"It began with the forging of the great films. Threads were given by Tolkien, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Rights were granted to Jackson, great miner and craftsman of the mountain of lore. And nine, nine hours were gifted to the race of Men who, above all else, desire quality. But they were all of them deceived, for another show was made. In the land of Amazon, in the fires of Mount Prime, the Dark Lord Bezos forged in secret a master flop. And into this show he poured his money, his greed and his will to dominate all film. One show to ruin them all."

One by one, the free lore of Middle-Earth fell to the power of the Writers, but there were some who resisted. A last alliance of men and KZbinrs marched against the armies of the media, and on the very slopes of The Review Section, they fought for the freedom of Tolkien.

A tiny raiding party of Númenóreans and one elf save a small group of peasants who were hiding in an old watch tower. What an epic story.

[@CybFrog]

I actually feel the various storylines all have potential. Even THAT could've worked. But the show doesn't get nearly enough out its ideas (i.e. it's boring), and the characters are far from being compelling enough to make up for it (i.e. even more boredom). So the end result is lacking. I'm not deep into the lore, so I don't get worked up over armor-clad Galadriel (she looks pretty cool). But I do see the wasted potential. It's undeniably a failure.

[@pinkkfloydd]

Arondir plot - Everyone is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Orcs and hinting that they've done something clever to prepare for the attack. "Will it work?" "It has to work." "But what if it doesn't work?" Nori plot - Malva now loves Slamdalf because he saved her, but still wants to leave Nori's family behind for some unexplained reason.

My issue with saying something like this is the implication that Tolkien's work is actually tarnished by this. But it's not really, all they are really mocking and twisting is a picture, not the actual thing. I don't feel like my appreciation or proximity to LotR is in any way diminished by this. It's only annoying that when recommending Tolkien's stories and the film trilogy that from now on we will have to add the comment "but ignore the TV series though".

Just a theory, I suspect they went for inexperienced directors/other roles because they’re much more likely to do exactly what they’re told and not put up much resistance.

I wonder how many higher-profile directors actually showed interest in or applied for the role and were disregarded.

The five ships of Numenor was the deal breaker for me. When William the Conquerer invaded Britain, he had 700 ships. 700, and he was only sailing across the channel. Alex was 100% right, they must be missing the rights to most of the big stories, otherwise it should run: Season 1 - Forge the rings Season 2 - War of Sauron vs. Elves, saved by the Numenoreans Season 3 - Rise of Mordor Season 4 - Capture of Sauron, corruption of Numenor Season 5 - Invasion of Valinor, sinking of Numenor

Founding of Gondor and Arnor after that too. But a small divergence from lore now might lead to a total nonsense by the time of that happening... Like, Anarion being a female who did not even go to Middle Earth, as far as Ep. 5 goes.

I can relate to Joe's frustration with Numenoreans, yeah Amazon treatment to them is just disrespectful. These men whose ancestors are the the Edain of the 1st age, are not normal/average men. They did aid the elves during the war of the wrath against Morgoth, mainly the three noble house of Edain (those of Bëor, Haleth and Hador). Numenoreans should at least have some prior knowledge and innate abilities in fighting, but the scene we all saw in training scene is just ridiculous , it feels like these men are just peasants who never fight before and never heard about orcs lol. It's pretty sad. The Numenoreans also have a much longer life and vigor ( their life spans are much longer than normal men) with tall stature like 7ft or more with strong body and mind as described by Tolkien.

Wouldn't it be funny if the Numenorians land in the South Lands and then they link up with Gil-Galad and he goes like "We dead if we don't get mithril" and then the Numenorians say "Oh we can spare a helmet or two." and then Gil-Galad says "What?" And then Elendil says "Yeah we bought like a ton of mithril from the elves and dwarfs way back when we helped you defeat Sauron the first time." Because you know Mithril is not a secret and the elven smiths used to just buy it from the dwarfs and work it, it's an export product of the dwarves.

I totally get what Joe is saying about the score being an issue. It's one of the most overlooked things when people talk about film and tv, but it's actually one of the most important components in building the puzzle that is a film or tv show. One of my favorite things about being a film student, was figuring out what to do about sound design and sound mixing when working on projects. One of my favorite things on KZbin, are these awesome edits people do of the MCU matching scene transitions to the beat of a song, and warrior cat MAPs, where artists come together to bring these battle cats to life, through animation. If there's ONE thing can binds humanity together, it's song. Music. And the truly great film/tv scores, will be talked about for decades. The Lion King 2019 had a MAJOR problem with the score not fitting the scene. When the stampede happened, instead of the intense orchestra telling the audience "this is some serious sht" now you have EPIC, HEROIC HORNS when you see Mufasa coming in to save the day, when ZAZU lands on the tree like WHY. In the original, when Zazu even flies down, the score changes to the strings and wind instruments as the scene progresses in intensity. Then when he spots Simba, those same flutes are a cue; it's letting the audience know of Zazu's emotions along with the expression on his face; the animation and score do all the talking. A good score will remind you of a scene in a movie or TV show. A bad score will just go through the motions, have all the proper cues that's it nothing else. A GREAT score, will put you RIGHT back into the movie or show, the moment those notes hit your ears.

They nurfed elves. Removed their magic and even made them dependent on what amounts to an elixir to remain immortal like they’re alchemists. Or vampires needing blood.

[@damien2729]

Clearly didn't watch the episode, they've always depended on the light for their immortality. It's why Elrond told Arwen to leave Middle Earth during Return of the King, because Sauron's influence and power was growing too strong again, just like it is now, in the 2nd age...

[@sephiroaone-of-nine101]

@@damien2729 clearly didn't read the books, cause the elves were leaving because magic in the world was fading further and further becoming less and less mystical

[@bradmiles1984]

@@damien2729 No that's not true. Their immortality comes from how strong their spirits are. It is actually what eventually causes them to diminish if their magic grows too powerful, their body can't handle it. Anytime an elf dies their spirit goes back to the undying lands and they are reincarnated. If they always needed the light they would of died off after losing the Silmarils while being out of Vallinor for so long.

[@maxthommesen9315]

@@damien2729 lol no the elves live in the spirt world and the matirial wolrd and ther matirial bodys start to fade because thier powerful souls burn thier bodys up... they go to the undying lands because of that, and when they do die they get reincarnated in valinor thats why it so fuckimg stupid that galdriel wants revenge

I'm on a rollercoaster with the Angry Joe reviews. Up for House of the dragon, downhill for She Hulk, then we get the excitement of Andor but then crash right down with Rings Of Power. I always just look at Alex's face at the beginning of a review to see where it is going to go.... I love you guys!

[@frankcortes6852]

So House Of The Dragons is being liked by everyone (both left and right)??? I know that there are shows like She Hulk, Resident Evil, and this LOTR spin off that are hated by everyone. Do you know which shows are loved by everyone and the ones that are hated by everyone in theses days????

[@NoPantsBaby]

The face tells it all.

[@Fybre]

@@frankcortes6852 Did I imply any show is either loved or hated by everyone? Or should I use some more??? I know if these guys like a show, that I will probably like it too, and if they don't then I probably won't like it either. That's why the angry joe show is my 'go to' source for reviews. I enjoy the ups and downs of their experiences with the different series, and their no bullshit approach to it.

@@Fybre Sorry, I just wanted to know if you know the hateful popularity or loveful popularity of theses new shows. 😔

Galadriel training those soldiers was so bad I thought I was watching a SNL skit. Galadriel: "You stab the sword and twist the blade." Me: "And how many centuries did it take you to learn that?"

Alex was never a downer. He just doesn't accept the shit that Hollywood tries to feed all of us.

[@jamessweeting1]

I remember when everyone hated Alex haha, I've always thought he's bloody great. Too many KZbinrs are over excited morons it's nice to listen to someone who actually has some standards

[@gracefulPainter]

It's funny you mention the music- I was just watching the Fellowship of the Ring and it struck me how they build up the troll fight with the dread with music, then they dropped the music out and it really punctuated the scene. I love the fight as the troll felt so powerful ND the lack of music just cemented the whole thing. Then afterward it kicks in when we think frodo is dead. So good

[@makasete30]

absolutely awesome scene. They all struggle and you start to think one of them may die. Gandalf can’t beat it quickly. Even Legolas can’t pull off a physics defying video game move to completely finish the troll in 2 seconds. if only they had Galadriel from a few 1000 years ago.

A billion dollars on a incompetent production crew. Bravos, Amazon.

[@TangoNevada]

Lot's of money spent in the wrong places. Should have spent more on hiring competent writers. The gorgeous CGI will only get you so far.

[@DragonHeart613]

Amazon's other big fantasy show The Wheel of Time is infinitely better than Rings of Power. WofT has its own flaws but it's better written, better acted & better structured.
