I just love how masculinity in men, and strong bad ass male characters who save women are considered toxic and should never be allowed, but masculinity in females, and bad ass women characters saving males is practically mandatory now.
And galadriel blackmailing, manipulating, coercing everyone in the show is not toxic somehow.
One word: Modernity.
Hey if women don’t want strong heroic men, fine by me. Just don’t come to us for help whenever you get attacked. Go find your fabled legion strong BA women to assist
Just remember, there are some male writers and the actors themselves are allowing this disgrace, so….
Classic 1984 subversion of Reality
Never forget that the real villain, who is responsible for the hiring of Dumb and Dumber, is JJ Abrams.
Can’t wait for more LOTR WNBA full of preachy girl bosses to try and serve the mainly all male audience. Yay
JJ hired the Game of Thrones writers ?
No bro. JarJar just make the call. Some officehead give it a green light. So blame that guy.
You mean JarJar, the Muppet impersonator? I'm content to blame him for absolutely everything wrong with the world.
Jar Jar Abrams is just the worst
We lost a hero when Christopher Tolkien died. He was totally devoted to preserving his father’s legacy and the accuracy of his works.
Morgoth, “I have sowed my seeds of corruption into every aspect of Middle Earth”
Amazon, “hold my beer…”
"The horse died March 21 of cardiac arrest…"
Nerdrotic: "…after reading the script”
Facts 🤣
The horse had just found out he was to be Guyladriels horse, and his heart gave out in terror.
Lol just eat the horse after…tried horse meat in japan and Iceland it’s pretty good and healthy
@@aynrandfan7454
I thought they were more civilized than that.
The Japanese, of course.
@@lucascoval828 ha nah Iceland they eat whales and puffin too lol
Neigh neigh I'm not doing that scene
Amazons Ring of Disappointment can be summed up in one question..."Do you know why a ship floats but a stone cannot?"
I Hope Herobrine steals all your diamonds
"The Sea Is Always Right!"
i don't understand the references, and i'm all the happier for it.
"YOU HAVE NOT SEEN WHAT I HAVE SEEN!"
"THERE IS A TEMPEST IN ME"
Remember when PJ's LOTR production was able to film in a protected area of New Zealand and they bent over backwards to ensure that a rare micro ecology wasn't impacted by building their Edoras set?
Weta set dressers: "Wouldn't be very true to Tolkien to go crashing about like a bull in a china shop, would it?"
Amazon: "We don't do that here." [revs chainsaw]
I mean, I almost had a heart attack when I saw Galadriel smile. I can't imagine what it was like for the horse
My favourite part of season 1 of The Rings of Power was when Galadriel yelled 'give it to me raw!' and then Netflix's Cleopatra scissored her mount doom.
Personally, mine was when she yet again yelled "give it to me raw" and then Sauron used protection. Second favorite when was she went twerking on him in response.
That scene was as hot as the fires of Mount Doom
wtf hahah
Well, if that was an adult parody I bet it would attract bigger audience.
We can be pretty sure that this is like the steven seagal movies... it has the purpose of money laundry
All hail Peter Jackson's team, Weta, and Howard Shore for putting together the greatest movie trilogy of all time.
one of the most impressive logicstic enterprise ever
I actually just watched through my Extended Edition DVD set of The Hobbit, which I love despite a lot of the negative opinion. Watching through the Appendices (the making of) videos literally brought a tear to my eye, the level of love, thought, creativity about honouring Tolkien’s work is truly incredible.
@Al Dunlop they extended that overly long crap? Rather you . . .
Nah, not even close. It all went pear shaped after the first. Legolas sliding down the trunk of the Oliphaunt was ridiculous children's tv
@@bobgeorge8382 he’s an elf. It made sense to me. He’s agile with inhuman balance
Rings of Power is turning out to be like a final boss, who you think you've finally destroyed, only to find out there's two more stages and your health is on the edge.
My favourite part were when Sauron said: "Writers? Where we're going we don't need writers!"
I don’t know how they found me Marty but they did
Who?
THE LIBYANS! Run Marty!
My favourite part of season 1 of The Rings of Power was Nerdrotic's reviews of it
Pretty much :)
🤣🤣
fr i watched it until episode 4 and the dwarves were the only one that keept me for so long, then galadriel had a mental break down and shit hit the fan so hard that i only watched the dicectings of what NErdrotic did and especially HeelvsBabyface.
@@smollgar I want to know what Drugs he is on with his conversation with 'God'. Is he selling again?
Yes. Lol
The death of the horse is even worse when you consider that this was the first death ever for the company that had loaned them the horse - and that this company (The Devil's Horsemen) has been around for @50 years.
As for the all female directing team: the "leader", Charlotte Brandstrom, was the only director kept after season 1...and one of her episodes had the infamous volcano in the face, as well as the badly directed battle.
Volcano to the face, eat it, back to it.... I was sure everyone was ☠️. Next episode... Everyone survived. I couldn't believe it.
This and the deforestation makes me sad. Normally I'd enjoy and laugh at a company burning money, but this made me sad. I wish the UK grew some balls, and put their foot down on Amazon's deforestation.
I don't even understand how a movie horse can have a heart attack. Those horses are like the top level athletes of their specie, on par with race horses.
What level of strain and stress has been inflicted on him?
The question Gary did not ask is how long did they beat the poor horse after it died ...
@@davidlacosteProbably gave the horse the jab. To many actors refused to work with the animal unless it was quintuple vaccinated.... That's my guess.
Well written Gary. "Even the smallest person can make a difference." By the real Galadriel.
One thing Tolkien taught us is that evil does not endure and never wins.
The sad thing is, if you knew nothing of Tolkein and your first exposure to him was rings of power, you would not only not be impressed, you would have no idea of the scope of his work.
IMO thats their plan, less people reading these books.
It’s a sauron-esque battle for your mind and the minds of your children
The first exposure my kids had to Tolkien was me reading them The Hobbit and me always watching the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies.
Same with star wars .
Imagine the first thing you see is Rey instead of Luke 🤡
Indeed
I think we were too harsh to the Hobbit films. At least they somewhat resemble Tolkien's world.
Well the Jackson 3 LOR I my all time fav movies. The Hobbits were meh - for a reason, Jackson had much less material to work with from Tolkien and it was written for kids - only one book. So the writing for the Hobbits trilogy was also not always that good.
It was merely Proto-Woke. The Dwarf-women had at least symbolic super thin beards.
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 When I saw a breakdown of the whole situation, I started cutting The Hobbit trilogy a lot more slack.
Jackson wasn't even supposed to direct it but was brought it to save the entire project when it was in danger of being shut down before filming.
He had a couple of weeks to cobble something together and start filming things.
All in all it would probably have been better to just let it go and not even try, but I can forgive him and others trying to accomplish something without adequate preperation and it failing.
To be fair, you could make a decent 2h, 3h film. Hell, I'm pretty sure you can find decent fan cuts. Maybe even fix up the frame rate and lighting, although it never bothered me.
@@matthewmosier8439 yes agreed - and I watched it only 2 times, I might give it a chance again, don't ask me how many times I watched LOR - 3 - from Jackson at that time including the making off... :)
I just love the endings with Elrond yelling at Isildur. It’s a hilarious touch 😂
I don't want this show canceled. I want it to do the full walk of shame, blow all its budget on unwatchable crap that gets endlessly dog piled. I don't want Amazon to be able to quietly walk away from this disaster.
That "Cast it into the fiyah! Destroy it!" always gets me after watching Gary roast ROP for over 10 mins. 🤣
“Isildur!!!”
@@tustari "...No. The Ring is Mine."
Haha, nice.
See you in the next video Amazon! Hilarious 😂
Same my friend 😂
5:30 For those that didn't catch it, the scenes in the Lord of the Rings movies where they show orcs cutting down the forest, it was all the same tree. They shot it from multiple different angles so they could cut it up to look as if many trees were being felled, but if you watch it carefully, it's just the one tree.
OMG, I never noticed that!
The One Tree to help them all 😊
@@luvlybaluga That was awesome. I love it! 👍
There's probably an eco clause in the contract somewhere, because planting trees or using CGI is so toxic masculinity.
For pretending nothing should be destroyed, we seen one tree on camera how many other takes were not good enough for the tripe they claimed would top Tolkien. How many massive old trees were ripped down to make room for their crap sets,..... that is horrible. Amazing billions lost is not enough of what Amazon deserves for all of this.
The horse died of a heart attack when it realised it was cast in the rings of power instead of Yellowstone 😢
every time i see anything with Cate Blanchett from LOTR i get goosebumps. she IS Galadriel and her voice is just soooooo on point. its scary to me .. i love her
Yeah I just watched through my Extended Edition DVDs of The Hobbit, she nails it caring for Gandalf as Saruman and Elrond fight around her.
I agree with you. The PJ LotR trilogy has so many great characters. Back when movies were good. It’s so sad how 80% of all movies and tv now sucks because it’s has too much “Woke” bullshit. Get woke, go broke. 😂
Are we sure the horse didn't die from embarrassment for being involved with this garbage? (Gary beat me to the punchline.)
Possibly but it might also have had the vaccine.
"it's not about money. Its about sending a message.
Everything burns!"

Not knowing much about it, I was genuinely happy to start watching the Rings of Power. I dipped out after episode 2.
Looking through UA-cam to see if I was the only one whose soul had been sucked out by the sheer atrocity of what I had seen, I found Nerdrotic.
And ever since I’ve been a subscriber :)
If you haven't read Tolkien then you should. Don't let Amazon's trash sour such greatness.
You know any other funny people like Nerdrotic?
@@anthonyortiz350 yup. Pete Buttigieg. He fuckin cracks me up.
I love this channel. Videos are informative, up-to-date and tightly edited. As a fan of the movie business (as it could be), I'm glad this channel is here to sift through all the latest that we don't have the time (or talent) for ourselves. May fortune and good health accompany you, sir. You do good work.
The reasons we want it canceled is because one it disrespects Tolkiens legacy and two much like 99% of everything coming out of hollywood it has no heart.
No - the reason was that the outrage machine made a lot of money before the show was released. I saw the series, I liked it, there was no disrespect for Tolkien. I am sure he would have liked it a lot seeing it. If he could.

Publicly showing my support for Bobo and Captain Pickles, Who are far more qualified than any other current writer in Hollywood. Thanks N for recognizing their relative talent
With the added benefit there'd actually be less crap thrown around on set.
It was the best of times it was the blurst of times.
At last someone recognized their unbelievable talent.
@@MaD0MaT 'God' wants it cancelled? Gary must be on the drugs again if he's talking to 'God' and getting direct answers.
They were all of them deceived, for another show was made. In the land of Amazon, in the fires of mount Prime, the dark lord Bezos forged in secret a master flop. And into the show he poured his money, his greed. And his will to dominate all film. One show to ruin them all.
Wanting Sauron to be like Walter White and the Joker at the same time is like saying you want them to be burning hot ice. Those characters are huge contradictions of each other.
So you want a realistic down-to-earth show that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots?
Galadriel: What's your problem, anyway?
Sauron: I live in a SOCIETY, THAT'S my problem!!!
One missed opportunity to use Isildur throwing the ring into the fire as Rings of power, while Elrond is representing the fandom.
Dear Lord...they are ACTUALLY making a season 2? Who even saw the first season besides hate watchers??? 😂
They signed a contract for 3 (or 4?) seasons. If they dont they lose money.
True eh, oh well, in the end this show for Amazon doesn't even matter, because Warner Bros as the rights now to do more Movies and some TV stuff for Lord of the Rings again. Doubt anyone will even remember this show in a few years time.
@@GregorMima So at this point it's being made to launder money basically 🤣
I watched it because i kept hoping it would get good
@@markhester6556 Thats true for all Hollywood nothing new.
I have recently re-read The Silmarillion for the twentieth time since reading it first in 2007. When reading certain passages I close my eyes and try to visualize the scenes (e.g. Tulkas joining the Valar in their battle against Melkor). So, I don't need garbage like The Rings of Power to exist.
"And borne upon the high airs above the mist of the world, it passed into the ancient West and end was come for the Eldar, of story and of song."
It's such a majestic way to end the book and my heart aches with its beauty and sadness, because it was beautiful and now it has ended.
Amen
Tolkien would absolutely have HATED everything about the ROP and the woke globo machine world order... He explicitly warned about "Wizards" by which he seems to have meant the itchy fingered godless scientists, the blindly ambitious men worshipping them, their meddling in powers they don't respect or understand...
Bezos, Fauci, Schwaub, Soros, Zelensky or Gates could have stood model for Saruman ,Sauron, Grima , The Steward of Gondor ,the into Nazgûl corrupted Kings of old....
Ah yes.. Sounds great ... And those who don't want to POLLUTE AND POISON their perfect memories of visualizing and experiencing the books and how they feel re-reading them (and for some maybe the first three films) as well as those who are lucky enough to still have the experience before them...They would DEFINITELY do best in avoiding ALL MODERN ADAPTATIONS MADE BY DEGENERATES LIKE THE PLAGUE ....
If they start at 37% viewer rate for Season 2, they might end up at 5% for the finale
the only way they could have saved the show was to bring Peter Jackson in and make him the only one to call all the shots about this series, but no, "lets just make all directors women, that should solve the issue!".
when will they learn its not about gender or race, its about talent and staying true to the fandom & lore.
Hearing "its dark times in Hollywood" puts a smile on my face
You're g0d damn right. 😁
Now we just need to turn these "dark times for Hollywood" into "end times for Hollywood"
All that we’re seeing today it has restored my faith in justice. It’s true what they say about evil being a self destructive force and that even if for years it slips by unnoticed, even if innocents suffer terribly the core human principles that are meant to drive us come back and take their toll on those who have done wrong. They know it’s no way of living and are all trying to make what little time they have last. They know it deep down, their instinct tells them. Like the dog who tore the paper roll. Life is good man don’t let the bad corrupt you
Literally and figuratively
Well…not such a groovy thing to hear if you’re crew and you’re out of work.
As a horse owner, I'm glad you included the horse in your list. Horses should not be dying on movie/TV sets. They should not be being worked that hard--there's no reason for it.
...there's no reason to own them either, but here you are...
I love to shit on the Rings of power but we dont know if they mistreated the horse. Cardiac arrest can happen without mistreatment when a horse is doing activities.
@@rocksmo3384Horses are entirely capable of dropping dead from eating the wrong flavour grass. Wife has horses... basically 1/2 a ton of stupidity and nerves bred specifically to keep vets in business 😂
@@rocksmo3384 Yeah, just like humans, animals can literally just drop dead from heart or brain problems out of nowhere without any kind of mistreatment or overexercise. It happened to a cat of mine. :( One minute he was enjoying the sun looking out the screen door and the next minute he literally dropped dead. The poor horse dying I take more as some kind of cosmic warning that they should quit while they're ahead rather than they mistreated the horse, lol. They might have, but it's very possible the horse just had an undiagnosed/undiagnosable heart condition.
@@codinghusky5196
There is no reason to own dog or cat also, but here you are.😂 Why cannot you own horse, when horses like it, when somebody takes care of them?
On a positive note . Andy Serkis narrating Lord Of The Rings is the best thing I’ve ever listened to . I’m in absolute bits after the Ride of The Rohirrim .
Obviously The Lord Of The Rings is my favourite book but he has made it better .
I cannot recommend enough . Better than Star Wars, better than The Shining , better than reading A Tale of Two Cities .
When I finish , I’m going to listen again . Unbelievably wonderfully , one of the greatest joys of my life ❤
The irony here is that Amazon has taken Tolkien’s work and corrupted it exactly the same way that Melkor attempted to corrupt Eric Illuvatar’s creation.
"The horse died after reading the script"
Might be the funniest thing I've heard all day
I can’t wait for season two to come out. I loved all the terrible things being said about it on the first season.
Even I, a casual Tolkien fan, understand how to make a good Middle Earth story better than entire writing/directing staff being paid millions upon millions to destroy(modernize) the lore. And I'm a moron!
"Bobo and Captain Pickles???" Yeah . . . THAT is the TV series Amazon shoud make.
I think the writer's strike should continue and people with a better level of creativity that haven't been able to break into the business should be given a shot.
sadly, if that was an option, writers would never have gotten that shitty in the first place
You're right!
@@unevilGenius Your'e absolutely right!!!!
I don't give a flying fig about them. They have long since stopped creating anything worth mentioning. They use other people's creations to write their shtty fanfics, based on those precious things. They don't deserve my money.
It’s less about talent and more about yes-men in Hollywood.
My favorite part of season1 of Rings was not watching it because I actually listen to reviews.
I watched it - its really much better then I thought - not for the writing reason
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 The New Zealand locations are breathtaking, and that’s none to the credit of the production. Gary’s noted that Bad Robot-aligned productions will typically shoot “cool-looking” scenes- even if they require a complete plot detour- for the express purpose of putting them in a trailer or sizzle reel.
I think many people will notice the strike of the guild. Because, for now, directors and producers and some actors can't blame the writers anymore for making bad and worse and worst movies. It's usually not the writers writing bad things, it's usually the crews and marketers messing things up that were written good at first. I'm a screenwriter myself, and I really could tell you about meetings with the crews that would blow even your mind. You remember the first american Godzilla movie? It was meant to be a real good vintage gojira movie (If I'm not wrong, you still can find the first draft online - it was classic gojira). But the director rejected it completely, and then the marketers got involved... don't blame the writers for the mayhem the production teams is causing.
7) If you ask me, the horse is the lucky one.
6) Doesn't matter if he wins or loses; just the fact that this lawsuit exists is pure gold.
5) Insurance fraud? Not trusting Amazon on this...
4) This is just aggravating on so many levels. Amongst other things it's hypocritical, given how much emphasis they put on the one tree being felled in season 1.
3) Frankly, after season 1 I doubt this show can be turned around anyway. If anything, this would be an interesting experiment for hate-watchers.
2) Well, at least that'll speed up her inevitable downfall.
1) All-female directing team = new shield for Amazon to hide behind. This is gonna be Webber's go-to excuse throughout season 2's run.
It's pronounced Barkshir. I know it's Shire in Tolkien , but that's why he was such a genius as he knew that in colloquial English you never pronounce the " e " on the end of British counties.
I’ve just commented basically the same thing.. the Shire in Berkshire is pronounced more like the Sher In Sherlock..
"Shire" sounds much better though.
@@rpgadventurer32 weirdly not if you’re in the uk. Nearly all our counties end shire. I suppose we pronounce things weirdly to Americans though.
@@jesusrevus8017 Replace 'weirdly' with 'correctly' .... 🤣🤣
English is a retarded language when it comes to pronunciation anyway. To and go pronounced different. Some and numb are similar, sounding despite wildly different spellings. But home that has the same spelling as some is different sounding. It's like the first people to write down the language was an autist, no offense.
The audio clip of Elrond at the end never gets old 🤣
Gary, thank you for making this video. Your live edits are great. Keep on keeping on!
I'm not trying to "toot my own horn", as it were, but I've been working a military science fiction piece for the last 17 years. That's roughly the same as Tolkien and nowhere near done, namely out of personal apprehension. I'm not bragging, mind you. After all of this work. I've only grown to appreciate Tolkien more. He was obviously more efficient in his work, and more consistent. But this has been a long, long time. When I started, I was in sixth grade in 2006. I maintained it. I fell in love with it, and expanded it dramatically. I'm now 28 and I'm still passionately working on it. I cannot fathom someone taking my work and utterly reworking to suit their personal beliefs. I would be horrified. I would be disgusted. It's my work. I built this. And I built this for my readers. I built this to be enjoyed. I want people to plow into it and have fan theories and favorite characters and so on. This has been my life's work. And now I'm terrified to publish it because of how society handles it. This series is a travesty. If Tolkien were alive, he would have lost his mind. It's such a disgusting mess of nonsense. I would be livid. I've worked so hard to build what I've built, and in the same amount of time, roughly, and I'm still not done. I cannot fathom someone warping my work to fit their stupid fucking narrative. I would come back from the grave and ruin your life for sport. So pathetic.
Write your own shit. Let that be trash. Don't tack our names onto your bullshit. If my book fails, it fails. It'll be my fault. But don't ruin a beautiful literary work because you're too fucking lazy to produce your own shit.
They had absolutley everything going for them, and they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
I am so glad we got the 2001-2003 films. Timeless masterpieces.
They were rather great.
@@gelflingfay They still are. Not bad reboots required or desired.
And I remember the LotR fans losing it over the small changes PJ made.
I bet most of them are eating it after seeing how truly awful it could have been.
My favorite part about ROP season 2 is all the additional content Gary will be able to create!
I wonder tho if people like Gary, Ryan, Critical Drinker, Geeks and Gamer and endless other channels stopped watching the show to review it, would the Audience Completion Rate be drastically lower? Like below 30%?
@@lawrencetalbot8346 Probably not, a lot of these channels are built on fake drama. The irony being they're are mostly hosted by people who've never written or filmed anything, besides their own rants. So who knows if they could actually do better.
In the end, this is just a hobby to kill time.
Morfedd Clarke needed a shrinks help to deal with ptsd from pretend fighting with fake orcs .But she didn't give a shit when a horse died 😕
Elrond: Cast it into the fire!
Amazon: ...
Elrond: DESTROY IT!
Amazon as it walks away: No...
Elrond reaching for his sword: AMAZON!!!
“If those guilds and the Alliance of motion picture and television producers fail to reach a new contract agreement…. Leading to an even more drastic industry-wide shutdown.”
Does Hollyweird really think that constitutes an existential threat to the public? That’s like threatening people to take their garbage away for them….
When you said: “The horse died March, 21st of cardiac arrest, after reading the script…” I almost died, 😂
Me too lol
I can't wait for season 2... on Nerdrotic, Disparu and the Drinker's channels
Watch The Woke Critic's videos about season 1. Funniest shit I've seen.
@@0b5qRa thanks, I'll give it look

+Little Platoon 😊
Thank you for all of this, Gary, You, the Critical Drinker, and RK Outpost have inspired me a lot. I bring up a lot of these same stories and points in my 3-part series on The Frauds of Prime and actually got some good feedback on how I put them all together with the research.
I don't agree with ALL of your film and TV takes, but I'm there with you and the Drinker about 95-98% of the time. Keep up the good fight and doing what you do when we're handed garbage like this! You give us nerds on UA-cam some hope.
Destroying a forest is exactly what the servants of Sauron would do.
Amazon truly missed the mark with Rings Of Power. Whether you enjoyed this season or not it does not compare whatsoever to the Peter Jackson trilogy. And my GOD, I UNDERSTAND THAT IT MUST BE INCREDBILY DIFFICULT TO CREATE AN ADAPTATION OF LOTR nowadays that doesn't resemble the trilogy in the slightest, but for some reason it frightened amazon so much they decided to go with a look that is not only unrecognizable if you were to put it beside peter jacksons, but it genuinely doesn't look like it'd be even close to the works of Tolkien. I'm not an expert in Tolkien's work nor do I ever want to be, but to look at Amazon's budget, and witness so much go to waste it makes you think just how unironic a mega corporation like amazon is trying to profit through the works of a guy who devoted his life to storytelling and worldbuilding along with being a professor in english which amplfied his overall finesse in writing. The world needs good storytelling, not shitty rushed projects with no complexities that are riddled with greed.
It is mind boggling. Honestly there has to be some writers out there somewhere that are really great. And Amazon technically has enough money to really search to find those gems. But instead they literally hire people who have essentially never done a serious story.
I think I know why they do that though-and my thought is it’s because they don’t actually search the whole world for the very best-that instead they hire only people in their inner circle. Their buddies. Their acquaintances.
If Amazon or any other major studio actually searched high and low for the most talented writers, etc. then they would find it.
@@narnia1233 It's all done for propaganda, methinks.
I believe that they'd just rather brainwash and reprogram the audience and their respective cultures to adore this sort of crap rather than give a rat's ass about good art and good morals.
They ate throwing human civilization onto the funeral pyre, for money and power. It's BEYOND DESPICABLE.
This is literal treason against the human species, as well as cultural, intellectual and moral g-en-oc-ide.
@@narnia1233 I think Bezos got conned and the rest played out after that. Whatever you think of the guy and Amazon as a company, the fact is he's a very shrewd businessman who recognises the need to bring in the right people to run different parts of the business because he can't and shouldn't try to micromanage everything. He's clearly found good people to run the logistics and the cloud computing but I think the film and TV stuff is too far outside his core understanding which made him vulnerable to getting played by some smooth talking con artist who's never going to create anything good but says the right stuff. Once you get someone like that in charge they'll appoint other talentless people into senior positions who are either similar to themselves, or easy to control. This stuff happens all the time in companies where the boss or the management team get fooled by somebody who seems amazing at first and knows exactly what to say to win them over but is a complete failure in practice.
With great wokeness comes great irresponsibility.
And money loss.
And a stained mattress.
And dead horses.
And a torched set.
So I usually hate woke stuff but I do t really see it this time..I mean Galadriel supposed to be a bad ass no? Hellbrand was strong, the dark elf and the sea captain all strong male leads no? The black ward was a little forced but apart from that I don’t get the criticism 💁♂️
And fans left disappointed
I dont care what Tolkien said, my grandma told me that Galadriel was black.
Actually, if you look in the credits, Bobo and Captain Pickles are part of the writing staff.
Can't wait for season 2, purely for the content you guys are gonna make!
I expect a lot of good time with nerdrotic
@@didierfavre2356 'God' will tell him what to make. Seeing he now has a direct line. Powerful drugs.
@@bosskbountyits still a lot more entertaining than something you can ever come up with.
That’s not a good approach, and it’s part of the reasons why such shows thrive
Can’t wait for more triggered incel content.
What I found amazing is how quickly they shot season 2 of this shitshow in the UK. There's now only 11 days of filming left. Just how much is being done in post for this? I'm guessing the budget is much smaller.
There's only so much money even Jeff Bezos is willing to waste.
Yeah, that is pretty fast. Before that number of days was released, they had said they'd be filming until July- so now it seems they will be using the next 2 months for any needed reshoots. As for post, I'd imagine there's a lot since this season isn't expected to be ready until next year. Though I wonder if Amazon is speeding things up to try to get the show out earlier. It had always been reported as being out in 2024, but one of Amazon's bigwigs, Vernon Sanders, has said he'd like it out a year after s1. Rushing things sure won't help the (lack of) quality!
I was really surprised it came out this fast. That was quick.
Season 2 was being filmed alongside season 1, which already suggests exactly what’s coming next is doubling-down.
@@clogs4956 Season 1 completed filming on 2 August 2021 and Amazon announced a week later that production on season 2 would be transferred to the UK. There was no overlap. Season 2 began filming in October 2022 and is due to end next week.
Just sayin, every time I see your subscribers list go up with each episode I wish I could subscribe a 2nd and 3rd time. Genuinely love your channel man. Can't wait to see it hit 1,000,000. It's really great quality, often hilarious, you have a fantastic voice (made for radio, as they say), and I love that you defend what is good and right! What you put together is a light in the dark world of entertainment man. Thanks for the videos and content.
Don't lose sleep over it.
It’s not about lying to their customers.
It’s about lying to their *Shareholders.*
“The horse died of cardiac arrest… after reading the script.” 😂
The destruction of the forest is the worst for me. (Second to the show itself, of course)
So all the moat popular shows that people love are on hold, but the woke shit shows people hate are still a go? SMH man 😣😞
The absence of BoBo and Captain Pickles would most definitely be noticed in their home territory of Secret Hideout, where their genius is much needed on the final season of STD, the Section 31 movie and Starfleet Academy series.
If modern entertainment has taught me anything…it’s that it can always get worse.
What frustrates me is the seeming inability to counter-create LotR things to draw attention away from RoP and similar vandalism. I remember the Skyrim molders couldn’t even finish a FREE MOD without being hit with a C&D from Warner Bros. This situation with Tolkien’s masterpiece feels very much like watching a hostage being abused over a CCTV.
Little fun anecdote: One of my exes was a Skyrim/Elder Scrolls player like, to THAT point she dragged me to GameStop on release night, lel, and would play for hours before coming to bed. After having played it myself... Understandable, it's borderline hypnotic even on Vanilla.
Anyway the real story: She downloaded a mod which would apparently put Bilbo's house somewhere in the game world, but as far as I know she didn't find it, at least at the time. But yeah I wonder if even those people got smacked with a potential suit just for helping their fellow nerds out for free, and with undoubtedly hundreds of hours of work.
Like Maedhros hung by the wrist for all his brethren to see
I’m wondering why the Tolkien estate allowed Amazon to write this nonsense but wouldn’t allow them access to the old stories.
1:58 Horse died after reading the script.I believe in thet
A moment of silence for the horse that lost it's life. May it run with the horses of rohan for eternity.
This is too funny. I was just in Best Buy and all the tv's there played Rings of Power at that scene she does the angry nose twitch thing. I thought I was being pranked.
That's probably the only way they can trick anyone who isn't a professional or hobbyist critic, into even accidentally giving it any screen time.

The forest in Berkshire, England, is also a national heritage site so there might be some legal issues for cutting down those trees and an international incident.
What baffles me is why some ppl didn't voice their disagreement. Like animal casaulty, destroying natural habitat in normal cases would rise a resistance. Where was it ? I have a theory that such organisation like greenpeace got a "small donation" to look away for a sceond. Also knowing those studios recent habits they would call r-cts,f-sts everyone opposing so in the end all could be in vain.
The destruction of Fangorn Forest pretty much encapsulated everything that the Fellowship was fighting against.
Amazon = Saruman and they don't realise and don't care.
“Back to the book, back to the book’ It just wasn’t one Tolkien wrote.
RIP to that horse. The hardest worker on set.
If things had gone differently with the production, I would have been part of the target audience for this show. I would have signed up for Amazon Prime just to watch it, and I would have obsessed over every episode even more than I did with Game of Thrones when it was at its height.
Instead, I haven't watched a single minute of Rings of Power, not even to 'hate watch', and I never will.
I wonder if the Tolkien’s offspring care about what they’ve done to their legacy… because now they will forever be viewed as people who sold out their own family for money they didn’t even need…
I had a friend who was very familiar his grandson and great grandchildren, apparently a total wanker and couldn't care less. But don't worry, he and his family are "hippies", so they must be good people. 🙄
Well, everyone is their own person. Just because your related by blood to a great or horrible person doesn’t have to mean shit.
The fact some random descendants of someone else are shitheads doesn’t surprise me at all
They will continue this series despite the entire universe yelling for them to stop. They will finally get to season 5 and the final episode's total budget will be $50.
EDIT: 9:00 God please! I want an entire industry shut down. I don't want Hollywood to make anything for the next decade. They have shown time and time again they are beyond creatively bankrupt.
In a rare moment of wisdom as a young[er] adult/teenager, I would occasionally flirt with the idea of just stopping all mainstream Hollywood productions for half to up to a full decade to let them recharge and come back to any semblance of glory. Similar with the music industry, but to stay on topic, yeah they are clearly tired, uninspired, basically the feeling when you've, to be crass, nutted 4 times and have nothing left, but still gotta crank out another and another beyond reason. They need to just... Stop. But these celebs, producers, executives etc. have gotten too used to the idea of ever widening profit and influence they hold over the evermore fed up masses. Their time is up. They need to go into stasis, if not just wither away. They need us. We no longer, if ever we did, need them.
And they NEVER admit they’re wrong.
Why PETA isn't promoting the use of coconuts over CGI animals I put down to their lack of taste. The horse dying of cardiac arrest tells me it died of heart break, not embarrassment. Were I Amazon, I would pay off the fanfic writer as a way of excusing why the writing for Season 1 was so terrible. Nice to see Amazon is following the footsteps of Sauron, stoking the forges so their sets light on fire and torching forests. Not sure it is the kind of thing Tolkien would have supported, though.
How did it even get approved for a second season ?
Maybe they're counting on Netflix's Cleopatra making them look like a masterpiece by comparison
The truly sad thing about all this is it may forever keep us from getting a good The Children of Hurin film.
Amazon did not understand that unlike Star Wars, Star Trek, Ghostbusters or other film/television franchises the work of the Professor is written down in books and protected from idiocy and ret-conning. Just as Netflix with The Witcher for pretty much the same reason but with much more might in the fandom, they are getting kicked out of the franchise despite their huge money
👍 Love ur weejios!
Oh by the way, I've always wondered is that TJ Kirk as a sorcerer behind you😂 ?
Amazon just said they are now going to make a LOTR MMO.....original it was a Chinese company that had teamed up with them but the game got cancelled. I do not want to even think about the abomination amazon will make. I hope they lose all their money
Amazon throwing another billion dollars down the drain. And I'm still wondering why Amazon never made Invisible season 2.
No one saw it *ba-dum tss*
But yeah. Invincible s2 should’ve been made.
not really - it is considered a success for Amazon what I could read - already last year
They could have dumped a billion dollars into that series and made it live action
or all the "The Expanse" episodes for the final season...
anyway, i really hope they fail really hard
The so-called "billion dollars" is for the entire series and includes most of the infrastructure costs which would be used on other Amazon videos and film movies. So it isn't a true billion dollar cost as a lot of the expense is recouped through use of the land, buildings, facility services, studio set structures, computers, computer networks, software, and recycled set props on other shows.
the horse learned he gonna be in rings on power, he had a heart attack
I honestly just love this guy😂 I listened to every one of his ROP reviews and laughed every time. Friday night tights goes crazy
You know you're in trouble when a fire breaks out in your dumpster fire.
I would gladly accept to being forced to watch every Hobbit movie by PJ for every day of my life over ANY footage of that Rings show.
The horse died from carrying the first season on its back by being the only good actor in the entire show
Great video as always. Just an FYI, the English county of Berkshire is pronounced "Barksher"
Horsy commited suicide ! out of shame being associated with Amazon Prod.
He was high on speed.
Horsy ! You will be remembered long after Amazon Rings of Power have ceased to exist.
