    Gandalf wearing shorts is the perfect outfit, befitting of the caliber of the work he is critiquing.
    Elrond discusses with Celebrimbor how torn he is feeling, about the possibility of breaking his oath with Prince Durin, by revealing the existence of Mithril to others, especially King Gil-galad, who has questioned Elrond about it, all while literally breaking his oath to Durin, by admitting Mithril's existence to Celebrimbor and showing him the sample piece he was permitted to keep. Absolute stellar writing!

    I've thought about why Elrond didn't fight Isildur that day he had the chance to destroy the ring.
    I think the most obvious reason might be that it could have caused a war between elves and humans. After the death of his father, Isildur was king, after all.
    Since Sauron was no immediate threat anymore (I mean, it took him 5000 years to make his move after his defeat that day), fighting over the ring might not have gone well with everyone involved.
    And with how short lived humans are in comparison to elves, Elrond probably thought there'd be plenty of time to take care of it later. But the ring got lost.

      I always assumed Isildur WORE the ring to escape in short order. A guy like Old Elrond would have killed Isildur, and submitted himself to punishment at human hands. The guy was basically an apathetic christ-figure until this show decided to write him as a half-wit.

      I think it was moreso that Isildur was a direct living descendent of Elrond's brother Elros and he couldn't bring himself to destroy a part of the family he lost

      Maybe Elrond was thinking about it when Isildur was walking away out of Mt Doom; but that's the moment he tried on his new bling, vanished, and Elrond - all surprised and not a little miffed - went home.

    1. Numenorians have a standing professionally trained army, they would not send untrained volunteers on a military expedition.
    2. Numenorians are experts at sailing, and their empire is vast (more than a single island), they have more than 7 ships lol.
    3. They showed 7 ships, 2 were destroyed but claimed only 3 were left....
    4. Numenorians are well above 6' tall on average (including the women) and live for hundreds of years, they were considered the best of the race of men and yet are shown a be here as tiny petty humans.
    5. It was stated none of these numenorians faught against orcs... They literally fought back and won against the armies of morgoth ffs.
    6. Wine does not explode like dynamite or gasoline when in contact with fire.
    7. Guyladriel and -sauron- Halbrand had full armor in their traditional design, despite arriving with nothing.
    8. Watching a 5'3" zero-cup angsty actress trying to play a 2,000 year old 6'4" high elf is laughable. Galadriel was descended from royalty, raised by wizards (maiar) _and able to beat sauron back using only her powers (no swords)_
    Such a waste of a good character, like jean grey (X-Men) playing Deadpool instead. She's 10 million times more powerful than any human/numenorian, yet she hasn't once used any elven magic or wisdom because the showrunners wanted to turn her into Joan of Arc girlboss.
    9. The actress playing Guyladriel stated she needed therapy from all these terribly choreographed fight sequences and men lunging at her, she has no action experience, didn't train for the role nor read any of the source material making her the worst casting choice of the decade. She is weak and frail in real life which is why it's not convincing to see her try and project strength onscreen. Bad casting choice.

    This is pure Comedic gold. Well done! Ned is a great touch. "Proper classy Rohirim"... fucking Hilarious! It refects the random irrational nonsense we see throughout Rings of Power. "People seem to be just doing stuff for no reason"...exactly! It's as though a bunch of 8-year-olds wrote the script. This is even more devastating to Amazon than the ridiculing/mocking reviews other channels are doing. Absolutely brilliant! Amazon is panicking...we are seeing heavy promotion everywhere...on buses...During NFL games...everywhere. They are spending multi-millions trying to salvage this pile of shit and it won't work.
