This had me ROFLMAO - one of the biggest contradictions in season One was the Harfoot’s claim to having the Hearts Bigger than their feet but leaving people for dead 😅
ye, too bad Knightswatch is constantly so weird about women and male role models and heterosexual relationships and junk. I used to watch them while S1 was airing.
This…is amazing. Thank you! I JUST finished Season 1. My wife walks by, sees the scene with The stranger, and coins the term “Bland-dalf”. This is why I love her.
Man I loved this recap, I will rewatch it because it is among some of the best comedies out there the way you do it 🤣🤣. Thank you, on the coast a 10 minutes walk to the beach so I must remember "the sea is always right:"
thanks bro! watched it way back august of 2022. hardly remember some it. But thanks to your video i gathered everything and pieced it. More power to channel bro!
Rings of power is a missed opportunity. Sauron was supposed to be a pseudo Promethean figure generating religious engineering in Harad and Rhûn with the metallurgical revolution he made in the east and south. Galadriel was supposed to be a sage and a political opponent of Annatar's reformist ideas. She used arguments and debates to fight Sauron and the forges of the rings. Númenor is a moral and theological story about life vs death vs immortality vs human nature.
I am rewatching the entire season this week for the aspects of the show I did enjoy, and your recap perfectly pokes fun at the stuff that wasn't so great. I still really enjoyed the first season though and yes the second season looks dramatically better. Can't wait!
I loved this , to think I just finished a rewatch of S1 (and secretly enjoyed it this time apart from the Harfoot bollocks), this was the icing on the cake needed to dive into S2. This weekend and then the episode breakdowns here and R&R will follow.
OMG! This was spectacular! We already knew you were an awesome writer from every video you do and this just further cements that. Got me grinning ear to ear and actually excited about Season 2. Thanks!
Dear NOTR, this summary was absolutely delightful! I had a good laugh, hopefully you keep this tradition if they continue with the show, I can't wait for your analyses
Season 2: Annatar, you are no elf! You are an Elvis-h Impersonator! (Cue the music, which is the only thing we can universally agree is consistently top notch)
If people just saw the show for what it is (expensive fan-fiction) the rage would subside. BTW when this season airs you gonna be a very busy Dwarf! Yes I saw you at Wētā lol! 🤣
This Recap is Amazing & so well done. You got me to laugh at so many of your great timed jokes. Well done Matt. This was Genius video! I am ready for Season 2 now! :) Cheers!
Nothing wrong with first season. Watched it again and enjoyed it even more. Cant wait for season 2. Ive been a lotr fan for 23 years. Feel sorry for people who cant just enjoy it and have to be negative. Looking forward to Arondir character development. He was my favourite character.
Kinda felt the same way after season 1 but im leaning towards all the hate. Story just keeps getting worse. None of the characters are likable its just kind of sad.
I'm looking forward to Season 2 if for no other reason than to experience NoTR watch parties again. Life has gotten in the way over the past two years and it's been too long since I've had the chance to watch Nerd of the Rings. I have a lot of content to catch up on from this great channel and am happy it's still here making great Tolkien videos.
Not sure how you read that script so fast without having a tank of oxygen feeding into one nostril. Kudos on one of best recaps I’ve ever seen, but also one that truly covered so much in such a short period of time. The jokes were on point and far from cheesy (not easy to do). Interestingly, I almost didn’t watch thinking it would be a pretty straight up blah recounting of episode content in an non-comprehensive way (kudos number two). Kudos number three this channel is literally the only one I watch every week, and wow (time flies) it appears for several years now. Keep up the good work and nerding us all out in a very entertaining, well researched and professional UA-camy way.
"He kept his pants, but lost his memory." Don't do that to me, I'm gonna spit my lunch out laughing! 😂😂😂
This is why I keep everything I need in my pants.
Yep. That line broke me too.
@@MasonDixonAutistic He should have done a Memento by writing everything about himself on his pants.
I LOVED the recap. Had me laughing at every little joke insert. 😂😂
I'm still laughing at the slim shady 😂😂😂 totally caught me off guard
@@glitchinLife SAME 🤣🤣🤣
Me 12 minutes ago: There's an official recap on Prime, why do I need to see this one?
Me 12 minutes later: You need to see this one.
The Stranger “maybe he’s good/bad” ongoing joke and truth was fantastic lol. Def hope he is a blue wizard also!!
I also agree, I hope there's more to him than that he's just Gandalf. Have been hoping he's a bluey.
@@seyeruoynepotsuj Agreed....gandalf would be boring....blue wizard with attitude similiar to gandalf would be great.
@@ZukaraTheGame Using the same line about following your nose when in doubt ? Not sure about that...
3:13 The harfoots sing about nobody walking alone, then talk about all the people they left for dead.😂
This had me ROFLMAO - one of the biggest contradictions in season One was the Harfoot’s claim to having the Hearts Bigger than their feet but leaving people for dead 😅
LITERALLY. Way more cutthroat than kind hearted!
They did not talk about people left for dead, they mourned people who had to be left behind because they had died.
@@anni.68Exactly
They were remembering the dead and how they died. Not leaving the injured behind. 😊
"Elrond isn't invited to important Elf meetings" is underrated. Loved the recap!!
love the Slim Shady reference🤣
Funny, but I'm pretty sure it was taken from somewhere else
“Galadriel likes horse rides” 😂😂
... I mean... she REALLY likes horse rides...
@@amaamzat9913
I am rewatching Season 1 and I just fast-forwarded past that scene of her riding the horse.😂
@@Enerdhil 😂😂 don’t blame ya
@@Enerdhilthat scene where she’s riding one on the beach in slow mo has to be the most cringe thing I’ve ever seen.
@@muratkilic88
I think even the horse was embarrassed carrying her in that clip.🐎🐴
Friendship bracelets would've prevented Middle Earth from lots of problems.
Best and probably the funniest recap of this show I've seen. Had me rolling at a few points 😅.
And one more thing "The Sea Is Always Right!"
ye, too bad Knightswatch is constantly so weird about women and male role models and heterosexual relationships and junk.
I used to watch them while S1 was airing.
-Literally anybody have an opinion
-Galadriel : >:(
well she's hot, no argument
honestly like can you move your damn lips its actually physically bothering me.
This…is amazing. Thank you! I JUST finished Season 1. My wife walks by, sees the scene with The stranger, and coins the term “Bland-dalf”. This is why I love her.
Nice!
"The Balrog is mad about littering" - dude, same.
"...and Galadriel says NAH" is hilarious
Oh my gosh losing it laughing less than 60 seconds in 😂
Same here 😂
If only I could “like” this video a thousand times! You are hilarious! 😂
The first season was actually good if you don’t read people’s negative reviews on it. You can tell it has great budget with a lot of work put into it.
Man I loved this recap, I will rewatch it because it is among some of the best comedies out there the way you do it 🤣🤣. Thank you, on the coast a 10 minutes walk to the beach so I must remember "the sea is always right:"
Rings of Power in one statement:
"Forgive us Tolkien, we allowed them to get their hands on your work."
Arguably the best recap I’ve ever seen ever
I've never actually wanted to hate-watch a show before. Well done, Amazon. Well done.
You Nailed it. Thank you !
Those spoiler alerts are pretty quick lol
thanks bro! watched it way back august of 2022. hardly remember some it. But thanks to your video i gathered everything and pieced it. More power to channel bro!

So I needed that recap, cuz I'm gonna watch season 2, I'm in love with Middle earth!
Your recap was more enjoyable than watching the first season in full! Thank you.
true
Still hits all the plot points, which says a lot
Awesome and very funny. Thanks!
Rocks sink, boats float.
*GOT IT.*

Absolute disgrace that brings shame to tolkiens work

👏👏👏👏 😂😆🤣
@@Enerdhil I have my moments...
@@Tar-Elenion
Yes, you do.😁👍
"Who kept his pants but lost his memory" captures the very essence of Rings of Power better than any statement I've heard so far.
Actually the Stranger lost both his pants and memory. They shaded out around his groin area for PG-13 purposes.
Danke yo. Hab nach der 3. Folge aufgehört und möchte dem ganzen jetzt nochmal eine Chance geben!
"Galadriel is mad" 😂
I loved this , to think I just finished a rewatch of S1 (and secretly enjoyed it this time apart from the Harfoot bollocks), this was the icing on the cake needed to dive into S2.
This weekend and then the episode breakdowns here and R&R will follow.
Awesome recap
I DONT WANT A RECAP I WANT TO FORGET 😭😭😭
Same cause this whole recap reminded me the things I was so annoyed about 😭😭😭
Fr this is so bad of a show i hope s2 is bettee but just can't get excited for it.
Dang! that was one IMPRESSIVE recap! Well done!
"who kept his pants but lost his memory" - best part
OMG! This was spectacular! We already knew you were an awesome writer from every video you do and this just further cements that. Got me grinning ear to ear and actually excited about Season 2. Thanks!
Y'know there was some really dope moments in this first season. Thanks for the recap.
7:53 Got me, Pyroclastic flow, I forgot that was a thing for a couple days 🤣
Yes! One of Matt's several hilarious lines.😂
Let's not forget phreatomagmatic eruptions, we all learned cool new fact that week! XD
you made a comedy out of this show, and a good one!
Dear NOTR, this summary was absolutely delightful! I had a good laugh, hopefully you keep this tradition if they continue with the show, I can't wait for your analyses
I love you man, I was having a poopy day and this saved it!
Hope your day gets better! Glad the vid could be a positive in the day!
The added humor was for you😁👍 Have a great day!🙏
@@Enerdhil❤❤❤
Omg you should drop everything and just do recaps 😂 loved it ❤
This was the best recap ever!!
I heard you’re gonna be on Rings and Realms and I’m so excited for your input!! 🎉🎉🎉
Season 2: Annatar, you are no elf! You are an Elvis-h Impersonator! (Cue the music, which is the only thing we can universally agree is consistently top notch)
Don't forget the visuals
@@somebody4763True-visuals also consistently top notch
They are doing a Bear of a job with the music.😁👍
Couldnt stop myself from laughing xxx 😂Perfect recap tho so onpoint
If people just saw the show for what it is (expensive fan-fiction) the rage would subside.
BTW when this season airs you gonna be a very busy Dwarf! Yes I saw you at Wētā lol! 🤣
I love this recap! good rhythm. ’….. maybe he’s good. … but maybe he’s bad’. A said xxx but B said nuh. ‘
Nazgals had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣
Loved the recap of season 1 in 12 minutes. 😂 Thanks
You should do exactly what you did with season 1 to season 2. Watch parties, breakdowns, full review, and recap. By the way, this recap was hilarious!
This is hilarious. Well done ❤
Just when I thought your videos can`t get any better - BAM! Right in the giggles! 😁😅
And Galadriel`s mad 😂
Light hearted indeed. This was a joy to watch. Also, Hobo Baggins had me dyin 🤣🤣
This Recap is Amazing & so well done. You got me to laugh at so many of your great timed jokes. Well done Matt. This was Genius video! I am ready for Season 2 now! :) Cheers!
Absolutely the best EVER speed-recap, literally hits we everything needen know all the while being hilarious 🤣
Can't wait to see S2 in 12 Mins 😆
Good job dude! That was much more enjoyable than actually watching season 1 RoP.
This was incredible, Matt!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Love the recap. We need more like this. Maybe the movies next (unless you have already done that)
But the movies are a masterpiece I still can't get enough after 24 years !
This made my day. Really. 😆
Omg this is great...can you do all the other movies at somepoint
Saved me a lot of a painful re-watch. Thank you.
Worst of the worst lines in history of film :
The sea is always right
There is a tempest in me
"I'm good" 😭😂😭😂
It’s just so terrible. I cringed so hard when I heard them shout this out like it’s some sort of profound truth
Well, the sea is obviously not always right, but Galadriel did have a tempest within her.😂
@@aryanmukhija2257 At least, it's a phrase (though with different meaning) we always use lol
I dunno,Finrod explaining why ships float……..
Perfect recap, lol 😆 I loved ❤
Thanks for the refresher !
Hysterical!!! 😂😂😂
That was amazing! Loved it
This is my favorite recap video I’ve ever watched 😂 flawless, no notes.
Perfection....
Excellent recap! 👏
"this will be ironic" Killer line
Nothing wrong with first season. Watched it again and enjoyed it even more. Cant wait for season 2. Ive been a lotr fan for 23 years. Feel sorry for people who cant just enjoy it and have to be negative. Looking forward to Arondir character development. He was my favourite character.
You have the right mindset Adam
Kinda felt the same way after season 1 but im leaning towards all the hate. Story just keeps getting worse. None of the characters are likable its just kind of sad.
it’s trash and the second is trashier
Awesome recap!!!
>>Halbrand swipes back Galadriel's dagger with a bro hug
This is hilarious 😂😂
Brilliant 😂 thank you! Looking forward to season 2
One of your best videos yet!
Love this recap, good work!
Thanks, i didn't have the will to rewatch S01.
And no one would blame you!
Great work as always!
I love how we have some @cinemasins vibes in this video!! 😂😂 love it!!! A mix of humor into the recap just had me cracking up!!
best recap ever.
Yip, that about sums it up! My wine cellar is ready for season 2!
lol. i'm super excited for Season 2. Thanks for this.
You nailed the emotional range...mad, bad or sad. Sometimes sad and mad, or bad and mad, but never bad and sad. At least not so far. Awesome recap!!
You really caught the feel of the whole season in 12 minutes - at least how I feel about it! 🤪🤣 Great job!
That was great! Well done!!
I'm looking forward to Season 2 if for no other reason than to experience NoTR watch parties again. Life has gotten in the way over the past two years and it's been too long since I've had the chance to watch Nerd of the Rings. I have a lot of content to catch up on from this great channel and am happy it's still here making great Tolkien videos.
Gonna be waking up quite early next week to cram in the 3 premiere episodes before I leave on vacation for the weekend. 💀 Hopefully it’s worth it.
Check the broadcast times. They are the worst possible hours to watch it live broadcast for me out here in LA.😞

Bro the fast pace tonality is peak NERD 🤓 I love it hahah
I actually enjoyed it more on second watch. “Expectations managed”
Lol this is better than the show! 😂
This is exactly what I needed
"holy cow bro, that's a great idea. We back in business." had me rofling so hard!
This recap was amazing, also I forgot how invested I was in the story
