Rings of Power Review DISASTER - Behind The Scenes Part 1 

The making of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, where Amazon reveal that behind the scenes the show was even worse! This is part 1 of what I think will be a 3 part series (having already recorded the first 4 making of parts). And BOY believe me do you get some absolute gold in this show, from the showrunner himself no less lmao. I dread to think what's in the last 4 parts that I've not watched yet! Also with Disney Plus's willow coming up alongside National Treasure, I think we'll have more reviews soon. So let me know what you thought of what you saw in the video, and which reviews would you prefer to see, willow, national treasure? Both or something else? Let me know your thoughts below and as always, thanks for watching :)

She's been on the same quest for over a thousand years but has gained nothing in the way of wisdom or tact.

It all makes sense now. Whoever wrote this clearly didn’t know what they were doing and the actors didn’t ask questions.

Peter Jackson’s LitR: “to give Galadriel a more ethereal quality, we hunk twinkling lights that would reflect in her eyes- it’s barely noticeable, but it helped to make her seem more magical” Amazon’s the Rings of Power: “we figured our ice troll would be in ice, so we put ice on him. And fur, because we figured ice is cold so what would a troll need if he’s cold? Fur” Yeah, keep hiring based on race, gender and sexuality instead of basing it on skill and merit. It’s working great!

Did anyone else immediately get excited when it said on the thumbnail “pt. 1” seriously, how many stupid things can the writers say? Disparu’s videos are sooo much more entertaining then any of the “Entertainment” coming out now-a-days, lol! Keep up the good work Disparu

Gil-galad: As long as nobody looks for Sauron he won't be doing anything evil Galadriel Finds Sauron and makes him evil Also Galadriel: surprised Pikachu face

You know what annoys me most about the Harfoots? How frequently they reference their damn feet. Hobbits don't talk about their feet. Their idioms don't wax lyrical about their feet. They're just their feet! It's just proof to me that these writers and showrunners don't care even a little bit about the characters and only view them thru purely surface-level characteristics.

People think Saruman scoured The Shire...he actually just hired the Harfoots.

"20 years is an entire lifetime for a dwarf." I'm sorry, what? Dwarves live several centuries, in Tolkien's world. 20 years may not be "the blink of an eye", but it's not a massive portion of their life, either. It's maybe 5%. For a human, it would be the equivalent of not seeing your friend for 3-4 years. A while, to be sure, but not most of your life or anything.

Disparu has really outdone himself this time! One of his funniest videos 😂 Nori actress: "We keep away the predators we don't want." Disparu: "The predators we want are already Harfoots." 🤣🤣🤣 and so much more!

I think it's safe to say the wolf was building up confidence to attack them cuz the fact is he was already aware of how evil they were! Being killed by a harfoot is evidently worse than possibly starving to death. So good on that wolf for being so clever!

Disparu is holding his breath anxiously waiting for RIRI "IRONHEART" to come out now that ROP and SheHulk are in hiatus. He is like the kerosene that needs a dumpster fire to truly flourish

The more they talk about Galadriel, the more I think they crafted her after some mutated version of Feanor. The hot headed elf who rashly acts out against his kindred and dooms many to death. But honestly I think assuming they even know who Feanor is, is giving them WAAAAAY too much credit.

I just finished watching all of the appendices and "making-of" material on the LotR extended edition disks and those interviews showed TONS of people who each had more artistic ability and talent in their little finger than in everyone in the RoP cast and crew combined. You could tell that Peter Jackson and Co. poured their whole souls into the movies. And the final project attests to that! RoP just seems like an assembly line operation to produce the next product for us to consume. These interviews were so shallow and devoid of heart.

I don't know what I would do without your and AZ's breakdowns of all of this horrible "entertainment" - you just get funnier and funnier.

Rings of Power, the gift that keeps on giving. Comedy gold . If Christopher Guest of Spinal Tap fame needs inspiration for a mockumentary based around a fantasy series then this is it.

I mean, Sauron found Galadriel in the middle of the ocean. What? And why him? This show feels like it's a highschool production/dramatization. I could easily make a more coherent story, and I don't even write professionally for a living. Apparently, these writers shouldn't either.

The actress's personality is much better than her fictional character. I have seen interviews with her, she is more humble, more cheery and more fun than Galadriel is in this show. Writers should enhance characters, here, they just held her back.

This just makes me want to sit down and watch all 20+ hours of the BTS material from the Jackson trilogy, all over again.

“Elves sink” she’s a witch!!

On an 1992 interview with arsinio hall, Galadriel was asked if she ever cried. Her response was, it’s okay for macho woman to show every emotion available because I’ve cried a thousand times and I’ll cry some more,”. “But I’ve soared with the eagles and I’ve slithered with the snakes, and I’ve been everywhere in between and I’m gonna tell you something right now: There’s one guarantee in life - there are no guarantees

How is it that Morfydd has such a lovely smile and yet that one scene in the show was downright horrific. I thought that she was just incapable but now I'm thinking that the direction was just really THAT bad.

In Morfydd Clark's defense, as a plank of wood I totally believe that sinking is something totally foreign to her. So she must think it's an elf thing.

Never saw it, won't see it BUT I would never miss a Disparu review!

Sergio Leone used about 6 minutes of screen time to tell us all we needed to know about "The Good," "The Bad," and "The Ugly," and then send all three on a compelling treasure hunt. But then, he wasn't a talentless hack using the entire "first season" to set up some 2nd or 3rd season payoff....

Also Bronwyn felt like she had to protect her son? Can we clarify the first time we meet the family she goes off with the elf leaving him behind?

Just read the section about the return of Sauron in the new "Fall of Numenor" book where Tolkien explicitly says no one knew what happened to Sauron after he disappeared. When they first knew of a vague evil in the east, they did not know it was Sauron. But...

From she hulk to rings, this is what I've been waiting for! You sir never disappoint :')

"Friendships! Not 'friends with benefits'!" 🤣 Wait till you get to Durin telling Elrond "Give me the meat! Give it to me raw!"

The movie "Kung Pow" has a scene that I think expresses just what my takeaway from the showrunners on their thought process was: "Okay, so here were my options. A, quickly duck sideways, dodge the claw, then take him out with a spinning back kick, or B, take the claw in the face, then roll on the ground and die." [action resumes; Tang gets hit with the claw] "Hmm, should have gone with A...." He can say all that he wants about their taking time to make everyone combat ready and trained, the few fights that all 5'2" of Morfydd Clark has that isn't against some CGI boogeyman are with obvious stuntmen who are super accommodating. You can almost literally see that guy in the Numinorrrrrian marketplace go "So is this where I let go of my sword and hand it to you"? Is it later?" not to mention the two "guards" who walk into the cell and are all like: "Is this far enough? should we move back further?" It's right up there with that scene in Mortal Kombat where Johnny Cage is fighting those guys in the suits and punches one, kicks him and stands there and goes: "This is where you fall down." and the guy blinks then willfully tosses himself backwards to land on his back on the floor. If this is the level of behind the scenes they're willing to admit to and show us, just imagine the horror they cut out. Keep up the good work Disparu!

Aw, that smile on the actress’s face was better than anything shown in the series; such a shame.

So what will Rings of Power be about? Directors: I dunno. Wing it.

Seeing Gal's actress in interviews is my biggest gripe with the series, and there are too many gripes to count. She seems to ooze charisma off screen, so how the heck was the directing so bad that she was such an insufferable beast of burden on screen? I feel like the director had to tell her every three seconds, "Stop seeming human! You have to sell how charismatic she is! Give us resting b**** face!"

The Harfoots sure did hide from water and soap. And because elves sink, Do they only see darkness?

Thanks to this behind the scenes peak we can see exactly where the Amazon money was spent. On whatever drug they spiked the cast and crew with to make them hallucinate this being a complex show with depth. With interviews like these how could they _not_ be tripping?

Tolkien was a master of the English language. Couldn't we even find a native English speaker to write this?

16:34 Yessss! They made a ton of art for this show which looks spectacular; you can tell the artist loves Tolkien and understands the feel of this world, You can tell the people making it don't care because they threw away every single good idea or piece of source material they had

"Her journey is finding herself." What? Human villager in Blue didn't have a journey. Shes exactly the same at the beginning and the end, just more of her people are dead because of her and their stupidity. She doesn't get any training or anything, she can just miraculously fight and kill stuff super easy and has less remorse of it than Lara Croft in the reboot.

When Galadrrrriel was sinking in the sea (the sea is always right) by their logic she must have been looking down (like a stone), and Halbrauron must have been looking up (like a ship) to save her.

When the director started talking about empathy between races in Middle Earth (and presumably elsewhere), I realized that he has empathy backwards. Relationships don’t start with empathy-characters/people share a goal, and in working toward that goal *together*, they develop empathy and camaraderie with each other. The reason these character feel contrived, like they’re fake people, is because the director told everyone, “Hey, you’re friends! Be empathetic!” But he didn’t give them a reason to have developed those deep-seated feelings toward one another. We’re just given a quick backstory and told to accept it, without proof of that shared history. It’s less about “you didn’t do (and thus I resent you)” and more about “you did do (and thus I trust you).” As a counterexample, take Gimli and Legolas. They distrusted each other due to long-standing grudges that each race held against the other. But in their shared goal to destroy the Ring, they developed trust and fondness for one another because they had to work together and depend on one another, else the Ring would never be destroyed and the Free People of Middle Earth would perish.

at least you can't deny they followed what they wrote : if our girl Galadriel didn't search for Sauron, he would've retired and nothing else would've happened she ruined everything lol

A better bit for the frozen trolls would be like this: Character chases rabbit. Rabbit runs into hole in snow pile. Character tries digging into pile of snow and ice. Snow pile is *sleeping troll* and Character just hit it. Troll fight ensues.

They actually Greenlit season two for wheel of Time I guess clown world is real

That "he doesn't breath through his mouth because he's underground" statement does raise a lot of questions. XD

A 1,000 year quest to find Sauron? What, did she just circle Middle Earth every couple of years or so? And she didn't find anything?

Aragorn is smiling kindly upon you from out of your hoodie - well done.

"Looks like meats back on the menu boys!"

After watching the behind the scenes, im sure, 50% of the production cost went into drug therapies and psychologists even before they shot the first scene. Yeah, drowning rly made me feel like an elve...holy s hit... Some massive conversations later, we decided to put a bit ice on the troll who lives at a frozen place...what a genius! oh and also some hair with ice in it. This action scene was so incredible difficult, i had to move my arm! The see is always right!

"Bronwyn spoke to me because her journey is really finding herself," is 100% unadulterated NPC-speak. As with She/Her-Hulk, if this was actually a really clever meta-troll, and we were watching a Spın̈al Tap style satirical mockumentary about it... how would we even tell?

I feel sorry for these people. They've all the money in the world and yet they can't make anything more complex than ice trolls have ice on them.

That point you made about the woman with a child killing the orc was spot on... It really undervalues them as a threat and makes them less menacing if they are so simple to kill. I wonder if the writers ever considered this when they were writing their girl boss characters... (Press X for doubt.)

I love how they talked about the production of this so seriously... I would've just been laughing the whole time at how much of a fking joke this show was lol.

I haven't seen a comment for it yet, so I'll just point out that the 'Energizer Bunny' comment caught me off guard and caused me to laugh uncontrollably for a good 5 minutes. Also I love the Aragorn shirt!

“He looks like a member of BTS! Somebody give that guy a beard.” I’m dying 😂

The sea is always right, that's why I pray for rain...everyday.

The story of Kullervo was written by JRRR Tolkien between 1912-1916 after he read the Finnish Kalevala. After Finnish folk tales were collected and published they inspired a great spirit of Finnish nationalism and fostered the country's bid for independence from Sweden. When published in English in the late 19th century, Tolkien was so impressed by them he resolved to create a mythology for England, which he felt had been lost due to the numerous invasions of the British Isles over the centuries. Although he never completed his Kullervo, it later formed the basis of his Children of Hurin storyline, so central to the Silmarillion. This is what Tolkien was referring to in his letter about him wanting to "draw some of the great tales in fullness, and leave many only placed in the scheme, and sketched. The cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave scope for other minds and hands, wielding paint and music and drama." The Finnish Kalevala inspired Finnish artists like classical composer Jean Sibelius and famous painter Akseli Gallen-Kallela to bring the Kalevala into music form and into painting. What Tolkien found "absurd" in his attempt to achieve the same result with his "mythology of England" was that he alone was trying to achieve a nationalistic, mythic, Ethnic identity of England by writing pseudo-myth inspired by other sources, whereas those sources, unlike his own mythology, had existed for hundreds of years like the Greek, Roman, Germanic, and Celtic stories, and in a special place in Tolkien's heart were the Finnish stories. Whether Tolkien succeeded or not will become apparent if and when the English people will finally wake up from their slumber and realize their Ethnic and national identity before it is too late.

Wow. Morfydd talking as herself seems more like a real person than Galadriel does. What's up with that?

Oooh, show me just how room temp the IQs of the makers is. (As if I can’t guess from the show itself.) Edit: the sad thing is they probably think they’re doing really cool foreshadowing (FORESHADOWING!) with a wolf that comes on screen for a few seconds and then several weeks later DIFFERENT wolves attack.

He definitely deserves a million subs.

5:03 The ice on the tr*ll thing reminds me a lot of the Call of Duty: Ghosts trailer years back. "We have it so that the fish move out of the way when you get near them".

Only 0:13 seconds into the video and the actual director unintentionally pronounces her name “Guy-ladriel” just like Gary… weeew lawrd. this gonna be good.

I'm not the type of person who would normally say something like this, but every time I see a clip from the rings of power, I think to myself! I could write a better story than this!

Are the Harfoots hiding from dangers, or are the dangers hiding from the Harfoots?

They certainly weren't concerned about the feelings of hundreds of millions of Die Hard Tolkien fans when they COMPLETELY BUTCHERED the Source material for which they clearly lacked all understanding of at the most fundamental level! Or all the ways they COMPLETELY WRECKED the Timeline! Or all the many ways they changed key characters in the most disrespectful of ways! They should have showed reverence and respect for the source material but instead treated it like a dirty diaper! Something they felt entitled to just completely toss out all together! I hope they lost a fortune on this. Personally, I think the Tolkien estate should sue them for screwing with the story and timeline as much as they did. Especially, seeing as it was widely reported that they were not supposed to be allowed to make any significant changes that would affect the main story. Something for which they did so time and time again! This show is AN ABSOLUTE ABOMINATION!!

That whole analogy about the boat and the stone makes no bloody sense whatsoever. I don’t even Shakespeare could dissect this

There is absolutely nothing that these slap dog actors can do to convince me to watch Rings of Girl Power. They keep tarnishing their image by hating on us fans. Only a public apology and quitting from the show can save them. Great video Disparu! Btw when are you coming back to FNT?

Also please do more of this because watching the your comments on the Rings of Power always bring me a smile! Can't wait for season 2 hilarity!

Watching the 'behind the scenes' welds home the fact that if these same people "produced" alcohol : it would have a weird smell , a oil-sheen on water kind of visual interest that might tempt one to drink the "sweetness" that numbs the tongue , brings the cough , blinds the eye and contains the very essence that stops the heart...dead; the painfully dead dis-interaction, like drinking radiator fluid and then calling the flopping spasms of massive organ failure dancing

I love it how the dwarf is wearing crocs just because he doesn't absolutely have to wear his full outfit at 15:20. Now that's a level of commitment I'd expect from people working on RoP. It's always so interesting to see making ofs for some incredible films and shows because there's always an insane level of attention to detail, meanwhile over here people won't even fucking put on their costumes because someone told them they might get away with wearing crocs instead.

Not even drugs made me think I was a waterbender

When she was sinking, why didn't she just look up? Works for boats, right? Also, "what are you gonna do with that, butter him?" FUCKING KILLED ME.

Do Harfoot wagon wheels not leave marks to follow? Wagons following one after another would make it obvious to even the dumbest of trackers.

"Did we really need to see a foot on screen for that long?". I certainly not, but Quentin Tarantino may have a word about that. 🤣

I enjoy your videos more than the actual series you cover. As an assistant director I feel like your commentary should be mandatory watching for my peers lol

I thought she said "BELLY Dancer" but then realized it was her accent that made "BALLET" sound like that. 😂

This Series is a wasted Opportunity! Sauron was supposed to be a (pseudo) Promethean figure generating religious engineering through displaying powers and knowledge to prehistoric men in Middle-earth. He should be a mix of Mephistopheles from Goethe's Faust + Azazel from the book of Enoch + Asmodeus from the Ring of Solomon + Lúcifer from Paradise Lost. In the Series he was a garbage mystery box. Galadriel was supposed to be a sage and a political opponent of Annatar's reformist ideas. She should be philosopher-queen. In the series she was a Karen. Numenor was supposed to be a discussion about death vs life vs human nature vs immortality. In the series we had "Make Númenor Great Again". Wtf. They should show the south and the east of Middle-earth inspired, like Tolkien said in an interview in 1966, in Africa (Ethiopia and Saracens to Harad) and Asia (China and Japan to Rhûn). But no! We had just one black elf, one black hobbit and one black Númenórean queen.

this is pure gold. i kinda like the show is bad because i would never find this channel otherwise.

Saar chasm: "The 'Schlossberghöhlen' in Homburg are located below the ruins of the Hohenburg Castle and are Europe's largest man-made mottled sandstone caves"

This was great, again! So looking forward to part 2.

First.... and First time watching your vedio... Here from FNT... Hope u grow a lot... Good luck bro.. love your content..

Keep doing what your doing! Great work!

The troll designer is so proud of his design, going into details and backstory of how the trolls sleep in there for so long, the ice creates a civillization on its back... then it gets fucked for like 5 minutes and never be used again until the end of the universe

anyone else catch the bit where the guy with the accent at the start says Galadriel goes from a little girl to the Second Age in ten years?

Last time I went on a boat, a huge storm hit. So I tide myself to the boat! AHA, got you storm...I drowned

I will be so disappointed if Rings of Power fails. Disparu is on fire here! Does Jeff Bezos realize that HE isn't making any money on this series but Disparu is, LOL?

Morfydd...As a kid, i used to think i was manipulating water when i was in the shower and i could make water "shoot"" out of my pinkie finger, but did it make me feel like an "elf"? No. No, it did not.

Each one of these episodes required a joint before, two joints during, and a joint afterwards. My weed budget during those eight weeks was outrageous.

the actress looks so pretty smiling, why did they made her act so toxic?

22:08 *”It’s amazing how he contorts his body…”* _{proceeds to show him standing like a typical senior citizen}._ 🤣🤦‍♀️

The showrunner was sitting under Celebrimbor's umbrella. XD

If you had a drink every time a cast member spouted bullshit, you’d be drunk by the 5 min., mark of this miserable ‘ behind The Scenes’ debacle

I never thought I would be putting more thought into my D&D stories, than the entire crew of a multi million tv show. And what is it with there English. It is like it is not their first language. What language are they speaking in Hollywood? "The planting of a world"? Why not planning of a world, or creating a world? Who plant a world?

Loved the Angel reference mate!

Dude. I love your sarcastic dumb character voice thing you do. Cracks me up. I’ve started imitating it around people that act dumb.

Writers in 2022 think viewers are barely comprehending children who need their hand held through one of the most basic forms of storytelling

They're literally trying to gaslight us into thinking this wasn't a colossal failure by doing all the things that would be done with a successful series or movie. Behind the scenes, the making of etc. Who's really going to watch this shit?

I don't have words for the miscasting of Gil Galad. It's GIL GALAD ffs.

When your actors and writers make the Romeo and Juliet interpretation in Hot Fuzz look truly Shakespearean you may have jumped the shark.

"Yeah I have a son but I want him to piss off and die." 🤣🤣🤣 What a phrase for a t-shirt.

Nice, a desparu video, ✌️👍
