last trailer when Galadriel says to Batman "its not who you are Or what you do, but what skin color and genitals you have, that defines you!" Chills every time!
and Batman replied "End of quote..repeat the line..!" 🤣🤣
The one on the left looks like a Puerto Rican hooah.
This guy is my favorita character fr
You're joking right?
Same he’s awesome
God, everything they say butchers the beautiful myth that is lotr
I hope we don't get yo see season 2, ever.
i hope we do! :D
@@TorbisINACTIVE Same! All these trolls are hating but I'm just excited to see a hopefully good show lol
@@andrewberry7117
Exactly! I've liked what i've seen so far, though i need warming up to the Harfoots (but their theme music is awesome), but otherwise its looked dope. Especially Numenor! Lets just hope the writing holds up, as i'm pretty sure its clear that visuals will!
@@TorbisINACTIVE Dude Numenor looks absolutely mind-blowing... can't wait!
I hope this tanks and destroys Amazon's streaming service
Why do they put him through cringe by talking about how he wasn’t “represented”? As a POC myself I never once thought that I didn’t see myself in the story when watching the Jackson movies - those were life altering movies for me. I don’t think he even thinks this way really nor would I suspect a lot of “non white” people would as well. I would love to hear others’ thoughts on this if you happen to read my comment. Do you genuinely want to see yourself in lord of the rings?
Nope, I'd rather see the characters as Tolkien wrote them, and doing what Tolkien imagined them to do. A nearly one to one representation of his works if you will. The books are a masterpiece, and if I'm not mistaken, the only book more popular in the world is the Holy Bible if I remember correctly. There's already plenty of films and series' out there that depict multiethnic casts and characters in them. For them to wanna see people within a film based on European culture and folklore having their own skin color is just simply looking too closely at little details rather than enjoying what the books are about. That being said, it wouldn't be so bad if they left modern politics out and just stayed humble of being a part of something big like this... and if it were to be a very close representation of what happened in the books. Rather than the the story being 50% or less accurate to the novels.
Edit: Please don't take anything I said as a personal attack. Just wanted to get into detail the things I have a problem with going on with this (hopefully not absolute garbage but probably will be) series.
elck3 you said you're a "POC".
But what race are you? Are you of the same race as Ismael?
And it doesn't makes sense bringing up the Jacksons movie.
@@maryjs4878 Him being a a different race or not than Cordova isn't really relevant
He does it all on his own, it’s literally all he talks about
It began with the forging of the great films. Threads were given by Tolkien, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Rights were granted to Jackson, great miner and craftsman of the mountain of lore. And nine, nine hours were gifted to the race of men, who above all else, desire quality. 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 forged in secret a master flop. And into this show he poured his money, his greed and his will to dominate all film. One show to ruin them all.
That was perfect
@Frank Farian "You haven't seen the full show and you now already the final result." I'm sorry I don't understand broken English, care to repeat that in a more intelligible way?
"The solution is quite simple. Just don't watch it and no harm is done to you." What an incredibly fatuous thing to say.
At what point do these guys realize that they are the new Jar Jar Binks?
The best part is going to be when Galadriel reunites the African American clans of hobbits and they yell trans rights are human rights! Stunning and brake
My anticipation for this epic scene is increasing by the hour!!!
Then the African American dwarf turns towards Galadriel and says "WAKANDA FOREVER"!!!
Chills man, chills!
Why are y'all talking about African Americans?
There aren't any African Americans in this new show.
@@maryjs4878 wow ok racist. Why are you not excited for Galadriel to turn to the dwarves and yell “wakanda forever!”??
Mando!!!
This is so sad.... I really feel sorry for the cast, this is a BIG fail....
Doa
Honestly, you couldnt find a guy who looks less like an elf if you tried.
Me me me me
That is all im getting from him
Please help
SHAMEFUL
"Feel represented", narcissism.
Shame on the directors/Showrunners
I gotta be honest Rings of Power is better than The Hobbit so far.... that's a win
"How does it feel to spit in the face of Tolkien's legacy?"
Bunch of fakers trying to push an agenda on well respected series.
This interview is so forced and awkward (even compared to other Rings of Diversity interviews which is saying a lot)
Pfffft x 2 😂😂
To say it's the biggest flop in history is no understatement.
bro it hasn't even aired you can't call it a flop yet 💀💀
@@andrewberry7117 idk man this is one of the most dead on arrival things I've ever seen. If it's between "definite flop," "definite average," or "definite goat" I'm choosing flop
@@seanwilliams1827 dead on arrival except it hasn't even arrived yet and lots of people are hyped for it... not convinced. Yeah of course it could definitely turn out to be a flop but it would be better to wait and see what happens rather than making confident claims about how it'll perform
@@andrewberry7117 idk if you have family that worked on the show or something but this show has followed the dead on arrival playbook all the way through to this point. The trailers, marketing, interviews of cast or showrunners...there's a reason every trailer gets ratio'd, and the comments are clowning the show. This might've worked in 2015 but people are wiser now that they've seen the playbook this many times in action (also the average Tolkien fan is much smarter than the average Star Wars fan)
@@seanwilliams1827 I've been following the show pretty closely for a while (with a critical eye as well, I was initially fully hating on it) and that's not at all the conclusion I've been coming to... but I could very well be wrong, guess we'll see what ends up happening 🤙
we will never accept this
Why is Doogie Howser MD in this? Didn't that show end before I was born? I have seriously never imagined a worse casting for Elrond if I tried. that is the least dignified looking guy ever. I am so grossed out I cant even keep looking. Im not even going to try and watch.
DOA
“邪惡不能創造任何新事物，它們只能腐蝕和破壞善良力量發明或製造的東西” - J.R.R. 托爾金 (a Tolkien Fan from Taiwan)
Better use a direct quote instead of a re-written and triply translated one
@@cmic_1365 but we have see English version for numerous times
@@sn13314 I just want to point out that the most frequently spammed "quote", even the English version, is not the words written by Tolkien himself. It would be much convincing to show that you are the true fans by quoting the correct sentences.
Rings of Power the show no one wanted, and everyone and their grandmother hates with a passion. 1million+ dislikes vs 10k likes is what we are talking about here. Cancel it now while you can still save some money.
If there was gonna be a darker skinned elf Ismael is the one, his look works well
Acting seems good
Hot garbage incoming
"Evil cannot create anything new, it can only spoil and destroy what good forces have invented or created." - J.R.R. Tolkien the show has failed in basics. Galadriel / Her powers were wisdom, incredible insight and perception to the point of mind reading and foresight, able to read people, making her exceptionally important as a voice and leader . now they turned her into fail version of Xena on steroids. not watchable
A Puerto Rican elf. I’m sure that’s what Tolkien had in mind 👍
Grow up.
Such ignorance.
Terrible
Just awful
Did anyone else see the leaked scene when Galadriel and Pamde team up to fight for Morgoth but then Morbius intervenes with an army of Orcs chanting "IT'S MORBIN' TIME!"?
BOLLOCKS!!
This is so stupid, how can you not relate to a human character. Or are white folks and black folks or any other folks not the same? I gues we are all different, from anatomy.
Yeah... Elrond knows better than most that you don't just make and break oaths. Terrible counsel from Gil-galad.
All these people care about is their budget! It's so frustrating how they have absolutely no regard for what matters.. won't be watching the show
Like? What matters buddy?
@@blairrobert3438 watch PJs lotr trilogy, it'll tell you
@@bagface363 Yeah Ive watched them and read everything Tolkien every year of my adult life. Again what matters to you and what do the showrunners have no regard for?
@@blairrobert3438 Peter Jackson did not try and fill his trilogy with ideas of this world which have no place in middle earth, these guys unfortunately have done just that. Pushing their agenda this taking away all magic from middle earth. Tells you where their minds are when they try to compare it with game if thrones... Sickening
@Liam Miller people did not hate on PJs lotr trilogy before it came out, people were a bit sceptical, but they didn't hate on it. The reason why people are not happy about this rings of power is because Tolkiens work isn't just another book, it means more to the fans than just another story, so don't go changing it!
I doubt these actors can even say "Akallabeth" much less read it, yet here they are talking like they know something about Arda.
Looks like complete garbage.
I'm a brown person. And hispanic elf shouldn't be in this stories. So hope flop I hate force inclusion
tocadiscos5
you said "I'm a brown person. And hispanic elf shouldn't be in this stories."
You're brown but what race are you??
Dude Hispanic isn't a race.
There are black Hispanics.
There are white Hispanics.
There are native American/indigenous Americans Hispanics etc.
@@maryjs4878 ok I'm color of the guy from the video. Hispanics are mix you know I let you know when I do my DNA test how much % of races I have. 😆
@@tocadiscos5 you're saying that you're the same color as the guy in the video?
The guy in the video is an an afro latino.
Now you're an afro latino now?
@@tocadiscos5 you can't say Hispanics are mix, because we all aren't the same race.
Amara la negra and Jennifer lopez are both Hispanic but they aren't the same race.
@@maryjs4878 dude are you serious? You can't be serious. Most of us are are mix with different races mainly Spanish or natives.
Ooooo Negrolas, now that I’m represented I can start to loving Tolkien’s work. O wait, he’s not even a real Latino, can’t even speak Spanish…. Shame on everyone involved on bastardizing the profesor work.
He is a latino, he's from Puerto rico and he does speak Spanish.
You didn't even watch the video clip.
@@maryjs4878 it's garbage
@@Crunch_Buttsteak What's garbage?
He was raised it PR and he’s Spanish I perfect wtf
@@chrissmarie455 Ismael isn't Spainish. Spainsh people are in Spain. Spain is in Europe.
What trash, this show has none of the Tolkiens 2nd age story and actor says this is the begging showing he does not know about the 1st age. By the way I can relate to the characters in The Raid even though I am not an Indonisian swat team member. Uteer Tosh and digsgrace to Tolkien.
atleast a member of production quit life during the dc franchise. hope it repeats itself 😄 and not just the directors daughter
groomers
selfish. gross. rediculous
Can these people even spell Tolkien?

We will create a role for you and give you a real “Tolkienian” name (generated with our own - Amazon-Tolkien-randomised-name-generator -.)
We are still looking for actors to act as Disa's beard and stunt doubles for our female main character Guyladriel (bodyshape of Schwarzenegger prefered , skin color & gender doesn't matter)
You don't got talent ? no worries we will hype you for your diverse qualities in all social media. You'll be the next world changing super star.
How to prepare for the role ? download a copy of our book "RoP: The story Tolkien never wrote" by J D Mc Token, so you can always go back to the book, go back to the book, go back to the book.
Apply now, or at least watch this show....(otherwise we have to call you ...ist and ...phob)
