Is the little hype that season 2 was able to manage gonna die as the fall releases have started to happen sucking all the oxygen away from the show?

How the genuine fuck did this dogshit get a second season? Who's watching this crap? Is it you?
>>
>>203763313
I can't deny it. The final shot of episode 6 with Sauron raising his arms like a conductor as the seige begins and the music swells up was bona fide kino. There are so many things about this show that I fucking despise. Many of the liberties with the lore, the forced diversity, some of the annoying performances. Yet, there are a few things that are just awesome and make me wish it was a better show as whole. Thank god for Bear Mccreary I guess.

A shame if so. I like this Season more than the first, probably because so much more of it is actually built on the framework of Tolkien's plot outline, rather than the mostly show-invented events of Season 1. I think this is a big factor in why the Eregion scenes are so solid and Numenor is improving, while the Rhun plotline is kind of a wet fart. It sticks out like a sore thumb when some of the plot is written by one of the greatest fantasy novelists of the 20th century, and some is written by TV hacks.

Ep1+2 were good but this mid season is literally worse than S1s
ep3-6 are just a mess of over edited short scenes from too many plotlines with too little actually happening. It's just not engaging.
Maybe the final couple of eps can save things.

>super powerful ring that... makes you heckin invisible!
the plot line of annatar and the rings gradual corrupting effect playing into his plan is meh at best and its arguably the best part of the story. theres already gaping holes in annatars plot line such as how the other rings smiths dont bother questing annatar giving himself celebrimbors status or checking on celebrimbor himself.

It's the part that most closely mirrors what Tolkien wrote in this whole show, while Numenor is chronologically in the wrong spot, and the Rhun plotline, Adar, and the Southlanders are mostly made up for the show.
>theres already gaping holes in annatars plot line such as how the other rings smiths dont bother questing annatar giving himself celebrimbors status or checking on celebrimbor himself.
These are the parts of the Eregion plot that are most invented by the show writers. You don't know what you're talking about.

Can we all agree that RoP season 2, while not being a masterpiece, is the best show of this season? I have watched season 2 of RoP and I agree it's not a masterpiece, but so much better than season 1 of RoP. The fight scenes are awesome (they had an elf doing spinning tricks!), and also nothing make much sense. None of the characters matter much, sure, but the spectacle! The spectacle! It's the best show of this season, hands down. We had some orcs attacking a fortress, A FORTRESS, this week!

Makes you think, why? You'd think most actors would kill for those prominent roles, but these actors just didn't give a fuck.
Maybe working on this show is just an awful experience.

Salke doesn't have any creative input, she runs the entire MGM/Prime enterprise. She's more a Bob Eiger than a Kathleen Kennedy

I dunno S1 was abysmal until they get to numanor, is ok when they send the army but then gets retarded again at the end. S2, the first ep was OK but the rest has been boring and dumb. Imagine how much money got put into this, how many hours of labour that could have been but to good use elsewhere.

This is exactly what Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy were missing... The magic! So many stones left unturned but Amazon's Rings of Power does not repeat that mistake. Its exploration into the dwarven power to move mountains and sway animals through their voice is exactly the stuff we expect to see adapted from Tolkien's work. Swords, bows and axes are okay but what makes Middle-Earth so special is its magic. And this show really nails it perfectly.

Not sure how firmly a media company could truly be to that commitment, but this was what we're told.
>>
>>203763313
The first six episodes are literally irrelevant. The entire season is just building up to the final 2 episodes.
They saved all the budget for the city siege and the Galadriel x Sauron confrontation
They are the things they expect to get people talking and nothing else in the season really matters
>>
>>203764729
>None of the characters matter much, sure, but the spectacle!
I know this is bait but This is the worst offense. The show is so fucking BORING, black elves and shitty writing aside that's the worst part. You have one billion budget and do nothing with it. In tolkien there are talking Eagles and Dragons but they choose to remake the Lord of the Rings trilogy instead because they are so fucking dumb and need nostalgia.

Idk, I'm liking this season. But I'm not that I to Tolkien, so I'm just treating it like a generic fantasy story. Sauron, Adar, and Celembrimbor are carrying this season hard.

>she doesn't even seem to give a shit
Same this season, they gave her a small scene at the start remembering her 'dear brother' Finrod but literally nothing about her lost husband. Pretty sure the writers wishes he didn't exist and only included that S1mention for some mandatory reason.
She won't even utter his name once this entire season

Nobody considers them as accurate metrics for anything

I'd be happier if I thought the people behind it would learn anything from its failure, but we all know they won't.

How are elves "taking yer trades" if elves haven't been in Numenor for like a thousand years and the very fact that Galadriel was there caused such a drama

He sliced his hand in the scene before. Sauron gave him a vial of his blood which is why the kings of men are bound to Sauron.

And Galadriel reunites with celeborn and haves celebrian.
KEK who am i kidding? Knowing the roastie writers, She probably remains childless and lusts after Sauron till season 5
>>
>>203779315
Very unsatisfying story if that's the case imo.
also, the way in which the daughter is such a complete cunt too, do you need a fembrain to understand her or sympathize with her?

Honestly, this show isn't as bad as the grifters make it to be.
Writing is really below average and these people rape Tolkien's corpse, but it still produces entertainment value to me.
It's amicable trying to connect few random notes Tolkien wrote into coherent narrative.

Also, if we are lucky we might even get Galadriel sex scene with Sauron ;>

It's just a very badly made show. Timewise nothing makes sense, lorewise it doesn't track either.
Characters are written as retards to accomodate the plot (jesus christ, wtf have they done to you Celembrimbor). It's just full of bad choices.

They should have started the story following one group, not 4. Made that story better instead of trying to write everything at once. Maybe they would've been able to create a coherent story instead.

That said it's actually incomprehensible how you can create a billion dollar tv series, and give the reins to complete nobodies. How is this even possible?

What's entertaining aside from Sauron? even though he is haging on a thread because apparently, he goes mega simp for galadriel even worse than 1 finale, all the characters are so badly written and lifeless, the male characters sauron aside are all bitches or hanging over dead bitches.

Because it's made-for-TV. All made-for-tv is garbage. Always have been; always will be. Let me guess, the action scenes do slow-motion cuts, right? Made-for-tv is always sub-par and does no justice to fantasy.

It also splits their resources.
Like they need 10 sets for every plotlines, so all sets are extremely small.
If they had fewer plotlines they could actually show off their budget

Daisy Ridley at least *tried* to act occasionally, even if it was mostly dogshit. Meanwhile, Galadriel is more or less permanently in "condescending and hostile" mode.
