Rings of Power Season 2 is Abysmal - Lord of The Rings From Dummies

I was there Gand I led zor into the heart of Mount Doom wait cast it into the fire destroy it no Should Have Ended that day but evil was allowed to endure nero.com greetings you over 1 million Awakening wonders in the 40% who haven't subscribed yet I have spent the last week fighting off a vicious coordinated and un warranted campaign to deplatform this channel over the acolyte mostly by watching the xfiles with my wife and my dog despite all that I think it's time to quiet the noise and extend an all Branch to the Disney

Star Wars channels who didn't like my views on a poorly written Disney Star Wars show and the corporate access media entities that decided to chime in and while you failed to get the acolyte renewed and this Channel and others cancelled I don't want you to get down because there's another show for you out there and it's called the rings of power it's got everything you need tried events andain characters lore shattering dumb Wizards shipping and of course thirst traps and the good news for everyone is they are committed to Five Seasons Amazon just confirmed this

a couple of days ago and as a firm rebuttal to the reports that Amazon had lost well over 50% of its audience from season 1 to season 2 with the rings of power Amazon touts the rings of power season 2 ratings as strong yet below first season what the company says 40 million viewers worldwide have watched at least some of the the first three new rings of power episodes through the sophomore season's first 11 days the company did not make clear however how much of the Season or an episode those 40 million people viewed in

other words trust me bro and let's keep in mind that the rings of power season 1 was beat out by some dude with a tractor in tolk's Home Country anyway without further Ado let's talk about the rings of power the show that's the equivalent of taking the Lord of the Rings books including the appendices sticking them in a blender and then having them put back together with Scotch Tape by Stevie Wonder and Helen Keller except not as [Music] good previously on the rims of [Music] power Fire Mountain awoke the ground shakes it spread through the

bones of the earth collapsing our sun shafts our ability to grow crops now I've got a star these Rings will be Beyond any power yet devised by door four man they shall be rings of power queen of Li is unfit to rule his dying words the king spoke to me and said it was from this she took counsel this elf stone is your queen a legion of Orcs have marched into Elish lands that trail I gather it leads to your high King believes the dwarves to be unworthy in fact he has forbidden the forging of

any more rings at all we have not the time to Bandy words about convincing him who is worthy of Aid whoa G now some have said episode 5 is the best of the worst now if by best you mean boring sure since this episode is such a slog we'll do what the rings of power does to the lore and just hit the bullet points but unlike this show we'll do it in order and why not with your opening shot rip off the opening shot of the two [Music] towers we start out in morio where the

dwarfish health and safety inspector said it wasn't safe to dig after the sun shafts collapsed I mean never mind the giant window Moria has but that's not important right now and never mind the dwarves who mind out an entire Mountain are all of a sudden afraid to dig and although the Dwarven Rings were made for wealth and power essentially amplifying their natural skills and eventually led to them being greedy and wrath just like with gadriel they also come with a ringy sense Duran III is able to find out where to dig and the famine that

started 2 days ago 3 weeks ago 3 months ago I have no idea is taken care of barely an inconvenience then the dwarves jump on the middle-ear highspeed train and head on over to region Remember The Fellowship of the Ring oh I remember remember the doors to Moria the doors of durin Lord of Moria speak friend and enter at this point dear viewer because you didn't watch the show you're probably wondering did they show us the creation of the western doors of Moria nope they didn't even do that they just showed it the door of

during unbreachable visible Only By Moonlight and guarded by a password known only to friends now what the hell were the doors of durin doing in Aion in sauron's presence I have no idea it's a good thing he didn't use the knowledge to find him and understand that password Hint it works sir we have the combination great what's the combination 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 yes that's amazing I've got the same combination on my luggage then grandma bmore and thirst trapar go and argue like an old mered gay couple about putting

some men's fingers in some rings rings for men I did not say anything about Rings it is a game you play have you had a change of heart come this is we shall speak of men tomorrow I would prefer to speak of them now cat te this is followed by quite possibly the worst travesty in this episode when discussing how easily corruptible men are Hair Club for menar the Lord of wigs invokes names from the books the are always some who rise forth and shine now Saron right there is trying to justify giving rings to

Men by using the name aril who is a half elf but to be fair to Amazon they only had a billion dollars and probably couldn't afford the research but as far as Baron of Baron and luthan is concerned oh oh wow Will Smith just smacked the sh out of me keep be's name out your mouth I'm going to okay but then there's this unintentional but quite accurate meta statement from the show let us not tempt failure by allowing our reach to exceed our grasp this brings us to the Mighty Men of westernness the numenorians if

adapted properly this could take up its own show of 25 episodes per season for the next decade in the rings of power they've been reduced to a c plot that plays out like a tel Nolla don't believe [Music] me you'll have to forgive me because I'm still trying to get this scene right in my head but essentially Muriel tells elel to keep his head down because he had a vision in the paner of him riding a horse and it wasn't the vision that she was getting from the planer of num Manor's destruction although she didn't

tell him she had that Vision if that doesn't make any sense to you it shouldn't because it doesn't and before anybody tells me what Al lindal's Vision meant according to the lore stop we're talking about the rings of power here and it's time we check back with this character look familiar actually no oh yeah the daughter of a lindal an Amazon creation that was never in the lore who betrays him for AR faton who only exists to force meaningless conflict and give us scenes with some unintentionally meta lines that tell us exactly how Amazon feels

about tol you mock that which is sacred I mock that which is absurd and since we're overdue it's time for some repurpose dialogue until we meet again in the far Green Country under a swift Sunrise the far country into a swift Sunrise anyway let's get this over with ar faton tells his Amazon original character son that his mom said he wouldn't amount to anything forcing him to be a guy whose name I can't bother to remember going off to kill a guy whose name I can't bother to remember I'm supposed to care so much about

this character who is dying I just remembered his name when the closed captions reminded me of it oh no don't die no I will avenge you text notes meanwhile back in Moria we get another unintentional meta line that describes how everyone involved in this show really feels a gift from o one that's honed and refined over a lifetime and this feels somehow like cheating now if I told you the following scene was daa dropping a crystal ball down a hallway about 10t from a major Market that no dwarves have discovered in thousands of years and

then singing and waking up a b bog would you believe me well that's exactly what happens daa drops a ball down a hallway about 10 ft from a major market and then sings and wakes up a bog but not to worry the bog is a slow Riser it's going to take him a little under 4,000 years to finally get out of bed which means about 2 or 3 weeks with this show then we get to see Doan the thir pass out the seven Dwarven Rings which canonically he shouldn't even have the dwarves and the men

don't get their Rings until after the elves turn on Sauron and I don't even know why I bother meanwhile back in region the Amazon original character Meridian morania mity maternity not really sure and don't care makes her own ring and turns invisible which apparently is something that's lifted from Lord of the Rings online ages ago in the vastness of Aron the Dark Lord came in Fair guise in those days he beguiled nth daughter of lodon and broke her mind how strange when the light caught your hair for a moment you seem to have perfect likeness

his likness why Lady gel of course definition of a red flag isn't it shout out to High King F or Alpha Chad on X Twitter for pointing this out these series of events almost cause grandma bmbo to give up a secret to saon about putting some men's fingers in some rings and now the daddies are arguing again which leads to a staff meeting with the mostly female Elvin Smiths of regon and this is all over the corruption of the Dwarven rings and instead of recalling them the Multicultural Elvin Smiths of regon decide to to fight

the evil rings by making more evil Rings this of course will be followed by a disinformation campaign and anyone who calls this out will be called anti-s smithing and against the smithing because the smithing is settled meanwhile back in Lyndon High district manager gilgalad finally hears from Grandma bmore and although it's been quite some time how much time exactly I have no idea with this show and they've lost multiple messagers and they sent out guy ladel Doogie elrond and four the best and brightest from your local Starbucks and despite the message being completely suspicious saying

everything's fine and I'll do exactly what you say and Elon showing up after a good Sprint from oron saying it's been compromised High district manager Gil gallan says Nah it'll be fine we're going to attack Mordor instead and it wouldn't be an episode of rings of power without Warrior gadriel as you probably didn't know because you didn't watch last episode she was captured by a Dar and despite all of her rage she's still just a rat in a cage and you may notice the Orcs are fearful of warrior guy ladil as they should be they're

all just torturing hard to bring maggoty bread home to their families but because this is Warrior guriel she isn't captured long she pulls a prison shank out of her prison wallet and this episode saved the most absurd and the worst for last the Amazon original character Adar offers an alliance to gadriel with the Orcs which is as ridiculous as shipping Saron and gadriel you know I long for the days of regular old bad writing and incompetence because this goes further than that again you have to try to assassinate characters and mock that which is sacred

this badly that's why I will continue to mock that which is absurd but the tolken estate is behind this and Simon tolken is a consultant listen my dad was an accountant you want me doing your taxes listen we're dealing with showrunners JD Payne and Patrick McKay who completely screwed up the order of the making of the Rings so they can do it in the order of the Ring poem it's like poetry sort of they rhyme and if you don't think they're shipping in a brimo Charlie Vickers turns up at your doorstep you let him in

yeah I probably would yeah but it's no doubt this show was taking a beating that it earned remember the showrunners said that the phandom was patently evil well they've changed their tune a little bit the rings of power showrunner is happy for people to hate watch and make YouTube videos about season 2 it wouldn't be a journey through Middle Earth without some trolls along the way from the people who wanted to make Lord of the Rings for dummies that ended up being Lord of the Rings by dummies and once again I'll remind Amazon that they

are the melore of this story they weave the Discord in tolking song of creation giro.com if you like what you heard please like share and subscribe if you didn't like what you heard I thank you for listening this long I will see you in the next video cast it into the fire destroy it
