The most action Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power packed episode that STILL managed to mess up a load of stuff, give an origin story to Mount Doom and the timeline makes NO SENSE. But what did you think of what you saw, or of the parts from the review? Let me know your thoughts below and as always, thanks for watching :)

[@toddtaylor6506]

They really do have no concept of time passage in this series. Who tells these people at what time they should do things in life? They clearly have no idea how to figure it out.

[@jennyjustjenny7634]

First they came for the lore and now they come for real life physics.

[@clogs4956]

Tower falling - metal and bricks and fire crashing down - and one blackguard Elf stands there calculating the trajectory of every piece? The writers' grasp of physics is about the same as their grasp of time, plot, conversation, military strategy and bladed weapon skills.

J.R.R. Tolkien spent his entire adult life meticulously constructing the people, places and lore of Middle Earth. A complex, explicitly defined world as intricate and unique as any real world. This show’s writers approached this magnum opus with haste and disregard. And, the result is a flaccid attempt that has less forethought than a daytime soap opera. What a shame…a literary and artistic crime, really.

"Commander of the Northern Army" There were originally thousands of elves in the Northern Army, but in the course of centuries of Galadriel's command, all but a handful of the elves fell off cliffs, got left behind in swamps and blizzards, starved, or got chopped up by trolls while Galadriel watched idly for a bit before casually defeating the enemy.

If Overlord DVD's rumors are to be believed, they very likely have 'scrapbooked' the whole series, much as they clearly have with She-Hulk, which would explain why there is such an outrageously enormous budget for the series as a whole, and for each episode, with so many corners being cut where we can see them. Copy-pasted extras, print-on T-shirts instead of armor, 3-D printed foam painted to look like armor for actors and horses, and the general lack of polish. Having to film 3+ completely different versions of every scene HAS to be expensive.

[@Dystisis]

that's the point though. tolkien described the first/second age galadriel as proud and desiring to reign her own land/empire. she was banned from entering valinor due to her pride. so that's why she says "i passed the test, i will return to the west/valinor and remain galadriel" when she manages to reject the ring in the third age.

[@Wraithspartan]

@@Dystisis Pretty sure she wasn't banned, but rather chose to remain. The test was acceptance or rejection of the Ring and Sauron's power contained within, and was essentially a 3rd Age thing only (I.e., not connected to the ambition that brought her to Middle-Earth in the first place).

Well Morgoth didn’t create Balrogs at least in Tolkiens final concepts of middle earth they were lesser Maiar who tuned in with Melkors alternating melody of the Ainulindale and manufested as fire spirits in Arda. After they officially joined Melkor they remanifested as Balrogs. We often see the concept that weaker, less physical ancient beings automatically shapeshift in a form which mirrors their character and the appearance of a Balrog is a pretty good depiction of a fire spirit who turns evil. Despite there are older concepts were it’s mentioned that Morgoth created the Balrogs it was later cancelled, because indeed evil should not be able to create something. If Melkor was able to somehow „multiply“ them and their total number is unclear and controversial. I personally prefer the idea that if they increased in number at one point that just more fire spirits officially converted to him in Arda Its pretty much the concept of melkor being Lucifer the archangel and Balrogs are fallen angels which joined him and became demons after loosing their wings and after the fall Btw Gandalf or Olorin is also a Maia and fought his own evil kin in Moria The term lesser Maia at balrogs is probably not referred to as being less powerful but less intelligent or having less character strenght But it’s also not really clear how the Istari were ranked within maiars but i don’t think they belong to the most powerful in terms of raw battle power if we take a look at sauron also a maiar I know it’s completely unclear but i think tom bombadil is an example of a top tier maiar Dragons are also most likely not created by Morgoth at least not completely out of thin air. We don’t know their origin, except that Glaurung was the father of all dragons.

[@choreomaniac]

They made the same mistake as Force Awakens. Once you humanize the orcs or stormtroopers, and build up audience sympathy, hour heroes now look like unfeeling psychopaths when they kill hordes of these enemies. And this is worse since there is a hint that these orcs are displaced refugees. Are we supposed to be on the side of those killing displaced immigrants just looking for a new home? Once we found out stormtroopers are brainwashed child soldiers, Rey shouting with glee when shooting them down makes her into a murderous oaf and Fin into some sort of psycho with no thought that he is killing his friends.

[@dronesclubhighjinks]

This is an excellent observation and makes me wonder whether the writers and producers, etc. are aware of it? Maybe they are trying to send the message that everyone is morally ambiguous and there are no real good guys or bad guys.

[@choreomaniac]

@@dronesclubhighjinks maybe. But they really seemed to try to make Rey and Galadriel perfect and moral with music cues, dialogue and lighting, and camera angles. So either they are undermining their message that no one is all good or bad or they didn’t realize the consequences of their writing.

[@choreomaniac]

We have Galadriel ruthlessly killing orcs for hundreds of years with no mercy. Yet they try to show she is heroic AND the orcs are not that evil. Or that hard to kill. So instead of killing terrifying forces of great evil and overwhelming strength, Galadriel has been murdering morally ambiguous orcs that untrained farmers and housewives can overwhelm. That would be like making the Witch King a family man and get tricked by babies in a scene before Eowyn kills him. Kinda defeats the purpose.

[@TankHunter678]

The thing is the stormtroopers could be humanized because well... they are humans underneath the armor. Even in Legends they were humanized where you got stories like the one where a boy became a stromtrooper because his father got killed in a battle by rebels only for himself to later get killed by a kid who had picked up the rifle of the father that the stormtrooper had just killed in a firefight with rebels. The problem is when you take a character who was once on the side of the stromtroopers and have them instantly act like a generic rebel who is savoring satisfying his blood lust by killing stormtroopers en mass. That undermines the whole "stormtroopers are people too" and completely undermine your characters doing that. Orcs though? You cannot humanize those. In Tolkien's world pure good and pure evil actually exists, and orcs are pure evil creations. They are monstrous monsters who find people tasty and have no qualms about cannibalism.

No, it's far more cunning. As Ardar said, Galadriel is evil as f*ck. And as we learned from her in the first episode, evil inhibits fire to burn. So it will turn out that Galadriel is so evil the pyroclastic stream will turn into a normal cloud of dust and rocks, and as an elv she can easily avoid being hit by any of those thousands of rocks tumbling down with great speed. And you will be stunned by the final revelation that Galadriel planned it exactly this way: that she nurtured the evil inside her to protect her against fire.
