Mount Doom Explosion | Rings of Power Episode 6 Clip Scene 

SUBSCRIBE? FOR FRODO!

Next episode: all those with plot armour please stand up.

Never thought despair could look so amazing. After those people got saved by the soldiers i believed in hope then the creation of Mt. Doom happened out of nowhere.

I’m a big fan of Tolkien’s originally published maps. When The Rings of Power included beautiful map transitions, I noticed that the Southlands (Befordor) had towns like Tirharad & Hordern, the tower of Ostirith, and (most strikingly) a river than ran east through them all to the sea; All of which were not included in Tolkien’s map of Mordor. I welcomed the inclusion to support the story, and after watching “Udûn” it suddenly dawned on me: Arondir fell Ositirith, Orcs pillaged Hordern, Waldreg broke the dam- draining the lake, and Adar & Co. rerouted and dried up the river triggering the eruption of Orodruin, which just for good measure wiped Hordern and Tirharad OFF THE MAP! The show just erased its own footprint, so as not to contradict Tolkien’s map of the Third Age. I think that’s really clever!

''Fire glowed amid the smoke. Mount Doom was burning, and a great reek rising. Then at last his gaze was held: wall upon wall, battlement upon battlement, black, immeasurably strong, mountain of iron, gate of steel, tower of adamant, he saw it: Barad-dûr, Fortress of Sauron. All hope left him.''

The Mount Doom was created by Morgoth during the First Age. In unknown moment of First Age, perhaps shortly around the War of Wrath, Shelob left the Nan Dungortheb and settled there with her offspring. Sauron settled in Mordor 1,000 years after the end of the First Age, and it remained the centre of his power for the whole of the Second Age and again at the end of the Third Age of Middle-earth. In the north-western corner of this land stood Mount Doom, where Sauron had forged the One Ring. Near Mount Doom stood Sauron's stronghold Barad-dûr. After this time, Sauron was known as the Dark Lord of Mordor

Thranduil had half his face burnt off by Dragon fire, Galadriel gets an entire volcano in her face but no problem.

so Mount Doom was allowed to be created because Arondir AND Galadriel, the wisest elf in existence, didn’t check under the cloth to make sure it was actually the sword?

I do not know what is the original Tolkien way of creating Mt. Doom, but I absolutely loved this part, it was amazing, the visuals, the sounds, how the whole thing come together. And then you realize this was their plan all alomg and this is how Mordor came to be. This was one of the best ever visual experience for me.

Next 5 episodes are just Galadriel in a burn unit. Good times

Look at the water as it's rushing through the trench. Not even sure if miniature or CGI? Look at the moment of eruption and the edge of the shockwave travelling down the mountain and through the clouds... This is so well done!

I hope this is the last episode, they all died, Sauron won and Tolkien can rest easy because this circus has ended...

Strange how the Southland "king" has some mad relations with the orc commander Then the orc commander staring into space like "wait a minute" Sauron could be helbrand never know Just that wierd relation Also how come the villagers didn't recognize helbrand dispite running away from the Southland's Very strange indeed

Can’t wait for season 2 !

Scorching volcanic heat and suffocating volcanic gas. Galadriel comes out without a scratch. Yeah couldn’t take this show seriously.

So the ancient evil sword was just a key to unlock a dam?

When Galadriel turned back and yelled "GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!!" to all the villagers, I shed a tear of joy. So glad this show is paying homage to Predator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

A volcane just erupted and Mary Sue barely react to it, everyone in despair and she looks almost normaly, until the other elf is terrify by it lol

Guyladriel just standing in front of the blast wow that was cringe. Beautiful CGI but I can’t stand her acting 🤦🏼‍♂️

Go now, my Lord, while there is time There are places below And you know them too I release thee, go My servant you'll be for all time As you command My King

Things work different in middle earth….deal with it……

This was the best episode by far, this ending was SO GOOD!

The moment I saw the mountain and realized it was Mt. Doom - amazing! I had wondered if this was the Uruk/Orc's plans from the start, although I thought they would be funnelling lava/magma to Mt. Doom, not the waters of the Anduin

So that’s where all the money went!

Seriously, NOTHING in this show makes any sense...maybe they should have at least told the extras which direction to run or where the CGI fire was supposed to come from. When the pyroclastic flow hits the village, there are a whole bunch of people just running into the damn wall of fire!! just...facepalm...not to mention how absolutely ridiculous it is that anyone survived that. It's one of the dumbest and most implausible things I've ever seen in a movie or tv show... It's like the town was hit by a nuke, and then afterwards half the people were completely fine, while random people standing next to them were burned to a crisp...The air would also be toxic, so anyone who survived, would have been dead in minutes...but Galadriel and the rest of the plot armor crew just dusted themselves off and then it was like nothing happened..then while there are people crying for help, Galadriel just takes a random boy who is completely fine, and leaves behind Miriel, Elendil, Isildur, Halbrand, her soldiers and everyone else for no reason, and didn't help anyone...and she took Theo away from his mother..They were right there!!! The village had like 4 houses, and Miriel was like a few yards away! and then Miriel get's blinded by a few embers...You would think the huge volcano she just took to the face a minute ago would do more damage than a minor burn but okay.... Then Galadriel leaves to go back a camp way up on a mountain, which just came out of nowhere...they never mentioned or showed a camp, and they came by boats, so why are they on a mountain? oh well...but they need to get there.. why? get this: to find the others!! The people she just left behind to die and fend for themselves...I swear, the writing in this show is sooo fucking bad that it's basically a comedy...

don't think any of us saw that coming 👀 beautiful episode

Yes Galadriel, stand there and do nothing!! Great idea! Pompeii pt 2 I guess lol

ok but they should have at least got poisoned there how are they going to survive it

nobody survived that. not even in a fantasy based story. there are physical rules like gravity or HEAT.

After the war of the ring did the southlands restore back to the way they were?

an absolute colossal scene but it breaks with so many things they should be all dead but we know they are not isildur galadriel should be dead after this but they cant be dead because of the lore

they needed a legendary artifact to open a dam? I mean, they didn't have pickaxes? Make a little hole on the dam and the water will do the rest!

Mt. Doom has awoken.

Yeah, that's not how Mount Doom formed.

I'm not a book reader, nor an have much knowledge about LOTR lore, I have only seen and adore the LOTR trilogy, and although this episode still has some faults, this episode felt more like the LOTR I know, with the music, impending doom, calvalry charge, can someone who has read the books/knows more about the lore confirm this for me?

Why not just make a lever?

that's not how volcanos work

Was epic. I just hope the hate doesn't cancel the show. It's better than nothing. More hate shows like this get means less investment into this genre in the future.

Anyone notice at 4:30, Adar is gone?

😍😍😍✅✅✅

Fly you fools!! 😂 loved this episode

This was pretty cool. But I swear if they have people survive the wave of superheated ash....fun fact, that literally kills you in seconds.

Actually sick I’ll give them that

"Smoke rises from Mt. Doom, the Southlands burned to ash, and so the Land of Mordor is born."

That's absolutely not how volcanoes work.

Sheeeeeeet

This is the Way.

I don’t give a damn what anyone says. This show is gonna be great the further it gets

Wonder how many paid bots are gonna say this episode was sick or a masterpiece. Disgusting

This was really unexpected!!!! just epic

In a real eruption of Doom all will die .

it was all part of his plan !

Ofc mount doom has a fuction ignition switch, kek

I heard this was supposed to be the best episode of the series so I finally gave it a watch. My brother summarized everything that's happened so far and wow man I'm glad I stayed away from this series. If THIS is considered the best episode I can't imagine how dumb the previous episodes must have been. Good CGI and costumes especially the practical orcs, but there are so many dumb occurrences with plot conveniences everywhere. Still, this took the cake 3:38 the way she just blankly stands there looking so bored, starring at an oncoming avalanche of fiery ash lmao oh so brave and genuine. It's like some of these characters KNOW they won't die 😂

What an amazing episode. This series is on track to be something truly special and prove many people wrong.

What a sick scene man

Lore breaking but I liked it

Is Galadriel targaryen? Doesnt she burn?

Great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

Why didn't they just break the dam instead of looking for the sword?

Siiiiiiiiiick. Music was great in this episode, too.

How could she survive this?

Rise of Mordor

I am just dissappointed, Undestructable blood sucking legendary sword, used as a key for opening a dam which can be easily opened with other methods...

Only thing that takes away from this awesome scene was Galadriel’s expressionless derp face in EVERY SINGLE SHOT 😐 a mountain just erupted, show some emotion!

My only question is "how did that massive volume of water get to the -top- of Orodruin?" but I'm gonna write that one down to Rule of Cool

love the cgi but the directing is uncanny af

visually amazing. that's about it.

California?

So 2022 has taught us being a strong powerful wamon allows you to survive being stabbed by Darth Vader multiple times and now in this case taking a volcano eruption to the face means nothing when you have the power of being a wamon on your side.

The rise of mount Doom!!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nice explosions and all. But it can't undo the cheap costumes, the logic faults, the horrible characters like the cruelty of the Haarfoots and Galadriels narcicisstic personality. The awfull dialogues!!! And it copies too much of Lord Of The Rings. I can't understand how people just need memberberries and big happenings to call something so bad great Entertainment...

Es tan, tan ridiculo todo...

The way that it went off was amazing. It's one thing I really enjoyed. Them Living through it... Not so much. I did a Whole science video on it haha. But The way it goes off because of a Massive Body of water was pretty realistic and it's one thing I did really enjoy because I found it Believable.

So it begins...

This is the SILLIEST thing EVER! 😅🤣

so let me get this straight, the sword was the key to start up a friggin volcano??? Ok Amazon you get an extended time out alright

And that's how Mordor was created/formed. Make sense now.

Well that's definitely not how volcanos work...

By the Valar! If there are dozens of flaws in this one scene, I'm afraid to imagine what the rest of the season will look like

Huray, the witch Is dead. We all know why we love this episode

Is this show perfect? Nope. Is it breaking the lore? Yes. Do I like it? Yes

Only good scene after the very first scene

This scene is literally saved the reputation of the show

This was probably the best scene of any current show airing rn this was so sick and the graphics were incredible

Incredible graphics and sound. Truly epic and glad we got to see Mordor before Mordor 🤩

I hate this show. Seriously. If you like this show I wanna fight you. That’s how passionate I am about my rings of Power hatred

Amazon's/Jeff Bezos' approach to Tolkien's masterpiece of fantasy was to hire people who had no real love or knowledge of the Middle Earth lore or canon, glom together pieces of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and the Appendices ignoring timelines and storylines, add made up characters that have no place in the tale and throw a billion dollars worth of CGI at it hoping no one would notice. When everyone who knew anything about Middle Earth noticed, the untalented, PC and woke cast and crew went on the offensive deflecting the justified criticism by attacking the fan base as racist, sexist and bigoted. This was the second clear sign that this project was an abject failure by any standard applied, the first being their own admission that their aim was to "modernize" the tale to appeal to a new audience. In true Hollywood fashion the directors put all of their political baggage and wokeness into a tale about a fantasy pre-history of England that was created by a scholar who devoted a lifetime to develop it in detail greater than any other work of fiction that existed before and certainly since. It was a disastrous formula from the first day. Add to that the bad casting, high school drama club level writing and dialogue, horribly bad editing, confusing timeline compression, complete mish-mash of character development and utter disregard for the canon and lore and you end up with a show that has cutting edge CGI.......and nothing else worthy of mention. They would have been better off making this series 100% CGI and saving three quarters of a billion dollars. TROP is absolute garbage from the first episode. It is not a show that immerses you into the fantasy world of Middle Earth because the characters are so uninspiring and the pace of the story is boring to the point where you simply don't care what's happening you just want it to keep moving in the hope that something good might be coming. So far that has not been the case and we're almost to the end of the first season. This is a clear case of a rich guy thinking his money makes him as much of a literary genius as the true literary genius of Tolkien made Middle Earth. TROP is Bezos' ego on full display destroying the greatest fictional literary work of the 20th century through his complete lack of understanding and love for the tales. The "ner do wells" he hired to help him destroy this masterpiece are all too eager to take his money, stroke his ego and produce a show that has been universally panned by the diehard Tolkien fan base. The reviews have been edited by sites like Rotten Tomatoes to "adjust the numbers" in favor of the show but cannot explain the cavernous gap between their "Tomatometer" rating of 84% (383 critics) and the audience score of 38% (30,393 users). Rotten Tomatoes, and their critic ilk, have lost all credibility here. They have shown themselves to be little more than Amazon shills. In summation, Bezos and his bone-top production cast and crew are a fine example of how money ruins everything it touches. Having money does not make you smarter, more talented or right. It just makes you a more visible asshat. They need to cut their losses and do something far less challenging, more in line with their collective lack of talent like commercials for Wendy's hamburgers or something.

for all these people praising rings of power please go back too she hulk or whatever woke thing gets you going leave tolkiens world alone if i alone could burn down amazon for this i would stop helping the media ruin tolkiens legacy THIS IS COMPLETE TRASH

This whole show is an absolute farce.

wtf have I just watched

This is trash that has nothing to do with the lore. They have bastardised every aspect of the Second Age of Middle Earth, including Mordor.

The sense of this bullshit scene?

I thought for a time that your channel was about denouncing all this crap for how far from the work of Tolkien it was. It seems I was wrong. Bye bye.

It may be a shit TV show but holy fuck it looks amazing

After this eruption and the pyroclastic flow (that can reach temperatures of about 1,000 °C / 1,800 °F) almost all of the characters in the village would be dead - either by severe burns, physical shock or suffocation/poisoning by ash and hot gas (especially Galadrial who took it full front). Congratulation Writers - you killed over half of your entire main cast with this crap. How can anyone defend this - yes I know its fantasy and all of this - but this is so way beyond logic, reason and believability.

She just stares at it…. Like an idiot… how can anyone like this show? Who in their right minds stares at a volcano that is incredibly super frickin hot and heading straight for you… no one would have survived that.

I've read about 50 comments and no one mentioned this could just be a premonition, just like what happened with the queen reagent when numenor was destroyed. idk seeing as how galadriel is wise and can see possible outcomes, its pretty probable.

the writing is so damn bad...

.... that's not what happens when water hits lava.
