It's giving me that horrible sinking feeling you get when you see your neighborhood get grazed over and gentrified, like there's not much you can do about it but it makes you wanna not look at it anymore.

Take heart and join us for our just released third installment of EXSURGE TOLKIEN that makes robustly clear the heresy of Tolkien's Canon displayed out of the showrunner's mouths and hearts. They probably know nothing of Tolkien's masterpiece, as evident from their interview in the Vanity Fair Article. For "they who proclaim to loveth Tolkien, yet understandeth, not his world view can neither hope to create a new film, show, or series of his secondary world." "Auta i lóme!" and" Aurë entuluva!"

Episode 7 has doubled down on bargain-brand callbacks to the Lord of the Rings movies: hiding from orcs is the new hiding from black riders, horse doesn’t want to go home is the new Brego (he’s even called Berek), Halbrand’s wound is the new morgul blade, etc. When they aren’t ripping off the Peter Jackson movies, they completely tear up the existing story where Galadriel is 3000+ years old, has a husband and daughter, has studied magic with a literal angel, and has gifts of foresight and prophecy. Yet she couldn’t keep track of the blade/key that would doom an entire region. She’s definitely worth spending an entire ring on when they do start making rings of power, if she’s not too busy with her Halbrand/Celeborn love triangle that they are going to force into the story.

@@joshjones6072 Indeed-bad sequels/prequels just imitate the original, they don’t elevate the story. If they wanted to make a show that would have been a gritty game-of-thrones style, they could have gone with the downfall of Arnor, split amongst three warring brothers and the Witch-King of Angmar. Lots of great opportunities for storytelling and they have the rights to it. Instead, we are being given dollar-store rejects of the Akallabeth, which Amazon doesn’t have the rights to. How are they going to show the downfall of Numenor without showing the downfall of Numenor? It’s ironic that they chose the second age-the age of man’s hubris, his certitude in his own superiority and the absolute apocalypse that men bring down upon themselves and middle earth due to their own short sightedness. That’s ironically exactly what the show is doing, although they don’t have the wit to realize it.

@TheLyricalCleric2 жыл бұрын
@@OptimusSublyme As much as I want to believe the pain will soon be over, I know in my heart that the showrunners don’t have a motivation for Galadriel. She’s their Captain Marvel, the appeasement by aging white male executives who are hoping to capture “the women demographic” without actually bothering to make a character. And this is in a season with Disa, who is a devoted wife and strong communicator! But Galadriel is a bad wife and mother who isn’t even looking for her husband’s body or presumably taking care of their daughter Celebrian, whom Elrond is supposed to marry! The only real motivation she has is in relation to the men in her life: Sauron, Halbrand, Celeborn, etc. She can only either love or hate these men, because anything else would require her to have wants and desires of her own. She can’t have that or the central tension of the entire plot falls apart-like, who cares if Sauron comes back? Some piddly Maia, like Galadriel hasn’t literally been chilling with Melian the Maia for hundreds of years learning protective healing and shrouding magic to keep her realm secret and increase her magical foresight. Who am I kidding-the showrunners made Galadriel into Bella Swan, and they just need to slot in a darkly handsome Edward Cullen. If Halbrand goes bad, even odds that Galadriel defends him and falls in love with him, just so that later she can be betrayed when he is Sauron and she must hate him. But also love him! But also hate him! But also…

Impressed at how fast your produce these. Consistently improving and funny. Elrond time out in baby doorway jumper is amazing. Boromir getting everyone sick with his cold really adds a theme that correlates and explains their wardrobe and surroundings. Keep up all the good work. I can't wait until the next one!

A volcanic eruption is probably worse than getting attack by Smaug, but somehow they manage to survive a close proximity pyroclastic flow 😂

It is said to be written in ancient Elven runes that as Gandalf's face gets better looking every episode, Thorin's face, well... 9:56

One thing I am genuinely grateful when it comes to RoP is the high quality roasting it has inspired to some youtubers. This channel is the best remedy there is after you've been poisoned by the unfathomable mediocrity of Amazon's billion dollars plague.

My god, I'm so happy Amazon made this show. This series is a treat. Somehow almost makes it all worth it. Almost.
