I enjoyed the last one, I think I'll check it out right now thanks for the update!

[Jimjam]

Loved the costume design on the orcs. Some spectacular locations. Looking forward to seeing more.

[Ekco]

[Ekco]

Oh the rings looked BAD-A in the first episode!

[Ciderpress]

Yeah no I can't. With these type of spinoff shows I always just ask myself "would this be good if it were a new IP and not based on an established one?".

Then I make a big thumbs down gesture and a loud fart\shit noise, because the answer is always no.

yeah, first episode was good and got me hyped the following two just had too much filler type nonsense with really bad pacing, like 20 minutes of Gandalf walking through the desert with two hobbits was not fuckin needed

yeah, only reason i'm watching at all is some of the scenes are from the Silmarillion and Appendix A but the "tv show" part of it is fucking horrid.

and it's insane they have literally spent nearly a billion dollars on this show with that kind of money there is zero excuse for it not to be on par with the LOTR trilogy and all they are accomplishing is making the Hobbit trilogy look less shit now in comparison

[shovelquest]

I really like how it adds all this lore and intrigue to orcs.

Also the dwarf and elf friendship in s1 was so great!

[Reiwa]

Isildur claimed the Ring as a weregild for his father and brother, and Elrond (perhaps not fully understanding the nature of the One Ring) acknowledged his claim. Elrond then returned to Rivendell at the end of the war.
