🙏🔥

Noted. At this point, since it's circulating so much, I didn't factor in doing that.

Thank you, my friend! You are absolutely legendary. Thank you for all the support. Your contribution helps in what I do immensely and me and the animals are forever grateful for this!🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@RLstavista If it's about the clip part, yeah, noticed it a bit late and couldn't redo it afterwards. The clip was pretty low to begin with, but yeah, should have noticed it sooner

Wooooooooow😮😮😮😮. I literally have no words, Legend! This is surreal🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

You say I'm a 'lore purist' yet I intentionally did not mention the lore as one of the three main issues with the show. To me this speaks that you did not in fact watch the video and only assumed what I was going to say, and you did so wrongly. The Trilogy also compressed events, however when it is done, it needs to be done smart. In the case of RoP, that could have been fixed and done better, had there been about 4 more episodes per each season. If you remember the older TV shows, that took their time and had 16-24 episodes per season, that's how it should be, especially with so much story to tell. *your

@@LuisNunes-ps4sl also a viable option. Agreed 🤝

@@erikred8217 It's brilliant, if adapted faithfully and with respect to them, like the Trilogy. The Second Age is a very packed time as a whole.

The books are one of the greatest works of all time, THE genre defining fantasy novels, no ifs, ands or but. Amazon went in DELIBERATELY to twist and desecrate those works and got shat on for it.

@@LuisNunes-ps4sl yep

@@DiscussThing I was kidding son. Tolkien was a master and a mystic, and deserves to be a saint. The war mongers are some of the fools behind the twisting of his works. life on the farm. He tried to tell us.

If the showrunners decide to continue making it, there will always be some people to watch it. However, the number drops are evidence that more and more people are being frustrated with the direction of the lore. If they get their pacing and passion points right, they might get some of those people back, but that won't fix the lore desecration. The best option in the long run would be a redo, more faithful to the lore, and with more attention to detail, without trying to rush it. It will show the fandom, that criticism is heard and that people's opinions matter. That, of course is a very fantastical scenario, and they'll probably continue down the same road, and we won't be seeing any faithful representation of Tolkien's Second Age, nor the First, anytime soon.

Surpassing the films 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@LuisNunes-ps4slwhat are you trying to convey here?

@@himmelektronik what do you think a rolling on the floor laughing emoji means?

@@DiscussThing a drop to 75 mil viewers is not really something that’d raise any alarm bells anywhere. And besides, a large chunk of that 150 mil viewers of S1 were amassed well after the corresponding time of this survey took place. I’m not trying to defend anything other than a sounding reminder that statistics are volatile and can strengthen many different standpoints, often at the same time. The lore issue I get. I guess it comes down to where we all individually draw the proverbial line in the sand, and how many redeeming qualities we deem enough to forgive any possible transgressions. Yeah, it’s a pretty fantastical scenario. If this show were to get cancelled - which I still firmly believe it won’t - it would send a message to virtually any major studio across the globe that a LotR show that isn’t set during the events of LotR is never going to succeed. It wasn’t even considered a good business move before RoP, but Bezos wanted it made, and moved mountains (to him mere pebbles I guess) to get to do so. But as the shop has sailed - for better or worse - there will not be anything in the SÅ in a long time. We’d get a history channel mini series at best, and even that’s generous. I thought the show improved a great deal in season 2, especially in areas that were lacking last season and towards which much criticism had been made. So I see no real reason to believe that season 3 wouldn’t follow the same pattern and they aren’t listening to honest, good-faith criticism and learning from their mistakes. Eh it’s not flawless. But what is

And if you like it, that's great. It's good that you enjoy it, no one can dismiss that.

@@eleonora6980 It's not hate. It's criticism. And loving it is also good, if you're into what is shown.

Because conceptually, at it's core, it does very poor job at adapting the work and motives of Tolkien. If I don't think about the source material and only judge the show as it is, it's decent, even tough it has it's problems, but as an adaptation of already written albeit very barebones material, it fails on so many levels.

@@Metaron i think that's fair. I didn't like it at first because of the changes and liberties they took creatively. I guess that changed for me when I put that aside.

@@DiscussThing fair

The movies weren't great because they glorified war as a solution where Tolkien described it as a horrific symptom of greater sickness. People hate this dog compost because it's using his name as a cash grab and promoting the most shallow of divisions it can. See Cleopatra. It's antithetical to the creators original clearly described views and principals. Why lives around there somewhere. but you must have a good time in life. A forgiving fantasy fan has much to choose from. Sci fi too.

@@jarrydharris1016 true. And the issues I mentioned only solidified the failure. Otherwise, at least it would have had a good visual factor to it. Tolkien for toddlers sounds awesome!

@@RoseluckSerendipity-x2h thank you for both. And yeah, I never expect a ton of views, being small and all, but I do this to express what I feel and I appreciate every sub, like and comment🔥

@@DiscussThing :) I might not be the best fan, i'm currently tripping over the global "To fight racism we use racism thing!" so ... i've cloaked myself into racism to .. yanno, protect the one race everyone seems to want extint...

@@RoseluckSerendipity-x2h I understand. Although I am not like that, I can definitely get that.

keep doing that chief

@@SquaulDuNeant oh well. Fingers crossed

people with large social media network needs to share this

@@Trsh65 Thank you. I do hope they do!

Agreed and same. The show is great. Does it have faults? Of course, but its still a great show and I am really missing watching a new episode of ROP today. People like Helzo just think hating on something makes them cool and edgy. They think being a critic makes them an expert because to think something good is bad must mean you are seeing something others are not. To me, people like Helzo come across as miserable people

Nah, very happy, actually.

@@YasenStoichkov The old videos really didn't go well sometimes 😅

@@lordfreerealestate8302 Thanks! Surprisingly they fit extremely well.

@@lm7338 That would be cool, if the lore didn't specifically describe thst the dwarves would awaken the Balrog in the third age, thus making it completely pointless. If nothing else, if this scene was even remotely considered canonical, it would make the dwarves the dumbest race of all, because there were witnesses to what happened and the story would be known throughout the future generations. All of this is without mentioning that it would take A LOT more than a dwarf with an axe to even damage a Balrog.

@@DiscussThing It doesn't need to follow the book, because then it would be just that.. the book. We know it wouldn't work. So you gotta see it for what it is, adaptation. One can look at it as fanfic, as an in universe legend or whatever. As for the last statement.. Possibly that he did it out of shame /to preserve honor after realizing he had been blinded by the ring. Along with thinking it might buy his son time to survive ( it seemed to have buried it or at least closed it off).

@@lm7338 P's trilogy didn't follow the book to the letter, however it was following the general story, important events and the progression faithfully. There's a difference between minor changes within the main storyline and changing the written lore altogether. As for why he did it and if the Balrog is buried, it still doesn't account for the knowledge that the Balrog exists and why he was uncovered (dug too greedily and too deeply). Still, if done better, and without LOTR it could have been a decent series and if there are people who like it, good for them.

@@DiscussThing And that's the thing, there is no set "story" yet. The lore has also been warped and twisted in LOTR, so holding ROP to both standards is impossible.

@@GmZorZ not true. The lore is set, detailed and with dates, key events, continuity and so on. Like I said previously - there is a difference between changing minor things that do not have an effect on the overall story, its progression, continuity and outcome, like the Trilogy, and changing the story altogether, making up protagonists, moving key events in time, changing continuity and character background, like RoP.

@@jonpate6129 I truly don't think Tolkien would agree, as it is goes wholly against what he said regarding adaptations. I would agree, that it can be watchable, if it was tinkered with and The Lord Of The Rings name was taken out of it. In my reviews I tried really hard to stay away from the lore comparisons, focusing as much as I can on what the series is on its own, and to be honest it's not good. Pacing, dialogue, character development - they are truly lacking.

It's okay for you to enjoy it, I'm happy you did. But people are also allowed to have critical opinions of it. But IMO fans deserved a better series than this. Tolkien's work deserved a better adaption than this. If we push for better media, art benefits from that. It all felt like a shameless corporate cash grab by people who did not understand or respect fantasy as a genre. Not stemming from a place of creativity or passion for the material.

@@lordfreerealestate8302Seemed pretty creative to me. That’s entirely subjective. And let’s get real…everything is a cash grab. Nobody does anything for free. Including you or me.

@@mechacosi1856 yep. And if a company does not hire those 'consultants'.... Well we've seen the attacks and we know what SBI's CEO openly said at a press conference.

also just anted to say "specialized" is kind of a big word for those "workers"

@@mechacosi1856 exactly. The sad thing is that, as with a lot of other terms, the DEI has been taken out of context and nitpicked into serving an agenda, which perverts the origins of it. Today the term is associated with basically a bad product and a desecration of either lore, characters and the defilement of what could be a good story, and rightfully so, because it is presented as DEI.

@@mcusta saying 'special ed' people was intended as a comedic and generally descriptive addition, as depicted in many formats, in order to depict the state of the show. It does not in any way imply that I think special ed people are incapable and I would actually agree with you, that they will do their very best, and make something better than the pile of shit that is RoP. I am sorry to hear you took my wording in such a way, however Ido not have the habit of censoring myself as I believe everyone has the freedom to use the language they think would describe a situation in the best way possible, rather than twist their tongues in the search for the right words.

you literally can't make any single analogy today, because someone, somewhere gets offended

Retarded comment

@@DiscussThing "I'm sorry you took my comment to mean exactly what I am about to explain it meant." What a shit non apology. This is the first video I've seen of yours, and will probably be the last after reading this comment. Do you even know what "special ed" means? Just because a person is in a special education class does not necessarily mean they're stupid or even lacking in most areas. It means they have a specific deficit for a particular type of learning and require a more specialized learning plan. By making excuses and doubling down on your ignorance you make yourself seem like a person that refuses to better themselves, or refuses to learn, which is ironic considering your use of special education as a punching bag.

@@DiscussThing yeh I get the comedy aspect and don't generally mind, or get offended at all. I dunno, it just annoyed me to compare an actual developmental disability that affects a person's whole life, with basic incompetence and stupidity. Thanks for getting back to me though.
