Rings of Power Season 2 - Angry Trailer Reaction! 

"The only video I wanna see from them is a f*cking apology" - could not have said it better Alex!

Imagine thinking you can write Lord of the Rings better than Tolkien

“Nobody goes off trail and nobody walks alone.” Abandons them when they can’t keep up.

I am ready for another 6 hours of angry joe meltdowns! 💪

Sauron : " and I would've gotten away with it if it hadn't been for you meddling elves"

Deep in the land of Hollywood, in the studios of greedy corporations, the Dark Lord Amazon forged a horrible show, and into this show Amazon poured its cruelty, its malice and its will to piss off all of LOTR fandom. One show to piss them all off.

"Somehow Sauron has returned"

Halbrand with a wig and pointy ears for sure will deceive everyone.

"Now THIS is rings of power!" - Galadriel Skywalker

I might be wrong, but I don't remember seeing a single Harfoot in the trailer. Here's to hoping they got edited out, 🙏🏻

Ahhh the old Clark Kent disguise. Ingenious, Hairbrand, Ingenious.

Wait till Galadriel gets the power armour from Fallout to fight the orcs. After the dwarves get their Ring Pops of power.

I hope the elves shout "He's a man! not a god! come on comrades!" When they fight Hallbrand.

Alex said, "It can always go deeper." In the most sadden, hurt, Middle Earth Lore broken voice.

Alex looks soo defeated and still Joe is gonna drag him through it is hilarious.

And remember, this was the coolest things they could cobble together to put in the trailer. The "prepare yourself" scene with the camera panning and weapon twirling was so cringe it almost hurt.

House of The Dragon season 2 dropped at the same time. HBO: "Look Amazon, this is how you write a awesome tv show".

Alex's face in the very beginning says it all. I got nothing to add.

We live in a society where shows like Rings of Power & Velma get multiple seasons, yet movies & shows like Coyote v. Acme get cancelled & written off as tax write offs.

"But they were all of them deceived, for another wig was made..." Best comment I saw from the video.

This is some Monty Python story telling. “He was among us the whole time!” Camera zooms in on Halbrand in a fake mustache and wig.

It's amazing how bad Joe is at pronouncing names 😄

Alex looks BEYOND Pissed!! 😂

Literally like the teacher: "remember class, tomorrow is our open book quiz" and these writers are like nah I'm good.

Man I’m glad Alex is here to constantly correct Joe on the character names, places, and story beats. For the lead of the show Joe can’t ever keep anything straight.

It’s actually criminal that this is getting a season 2.

I liked the part where Sauron said: "I have an army!" and Guyladriel calmly replied, "We have feminism."

We should ask the sea its opinion about this show. After all the sea is always right.

Many years ago, I ran a middle=earth rpg set in the east. One of my players wanted to be a wizard and so played as the blue wizard Pallando. Along with a human knight, a wood elf ranger, a werebear rogue, and two dwarven brothers who occasionally fought inbetween drinking homemade dwarven ale. The campaign had the Easterlings as the main protagonists, the evil faction led by Alatar (the other blue wizard), who had been corrupted by the influence of Morgoths spirit. Alatar rode on a blue crystal dragon and had two balrog bodyguards. The party aided in the Easterlings civil war, and eventually succeed. Through many adventures the party travelled through enchanted forests filled with kaukareldar (evil fey), the keep of the frozen barrow king. The underneath, deep below the earth where the city of deep towers lay, ruled by the Nauglath (evil deep dwarfs), who tended the vats of Umalar (where Morgath created monsters). Through the swamps of cragmire barrow filled with mirelurk spiders, huge fell beasts, crebain and the great hag with her oloh-hai (trolls). The party learned how to free the good easterling from Morgoths influence and how to fight for their freedom. One of the most profound moments was when the players sought refuge in the elven city of Ithil-Rana (moon spirit) and found it empty and ransacked, only to learn that Morgoth had turned every man, woman and child into orcs for Saurons army. Also here, were the calcified remains of treants, one of the last known refuge for the entwives, as Pallando summarised. In the penultimate final battle on the Steppes of Hithlum, below mount Kratos, the fifty thousand strong easterling army and their oliphaunts fought against the now free easterlings, and their grizzly bear mounts. The party, along with the stone giants of Kratos, fought Alatars forces in Castle Azure, high up upon Mount Kratos. In an act of selfless sacrifice, the player of Pallando, frees alatar from the grasp of Morgoths spirit. Like Gandalf, Pallando is sent back to complete his task, to the surprise of the other players mourning from his death. The two blue wizards, now reunited as brothers, control the elements from high upon mount Kratos, to change the course of the battle below. While the rest of the party charge onto the battlefield, flying down on the backs of the giant falcons of Freya, who were summoned by Alatar. The battle is finally won and the players are exuberant with the victory. I ordered pizza for everyone as they sat back, taking a break for a bit. They really felt like they'd been fighting for their lives for the 3 hours that the battle had lasted. I then read the final monologue describing the end of the campaign, as they ate their pizza. As reward the players learned that the number of Easterlings that aided Sauron during the war was greatly reduced and Pallando earned the name East-helper, as referenced in the wiki. Everyone felt like they had actually played a part in the movies, it was such a wholesome ending. This would make for a better story than what these people are creating on Amazon.

Amazon be like: "I didn't hear no bell"

Future me- I was there. 3000 years ago. The day sauron wore a bad wig!

Galadriel: _Prepare yourselves_ Internet: _Oh, we are, honey, don't worry_

Alex looking completely miserable from from frame numero uno tells it all

Alex's face right before hitting play sums up my feelings perfectly.

21:45 I just imagine the Pitch Meeting: Oh being cornered by pepole with swords is TIGHT. Must be hard to get out of this situation. Actually it's going to be super easy, barely any inconventience. Oh really? Yeah you know, he just makes a big cloud...like a really really big cloud and walks away. Oh, ok. Why didn't he do that the first time they caught him? Unclear.

12:05 I have just imagined, Sauron is walking around in that disguise Infront of Galadriel and she is having suspicions but she is not sure. And in the last episode she's like aha, I recognised you, SauRRRon. And everybody is like what a twist

I don't know what's more cringe Joe pretending to be 'mad' or him pretending to be a 'reader' of Tolkien - he can't even get the superman comics straight what a fool...

"What does Sauron look like?" "He... looka like a man."

Both house of the dragon & ROP release trailers on the same day😂😂😂

The Harfoots were the best part of season 1. Watching their clueless, gleeful chaotic evilness was one of the few bright spots of the show.

Alex needs a full episode to rant, that was great.

This trailer is trying so hard to be cool that its downright hilarious to watch lol. Also if the dislikes are anything go by, this show is already more dead in the water.

AJ is growing redder by the day; the rage takes a toll.

"Galadriel look at me" Sauron said calmly

The timeline was pretty screwed up last time, but I think we'll see in this season, the forging of the other rings, the siege and fall of Eregion, Numenor coming to the Elves aid and capturing Sauron and taking him back to Numenor and it will finish with Galadriel founding Lorien and Celeborn will finally turn up...

Amazon: hey guys rings of power season 2 coming out Everyone else: ...... silence.....

17:31 lmfao their brains blocked out that he's Isildur. The trauma was too much for them to bear 🤣

"The only video I wanna see from them is a f*cking apology" Oh man Alex never change I LOLED for a good minute i had to pause the video.

I can't wait for this to come out to enjoy you guys shitting on it!

Somehow... Rings of Power returned.

everytime they mention the 'tempest' Im about to spurt my coffee PLEASE STOP IT LOL

Alex's face says more than any video essay could.

Theres gonna be a Tempest in August.

People need to stop hate watching bad rubbish. The more views they get only means they will continue to out out bad shit.

The good of RoP: practical orcs. The bad: everything else.

The writers from the first season didn't know what they were Tolkien about.

The worst part about a season 2 is that I'm going to have to watch season 1 because I honestly can't remember a single thing that happened 🤣

What if Galadriel is actually her Nobody: Llegadriax and on the raft sauron stabbed her with the keyblade

I expected the trailer to start off with an extreme closeup of Galadriel.

I'm unsure how to feel about the news that Tom Bombadil will be in season 2

Why can't we just get Haradrim and Angmar stories? Why do they have to race bend Elves and Dwarfs when they have plenty of diverse peoples? Why do they have to make the stories they do watered down mellow drama versions of themselves?

As always, the studio executives dig too greedily and too deep...

The face of Alex the first 10 seconds describe the fans opinion.

They recast Adar?!?!? Bro... he was my favorite or season one. Actor was incredible. Wish him the best I guess. I could go for an Adar show after season 1 lol.

Surely Amazon has learned from season 1.

Did you hear the part where Sauron said “orcs have layers” and then the orcs did orc things and stuff

A video saying, not only do they apologize for that huge pile of shit of Season 1, but also they fired all the people dumb enough to think they could do better than Tolkien and they'll never work in this town again. This is not going to be good.

The eye is more a banner or vision (e.g. in Galadriel's mirror, or when being drained by the ring,), and also how the Orcs tended to refer to him. And it also had to do with how his gaze - and hand* - could seemingly search around the land (there is a cool part of that on Amon Hen where they split up after the first part in the book, which PJ represents by Frodo seemingly rushing towards Mordor, the tower and then the eye, and then taking off the ring). And maybe a window with red light in the tower of Barad-dur. But he was corporeal in LotR, and in any case never pointlessly took the literal form of an "eye". (Some other things in older times.) *In the book the eye and his grasp are ambivalent or equivalent in the scene mentioned, and there is also a drawing or painting by Tolkien of his arm and hand grasping out over Mordor. There is probably also a metaphrical description of that in the book. (I don't mean the different part after the ring is destroyed and he sort of forms a fist of smoke that gets dissipated by the wind. It's not in the movie.)

Here we go again 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

Gave up on this on episode 5. Rather get brain cancer than watch more of this.

/Sauron puts the wig on/ Elves: "Where did he go? Must've been the wind..."

24:13 Love how Alex is looking at OJ XD

Saying ur a fan of rings of power is like saying ur a fan of scat. Go away and never come back

I don't understand why galadriel is using a sword and looks more like a elf ranger when she should be using some magic. Looks to be again not following the books and screwing every character.

Did y’all notice it’s not a lot of dialogue in the preview, which is not a great sign.

11:02 You guys should check out Nerd of the Rings video on potential season 2 spoilers. One of them is that Sauron sneaks back into Eregion as Celeborn...seeing Charlie Vickers in a wig gives me an awful sinking feeling that this is what they are going for.

TRUMP 2024

I kinda feel like the internet wants this to be hated. People hated on the show before it even came out. They already made up their minds. I personally didn’t think season 1 was bad, and nobody I know personally thought it was bad either. Is it as good as lord of the rings? No. But some of these internet scoopers act like it’s dragon ball evolution bad lol. Like come on

jesus 4:50 where joe made the face looks like woody from toy story when he smiles but more creepy

“Only video I want to see from them is an apology” 😂😂😂 Gold

Remember Joe and gang, those elf wigs were really expensive, so of course Halbrand fooled the elves yet again!

I agree, I want a video of Prime video studio execs saying “we’re sorry” , “we understand HOW we disappointed you fans.”

God 2020 has been such a long time.

Rings of power season 1 was actually brilliantly done, ofc book nerds unhappy of random changes but every book thats ether film, game, tv shows will always be different. House of dragons, from season 3, and rings of power best year to be alive

Looks like a re-run of the Picard series.

05:10 oh the irony lol

AJ: that looks cool Oj: yes Aj: wow that looks dumb Oj: yes

This must be what it feels like to enjoy something from a franchise you don’t really care about, I never understood how people could like the witcher/halo/avatar tv stuff after what they did to those franchises, but I really enjoyed season 1 of rings of power because I guess I’m not invested in the franchise, I watched the movies, seems to have really rich backstory but I ain’t ever reading those books so it’s really cool to see the lore in tv format even if it’s change according to some

They just announced LEGO Barad Dur 500$ set and I was so happy. Thanks Amazon for ruining my day with this trailer!!!

Nobody goes off trail. Except when they do. And nobody walks alone. Except when we leave yo broken ankle ass. Haha

My favorite comedy fantasy is BACK HELL YEAH!

When designing his new black tower, did Sauron look at the footprints and decided where the toilets go? What about decoration?

A shapeshifting and manipulating sauron looking like he just went to wallmart at christmas eve..

"He worms his way inside then the rest of him slithers in" we got the 4th grade graduate dialogue boys back I see

0:14 That look on Alex's face, that pretty much says it all.

Celembrimbor storyline in shadow of war is MUCH better

Just because there's next to no Harfoots in the trailer doesn't mean they're gone from the show. I'll still watch this as an average fantasy show because it doesn't impact on my love for the trilogy, but after season 1 its probably best to keep any expectations VERY low.

That scene reminded me of The Walking Dead when they encounter the whisperers for the first time

My favorite part was when Borat grabbed the ring and said, "you will never get this!" right before Holdor closed up the Gringott's bank doors on Eleven. This is a must watch, I need to know who Vader picks as the next sith apprentice!

“That kid trying to prove himself”…yeah, that’s Isildur….
