Season 2 is currently swimming from Valinor back to Middle Earth. It may take a while.
This comment was better than the show. Well done 😂
Wait until Guyladriel Warrior-Goddess of Girl-Bossing, learns how to teleport. 🤨
Swimming? They're barely treading water. S2 will probably shipwreck and wash up, half dead, on the shores of Prime Video.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@adamlongawayI don’t imagine anyone would take that as a compliment
I forgot rings of power exists, the only times it ever comes up in conversation is when someone is making fun of it being so poor.
They killed off Bilbo Cosby
It sadly was really bad. Not well done.
I never saw it, it looked like bad fanfic written by people who'd never read the original fic.
@@JasonSmithPsychedelicTherapistAnd not even like those bad sci-fi films like piranha 8. You know, something so bad it’s good? This is just bad
@@Mikey__R It was worse than you imagined......by a LOT.
Some things SHOULD remain forgotten and lost
The world has cange
Ha! Well done!
@@messiahzanbar4956i can feel it in the water
I’ll do you one better, why is season 2?
I’ll do you one better: WHO is season 2?
What is season 2? We all know what season 1 was: rubbish!
Chef's kiss
three words : Sunk. Cost. Fallacy.
@@petriew2018 I agree that the SCF is a deal. But I hope for your sakes, that they took onboard the criticisms, rather than this. I noped out after Ep 1.
I believe this is the cue for the GIF of a "Starship Troopers" Neil Patrick Harris yelling, "It's _afraid_ !"
This is gold
One of my favorite memes is Orwell reading a book called "2023" while blurting out, "HOLY F*CK!"
He wouldn't say that, he would say "Just as planned hehe"
He would get grabbed for saying holy
Orwell was a true "antifa", desperately trying to warn Western society of the incompetence and excesses he saw under Fascist Socialism in his own youth.
Alongside Animal Farm these books were a work of warning against the two most likely routes to Fascist dystopia:
runaway Capital Socialism
radical revolutionary Communism.
@@manoz6194 I dont think you know who Orwell was
@giokun100 he was Eric Blair
They were once crew members. Then, amazon the deceiver gifted to them 9 AI generated images. Blinded by their desire to leak details, they took them without question. One by one, they fell into darkness.
"Do you know why a stone sinks? Because it looks down."
"But.... here's a stone. I can't see any front or back to it. How can it look in one direction?"
"It looks down.... metaphorically."
"But the metaphor doesn't work. Because the stone has no front."
"Do you know why a little girl gets her head slapped?"
Do you know why this series sinks, and Lord of the Rings does not?
Because Ring of power writers are bunch of talentless fucks@@rytlocknroll
Can’t wait for another “mega fan” video to really get me hyped
Sméagol does not know of it, Sméagol wishes it not to be
The 'Rings of Power' show-runners, producers, directors, consultants and actors ALL made explicit their distaste for Tolkien's work. From the outset there was little more than contempt for both Him and His imagination from every level of the production.
It shows.
The problem is that the timeframe in the Tolkien universe it's set in, is the portion of the book content Amazon doesn't have the license for.
Which begs the question, why did they even bother doing it in that time period in the first place?
@@OverworkedITGuy Because they had no rights to the existing timeline, they had no rights to any books, nothing. All they got were the appendices, so they just started making shit up
@@TheNightman. Yep. Which exactly the WRONG way to approach Tolkien content. And they should have known better than that. Especially after failing at Wheel of Time beforehand. They just went out of their way to drop every ball and screw up in every way imaginable until they eventually started making up new ways to screw up.
@@OverworkedITGuy it also doesn't help that what they made up is just objectively crap, not even in comparison to someone like Tolkien
When you feel the need to give a volcano an origin story, and that story requires getting even the basic physics of volcanism wrong.... yeah, in no fictional universe are you likely to find success. The biggest problem with Rings of Power is that it's just really bad.
@@petriew2018 amen. And for some reason, they continuously believe budget is an acceptable replacement for good writing, no matter how many times it is demonstrated to them that is NOT the case.
Fallout is due in a few days. Let them screw that up first.
Fallout actually looks like it's gonna be great though.
Fallout actually doesn’t look half bad, the costumes look good, the aesthetic is all there and the cast genuinely seems like they’re having a good time, but who knows, time will tell
Listen, I'm as cynical as most around here....But I am cautiously optimistic about the Fallout show. I despised Ella Purnell in that Snyder zombie movie, but she seems to have a decent take on this show. I think the set dec and props are absolutely on point...and Walton Goggins doesn't need to make crap TV these days. I guess we'll see.
As for Rings of Power? Who gives a shit? JSG must need an upload, because he hates this show more than anyone.
@@spiffygonzales5160 I'm just eternally skeptical. A show that's 90% good and sticks in progressive politics for no reason still sucks (Midnight Mass does exactly that, with a monologue scene about hatred against Muslims out of nowhere, for a character who is tough and wise and who complains about nothing). I think the opportunity to poke at capitalism, Cold War paranoia, and gun culture is irresistible. I could be wrong though.
@@spiffygonzales5160 everything Amazon does looks good in the trailers
Then pretty much everything Amazon does fails utterly when the characters start speaking and the plot falls apart by episode 3.....
With classic lines like "Give me the meat and give it to me raw" how can this show fail?
Well I mean the hobbits are really into food and they have shown to be used idioms related to food before so it's not surprising...
*whisper whisper*
Wait........what do you mean a dwarf said that?

Naw stone sinks because almost all stones are denser than water. It's also who Gollum should've hot the lava caught fire and stayed on top of it...
Let them waste money. Merit matters.
They don't waste any money. They pretend to spend Billions so they can money laundering.
Did you think anyone on amazon cares for LotR ?
They're waiting for the new tax year, so they can claim another annual tax deduction for their losses on it.
"Let him stay there. Let him rot! Why should we care?"
"It's not natural, none of it!"
They should redo it all. Just junk the first season.
Yep.
Certain companies like Amazon or Disney will never have the honesty to admit defeat like that. I think they will eventually shit out a season 2 and then create some convieneint excuse "beyond their control" to end it
It really will save them A LOT of money and grievance. As it stands, doubling down is only going to cost them more
sadly they arent that smart
In order to do it properly, they'd need the licensing rights to the Silmarillion since that's where the content surrounding Sauron's creation of the Rings and all the shenanigans he was up to in Numenor comes from. They didn't have those rights the first time around (which is a major contributor to why the show is so god awful). They are almost guaranteed to not be able to get them now from the Tolkien Estate after butchering it so badly the first time around.
Season 2, aka "Another Giant Dump on Tolkien and Jackson."
I swear the intrigue around RoP is more interesting than the show will ever be.
They're all talk. No show. Literally!
Doesn’t matter. I’m not watching it. I don’t understand why Amazon is wasting money. They could be in a state of denial. If season 2 of ROP flop. I wonder what they would do?
They'd do season 3 lol.
We don’t care lil bro
Hopefully they gave up and forgot about it
They found something else to destroy
We should be so lucky.
5 season plan? Oh gosh :D "Sheer, fk hubris" :D
That was in the contract with the Tolkien estate.
@@ForeverKnight71 I know but IMO it was dangerous for TE to make such contract and it was equaly dangerous for Amazon. Both parties have been ridiculously not careful in this topic :)
If they are smart they bury it like that batwoman movie and take the write off.
it is kind of fun watching them lose money tho.
They knew season 1 was a turkey. They know season 2 will be the same.
Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, what next will they ruin?!
I have a clue, but I don't want to give any ideas!
Keep it secret. Keep it safe.
the list of shows or movies not (yet) ruined are much shorter.. one piece and avatar springs to mind.. not perfect shows, but a bit away from being full on lore breakers like most of disney sw, doctor who.. etc.. actually.. most of what disney has touched in the last decade.. maybe more
@@flying-oyvinatordon’t give them anymore ideas
Amazon has not learned at all form season 1. In other news I'm more looking forward to the new tau codex for 10th edition warhammer 40000.
Thank the gods the 40k community firmly and roundly rejected the DEI garbage.
@@antonkovalenko364 i think it's more that Games Workshop actually used it greed for good for a change. The people whining about the lack of diversity in the most comically totalitarian nightmare of a universe in modern scifi probably aren't gonna be buying jack shit in the first place. They clearly aren't really fans of the product.
Can't wait! I mean I was on the edge of my seat in season 1 waiting to find out who "not Gandalf" and "not Sauron" were. Absolutely gripping!
Let's not forget that including diversity was so important to them, so central to their USP for this show, that they completely forgot about the two whole races of men that aren't white and have plenty of room for unwritten stories in the Second Age that wouldn't need access to more material than is legally available.
Harfoots are a very small, tight-knit society (except for the whole "leave you to die at the drop of a hat" thing) that shuns all outsiders and have been reclused to themselves for thousands of years.
Amazon: "Make them randomly diverse!"
They probably spent as little as possible on season 2. The people who will watch it have no standards so they won't even notice.
The one good thing about “The Rings of Power” is … they didn’t buy the rights to the Silmarillion so it will remain unsullied.
my favorite part in rings of power was when female gay sauron (femron) was scissoring with galadrial while Celeborn was crying in the coner wearing a leash. ambiguously ethnic sauron showed up and handed femron the one ring, and said "the one ring, it is perfect" to which femron replied "It will be, when it fits a woman!" meanwhile galadrial proclaimed "there is a storm inside of me!" while showing us her O face, then Celeborn stood up and clapped. so stunning, so brave.
The show is very bad, yes - but so is this attempt at humor.
Icl I'd watch that
Got to be better than the trash they produced. I could not get passed episode 2
4 episodes was enough for me to know I want to watch something else. Unless they did some dream sequence to wipe out the first season or hired all new amazing writers , this show will never be more than disappointment
You outlasted me. I watched the pilot and half of the second. My son woke me up when the episode was over and I never watched it again.
they only part of RoP i watched was the volcano sequence because it was the shiny keys of rube goldberg machines.
I only got through the first two episodes and stopped. Just couldn’t get into it.
Wait. You made it all the way through episode 4? Good on you champ! 🎉 I assigned myself to watch the show so my favorite critics weren't watching it alone and so I could stan them and Tolkien without anyone having the valid criticism that I hadn't even watched the show. I still couldn't make it past the mangy chihuahua at the end of episode 3.
Cool story lil bro
"It fell into the Great River, Anduin, and vanished." 😉 Or so we wish 🙏
That level of pollution would ve bad for the Anduin. It would kill the crops and people.
@@newtpondskipper Oops, so true... 😄 Let's hope then that it accidentally fell into the fires of Mount Doom.
Season 2 will be worse. Simon Tolkien is involved. You know he hates his grandfather legacy
I know this was just a quick part, but i agree that Orwell meant to exaggerate human tendencies that are usually much more covert as a way of bringing those manipulations and machinations into the light and exposing the tyrannical impulses to make people think.
It was totally wild realizing that Rings of Power came out in September 2022. Where does the time go? Wow
Hello Future Me is going to see this and cry for another 2 hours
That poor man suffered for our sins.
So many are eager to enjoy the schadenfreude that comes with Season 2.
Not even that, no
Shhh don't remind them, maybe they'll forget and vault it instead.
They "demoted" they show runners from last season which mean they got fired but will receive a screen credit
8:01 Whatever they release won't salvage their show for Tolkien fans anyway, or any thinking audience, plus all those talentless hacks can come up with will be just as worse as their infamous Super Fan interview.
I simply don't understand, why are they still producing it.
I’ve got a genuine suspicion that AI was used to write the first season, at least to a degree. Every line of dialogue spoken by the elves was the most generic and artificial feeling lines every put to a script. Almost every sentence contained some sort of over elaborate metaphor and unnecessarily complex diction. It felt as if someone prompted an AI with “high fantasy dialogue from pretentious ancient elves” and went with it.
You're giving modern writers way too much credit saying it was machines that wrote it, and not them. I mean you're sort of correct that it was machines and not humans, but these are the college-educated type of machines.
Such a shame what they’ve done to the legendarium. You’d think if they only had the appendices they would only stick to the appendices
It hopefully died, just like Galadriel should have while trying to swim back to Middle-Earth or when she face-tanked that pyroclastic flow at the "creation" of Mount Doom.
I don't think we even need season 2. The first one was insulting enough.
Wheel of time n lotr are two things I wanted them to do right, but they didn't cause I don't matter.
0:30 I don't really care but you can't say Season 1 was not heavily advertised. They literally spent millions on a Superbowl ad. No TV show ever does that.
We were willing to provide them with our armorers and horsemen but they went the CGI and portly unskilled extras road.
it's not satire, it's dystopian, just because some interview claims that he said that does not make it true.
The correct answer is another question: "Who gives a f**k?"
If Amazon wants to save money, they could fire some executives (preferably the ones that signed off on Rings of Power) and hand the rest (including Jeff) a hefty pay cut. When will the little guys stop paying for the mistakes of the higher ups?
The Super Influencers are currently watching it in a Spanish castle.
They couldn’t withstand the colossal backlash. The entire LOTR fan base shot that shit down and made Amazon fold like paper.
They will do well to remember that this is what happens.
Season 1 made me more mad than what disney has done to star wars.... you expect this nonsense from disney. Wasn't expecting amazon to ruin something else beloved by nerds everywhere.
They haven't ruined anything. This is like saying Mr. Pibb ruined Dr. Pepper. One was always an off brand... Same with the Star Wars situation. You either stick with the real deal, or you deserve to be disappointed. The analogy isn't really good enough because Mr. Pibb is at least decent, but you get what I'm saying.
Please, no. I was really hoping the rumors about totally scrapping season 1 and starting over were actually true. 😢
To be fair, why film in New-Zealand of your about to use green-screen in 90% of your scenes behind a lizzo dressed as a dwarve?
Free vacation for the vapid crew of liberals who would obviously love to be in a gun-free zone that's an entire shitty country.
But who WANTS it?
So they're doing the same thing. What does that mean; that they haven't learned?
They have some guy playing... Celeborn? Okay. Is this a retrospective, or has he gone to the Halls of Mandos and returned?
... wait. This isn't Tolkien's work. Why do we even care?
Where oh where, but really, who cares :)
The whole marketing campaign prelaunch was all about where the dangly bits were on the main characters, what type of melanin they had or what type of SJW they were IRL Perhaps they leaned one lesson at least. Or maybe they couldn't find any idiots to pretend to be 'tolkien superfans' ......
If you don't race bait, you can't rack up those victim points.
ROP has no Season 2. RoP needs no season 2. 😂
It wasn't good, you re dreaming ...
"Wuh? Huh? Oh... O-okay...Heh... Uuh Maybe If I go back to sleep, I'll only ever remember this and as dream and forget it 15 seconds after I deliberately wake up."
that 5 seconds of sauron cameo in his full armor is the only scene im interested in. in fact, in season 2 and beyond, i just wanna see giga chad sauron
satire /săt′īr″/
noun
A literary work in which human foolishness or vice is attacked through irony, derision, or wit.
I don't think that it's people don't know it's a satire, I just don't think most people know what the word satire means.
It's going to be a train wreck, think about when season 1 came out and how much worse Hollywood has gone down the rabbit hole since then. Season 1 was some of the unintentional funny TV in years, I'm waiting for season 2 to drop I need a good laugh.
I'm in the same boat. I need my fix of youtube critics *destroying* this show. That is my entertainment now, lmao.
I've saved a lot of money ever since I canceled my Amazon Prime when RoP came out. Thanks Amazon!
They don't want to hire a storyboard artist because they want to save as much money as possible in case the season flops. More money means they can make another season for the sake of pushing their message.
I barely remember that thing ever existed😂😂
Never forget Simon Tolkien is the head of the Tolkien estate now and he has his revenge over his father finally. They already said they will make 4 themes and amazon lost so much freaking money with season1... how can they afford s2 when they're already laying off workers?
I gotta ask, WHAT EXACTLY did his father do that required revenge?
@@troffle that suppose Simon never care about lord of the rings when he was small and when Tolkien died he hand it to his older brother who actually care about it that why we got the 3 The Lord of the Rings movie by Peter Jackson who he only had the right cause he care about the lord and when his brother died Simon took over, and since he never care about the lord he just sell to whoever got the money so this is his revenge
@@SoldierSpiderx Simon is Christophers son what are you even talking about.
@@bz6046 Plus, if he "never care about" it, then why would he give a damn. The logic on this explanation doesn't work either way...
This show was such an insult to Tolkien and Peter Jackson's movies. No interest in Amazon's DEI reworking of Tolkien's masterpiece.
While we wait for something we don’t want in the meantime we have house of the dragon season 2 to keep us company!
vinland saga s2 has a great director and storyboard. music is top notch.
Shhhhhh... People have almost forgot it existed! Don't speak it's name!
After the review I left for season 1 I'm not surprised Amazon left any hint about season 2 off my prime feed. And I'm grateful, I wish I could get the time back.
The same reason Bob Iger produces shit. Maybe what he really wants is to destroy Disney.
All they had to do was take the books, change little to NOTHING in them and put someone who RESPECTS Tolkien in charge.
But nope, they f*cked it up ON PURPOSE, they've failed and I for one is *NOT* going to give them ANY KIND OF SECOND CHANCE.
they were so hopped up on hate and "the message" they turned the show into a giant smouldering tire fire.
Ok, while I know the Hobbit, LOTR and the Appendixes very well, I’ve never been able to get thru the Silmarillion. And I know there’s tons of history, action etc in it. But while it took a while to get ROP started, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I love how they incorporated mithril as from the trees to add magic. And how that entered into the magic of The Rings. I thought Galadriel, Cirdan and Elrond, and especially Sauron were excellent. So feel free to tell me how wrong I am.
Stop it. Get help. When you go to a shrink, you will feel better. Praying and thinking of you...
@@MagMar-kv9ne You get help. Or better yet, if you don’t like the show, don’t fking watch it.
See if they just said ‘we’re sorry we messed up can we try again’ I don’t think anyone would object
I felt a bit betrayed by season 1. I loved the trailer and was looking forward to it. I won’t be watching season 2, but I hope it’s better for the folks who do.
2:52 I guess filming in Vancouver to cut production costs only works in syndicated shows.
Can't wait, there's nothing else out there and the storyline is fascinating to follow. I have some real favorites.
Wait, that shit is going to have season 2? Humanity is doomed
I can't wait for season 2! RoP has spawned some of my absolute favourite youtube content. It is the gift that keeps on giving.
6:16 same here
I remember a post literally saying "I haven't checked yet" *as they spew nonsense a Google check would save you the embarrassment from!*
I predict a lot around the obviously gay blue wizards in season 2.
Asking about RoP S2 is like talking about racism. If you stop talking about it, it'll go away.
Here's hoping you do a review of each episode like last season. Each time one was out I would grab a warm coffee milk giggling like an idiot just to hear you point out what mistakes they made from the episode.
Don't torture him.
I always saw 1984 as a prediction. As was Animal Farm. We do have talking pigs now after all. Just look at the show runners of Power Rings.
Imagine sunk cost fallacy for the most expensive millstone in history. I'm sure it'll be good this time. Pinky promise.
Forgot how much I enjoy your content.
I forgot bc even though I’m a sub, I’m still not getting notified of your new content.
What gives UA-cam?
I get hundreds of random non applicable crap daily but not content I actually subscribe to?
UA-cam changed their algorithm in January. It's messing with a lot of channels, regardless of their size. It seems like YT is picking and choosing who to promote. I've had to manually check for videos from popular channels like Rick Beato, which never used to happen.
@@JustSomeGuythanks for the heads up- defeats the purpose of subs
Beyond that it’s downright sinister- choosing what content we should see rather than allowing us to determine what content we want
Not to mention it’s a terrible business model
I’ll search for your channel manually in the future
As always- great content
Rings of power most defo isn't lotr! Especially seeing as how isildur and his dad weren't even born when the rings where created! And galadriel (the real one with actual power and not some angry teenager with pointed ears) had never visited numenor!
Of course Amazon used AI why would a muti-billion dollar company hire an artist
I'm not mad at the AI art I made cuz it was Amazon. If it was some indie I wouldn't care
Rings of Power went silent/ vibration mode.
It is rumoured that Cera will play a "stoor" ( a branch of a hobbit) . Apparently, he will be in Nori's and Gandalf's arc .
It is also rumoured that Sauron will be played by both Vikers and Calam Lynch. Lynch will also play Celeborn. It is said that , there are 3 potential endings for Celeborn's reavel, and at the moment, all of them are plausible. The only thing that is apparently decided upon is that Sauron will disguise himself as Celeborn and "mess" with Galadriel's head.
Come on, the two actors are both men and have the same brown eyes, according to identity politics, that means they look totally alike.
As an Amazon employee and a High Fantasy lover, I dont want this show to have anymore seasons. They already blew through their budget, they should just instead redirect all that money back to the warehouse and just give us healthcare.
they get their money for blackrock, Propaganda is more profitable than art
And I will guarantee you that that audience that they had at the end of the first season. I bet half or majority more won’t show up for the second season Amazon just might as well realize now they paid $1 billion for a giant crested turd.
1:00 If the title was unknown to me I would think it was a straight to DVD film from the Hallmark channel.
