Chill on Lizzie though! She changed

I’ve been curious about this too. It seems like they were delayed. They aren’t on anything and they said it was supposed to start up this month on Patreon too but nothing is there.

Well Freiren and these elves are a little different. Elves in this universe are immortal outside of dying from like combat for example. Freiren they just live for seemingly thousands of years or if they die from something happening to their physical body as well.

Bro got left on read 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Walker11

Elves are near immortal brahs it’s not about how old is Galadriel or how old is Legolas, even Frieren mentions how elves are practically immortal.

Curtis Rice

Saw all three in theaters with my mother, they were amazing.

salma

Fun fact: So this has nothing to do with this series, but did you know in the comics, Wanda Maximoff is Magneto's daughter

Walker11

The crazy thing is he was the only one who said he wasn’t, the rest of the crew jumped on him and made him believe Ian mckellen played dunbledore 🤣 peer presssure at its core

BT

Wellz still believes that Gandalf played Dumbledoor from HP.

Luna Mé

Where are their reactions for the Rings of Power?

Luna Mé

Luke Evans, the man you thought looked familiar, was in Dracula Untold, the Tree Musketeers, The Beauty and the Beast, Robin Hood, Fast and Furious and more, so yeah you probably do know him✌🏾.

Carlos Reyes

Facts. This ain’t marvel

Te Le

it’s so sad we have reached an age where technology has caught up to what true dreamers could use to make art and instead it’s used by corporate shitheads as a vanity project for bezos. it’s basically sauron winning and being the king of a pile of ash in the real world

Te Le

I would say it’s way worse since a corporate rings of power show is literally the one thing tolkien would have hated to most. they have 3000 year old galadriel who is essentially a wise and powerful angel mage and turn her into a 17 year old bratty marvel character. they make sauron a heartthrob love interest, they make celebrimbor (look at shadow of mordor’s depiction and compare, it’s also fan fic but the look is solid) a stupid gullible fool. literally every story beat is butchered in a way that it just feels like spiteful anger against tolkien specifically

Gaminduc

I tried warning them when I realized they were going chronologically, but by then it was already way too late lol. Like these movies do not work well at all chronologically since LOTR is the intro lore to the franchise.

Rayloeverydaylo

9 rings for men, 7 rings for the dwarfs & 3 rings for the elves. Galadriel is around 8000 years old at this point in the lore

bmo2023

the references dont hit cause they didnt watch the lotr trilogy first, hopefully when they do they remember the characters lol

Oliver

My thoughts exactly i looked up rings of power i could not find it so hope they have recorded it :)

It’s not like the dwarfs were stealing the gold. They literally acquired it because they are expert miners and crafters. The dwarves and the humans were intertwined. They were friends. They helped each other out. So I’m not getting how they’re "greedy" when it’s literally theirs feel me lol

Itami

Lmaooo literally in every universe too😂

Gxorgia

Been a minute since I’ve watched this franchise, forgot how legendary these movies are

Cereal Experiments

If they already got reactions recorded for rings of power then might as well release them. Its cool just to see them react to stuff within the universe. Even if its not that great of quality. They don't have the same high standards as og fans so its just cool to see something in a fantasy setting for them

2:40:30 i almost thought pat was going for wellz hand almost

Aaron

Smaug the dragon was played by Dr. Strange (Benedict cumberbatch) should watch the youtube video of him performing in his motion capture suit while doing the voice lines. its master class

Blue

gandalf is around 55,000 years old...not joking

Oliver

I think it must be because Mappa have spoiled me, but i can notice the CGI a lot more than previous times. Not complaining love all the same just crazy since i never used to notice it at all :)

KJiggidy

Yo RTTV, if any of you were wondering who voiced/motion captured Smaug it was Doctor Strange’s actor, Benedict Cumberbatch.

Chris

When it comes to the LOTR and The Hobbit, it's best to COMPLETELY separate them from anything you see in Rings of Power. Also because y'all keep asking, both trilogies were shot in New Zealand. I don't really fw the hobbit because there's so much green screen shit instead of on-site shooting like they did with LOTR

Killah_ Raze

1:20:38 that was cringe @jerry

Ken

I just googled how old Gandalf is and it this dude is 55,000 years old! But his physical form is 24,000 years old. Like What the actual fuck lmao, I thought this dude was like 5000 years old or something.

Dioly Cabrera

nah fr they really be OP lmao

Azir

You wilding , team Kakuza all the way uppppp !

Walker11

besides the lack of soul the show is just so boring AF. i dropped season 1 after 3 eps but id watch it with the reactions just to see them make fun of how boring it is. its crazy how good it looks but just so empty at the same time

Walker11

facts. shout out frieren

Itami

Legolas scenes are what I live for in this entire universe ✨ the elves are really the superior race💀

Ken

Really? Interesting I only watched up too ep 4 and I liked the show a lot but I don’t know much about this universe. So basically the show pulled an avatar the last air bender (the movie) and botched the show?.

Ken

FINALLY BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

Ben

THE SHOW IS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MOVIES!

Te Le

and once again IF are going to acknowledge rings of power and watch it PLEASE PLEASE remember it’s essentially like dragon ball GT if GT was made specifically to ruin everything toriyama worked for. please acknowledge that it’s not even really Tolkien. it’s one of the most outwardly disrespectful pieces of fiction to an author ever

TDR_216

I’m dead yalls first impression of Legolas is gonna be he’s an asshole when he’s so cool in the LOTR trilogy

Te Le

Rings of Power showing us what true soulless corporate shit LotR can be really makes me appreciate these movies a lot more. yes it’s stretched out, yes there’s generic bad studio interference. but the heart is still there for many scenes

Nick Conner

Secret Level Episode 5 bouta put some hair on yalls chests

AB

tears of the sun - fantastic movie

Cereal Experiments

George rr Martin said that even though Balerion (biggest dragon in GoT) was bigger than Smaug. Smaug would still beat him because he’s intelligent. And he’s not even the largest dragon in the Lotr lore (Ancalagon the black). Whose wings would darken entire continents with their silhouette. Pretty sure balerion is a reference to him since he’s also called “the black” and they said his wings would darken entire towns

What?

The movies don't explain who Gandalf truly is. He's more than just an old wizard. He and the other wizards are basically like the Supreme Kai from DragonBall Z. They are immortal, angelic beings called the Ishtari. Gandalf is OP af compared to the threats we see in this trilogy and could easily handle them himself if he used his full power, he's just forbidden by God to not directly interfere and only help and guide the heroes. So he knows so much because he's been around so long he literally watched the world's creation.
