"Do you have any plans?" "....well, I did."

Silence of this channel during season 2 was deafening.. so glad we are getting the platoons analysis on this abomination 😅

I hope your review of season 2 comes soon. I am *burning* to hear your response to the orcs firing a trebuchet at a mountain…instead of the castle wall they’re ostensibly sieging.

If they couldn’t buy the rights to the silmarillion then they shouldn’t have made a show about events set in the silmarillion in the first place.

Elrond talking to his wife one night, "you know i kissed your mom once, its a bit complicated, but she was a good kisser." Arwen and Aragorn gotta sit there and listen to that story with gramma Galadriel right there trying to eat her soup. gandalf sitting there desperately trying to light his pipe rather then be involved in this awkward situation at dinner. bilbo trying to cover frodo's ears to save him from the scandal, sam is horrified while merry and pipin think its funny as shit. meanwhile celeborn is just not in a good mood at the moment, and glorfindel just left the room out of embarrassment

Woohoo! Awaiting the little platoon's review is the entire reason I get excited when Disney or Amazon announces another upcoming dumpster fire.

Oh my god! Okay, it's happening. Everybody stay calm. Everybody stay calm! STAY FUCKING CALM! EVERYBODY FUCKING CALM DOWN!!!

So it begins.

The inclusion of Tolkiens notes on the matter, something very few, potentially almost no one knew about, is nearly heroism level good. It was like hearing a speech from the General at the end of the war.

a shortlived discount Mulan took twice as many arrows as Boromir and was still able to fight 😮 That must be some powerful rice in Middle Earth 🍚

Of the professor’s work was a mock’ry made His very legacy betrayed By those descended of his line And his wondrous world was made entwined With dreadful writers who loudly dared To take their fanfic and compared It with that of Tolkien’s lore His fantastic stories and tales of yore And dismiss did they the outraged cries Of those who saw it and despised This desecration of something great Saying the reason for all the hate Was the evil utterings of twisted minds, Bigots angered that they did find That non-white actors were on screen And that women led some scenes No mention of how they ruined lore Or wrecked the characters made long before Either of them was given birth And still now they plunder Middle Earth.

This better be looong... 😊

Now we can stop nagging you about season 1 to nag you about Dune.

It's happening, oh my god, everybody keep calm❤❤❤❤

Wow, no wonder this took over two years. 5+ hours for just three eps seems like a good solid Platoon length. So I guess we can expect S2 to be finished by my 40th birthday in 2027. Seriously, though, I'm impressed you managed to get this one out while S2 is still going. Should help with the algorithm a lot.;)

Oh how I long for the simple days of season 1 of ROP when the insanity was still fresh and you could get some twisted kind of enjoyment out of it. Nowadays it's boringly bad and the few good performances make you just more aware of how horribly conceptualized and written the show is. Almost an 1 hour in and so far it's a really brilliant analysis. I do disagree though a bit with your take on Adar and the orcs. At the moment (S1E4) they're fine. While Tolkien calls them "naturally bad" in one of his letters, we shouldn't forget that they were also the victims of the Dark Lord (first Morgoth, then Sauron) and thus deserve pity though not sympathy. They also in my mind represent the worst traits of humankind just as the Elves represent the highest traits of humankind, so introducing a bridge between the two in Adar, who is capable of and does show real compassion, is actually non-awful idea. And even in season 1 there was ever any attempt to make them morally grey. They were the bad guys, attacking and enslaving innocents with the ultimate goal of taking over and corrupting their lands. Also Tolkien mentions I believe in the Nature of Middle-earth (one very recent book) that Sauron actually failed to gain the loyalty of more remote orc tribes, so it idea of them trying to form independent fiefs isn't that absurd. Gorbag and Shagrat talk about it in Lotr. Then of course season 2 came around and introduced orc-families. So in the end it becomes yet another distraction as you said minor nitpicks: - I wouldn't really call Mordor uninhabitable. Sure the Plateau of Gorgoroth and Udun would always have been a shithole, but the southern part (Nurn) is fertile enough to support Sauron's armies. - The Annatar form was something Sauron specifically adopted to fool the elves of Eregion. At that time he was already in full world domination mode. What his form looked like in the (comparatively) brief period after Morgoth's defeat when he thought of repenting, we do not know More TBA

How many people shouted "ISILDUR!!" when they saw the title?

Joining any other premier 3hrs in: "Oh man I'm late, its almost over!" Joining a Little Platoon Premiere 3hrs in: "Oh good I'm still early."

Eight hours and counting

rings of power is likely the worse written fanfiction i have ever seen, and im including a fanfiction for star trek written by a 12 year old in the 90's for his friends weekend gaming get together in his moms basement I was subjected to reading and pretending to love.

Jeff bezos: no!

well, there goes my sunday night...

Platoon's fashionably late Rings of Power video is the only way anyone would rewatch this season.

My ears are prepped for hours of bliss! Listening to the dulcet tones of LP while he flays this garbage show is a dream come true! 🥰

Star Trek (TOS) episode 322 "The Savage Curtain" explained, in very simple terms, the difference between good and evil. I was 5 years old at the time I first saw it, and I got it. When the alien questioned Kirk regarding the difference between good (Kirk, Spock, Lincoln, and Surak) and evil (Col. Green, Kahless, Genghis Khan and Zora). They use the same methods, and achieve the same results, so what's the difference? Kirk says that the alien set up the methods and the goals. Then Kirk asks, What did you promise team evil? What they wanted most... POWER. You offered me the lives of my crew. If the writers of RoP won't read Tolkien, take an hour and watch a Star Trek or two through the eyes of a 5 year old. It may be simple, but then, being simple themselves, at least they might actually begin to understand that there IS a difference between good and evil. You can't adapt a morality tale while ignoring, or being oblivious to morality.

AY UP LITTLE PLATOON

After all these years, hearing the passage of the Oath of Fëanor gives me chills. The Valar were not some vague entity the Noldor suspected about, they've met them(at least in some shape or form) and lived in what is basically paradise. Yet they swore a terrible oath of pure pride and ultimate defiance. Whatever happened later, one must bow before such balls of pure mythril

It's hilarious to watch the wokies try to inject anti-black racism in ROP by ruining the elves instead of just focusing on the Orcs, who actually fulfil their role as Wakandans perfectly😂

I love it when you read from the actual sources (Silmarillion). Few rarely do in their critiques.

tfw you're vibin but she says there's a storm within her

I accidentally zoomed in on the thumbnail pic on my phone and now I’m going to have nightmares.

God bless gajin and warthunder for bankrolling the death of amazon!

Bring it on!!!!😅

Im about to go number 3 im so excited for this.

A friend of mine who was a guitarist for some well known rock groups in the 60s told me about when he met one of the big music producer he said something about the artistic quality of the music/messages. The producer said matter of factly that it has nothing to do about art. He's interested in troughs of swill for pigs. If you can find the slop that all pigs will run to guzzle w/o pause for the cheapest ingredients then that's how he wins. (my friend really hated that but he had a role similar to a writer/actor) I've been reminded of that frequently during this era of RoP, Agatha etc etc. Hoping that the producers realize woke slop is repellant to all but the few mutant pigs! Great long form review LP!

Had the Zimmerman script been filmed, the English would see resulting movie the way we Poles think of 1962 adaptation of With Fire and Sword. That's a cannonball-size bullet to dodge.

Let the people Who made Lurd Of Rang Goolem Make a Rings of Power game, insist its made by the same people, but make every character crawl around and talk like gollum. Dont fix anything, its perfect.

Platoon will review absolutely every bad thing east of Valinor before finishing his DUNE review.

The problem seems to be discomfort with presenting absolute evil as a "what if?" element of the story. We simply don't have meaningful fantasy or science fiction unless we are willing to entertain and take seriously these kinds of imaginative propositions.

In my country it is difficult to have a spicy chicken sandwich promo without brawls breaking out among elves.

I made a mistake in a webcomic I write, where a character in one city can easily make out a battle that is happening in a city that is miles away. I also stated that the armies in the battle were made up of little more than a thousand people. At the time, I felt like I could give arbitrary numbers for the size of armies and distances between cities, and as a result, I now have to commit to my setting being much smaller than I intended, if I want it's events to make any sense. What was supposed to be a great country has to be extremely small in scope, and its because I didn't care about seemingly minor details. Never let anyone say that something is a nitpick if it actually has huge implications for the world of the story.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="595">9:55</a> about the first draft. What would you say about material that is edited out of a movie primarily or time or facing but was something he wanted to include. My favorite is the scene where we actually find out who the heck Bigs and that the empire is socialistic and his nationalizing businesses.

Finally….I thought you committed harakiri with a butter knife watching the show….glad you didn’t 😊❤

No, your English ancestors used cranes to get horses on ships. It is the best way to get them in the ship's hold as horses really don't like stairs and don't corner well.

No, what are we gonna nagh him about now?

it took 2 years to get over the disgust you felt after your initial review, mr. platoon sir?

Why is this "part 3"? It's the first vid on the second season right? I don't want to miss out on any video of yours on this piece of crap 😂

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="71">1:11</a>:44 the out of order story telling is another reason that I think it was written by ai.

After two long Years

Oh you really do have a will made of steel. Fair play. 👏

The little platoon and I adopted an orc and named him mork 👹

I love you

This is so appreciated Ploots. ❤

Still out before Winds of Winter

14 hours of the acolyte later

Yay!!!!! Notifications added

Just purchased the only merchandise available for Amazon’s rings of power on Amazon prime. Can’t wait till I receive my 1/16 scale JD Paine and Patrick McKay action figure dolls. Each is anatomically correct and comes with a string you pull and they say “back to the books back to the books back to the books” and then they butt fuck each other.

Platoon is the Best

I put the video up (30 minutes late) so I had something to listen to as I walked 4km to the cinema for mystery movie night. I watched the previews. Adds. The first half of Longing, a 15 minute break, and the second part of the movie. Then spend a few minutes talking about the movie with a staff member. And now I'm walking back and the video is still going. Well done.

Oh my goodness thank you little platoon! I was starting to halucinate mirages of videos from you when scrolling youtube. Have missed hearing your voice (no not that simp way...the intelectual way).

Nitpicking here, but immortality is Eru’s design for the Quendi and not a gift from the Valar as their fate is intertwined with that of the Earth. The Gift is given to His second born Men, a Gift that even the Powers will eventually grow to envy.

WAr Thynder? Really, Lil Platoon? I know it matches up with the name, but WT is, umm, not quality.

The whole point of being one of the faithful kings was that you would not cling to life and would give it up long before you became a dotard. So why is Miriel's father a dotard clinging on to life? Back to the books.

"From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak I fought the Bezos of Amazon. Until at last, I threw down his abomination and smout its ruin across the far reaches of the Internet."

Please Mister Platoon, can ou give us a link to Tolkiens critique of the screenplay that you read from? It would be most useful when discussing ROP with wokies.

Lord Posh! Yes! This just made my Sunday. Thank you for your service. I'm sure rewatching, writing, editing, and uploading has taken its toll. Please take care of yourself.

Galadrrriel fucked over everyone in Middle-Earth for the next Age, and the writers did that by accident 🤣🤣🤣

How long is this going to be XD

Good god, I was rewatching the first parts and was like "wdym he never finished it???" Then this drops

Finally!!! 🍻🍻🍻🍻ps… thank you Platoon for giving me gut busting laughter and an all around great narration to listen to whilst installing steel roofing.

Your previous RoP videos talking abt the lore breaks actually made me really interested in the actual story and start the Silmarillion again! (i was like twelve the first time i tried and did not even get three pages in) its been great so far so thank u

Thank you that's all I'm going to say because this fanfiction billion dollar show is a hot mess and deserves all the mockery

The army of the dead was the dumbest thing of the Jackson films.

Reading books sucks, I'm threatening Frank Herbert.

Perhaps we ought to ask every executive of disney…what is evil? They should at least be aware since they have a tendency to sensationalize it

It's finally upon us! The fact that I'm anticipating this review more than the source material is a tragedy.

Platoon just doesn't like ghay stuff. It's not for him... oh wait.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1748">29:08</a> didn't think I would see a reference to that movie adaptation in this video, nor ever again to be frank.

I might have to fire up War Thunder again after a year or so away. I still have a few trees I need to complete.

Kudos to your editor, he's doing fantastic work.

The interpolated shot of Jackson polishing his Oscars 🤣

Man, I wish I’d know Tolkien wrote such a letter before I did my Hunger Games video 🫤

I’m very grateful for this. Truly, the best analysis of this abominable show I’ve seen, both in relation to Tolkien and on the show’s own merits (or ‘merits’ I should say). Unfortunately, it brings out some strong feelings against certain Tolkien scholars whom I used to trust and respect.

Oh my god I have been waiting so long for this.

As it was foretold, it shall come to pass. Part three is upon us.

Your brain must need days of rest after so much exertion!

What can true fans do against such reckless hate?

Exciting was just wondering what id do tonight

Kept you waiting, huh?

High quality. Nice

It's platoonin' time

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1882">31:22</a> savage don lemon joke

I vote we all pitch in and kickstart an audiobook of @thelittleplatoon reading everything Tolkien wrote

Amazing vid as usual
