It looks great!
Going through this again cause it's hilarious. Annatar was the Lord of Gifts (very cool name imo).
I’m convinced this is parody
it looks good on the image front. you can see they did poure money into it. it didnt look that great in the first season. eregion for instance looked bad with a dead canvas as background.
You guys have to try so hard to hate this. I watched it specifically to watch the struggle and it was real. Maybe pick an original name posers. 😂😂😂 disliked.
FYI, the stranger is the other blue wizard. The first blue wizard can be seen in one of the cultist clips of this trailer with a long staff.
Hahaha the first time i saw Tom Bombadil in the trailer a said that his hat would be Gandalf's hat and i was totally right....this xit show os so predictable
3 minutes into your breakdown and....to think I underestimated Amazon so badly. I truly didn't believe they could possibly make me bang my head any harder against the wall than they already did and then....Galadriel puts on Nenya. ... ... ... ... 😵🤦♀️🙄😮💨 I would swear never to be so naive again, but I suspect Amazon still has even further depths to plumb that the minds of the jaded had not imagined.
…and you would be right. Stay tuned.
Remember, THIS Tom Bombadil is 5 to 10 % more interventionist than in the books (according to the showrunners)
You are wrong but that’s okay
John Boorman's Lord of the Rings lives again.
Im hearing Katy Perry is doing the soundtrack
They would need to come up with a justification for talking about 'The Nine' because they weren't actually nine rings for men when they were made.
Durin knows powerpushing now. Durin to Quimir
And they have Fremen
Gilgalad acts as if he found his daughter making out in bed with a strange guy
But he can controle the rinbearers only after he made the one ring. And he has not done it yet.
The whole Show is compromitted by the awfull 1st season. And now, they try to fix some of the stupidity and more lore will be butchered and there are things that cannot be fixed anymore.
I think the elf with the orc arrows in his chest is Celeborn. Maybe the way he (not) died in Galadriel's eyes?
Amazons "Rings of Power" is an abomination and so is even discussing it, and giving this trash oxygen, i made it 7 mins in and had to GTFO before i was driven mad by the fact that they made the three elven rings first" Idiots!
The amount of exculpatory remarks in the comments for this trailer on the prime channel is absolutely disgusting.
piffle
thank you
No way they originally intended to put "Annatar" in in season 2. They only did that in response to all the criticism about season 1, hoping to salvage their show somewhat. They are so incompetent that they don't even realize that it's too late, putting Annatar in now they already had Halbrand take over his role makes no SENSE.
This show is an absolute train wreck! There is nothing they can do.
"back to the book, the book , the book , the book "
😂
Bombadil looks like Hagrid. Gilgalad is still a golden pr...k and Galadriel a cooooow. I will only watch funny reviews as this desacration of Tolkien makes me so mad.and intelligent sweetheart Rachel Maddow told the world Tolkien fans are alt right. I have allready enough and I am fuming.
Forage Friendship was probably intended for farming but some marketing person didn't get it and just had to make them edit in hobbit friends. The person who thought they were clever with the forage word usage probably hates their life because of some marketing VP as dumb as the Bud Lite VP
Its Hobbit Crossing.
Hagrid Bombadil
One Amazon to ruin them all, and in the wokeness, bind them.....
The best way to make sure there is no season 3. Is to not watch it. Dpn't even hate watch it. These guys will watch it for us. Just come and enjoy these guys making fun of it, don't under any circmstances watch the show. That said, last season Amazon was doing really weird stuff. E.g. I intentionally even avoided the trailer on the Amazon app. I never clicked the show. I ignored it every possible way. One day I open up my amazon app, and it says "continue watching Rings of Prime?" What? And it's not like anyone was on my account watching it because it wanted to start from the very start of episode 1
They should have called this with anything but Tolkien. This world the talentless Payne and McKay made is more akin to Warcraft or Warhammer than Tolkien. But they dare say back to the book.
Like others have remarked, why do the ring jewels look like candy ring pops?
You write what you know I guess..
I think this could be epically bad. Season 1 was funny because it was so bad, but I think they will go over the top to try to save the show and it'll actually be worse. The viewership on this is going to be so small. Nobody is excited for this. Even the shills are eerily quiet.
Celebrimbor is the finest Elven craftsman since Feanor. Also Celebrimbor is a moron.
Thank goodness for you gentleman. This show will be diabolical. I won’t watch it; I’ll watch you destroy it.
This show drives me to drink. Cannot promise our future reviews won’t be a bit tipsy from my corner.
"Forgiveness takes an age". Apparently the EntHusbands found a way to really piss the Entwives off.
About Tom B, Second Age, different rules! (or something)
Most of Middle-earth goes into Hibernation for just one age which is the imagination you get from these guys. Fact. So stop watching a retard and join the Lotr family cos Amazon carrying the fandom on the back and are the only ones that have created something worthy of the Tolkien name in the last 20years. Let these have the card and board games, Mines of Moria and Gollum Game and The Real Lotr fans will have a 50hour show and a online multiplayer battle arena game coming from Amazon games also.. thank god
Lol Tatooine and the sand people. I lost it there and then.
I just read this on the Amazon UK site quoting Rory Kinnear on playing Tom Bombadil: " So I sort of knew instantly then that it had a cultural heft to it that I was going to have to be sensitive to" and I misread "heft" as "theft" and it made sense 🤨
Rory Kinnear doesn't even like nerdy things. He's one of those who despise them. He must be scrapping the barrel for jobs as of late to have accepted this.
Even his quote makes my skin crawl. Actors speak such cringeworthy bollocks
In Sauron’s retreat from Eregion after the Númenorians join Gil Galad, Sauron burns down the land of the Entwives, which becomes the Brown Lands, that’s when they disappear
Sounds like they really did give Bombadil a Cornish accent! Disparu is gonna have a field day 🤣🤣
There's always that to look forward to, yes! 😂
Wait why are their two Durin's alive at the same time!?
Because Amazon’s writers are fools.
Look closely; Durin is a carbon copy of Fu Manchu……
I really enjoy Michael in these because his encyclopedic knowledge in regard to Tolkien's work is very refreshing, makes me feel less obsessive about my own encyclopedic nature as well ps. Love ya too Jonathan : ) pps. cheers for coming Mr. Trent 🍻
Right there with you! I'm not ashamed he knows his Tolkien bits better than me :)
Jonathan is about as much of a spesh as the haters over at nerdrotic. Gandalf was named Olorin in the second age. Harfoots were also.. get ya facts checked before coming at a Tolkien Scholar 🤣🤣
@@Martin-bf3by How about you check you own facts. Gandalf was called Olorin in the Second Age because Olorin never set foot on Middle Earth during the Second Age. Harfoots did not even exist in the Second Age, because Harfoots are one of the three breeds that hobbits split into and *hobbits* did not exist in the Second Age. Smeagol and his grandmother's river-folk were already 5 centuries into the *Third* Age and still had not completely evolved into hobbits yet. If you want to enjoy the show, go ahead and enjoy the show. I have friends with whom I am deliberately not sharing my true opinions of the show or Second Age lore because I know they are enjoying TROP and I don't want to ruin that enjoyment. But quit trying to snow people into believing the show is anything short of lore-pulverizing.
@@sarahgould5435 oh so every race just hibernates in the second age because they were in the first and third. How retarded is that Sarah, that's the type of imagination that leaves Tolkien very disappointed..in all of you.
@@sarahgould5435 and Olorin was in Middle-earth in the second age you spesh, the fact you haters think you know more lore than people like me and the Tolkien scholars in the writing room. Even some of the actors know more than u
Celebrimbor didn't know about alloys lol, its still so stupid. He only ever made things from pure metals?
Celebrimbor is literally the dumbest person in Middle-earth in the Rings of Power. 😢
Middle Earth is now Multi Earth
This is why Peter Jackson did such a good job these show Hacks have no idea what there doing have they heard of anything else besides CGI. It's like they never heard of Practical effects Jacksons Ents well Treebeard was actually all 100% Practical effects and he would mix that with some CGI. This show looks like another waste of time filler b.s Failure. 😅 and were here to watch this ship Sink like a Rock would 😂 get it lol.
Still, PJ used even more CGI in Hobbit The only reason he didn’t do this in LOTR, because technology weren’t good enough
Also the scene where the Ring falls down the stairs is a call-back to the scene in Peter Jackson’ version under the Misty Mountains. And there seems to be a repeat of the horse race scene to the ford in The Fellowship of the Ring.
Good catches! I did think that about the horse race scene, but I missed the callback to the Jackson films of the ring falling down the stairs. The ‘Member-berries’ by the Amazon team are absolutely shameless. 😂
