Kinda funny that the show runners said they didn’t want the story to seem like Narnia considering Lewis was friends with Tolkien. Lewis even dedicated the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe to Tolkien, because Tolkien despised the allegory in it while helping to edit it. While they had their literary differences anyone who has read both can easily tell you they shared a world view and LOTR is far closer to Narnia than GOT or Braveheart.

Thank you. LotR and Narnia are quite different in some ways but are grounded in the same artistic mindset and worldview. I don't think that someone who really loves Tolkien can hate Lewis; they are too bound together and too much alike. A "Tolkien fan" attacking Lewis or Narnia for no reason has become a red flag for me. Of course these idiot showrunners hate Narnia - judging by their show, I think they hate LotR too, even if they think they love it.

Galadriel’s asbestos hair disagrees 😉

After a 1000°C hot pyroclastic flow scorched the land, every tree is charred, not a single plant remains alive and all the houses are ablaze... but the main characters, and even most of the extras, are fine. Yes, the queen is blind but her hair is not singed, no ugly burn marks in her face (just a bit of dirt), and her dress - I mean armor - is as fabulous as on the day she set sail. A+ for immersion. Best show ever 10/10.

The part where Galadriel looked Miriel in the eyes and said “We are not in Numenor, we are in Wakanda” I felt moved and finally felt like we are back to Middle Earth.

I thought it was stupid to pretend that Isildur is dead. My wife knows nothing of Tolkien. We watched the Peter Jackson trilogies together but she didn't memorize names. She's also far less critical about movies than I am; she prefers to just watch the good stuff and not worry too much about the dumb stuff. You know, the target audience for this crappy show. When we met Isildur in the 2nd episode, I paused it and told her he's the same guy that cut Sauron's ring off his hand but then decided to keep it for himself. She thought it was pretty cool that this show is tying characters to the movies. Then when this scene happened with the ton of burning roof falling on Isuldur, we had this conversation: I thought you said he will cut off Sauron's fingers? He will. Then how can he die now? He can't. Oh, that's dumb. They should have made it fall on his dad or something. I didn't worry about mentioning that Elendil is in that same future battle and Sauron kills him. She forgot who that was, and I can live with that. The point is that my non-critical wife thought it was dumb to fake-kill a guy we know cannot be killed here, so how is it possible that the showrunners couldn't figure that out??? The answer is that we got 7 episodes of setup and backstory and they never bothered to make us care about, or even be interested in, any Numenorean except the Queen, Elendil, and Isildur, so they didn't have anybody to fake-kill that we care about but they so desperately wanted to do Aragorn's fake-death thing from the Two Towers movie, so they did a stupid one.

You can actually fake kill characters who can’t really die and make it work. Look at arcane for example. People who played the game know that champion characters can’t really die.

Because the writing is good even if you know that they can’t possibly kill her you still are intrigued

Instead of the Pompei reference I was thinking about Herculaneum that fell in the same eruption Pompei did. People there were hit by the volcanic ash at the speed of sound basically, and it was so hot that their brains blew up their skulls from the inside. In the series this pretty much happens and only random NPCs die while main cast survives without a scratch.

Celeborn cannot be dead. There would be no Celebrian without him (Elrond's wife) and therefor no Arwen. I bet we'll find him imprisoned somewhere along the way. Or maybe he faked his death to get away from his wife...

If they're all lvl 7 rogues they can uncanny dodge and take no damage if they succeed the save.

Strong Woman: You have not seen what I have seen! Queen Bee: You have not seen what I can not see!

So the queen is blind from embers but not from the pyroclastic flow….got it.

In a recent eruption (about 10-15 years ago.) four people got caught in it. two of them were instantly vaporized by the Pyroclastic flow, and one of them died from their lungs catching fire from the super headed air. The last one managed to barely survive by hiding and using a contained breathing apparatus. So some medieval peasants surviving a point blank volcanic eruption and earthquake is hilarious.

Pissing over Tolkiens grave clearly isn’t enough for Amazon, wonder if they wil dig up his corpse and present him in the last episode

These videos are far more interesting to watch than the show itself.

Not one of them used a cloth tied round the face in an attempt to keep the smoke, and far worse out, of their lungs. Don't even remember one of them coughing.

They are strong characters with strong lungs, they don't need to breathe air.

"Woman are strong and independent...so that volcano is just gonna have to deal with it"

I demand justice for the Volcano. Mt. Doom tried to do its best to go full Vesuv but all main charakters cheated with their plot armor. That's not fair.

Annatar coming to the elves, and the making of the three, should have been the whole first season.

Fun fact, there wasn't a single cough after being stomped by Mount doom

I showed my girlfriend(who is pretty apathetic to all this stuff) the part in your video about Tolkien including his wife in his work as well as the inscriptions on the gravestones and it actually made her cry. She said that was so beautiful and sweet, then got upset afterwards when I mentioned it was pilfered and given to another character. It just shows how meaningful and real this world was to him and his family and for the writers to do something like that is the most disrespectful thing they did in this entire show.

You historically hit EVERY realistic truth about what happens to humans who face a pyroclastic flow! THANK YOU! You bow to no one!!!! 👑

To be fair, the people who wrote this are probably the same people who deny science for hurting their feelings.

Don't forget that Bronwyn got shot with two arrows and THEN survived a pyroclastic eruption. Single mother plot armor is heck'n strong

You are absolutely right about deadly pyroclastic flows and about the eruption survivors in the RoP. I would only like to note that Pompeii was buried under volcanic ash, while Herculaneum was affected by pyroclastic flows proper. Accordingly, the victims from Pompeii (we see them on 1:29) actually died of suffocation and the volcanic ashes preserved their bodies. Those who died in Herculaneum were instantly turned into carbonized skeletons - the form in which archaeologists usually find them. My point is that Guyladriel et alia would not look like poor victims from Pompeii, but much worse, they would become carbonized skeletons, with their flesh evaporated within seconds. The temperature of gases in the pyroclastic flows can reach 1,000 °C, you know! So, the episode is of course unnatural and simply ridiculous regarded from the point of view of volcanology.

One thing: all the "bodies" one can witness in Pompeii are concrete pouring into caveties in the ground where there once *WAS* a body. It's not preserved bodies. That's all.
