Eminem killed me 💀🤣

Why didn't Jeff Bezos watch The Lord of the Rings expanded in 4K in his private cinema (I'm sure he has it in all his homes) and then went to the meeting with those responsible for the 8 insufferable episodes. He sued them. Called Petter Jackson. Asked for help the global online community of LOTR to Fubar them and their defense lawyers rescued all the wasted money and Petter and his pupils reinvested everything recovered... it's ridiculous how 20 years of technology and 1,000,000,000 U$D Where is the money? in the 3third world, we are used to theft and corruption. Ask any Latino LOTR fan, they will tell you that the ShowRunners hide it....And our hopes and dreams of 20 years. It is obvious that they save a lot of time and money on special effects. Ai"s? this 8 episodes cant be seen they are horrendous i wanna see Galadriel as it was not as a "super elfmen" @LudvigW

I couldn't look at the top part because I was watching the bottom part.

Then don't watch it. It's very simple.

Here I agree with you. This scene was probably the most unnecessary scene in the show. Also they strike edge on edge. Very improper technique.

When I take away the wet-floor signs in the nursing home.

Hahaha do they start spinning too 😂

Yeah, that's what they're supposed to be. Although in the books Saruman didn't get them from a puddle of mud.

Same. None of that contemptuous racial pandering in Tolkien’s books or PJ’s movies and yet they were enjoyed and loved by millions of people of all races and backgrounds united in their love for the lore. Rings of Empowerment’s patronizing “diversity” insults your intelligence and alienates and polarizes more than the original depictions that paid no heed to “inclusionary” quotas yet appealed to everyone.

Can't agree more. As Asian myself, I don't want to see Asian elf too. Every single land has its own myths, folklores and whatnot. Let one culture talks about their culture, without forcing diversity propaganda whatsoever.

You know there's some reference to japan culture, when lord Elrond comes up to fight Nazgul, he draws his curved sword, holds and releases his sheath like classical samurai and it looks so cool

I am a Turk and I would not want to see a Turkish elf in the series.

well , now you can see asian elf in RoP season 2 trailer, its the DEI policy that Amazon has, so sadly they had to do it

At least they treat their employees well. Also I don't think that it is any more female oriented or race driven than lotr. When I see Arondir on screen I don't scream and throw a fit that there's a black elf being as cool as the white ones. I don't throw a brick through my tv every time I see Galadriel be the warrior she was in the Silmarilion.

@@NightOwlStudios21 I certainly wouldn't throw a fit either...if what they were doing was natural and not following an agenda. The problem is this: Arondir is there not to be a character, but to be a diversity checkmark. Especially since all evidence indicates elves in this setting are supposed to be a fair skinned, almost ethereal race in the world of LotR. Which means that an adaptation that wants to be TRUE to its source materiel would follow along on that front. If Amazon simply wanted to make their own fantasy show and fill it with black elves, more power to them. But when they step into an already pre-existing franchise and setting, they should respect it, not use it as a platform for political and social brownie points. Same thing with Galadriel. There's nothing wrong if she was shown to be a warrior. That is very much NOT what they did though. What they did, instead, was turn her into the stereotypical 'slay queen girl boss' that now infests most of Hollywood and entertainment media. When she can so effortlessly slay something her fellow elf warriors are dying against, when her 'teaching' of Numenorian recruits is done more to just show off 'look how amazing she is' then to show an actual experienced warrior mentoring new recruits, when she does stupid things that would normally get someone killed, that even Legolas would go 'yeah, that's a bit too much', then it's not being true to the character, it's just there to further push an agenda. Lord of the Rings already gave us two respectable female characters to latch onto: Arwen and Eowyn. The latter of whom is a strong female character WITHOUT being a girl boss. While I'd expect Galadriel, obviously, to be better then Eoywn, what they did in Rings of Power is just utter stupidity and ridiculousness meant to show off 'how cool and amazing and super and better then everyone else' she is, not what a strong character she actually is. Rings of Power is not a faithful adaptation to Lord of the Rings or Tolkien's lore. And you can tell simply by looking at the 'defense' of it, not by people like you, but by the cast and creators themselves. They HAVE no defense except calling people racists, sexist, and bigots. Which goes to show that what they care about is not being truthful to Tolkien's world, but using it simply to further push their agenda. If you like it, fine. Great. More power to you. But that doesn't suddenly mean people who don't like it are wrong. Especially when the reason they don't like it isn't because 'oh, black person showing up white people or girl being a warrior is stupid', but when a franchise, a modern day mythos they love is being torn apart and mutilated for the sake of pushing a so called 'progressive' agenda.

So what you're saying @TechLeafRanger, is that to be a fair, ethereal, being, you have to be white? Why? Also I agree that the "training scene" was the worst in the show and put in it to emphasize Galadriel's girlbossyness, however I don't think that having a black elf being as cool if not cooler than most of the nameless lamb-for-slaughter elves in lotr is a problem.

@@NightOwlStudios21 Under normal modern day circumstances, no. However, in the context of LotR, yes. With the context Tolkien is using fair, for the time period he existed in and he wrote this, that would be people who are of light complexion, since that was what standard of the time. Some of the races of men, usually the Gondorians and Rohirrihm , are similarly described as such. The NUmenorians before them....I'm not sure. I think I read something of them or some of them being darker complexion, but would need to go and recheck The point is, Tolkien gives us a contrast because he does described OTHER races as being darker and more swarthy of appearance. Examples being the HAradrim and Rhun. Not necessarily black, but an obvious distinction from those he describes as 'fair'. I'm not trying to say there can't be black elves. I'm not trying to say they can't be cool. HOwever, what I am saying is that in the context of LotR it doesn't fit, which is the whole point of making an adaptation in the first place. And when he's literally there to fit a diversity checkbox to pander to angry whiny white activists (because he also is literally the only black elf in the entire series), to the point where plenty of black people have hated him because they know they're being pandered to (just got to find the reaction videos), then he really takes away from his character because you know he's not there to actually BE a character, he's there pretty much to just be a cardboard cut out figure that is basically meant to say 'look how amazing and cool and awesome thins guy we created and put in is. And see how much better he is then the 'white elf guy' Peter Jackson had? Legolas did all these crazy awesome things, but our guy also does flips and spins, so he must be better and superior'. If it's so fine and progressive to now have black elves....where are the rest in the series? Why isn't a third or half of the elves on screen black? Because they knew they'd barely get away with making just the one.

In no way did I interpret the people of color in the show as following an agenda. They never go out of their way to say that they are a person of color who is as good as the white people. They never even acknowledge that he looks different. Did you watch the show? Or are you basing your argument strictly off of this video?

it was never about the director, it was always from start to finish to push the cancerous agenda of feminism and b.s ''diversity'' of what resembles california and united states basicaly LOL they took the story of a british man, of a british folklore and corrupted it into their own hellish dystopian fetish lulu land! it was always to push the sickness into the minds of youth or people! the same they did with other franchises and butchered them!

Amazon has their DEI ( Diversity Equity and Inclusion) policy, thats why we see many stuff manifested in their shows. I just noticed in season 2 trailer that they finally have asian elf in the mix lol

Film? Yes, lotr is an amazing trilogy, but cinematography? No, from a camera's perspective, RoP was better shot, has better angles, and just looks a little cleaner all around.

@@NightOwlStudios21 A battle scene should not look "clean" and the protagonist should not look like wearing armor made from plastic

@anrede8495 what would you know about realistic armor? I have a bit of experience in that particular field, and I thought Galadriels armor was pretty good except for the couters.

They did the exact same thing that PJ did.

The ones in "an unexpected journey" were mountain trolls. The ones in "the battle of five armies" was, what the hell can we do to make this movie even more over the top and bad trolls. Hope this helps!

that mutated dog in rop looks like that hyena from Lion King cartoons movie😂😂

I agree, the warg did look bad, but Rings of Power isn't supposed to have gigantic huge scaled battles like in lotr. It's supposed to be leading up to the large-scale battles.

Sorry mate I think your head is up yours.

dont. Waste of time.

Let people form their own opinions. Also piracy is illegal. Prime has other benefits, aside from watching stuff.

Wtf?

Bro what are you on?

is that sarcasm?

@@bluidoiaoi2213 Could it be? Or maybe it is supersmart reaalistic artistic evaluation

@@Kaelthas111090 ah. so it is a funny/parody then of the people who defend this stuff

it fair.

so you mean you need Christopher to be your baby siters???

XD I also know another commander of the northern armies. His name is Jon snow King of the north xD

@@koreancowboy42 They actually stole it from The gladiator. Gladiator and the movie Elizabeth with Cate Blanchet were savagely copied

If you knew the lore, you would know that Galadriel was, indeed a general! Maybe, just maybe, you aren't quite used to seeing women in places of power.

@@NightOwlStudios21 No you are wrong in both. I have the deepest respect for normal women but the show its shieeet m8.

PJ's elven line of halberds? Swords? Polearms? Whatever they are, isn't practical. If you were fighting in a line against an army charging head long into your line, you would want long pikes, and actually functional armor, not gold foil wrapped around your chest.

@@NightOwlStudios21 See, that’s where you lack imagination and reduce elves to the mundane and to human “practicality” - when the whole point is that they aren’t human and their preternatural grace expands the bounds of what is “practical” for them. You’re parsing human metrics of what is practical onto the elves. Boring, unimaginative, and lame.

You’re parsing human metrics of what is practical onto the elves. It’s boring, unimaginative, and misses the point. It’s like complaining that Hobbits’ lack of footwear isn’t practical after watching them traipse barefoot and with relative economy through the pass of Caradhras and other rough terrain. “Why didn’t PJ make Hobbits wear shoes, it’s much more practical.” Or like seeing Legolas walk unimpeded on chest-high snow and asking why he isn’t wearing broad-bottomed snow shoes that trekkers wear when they move cross country in deep snow, when those are super practical. Well it’s because he can walk on snow, duh! The whole point is to illustrate his lightfootedness and the lightfootedness of elves in general. 😂 Your “practical” suggestion would have conveyed a plodding leaden footedness, same as all the others. What is the point of that? It’s that obtuse failure of imagination, which brings the fantastical down to the mundane, which measures everything according to human practicality-when we are trying to illustrate the wonder and intrigue of them being different and NOT human-that makes ROP look jarring, immersion-breaking, and utterly point-missing.

Yes the elves showed a lot of grace when they died in the hundreds at Helm's Deep. (which by the way, was not in the book.) And the elves do use long pikes. All I'm saying is that a sword doesn't give you much reach when a horde of attackers are coming down on you.
