Why Watch 'Rings of Power'?

[ZehnWaters]

As or the latest episode, even that last has been questioned.

True.

"Oh, by the way, I have a daughter with Celeborn. But she's okay. She's staying with Grandmama."

Well, it's not like they follow canon anyway. Not that canon about Galadriel and Celeborn is easy.

I know nothing about her but the way they're going about some things in the show I suppose they're just gonna use her as a mystery and cliffhanger somewhere. Also, can't she take care of herself?
Maybe she's not yet around. Or she went to war as well and missing as a result. Well I could keep guessing all day, I figure we'll see in a year or so.

...I suppose she would be an adult at this point. I'll give you that one.

I wanted to say Durin as well, love him. Disa had a crazy glow in her eyes last episode so she's obviously Sauron /s.

WHY NOT?!

No clue what Al Pharazon should be like but I like him so far as well.

Evil. Arrogant. Charismatic. Handsome. A YEAR YOUNGER THAN MÍRIEL.

Spoiler

I like Elendil as well but this fake out Isil death really changed his whole stance on elves real quick. Don't dig this new one as much.

Yeah....

Black don't crack 😎
Oh apparently my guy's only 41yo, miriel's actress is 37. Damn they did my guy dirty.

Galadriel is manipulative and vindictive.

You need brain to be manipulative.
Galadriel in the show looks pretty dumb to me.

Canon for these two isn't "too" confusing in my opinion. But posthumously published uncanon makes a mist for many here!

And yes I'm sorry. This post of mine was an un-called for, subjeggdiv, peggdantic 🥚splanation.

lol, OKAY fine. Tolkien's constant revisions can be confusing but they weren't talked about IN TEXT for LotR.

Hollywood does that to EVERYONE. Even PJ did it to everyone countermanding Théoden about Helm's Deep. Like, why WOULDN'T you go to a defensive position when heavily outnumbered.

Nor in RGE🥚.

RGE?

 

[Radaghast]

Wow, so, finishing the recap for E7, Disa and DIV basically go from "let's save the elves!" to "Screw the elves! And DIII! The mithril is ours! The WORLD is ours!!!"

😐

 

[Elthir]

RGE?

The Road Goes Ever 🥚n, published by JRRT in 1967 -- in which Galadriel is banned from returning Over Sea due to her role, among others, as a leader of the Exiles over the GI [Grinding Ice], which seems to agree nicely with Namarie at least [which makes sense, JRRT commenting on this lament in RGEO]. . .

. . . and in which (RGEO again) Celeborn is (once again in an author-published text) stated to be Sindarin -- thus not a Telerin Elf from Aman [from posthumously published mist].

Hey, you know one thing Rings of Power is really missing? Rings.

 

[ZehnWaters]

Hey, you know one thing Rings of Power is really missing? Rings.

I think that's going to happen halfway through the series. They're setting it up with Celebrimbor and Elrond. But...yeah...

 

[The Void]

ROP is like a Onion Ring chip packet.
1% actual onion in it as an ingredient to give it its Label "Onion Rings"
The rest is made up of synthetic ingredients to show how technologically superior the product is
...and a lot of hot air in the packet.

 

[Radaghast]

I liken Rings of Power to some hideous brood parasite, setting itself on a nest and laying its own odious clutch of eggs.

 

[Jorlan Elükar]

I get that, and I don’t blame you. I’m still watching them with an intense morbid curiosity to see how the 8th episode (season finale after only 8 episodes???) pans out. If the weird old man from the meteorite turns out to be Gandalf, that will be the final nail in the RoP coffin for me. Tom Shippey told them ages ago they were ruining the lore of Tolkien, and for that they (allegedly) sacked him. It’s the Gandalf thing for me. The Valar did not send the Maiar by airmail (non-hot) rocks!

They should have made Silmarillion aka the war with Morgoth instead of what they did make.

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

They don't have the rights to it.

 

[Elthir]

eggs.

I agree.

Hey, you know one thing Rings of Power is really missing? Rings.

"Gil-galad's" got 'em.

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Is that an egg over his shoulder?

They have the rights to The Hobbit and LoR, including Appendices.

 

[Elthir]

Great Oliphaunts! Maybe movie Gil-galad's got a golden goose.

 

[Radaghast]

"Gil-galad's" got 'em.

😝 I should have specified "of power" 😆

Is that an egg over his shoulder?

Pretty sure it's between his shoulders 😝
