The part where Sauron says “Frodo, I am your father” and then Frodo said he identifies as an orc gave me chills

The part where Gandalf pulls out the sub machine gun and says to the orcs ‘say hello to my little friend’ was truly breathtaking Tolkien could not have wrote it better.

When the Real Slim Sauron started rapping "One Ring to Rule Them All," I felt that. Can't wait to see the true adaptation of J.K. Tolkien's Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Galadriel standing up in the back of the jeep taking her sunglasses off staring at a field of Brachiosaurus and doctor Malcom standing behind her saying “life finds a way” straight gold…. cant wait

When Bilbo yelled repeatedly "Heeector" to challenge him for battle and Captain Jack Sparrow stepped outside the gates... that was an incredible moment. Absolutely insane acting and plot twist. 5/7 writing.

The part where Kylo Ren tells Sauron that his parents were nobodies, but then Rocky Balboa swings into frame and declares “I pity the fool!” and BAM! the theme song to Murder She Wrote just starts blasting… *Chills*

When Elrond said: "You hear that Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability It is the sound of your death Good bye, Mr. Anderson." Chills literal chills

It was truly breathtaking to see Geralt finally gathering all Infinity Stones!

Tears flowed from my eyes like the waters of Bruinen when Galadriel said, "Give it up Sauron! I have the high ground!" And Sauron answered, "My spidey senses are tingling!" Just wow. Truly a love letter to Tolkien and his fans.

That part where Boromir stands his ground with three arrows in his chest and exclaims, “I can do this all day!” Chills!

The post credit scene that revealed baby Gandalf was truly epic. Can’t wait to see what adventures he goes on in the next season. Truly a show that exists.

I'd say we've solved the energy problem, as fast as Tolkien is spinning in his grave we can surely use him as the power generator of the whole world...

When Tom Bombadil goes "Frodo, I am your father" it is such a shocking and awe-inspiring moment. Not even Tolkien himself could have conceived such a sublime sequence.

Every time Treebeard says, “I am Groot”… always gets me deep in the feels - never ever gets old for me.

The way Galadriel says "Pokemon are not lesser... but other. Not worthless, but with another value. Not disposable... but with a different disposition" is truly some masterful acting and writing.

The speech female Frodo gave about Orcs lives Matter was truly breathtaking. It's about time someone brought this issues in middle earth.

The parts where Sauron says to Captain America , "Hello There" and Galdriela saying to Gerlat of Rivia , "Begun the Clone War has" sent shivers down my spine.

The part when Saruman said "Say my name" and Gandalf replied "You're Heisenberg." absolutely gave me chills! Not even Tolkien could have imagined drama this tense!

And Karendriel showed up and said "I demand to speak to your manager!" It gave me chills.

Loved the part where Galadriel said "I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a Man." And Celeborn said "I identify as paraplegic black woman."

The part where sauron says " Autobots transform" And Gandalf was stuck in Narnia drifting he's rx7 saying "family" over and over again gave me chills. 10/10 Tolkiens couldn't have wrote it better.

When Sauron told Galadriel to choose the blue pill or the red pill and she said, “You don’t need to choose a pill when you have family,” and then Gollum says, “Dude, where’s my precious,” I got literal goosebumps. It’s like Tolkien himself wrote the script.

It was breathtaking watching Galadriel finally become a jedi master just like the source material wanted

Galadriel singing “let it go” when crossing the Helcaraxë will remain the best musical scene in this production and beyond; proving the showrunners have all the potential to effortlessly surpass benioff and weiss!!!

I’m a grown man, but when Gandalf tossed Frodo his jersey and said, “Here’s lookin’ at you, kid,” I cried. I honestly cried.

The part where Jenny says to Treebeard “Run, forest, run!” was without a doubt a triumph in cinematography!

Me: “I wish this series never came out.” *crying* Gandalf: “So do all who live to see such times but that is not there’s to decide, all they can do is decide what to do with the time that is given to them” Me: Re-watches Peter Jackson’s movies and re-reads books.

Jestem rozczarowany, że hobbici nie mają skrzydeł. Tolkien nic nie pisał, że hobbici ich nie mają. To znaczy, żę hobbici mają skrzydła a w filmie nie widzę żadnych skrzydeł u hobbitów.

Sauron telling Dumbledor that "the force is strong with this one" is truly stunning.

The part where Sauron says to Gandalf "You come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to do murder for money" brought me to tears. It's so nice to see that Amazon really cares about the lore and is faithfully adapting Tolkien's work.

This was posted by someone else but was taken down. Still needs to be said: For those of you who only know the movies and are wondering why any of this outcry matters, Tolkien didn’t set out to write just another fantasy, his first love was language and mythology. As a linguist, he set out to make the most beautiful language ever created (Elvish.) He invented Elvish based on Northern European languages. As a historian, he wrote the Silmarillion and all the other extensive back lore that is only hinted at in the movies as alternate mythology for the British Isles. The very creation of Middle Earth by the gods through an act of song was informed by Finnish myths. He was steeped in Northern and Western European culture and the myths, legends, languages, stories, racial characteristics, history, and cultures of Middle Earth are inextricably built from corresponding roots of European culture in a way that no fantasy has ever been able to replicate before or since. He is considered by many of us to be the true father of modern fantasy and no one-bar none-has equaled the depth and verisimilitude he brought to that creation. This trailer and all Amazon interviews to date prove that they don’t care about any of this and intend to dismantle the very foundation of why Tolkien wrote these books as a labor of love in the first place. He loved his culture, his history, and his language and his invented languages, world, races, and stories were the medium through which he communicated his love of his ancestral heritage. To change his work in the ways shown in this trailer and subsequent interviews is not just to reinterpret some surface aspect of his stories, it is to completely undermine his stated intent, strike at the heart of his passion, and directly attack his own cultural heritage.

My favorite moment was the dialogue when Gwaihir asks the trembling Gandalf, "How many flights is that for you, wizard?" "Thirty-eight...simulated.""How many combat flights?""Two, including this one." Best Tolkien moment.

When Celebrimbor told Gil Galad “I don’t cook. I don’t clean. But let me tell you how I got this ring”. Incredible writing.

The part where Galadriel shouts "King Kong ain't got sh*t on me!" to a bunch of orcs trying to surround her while Elrond is taking the red pill from Morpheus sends chills down my spine.

Tolkien fans: You have not read The Silmarillion. Amazon: I've read enough. Tolkien fans: You have not read The Silmarillion.

When Galadriel was in the power loader protecting Frodo and she screamed to Sauron ,,get away from this non binary person you bitch!,, ..i really felt that 10/10

When Adar tells Galadriel "I am your father" is such a shocking twist, but Galadriel's epic rebuttal "I have a father, his name was Ben Parker!" is one of television's finest moments. Even Tolkien could never come up with such beautiful dialogue.

"Get to tha choppa!". Tolkien nailed it, man. Timeless one-liner, never gets old.

When the comment section is better than the trailer💀

I'm so thrilled. Hearing Sauron say "I am your father" gave me utter chills.

Galadriel waving the Master Sword, playing her ocarina and slaying storm troopers while yelling, "THIS IS SPARTA!!!" Absolute masterpiece of Tolkien's work.

It was so compelling the way Galadriel survived all that time stranded with nothing but a volleyball she named Elrond to keep her company. She even saw it through to deliver the last ring once she made it home. Really brought this story to life where Tolkien had struggled to find the words for it.

Hey Amazon, maybe I missed it but I don't think you've apologized to the fans yet. If you don't remember, let me refresh your memory: - You called the fans *ists for not liking the show - You called the fans *phobes for not liking the show - You called the fans "patently evil" for not liking the show - You deleted legitimate comments and reviews if they were negative - You delayed and rejected legitimate negative reviews on IMdB which you own - You faked the review scores by several means including through duplicate positive reviews - You banned users from the community forums without warning when they pointed out that there were fake positive reviews - You deleted user profiles of critical users and didn't allow them to sign up again in order to silence them permanently - You ignored users who contacted you about the problems and didn't even bother to reply - You lied about viewership and continually tried to manifacture stories about a succesful show even though the show is verifiably a flop Maybe you feel proud about this tyrannical behaviour. You should feel ashamed. And you owe the fans a huge apology.

When Isildur gets his chance to join the crew and sail to middle earth and he just whines "but I don't want to be a pirate!" perfect tone

Can’t forget the chills when Gandalf called Sauron and told him “That was not any wolf, that was John Wick’s wolf” and then took a sip of old moonshine, all when Frodo was playing rock paper scissor with Gollum on the other side of the table. Truly astonishing!

The part when Galadriel says to Sauron: "My name is Oberyn Martell, you killed my sister, prepare to die" was more unexpected than Spanish inquisition. It's a masterpiece we don't deserve.

I hope Galadriel stops Eminem from getting all infinity stones and becoming a slim shady

I love Yoda when says "may the force be with you" at Gladiator when he was about to fight with Lord Voldemort.

I cried so much when Harry Potter gave Gollum a sock so he could be free from Sam, saying "from my point of view, the Jedi are evil!" Tolkien would be proud of such beautiful writing and he would cry as well.

Having Dumbledore revealed as the wizard was a bold choice.

Can't wait to see Vecna casting Wingardium Leviosa with his Lightsaber against Drogon

When the black dwarf queen said "that's what I'm Tolkien about" I had a tear in my eyes.

Amazon still blocking legitimate reviews. Mine got rejected and it was nothing against the rules. Was a well written, long review of the show and they rejected it because it was negative. Wasn't a one star review either. Time to drop Amazon.

No matter how many comments and dislikes you remove, We will always remember what you did to Tolkien's legacy! Never forget, Never forgive!

The part where Hagrid rides his bike over the Sauron's eye yelling "you're a wizzard, Gandalf" as the old man turns Gollum into a seafood so that Toothless won't be hungry, that was incredible. It's a shame that Hiccup didn't make the cut, but Tolkein knew what he was doing - complex wooden leg mechanisms weren't a thing yet. Incredible historical accuracy.

That part when Boromir said "Winter is coming." absolutely floored me. Not even George R. R. Tolkien could conceive such a profound scene! Can't wait for The Rings of Winter book to come out.

The Bollywood dance number between Batman and the Joker was epic!

One does not simply "re-imagine" LOTR, attach Tolkien's name to it and then get away scott free.

I really appreciate how the showrunners are sticking close to the source material. I particularly like when Galadriel takes the ring from Sauron's hand and in her dying breath snaps her fingers exclaiming "I am Galadriel".

When Sauron said, "I should've let Stannis kill you all. I should've let him sack this city." was a truly heart-wrenching scene.

It was an interesting choice for the Elves to use M8 Armored battle tanks. Although more expensive, the T-34 Calliope battle tanks would have been more effective.

For those on mobile/or cant see the ratio: 83K Likes. 396K Dislikes. (currently) This gives me faith in humanity.

When Galadriel lit a cigar and said "I love it when a plan comes together", I got the chills. It truly was the most Tolkien thing I've ever seen!

When Sauron started singing, "If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it", I got goosebumps. Bezos' themes are truly timeless.

Seeing Balrog with a machine gun gave me chills.

-Amazon tries a cashgrab on the Tolkien franchise. -Tolkien fans: "LOL, You have no power here!"

When Galadriel turns on the elves and says "it's morbin time", proceeding to kill Legolas I almost cried. But when Jack Black shows up with the pick of destiny defeating Galadriel and reviving Legolas I broke down. What a cinematic masterpiece, Tolkien could have written this.

The part when orc had to run away from their homeland because of the discrimination against them and their families by elves and humans still brings tears to my eyes.

That is the definition of poetic justice; Amazon fires the same guy that HBO uses to make House of the Dragon a hit. :) Ryan Condal got fired by Amazon and his Conan was removed because it was considered to much masculine . Ryan Condal got hired by HBO and he made House of the Dragon. what do you think ? Poetic Justice or Irony ? :)

It went from Tolkien to Wolkien

The part where Sauron says "I'll be back", then sinks into mount doom doing an ok sign with his hand is pure gold. Tolkien could never have come up with such intricately woven text.

My favourite part is when they’re all laughing in a circle and Sauron puts his hand around all of them and says “I guess the real rings are the friends we made along the way”. Astonishing work.

An example of a TV show that exists. Definitely a thing to be aware of existing.

When Saruman shouted "wtf is happening on this comment section?!", it made me fall off my chair.

When Bilbo screamed to Gollum, “It belongs in a museum!”. Literal goosebumps. I mean how does Tolkien do it!?

The scene where Gandalf pulls out a gun and shoots sauron after saying “you get what you fucking deserve!” Truly mastered!!

I sure hope Gandalf will finally get to say: For a true wizard it’s never to late to come out of the closet my dear Frodo. Gonna be a masterpiece 😅

I'm going to start a chicken farm and name all of my chickens after the stars in this show. And I'll name my roosters after all of the producers. Then I'll film them doing chicken things. I'll name my film, The Making of the Rings of Power.

The part where Sauron speaks to the Power Rangers : "My friends. You bow to no one" makes me teary all over, truly masterpiece of all time.

"will the real sauron , please stand up, please stand up" literally had tears and literally had chills down my literal spine . Stunning and brave 💞

there should be a law that no one else does LOTR besides peter jackson.

loved how legolas in return of the king said "its elvin time" and just elved all over those orcs. hoping for something similar in the new show.

When Sauron said "The ring is literal perfection.", then Galadriel said "It will be. When it fits a woman."... I got goosebumps.

The part where harry potter put on sunglasses and said "I'll be back", then jetpacked to have tea with Darth Vader, brought me to tears. Tolkien would be so proud of how you upheld his legacy.

Amazon is blocking negative reviews. Tells you how bad this show truly is.

A lot of effort was put into this, except from the writers and the people in charge of casting.

When Galadriel bent over and farted, and Elrond exclaimed "I'd buy that for a dollar!" It was like poetry. I was witnessing a greatness not even Tolkien could achieve in his lifetime. Pure writing genius. Such talent. The billion was well spent.

*It is not just the cast and the story mutilation, Amazon (purposefully?) failed to capture the spirit that J.R.R. Tolkien built Middle-Earth upon.* Amazon managed to make the most regular cliché action show out of the masterpiece Christopher composed for us from his father's vast unpublished texts. I'm not saying Peter Jackson got it right, he portrayed maybe 70% of LotR (and 70% of the greatest fantasy world that ever existed is still mountainous, as we all witnessed) but no matter slight incongruences, he managed to convey the inimitable feeling that Tolkien's creations bear. Rings of Power look like a bad fan-fiction with budget.

I’ve cancelled my Amazon Prime and stopped buying their things since I saw their posters and trailers. Ppl could call this conservative, stubborn, and stupid. But this is my way to express my loyalty to the great artist who created my spiritual world. They deserve to be ruined.

When Sauron says "Say my name" and Galadriel answers "Heisenberg" gives me the chills every time.

When all of the hobbits came back and said “it’s Tolkien time” literally gave me goosebumps

It began with the forging of the great films. Threads were given by Tolkien, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Rights were granted to Jackson, great miner and craftsman of the mountain of lore. And nine, nine hours were gifted to the race of men, who above all else, desire quality. But they were all of them deceived, for another show was made. In the land of Amazon, in the fires of Mount Prime, the Dark Lord Bezos forged in secret a master flop. And into this show he poured his money, his greed and his will to dominate all film. One show to ruin them all.

Easily the most brutal comment section I've come across on YT since it's inception.

I loved the part where Boromir says, "On your left", and then Gandalf uses his sling ring to bring everyone from the other ages into the battle, and then Aragorn says, "Fellowship...assemble." CINEMA. GOLD.

I love this and can't wait for this series to start. Every time I see this trailer, I get butterflies in my stomach and want to vomit. What a great feeling and it raises chunks of spirits in my body!

The part where Galadriel, after being away for a while, comes back and perrforms live "Bohemian Rhapsody" with the rest of the Elves was so moving...

The part where Isildur said to Sauron: “It’s over Sauron. I have the High ground” before cutting the ring from Sauron’s finger was one of the all time great moments in cinematic history.

Show the dislikes 🤣🤣🤣🤣 magnificent, magnificent is your failure!

The pure sarcasm in this entire comment section gave me pure chills.
