Rings of Power? Disappointment.
Tim's video? Best shit I've ever seen.

"The sea is always right" was Amazon's painfully transparent attempt at trying to have their own "Winter is Coming."

In reality, nomads in communities would help each other, not abandon each others just because. That's the one reason why they travel in groups, to support each others.

One thing I remember from the Rings of Power is the lack of respect for Tolkien and his works. "This isn't your grandfather's Tolkien" and "We're updating it for a modern audience" just made me think, "If you're doing all this hard 'work' changing the story, why are you even doing an adaption in the first place? Why not make your own fantasy show?" then it hit me, "then they won't have gotten anywhere near the budget or attention they did."

I wanted the reveal to be that Sauron was fractured- that the Stranger was The Power, Halbrand was The Regret, and (maybe) the sword was The Intent, and that by the end of season 1 he pulls himself together and then goes on to be Annatar with season 2 seeing the progress of the rings.

LOL āGaladriel was shipwreckedā
Come on. That entire chain of ridiculously plotted chance occurrences and terrible decision making was kicked off by her jumping into the middle of the ocean, because reasons.

"Rings of Power is simultaneously structured around the Halbrand reveal, but not written to give it meaning." That is a great summary!

1:35:30 Perhaps the saddest part about the Hobbit trilogy is that, in 1960, Tolkien himself tried to rewrite The Hobbit to be closer to The Lord of the Rings, and he ultimately scrapped the rewrite because it was no longer The Hobbit, so the movies were ultimately trying to do something Tolkien had tried and ultimately considered a bad idea.

I cannot wrap my head around why anyone would attempt a Second Age story without access to the extended material. How do you tell Galadrial's story without access to her literal story?
It was doomed from the start.

In the books, the letter C is always pronounced like a K instead of an S. In Rings Of Power, it's pronounced however it feels like because the C is always right.

Cinema Therapy did a great video on how Aragorn represents healthy masculinity. He's equally capable of being strong and being warm and considerate. In the scene where Boromir dies (spoilers) he goes straight from decapitating an orc to tenderly comforting his dying friend. As a King, he's brave enough to lead the charge into battle and humble enough to bow to the hobbits. Dude sings a sonnet at his own wedding to an elf princess. He's a great example to young boys that "being a man" can mean a lot of different things, and crucially that it doesn't mean putting others down.

My husband walked in and asked me what I was watching. I replied, āA critique on the Rings of Power, you know, that show we watched a while ago.ā
He paused and said, āI canāt recall that show at all.ā
For context, heās someone who didnāt grow up watching LoTR but enjoyed the movies as an adult (even the Hobbit ones). But his response sums it up: the Rings of Power is pretty forgettable.

The "do not harass those creators i mentioned" disclamer really needed to be in the beginning. I am sure lots of people went right away.

Okay, am I going crazy? I was watching this video, got up to take a break, came back not five minutes later and the run time has changed and the bit I was on has disappeared? I swear this video was four hours long and I had one hour left before my loo break??

I remember when the news broke that Amazon didnāt even have the rights to adapt most of the actual works that dealt with the 2nd age. The question of 'why even?' rung so loud in my head.

One thing that really bothered me with ROP is how unkindly the show treats non main characters. Background characters are all idiots, often selfish and weak-willed, just going along with whoever seems the most charismatic at the moment. This is especially noticeable in Numenor, and in the southlands.
Take the southlands for example: all the background characters speak in low-class (American southern or northern British) accents, they wear dishevelled clothes, have dirt on their face, there are barely any women or children among them, while our main characters look pristine, speak in high class American or British accents, and are wearing colourful clothes. The background characters also never display an ounce of sympathy, gratitude, selflessness, or frankly any positive character trait you could think of. It paints this incredibly dim view of the every-man, when I don't think that really is something that flows from Tolkien's work.

The tragedy of Halbrand being Sauron is that he is the perfect setup to be a nazgul, perhaps even the witch-king. This man who becomes king over a southern kingdom with a chip on his shoulder who desires power, which would give a perfect reason for him to accept a ring of power. Then his proximity to the main characters would make his slow descent into becoming a ringwraith as he is slowly bent to sauron's will all the more tragic.
It would give us as the audience a really interesting perspective as he envies Elendil and Isildur and feels that the fledgling kingdoms of gondor are favored more by the elves than his. Etc etc
Could have been really interesting. Now the nazgul are probably just going to be dudes with hoods that show up randomly in season 2
