The Rings of Power is AWFUL and DUMB | A Total CATASTROPHE 

Toxic feminity doesn't exist. Women are perfect, bigot /s

​ and gynocentrism everything is filtered through a female lens.

The writers just do not know what a pyroclastic flow is, how fast it is and how hot it is. It carbonizes bodies by evaporating water on the spot while standing in it. She is dead now.

There is a Tempest in Me

They say Toxic Femininity is stronger than Mythril.

Big LOL

This is a sentiment I've heard from at least 6 different people so far lol

Groomer island 2.0

Wondering the same

It promotes ωεf ideals such as the undermining of local cultures.

And when she speaks the word of power.. Gas-xxxx.. that's when the original horn blast idea was used to summon aid lol. She lets it rip and you have a deep bass horn sound summoning aid. In future days they couldn't replicate that much gas because broccoli was banned lol.. so boromir had to use a horn.

@@mikenichols7760 That's fascinating. Is this mentioned in The Simarillion?

@@iainrobb2076 if I recall correct its in unfinished tails. The title is referencing the above mentioned gas magic.. seeing how she never seemed to finish. When she did on occasion "finish" she'd have to flee the forest out of shame of the bodily function accident. Lastly I've read she was mistaken for Radagast the brown on many an occasion. At a slight distance the brown robes couldn't be discerned from the real thing.. what with the body waste making the mistake unavoidable. That Is unless you were down wind.

@@mikenichols7760 If you were downwind you would certainly smell it. I'm surprisd she wasn't chased around all the time by flies.

@@iainrobb2076 even dare to dream.. being chased by the lord of flies?

there's a time for stupid lines like that and that definitely wasn't the time, haha, in real life he'd have told her to shut the fk up

Probably just met Bear Grills in a vision

@Cthulhu hahahahahah the best comment ever hahahahahah

It's the line used at spirit cooking sessions when they're handing you a goblet of "blood" lol

How dare U

Yeah, I kept raising my hands and saying, "Orcs? You guys still around?"

LOL :))))))

There is also no need for EVERYONE in the tavern to care so much about Bronwyn, when they have their own wounded family members... It's like they all got together and said "Holy shit, the main character is hurt, let's all be quiet"... WHAT THE FUCK

Yeah, talking about Bronwyn and arrows…anyone notice that she was shot with 2 arrows while outside and then when they come in to the tavern…sry I mean „Keep“…suddenly there’s just ONE arrow that needs to be removed…what…the…hell???

@@mrsickukxx1332 I'm finding that one hard to Spot, where the other arrow hit? ?

I'd watch that...as long as she roasted the actress

I would pay good money to see this meme come to life!

Naa, she stepped out of a shower and tells Celebron that she had a terrible dream.

@@oraclebigdave Is that a Dallas reference? Jesus, I haven't seen that episode in 30 years, since I was a little kid watching it with great-grandma, but I still remember that scene...

seriously, I don't know how else they could right the ship after this abomination of a first season

we all slow down to watch a car crash

I fell asleep during the second episode when I realized the story wasn't going anywhere till the end of the season just like every other draggy serialized show on TV. But this show was even more boring than most and I never came back

Just keep going! Don't slow down! Don't stop! Eventually you'll get there.

Basically Hollywood summed up. Don’t question the logic, or morality. Just consume more product. They don’t see us as people.

For real. Although it was still disappointing how they did hobbit lol

Nah.Those movies are still shit

@@MechaPlays I agree. I thought Unexpected Journey was the strongest with the following films getting gradually worse. I have to give Peter Jackson some slack though, he only had a matter of months to prepare for the project after Del Toro left.

They’re still pretty bad but this show was on an even lower level (my opinion).

Indeed.

He wants to dominate her out of girl boss delusions

She doesn't move her mouth when she talks

Cmon, she may be a huge arrogant jerk, but she is defo not unattractive

Plot twist: Galadriel is Sauron and Halbarad, one of his followers who will become a Ringwraith, has been hunting him, to tell him to wake the f* up and be a man.

lol dude :D

LOL!!!!!

This is hilarious! Haha

hodor hodor odor odor ador ador adar adar

Having not watched this awful show and never intending to, I could honestly believe that line was really in it.

I wonder how much Shill Campea got paid.

Of the $60 million, I'd wager $10 million went directly to the show runners, $25 million went directly to the plethora of producers and executive producers, and another $10 million in nebulous "production fees" went to the production company. Subtract another $5 million in "marketing and publicity", and you are left with $10 million out of the $60 million to actually film the show.

good point

To quote Eric Clapton, "Cocaine"...

I feels way more like an expense inflation scheme to pay fewer in taxes.

To be fair I'm almost always on Team Volcano.

I rooted for the noble volcano but the villain Guyladriel is too strong.

Make Obsidian Great Again!

Guyladriel must fall, Team Vlocano Forever!

Team Volcano!

They want their believers knowing "she" is shown here this way so you know she's got bigger junk than you lol

Also Amazon: "The show is mine. It is my legacy, it shall be the heirloom of my kingdom!" Fanbase: "We were there, when the will to create content of quality failed, and evil was allowed to endure..." I kind of paraphrased and mashed the quotes together, but I'm tired, it's late, I'm on my phone and I simply refused to look up the exact quotes, relying instead on memory.

@@mirceazaharia2094 that's more effort than Amazon put into this billion dollar abomination ;)

But it's so entertaining! (to listen to reviews such as this)

Tolkien is boring - i mean, the dwawrfs, elves etc are cool things and im glad lots of fantasy made them cool in other stuff. So yeah, who cares about elves singing in the forest? I want to see them unblock that black blood fountain the orcs carry.

@@stephenlyon1358 Fly, you fool!

because halbrand is sauron in the show

Idiots who think the audience are idiots.

This applies to pretty much every second movie these days…

This show is dumb as a sack of hammers. As to your question, this particular episode has FOUR writers credited - two of whom are the show runners, who are extremely inexperienced and worked for Bad Robot as junior staffers prior to this (how they got given a billion dollar TV series, well I can only assume they have contacts or dirt) one who is so inexperienced with little to no writing credits that I couldn't even find out if he was another Bad Robot hack, and the other who is a writer/producer with a fair amount of credits - which are either all for terrible shows, or the worst episodes of some good shows - and again, a Bad Robot hack. They seem to have literally given a billion dollar series to a bunch of mostly inexperienced writers, and those that do have experience have shown themselves to be untalented. That plus the way every episode has felt increasingly smaller and less epic to the point where this episode felt like a 80's direct to video action flick - I just wonder where the hell did all that money actually go?

THERE IS A TEMPEST IN ME Checkmate bruh

@@Beer_Dad1975 They were proteges of JJ Abrams. That's how they got the gig. They knew the right people. And yes: This show had the typical mystery box bullshit all over it, a lazy technique in bankrupt storytelling.

Didn't even consider that lol, Yeh espeically considering "she's cold, she's lost too much blood" Im guessing the writers would say the seeds did it.

@@mydriasisintensifies6139 ...and I bet she's been waiting to get his seed for quite a while.

She used a cure potion, duh!

As a great man would say. "Nah, it'll be fine."😎

I had keyhole surgery in my shoulder and was fucked for weeks, i always laugh when people get shot with bullets and arrows and keep going like nothing happened.

Yes, I found that hilarious as well. Another awful scene is the Guyladriel slo mo horse riding scene in ep 3.

"It should have ended that day, but pride and greed were allowed to endure. Bezos kept the franchise... and the line of workers was broken. There's no strength left in the world of original workers. They're scattered, divided, leaderless." "There is one who could unite them, one who could re claim the rights of Lord of the Rings." "He turned from that path a long time ago. He has chosen retirement." One of Peter Jackson's fans strolls through the darkened gallery. His eyes are drawn to an old Fresco on the wall...depicting J.R.R Tolkien holding the books. The fan looks with wonderment at Narsil, the DVD boxes, PS2 games, which lie on a cloth-covered plinth. "The books and dvds...the elements that kept the authenticity of the franchise. Still classic. But no more than a broken heirloom."

@@TheLatiosnlatias02 those ps2 games were great. I'd love to play them again

@@J.Wolf90 Wish they did a remake for ps5

The Hobbjt trilogy was always enjoyable, In my opinion. It just wasn’t as good as LOTR.

Cut the first movie out I didn't like it except for 2 scenes. 2 and especially 3 are great movies just not LOTR level. Galadriel saving Gandalf is still the 🐐 entrance of Peter Jackson it's so perfect

It was tolerable IF you completely remove that Tauriel abomination.

Masterpieces compared to this, no joke. And I fell asleep to the 2nd Hobbit film.

The Hobbit movies needed a good edit and less interference from the studio. Cut out the the love triangle. Cut Legolas completely or just make him a cameo in the Elven kingdom. Completely cut Radaghast from the movie he had no business being in it. But it was a least entertaining and I wouldn't mind watching it again. ROP is just bad on every level.

@AFTER MOVIE Who cares, the dweeb with the embarrassing beard who believes in aliens is who we're all subscribed to now because he was first. I have tons to say about it first, but Gary got all the shit on all the new shit shows and movies in before me, so he's got half a million more subscribers than me now, including me, gotta give him credit where credit is due, despite my thinking Alex Jones is suffering from severe brain damage and UFO sightings are just Americans eating the wrong weeds off their lawns.

Its cow manure, that’s what it is.

Interesting...👍

I think it's worse than that now. These people don't even believe in anything or even think much.

Dang, that book was published in 2002. Still relevant.

Interesting, do these Balloon-Heads, who call themselves writers, even qualify as Hacks ? I'm not convinced half of them are even trying to 'anticipate' what the market wants, they seem more intent on pissing the market off whenever possible !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This!!!

I felt the same way when Hugo Weaving appeared: it was so jarring, seeing someone who actually had acting gravitas!

Where did that volcano turn up from? There was no mention of a massive volcano on their doorstep.

@@Aircool212 they completely changed mt dooms origin... why? Have no clue. Maybe melkor literally creating a volcano out of his own malice wasent as cool as some orcs diggin some tunnels and dropping some water on it.

You said it wrong it's Guy-Lad-reeee-L

What about all the other fuckers then?

nah,they use cheap AI from github to writes the script

they don't have the arm strength to do that they hired a T person to smack their faces with their old junk

"Writing process"?

Amazon should deus ex machina this show

I wonder if this show is some attempt to get by some taxes or some shit. this show is so stupid, anyone could write this better.

Same

I second this. 😂

it's sure better than rings of power ...

This rage bait backlash doesn't work. It seems to be helping. People just need to tune out of all of this. It looks like the liberals are doing repeat viewings as a backlash to the backlash. Few cared about LothR.

AGREED 😎

I agree

Watch sharp, Sean bean was awesome in that.

Watching Sharpe now thats soldiering

@@gameryazov8327 you need to also watch clip of him everytime he said ya bas.tard

@@insomniac8055 Didn't the author like him so much that he wrote book character to look like him?

She probably realised they were all hopeless and concluded that horses have more feet than people, so they'll fight better.

That’s what seahorses are for! LOL

She taught them the double file cavalry charge!

let alone, horses have bigger heads than humans and should therefore be much smarter.

No man could have done that. GrrrlPowrrrr

LOL

😂😂

and that queen of his was watching his death from distance with a group of soldiers and couldnt care less. at least his boy was allowed to help him. she is really great. why did she came to middle earth again?

Its better seeing Ar-Pharazon,the most powerfull king of Numenor who ever lived, the guy that when he put a foot in middle earth Sauron himself surrendered because he knew he had no chance against him,look like a scared little man

@@broccolibeater nothing wrong with that. She's a commander or at least a very important person who just overlooks the battlefield with guards. That is absolutely believable considering her position and for her to see what exactly is happening with Elendil at that moment is not necessary.

My favorite part was when casting said “lets find the most unlikeable c+nt we can find to lead this shlt show” and the entire crew applauded loudly.

🤣🤣🤣

💀💀💀

Wow wow wow

Yes they are also proud about the brilliant writing of Guyladriel getting hit by fire and debris from the volcano thinking that it will shock the audience that she did not die. "We make it look like she is killed but the fans and especially the haters will find out that she is still alive!!! Woohoo we rock!".

@Manhog Sonic many of them don't, bot accounts are a huge issue. Especially on twitter and Facebook.

@Manhog Sonic they want all-access tickets and free appetizers in exclusive events

agreed, its been really "cringe" to watch so many "influencers" coming out of the woodwork trying to hype up this episode, when the only thing different from the other episodes was a lame fight in this one, which could have been cool it not all the things around it was crap (abandoning their stronghold, Elendil being weak as shit in combat, Guyladriel taking the volcanic cloud head on etc, etc) :/

@@nicolasmoreno95 😅

@Manhog Sonic Many of them couldn't care less about fantasy or tolkien but in their mind watching this show is activism. Many more don't watch this show but defend it on twitter like their lives depend on it because it makes the people they hate mad. These people are the loudest of all.

They went full retard? Never go full retard ..

Simple Jack reference very well appreciated. Nice! 👏 👏 👏

Ed Wood Jr: "What do YOU know? Haven't you ever heard about suspension of disbelief??"

Aparently the orc atack that probabily started right after nightfall lasted the entire night, even throught it seems like the battle lasted less than 10 minutes

"Never go full retard."

The destruction of the tower at the beginning of the episode. It falls like Sauron's tower

more like Helms cheap.

- Chase scene in the forest, where a female Elf says "Noro lim" to the horse I dont know, maybe its accurate becouse that is sindarin and though Galadriel as Noldor uses quenya, so she should not be used sindarin ( becouse maybe as Noldor she did not like to use Sindars lang but this should be "in revenge" becouse Sindarin monarchs banished the use of quenya as the language of Noldors who were the kinslayers for Sindars ) But the horse is from Numenor and so the command in sindarin makes sense as Numenorians used sindarin as their day to day language for centuries and quenya only on important events and documents. Most Numenorians knew both languages. And AFAIR Numenorians own language was developed from elven language. But in the times of Tar-Miriel Numenorians had been using only their own language becouse the elven languages were banished from use by the kings. So thats very smart horse - to know a command in a language not in use for about 500 years :D

U forgot to mention the scene where the wounded/on the brink of death, Orc gets picked up by Arondir(elf) to say something evil then dies(like the time Sharku was wounded and said that Aragorn fell from the cliff when Legolas picked him up in the aftermath of the warg/rohirrim battle). That was obvious af.

@@boblotoldo3051 yep. A tower has never fallen before. Not ever.

She is a tactical mastermind because she's calculated that in a world of pain and horrors to be found in broad daylight.. she can once a day pick a cardinal direction and just rush off and 98.274 percent of times she'll find some group to ride down and attack lol. Shrug.. hey makes as much sense as this shite.

@Jimbo Bimbo Sad. I haven't watched any but the costumes in these clips look really cheap and generic. It really gives me a newfound appreciation for Peter Jackson's costumes which looked like they were developed in the culture and tradition of some far off land and were immersive

@Jimbo Bimbo Tolkien described them as dark skinned little folks with very curley black Hair, SMALL feet&hands who did not migrate

@@evastern231 Why are you lying?

i cant handle the mouth twitch

I used to think the same thing. My parents begged me to watch it with them so I did. I was actually pleasantly surprised. It does have some woke stuff that makes no sense, but it was a lot better than I thought it would be. I’m actually interested in watching each episode now. You should honestly give it a chance. Don’t blind trust Gary. Make your own opinion. He’s really just become a hate bandwagon grifter at this point.

My thought: they ceased to be "our people" as soon as they walked out to join the Orcs.

She even sneered at the pyroclastic flow, ferfooksake.

that village will still be there like nothing happened

Mind you she didn‘t have her ring yet

@@wdhyrhrj4414 True that she doesn't have her ring at this stage, but remember that for the first 1500 years after she got it, she couldn't use it. As long as Sauron wore the One Ring, neither she nor Elrond nor Cirdan wore their rings. During that period she still ruled Lorien and made it into a stronghold proof against attack from Dol Guldur. So she clearly had very strong powers of her own, even without the ring Nenya.

Funny how you guys think Galadriel is the real reason the show sucks and not the N******** elf and other issues, typical terminal liberal leftist nerd syndrome

Well played sir.... well played. Funniest comment on here

When she took off on her horse and that sailor recruit or whatever the fk was like "who is that?", it reminded me of that scene in Ferris Bueller when Ferris kisses his girl and takes off running to beat his parents home and his girl says "he's gonna marry me"...I mean Galadriel is just soooo cool. And the sexual tension between her and that dirtybird king after they'd just murdered together and found out they were both abused as children is just..palpable to the max! When they finally boink it's gonna really be something. Her on top, possibly pegging him..her nose twitching..so gloriously awkward. IGN will love it.

It's because the mainstream media is biased for 🤑🤑🤑

I had to take a moment cause of that comment

@newtonvoig nothing has to make sense.

@newtonvoig he couldve literally just thrown it into some bushes lol

Bro..🤣🤣

Nothing is as bad as winterfell battle. The villagers at least placed archers on elevated positions, trapped the orcs, used some form of a pincer, didn’t charge head on into the enemy, and didn’t fight OUTISDE their village.

Strategy would require a constant in the time of show universe. They undermine a tower Rigged to to fall on the orc and not on tiger village Remove the metal bracket but also reattached them cuz editing fail Travelled back the village. Build barricades in the street The fire cart With about 40 villages people While the fleet is traveling two days to get then another day by land That’s after the horses are dis embarked and allowed to recover then they could travel which is an extra day So that’s 4 days for the fleet but only a single night for the village

@@gamedude412 well bro, you know how it is. It's a fantasy, we shouldn't bring real science into it lol

On the bright side, well have a truly infinite energy source from how fast Tolkien is spinning in his grave.

It merely highlights how good he was by producing hours of the worst Tolkien fanfic you've ever seen.

At least he's no longer with us, we're the ones who have had to suffer through it 🤣

Why, he is not here anymore, he is with Jesus, why would he give a crap what happens to his worldly stuff?

I guarantee he's more upset about how many people don't know the difference between then and than, they're, their and there, to and too, then he is about the Rings of Power series.

everytime you notice something like this - a wizard did it.

They made it in Scotland in the end

My grandpas a retired geophysicist who appreciates realism in fantasy media, he was probably very disappointed with this scene. Though to be fair he was fine with the Mount Doom ground falling in ROTK because its a fantasy movie & it looked cool.

Too expensive, and those toxic geologists were just bots hating on their story.

Hummmm volcanics explosion because of water intrusion happens all the time from all over the planet. There is a lot of problems with this series but the volcano is not one of them .

Imo the point is that she struggles with fanatism and "the end justifies the means" ideology (her troops leaving her, Galadriel almost going war criminal on Adar) despite the morals she believes in which for me adds a lot of depth as it works out her negative and to some degree also Adar´s positive traits.

@@zraebiel1673 That's your opinion though.

@@zraebiel1673 Sure…😂

Yes. Compared to LOTR where Jackson had every horse in New Zealand brought in to film battle scenes. This comes off very "made for TV".

Haven't watched but find this scale comment to be very interesting. $1B and they can't do big battles? For LOTR? That's like not having money for a shark in Jaws or using alligators for Jurassic Park.

You people are fucking psychotic. The production value and scope is still insane compared to almost anything else on tv. Maybe set your expectation in this universe? Budgets aren’t infinite.

horses that somehow were on 3 ships with all those men. Numenoreans didn't use horses in battle.

Which is even more hilarious when you consider the fact that Adar said *"Summon the LEGIONS"* when they were preparing for battle. These hacks don't even know what the word 'Legion' means and they had the dumb inclination to use the plural version of it.
