    Wow this was great! It’s rewarding to see the actors for chars in shows are like are wonderful and charming

    The most googled question: “How do I get Amazon to not delete my negative review”?

  4. V M

    September 23, 2022 at 10:49 pm

    I feel bad for Morfydd. Tolkien’s calm, composed and unreadable Galadriel would have been a more interesting role to play. And much more empowering. This show is going to ruin so much

  5. Asif Rahaman

    September 23, 2022 at 10:59 pm

    nah why is the video more fun and entertaining than any episode of the show

  6. Anthony

    September 23, 2022 at 11:06 pm

    rings of power was such a disappointed, i cant event be bothered to watch it anymore.

  7. Dragonfire

    September 23, 2022 at 11:07 pm

    These Lord of the Rings actors know nothing about their characters. This is modern TV.

  8. Anthony

    September 23, 2022 at 11:07 pm

    these questions are so fake

  9. Elite Salad

    September 23, 2022 at 11:07 pm

    This just shows how dirty the writers did these actors. They’re better freestylin here than most of their scenes in that show

      Maybe you should stop watching… I can’t imagine how you’ll whinge and whine come Season 2

    I’m sorry for them, the disgrace they made will haunt them forever.

      They’re less to blame than the writers though

  11. Cw tr

    September 23, 2022 at 11:26 pm

    They had to ask them why Amazon deleted so many reviews

    A shame that the context taints this video, because here the cast come across as actual normal people

      How? were like 5 hours in and pretty much nothing has happened this shows making the Hobbit look like a masterpiece!

    That was so much pain watching this. THEY DONT KNOW LORE

  19. dah_koh_tah

    The rings of power do not enhance the power of the wearer.

  20. Avery A

    September 24, 2022 at 12:42 am

    Is it strange that I’m extremely annoyed with the fact that isildur only tucks his hair behind one ear and then to come here and see it’s actually because the actor who plays him literally wears his hair like that in real life🥴

    Side note: Galadriel and Isildur are arguably the most important characters and yet they are both so painful to watch. I don’t know if it’s bad casting or bad writing by the two but either way it’s not good.

  21. ellieysama

    September 24, 2022 at 1:11 am

    Hahaha Guess they don’t want to look so bad disabling the comments so they are ramping it into over drive doing damage control with the comment section I guess >,>;

    This show has been so frustrating to watch. The writing and editing are NUTS

  25. Brian Buss

    I wonder if they knew the show writing was awful while they were shooting it.

  26. iippaah

    Love how proud they are of their characters

  27. Saberrawk

    September 24, 2022 at 3:04 pm

    I tried to give this show a chance, but I couldn’t get past the second episode. The pacing was awful, and the writing seems like it was created with secondary school audience in mind.

    Totally woke.. I could not watch after 15 minutes. it is such a disgrace that they did not stay true to Tolkien’s sensibilities

  35. Dante Alighieri

    September 24, 2022 at 6:07 pm

    I want to be celeborn in this show, look how beautiful and lovely my galadriel would be. And but the script and the plot aren’t that good.

  36. Ban Me

    September 24, 2022 at 6:20 pm

    It feels like almost the entire cast is made up of unlikable frauds… which I would be okay with if the show wasn’t so unlikable also.

  37. JDavis

    September 24, 2022 at 6:50 pm

    As a big Tolkien fan and someone who has studied his works for many years, I very very much appreciate how knowledgeable the cast is

    • Dave Est

      September 25, 2022 at 12:15 am

      Shame there’s no Tolkien in this show then

  38. Victimesty

    September 24, 2022 at 7:13 pm

    This video made me realise how knowledgeable and passionate the actors are. The actors would do a much better job writing Rings of power than the writers did!
    Special props to miss Clark and mr. Walker. They did great and are shot down for the abysmal portrayal of their characters, which is not their fault.

    A huge pile of dog shite. This show was tailored for anyone with an IQ of 45 or less. Amazon needs to fire absolutely everyone involved and throw this embarrassment into a dumpster. Good job Amazon/Bezos! Sitting on a gold mine larger than Smaugs hoard under the Lonely Mountain… And you F’d it up.

    Such a disgrace to the lotr series shame

    These must be the most googled LOTR questions within the Amazons bubble. The questions, answers and conversations are certainly of the same level as the show itself.

  58. MrLilTay

    September 26, 2022 at 7:20 pm

    Benjamin Arthur (Gil-Galad), Owain Arthur (Durin IV), and Lloyd Owen (Elendil) all just gained a lot of credit in my book! Especially impressed with Benjamin seems like a true fan of Tolkien lore.

  61. Jorge Suero

    September 26, 2022 at 8:44 pm

    Gil-Galad and Elendil do know what they are saying, that will make them act better, definitely

  62. Keppler - 134

    I love the series, I hope that in the second season they maintain the quality and do not exploit the special effects to have the season before.

  80. Emil Sinclair

    September 27, 2022 at 1:14 pm

    Its absolutely amazing that they still think they could present it in such a way to make it look like the show is a success, while in reality its a complete trainwreck and everybody knows it.

  81. JCJW

  91. BlackBeskar Studios

    September 27, 2022 at 9:56 pm

    “Ooh, didn’t see that coming, did ya? You need to read the books.” Gil-galad’s actor is a legend.

    *After the first and before the third*

    Morfyyd Clark also gets where Sauron resides wrong.

    In the second age of Middle Earth after a period of time hiding, Sauron sets up business in Mordor.

    When AR Pharazon and his overwhelmingly powerful Numenorean army invade Mordor in the 2nd age Sauron surrenders to AR Pharazon without much of a fight. He is then taken to Numenor, where he resides unt the death of that fair physical form of Sauron.

    Then his spirit escapes the destruction of Numenor back to Middle Earth and eventually to Barad Dur Mordor , where he grows a new form again.

    In the 3rd age of Middle Earth Sauron resides in 3 places :

    1) unknown location in hiding and growing a terrible to behold visage physical form with only nine fingers and black skin.

    2) As the “Necromancer” residing in Dol Gukdur in Southern Mirkwood.

    3) Barad Dur in Mordor.

  105. Del Liv

    September 28, 2022 at 3:57 am

    Sauron also takes the very fair form of Annatar in the 2nd age to charm the elves . After a period of wandering he eventually resides at Ost -in-Edil, which is the capital of Eregion, which is close to Khazad Dum (Moria), where he convinces the Gwaith – I – Mirdain (the Noldor Elven alchemists and jewel smiths and Celebrimbor to forge the rings of power.

    September 28, 2022 at 11:44 am

    Not even with the answers writed in the same paper card they can say it correctly. At least those actors should had read what they are playing. Nowadays seems that to be an actor you just have to say lines, that’s all.

  108. Ravindu TharuMal

    Galadriel older than Ulmo????

  109. BK

    September 28, 2022 at 1:40 pm

    I cant get over that this show continues to act like Harfoots and Hobbits are completely different lol. Harfoots are 1 of the 3 TYPES/BREEDS/TRIBES however you want to describe it, of Hobbits lol. But they act like Harfoots are an early predecessor of the Hobbit

    Не позорьтесь, ребята. Вы сделали бездарное шоу с ужасным сюжетом, с ужасной игрой актеров. И вам еще смешно шуточки отпускать на этот счет? Да, наверное, это очень смешно – вытереть ноги о произведение мирового уровня, и еще шутить на этот счет. А главная актриса вообще, оказыается, не в теме, кто такая Галадриель, какого персонажа она играет.
    “Ну, Галадриель очень старая”. Да, блин, я не думала, что она такая тупая. Такое чувство, что актеров набирали по объявлениям. Чем тупее, тем лучше.
    По поводу сериала были высокие ожидания, поэтому получился такой катстрофический позор.
    Актерам должно быть стыдно. А они еще сидят и кичатся своей тупостью. Ужас. Дураки радуются тому, что они дураки.

    1, Angry teen Galadriel is gonna get super smashed by edgy Halbrand “Sauron”
    2. Young Gandalf is eventually gonna come out of his DMT trip to let them dipshts know Harfoots are actually just Hobbits.
    3. Adan “Maglor” not 9nly found at that the rocks and roads no longer believe them but the sky and clouds dont either.
    4. Disa is gonna take Durin on a actavist campaign to free the black Orcs and enslave the white ones…

    Q: What’s a Harfoot?
    A: A nomadic group of real @$$holes who leave their own people behind to die and they document and sing songs about the members they betrayed. They were created by the writers of this terrible show to stain the name of the Hobbits because Tolkien’s estate didn’t want to sell Amazon the rights to use the Hobbit designation.

  149. Lukáš chaloupka

    September 30, 2022 at 11:53 pm

    “Zeus would be illuvatar” if you are comparing it to greek mythology (which you shouldnt because illuvatar more resembles god in christianity) then illuvatar would definitely be one of the primordials like Chaos.

  150. Lukáš chaloupka

    September 30, 2022 at 11:58 pm

    Harfoots are not predecessors of hobbits they are one of the species of hobbits they only say it because of marketing since they dont have the rights for hobbits.

      Not entirely true in terms of the Elves on middle Earth where women where on the battlefield (there are several defending helms deep in the PJ trilogy) and Tolkien wrote them that way, however Galadriel was never ever one of them, she was as you say a powerful sorceress who ruled.

    It is so weird that in 2022 there are all these people out there who are now experts in the most obscure LOTR lore and I am here for it

    Ah, that familiar scent of crap when Lady Gagaladriel said than her character is for sure older than Ulmo, bcs beigns that predates creation of Arda itself are for sure a mere pitiful scrab compared to strong woman character. Ulmo my darling is a chad who brings living waters which absorbed light of the lamps to fullfil the seeds ot Trees of Light themself, do that thing before any elf even stood upon the Valinor, when first elves dwelling in dark around the inner seas of Cuiviénen.
    The show is entirely full of simmilar idiotic fauls, not in the lore only, but the logic, conservation and pseudo-epic scenes alike. It could be done only right thing with this show, “Throw it to the fire! Destroy it!”.
