Thanks for the recap, and thanks for actually sticking to what happened on the show instead of injecting your own personal opinion just to hate on it. I'm still not sold on the show to be honest, but some of the things in your recap actually cleared up some of the things that people who hate-watch the show disingenuously claimed. This is genuinely one of the best channels on UA-cam! Keep up the good work!
Honestly your my favourite UA-camr I love watching your stuff to catch up on stuff or know the story of things I haven’t had time to watch please keep up the amazing content
@@markselby9352 I can not talk about the US but worldwide nobody cares. Also there is not much competition in Amazon prime , don't you think? It would be the show to put them on the map, and it did up to a point, but For its budget, promotion campaign and the fact that is based on the lord of the rings lore, it failed miserably
@@markselby9352 Yeah, Amazon bragged about 25 million viewers on the premiere. Big whoop. You know what they didn’t mention? The Nielsen numbers that came after. Because people fled from this mess like it was the plague. By episode three, nearly a third of the audience was GONE. That’s millions of people saying, “No thanks, this isn’t worth my time.” The pacing? A complete joke. We got dragged through 2 seasons of slow-motion nothingness. And then the writing. These characters had about as much depth as a puddle. Tolkien’s world is supposed to be rich and vibrant, but this? This was as lifeless as it gets. And the critics, of course, kissed up to it because of the flashy visuals and bloated budget, but fans? Look at the Rotten Tomatoes audience score-in the toilet. IMDb scores? They tanked faster than Amazon could scramble to explain it away. You can throw all the money in the world at your show, but if the story sucks, people aren’t going to stick around. Amazon spent over a billion dollars, and what did we get? Some pretty scenery, a few cool effects, and absolutely no heart or substance to back it up.
People are never going to be happy. And the funniest part is that most of these so called LOTR fans think that because they watched PJ’s trilogy, and watched a few UA-cam videos that they’re automatically some fucking Tolkien scholar. Most of them HAVE NEVER READ THE BOOKS. Where was this outrage for the hobbit trilogy?? If people were true Tolkien fans they would know that PJ’s original trilogy and the hobbit trilogy deviated from the lore heavily. And I mean HEAVILY. I genuinely like this show, could there be improvements? Sure of course there could, but most of you clowns are just looking for a reason to board some hate train without even giving it a chance. You decided you hated it before you even watched it. There’s nothing to be done with these kinds of people. I just wish they would keep it to themselves lol.
The actress who played Bronwyn does a lot of women rights activism in the Middle East, so she left this season cause she wanted to dedicate more of her time to making the real world a better place.
The first pinned post on her Instagram profile literally said the decision to leave season two was UNRELATED to her activism 😂 (regardless, kudos to her for the amazing work)
Wow. I dont know about anyone else but 25% of the way through not only did I check how long was left but had no clue wtf was going on. TY for saving many hours of my life!!!
MoR to the rescue again. I meant to watch this season, but didn’t have the energy. Your recaps are much more entertaining anyway. Keep up the great work
Dude. Just now ran across your channel, and your sarcastic comments during recaps are freakin Hilarious! Keep up the great work. "You're a wizard, Harry!" 😂
I watched season one just hoping it would have something good. Was so disappointed at the end that I wasn’t going to watch S2. But this, this I can watch all day long. Elf thing, balrog traffic 😂. You are hella entertaining man .
Just found your videos, so grateful for your recaps to fill in the pieces I wasn’t 100% sure on. I am officially in love with you and plan to stalk your page for eternity ❤️
I was absolutely cackling at the "is this romance or just an elf thing" running joke XD
10/10 what a legend! Appreciate the effort. "Got stuck in Balrog traffic" was gold!
Another Recap to catch us up on the show we are to bored to watch but want to be in the loop. You are a true hero Mr. Recaps
100
omg, these recaps are getting better and better. Your writing is impeccable.
Absolute 💎 of a channel! Great delivery as always, especially about Bronwyn! 😂 Thanks again!
Thank you! 😁
Infinitely grateful for these recaps!

I hurt myself laughing at "Psych!, and yeets herself off the cliff!"
it's more entertaining to watch your video than the show itself..
Show was cool,
Thank you so much! Been busy with school and haven’t had the energy to sit and watch every episode. Another great recap 😊
Honestly your my favourite UA-camr I love watching your stuff to catch up on stuff or know the story of things I haven’t had time to watch please keep up the amazing content
how do I thank you enough? I can't imagine watching 9hrs of this.
9 hours of what? How can you judge something on it's quality without watching it yourself. You weirds are so lame
@@nocgenius5255come ok, you dont have to watch the human centipede to know that its garbage.
@@nocgenius5255 RME
Well damn, this season looks way better than than the 1st. I might have to actually watch it.
The "What? No" at 5:10 fits so well with the footage 😂
Finally! was really waiting for this one, thank you for your work sir!
Absolutely phenomenal as always. Thanks for what you do.
It's crazy that's the second season of a lord of the rings show and nobody cares . I mean how can you mess it up so badly 😂
1/5 good scenery, everything else smells bollocks
I mean it’s one of the most watched shows (if not the most?) atm on Prime so not sure why you think that

Thank you MOR. Your recap is better to watch than the actual show lol

Good for her i guess :D
No dude :)))
Who told you this?😂
The first pinned post on her Instagram profile literally said the decision to leave season two was UNRELATED to her activism 😂 (regardless, kudos to her for the amazing work)
Wow. I dont know about anyone else but 25% of the way through not only did I check how long was left but had no clue wtf was going on. TY for saving many hours of my life!!!
not even these clever, zippy recaps can "breath life" into this duddy show..
gotta say, was waiting for tom bombadill to be called jack black: "jack black brings maybe gandalf to a bunch of dead trees"
Love the recaps man perfect mix of recapping everything important while still keeping it funny 😂
MoR to the rescue again. I meant to watch this season, but didn’t have the energy. Your recaps are much more entertaining anyway. Keep up the great work
Hasn't watched the show but somehow judges if ya entertaining or not? Makes total sense! What a loser you are
Dude. Just now ran across your channel, and your sarcastic comments during recaps are freakin Hilarious! Keep up the great work.
"You're a wizard, Harry!" 😂
hilarious you referred to Kemen as Kevin this whole video. really suits him honestly
Many thanks for the recap as I couldn't get past the first couple episodes of both seasons.
Thanks for the recap I thoroughly enjoyed the first season but had a baby since so I can hardly find the time to watch shows now.
Mans right on it per usual 🔥
Make Numenor Great Again! 🤣
😂😂😂
I'm just so glad they brought Tom Bombadil!
Thanks Man of Recaps
"How can you tell the show is a mess that's trying to do too much?"
"ManOfRecaps took 16 minutes to cover the season..."
The recap is much more interesting than the show... Keep going our MAN OF RECAPS 🎉
I really enjoy your recaps
Keep up the good work ❤
This is the second time in a row were everyone knew immediatly who the mystery character was supposed to be
You never miss. Your a national treasure bro

Damn Gandalf the grey is awesome . I think season 3 will me more awesome and closer to war
I don’t care about the show, but I’ll take a man of recaps vid any day 🙌
Roastin Kevin is The best part 😅😅
They are setting this up perfectly so we can get a shadow of Mordor movie
“Make Numenor Great Again” 😭🤣
I watched season one just hoping it would have something good. Was so disappointed at the end that I wasn’t going to watch S2. But this, this I can watch all day long.
Elf thing, balrog traffic 😂. You are hella entertaining man .

Honestly the recaps clear up everything but the show itself is pretty great idk why everybody's hating on it
Thank god hes recap this
Very entertaining recap bro keep it up
Thank you so much for this.
lol Eminem impersonator
Love the recap, hate what they did !
Same
Thanks Man of R! You could do The Old Man too if you want, starring Jeff Bridges, just sayin'
This season was better than the first. I would love to know whats so good out there to warrant so many complaints..
Thanks a lot, I just saved myself 7hrs of pain! This one somehow seems worst than the first.
these 16min have been more entertaining than season 1-2 of this show combined. 😅
I love ur vids
I felt the same relief as Frodo when he destroyed the ring when the show ended..
tyvm
1:04 Did you edit the text in? Or is it just part of the show?
Is this season any better than the first? Started watching the first season when it came out but dropped it like 2 or 3 episodes in
Yes it’s 100 times better. The first season is a slow drag but ramps up at the end which sets up an amazing 2nd season
Another epic recap
honestly didn't even know a season 2 of this show was coming out, I dropped it 1.5 epsidodes into season 1
Glug was about that glug life 😂
Season 2 is a big elevation from season 1. The mood, lighting and i feel the more magical world of lotr
just when i wanted a new vid to come out
I LOVE UR WORK
PLEASE RESPOND IT WOULD MEAN A LOT

Saving countless hours of our lives!
Hi, can you make a recap for arcane season 1 if you have watched it? Thank you.

I dont know who you are dear sir, but I thank you very much. I did not have the stomach to watch a second season of this show
Grand Elf drop the 'R' = Gandalf
Epic

Just found your videos, so grateful for your recaps to fill in the pieces I wasn’t 100% sure on. I am officially in love with you and plan to stalk your page for eternity ❤️
The recap itself is way better than the show, which is not difficult to be honest.
You should do alien recap if you need ideas
Mate, you are a funny f__ker. Nicely done as always!
This season was so hard to watch
No it wasn’t haha. The first season was but this one was great
It’s messy but I’m fine with all this
