I have a feeling meteor man is Gandalf, he is suppose to come on a boat in the early 3rd age, but they have taken so many liberties so far in these 2 episodes, it won't surprise me that it's Gandalf. They have TWO Durins living at the same time, that's not how the reincarnation of durin works, Durin was only reincarnated 6 or 7 times, 2 at once makes no sense. The time of the trees didn't sit well with me, melkor didn't destroy the trees, ungoliant sucked the life from them. FINROD was captured and was killed by a werewolf, not in battle. I was sad they didn't talk about Beleriand and the changing of the physical shape of the world BECAUSE of the war of wrath and morgoths defeat because powers were so great from the first age, but nothing about it. I agree on how slow the pace was, and disappointing on how the lore isn't being 100% followed, I get it they can't maybe, if it wasn't supposed to be part of the Tolkien universe but instead it was it's own thing, then I think they are building an awesome universe here and fantasy series, and doing a good job on the grand scale of the world, it's just not Tolkiens version very well.
Im 100% with Alex here
Racemixing between elves and humans is discouraged because elves and humans have different after lifes. So all mixed race people after death have to choose with what side of the family they will dwell. Which means they will never ever see the other side of their family.
Elrond’s case is especially tragic because he chose to live as an elf while his brother chose to live as a human which means they will never ever see each other again even in the after-life.
I suppose they won’t mention this in the series because it would mean that LOTR universe on cosmological level has agenda against racemixing.
Elves are NOT gods in the water, and the freezing of the team of elves show that they are also affected by 'hypothermia' – which G would have suffered from, swimming across an ocean… and let's not forget about the need for water! This was pretty stupid.
Visually amazing. Just about everything else, outside of the dwarves, absolutely awful. I can completely forget about the casting, at this point it doesn't matter one bit. Some of the dialogue (especially between the elves) is terrible. There are NO characters that are in the LEAST bit interesting (again outside of the dwarves). This is not an adaption of Tolkien's work. It's an original story, and it fucking shows.
I don’t mind people being cast in roles who aren’t culturally traditional to the story, as long as they’re the right people for the job (take Morgan Freeman as Red in Shawshank Redemption).
Things only start to go wrong when the people casting roles are too busy focusing on being in the “good person club” to see what fits properly.
I think the treasure in the box is the Arkenstone
And 8 hour movie, where the first 2 hours already felt like 6 hours.
Guys the show is amazing!!! I don’t understand all the hate… The irony is that I was about to skip it due to fandom reaction…. Thank God a friend told me it’s really good and I got on board
You are wrong Fat Joe, it's terrible. The show is an abomination.
They have the rights to the lord of the rings (3rd age) and the appendices ( 2nd age )
Super above average? Isn’t that just good at least?
I am not expecting the show to be fully fateful to Tolkien. It is inspired by and maybe thematically true to Tolkien. They did not get the rights to The Simirilian.
The Rings of CRT
Nah, as a Tolkien fan, just nah. Life's too short for this. Had they done a completely original series with this style and storyline? Sure, i'd be on board. But as things are, i'd rathe watch House of the Dragon….
Kid gloves!? Why???
It’s a common thing with online reviewers “oh project A feels too rushed I need more world building” so a show actually tries to world build and those same dudes are like “ oh project b is too slow they need to speed it up”. Love your work guys but if you’re going to have issues with world building content flesh out why not just “oh it’s too slow”. Also consider the source material Tolkien used pleonasm(learned that word last week haha) as his most trusty tool in writing, so if the show is a little dragged out I’m fine with it.
I'm surprised Alex didn't address the obvious nonsense with the Valinor "portal". At this point you could easily sail to the undying lands, it's not a separate dimension or anything, in fact this is exactly what the Numenorians do several hundred years after the time this show is based.
10:12 about a 5/10.
This is a small thing but why was alex so hyped about seeing a werewolf fight? I feel like literally every appearance of a werewolf in any fiction has a fight in it. Doesn't seem special to me. Same as when people get excited about a game having dragons in it. "its got dragons!!" it's as if they haven't seen or played the last hundred fantasy movies/games
It looks beautiful but oftentimes not good, does it make sense? Like graphics are obviously better than original trilogy but the original trilogy felt real. More practical effects I guess.
My first thought of the guy who fell from the sky was durins bane, you can see how it can lead to that
I can let the different races slide (although it feels weird that girl hobbit's mom is clearly a different race??) BUT not giving a descent beard to the lady dwarf?? This is literally ONE time where people would be overjoyed to see a bearded woman.
"I dont care about diversity, it's a made up fantasy world."
Cool, so a white guy can play black panther right?
Not nearly good enough to counteract how incredibly racist it and the people who made it are.
On a 10 scale: Casting – 0 ; Writing – 1 ; Art design – 6 ; Acting – 4
When Galadriel said “So what are we? Some sort of Rings of Power?” That hit deep.
