The tunnels and trenches dug channeled the water into the molten core (not THE Molten Core, and the fiery Balrog actually lives in a deep crevice among the roots of the Elven power tree), so the explosive evaporation of all that water somehow didn't cool the mountain or made it exhaust steam but made it shoot lava cannon balls and cover the land in an avalanche of fiery dust that Galadriel saw no reason to hide from, and I assumed because of her guilt and wanting to die, but the other villagers didn't matter to her; nothing new there. She even had the same overconfident, self-absorbed copypaste hero face when it happened. Oh and air filled with smoke makes one or two people cought once, but most of them are heavy smokers, especially the people with plot armor. And the queen was surprise-to-everyone (mostly, later completely) blinded and had to ask when the smoke will pass to shoehorn a lame surprise also pushed along by totally not using your common eye VFX to indicate it but her eyes were clear and crisp all the time and yet for some reason she had cataract symptoms. Because applying eye VFX was either too expensive (ha-ha) or would have ruined that genius surprise scene of her blindness being revealed.

Yep, I realized very quickly the writers never even read the silmarillion... In the books, Gandalf comes in on a boat and basically starts off his journey where it ends at the end of lord of the rings, also gets given one of the rings of power over Saruman (a small slight which builds over the centuries and is a slight foreshadowing of their eventual clash in LotR's), both of these things were well written and serves not only as a fair starting point for an important character but works to set the stage for the rest of the story. But yeah RoP is dumb enough to ignore all that and go... you know I really liked playing Diablo 3, like REALLY liked it... so anyway I just learned Gandalf was essentially an Angel in Tolkien's lore... wouldn't it be cool if we had him fall from a meteor just like Tyrael in Diablo 3...

@@bigblakboiii the original trilogy was a good adaptation that had the utmost respect for the source material. The changes made were mostly necessary for a cinematic adaptation. Tolkien's work is so insanely detailed and encyclopedic in nature that no film should ever try to 100% follow it as a a script. Books and TV are far from being similar story telling devices. You can't just do a 1:1 mirroring of the two. It doesn't work like that. That being said, the show does not respect the source material at all. It seems to utterly despise it. Changing everything on a whim because it suits their modern sensibilities. They don't want to depict Tolkien's world. They want to create their own while taking advantage of Tolkien's good name. They want to easily ride on the coattails of a long gone literary legend.

I wish more people realized this. The show was 100% a billion dollar money laundering run for almost everyone involved. Bezos probably signed off on it without reading a single script or talking to a single person actually involved in making it, so any real success would have been just a nice side effect that made their use of future seasons for more of the same a lot easier, but either way, plenty of people in the right places got their cut of that billion plus bezosbucks dumped into this mess. The fact that despite its abysmal numbers (after the first episode, when people realized what they were in for and abandoned ship) they greenlit additional seasons is all but proof of this. They'll keep churning this along despite nobody watching and letting Amazon get those great hollywood/twitter brownie points for being so diverse and inclusive, and just enough morons will cheer and clap (but then not actually watch the show because, oh right, it's BAAAD) that it's the perfect shield against scrutiny.

I've looked at price estimates and it's roughly 3x the cost of HOTD per episode if the cost of the franchise rights aren't included. This is not surprising. From a project management perspective, HOTD kept a limited set of locations for each episode (including real castles with natural lighting, which they screwed up a bit due to time constraints), limited use of CGI, and remained very character oriented. ROP had to fall back on big CGI shots like the montage of the wars of the Noldor, fantastical cityscapes, and immitating dragon age rather than Tolkien for dwarven civilization (they also stole the non-functional rigging of the numenorean ships from dragon age). It wasn't impactful because the people doing it were incompetent, but you can tell that they were throwing money at it.

My favorite pitch meeting line is : `and then Batman adopts Robin despite the fact that Robin is quite obviously a fully grown adult.`

Watching Pitch Meetings for shows I'll never even care enough to even consider bothering watching, to the point these videos are actually the very first time in my life I've ever even seen their titles, is TIGHT!

In RoP, Galadriel found out about Sauron and THEN she had Celebrimbor and Elrond finish the rings, knowing completely that it was Sauron's idea to make them into rings the whole time. Like... why wouldn't she just say "hey, the guy I've been chasing thousands of years is the same guy who helped make these rings and is totally up to something" or just give them a heads-up...

The shows excuse is that this would somehow mean Galadriel conspired with Sauron and thus she can't tell the other for fear of the consequences. That makes no sense though, because they didn't see through his disguise either.

@@GarageQueen Lol, even from that standpoint of "well obviously characters have to make stupid decisions so the show can happen", you can still tell a good story and not have every character act like a moron. The Galadriel of RoP hates Sauron SO much that there is absolutely no way she wouldn't tell the others about his involvement with the rings. I mean, she refused Sauron's offer but still let his plan come to fruition. It basically makes Galadriel out to be massively hypocritical and trying to grab power for herself, which would actually be an interesting plot point of season 2 IF they went that way, but the showrunners seem completely invested in excusing everything Galadriel does/says in season 1. I mean, she literally threatens to torture prisoners of war, kill and depose rulers, threatens to shank officials in back alleys, threatens her own soldiers, etc etc. The only way the show can redeem her is if she actually stops her genocidal quest of killing every single Orc/Uruk and admitting she was wrong, but that would include putting up her sword and actually becoming like, well, Galadriel from LotR (we still haven'tseen a single use of magic from RoP Galadriel), who is more of a pacifist, and I highly doubt the showrumners would *ever* do that.

@@Darhhaall The issue is, the other rings, rings for the Dwarves and Men, were made FIRST (with some assistance from Sauron) and afterwards, the rings for the Elves were made. In the original lore *and* movies, the Elves made their rings without Sauron, but used his techniques, so the rings still had the secret backdoor Sauron had in them so the One Ring could influence them. It's like the showrumners just watched the opening of Fellowship and thought "oh, the rings for the elves were made first, then dwarves, then men, and Sauron personally helped make all of them!", and went from there.

Hobbits used to be so wholesome and traditional.

I wanna see a full version of this pitch meeting where Ryan pronounces every name of every character or place like that: Galadrriæl, Noomenourrrrr, Morrrrgoth, Saourron It’s my favorite part of this pitch meeting 😂

"Anyway, the elves need this stuff, or they are going to die" "Why" "Cause they'll die if they don't get it" That basically summarises it perfectly. The entire plot point is based on the elves being about to die. Why? Because they are, there is no reason for it, don't think about it too much. It is necessary for the plot.

@@timsaylor4390 Absolutely granted, they're off by the long shot, I don't disregard however the potential entirely. The plot has some major holes, and the dialogue is off in multiple areas, however there was some good in it and it was by far the most aesthetically stunning shows this past year. It certainly derives from many Tolkien points and scenes, but need we forget that Jackson did too, and that the Lord of the Rings was a lot better laid out than Silmarillion? Not saying it wasn't bad in a lot of areas, but to hate it I'd say is overkill.

The only reason that the Gandalf reveal was a major twist was because there were a thousand reasons it absolutely should not have been Gandalf, not the least of which being that he cannonocally doesn't show up until about a thousand years after the last allience of elves and men when Sauron gets his finger cut off.

This deserves a thousand votes. Honestly, what the hell. Gandalf showing up before the actual corruption of Men and Dwarves is like the police showing up at your door the day you move into a neighborhood because you look like you might cause a noise complaint. I hate writers who are allergic to cause and effect. They literally are proud of themselves for shoehorning in "because destiny said so!" Same thing with Mordor. How was Mordor created? From centuries of industrial misuse of the land? Or one volcanic boi? Why show the land decaying for a reason when you can just make it Mordor instantly because it will become Mordor, therefore it is Mordor.
