Rings of Power is definitive proof that money can't buy talent nor passion.

I always find it odd, watching reviews where the author puts in 100 times more effort (and thought) into the review than the team of "writers" put into the original product....

The Elves work so much better in contrast to human characters rather than being the center of the narrative. The regal mystery they had in the Peter J. trilogy is entirely gone here. They just seem like another human faction

Of course this is subjective, but this is one of the most brilliant LOTR v rings of power pieces I have ever seen! The way you switch your descriptive verbiage from highbrow to anger and frustration is F**King FANTASTIC. I bet you aced every class in writing you ever took bravo sir. thank you for this sir, and all of your great videos

The Elves beeing just normal humans with pointy ears and blow-dry hairstyles is something I disliked immediately the short time I watched season 1.

As a Tolkien aficionado for over 40 years, there is no reason whatever that I should watch that show.

A billion dollars... and they still have costumes that look like a high school play.

Bad writing, bad casting & bad acting VERSUS good writing, good casting and good acting. No contest.

Rings of Power has been a perfect picture of what our dead on arrival version of modernity has done to the human spirit. Nobody wanted it, asked for it, or is enriched by it. The whole point of an old times fantasy is to remind us what we may have lost in our modern world. Rings of Power, defaces the purity of that vision and tries to remake “the past” to be as hollow, shallow, and meaningless as the vapid worldview of those that made it. It is a joy to have it presented with so much budget and hype because it shows that, even in its finest presentation, is rejected openly by anyone with any humanity at all. Thank you for these great videos that expose the emptiness of these attempts to appropriate meaningful IPs for ideological ends.

Completely ignore "The Rings of Power", it's garbage. Treat yourself to the original Tolkien books, they are pure gold👍

I like how the main character embodies what modern feminists see as a strong, independent female woman.
Arrogant, rude, a bit anry, and always wearing a sour face (except for riding horses). This is the type of women even the least capricious man runs away from. These characters are a brave advertisement for acting to be a lonely woman.

I've been a Lord of the Rings fan since 1967 - 57 yrs. This show is not Tolkien. It's more like a teen age soap opera. All you said was wonderfully phrased and well written. Thank you.

[bjornskivids]

It's bad on it's own merits. You don't even need to compare it to anything. It's just bad.

Everything woke turns to shit. Rings of power turned shit into to explosive diarrhea.

Rings of Power is a historic as it is a sign of our times. Lord of the Rings was influenced by the horrors of World War I. The Rings of Power is influenced by modern writers who know more about shipping and situationships from Tinder, Bumble and Grinder than living a real life of purpose and contemplation. Write what you know, to quote/parapharase GOT “they know nothing”.

[ozi]

I would like to say all the producers, script writers, directors, show runners and owners of trillion dollar companies; if you find Tolkien's writings racist, sexist and politically incorrect, please leave them alone and don't try to make any adaptations of them, don't try to rewrite them according your current identity and gender politics.

[unclerukmer]

It's almost as if compelling storytelling is a combination of passion, insight, and competence.

[Nesque]

What weirds me out is that it feels like the writers don't understand the rings of power, like, the actual rings. In ThE bOoKs the three elven rings are made without Sauron's knowledge, after they made the 7 and 9 together.
The only rings that should "act like the one ring" the intense desire to wear it, are the 9. The dwarves are immune to that kind of power, instead they just gained great wealth and greed which in turn attracted dragons. The rings themselves had no real power over them as seen in the show. This is because dwarves are specifically made by Aule to be resistant to evil control.

The root of all comedy is honesty. Propaganda has no comedy cause it has no honesty.
