100% agree, it's quite the reach by the writers suggesting he'd double down after a loss, doing the same thing, making more rings, for men which he trusts least, and no logic explained to us why in doing so, it will fix the problem with the one dwarf ring we've seen in action. Maybe get a second dwarf ringbearer's opinion? Seems like a lot riding on the experience of one right bearer out of a total of seven.
“Talion please take me back, ever since Sauron *absorbed* me he’s been showing me visions of this twisted version of myself who’s quite pathetic.” -Celebrimbor
Boromir continues to be my favorite in these. Characterizing him as the voice of reason, all be it with a bit of a ring grabbing problem, was bloody brilliant
It will go fir 5 years Jeff will push it til five years, his ego won't let him admit defeat and cancel the show. RoP is AI generated screenplay and it must succeed, it will get better. He has gambled to much into it, he will double, triple, quadruple down. It will win awards before it done, even if he looks like the lady from Hollywood Boulevard movie. Ready for my close up....
Shoul also check out art spears entrainment portrayal of him on what if he lived in the original movie. "That's right....I have a shield. I've only been carrying it throughout the whole bloody movie!"
The maelstrom/"kraken idea" bit seemed like the real humor there, that was just an additional humorous aside to put the joke into context and make sure we knew what he was talking about.
@@justforever96yeah the whole "Kracken idea" wordplay had me in stitches. Especially because it's such a Yorkshire and that sort or region expression, although it might be dated now (I got no idea) but I've heard "alright lads, lets crack on now shall we".. -> but if anyone has seen "Peep Show" don't say that around Super Hands.
This is the only way i've been watching it, same with the Star Wars shows. I'm not actually watching that garbage, this guy actually makes it somewhat entertaining though.
The anvil hanging from the ceiling is my new bar for stupid, last season it was the orc tower held together by rope. It's like the writers really want to use rope but don't really understand the concept of rope and what kinds of things it's used for.
I thought it at least went up on a shelf or something, which still would be stupid... But I guess not. It makes very little sense to put an anvil away at all.
It's like they heard about early wooden construction techniques before the invention of nails (where various peoples did use ropes/cordage to bind the joints), but didn't realize that they had structural limitations (ie no evidence of giant wooden towers relying on it)
@@svenkollskegg3812 A pegged together mortise and tenon might be too careful and precise for orcs. But surely they could do large iron bands, since clearly they forge blades. That seems more orcish than sitting around weaving tons of cordage.
I found your channel about 2 weeks ago and have legit watched your LOTR, ROP, and Star Wars playlists on repeat since! So funny! (also, saw Beetlejuice yesterday too)
“You don’t have to say hi to him, he’s not here.” 😂😂😂😂 Frickin LOVE your Boromir, both honorable, and sometimes more than a little… naive I’ll say. 😂😂😂😂
"Is Sauron a master manipulator? So far it seems he points out something Celebrembor COULD do to put a stop to his plan, and explain to him ALL the reasons why he should do that, and just hope that Celebrembor continues to make a dumb decision" - Boromir. He continues to say what the audience is thinking.
Boromir was rather patient with Gan-galad. One does not simply plop down on the couch without properly introducing oneself. His great eye is always watching.
A billion dollars spent and they couldn't even hire a decent jeweler to make good looking rings. Rings of Power? They look more like the candy rings you get in a 25 cent vending machine.
@ghostnote1970 I don't remember where exactly, but there is a line about each of the rings being fancy and adorned with large gems except the one ring. I tried to find it real quick but I ain't spending hours looking for one line of text.
The Rings were designed by John howe who was one of the two concept artist on lotr alongside Allan lee. He was the one who designed Gandalf, amon hen and the fell beast to name a few
i dont recall where did Tolkien wrote : "Isildurs sister was a dumb easy manipulated 15 yo girl that she would rather see her father get killed than things not go her way"
"Cant believe I'm stuck with one of these delicate little Nancy boy elf rings when i could had one of these chunky gold MFS" me: "he's out of line, but he's right"
O.k. I need more videos between 30 minutes and 1 hour. Everyday I use the almost 25 to 30 minute videos for naps and the hour plus video to sleep at night. Now the baby elf is my favorite now, he is so smart and cool. Hus come backs are crazy. He is the only one to check Gandof.
Ok, thanks to Gandalf little speech at the end I noticed, to my utmost horror, that somehow I hadn't subscribed to this channel yet. Fixed it quicker that Boromir corrected Gandalf on Hi King, obviously.
im paused at 14:31 because i had to catch my breath... i just discovered this channel and have binged about 5 of the gandalf roasts/ reacts episodes. this channel, dab and bong rips and tater chips has become my new pass time.

It looks all messy.
The sea is always right
sometimes
“Become a ring wraith already we’re bored” 😂😂 killed me
Busting out a Robin Williams impression from out of nowhere...you're just showing off now 🤣
Made me smile though. Almost shed a tear.
just in case 10:08 )
RIP to the legend Robin Williams
Doing a Impression of a man who is know for his many impressions is quite impressive
“Talion please take me back, ever since Sauron *absorbed* me he’s been showing me visions of this twisted version of myself who’s quite pathetic.” -Celebrimbor
😂 Poor Celebrimbor nobody deserves that torture
Nice reference @bigyoshi5170
Is Talion canon in the lore?
@@arbknight12 no sadly (I like his character that's why I said sadly)
Celebrimboringashell.
Remember! Every Filet-o-Fish bought, a third of the purchase goes to support an Orc family living in the plains of Gorgoroth.
LMAO
Boromir continues to be my favorite in these. Characterizing him as the voice of reason, all be it with a bit of a ring grabbing problem, was bloody brilliant
*Wig* grabbing problem. At least in this one
Sean Bean is phenomenal in this series 😂
Yes that is hilarious! And yes this Boromir is my favorite too! - a big fan in America
High king.
You don't have to say Hi to him, he's not here. 😅
Love that joke 😂
Boromir's logic has been flawless this season 😂 Shame he wasn't alive in this age, would have been the ultimate hero
Absolutely 😂
It's now canon that Denethor consistently pouted and used the silent treatment to try to manipulate his sons into retaking Osgiliath
@@miguelgracia-zhang4039
It's just the kind of thing he would do.
I loved that part😂
I would love a compilation of Boromir. He’s a precious, awkward goober. I love him.
And yet also the most rational and clear-thinking.

So when they talk about "Power over Flesh," what they really mean is "Power over Fish"??? Huh...
@@sixthjayhawk
So it would appear.
"Oh the silent treatment! Sauron's got all the tricks" 😂
That high king retort by boromir. Absolutely caught me off guard. Very well done, very funny.
👋🚶
The Gangalad bit is brilliant; additionally your impersonations improve every episode!
"Anyone see a coyote run through here? He was chasing a roadrunner." 🤣
The Robin Williams impression was awesome 😂
Right?! Even the facial Expression included. 😄👍
He should let "Robin Williams" be hisTom Bombadil.
Loved the discussion of password security.
The password was so obvious that Gandalf didn’t think the dwarves would be dumb enough to use it
it reads: "The doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, Fr1£ND, and enter."
As much as I love this, there's something very wrong when I love the parody far more than the source material
Oh, I think there's something very *right* with that!
Watching this parody is the only thing getting me through the "show".
Rings of Power might as well be a parody itself. I vote to make this video canon. At least it is better written.
Source material? RoP doesn't even have that
Which is the parody, though?
Boromir's "I'll just get my goggles and life insurance", had me in bits...
Me too. Me goggles and me life insurance. 😂😂😂😂😂 Brilliant I love Boromir. All of them but especially him. Loved it when he pulled the (elf's?) hair.
The maelstrom/"kraken idea" bit seemed like the real humor there, that was just an additional humorous aside to put the joke into context and make sure we knew what he was talking about.

Love the running joke about Borimir not understanding "hi" king
This is how I'm watching the season.
It's the only way to do it.
Yep, this is the only way I'm watching RoP.
This is the only way i've been watching it, same with the Star Wars shows.
I'm not actually watching that garbage, this guy actually makes it somewhat entertaining though.
Watching this I actually felt this big moment of happiness that these abominations exist ONLY because they brought us these videos 😊
Me too.
These videos are the only things of value to come out of Rings of Power.
To be honest, in the end this was well worth the one billion dollars... 🤣
Boromir questioning the legitimacy of the power rings is hilarious 😂😂
Yooooo... Boro saying he saw a coyote chasing a roadrunner in the forge is hysterical Charlie, that made me literally, LOL 😂
Rings of Prime makes zero sense until you watch Charlie 😂
The anvil hanging from the ceiling is my new bar for stupid, last season it was the orc tower held together by rope. It's like the writers really want to use rope but don't really understand the concept of rope and what kinds of things it's used for.

Your average 23 year old Ivy League graduate Hollywood writer has only heard of rope. Heard and dreamed of it. 😅

It's like they are setting up for a Looney Tunes ACME anvil falling on someone. Chain would've made more sense at the very least.
Boromir keeps being the only voice of logic, bless him. Such a chad.
I found your channel about 2 weeks ago and have legit watched your LOTR, ROP, and Star Wars playlists on repeat since! So funny! (also, saw Beetlejuice yesterday too)
Tell everyone you know. Charlie is genius.
Your videos are the only justification for Rings of Power. Amazon needs to pay you for keeping it interesting
'machine gun?' made me burst out laughing
When Elendil said “The sea is always right” in this week’s episode, I actually said out loud, “Oh, Gandalf’s gonna love that.” 😂
“You don’t have to say hi to him, he’s not here.”
😂😂😂😂
Frickin LOVE your Boromir, both honorable, and sometimes more than a little… naive I’ll say.
😂😂😂😂
I love Boromir's insistence on relentless logic. He's my guy.
I immediately thought of Dead Poet Society in that scene, too! I was so happy you put that in this.
So this whole time Saurons great goal was monopoly over Middlearth fish market! What a twist!
I haven’t seen anything else from RoP 😊
One fish to rule them all
It made the Hansa very powerful in the middle ages.
After all the herring trade made the northern realm of Denmark very rich and mighty indeed in the late medieval period.
"Is Sauron a master manipulator? So far it seems he points out something Celebrembor COULD do to put a stop to his plan, and explain to him ALL the reasons why he should do that, and just hope that Celebrembor continues to make a dumb decision" - Boromir.
He continues to say what the audience is thinking.
Sauron will destroy the worlds supply of fish! We must go to war!
The Icelandic Coastguard will be there.
@@alanpennie8013 Where was the Icelandic Coastguard when the Westfold fell?
@@kevinramsey417
Wondering where they could find some wheels.
you have my axe!
That logic shaped the medieval and Renaissance periods for Denmark and Sweden.
Robin Williams' cameo is spot on.
Anyone ever notice how with his ears and hair Celebrimbor looks like he could fit in with the ferengi on deep space 9 😆
YES!!!! I've been thinking that all season! Spot on haha
One machinegun to rule them all… This Gandalf 😂
Charlie's Boromir always looks like he's recovering form the flu. There should be a small table with a bottle of Nyquil next to him.
😂
Boromir was rather patient with Gan-galad. One does not simply plop down on the couch without properly introducing oneself. His great eye is always watching.
I can't remember why Elrond is a baby in these reactions but I absolutely love it
It's to depict young Elrond from the show
I think it’s because Elrond is much younger in Rings of Power.
A billion dollars spent and they couldn't even hire a decent jeweler to make good looking rings. Rings of Power? They look more like the candy rings you get in a 25 cent vending machine.
To be fair that's actually consistent with the lore. All the rings of power were gaudy and gross looking except the one.
@@kendallhudak What? Where does Tolkien writes that the Rings of Power are gross?
@ghostnote1970 I don't remember where exactly, but there is a line about each of the rings being fancy and adorned with large gems except the one ring. I tried to find it real quick but I ain't spending hours looking for one line of text.
What do you expect from the most expensive series ever made? Accounting?
The Rings were designed by John howe who was one of the two concept artist on lotr alongside Allan lee. He was the one who designed Gandalf, amon hen and the fell beast to name a few
Great robin williams impression
If only Talion and Celebrimbor had thought to craft the almighty machine gun, they could have saved Middle Earth.
Or made a Green Lantern ring.
i dont recall where did Tolkien wrote : "Isildurs sister was a dumb easy manipulated 15 yo girl that she would rather see her father get killed than things not go her way"
Borimir is so anxious and stressed out.
Holly shit, Gandalf doing a Robin Williams impersonation lol. bravo.
Dude! Hilarious, folding right up. Gets funnier each time.
Nice one mate 😅
These videos make my day every time. You are so talented. Please continue the "Hi King" gag, it always makes me cackle 😄
LOved it when Gollum suddenly turned into Gandalf at 17:08
Hearing Gandalf say, "motherfucker" will always not be jarring and hilarious 😂
Genius. I can feel both the essence of LOTR and high intelligent humour.
That Robin Williams impression 10/10 loved it. lol
You kill me, Char. I hope you have a full length feature film on the burner. I would pay to see it.
Okay. That was a really good Robin Williams impression. I really hope we get some more of it in the future.
“The elven rings can control fish” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every bit of dialogue is hilarious
And give anxiety 😂
Jack Black, King of Numenor, is really turning out to be an asshole.
Holy shit I was just telling this to someone the other day...I thought I was the only one lol!
Art imitating life?
I see Charlie, insta click.
Love all the stuff. Voices are spot on.
"Cant believe I'm stuck with one of these delicate little Nancy boy elf rings when i could had one of these chunky gold MFS"
me: "he's out of line, but he's right"
Gandalf doing a Robin Williams impression will never not be weird 😂😂😂
Boromir, never change. "What's he doing to that horse?"
"Old Immediate Regret-imir" haha
Just here to say I’m a huge baby Elrond fan. Too good 👍
Strangers from distant lands, friends of old, we are gathered here to answer the threat of RoP
So long and thanks for all the fish ... gives me the goosebumps.

Yes.
Something with the Microphone. It's covered by his Shirt.

This is one of your best, Charlie!
I’m just gonna watch this series instead of season 3 (if it happens). Bless you and your talents. 🙏
the fish scene had me cryinggg
I love the way Gandalf says "Boromir!" in a chiding tone. Great impression!
The whole Gangalad scene was gold
Ok, thanks to Gandalf little speech at the end I noticed, to my utmost horror, that somehow I hadn't subscribed to this channel yet. Fixed it quicker that Boromir corrected Gandalf on Hi King, obviously.

That little cameo from Saruman had me rolling 😂😂😂
Amazing Robin Williams impression!
How have I only just discovered this!??😂😂❤❤❤
I am obsessed with your videos! They are so good
The only reason I don't want them to cancel the show is because of these videos.
The "High King" bit always gets me
LMAOOO these just get better and better!!!
Lol! Dwarves want bling?
It was Thingol who wished that Nauglamír needed a Silmaril.
The Arkenstone had a similar effect,but Elves take drip to another level.
Mr. Hopkinson, you have forced me to watch RoP season2 so i can come here right after and laugh along. I love you and I hate you.
You don't have to watch the show to enjoy this

Some of the funniest lines are boromoir.!! So funny ‘Let mr grab my goggled and my life insurance”

This is some of the best LoTR content on the entire internet right now.
