The Rings of Power Botched the Actual Rings of Power

Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed the video make sure to leave a LIKE!

Nerd cookies, I really don’t understand how you do not see the genius of this show. A ship floats because it looks upward and a rock sinks because it looks downward. Good God, woman, does anything else need to be said? Can’t wait until next season, and then two more. So excited!

[@qcop4921]

Ohh learning more about rock geometry from RoP is tight!

[@jurgenparkour9337]

Best show ever😂

[@shaomike]

I quit crack because of Adar's teachings!

[@jurgenparkour9337]

[@jjlebrams4421]

The ship is always right, the rock is always wrong.

I haven't watched a single moment of this show, but i've watched every episode that you have put out there. Keep up the good work watching bad shows for all of us.

[@Mytro8533]

You know those big colored candy sucker rings you could buy as a kid.. yeah, pretty much this show.

[@SRMoore1178]

I have two huge anvils but they take up so much space. To get them out of the way I hang one above the dinner table and one above the couch. Where else am I gonna put them?

[@bjornh4664]

Are they from ACME?

[@lucianotesta5019]

Good idea, I'll do the same now

[@GreatGreebo]

I refer to the RoP Halbrand/Annatar character as SaurWRONG because there is nothing about his portrayal that is right 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thank you *Nerd Cookies*

[@IUsedToBeAnAdventurerLikeYou]

I saw a video by someone else theorizing that Adar is corrupted Celeborn and the blonde chick at the forge is Celebrian after she was raised away from her parents. I wish I could believe that they wouldn’t be so dumb, but I wouldn’t put it past them.

[@MasticinaAkicta]

... So... This show has NOTHING to do with the Lore as we know. Nothing!

[@brianmurray6287]

There's a Cayote under that anvil.

[@s13gouf60]

When the shadow of Mordor game is closer to the lore, you know you done F*cked up.

[@hungryghost3736]

On the anvil scene my mind bring to me the image and sound of the WB's roadrunner...

[@jconrad38]

You obviously never watched Warner Bros. cartoons. Anvils are supposed to drop from above unexpectedly, but they’re meant to squash someone. The fact that no one was squished is just another example of poor writing.

[@cowboyboots9901]

There was no magic or skill used to make the rings. They mixed metals then poured them.

[@shaomike]

Do they ever do any actual blacksmithing? You can't tell from the costumes.

[@majkus]

For that matter, do we ever see the Dwarves doing any crafting? Or do they just break rocks and mine?

[@johnglue1744]

The only time I remember anyone looking like a craftsman was in season 1 when Sauron stole that smithy badge or whatever it was.

[@shaomike]

@@majkus They just sing to make it happen.

[@legoseanland1760]

It has all the signs of being written by AI. They just fed it the books and movies, certainly a bit of Star Wars in this one- and it just spat out the dialogue. “Delve” is a word that’s overused by AI currently. Now notice how many times you hear “delve”

[@andrewmccall837]

Looks like they went to Jered

[@victorcates9330]

I kinda like Miridinia. She's kinda faithful and long suffering. Seems better than elves that flap about more. Manipulating her via touch is perfunctory, unless you view the Galadriel comparison as Sauron being indiscrete about his interests. He says "of course", as if she should also have Galadriel on her mind. Galadriel isn't a legendary beauty in this. But within a conception of nobility, it probably is flattering to compare someone to a high born figure. In terms of the narrative, she's likely fodder. If Sauron had been nice to her, humanized her and then pushed her out the window to make sure she doesn't blab, that would have shown a cost and stressed Sauron as loathsome. As is, the measure of her character is likely to be how they kill her off or just her being a set of eyes witnessing Sauron's manipulation of Celebrimbor. As a kid, I read 'Oliver Twist'. Nancy was a secondary character. But given that she died as a product of her virtue, I complained that the book should have been called "Nancy (and some brat)". I don't see Miridiania making it out alive, but I just want her to get an ounce of dignity. The failed ring having powers that map up to the one ring moves the plot along, if it creates problems about why the rings for man are similar enough to the one ring. Power over earth seems a plus - requiring that you can sculpt the ring for a particular purpose. So a ring that lets you see a nightmare world seems too specific to be developed as some kind of accident. Unless Sauron is meant to be experimenting on the one ring (and lying about what he's doing), it doesn't make a ton of sense.

[@Kendro311]

Wouldn't it be weird if companies producing continuations, prequels, sequels or remakes hired people that knew the IP well, or even had a passion for it?

[@whatsmolly5741]

I haven't really thought about this but what does blacksmithing have to do with jewelry? The 2 arnt comparable at all, jewelry is small precise and shiny. Blacksmithing is literally the opposite with functionality as the ultimate goal.

[@christianefiorito3204]

Espdcially since the ond ring is still not forged. Btw. Only Galadriels ring Nenya contains Mithril. All the others are of gild and some lesser rings of gold and silver.

[@PapaLoof]

literal cartoon show

[@ErikRoseJohnsen]

Because they didn't know how to make Sauron cunning and patient, they had to make everyone else somewhat flawed and naive, like humans.

[@johnbransby6231]

They did not make 9 rings for men and 7 for dwarfs, they were all made for elves. The elves took of all there rings when the one was made.Sauron captured the 16 he helped make and gave one to each dwarven kingdoms and the remaining 9 to men since he relized he would not be able to corrupt the elves

[@SenChalcolithic]

This is all LOTR move fanfic. I highly doubt the showrunners even researched the lore. They’re pissing off the wrong fandom.

[@luckyowl6432]

3:38 I thought that was a random Nameless Thing Disa woke up

[@johnglue1744]

With the amount of money spent I am not sure why most sets are sparsely populated and look so so small or why Amazon is dead set on 8 episode seasons.

[@skepticalsmurf]

for as much $$$$ that Amazon has/is investing in this project/series,l would have insisted to have full access to Mr.Tolkein’s literature,otherwise the result would be half-assed(from what l understand other entities have the rights to his other works)🤔

[@marknovak6498]

That is the order the rings are forged in the TV series, it must be based on the poem. It is not based n the story.

[@JaidynReiman]

Yeah the order in the poem has nothing to do with the order they were actually forged in. The poem was made long after they were forged as a means to explain the purpose of them. (I think the poem actually exists in universe...)

[@tk423b]

I don’t like what he’s doing to Mimaw.

[@andrewverrett568]

They literally had an entire conversation in this episode ripped of word for word star wars then the end is ripped of word for word peter Jackson's lord of the rings. The entire conversation is word for word ripped from a scene of star wars then the reply is word for word from lord of the rings. In other words the show runners have no ideas of thier own.

[@Appel79]

What a waste....with a budget like that, the original material etc.....open goal from the penalty spot....and still they missed!!!😂😂😂😂 It's like watching the muppets show (have nothing against the muppets show). 😅🙈

[@sgtpom]

Actually ignore my comments i dont want to "spoil" anything for anybody (if this can be anymore spoiled 😂)

[@michaelallen434]

Justen’s is behind the scenes manipulating everyone so they buy class rings.

[@etantife]

2:40 there isn’t anything coherent in these scenes about the rings. if you didn’t know the lore you wouldn’t even understand what was happening.

[@zoefezius6615]

For me, in this show not a damn little thing is coherent or logical. Its just this kind of bad trash TV one cant look away from, because you cant believe a human being could allow such trash to be shown. A genial tactic known for some decades now, but still working. Not to the benefit of society though, where people now are so used to trash entertainment that they wanna vote it for president again.

[@etantife]

@zoefezius6615 it's a narrative mess. It fails at nearly every aspect of story telling. It would be in the same level as that old D&D movie if it didn't have the amount of money behind it

[@RSP.95]

The characters (like Durin III.) just exist, then they put the rings on and in less then no time they are corrupted. Development? Conflict? No way! Muhahaha Cringeron is evil and bad and evil, that's it. Everything is so shallow, agonizingly boring and poorly written.

[@jurgenparkour9337]

Yeah ok but there is no time for all this so let's speed things up because BEST SHOW EVER!!!

[@majkus]

Well like everything else in this show, there is no serious attempt to portray time and distance. The Orcs could be taking _weeks_ to get to Eregion, and the Dwarf-ring may have been on Papa Durin's finger for a long time; we have no way of telling.

[@RSP.95]

@@majkus Logic in Rings of Cringe: *Cringeron trespasses Mordor's border* -> Elves know it immediately because of "spies" *huge Orc army with heavy war machinery moves through Elvish territory to attack Eregion* -> no one cares because Adar activated the stealth mode so no one (not even the Guyladriator) can sense their presence

[@RobAryeeArc]

7:29 "...One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness, bind them. In the land of Mordor, where shadows lie."

[@VinceGarrido]

The first 5 minutes of peter jackson's fellowship of the ring is astronomically better than every single second of this bs show.

[@lordfreerealestate8302]

The designs of the rings look like they came from the dollar store. No, I've seen better looking rings at the dollar store. When I first saw them, I laughed so hard my sides hurt and I couldn't breathe. 😂😂😂😂😂You had a billion dollar budget, and you made the rings look like plastic 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
