Actually balrog, gandalf and sauron are all the same.. they are all maiar
apparently gandalf is good though. he told us himself
If you mean the same "species" (lets say), then yes. Not the same in many other respects.
You’re right, Eric. That was Sauron disguised as an elf named Annatar.
Yes Eric that was indeed his Annatar form
Bringer of gifts
So have they finally managed to licence the name? The estate is like Smaug, it hungers for gold.
Same actor if I’m not mistaken. Which I must say, if Galadriel gets tricked again than she’s got to be the dumbest elf around haha one shot it looked like Halbrand with elf ears. But the final shot it didn’t look like him. So who knows
disguised? he put on a wig...
Same actor as Sauron, just different look. They did recast Joseph Mawle's (Benjen Stark) Adar, after Mawle's chose to leave to pursue other opportunities. Sam Hazeldine now plays Adar.
That's a shame as I liked his performance last season.
The lighting on your set is so good, the rim light in this one is *chef kiss*
High fantasy show after high fantasy show is exactly how I like my TV.
We eating gooooooood
Why don't the Eagles just drop Sauron in the volcano?
Probably because Sauron is the most powerful sorcerer in the world. He can’t be overpowered by a mere eagle.
@@TheGreater-ScopeVillainDoes blud know the eagles are maia too.
@@crabberdabberye Technically Eagles are creatures that serve Manwe who is the king of the Valar and made them. They have no true free will of their own. They do think and report to him but he can control them at will. Bit like Sauron and the Nazgul. Dwarves were like this too in the beginning being made by Aule who is the master smith of the valar. The God of this world gave the dwarves ture life / souls.
@@crabberdabberye Maybe so, but Sauron is the strongest of the Maiar, and certainly far stronger than any of the eagles.
I appreciate this comment.
house of the dragon trailer reaction when?
I don't know this for sure, but given that HOTD starts next month and they're already going to watch it, they may not react to the newest trailers anymore to preserve their reaction to the show
@@nickmoore6381 that makes no sense, trailer reactions get the most views early. and no reactors will hold the trailer for the show on release
@@JustASuhDude it's how they do things. they reacted to both the black & green teasers so they most likely won't react to the trailer.
@@nickmoore6381 this might be true cuz they already reacted to 3 of them
@@JustASuhDude I think you're confused. They're not going to react to the trailer at all, because they've seen enough from the previous trailers and don't want to spoil too much before they watch the actual show. It's how Blind Wave (and a lot of other reactors) do things
I enjoyed season 1 but then again I'm also not a die hard LOTR fan and just like seeing fantasy races interacting & fighting each other XD
Love the movies and trilogy of books, the rest is pretty boring.
It had some major issues for it's budget regardless of the LoTR name, but in a way I'm glad some people (like yourself) liked it, at least some work went into it so it's good if it can be enjoyed by some even if it's not the universal story/message the original was.
Loved the hobbit trilogy and LOFR trilogy and season 1 was good too
it's an okay fantasy show, it's a garbage lotr show.
You like fighting?
I... don't understand?
Even by modern standards the choreography for fight scenes in season 1 of this show was hard to watch. I had to stop watching for a long time after Galadriel lightly pushed 4 armed guards into a prison cell. It looked like me escorting a toddler to time out in the corner.
Now it IS Galadriel, one of the strongest characters in the entire LOTR universe, she SHOULD be able to place 4 grown men into a jail cell like they are toddlers. But you gotta show why she is, you have to use the choreography to display her power. But the show runners were... idk... uninterested in fight choreography? They clearly didn't try at all and thought it wasn't important to work hard on the fight scenes. That is OK! I don't need fight scenes to enjoy a show, but if you're going to have them then do it right, please.
They could have just had her use magic words to compel them into the cell and it would have conveyed her power and not looked incredibly stupid like it did.
The only thing that I am so curious is at somepoint at the finaly of this series for good (whatever season that'll be) is it gonna tie in with the Intro battle from Fellowship? When Galadrial says a last alliance of men and elves march against the armies of mordor and that 2 minute battle in the movie happens?!!!! The final episode Elendil gets killed by Sauron and Isildur defeats Sauron just like from the Fellowship Intro but stretched out instead of the span of 15 seconds
"But they were all of them deceived, for a Bottle Blonde Halbrand was made."
Can''t wait for season 2, so much stuff to watch this year. And the best part is always the reactions from Blind Wave.
I have not watched the first season, but wanted to see how this trailer was received.
Waiting for HOTD trailer reaction…
Same! Lol
It's funny, HotD being on at the same time actually made RoP immensely better due to just how bad HotD was for me. I am extremely excited for Season 2 Rings of Power and will probably watch Season 1 a few more times before August.
Stop trolling.
@@Jimmie_Rudolfsson I'm serious, funny story: my wife and I both thought the other liked HotD and spent months pretending we liked it for the other. We eventually got into a conversation criticizing a few things and realized we both hated it.
@@maxpower7113 HOTD is much more political drama than a fantasy show. I like political drama but fantasy is my passion.
@@maxpower7113 house of the dragon AND rings of power are both very mediocre shows particularly for their budgets. at least house of the dragon FEELS like the game of thrones universe... rings of power doesn't at all.
objectively though both just fail in so many ways, and we can directly compare each of them to better executed visions of exactly the same universe so, yeah. they're just not very good.
Still not over how they couldn’t use Morgoth. Imagine seeing him on screen, would’ve been sick
wow its almost like they DONT HAVE THR RIGHTS FOR THAT STORY jfc
Ikr. So sad. Still not over how they _couldn’t_ use Morgoth. Imagine seeing him on screen, would’ve been sick.
Yeah, its a shame. Do we know whats up with rights for sillmarilion? Family refused to sell them or smth? Cant remember now
Yeah Tolkien estate refuses to sell them the rights. But apparently they got more rights between season 1 and 2 so we will see more canon stuff@@kptmaci4979
That's the least of the problems... this is the second age.
Looking forward to more Elrond and Durin bromance.
One of my favourite things about S1! Gimme more!
yes that was the only good thing about the show other than the visual quality of course
Durin wanting Elrond's raw meat was fairly weird though.
🤮🤮🤮
I appreciate the reaction; not sure why people hate RoP so much, i mean, Amazon doesn't have the rights to The Silmarillion... should just separate book from show and done, it's a great fantasy show and it kinda became a comfort show of mine. You cannot tell me the cinematography, costumes, acting/chemistry between some actors and even the soundtrack! was bad. It was all obviously done with a lot of love and work put into.
No House of the Dragon reaction trailer video??
I'll probably still watch it.
I love season 1 so looking forward to season 2
Really looking forward to your watchalong on Patreon for this. I personally enjoyed Rings of Power, the same with the Hobbit Trilogy & LotR Trilogy, not sure why people hate it.
Looks better than season 1 for sure.
i took a dumb that looked better than season 1, its an easy thing to do
I can only hope it retains the creepy, dark vibe of the trailer. And I hope I'm not scratching my chin every 30 seconds again. Think about it...the bar is very low, so it likely will be better?
VERY low bar.
Not Eric making a joke about cramps, while I'm literally lying in bed suffering from them 😭😅
Condolences fella, hope your better. They suck. Drink gatorade.
Looks interesting hope the pace is better.
"but they all of them were deceived, for another wig was made..." is just the best comment.
tbh, it would look good, if we already didnt have whole season of the guy without the wig. It just looks odd, cause we are not used to it on him. Other than that, it looks nice. I like the actor, but I kinda hoped Sauron would totally change the look this season to fool not only characters, but to make us guess who he is yet again. I mean, it would be kinda obvious either way due to his actions, but still.
where is the hotd react?
Im so excited! I loved season 1 and I can't wait to see what they do with season 2 ❤
I had issues with the first season, as many did. But I’m an optimist, there are things in the teaser that gave me a bit of hope, I’d definitely like to see a full trailer.
Really excited for the new season
Really? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@stevem2323Yeah sad childish crybaby hater! Yall Tolkien fanatics are worse than the Star Wars ones. Such old sad sour people 🤣
@@stevem2323 yup
Looking forward to this. New season looks cool.
STOP HAVING FUN!!!
Season two looks hype!
Loved s1, can’t wait for 2.
You guys should react to the latest House of the Dragon trailer next 😁
It's quite remarkable that they still haven't done that..
@@Jimmie_Rudolfsson It's very similar to the previous trailers. I liked Black vs Green trailers much better.
Looks great! Can’t wait!
Comments already worked up as expected.
Usually when I don't like a show I don't watch or engage with it 🤷♂️
People use their time in odd ways.
25% dislikes just because they reacted to a show they don't like
@@travisspazz1624 I didn't dislike or like the video, I don't watch the show enough to care about it, but I always find it weird how Blind Wave really don't share their true honest opinions on shows like this because they know the consequences.
@travisspazz1624 People really get mad when you spit in their face? That's crazy.
@@TiagoFerreira-zp9giCouldn't be further from the truth but you keep thinking that 👍
Great trailer reaction as always Wave Crew!
I very much enjoyed the first season and I’m hyped to see this one so
Idk this looked better than S1 imo lol
im hyped for season 2!~
Show Eric the real trailer
Looking forward to watching season 2 😃🫶🏼
I thoroughly enjoyed the first season so I can't wait for more!! 😍 Might need to do a rewatch too.
Can you watch the Assassin's Creed Shadows trailer
i enjoyed season 1, so im looking forward to this!
finally the first one
Season 1 won 15 awards and 47 nominations ❤❤❤❤ tolkien's family directly involved in the show. I commend amazon for taking on the task of making a show when your limited in the material you can use, glad that now they are given more freedom to use the source material which reflects on season 2 trailer. Watching season 1 again for several times, the show hits differently in a positive way. Iove the darker take of the show that's in line with Tolkien's depiction of darkness, something the movies didnt go heavey on. Probably for more audience. All in all happy this show exists, in love ❤❤❤
it's not very good. also, his "family" aren't people who matter at this stage. also they won basically all the most meaningless awards... and they got DUNKED by way better shows for everything they were nominated for... ALSO they were likely nominated because of the studio and money.
I'm not sure if you know this but many award shows are swayed heavily by the lobbying done leading up to them so lol
anyway you just need to look at audience reviews to understand that it wasn't received well and people think it's a piss poor representation of middle earth, especially when we've seen it done so masterfully already.
Looking forward to it! I had a great time watching Season 1 with my niece 😃
Looking forward to season 2
I really love this show, as I am a huge fan of the universe, both movies and books (and also games). Idc if it's not like in the books, I want to treat this show like a show and not a book adaptation
I cant wait, please react to it
They definitely will since they reacted to season 1.
Trailer looked amazing can’t wait to watch
As someone who gave up after episode 4, can I just watch season 2 when it comes out? Can’t imagine I missed much
Whilst I did like it, I was fairly underwhelmed by season 1. But I am more interested in this season.
Set ups done, let’s see it play out.
🎉🎉 I like fantasy.
There can’t be just one version when it’s adaptation.
There can be many adaptations.
Looks good🎉
I really enjoyed season 1. Excited for season 2, looks good so far!
Do HotD
👀
Big LotR Fan and can't wait for this, can't understand the hate
It's hated because it butchers the source material and character, I mean just look at Galadriel.
@@lucasbelmonte2832 mostly said by people who never picked up a tolkien book and are just mad because they saw dark elf with short hair + focus on a woman in trailer for first season and never saw one ep of RoP in the end. It doesnt butcher any material. Sillmarilion for example was never finished by tolkien himself, not to mention they dont have rights for this book and cant mention specific stuff that were only mentioned in it and nowhere else. People act like the sillmarillion, the most tedious book to go through, because it was never polished and is rough could be easily adapted 1:1. Just say you never read the material you claim "they are butchering" xD They change stuff to adapt it into interesting show. They dont disregard characters or their arcs. Galadriel is clearly meant to evolve into character from third age. The show is thousands of years before - so what are you smoking saying "they butchered her"? She isnt the same character YET. Yeah, its not the greatest show, but its nowhere near as bad as people say. Its just mostly mid, but it still has great moments. You want to see bad show that also truly butchers source material and characters? Look into Witcher S2, which threw basically 90% of the plot and character arcs into the trash for 8 episodes.
@@lucasbelmonte2832 What source material? It's not based on anything specific, just a general Middle-Earth idea, characters and events.
@@piotrnowak8725 Yeah those characters and events are the source material. We know a lot about the second age leading up to the last alliance, and the show has been writing its own storylines and spin on Tolkien’s characters and they have butchered both.
@@lucasbelmonte2832 Name the source material. Amazon has rights to the Lord of the Rings and that's it. It's not an adaptation of any kind. Stop judging it like it is.
Season 1 had its issues, but I still really enjoyed it. I'm pretty hyped for the new season
The cheap looking armour was the shows biggest issue along with some of the dialogue, if they can fix those 2 things it will go a long way... Elrond's helmet which is obvioulsy to big for him however is not a good start.
Season didn't just have "issues" it completely butchered Tolkien's work.
Personally I liked Rings of Power more than HotD, mainly because HotD felt like something we've seen often (but made very well of course) but RoP felt like something new, in terms of storytelling, atmosphere and the structure of the series. Beautiful, can't wait for more.
You and I obviously watched very differn't shows though I never watched HotD so have no comment on that one.
Jeff…is that you?
To each their own I guess, but I feel RoP is the typical fantasy everyone has seen 100 times over, while HotD was much more "newer"
Somehow this looks even less like Tolkien compared to season 1... It's unbelievable they kept the show runners. Anyway, I doubt I'll watch it, S1 was enough. And think about it, not a single shot of Gil-Galad the quintessential hero of the Second Age.
I know this isn't a majority opinion, but I loved the first season. Really looking forward to more!
Um. Do you have plans to react to the House of the Dragon official trailer for season 2? 🤨🔥🐲
Rings of Power trailer reaction but not House of the Dragon? Hell you even mention House of the Dragon in this reaction!
In a thousand years people will still be reading Tolkien and watching the Jackson movies ,ROP will be forgotten after a decade thank the Valar
Very unlikely that books and movies will last for the next 100 years.
@@piotrnowak8725 Maybe ,well until the end of civilisation then(like next July the way things are going)
@@piotrnowak8725 well... the hobbit was published in 1937 so it's coming up on 100 years old, and lord of the rings was 1954 which is already 70 years while remaining VERY popular.
the thing about tolkien's stuff is that he's sort of a DEFINING writer in the fantasy genre... maybe THE defining writer for basically all modern fantasy for almost 100 years now. soooooo his stuff will almost certainly be read 100 years from now.
the movies on the other hand will likely be forgotten as movies tend to be even in the short history we have of them.
The final trailer for the superior show is also out. Hint, it has dragons in it
You're allowed to like whatever you like, but it's tough to defend this show.
💯💯💯
not really. Its just mid and has tedious but also quite great moments. Not nowhere as bad as people who clearly havent watched a single episode of it claim it is. Most haters online only as far as I see stopped by seeing youtube clips at most, even more dropped after trailer for first season showed them dark elf with short hair and galadriel being presented as main focus, so it tells a lot about them + its where all the hate for this show started. They are fooling no one. And suddenly so many people read books like silmarillion xD Sure. Its rarity even among fans of other tolkien books, as its not an easy read and was never a finished book, hence its rough. Most of people who claim to have read it clearly never even touch a hobbit book and are just lying movie enjoyers, repeating what others already wrote. Its really sad seeing so much hate. Reminds me of hate for x-men 97 when same type of people saw Morph is going to be trans and already hated on the show before the first ep dropped. Ofc, xmen is premium quality, and RoP is nowhere near, but again, the pattern for haters is exactly the same. Its just tougher for them to hate on x-men still, because its actually dope show. They have much easier time hating on RoP that didnt have such success.
Just gotta be able to seperate the 2 just enough for it to be good on its own. When i separate the show from the movies, i really enjoy it.
It's not. It's a fan fiction in Middle Earth. The script is pretty mediocre but acting is good, visuals are great, music is phenomenal. It's a decent fantasy show.
@@kptmaci4979 has way more tedious than great moments... I think when it hit correctly it was really great, but that just made the rest of it EVEN WORSE.
Im looking forward to it ❤
Didn’t hate season 1. Pacing was my biggest issue from what I remember. Also did not care about the single mother. Saw all the movies but was never a mega fan and have not read any of the books. I’ll certainly watch season 2.
not knowing the source material is a massive boon in this area it seems, had a similar rweaction to the witcher, a franchise I never read the books for or played the game and i found I had a lot more tolerance for the show then my friends who did however they where the longtime fans and I would have prefered it had been a product we could all have enjoyed somewhere near equally and i don't really see why thats so hard to achieve.
@@Delogros Because when you love a book or game and you find out its being adapted into a show or film you get excited, and then when it comes out and its butchered the source material and character you love, you feel like as fans you have been spat in the face. You notice when you stay faithful to the source material like the one piece and fallout live actions did you get praise across the board? More show runners should do the same.
@@lucasbelmonte2832 Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying butchering the source material is ever a good thing, in fact staying true to it in general means the people who would have liked the butchered version will also like the true to source version so you only gain thing and don't lose them... I was just saying not having that expectation and essentially not knowing what your missing helps with poor content... game of thrones is a good example of saying true ish for 6 seasons then jumping the shark by becoming the show runners version of events (as there where no books to use).
@@Delogros Comparing Witcher show to Rings of Power is pure insanity bro. RoP is mid, but Witcher simply disregards all the plot of all the books in major ways in S2 already and S3 tried to desperately fix in 1 ep all missing vital main character connections. They butchered it hard, which even made main star leave the show. Witcher basically threw all the books into the garbage bin for whole season if you read them. RoP is based on books and time in the universe that was never finished by tolkien himself and you have to made up a lot of stuff yourself to made it adaptable to any medium. Not nearly the same. + RoP is actually doing decent job trying to connect all the things and stuff they dont have rights for (like Sillmarillion), they mostly try to avoid to not contradict anything.
@@kptmaci4979Good job I didn't compare them then, building a strawman argument that has nothing to do with what I actually said is insanity bro
I get peoples criticisms of the first season but I think people went too hard on it xD
people who never watched the show and made up their mind the moment they saw dark elf with short hair and focus on a woman in the first trailer for 1st season you mean? xd They are still here despite not only not watching a single ep to this day and claiming to have read books like Sillmarillion, where they most probably never even picked up hobbit book and are simple lotr movie trilogy enjoyers. Those are your 95% of haters of this show.
This season looks even better than season 1. Hype level is through the ROOF for me
Smart that they’re not trying to compete with House of the Dragon. I think their hope was that they’d have the same success as House of the dragon (maybe that’s why ROP was reminding people of GOT ensemble wise?). knowing that they’re not on the same level they chose to wait till after which I hope works in there favour, finish the fantasy show on max and go to the fantasy show on prime immediately after, the party never has to end
I believe they lost some potencial viewership due to direct clash with HOTD so this time they decided to push the premiere after the first show is over.
I liked season one and can't wait to see this
I'm excited for this. I really loved season 1 and watched it a bunch of times
Very excited! Us Fantasy nerds are eating good yet again!
it still looks wrong. the elves are basically all miscast, and the way it's filmed doesn't FEEL like lord of the rings.
it's basically guaranteed to have the second season fall roughly as flat as the first season unfortunately.
casting and costuming REALLY screwed them, but also the script and everything are just way too generic. maybe they should have read LotR first? lol
Am looking forward to season 2. Enjoyed the first season. Only didn't enjoy the troll squads on the internet.
I liked rings of power, it buttered my croissant, and my dad and I read the books and lore being bled is stunning. The hate train is tiresome, no one has their own opinion, just copying everybody else's poison to fit in. Rings Of Power is good, dark but not pornagraphic sex torture dark like game of thrones saga.
When a shower suffers this badly from unpopularity, I cannot see you blaming that entirely or even largely on bandwagoning. Don’t get me wrong, I encourage you to enjoy the show if you like it. I’m happy for you even if not for myself. But I find your claims to be absurd. Most people consider the show to be a disgrace to Tolkien’s legacy, and being a fan of the books AND the show doesn’t suddenly invalidate that and make everyone else sheep
I actually really enjoyed Rings of Power alot more than House of Dragons, one of the biggest reasons was I really liked the characters (could also actually see what was happening in RoP). By the end of HoD I hated most of the characters, and really don't care about any of their fates.
If you hated most the characters in HOTD by the end good, the show did what it was supposed to do, they are all terrible people. Also you can't tell me with a straight face that Galadriel was a good or well written character, like come on
@@lucasbelmonte2832 I can. She wasnt badly written character for sure. She isnt some mary sue like many incels like to call powerful female characters, instead of pointing out flaws. She is powerful, just because she is always meant to be, yet she fails many times in the show, mainly due to being decieved by Sauron by her side. She is conflicted character. I like that she is in her rebelious phase in first season and it costs her and those around her, cause she chooses to trust wrong people and pushes her agenda too strong, making Saurons job easy in the end, which makes her choices annoying at times. Doesnt make them badly written. Quite the opposite. Its good she makes wrong, annoying choices, if they fit her character. If she made irrational, but good decisions, would that be better writing? Of course not. I can see it easily being a setup for her becoming more of a Galadriel we already know - more restricted, dangerous, yet composed, cause she already burned herself by being ruch and jumping to battle head on. Its clear she is about to learn that lesson in the show if she havent already. She started in very tough and dynamic situation in s1 and by the end learned her lesson by failing and having to overcome the evil that she allowed to snuck up on her. The setup is already obvious - she starts as rush warrior and learns that not everything can be solved by great swordsmanship - she will end up as calm, yet able to burst when pressed mystic we know from lotr movies.
@@kptmaci4979 Galadriel is a dynamic character and that's the main problem with her most people have. She's already lived a thousand years or something nad yet she is not the character we know from the Lord of the Rings. I'd say it's a good thing so she's boring or flawless. She is a character the viewers can understand, more human than elvish in nature.
They like it???
Yep! There was definitely a mixture of folks who didn't like it and folks who did. Nothing wrong with either 👍
Yes opinions exist. I am a die hard Tolkien so many of the lore changes in season 1 didn’t sit well with me. There were many things I liked in season 1 too, though. This trailer looks good.
So did/do I!
@@katieee1203 true but the ratios... 🫣
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE And? The crew are doing fine 🤣
I´m so hyped!!!! S1 was awesome, S2 is gonna be🔥
I wish they would stop trying to do hollow emulations of Tolkien’s prose in their dialogue. “He worms his way in then the rest of him slithers in” means nothing, just like half the lines they throw in here. The old movies knew to use Tolkien’s lines directly when needed but to avoid trying to overdo it and especially not try to fill it with their own half baked copies.
Normally you'd let a dumpster fire die on its own or try to put it out somehow. Amazon thinks it best to add more fuel to it.
S1 looked amazing but S2 somehow looks even better. Can’t wait for this!
"Reaction to the first series was...lukewarm."
Is 'lukewarm' now a synonym for 'seething hatred'?
HOTD trailer getting dropped a couple hours after this one is shithousery at its finest from HBO hahaahha
HotD superior and they know it.
@@DubbleLime 100% my man, its just such good marketing
And it's getting almost 3 times less views. :D
@@piotrnowak8725 Really that's your argument? Its just because LOTR is a much bigger and more known brand than GOT. Doesn't mean that the ROT trailer is better than HOTD... And btw, atleast HOTD had a good first season...
@@milanistanorway Interesting point considering GOT was once the most popular show in the Internet (Google search). Obviously there is the factor of ROP being the first teaser of new season and HOTD being the final trailer but yet the point is that ROP is much more popular than haters think (or maybe haters know how popular it is which is why they get so much attention).
Wasn’t a fan of the first season. (Not for the anti woke reason, I just didn’t think it was very good). Hoping they improve it in the second, but I’m cautious.
It's not anti woke to hate a famous and historic piece of literature being abused.
@@truetolkienfan8491 yeah I mean I wasn’t a fan of a lot of the diversity for diversity’s sake. Like a lot of it didnt make sense how was a small isolated group of “not hobbits” so diverse? Who knows. But there were preexisting ways in the lore that they could’ve used to get diversity, different races and groups that Tolkien had already written already.
That aside I still tried to go into it with an open mind at least and look past any pre judgements…. It’s still just ended up being not that good. lol
@@truetolkienfan8491 mostly said by people who never picked up a tolkien book and are just mad because they saw dark elf with short hair + focus on a woman in trailer for first season and never saw one ep of RoP in the end. Great way to prove my other point under your comment with your true colors shown here. It doesnt butcher any material. People act like the sillmarillion, the most tedious book to go through, because it was never polished and is rough could be easily adapted 1:1 - most of even tolkien books fans never read it and suddenly everyone is an expert on it xD Sure. Just say you never read the material you claim "they are abusing" and save everyones time.
@kptmaci4979 You have either never read a book or are a troll either way. No one cares your billion dollar show is disrespectful and unpopular. Cry.
Season 1 was flawed but still had a lot of good points, interesting characters & cool moments. It’s always fun to journey to Middle•Earth. The producers & show•runners had the impossible & ambitious task of fashioning a story based in the Second Age from a mix of fragments, appendices, etc. Appeasing the Tolkien purists & die-hards is an impossible task. It seems like the cool thing to do is to hop on the critical bandwagon & just trash it regardless of anything else.
I enjoyed a lot of Season 1 & am holding out hope that the show•runners have corrected the course a bit & are improving on Season 1. I think that this Season 2 trailer gives us some home. It’s a bit darker, grittier & looks like a Middle•Earth that’s more lived in & believable instead of the overly refined version of Middle•Earth that they gave us in Season 1.
So far in 2024 we’ve been spoiled with a lot of excellent shows & movies like Dune 2, Fallout & Shogun. In recent years we’ve seen a lot of woke & badly made shows, but 2024 has bucked that trend. Now we have some exciting titles coming up like Furiosa, House of the Dragon & Rings of Power. Hopefully these shows keep the 2024 trend of excellent story telling going. I’m reserving judgement & am cautiously optimistic.
Thanks for the reaction guys. You seem to have the same perspective as me & seem excited about the possibilities that Season 2 holds for us. I hope they exceed expectations regardless of the purists & die•hards who have already decided it’s crap & are impossible to satisfy regardless of what the show•runners do or don’t do for that matter. Cheers!🙂👍
Looks great, we all know the inconsistencies etc etc but its looks great
I am convinced most of these comments are Amazon bots.
God damn, you are really upset over this 😂 People liking something you don't isn't that deep bud. If you don't like it why are you here?
@truetolkienfan8491
you are 100% right

says the "tolkien" fanboy bot LOL stop being so weak

Another 1 billion flop inbound one wig to rule them all
Rings of doodoo.
comments full of the worst toxic positivity about a garbage corpo product, bots and shills all the way down
says guy with revived old Windu in his profile pic. The irony
OK but people being toxic towards people who are looking forward to this and shitting on what they enjoy is ok? Sure bud.
Already some triggered people in the comments lol. Was the first season perfect? No. But I loved it. Granted as with every book to adpation, book nerds always get angry about changes or of there is new lore made. Which is why I discount their views on if the show is good. I'm basing the show on, you know, the show. Not some books. Much like the MCU is its own universe. Also I realize the show tries to hard to be epic, but eh.
truthfully like different interpretations of adaptions but the first season just felt bland, like the potential was there and they fumbled hard. i do hope this season steps up the game, i never hope for the downfall of anything
You can argue that the people dislike it because of changes to lore and differences from the book and I want to preface it's fine to enjoy Rings of Power but that argument feels invalid when shows like House of the Dragon made differences from the book and people applauded them.
I just think most people are very disappointed that a world they loved has not been, in their opinion, done justice. Which I can definitely relate to on some points. It's also a bit touchy because Tolkien has passed away and thus handling/changing his work, which is by many considered near perfect and one of the grandfathers of all fantasy, can be considered rather disrespectful. It's like giving a new artist a Van Gogh painting and telling them to extend on it, of course such an act would be a touchy subject and rightfully so.
Season two trailer looks a bit better than season one though, so who knows.
I can't believe original fans don't like it when a multi-billion dollar company spits in their face.
@@truetolkienfan8491 touch some grass. If you think this show spit in your face - you were never lotr fan in the first place and probably never picked up a tolkien book. Like most haters of this show.
Betas x 3...
Are you scared to criticise anything mainstream?
You know how it works nowdays. They are probably afraid of speaking out of line because terminally online mobs might cancel them. No way real nerds are hyped for shows like this. They watch even the latest Doctor Who... they must be pretending to enjoy it just to appeal to the "modern audiences" lol
yeah either they actually like everything which is unlikely or they want to always stay the most positive they can.
@@valk9519 are maybe people like different things and internet incels like you can get over it
@@Arthera0 they hated plenty of things and stopped watching certain shows because of it, you people just love to hate no matter what and then get mad when people enjoy something LOL
Or and this may sound like a foreign concept to you, they may actually like something that you don't *GASP* big shock! We don't all have to like/dislike the same things. If you don't like this then why are even here?
Why does this reaction have over 400 dislikes? What is wrong with people? Just hating on this show for the sake of hate.
People just love hating on folks who enjoy what they hate. Sad folks who'd rather focus on things they dislike instead of spending their time focusing on things they enjoy.
To be fair people are allowed to share and show their opinion however they like same as yourself.
@@Delogros sharing in an opinion is fine but shitting on other people's enjoyments is not.
Telling someone they are "brain dead" for liking this is not ok.
@@katieee1203 "shitting on other people's enjoyments is not." Actually that's fine as well, however I agree being insulting for no other reason then someone saying they like the thing isn't OK, do keep it in mind however that the same people saying it have probably been called various ist and phobe's for their critism of the show as well and that was happening long before season 1 came out, can't really ask one side of the argument to be nice while also calling them some of the most foul names in the English language.
Just to be clear not saying you did that but I am pointing out there are 2 sides to your point.
@@Delogros Being toxic on both sides is wrong. So no shitting on what people like is not fine. Just like it's not fine the other way.
Wigs of Power: What trash.
I’m genuinely surprised how many people seem to like this show…
the only think i liked about season one was the dwarf story
@@Arthera0oh yes, I thought that was interesting to be fair and featured the best acting in the show
I've seen worse fantasy shows. Many of them are very generic in story and characters and the world doesn't look fantasy at all. Also, there are very few shows that can't be saved by phenomenal soundtrack.
I remember nothing about the first season, it was so bad. Nothing to do with the freaks crying about it being woke, it just sucked. It looked great though. But I’ll watch.
