The Rings of Power 1x1 Full & Uncut Reaction!
🕑 Added 2022-09-04 16:52:06 +0000 UTCHey hey Patrons!
So you got a billion dollars, a ferociously coveted fantasy IP, and one of the most ubiquitous and horrible corporations releasing it, and....
it's pretty good! And looks expensive as shit!
We're covering The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power S1E1 yall and we had a decent time with it!
The spectacle is there, the story expansive and the Elves are doing BBLs in this era of Middle Earth - as we call it BBElves.
This is a decent start for something that could be special and render the line between the cinema and TV just a little bit thinner!

We'll be dropping Episode 2 almost immediately so keep an eye out for more stuff to follow!

I was NOT expecting 'the stranger' to show up in this show, let alone so soon. Like wtf

I actually kinda prefered episode 1 to 2 haha. Idk, note how we just keep talking about how good it looks and the epic effects and so on but, story? characters? dialogue? it doesnt really stand out in any of those fields, yet. House of the Dragon from episode 1 had you invested in the characters and had great lines and an intriguing plot. But I'll see where it goes

yeah, the whole WHO is this Wizard guy is a big one for me right now

oh HotD is way more our shit, and this Ep is def dry, Ep 2 definitely picked things up in a big way. A lot of what I call "Legolas Lines" which is whispy, very broad platitudes spoken in a very soft and droll way. ALOT of stuff like that here but things get a lil more relatable and jumpy in Ep 2

Personally i found it underwhelming and kind of sloggish but hey, i feel like thats just LOTR in general, at least for me. Def more interesed in House of the Dragon.

Was waiting for this one! I actually liked it a lot, I'm not really a big Tolkien nerd so I don't really care how faithful it is, I'm only really familiar with the movies and games. I'm still yet to be hooked but I'm really curious about where all the plot threads are all going.
