Guy-ladriel literally ran towards an erupted volcano. Even the molten lava couldn't break down the powers of toxic femininity.
Toxic feminity doesn't exist. Women are perfect, bigot
/s
and gynocentrism everything is filtered through a female lens.
The writers just do not know what a pyroclastic flow is, how fast it is and how hot it is. It carbonizes bodies by evaporating water on the spot while standing in it. She is dead now.
There is a Tempest in Me
They say Toxic Femininity is stronger than Mythril.
This gotta be a money laundring operation by Amazon.
Big LOL
This is a sentiment I've heard from at least 6 different people so far lol
Groomer island 2.0
Wondering the same
It promotes ωεf ideals such as the undermining of local cultures.
Post-credit scene (Cate Blanchett version of Galadriel) - She wakes up and tells Celeborn she had the most fucked up dream. Explains to her husband that she was single and was trying to hook up with Sauron.
I'd watch that...as long as she roasted the actress
I would pay good money to see this meme come to life!
Naa, she stepped out of a shower and tells Celebron that she had a terrible dream.
@@oraclebigdave Is that a Dallas reference? Jesus, I haven't seen that episode in 30 years, since I was a little kid watching it with great-grandma, but I still remember that scene...
seriously, I don't know how else they could right the ship after this abomination of a first season
When Galadriel says 'there is a tempest' in her, one can't help thinking this explains her facial expressions. She is obviously suffering from trapped wind.
And when she speaks the word of power.. Gas-xxxx.. that's when the original horn blast idea was used to summon aid lol. She lets it rip and you have a deep bass horn sound summoning aid. In future days they couldn't replicate that much gas because broccoli was banned lol.. so boromir had to use a horn.
@@mikenichols7760 That's fascinating. Is this mentioned in The Simarillion?
@@iainrobb2076 if I recall correct its in unfinished tails. The title is referencing the above mentioned gas magic.. seeing how she never seemed to finish. When she did on occasion "finish" she'd have to flee the forest out of shame of the bodily function accident. Lastly I've read she was mistaken for Radagast the brown on many an occasion. At a slight distance the brown robes couldn't be discerned from the real thing.. what with the body waste making the mistake unavoidable. That Is unless you were down wind.
@@mikenichols7760 If you were downwind you would certainly smell it. I'm surprisd she wasn't chased around all the time by flies.
@@iainrobb2076 even dare to dream.. being chased by the lord of flies?
The biggest proof that Halbrand is Sauron is the fact that he's falling for Galadriel. Only someone with twisted, corrupted, evil mind could find her attractive.
Indeed.
He wants to dominate her out of girl boss delusions
She doesn't move her mouth when she talks
Cmon, she may be a huge arrogant jerk, but she is defo not unattractive
Plot twist: Galadriel is Sauron and Halbarad, one of his followers who will become a Ringwraith, has been hunting him, to tell him to wake the f* up and be a man.
You know things are bad when, in successive episodes, you end up rooting for wolves and orcs and are now on Team Volcano.
To be fair I'm almost always on Team Volcano.
I rooted for the noble volcano but the villain Guyladriel is too strong.
Make Obsidian Great Again!
Guyladriel must fall, Team Vlocano Forever!
Team Volcano!
If your wondering where the 60 million per episode went ... it was to pay off the many shills because it certainly didnt go on any talented
writers, actors or special effects.
I wonder how much Shill Campea got paid.
Of the $60 million, I'd wager $10 million went directly to the show runners, $25 million went directly to the plethora of producers and executive producers, and another $10 million in nebulous "production fees" went to the production company. Subtract another $5 million in "marketing and publicity", and you are left with $10 million out of the $60 million to actually film the show.
good point
To quote Eric Clapton, "Cocaine"...
I feels way more like an expense inflation scheme to pay fewer in taxes.
To Amazon: As a woman, I’m actually with the original lack of female orc representation. In fact I encourage it.
fanbase: "cast it into the fire, destroy it"
amazon: "no!"
please cancel the show!
Also Amazon: "The show is mine. It is my legacy, it shall be the heirloom of my kingdom!"
Fanbase: "We were there, when the will to create content of quality failed, and evil was allowed to endure..."
I kind of paraphrased and mashed the quotes together, but I'm tired, it's late, I'm on my phone and I simply refused to look up the exact quotes, relying instead on memory.
Dracarys?
@@mirceazaharia2094 that's more effort than Amazon put into this billion dollar abomination ;)
“The rings of power is mine” walks away from Mount Doom.
But it's so entertaining! (to listen to reviews such as this)
They came for one of the fathers of fantasy but found his children unwilling to let them spread evil in his name. Long live the fellowship.
Tolkien is boring - i mean, the dwawrfs, elves etc are cool things and im glad lots of fantasy made them cool in other stuff. So yeah, who cares about elves singing in the forest? I want to see them unblock that black blood fountain the orcs carry.
@@stephenlyon1358 great take
@@stephenlyon1358 It seems your life is boring and you need real lifeexcitment. Maybe then you find unblocking real life black blood fountains not so exciting.
Well said
@@stephenlyon1358 Fly, you fool!
Tolkien Fans: "Cast it into the fire. Destroy it!"
Jeff Bezos: "No..."
"It should have ended that day, but pride and greed were allowed to endure. Bezos kept the franchise... and the line of workers was broken. There's no strength left in the world of original workers. They're scattered, divided, leaderless."
"There is one who could unite them, one who could re claim the rights of Lord of the Rings."
"He turned from that path a long time ago. He has chosen retirement."
One of Peter Jackson's fans strolls through the darkened gallery. His eyes are drawn to an old Fresco on the wall...depicting J.R.R Tolkien holding the books. The fan looks with wonderment at Narsil, the DVD boxes, PS2 games, which lie on a cloth-covered plinth.
"The books and dvds...the elements that kept the authenticity of the franchise. Still classic. But no more than a broken heirloom."
@@TheLatiosnlatias02 those ps2 games were great. I'd love to play them again
@@J.Wolf90
Wish they did a remake for ps5
The "1,253 million minutes" watched is because everyone was bored to tears, fell asleep, and had to rewind the show to see what they missed
we all slow down to watch a car crash
I fell asleep during the second episode when I realized the story wasn't going anywhere till the end of the season just like every other draggy serialized show on TV. But this show was even more boring than most and I never came back
Adar pretended to be running away with the artifact, but when he was intercepted by Galadriel and Halbrand, NO ONE got curious about what the thing was, even though Galadriel has been investigating literally every clue that would take her to Sauron. But wait, it's not over: She gives it to Arondir, still not curious, and Arondir, who's held the thing many times couldn't tell it was a ruse, and not only that! He gave it to Theo to give it to Númenor! Seriously? He was literally next to Miriel, and he assigns Theo with this job, the same Theo that was being creepy about it making him feel powerful? Oh, and Theo also couldn't tell it was a ruse by holding it. I mean, who wrote this?
Idiots who think the audience are idiots.
This applies to pretty much every second movie these days…
This show is dumb as a sack of hammers. As to your question, this particular episode has FOUR writers credited - two of whom are the show runners, who are extremely inexperienced and worked for Bad Robot as junior staffers prior to this (how they got given a billion dollar TV series, well I can only assume they have contacts or dirt) one who is so inexperienced with little to no writing credits that I couldn't even find out if he was another Bad Robot hack, and the other who is a writer/producer with a fair amount of credits - which are either all for terrible shows, or the worst episodes of some good shows - and again, a Bad Robot hack. They seem to have literally given a billion dollar series to a bunch of mostly inexperienced writers, and those that do have experience have shown themselves to be untalented. That plus the way every episode has felt increasingly smaller and less epic to the point where this episode felt like a 80's direct to video action flick - I just wonder where the hell did all that money actually go?
THERE IS A TEMPEST IN ME
Checkmate bruh
@@Beer_Dad1975 They were proteges of JJ Abrams. That's how they got the gig. They knew the right people.
And yes: This show had the typical mystery box bullshit all over it, a lazy technique in bankrupt storytelling.
What have we learned?
I learned I treated The Hobbit trilogy too harshly
For real. Although it was still disappointing how they did hobbit lol
Nah.Those movies are still shit
+1
@@MechaPlays I agree. I thought Unexpected Journey was the strongest with the following films getting gradually worse. I have to give Peter Jackson some slack though, he only had a matter of months to prepare for the project after Del Toro left.
They’re still pretty bad but this show was on an even lower level (my opinion).
I read this today. "A hack is a writer who second-guesses his audience. When the hack sits down to work, he doesn't ask himself what's in his heart. He asks what the market is looking for. The hack is condescending to his audience. He thinks he's superior to them. The truth is, he's scared of them or, more accurately, scared of being authentic in front of them, scared of writing what he really feels or believes, what he himself thinks is interesting. He's afraid it won't sell. So he tries to anticipate what the market wants and gives it to them." Steven Pressfield, The War of Art
Interesting...👍
I think it's worse than that now. These people don't even believe in anything or even think much.
Dang, that book was published in 2002. Still relevant.
Interesting, do these Balloon-Heads, who call themselves writers, even qualify as Hacks ? I'm not convinced half of them are even trying to 'anticipate' what the market wants, they seem more intent on pissing the market off whenever possible !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This!!!
"One cannot satisfy thirst by drinking seawater." Galadriel probably learned this line the hard way after swimming an entire ocean
there's a time for stupid lines like that and that definitely wasn't the time, haha, in real life he'd have told her to shut the fk up
Probably just met Bear Grills in a vision
@Cthulhu hahahahahah the best comment ever hahahahahah
It's the line used at spirit cooking sessions when they're handing you a goblet of "blood" lol
How dare U
I love how Bronwin gets run through by an arrow, then the next scene she's outside in full health, celebrating with the rest of the villagers in some big feast.
Didn't even consider that lol, Yeh espeically considering "she's cold, she's lost too much blood"
Im guessing the writers would say the seeds did it.
@@mydriasisintensifies6139 ...and I bet she's been waiting to get his seed for quite a while.
She used a cure potion, duh!
As a great man would say.
"Nah, it'll be fine."😎
I had keyhole surgery in my shoulder and was fucked for weeks, i always laugh when people get shot with bullets and arrows and keep going like nothing happened.
Sauron - "I am having trouble setting up my evil kingdom."
Tech Support - "Have you tried turning off, waiting ten seconds, and then turning on your volcano?"
Sauron - " hmm, no. Just a sec.."
Besides, we know how Galadriel survives. She is 'in tight' with a Maia. He could save her..
Where did that volcano turn up from? There was no mention of a massive volcano on their doorstep.
@@Aircool212 they completely changed mt dooms origin... why? Have no clue. Maybe melkor literally creating a volcano out of his own malice wasent as cool as some orcs diggin some tunnels and dropping some water on it.
You said it wrong it's Guy-Lad-reeee-L
What about all the other fuckers then?
There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of Men to describe this show.
Its cow manure, that’s what it is.
I heard a good sentence about this show.
"In this show you don't ask questions, you can't. You have to just consume it"
Just keep going! Don't slow down! Don't stop! Eventually you'll get there.
Basically Hollywood summed up. Don’t question the logic, or morality. Just consume more product. They don’t see us as people.
In hindsight, the Hobbit Trilogy wasn't that bad.
The Hobbjt trilogy was always enjoyable, In my opinion. It just wasn’t as good as LOTR.
Cut the first movie out I didn't like it except for 2 scenes. 2 and especially 3 are great movies just not LOTR level. Galadriel saving Gandalf is still the 🐐 entrance of Peter Jackson it's so perfect
It was tolerable IF you completely remove that Tauriel abomination.
Masterpieces compared to this, no joke. And I fell asleep to the 2nd Hobbit film.
The Hobbit movies needed a good edit and less interference from the studio.
Cut out the the love triangle. Cut Legolas completely or just make him a cameo in the Elven kingdom. Completely cut Radaghast from the movie he had no business being in it.
But it was a least entertaining and I wouldn't mind watching it again.
ROP is just bad on every level.
I swear the writing process used by the writers of this show was to hit themselves in the head with a claw hammer multiple times, and then see what they could think up.
nah,they use cheap AI from github to writes the script
they don't have the arm strength to do that
they hired a T person to smack their faces with their old junk
"Writing process"?
Amazon should deus ex machina this show
I wonder if this show is some attempt to get by some taxes or some shit. this show is so stupid, anyone could write this better.
Sean Bean is the most underestimated actor ever.
I agree
Watch sharp, Sean bean was awesome in that.
Watching Sharpe now thats soldiering
@@gameryazov8327 you need to also watch clip of him everytime he said ya bas.tard
@@insomniac8055 Didn't the author like him so much that he wrote book character to look like him?
It's impressive how they made a 6'4" female character look like 4'6".
I spat my coffee out when you said IGN gave it a 10/10 and had to go read their review. Absolutely hilarious.
IGNorant
I notice that IGN has an “Amazon Deals” tab on its website. Makes me wonder how impartial they really are (not at all).

Seeing Nerdrotic destroying this series is a marvel of entertainment, it is an act of precision and art, and it always puts me in a good mood.
Same
I second this. 😂
it's sure better than rings of power ...
This rage bait backlash doesn't work. It seems to be helping. People just need to tune out of all of this. It looks like the liberals are doing repeat viewings as a backlash to the backlash. Few cared about LothR.
AGREED 😎
I liked the part where Elendil the Tall, the man who, alongside Gil-galad, will eventually go toe-to-toe with peak Sauron on the slopes of Mt Doom in direct combat, got overpowered by three normal orcs and nearly died.
Great stuff.
LOL
😂😂
and that queen of his was watching his death from distance with a group of soldiers and couldnt care less. at least his boy was allowed to help him. she is really great. why did she came to middle earth again?
Its better seeing Ar-Pharazon,the most powerfull king of Numenor who ever lived, the guy that when he put a foot in middle earth Sauron himself surrendered because he knew he had no chance against him,look like a scared little man
@@broccolibeater nothing wrong with that. She's a commander or at least a very important person who just overlooks the battlefield with guards. That is absolutely believable considering her position and for her to see what exactly is happening with Elendil at that moment is not necessary.
The writers really ruined Tolkien's Galadriel by making her into a childish "warrior" wOmAn to appease the woke crowd who applaud this portrayal. Ironically, Tolkien wrote her as one of the wisest and most powerful beings of Middle Earth despite never wearing armor and riding off to war.
This is much more commendable because it really showed her strength and wisdom without making her into this shallow and ridiculous sword-swinging Guyladriel that she was very clearly never meant to be.
They want their believers knowing "she" is shown here this way so you know she's got bigger junk than you lol
I'm incredibly impressed that Guyladriel was able to teach the Númenoreans mounted/cavalry skills and tactics while on a boat trip.
She probably realised they were all hopeless and concluded that horses have more feet than people, so they'll fight better.
That’s what seahorses are for! LOL
She taught them the double file cavalry charge!
let alone, horses have bigger heads than humans and should therefore be much smarter.
No man could have done that.
GrrrlPowrrrr
I love the part where the Writers turned to the Producers and said "Let's make this Shit the most shittiest shit we have ever shat" then the Producers said "Great idea". Brilliant
My favorite part was when casting said “lets find the most unlikeable c+nt we can find to lead this shlt show” and the entire crew applauded loudly.
🤣🤣🤣
💀💀💀
Wow wow wow
Yes they are also proud about the brilliant writing of Guyladriel getting hit by fire and debris from the volcano thinking that it will shock the audience that she did not die. "We make it look like she is killed but the fans and especially the haters will find out that she is still alive!!! Woohoo we rock!".
Repurposed scenes in the 6th episode:

If I missed some, please feel free to add them.
Cheers!
The destruction of the tower at the beginning of the episode. It falls like Sauron's tower
more like Helms cheap.
- Chase scene in the forest, where a female Elf says "Noro lim" to the horse
I dont know, maybe its accurate becouse that is sindarin and though Galadriel as Noldor uses quenya, so she should not be used sindarin ( becouse maybe as Noldor she did not like to use Sindars lang but this should be "in revenge" becouse Sindarin monarchs banished the use of quenya as the language of Noldors who were the kinslayers for Sindars ) But the horse is from Numenor and so the command in sindarin makes sense as Numenorians used sindarin as their day to day language for centuries and quenya only on important events and documents. Most Numenorians knew both languages. And AFAIR Numenorians own language was developed from elven language. But in the times of Tar-Miriel Numenorians had been using only their own language becouse the elven languages were banished from use by the kings. So thats very smart horse - to know a command in a language not in use for about 500 years :D
U forgot to mention the scene where the wounded/on the brink of death, Orc gets picked up by Arondir(elf) to say something evil then dies(like the time Sharku was wounded and said that Aragorn fell from the cliff when Legolas picked him up in the aftermath of the warg/rohirrim battle). That was obvious af.
@@boblotoldo3051 yep. A tower has never fallen before. Not ever.
The part where Bronwyn screamed “Mind the door, mind the doo, mindor, mordor, Mordor!” sent shivers down my spine!
lol dude :D

This is hilarious! Haha
hodor hodor odor odor ador ador adar adar
Having not watched this awful show and never intending to, I could honestly believe that line was really in it.
Theo: I have a coke problem
Arondir: Here, hand this brick of coke to the cops then, that way you'll be free of it
Theo: *Cuts into the brick, has a taste* Wait, this is flour
@newtonvoig nothing has to make sense.
@newtonvoig he couldve literally just thrown it into some bushes lol
I enjoyed when the teleporting Numenorians were riding from the West with the dawn behind them, and the Orcs in the East heard the rumble of their hoofs under pitch black darkness. Every episode of this show seems written and directed by Simple Jack.
They went full retard? Never go full retard ..
Simple Jack reference very well appreciated. Nice! 👏 👏 👏
Ed Wood Jr: "What do YOU know? Haven't you ever heard about suspension of disbelief??"
Aparently the orc atack that probabily started right after nightfall lasted the entire night, even throught it seems like the battle lasted less than 10 minutes
"Never go full retard."
What have we learned? We have learned that there is not a single element of fantasy (let alone Tolkien) that J.D. and Patrick are competent to handle.
they're better than Jackson
C'mon bro it's not that bad
@@reek4062 no lol
The good news is that people who’ve never seen LOTR before,like myself,have started watching the films to see if they’re truly as good as we’ve heard.Yep,they’re the most amazing films I’ve ever seen!😃So now I really get why the original fans despise this total pile of garbage series.What a total insult and embarrassment to Tolkien’s original lore!😖
@@erinmalinoski9479 I'm an original fan and I think it's pretty good.. not as good as the Lotr but better than the hobbit
Am I the only one nerdy enough to have noticed that one of the orcs says "krimpatul" which is black speech for "find them" (part of the inscription on the one ring)when they first enter the tower? Except... mordor doesn't exist yet, and Sauron hasn't created the black speech yet so...whoops?
It's like you said, trust your eyes and ears. Shows like Breaking Bad, Stranger Things and Game of Thrones we heard total normies at work or in the bar talking about these shows and recommending them. Not simply just paid for articles telling you it's popular. Word of mouth is powerful and its not on their side here.
Last two seasons of GOT were terrible though. Breaking bad and Better call Saul are far superior.
I loved how Guyladriel charged into a battle she didn't know about 100 miles away.
She is a tactical mastermind because she's calculated that in a world of pain and horrors to be found in broad daylight.. she can once a day pick a cardinal direction and just rush off and 98.274 percent of times she'll find some group to ride down and attack lol. Shrug.. hey makes as much sense as this shite.
@Cthulhu don't you get sick of trying to justify stupidity.
The actors just look stupid. If I had to sit through every episode watching Gyladrial sneering, I'd have suicidal thoughts! Thank you, Gary, for putting yourself through the torment. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.
@Jimbo Bimbo Sad. I haven't watched any but the costumes in these clips look really cheap and generic. It really gives me a newfound appreciation for Peter Jackson's costumes which looked like they were developed in the culture and tradition of some far off land and were immersive
@Jimbo Bimbo Tolkien described them as dark skinned little folks with very curley black Hair, SMALL feet&hands who did not migrate
@@evastern231 Why are you lying?
i cant handle the mouth twitch
I used to think the same thing. My parents begged me to watch it with them so I did. I was actually pleasantly surprised. It does have some woke stuff that makes no sense, but it was a lot better than I thought it would be. I’m actually interested in watching each episode now. You should honestly give it a chance. Don’t blind trust Gary. Make your own opinion. He’s really just become a hate bandwagon grifter at this point.
The thing with the harfoots is that Tolkien described them as having dark skin. They literally could have made all of them black or brown and stuck to the lore, but I guess they couldn't be bothered reading up on them. They literally could have just made black hobbits but couldn't be bothered.
as a geologist, the volcano thing really was amusing
It works because it symbolises toxic masculinity
In a good way or a bad way?
@@misterfevillord1588 I'd imagine it's similar to seeing someone dump a truck of gasoline into a volcano and see the volcano just flicker out.

Imagine if Galadriel's abilities actually aligned with Tolkien's vision. She could have conjured a magical shield to protect her comrades from the pyroclastic flow. With Amazon's budget it would have looked incredible and it wouldn't be forced. Instead she is merely relegated to standing there with plate armor and sword, helpless to prevent the death of her allies. Unless they received plot armor as well, I'm thinking they probably do.
She even sneered at the pyroclastic flow, ferfooksake.
that village will still be there like nothing happened
Mind you she didn‘t have her ring yet
@@wdhyrhrj4414 True that she doesn't have her ring at this stage, but remember that for the first 1500 years after she got it, she couldn't use it. As long as Sauron wore the One Ring, neither she nor Elrond nor Cirdan wore their rings. During that period she still ruled Lorien and made it into a stronghold proof against attack from Dol Guldur. So she clearly had very strong powers of her own, even without the ring Nenya.
Funny how you guys think Galadriel is the real reason the show sucks and not the N******** elf and other issues, typical terminal liberal leftist nerd syndrome
The gaslighting of the shills was huge with this episode.
@Manhog Sonic many of them don't, bot accounts are a huge issue. Especially on twitter and Facebook.
@Manhog Sonic they want all-access tickets and free appetizers in exclusive events
agreed, its been really "cringe" to watch so many "influencers" coming out of the woodwork trying to hype up this episode, when the only thing different from the other episodes was a lame fight in this one, which could have been cool it not all the things around it was crap (abandoning their stronghold, Elendil being weak as shit in combat, Guyladriel taking the volcanic cloud head on etc, etc) :/
@@nicolasmoreno95 😅
@Manhog Sonic Many of them couldn't care less about fantasy or tolkien but in their mind watching this show is activism. Many more don't watch this show but defend it on twitter like their lives depend on it because it makes the people they hate mad. These people are the loudest of all.
I gotta say, when I saw the "orcs" in Rings of Golden Shower Ep6, I haven't seen such obvious latex costumes on people since 80s zombie movies. They look more like the Japanese guys in rubber suits in old Godzilla movies than like actual costumes.
@AFTER MOVIE Who cares, the dweeb with the embarrassing beard who believes in aliens is who we're all subscribed to now because he was first. I have tons to say about it first, but Gary got all the shit on all the new shit shows and movies in before me, so he's got half a million more subscribers than me now, including me, gotta give him credit where credit is due, despite my thinking Alex Jones is suffering from severe brain damage and UFO sightings are just Americans eating the wrong weeds off their lawns.
''She drowned...''
''And the Sea is always right''
That is SAVAGE !
That's exactly what I thought when he said that, fucking hilarious stuff 🤣
I am so sorry for Tolkien. I really am.
On the bright side, well have a truly infinite energy source from how fast Tolkien is spinning in his grave.
It merely highlights how good he was by producing hours of the worst Tolkien fanfic you've ever seen.
At least he's no longer with us, we're the ones who have had to suffer through it 🤣
Why, he is not here anymore, he is with Jesus, why would he give a crap what happens to his worldly stuff?
I guarantee he's more upset about how many people don't know the difference between then and than, they're, their and there, to and too, then he is about the Rings of Power series.
The “Battle of Ball’s Deep” made me literally LOL.
I had to take a moment cause of that comment
I still wanna know how Halbrand managed to pass and then come straight at Adar to trip his horse when Adar and Galadriel sped away from the village at full speed while Halbrand started pursuing them seconds later. That part confused the hell out of me.
because halbrand is sauron in the show
So you mean to tell me that Mount Doom and Mordor, one of the most evil places in the LotR series, was created by the equivalent of turning on a faucet???
WHAT?!?!
This episode makes the defense of winterfell against the white walkers a dang masterclass in war strategy by comparison.
Bro..🤣🤣
Nothing is as bad as winterfell battle.
The villagers at least placed archers on elevated positions, trapped the orcs, used some form of a pincer, didn’t charge head on into the enemy, and didn’t fight OUTISDE their village.
Strategy would require a constant in the time of show universe.
They undermine a tower
Rigged to to fall on the orc and not on tiger village
Remove the metal bracket but also reattached them cuz editing fail
Travelled back the village.
Build barricades in the street
The fire cart
With about 40 villages people
While the fleet is traveling two days to get then another day by land
That’s after the horses are dis embarked and allowed to recover then they could travel which is an extra day
So that’s 4 days for the fleet but only a single night for the village
@@gamedude412 well bro, you know how it is. It's a fantasy, we shouldn't bring real science into it lol
Bwahahaha
the Orc exploded out of sheer respect for Galadriel's skills.
Well played sir.... well played. Funniest comment on here
When she took off on her horse and that sailor recruit or whatever the fk was like "who is that?", it reminded me of that scene in Ferris Bueller when Ferris kisses his girl and takes off running to beat his parents home and his girl says "he's gonna marry me"...I mean Galadriel is just soooo cool.
And the sexual tension between her and that dirtybird king after they'd just murdered together and found out they were both abused as children is just..palpable to the max! When they finally boink it's gonna really be something. Her on top, possibly pegging him..her nose twitching..so gloriously awkward. IGN will love it.
You haven't dethroned the Drinker as my favorite reviewer, but this is the first time I've seen your channel and you're definitely my new second favorite! I don't literally LOL at much, but the "battle of Balls Deep" and the "A bigass trench!" lines made me bust out laughing so hard that I fell onto my trackball and it clicked the Subscribe button. Looking forward to more, thank you!
When Adar declared his preferred pronounce to be "Uruk" I cheered, I shouted and I fistpumped the air, omg so brave!!
yeah cause uruks are not people to you right? maybe "sub-human" to you?
guys i found a racist, get him.
It wasn’t just brave………it was also stunning!
especially when uruk means orc in black speech xD
It's kinda a meta message on the people who use "preferred pronouns" - ugly, orcish, subhumans
so empowering, im literally shaking how stunning and brave
Gary: If I miss anything feel free to put it in the comments below.
Me: I wouldnt know. Haven’t watched a single second of the show.
Idiot people: "If you don't watch it, you don't know if it's any good."
Me: "If I see trailers filled with pure guano and massive cow pats, I know it's going to be shit."
@@Ackalan Exactly ! A blind man could see this was gonna be pure rubbish.
So basically, Galadriel is always right. No matter what she do or say. In the last episode she said that revenge is good. The next episode she said that revenge is bad. WTF is that kind of writing? lmfao
No no you don't get it she is an independent strong, smart, brave etc woman
The C is always right
Imo the point is that she struggles with fanatism and "the end justifies the means" ideology (her troops leaving her, Galadriel almost going war criminal on Adar) despite the morals she believes in which for me adds a lot of depth as it works out her negative and to some degree also Adar´s positive traits.
“The She is always right!”
@@timeweston apparently not. They’re the weaker sex for a reason. Imagine if women, incapable of independent rationality, had the strength of men. What an awful world that would be. There was great wisdom and foresight in their creation
Dear Nerdrotic!
One more thing that you forgot to mention, about the númenorean battle scene. Prof. Tolkien was very specific about, that Númenorians never ever rode to battle on horseback. They used horses for travel and transportation, but never for battle.
with the speed Tolkein is spinning in his grave we can probably power the entire world for 100 years.
Good one
That was one of the best comment here. kkkkkk
I'm thinking, like a Mazda RX-7 Rotary engine, kind of spin by now.
How can it be that they made the whole season 1 in NewZealand (the land of Volcanos and Geologists) and never asked one single Geologist how a Volcano works or how a landscape with an active Volcano would look like?
everytime you notice something like this - a wizard did it.
They made it in Scotland in the end
My grandpas a retired geophysicist who appreciates realism in fantasy media, he was probably very disappointed with this scene. Though to be fair he was fine with the Mount Doom ground falling in ROTK because its a fantasy movie & it looked cool.
Too expensive, and those toxic geologists were just bots hating on their story.
Hummmm volcanics explosion because of water intrusion happens all the time from all over the planet. There is a lot of problems with this series but the volcano is not one of them .
I was on the edge of my seat when Galadriel fought Imperial Orc Navy aircraft at the battle of Pearl Harbor.
13:35 sums it all up.
Also, the name reveal changing from Southlands to Mordor was hilarious. They might as well have put a red strikethrough the word Southlands.
Yes, I found that hilarious as well. Another awful scene is the Guyladriel slo mo horse riding scene in ep 3.
I read Pride and Prejudice recently and was shocked and impressed by the different characters of every individual woman compared to the modern female Hollywood characters who are just men.
Turns out Jane Austen understood people, and that made her books interesting. The ROP writers don't understand people, they understand bland, shallow archetypes that represent their ideological constructs.
It's a great story. A lot to think about.
There's a reason why it _was_ held up as a masterpiece, and why it's _now_ being cancelled.
Thanks for the recommendation, I was looking for some good material in order to learn how to better write female characters myself. "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" by John Gray can only carry me so far.
@@rogerborg They cancel everything they can't co-opt or corrupt. Because the issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution. Students for a Democratic Society said as much in the 1960's. This woke madness was never subtle.
How has Amazon managed to make every episode worse than the last? I didn't think this show could get any worse but they keep shattering that illusion.
Actually each episode is better than the last.

Never thought the Shadow of Mordor games would feel more in tune with the actual lore than anything made for the screen.
My favorite scene was when don lemonlas was smacking the hilt with the hammer and exclaims "This is beyond our skill to destroy..."
if only there was volcano nearby where you could throw that crap in .. oh nvm
"The sword cannot be destroyed, Arondir, son of someone, by any craft that we here possess..."

Man I can't wait to see the episode where Galadriel asks Sauron what his preferred pronouns are
It's going to be so epic
Guyladriel: I forgot to ask you this earlier, but what are your pronouns?
Sauron: ...Isn't it obvious? I'm a GUY.
Guyladriel: No...Y-Y-You're a MONSTER. 😱🧝♀
"I'm Sauron.. Sauron Skywalker"
@@dmtaboo_truth7052 Hey, as a longtime Luke fan, I'd happily welcome Sauron into the Skywalker family in place of Rey!
The “battle of balls deep” got me.
The clip of Sean Bean was like a breath of fresh air. He didn't look like he was acting. Perhaps the cast of the ROP might give it a try.
I felt the same way when Hugo Weaving appeared: it was so jarring, seeing someone who actually had acting gravitas!
I guess since she can survive a pyroclastic cloud straight in the face, she just wore that armour because she forgot to do laundry last Thursday...
Well its quite clear the writers went to the Fallen Kingdom School of Volcanology.
Galadriel to Adar: “I’ll kill you last…”
Mild taunt from Adar
Galadriel: “I KILLL YOU NOW!!!!!!!!”
It's crazy how small scale this show actually is. ROP just spent an entire episode freeing the dozens of citizens of the Southlands from the dozens of orcs with the full power of the 3 Numenorian vessels and their dozens of soldiers on horseback.
Yes. Compared to LOTR where Jackson had every horse in New Zealand brought in to film battle scenes. This comes off very "made for TV".
Haven't watched but find this scale comment to be very interesting. $1B and they can't do big battles? For LOTR? That's like not having money for a shark in Jaws or using alligators for Jurassic Park.
You people are fucking psychotic. The production value and scope is still insane compared to almost anything else on tv. Maybe set your expectation in this universe? Budgets aren’t infinite.
horses that somehow were on 3 ships with all those men. Numenoreans didn't use horses in battle.
Which is even more hilarious when you consider the fact that Adar said *"Summon the LEGIONS"* when they were preparing for battle. These hacks don't even know what the word 'Legion' means and they had the dumb inclination to use the plural version of it.
The Rings of Power is to The Lord of the Rings as Jurassic World is to Jurassic Park.
In other words; a total disaster in every way!
They also made the orcs speak in the black language of Mordor, which is not their language, it feels like they used the language just to throw it in our face as an Easter egg
In some alternate Hollywood reality Morgoth said, “its morgin’ time” and made an alliance with the just as evil Harfoots
“One cannot satisfy thirst by drinking sea water.” Umm isn’t that exactly what her whole character arc is about? Then she stops halbrand from killing Adar, but in the next scene she immediately switches roles and then she needs to be stopped from killing Adar wtf is happening
Yes, I cringed so hard
My little sister can write better scripts.
Double standards are a common trait of woke writing. When your entire morality is based on double standards, it will inevitably creep into your work.
What on earth did that have to do with revenge? I so wanted him to look at her askance and say "What the hell does that mean?" "Thank you for stopping me, no thank you. No, thank you, dammit! No, thank you!"
You see, Halbrand would be "taking agency away" from Guyladriel if he had done it.
RoP is just a really expensive CW show dedicated to dragging it's balls over the life's work of one of the greatest fantasy writers ever, while using only 5% of the lore they spent $500,000,000 on 🤤
So the evil powers made an indestructible magical sword of pure darkness, with the sole purpose of opening a dam? i feel like there might have been easier ways to accomplish this.
Rise of Skywalker bs - which makes perfect sense bc bad reboot involved with both
Bro... Evil powers have "Z" (obviously shown) on shields and kill only woman. 😂
one-eyed-willie did a similar thing
Also it’s easier to break a dam than open a mechanical dam with a mere sword…. This is ridiculous. Ha!
I have actually found 2 other repurposed scenes in this episode. 1. When the water enters the supposed valley of Udûn the way the scene is shot especially at the beginning is exactly the two towers flooding that the ents caused in Isengard. 2. When Guyladriel chases Adar she wisperes to her horse to speed up and she mumbles the EXACT same words as Arwen in the fellowship of the ring when she is fleeying the Nazgûl with Frodo. This show is disgustingly bad. I don't get why Warner Brothers cannot sue them for this? Like the scene with Arwen is not even in the books so even if Amazon got the rights to lotr book moments they still literally only stealing from the PJ movies. My brain just explodes bc of how stupid this episode was.
too many diversity hires for anyone to question the project - to do so would be racist. topkek
*"Niro Lim Asfaloth"*
Actually, I think it was Glorfindel the one that rode Asfaloth and defeated the Nasghul saving Frodo in the books, so to be fair, Peter Jackson repurposed that scene (and the phrase) first haha.
good catches, for the horse scene i only realized how similar it was shot but not the words. another repurposed scene: bronwins pep talk to theo about darkness is sams darkness speech from two towers
I'm still expecting a romance between Sauron and Guyladriel. It's getting clearer that sex scene is going to happen and then he reveals himself as Sauron, leaving a shocked Guyladriel behind for some crucial schemes. And then Guyladriel stops him with rage and determination on her face, ending the entire season.
It better be rough sex. I abandoned the protective feeling towards this series and could do with some sadistic tangents to vent off towards Guyladriel. Kinda like the rape of King Harald and Bjorn's latest wife. Or Kahl Drogo's no remorse doggy-style with the Kahleesi.
That would go a long way of setting things right for me.
Crazy how, as a tantric and mindfulness practitioner, me watching this show makes me so vengeful and perverse. I notice how bad it actually is for my mental health.
Halbrand after banging Guyladriel: "This was awesome baby by the way I m Sauron."
Season two will start as Guy-L is shown raising a new baby by herself. After she gets knocked up by Sauron she’ll go on to show all the men and women of middle earth that a single mom she-elf can climb the corporate ladder without a mans help. And later in the season when she finally drags Sauron on the Maury povich show to prove he’s the father she once again proves to the world how strong women power is. You go girl.
@@fwhitey7686 That was pretty good. The Maury Povich " Are you the Father" shit made me laugh.
Yeah her pussy will conquer evil once and for all. You can tell a woman wrote it. “It’s so good that even the prince of evil himself changed.”.
You’re out of your depth here female writer. Why are we pandering to the 7 women who actually give a shit about this show?
Star Wars fan: Damn the new trilogy is shit..
LotR Fan: u have not seen what i´ve seen..
Star Wars fan: But have u seen the new Movies?
LotR Fan: U HAVE NOT SEEN WAT I´VE SEEN!
Since Galadriel starts showing some remorse and reflection in this episode, it makes sense for her to finally quench the tempest in her with superheated volcanic fumes.
What's really disturbing is that there actually *ARE* people who really do believe this show is "good", further proving that mega-corporations can literally serve up the worst type of disgusting slop imaginable to the masses and they will just lap it up like pigs at a feeding trough.
If you don't know anything about Tolkien, then the show is just another fantasy show. On that basis it's actually pretty good, but the thing is that we wanted Tolkien.
@@attenberg Uhhh it’s pure garbage it for a generic show . Don’t lower your standards my dude.
Not all of the masses, but a part of them, yes.
@@attenberg It isn't very good even as yet another fantasy show. People are just too accustomed to bad stuff, and applaud mediocrity as something of good quality by comparison.
@@mirceazaharia2094 if the show does not hit your taste, then that's fair, but that does not make it 'bad stuff'. You don't need to stand on Tolkiens shoulders to critize the show. Any other fantasy show would not even make you care.
Besides Amazon, who didn't see this coming?
Vito didn't. He called us all idiots.
The moment i heard they fired the loremaster, i expected this to be a shitshow. And that rumor of Shippey saying that they are "polluting the lore", is starting to sound very accurate.
"The pyroclastic flow is always right and it demands human life!"
Hard to argue with a volcano and this cloud. It tends to win every argument in a thunderous "voice".
I have watched many movies and TV shows that I didn't like. When they were over, I just said "well that was crap" and got on with my life. As a screenwriter and a lifelong Tolkien Nerd, this show has ignited a fire within me like the spirit of Feanor. I can honestly say it's the only piece of content produced by a "professional" studio that I am hoping and praying will fail. It's sad because I feel like if this fails no one will ever be able to have the rights for it to make anything better again.
There are so many issues with this show, from casting to writing and even editing in EP 6. The part with the knife heading toward Arondirs eye reminded me of the scene in Monty Pythons Holy Grail when John Cleese is just riding towards the castle for ages. Horses galloping in mid-day sun intercut with a battle in the pitch black of night. I mean come on!
I think Amazon will just burn money instead of admitting they have made a mistake but I really wish someone in Hollywood would show some humility, ironically as Galadriel preached in ep 6. Just admit that all this activism and bad writing is hurting franchises and alienating fans. Come back strong in Season 2, fix the issues, and get Peter Jackson and Howard shore to make it feel like it's part of the same universe.
If you have to keep the same cast then do it, but just make their characters interesting. The only character I think is interesting so far is Adar, we can see his pain, we see he is an Elf that's been through some really bad stuff that's turned him dark. He wants a land of his own, and while it's a bit silly, he's the only character with a reason for what he is doing!
You can really see that Hollywood has run out of ideas.
If I were making it, the very first thing I would have done is get Peter Jackson and Howard Shore. Next asked Weaving and Blanchet to reprise their roles as almost cameo characters just to tie the original films with this.
Next, I would have made the whole 5 series arc about the conversation between Elrond and Gandalf where Gandalf says " it is in men we must put our faith" and Elrond replies "men are weak" I would want to explore why Elrond feels that, what did he live through that gave him that opinion apart from his thing with Isildur.
If you need a female elf character, fine you got it but it won't be Galadriel. The show would be centred around the race of men and would be very much like GOT with political twists and end with the 9 kings getting corrupted and our main hero becoming the Witch King. The Witch-king character and the female elf character would then fight like Anikin and Obi with the elf being killed. A shocking dark twist, he killed the female character, but then we know the Witch King gets killed by a woman in LOTR so it would show some symmetry.
You may think it's rubbish, and I just came up with it off the top of my head, but god damn it's better than this show!
One thing I am doing to show Amazon my fury for what they have done to the Professor's good work is not buying anything from their website. Let their stock fall like the tower of Barad-dur. It's the only thing they care about, ironically like Gollum and the ring.
LMAO one thing you are not is a screenwriter
His idea is still better than ROP
"Auta i lóme!" and "Aurë entuluva!" On September 3rd, the Tolkien phandom awoke and found half of the Tolkien-verse under the dominion of the corporate machine theyocracy. Thus we bring "council in these dark times,": EXSURGE TOLKIEN, our current channel's counter series. It is now beyond a doubt that The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power" is independent of Tolkien and his world's Orthodoxy. ROP a schism that will leave a forever rift between the phandom and wrought confusion for years to come.
I like this idea. They could have had Celebrian be the female elf, and show her relationship with Elrond.
@@arwenstrong2818 Good point. Or they could have used new Elves with names they created. There are many ways they could have done this, instead of taking an established key character like Galadriel and completely changing her character into a different person.
Gary. They put her in Elven Armor without her ever bringing any with her. Where'd she get it? Did they just keep some elven armor and sword around JIC an elf showed up?
Guyladriel paid for the armor DLC
That's not completely implausible given that they have more arms and armour than their clueless military know what to do with. The big question is why they'd have gifted her a set at the end of E4 while yeeting her _before_ the trees got sad.
They could've give her numenorian armor instead,and going in battle with theyr armor to show as a sign of respect for the people who help HER ASS , but then again who knows how she got her armor back.
Spoiler for everyone. The college students writing this show should be working on preteen Nick shows and not this one.
It's Númenor. Elves helped build it. You don't think that just perhaps they possess elven armory aswell?
As a black man I don't like seeing black elves.
As a woman I totally feel seen in the orcs. Mostly if you caught me in the morning after a vodka binge.
Good one.

The writing process is to check boxes and make the story fit. Then these writers go with the first idea they get because they don't know where ideas come from and are afraid they won't get another one. Then to make things super easy for them they ignore time and space. This is known as the J.J. Abrams school of writing.
