The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (Amazon Prime, Sept. 2, 2022) TV Show • Page 31

Whoa whoa whoa, let’s not pretend Samwise and Aragorn don’t exist

 

i'm right

 

most confusing, sure. best, i think now

 

definitely was not expecting him to show up in this

intriguing

 

you know I’m joking but sorry for bringing it up nonetheless

Peter Jackson 100% would’ve fucked up Bombadil tho imo. he’d just be all quirky and cutesy like radagast in the hobbit instead of being basically god like he’s supposed to be

 

We better see Goldberry as well

 

Nice. Rory Kinnear is good.

 

This was a pretty cool article with some information about the upcoming season:

'The Rings of Power' Season 2 Is About Its Villain's Journey

 

SDCC panel 7/26. Expect announcements or maybe another trailer then.

 

Looks good. I enjoyed the first season but I feel like it’s been so long I don’t remember any of it.

 

Can’t wait

 

this and acolyte are the two shows I like that everyone else I know hates

 

People were too cruel to this show for no reason. Writing was great and it looks gorgeous? Hard to complain about that.

 

two episodes of it were full on great and then there were also some other episodes

 

Really?

 

Yeah this is about where it's at for me. haven't thought about it at all since the finale and barely thought about it when it was on. I'll still be tuning in. But I also said that for WoT and I still haven't watched that so idk.

 

Well wheel of time is very bad compared to the books

 

What did you think was not great?

 

I haven't read them but yeah it wasn't that good either

 

I watched the first episode of this and don't remember much but I'd be willing to give it another try

I don't even want to bother with WoT tho

 

eh, it very boldly breaks Tolkien lore.

but some nerds just can’t understand that, hey, the books still exist! you can still enjoy those, and you can enjoy the show as something else!

 

It’s been a long time since I watched it so let me recall. The main thing I didn’t like about the writing was the dialogue. It seemed stiff and almost a parody of high fantasy instead of the actual thing. Another thing that really bothered me was how unlikable all of the main characters were. I know that characters don’t have to be likable for a show to be good but I think that they were supposed to be likable, the writers just failed at it. There was were characters except maybe the dwarves that I was invested in at all.

 

Disagree with all of that
