Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power review of Season 2 Episode 4, Amazon Prime videos most expensive adaptation can't keep to the lore. Despite telling the audience that Orcs being humanised are actually just Tolkien's lore. We also introduce Tom Bombadil and entirely change his personality and motivations, which as a by product turns him evil. On top of that having Gandalf be named after a tree, harfoots meet stoors in a desert rather than a river. Wizards before there were any and Sauron being simultaneously all powerful across the continent while also unable to beat 5 orcs in a fight. This entire series is bizarre, including the accents. But what do you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

The Stoors came from beyond the sea of Rhûn and only arrived in the Anduin around the middle of the Third Age. It’s definitely plausible that they lived in Rhun during this time. Also, they are true to the fact that Tom stays out of the affairs of Middle Earth and that tree reminds me of Old Man Willow. Sure the show isn’t perfect, but just crapping on it for clicks isn’t the right way to go about it either

For those in the back who don't know─ the Maiar sent five wizards to Middle-Earth specifically to help the people defeat Sauron. These five wizards knew exactly what they were doing, who each other were, and how to use their powers. In fact, they wouldn't be allowed to return unless they finished their task (which is why they yeeted Gandalf's dead ass back to Middle-Earth after he was killed fighting the balrog). RoP seems to assume that wizards just randomly fell from the sky like infants and some of them decided to pick up arms and fight Sauron for whatever reason.

there's twisting of detail to make a story play better on the screen like Eomer riding to Theoden's rescue at Helm's Deep instead of a minor character like Erkenbrand then there's ROP just absolutely breaking the story to pieces. With the former, the main details of the story are unchanged - the king saved at the last minute and Saruman's army destroyed. With the latter, Tolkien gave us in the story and appendices the reasons Barrow-wights existed. It gave them a more grounded reality instead of just some nameless kingdom of men who for some reason also had a Barrow-wight infestation.

@@Jrdn357 The Sun and Moon didn't exist in Arda (the setting of Lord of The Rings) for its first several hundred thousand years. The Ainur (angelic spirits like Sauron and Gandalf) predate the existence of the universe, as they helped create it. Incidentally, an elf of Galadriel's age would also be older than the Sun, as she was born in the later Age of The Trees. To make a very long story short, the Sun and Moon were created from a fruit and flower of the Trees of Valinor, Laurelin and Telperion, respectively. These are the titular trees of the Age of The Trees, and were the light sources for Valinor (essentially Heaven). They were killed by Morgoth, the Bigger Bad of the entire story, plunging the world into total darkness until the Valar created the Sun and Moon as an imperfect replacement.

Galadriel's fight with the orcs is the worst choreographed fight I've seen. She sets two orcs on fire right next to a horse, that doesn't even flinch, she jumps onto the horse by running right next to an orc with a sword who is holding onto the horse's reins, but does nothing. She then fights multiple orcs while on the horse, still just standing there btw, but the orcs all seemed to forget that they had bows and could just shoot her. And to top it all off, the lantern that she explodes with an arrow (why on earth would she think it would do that?) she grabbed with her bare hand but it did nothing to her. The whole thing was just terrible.

Elves are immortal only through the passage of time, but their souls grow ever weak and weary the longer they remain in Middle-Earth - hence the ever longing to travel West to the 'Undying Lands' - named because that's where the Elves live forever. The entire plot of the Elves in lore and even in the Peter Jackson movies - is that without the Rings of Power creating pocket versions of Valinor- such as areas of Valinor like purity in Rivendell and Lothlorien - the 'times of the Elves' will be over and they must sail West. I mean...this is literally the premise of the entire LOTR Peter Jackson trilogy, with a major storyline focused on the Elves diminishing in power and deciding to leaving Middle Earth for good once their 'Rings of Power' become useless.

​@@luchi850 Sure, but it still takes a long time. Mirkwood doesn't have a Great Ring and those elves were still kicking in the 3rd Age. Arguably out of sheer necessity given the constant threat coming from Dol Guldur. Those elves are obviously younger than the ones who lived in Valinor, but the original point stands.

I have to be honest, I wasn't sure in season 1 but Robert Aramayo's casting as Elrond is probs one of my favourite things in the show now. It does feel like the writers have accidentally managed to put him onto a half-decent character arc, from poet and diplomat, to the warrior and general we see in the Last Alliance. I don't know, I guess they could still ruin it, but...thus far in season 2, Elrond is cooking. It just makes me think Elrond should've been the protagonist of this story, and Galadriel in a supporting role.

Galadriel isn't a Mary Sue. Mary Sue characters do everything perfectly, everyone loves them, and never messes up. Galadriel messes up constantly, gaslights people into thinking she didn't, and nobody likes her. Her only real advantage is that the writers make every other character in the show believe the bullshit she says.
@ssharp755
@ssharp755 Ай бұрын
You underestimate the writers, they are SO bad that they manage to portray their 'Mary Sue' intended character that poorly! Also, note that the universe ultimately always bends to make her every mistake impactless on her own life or an impact that lasts only long enough to portray her as a nobly intended victim of fate who bears her burden stoically - before she moves straight back into the girlbossing and being ultimately vindicated in the writers eyes... Remember, she CREATED Sauron as a threat, then failed to inform others of the critical details of who they involved with the creation of the elven rings PURELY out of self involved ego.... by rights she should be cast out of all positions of counsel & authority in utter disgrace and yet, the only price she faces is some passive agressive jibes from the High king and Elrond, being placed under Elronds command (and then having every decision he makes contrary to her suggestions cause calamity) and even whilst her every action to that point makes her appear unworthy is uncontestedly rewarded with a ring of power... just because. If you don't think the character remains a mary sue (authors inserted ICON character) just because legalistically speaking she isn't PERFECT in every instance... you really don't know what you're describing. The term has come to encompass far more than one Star Trek fan-fiction writers erotic daydream self insert into a TV series.

As much as everyone hates on this version of Galadriel who is not even worthy of the name (and I'm right there with them), I think the character assassination that I can least forgive in this show is Celebrimbor's. Celebrimbor was a brilliant smith who vehemently did not want to repeat the mistakes of his father and grandfather, and Sauron twisted that and used it against him. It was tragic, and Celebrimbor's attempt to make it right, even though he ultimately failed and died for it, was heroic. This Celebrimbor is an incompetent moron with no skill, no ingenuity, and no resolve. It's disgusting.

23:12 There are few details in the books, but it seems that Sauron's infiltration among the elves was a complete success because Sauron was so *smart* and skilled, he studied the minds and deep desires of the elves so well, that Sauron never had the need to use lethal force to get his tactical goals: to take the High King out of the game and to take over the Smith's Guild of Eregion, before the forging of the One Ring. Sauron was so smart and smooth in that moment that Gil-Galad and Galadriel chose to respect Celebrimbor's decision of sheltering Annatar in Eregion, even though the High King and Lady Galadriel did not agree with Celebrimbor and stated clearly their distrust. Or at least they decided not to take authoritarian measures to stop Annatar and Celebrimbor. Sauron let the "spooky" stuff, inside the kingdom of Gil-Galad, to start happening to the very *last* moment, when all of the other rings were already finished. Amaz°n is distorting the geography of Middle Earth, its history, integrity, complexity, role and intelligence of the characters, distorting the logic sequence of events designed by Tolkien himself (a sequence clearly available in the source material licensed to Am4z°n), they are copy-pasting the passages from the 1st book of the Fellowship of the Ring that PJ never used, just for the sake of creating tension and conflict, tension and conflict that feels really fake. Sauron in the books, when dealing with the elves as Annatar, was a real smooth chess player. Am4z°n didn't get that.

Sauron is the character that when Ar-Pharazon (who in the book is like Alexander the Great chad-level of competency) marched the might of numernor to Mordor, Sauron realized he could not win even with the One Ring. so he surrenders. Within 10 years, he has the Numenorians worshiping Morgoth (his old boss) with human sacrifices and is Ar-Pharazon's right-hand man. He gets Ar-Pharazon to invade Valinor to claim immortality and throw down the other gods. Tell me if either show Sauron or show Ar-Pharazon will at all live up to that. The whole Fall of Numernor could be its own five season show with all the Game Of Thrones stuff Amazon wanted.

Yeah, Morgoth wanted to ruin Arda out of being disgruntled over the fact that he didn't have the Fire to create life. Sauron joined up because he hated disorder and chaos, and thought that he could make Arda nice and orderly by forcing everyone to do what he wanted. But each time he was vanquished and came back he forgets his good intentions more. It's funny that he can't really be killed, after the ring is destroyed in Mt Doom, he's just a powerless mental presence that can't do anything, but can't stop existing, either.

Tips that every writer should know. - If a story element achieves no growth or plot progression... YEET IT - Side plot points must interweave with the overall narrative or you guessed it... YEET IT - A story is not reality, attempting to put in mundane things will make a mundane story... be fast and precise. There is a reason not even Tolkien tells how many times every one of his characters had to crouch behind a bush to take a shit. - A story must never confuse bs pseudo intelligent arguments for actual character revelations... Hello ROP Dialogue... do you know why a cat lands on all fours while a dog can not? OMG ITS NOT A REVELATION! - Character logic and personality does not remove them of common sense. If there's an easy to see solution, every character will take it unless they have good reason not to. In ROP common sense rolled over, died from drinking too much, was than kicked down a hill before getting revived into a soggy spaghetti monster. - Character relationships are dynamic, changing with every plot beat. Why does Gil-Galad trust Elrond and Galadriel to even face Sauron? Not even taking in the fact that they've both went against their king several times now but Sauron is a demi-god, they know this. What are these two going to do when they get to Eregion? Ask him nicely to stop? THERE IS A REASON ELVES NEEDED ARMIES!

The barrow wight scene is so badly done. Galadriel who is supposed to be such a great warrior snaps a twig while walking up behind an Elf who is watching the hole where the barrow wights hide. Then, that Elf is pulled into the hole. He's about 50 yards away, at least, when ensnared by the barrow wight but that doesn't stop Galadriel from standing about a meter away from the hole and then dropping her guard and even turning her back on the hole during a brief respite in the fight. She is the only one who knows they're barrow wights. She speaks with such authority, but has not clue that her weapons won't harm them. This show is incredibly stu pid, with the dumbest characters in existence.

It's how stupid people write smart characters. This show is hopeless. It's so damned BORING, filled with characters I don't care about or even like, and a plot best described as "meandering". I'm sick of GirlBoss Galadriel.

The Barrow-wights began appearing in the Barrow-downs after the Dúnedain of Cardolan succumbed to the ravages of the Great Plague. In roughly Third Age 1409, evil spirits were sent by the Witch-king of Angmar, who wished to keep the Dúnedain from resettling the region. So there are no such things as barrow wights in the Second Age. The reference to Westernesse, applies to Numenor when the island disappeared under a gigantic wave sent by Eru Iluvatar after Ar Pharazôn went to Valinor to wage war on the Valar and gain immortality, because Sauron told the king that the Valar gatekeep the immortality. He said immortality would be theirs if they waged war on the Blessed Realm. Westernesse in literature is another name for Atlantis. The first, second and third ages are completely mixed up with one another. Barrow Wights and Balrogs are appearing before the Khazad-dûm and prior to the fall of Numenor. None of this makes any sense. I Iiterally had to stop watching this episode. I've been reading Tolkien's work since I was twenty, fifty three years in fact and I am finding this travesty very upsetting. 😢

I'm not outraged about this series anymore. It's just... sad. They're so desperate to have convincing characters, a good plot, artful worldbuliding, something, anything that lives up to the original or the Jackson movies. But they can't make it themselves. The only thing they know is to put jangly keys before their audience. "Remember Tom Bombadil? Remember Gandalf? Remember the verse on the One Ring? Wow! So nostalgic!" But every time they do this, they lose more goodwill from people who remember these things and can plainly see the modern versions are not up to par. They know this, it eats away at them, and they're powerless to do anything else because they've been picked to helm something far beyond their creative capabilities.

They also lose goodwill because their key-jangling is done in a way that destroys the lore, and Tolkien fans know their lore. I don't know if they just can't figure out a way to fix the order of the rings or if they're pretending that it doesn't matter, but the fact that they couldn't even get the order of the rings right made me lose any hope that they could make this show any good. They could have just watched the 5-minute prologue in Fellowship of the Ring and they would have known the order!

Not to mention warping the geography, Mordor is FAR to the South & West of Eregion, this army has crossed the entire plains of what would become Rohan and presumably hooked around the bottom of the misty mountains...or even more improbably come around from the north (because there's no other way Elronds party would 'intercept' them) all of this without any word of a massed formation of orcs spreading before them? That and Elrond's party have somehow diverted PAST Eregion in order to be in a position to intercept this incoming force... not to mention that travelling on foot (or even by horse) to Eregion from Lindon is far less efficient (and safe) than setting sail around the southern coast and up a very conveniently navigable river right to their gates because where else do you think you set up your capital than on such a transportation promoting position.....

So I live in St. Paul, Minnesota - Tom Bombadil is unintentionally hilarious to me with that accent because of this: Tom Bombadil and his Cornish voice... I can't breathe! (Think hysterical laughing emojis) I'm only 9 minutes in - I won't survive He's literally Max in the 'Harper's Locket' episode of "The Goes Wrong Show"!! A British comedy series vastly superior to Rings of Power. KZbin recently paywalled the 1st season, but Dailymotion has the episodes. The movies 'Peter Pan Goes Wrong' & 'Christmas Carol Goes Wrong' are still free on KZbin. I highly recommend for genuine high quality entertainment.
