#HonestTrailers
Rings Of Power. a show that requires you to be familiar with the books to understand references and their importance. while making you hate the show because you read the books and know they get nothing right
That was a very good summary!
It's almost like it was purposefully designed to punish anyone for knowing more than some casual fantasy viewer.
spot on lol
oh cmon how can you not like the moment when guyladriel says "ThErE iS a TeMpEsT iN mE"' sounds very book accuraty tbh
@@darwinxavier3516 I don't know if I'd say 'punish' but this very much feels like it's expecting people to be familiar with just the Jackson movies, rather than the books and is at most taking inspiration from the extended indexes.
The Harfoots bragging about never leaving anyone behind while they have a book full of names of people left behind just cracked me up 😂
Cognitive dissonance to the extreme 😅
Did they actually say nobody gets left behind? I thought they said "nobody goes off trail and nobody walks alone." Which sounds like a nice philosophy until you realize it's more of a threat. "Nobody goes off trail...OR ELSE!"
They are the SADFOOTS!
@@williamscott2580 it wasnt a crime. in fact, it was famously made into a crime later on. even more so, plenty don't consider it a crime to this day. specifically the same ones who were selling them from way before.
@@ItsNotaTuhmah Harfwits
There were so many great references in this one. It's hard to pick a favorite, but "Are we the baddies?" is just a classic.
True, didn't see that coming
They're not sporting skulls on their attire so they should be safe... In telling themselves that they aren't but regarding how the show portrayed them... Not so much. Now if someone could photoshop that skull-featuring coffee mug or something like that into Galadriel's hand...
I mean... most of the "good" people in LotR are from settler-colonial states. Even the movies explicitly draw attention to how the Dunlendings were driven out of their own lands by the Rohirrim (who themselves were "gifted" that land by the rulers of Gondor). Tolkien was definitely far from being a Nazi, but the attitudes of his time bled through into his work.
@@cass7448 Attitudes of every time. It's just common sense. We just happen to live in a culture that despises common sense in favor of good feelings and pretending we are so much different than the natural world or our horrible ancestors who got us here. Things will come full circle again.
@@fortusvictus8297 What do you mean?
5:22 "Matt Smith and Orlando Bloom in a blender" Oh my god I nearly choked to death on _air!_ It's so mean but so accurate! Hats off to you guys 'cause this was brilliant. Also all the bonus points for that Monty Python reference at 5:28.
The Simpsons reference at 5:37 had me nearly wetting myself :)
There are some who call him... ... ... Tim
Yeah, that one was good.
This is also where I literally guffawed. Like goddamn Goofy.
Ohhhhh. Didn't connect the Monty Pythons reference. Well caught!
Lets root for Sauron. He seems like a nice dude compared to others.
At least he is more loyal to his servants than harfoots are to each other
It’s so weird how they managed to f up so much that inherent evil has become a character we support more than people who represent good usually. My god these writers annoy me
@@richardmangelmann4975 that's becuz they intended to create plots, but they made it so artificial, and failed. They write the characters based on the pre-determined ending. And the evil characters are not going to make stupid things cuz they know what they are doing. So, that only left the good characters to stir things up a bit and make some shits before they can finally realize that they need to team up together. Just lame with all this money wasted. They should really learn from the HoTD team that puts in work, and has passion in it. The Amazon team gives me the feeling that they are arrogant, thinking money can solve everything, no viewership in their eyes.
He's definitely less annoying than Galadriel.
thats not coincidental or just a mistake in a very long and expensive production
"A mysterious stranger appears from the sky, a mysterious stranger appears at sea, a mysterious stranger appears on land, and three mysterious starngers go looking for the other mysterious strangers." That's just EPIC Somone give this guy a medal
He forgot about the mysterious box! and the mysterious sword. And the mysterious mysteriousness! Jeez these creators really had to end every single scene with a cliffhanger. Not even soaps have that many cliffhangers.
The "mystery box" really is the bane of modern writing.
and a mysterious person likes what a mysterious Esta has written mysteriously
@@donder91 Let's not forget the Stranger having amnesia for most of the first season. That's a soap opera staple. The only thing missing was one of the characters having an evil twin.
@@tutuadefolalu3661 That's in season 2 🤪
This was way better written than the actual show!
Oh I bet!
Thats not difficult.
@@LuffyuzumakiPotter Totally, a lot of people (ie ACTUAL storywriters) can do better. I can do better than that show. My heroes are actual heroes for one thing.
@@celeben9463 Some aspects of the show remind me of what Mark Twain wrote about the scene in J. Fenimore Cooper's _The Deerslayer_ wherein six men try to ambush a raft but really screw the pooch--and the stream is unrealistic: "The scow episode is really a sublime burst of invention; but it does not thrill, because the inaccuracy of details throw a sort of air of fictitiousness and general improbability over it." For "scow episode" substitute "volcano sword".
@@KororaPenguinOhh that's where the volcano sword comes from.
“Kirkland brand Aragorn” PRICELESS!!!😂😂😂
Kirkland stuff is pretty good. This Galadriel is more like Walmart "True Value" Aragorn, or whatever that Walmart crap is called.
I burst out laughing in public when he dropped that line
I burst out laughing at the unexpected "oh hai mark" reference. The resemblance is indeed uncanny.
I damn near choked in my coffee right there
He also looks like Skrillex.
Oh hai Ugluk
YOU ARE TEARING ME APART GALADRIEL!!
@@matayolandas this. I'm not the only one LOL. So basically, we have Skrillex, Eminem and Jack Black (numenoran beardy politician). ROTFL
“Brought to you by Amazon” had me rolling, thanks.
Ya. This company is indeed opposite of all it portrays itself to be. 😂
'trailer excerpts of slavery do not accurately reflect amazon working conditions - honestly guys'
@idontcare Disney: Finally, a worthy opponent, out battle will be legendary.
The Scrooge McDuck thing cracked me up.
The reason I like these is because they perfectly articulate exactly what annoys me about something that I can’t quite put my finger on
Oh, I knew the problem: "awful writing."
"Is the stranger when you sit on your own hand until it goes numb..." Yes, yes it is.
Harfoots: "nobody walks alone, we stick together no matter what". Also Harfoots: "If you fall behind your left for dead."
Somebody earlier said it well: "Nobody leaves the trail and nobody walks alone... OR ELSE!"
cute lovable back-to-nature not-hobbit psychopaths
"Nobody walks alone, but you better make sure you can walk."
It wouldn't have surprised me if they just made them cannibals where they eat the sick and the lame and the weak. "Nobody walks alone" (because if you do the others will make you into second breakfast). Could that be why the bees was so funny? Cause it turned him into "Honey-nut Harfoot-tOes"?
Its a responsibility to stay with the group, not a promise that your individual whims will be supported by the rest of the group. I don't understand how so many don't get this ... oh, wait, yes I do. We live in a world where everyone expects their individual whims to be supported fully.
We absolutely need an honest trailer for better call saul
HOW DO WE NOT HAVE THIS ALREADY??!
@@keanehorner5906 i know its ridiculous
Was just about to comment to do one for the best prequel of all time
Yes yes we do😁
I think they respect the show too much to roast it, lol
SO many good lines in this. I think my favorite was the dramatically saying 'who are these people. And why should I care.' HILARIOUS. And the way you introduced the people when you said who the show starred. I think I'll watch this again.
Gold. Somebody could forge an actual ring from this!
Wait, I think Sauron forged a second ring of power....this show.
This gem of an Honest Trailer alone makes up for and is worth more than the billion dollars Amazon spent to disappoint and bore so many people for weeks.
that Matt Smith/Orlando Bloom joke killed it!!
Seriouslee!!!
Agreed 100%!!!
cannot unseen it now...🤣
Should've thrown in a Hugo Weaving joke in there too
I laughed sooooo hard I woke up the whole building
To be honest, ‘He can’t turn into a giant eye, he’s too sexy’ is one of the best descriptions of Sauron taking the guise of Annatar that I’ve ever heard.
That's how he tricked the elves. Should have looked like an elf though. Elves love elves. They're borderline racist towards humans. Though to be fair, I know a lot of humans, and the elves have a point.
@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human they have two points actually, one on each ear… No, I’m not sorry
@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human Wasn't Annatar supposed to be a Valar or some other immortal? Elves love those.
@@VinceValentine He was supposed to be an emissary from the Undying Lands so probably a Maia. Which is Sauron's actual species, he just lied about who sent him.
considering Sauron HATES Men (the species not the gender) him taking the form of a Man and not an Elf is completely against his character
Matt Smith and Orlando Bloom in a blender is so hilariously accurate
“And he is all out of pipeweed” Made my day
Tobacco addicts can get testy if they don't get to smoke.
classic 90's reference
"Kirkland-brand Aragorn" is the most perfect description for that character that I've ever heard for any character ever. :D
It's ironic, since that area of the state has some of the most expensive real estate outside of San Francisco. And now it's a name that means "cheap".
@@patricktracy1966 - Kirkland is the name of Costco’s in-house brand. Hence, why the word is slang for cheap.
Loved it!
I'm surprised they didn't go with "Great Value-brand Aragorn."
@@sachertorte1000 That would imply there was value.
“Stop making me do homework to watch TV!” Killed it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Svenger Mc. Spazzy The curse of knowledge is a catch twenty two, damned if you don't and damned if you do...
Pause Click the X-ray while watching the show, it explains a lot of useful tidbits without spoilers... Still is homework but it's on screen haha. I never read the books and am a casual fan. I'm not searching online :p
Dont bother, they didnt stick to any canon lore anyway..
My wife asking me who people are and then getting annoyed when I need to pause the episode for 10 minutes to explain the complex universe of LOTR.
@Svenger Mc. Spazzy I turned out to be the perfect person to watch this show because I know enough lore to not be completely clueless, but don't know enough to be annoyed by the inaccuracies.
Proto Baggins and sam wise gam-she! Nailed it! Mordork omg so genius
I made myself sit through the entire first season just so I could finally watch this honest trailer.
I did this to myself with the Witcher.. never again, not worth it, 0/10.
It started with the forging of the Great films, The threads were given by Tolkien, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. The rights were granted to Jackson, the great movie director and craftsman of the Tolkien lore. And nine, nine hours were given to the race of men, who above all else desires quality. But they were all of them deceived, for another show was made. In the Land Amazon, in the fires of Mount Prime, The Dark lord Bezos forged in secret, a Master Flop. And in to this show he poured his money, his greed and his will to dominate all fandom, ONE SHOW TO RUIN THEM ALL
Although I loved the show, this comment was genius 😂
BEST COMMENT EVER!!!!!! XD
This is brilliant 😂😂
This is one comment for the ages🤣
👏👏👏
Harfoot: "our heart is bigger than our feet" . Also harfoot: "lol remember when one of us painfully died by being stung to death by wasps? It still cracks me up lmao"
I hate the Harfoots so much.
"we will leave you behind if you slow us down." - harfoots
0:40 "I wonder if the orc slaves get free two-day shipping" also 4:57 Just Epic
thanks for the markers, I have a challenging time catching all the funnies.
It's actually amazing the way they basically got EVERYTHING wrong. Especially since it cost a BILLION dollars. You're left scratching your head, thinking 'How the **** did THIS happen?'.
After digging deeper into the secret mines immediately followed by digging deeper into the secret tunnels, one might finally end up coming full circle (or ring) by ultimately discovering the identities to all the mysterious strangers in this show.
Just be careful not to dig too deep or too greedily
I feel like there's a Fullmetal Alchemist joke in there somewhere.
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole. Diggy diggy hole...
Circular... would be ideal.
@@ArawnOfAnnwn The good old days
I’m so glad your mentioned how much Galadriel’s mouth doesn’t move because that bugged me so much the whole show!
What? You have watched this show!? I'm out...
same. it was like she had her jaw clamped shut
i feel like its on purpose, since being an immortal enlightend beings and warrior, she probably looks at mortals like we do at dogs
@@sh1tpickle for an immortal enlightened being she sure acts like a teenage girl a lot
she doesn't move her mouth much because when she opens it she looks like 01:44
the elves invading „middle e“ just got me so good😂
I only got a few episodes in before giving up because I was bored. This was one of the funniest honest trailers I've seen in a while. "Oh hi Mark" made be burst out laughing loudly on the train 😳
It gets really good in the last episode, for what it's worth.
Whoever put together that 911\Iraq analogy...give that person a raise.
Except it fell apart halfway. IF we had taken all of the oil or something or occupied it for centuries then perhaps it would have made sense. Truth is, we never even got oil out of the deal. While American soldiers were dying in Iraq during the first days of the Iraqi government, Iraq was selling its oil mostly to China and India.
@@fortusvictus8297 The US did get oil out of that war. It is called Quatari oil.
@@fortusvictus8297The most ironic part of that whole debacle for me was that the whole time the U.S. invaded Iraq under the guise of "We suspect they have nuclear weapons," meanwhile North Korea was screaming at the top of their lungs "We have nuclear weapons! Come get them! We dare you!"
The problem with the entire show is literally what you just did. They remade the series their way, about them, and brought their own politics into it.
@@fortusvictus8297 lol, the American pretends they didn't do anything wrong!😂😂🤣👉
"The sea is always right." Isildur: "Where is mom?" Elendil: "She drowned."
Ah....Osse
O MY GOSH lolol so contradictory! 'good writers' my foot, make way business men and let the REAL writers in! those guys write like 12 year olds, with heaps and layers of special effects
@@celestialhylos7028 Yes, Osse. Glad to see another deep fan
The credit for the Queen regent was hilarious "Ze goggles!!"
This was more enjoyable than the actual show
"put that elf on the shelf", best line from this video!!! :D
If Tolkien spun any faster in the grave he’d be digging up mithril
why
@@no.9516 because this series was garbage
@@samcochran8203 how
@@samcochran8203 wasn't actually garbage, and Tolkien's not spinning in his grave, he sold out knowing full well the meaning of the words in the sale of the rights. "adaptations" But if you can do better, Sam, why aren't you out there writing, producing , casting? Just criticizing? Ok, that's all you're good for. Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who cannot even teach, criticize.
@@ThePwebb yes it was actually garbage from the poor acting, clear over to the horrible writing. And I dont have to be be a writer before I can criticize a thing screw off with that crap. Are you gonna claim now that I have to be a chef before I can say a meal was crap? You want to claim all we're good for is hating on things and here you are not even being good at presenting your point you absolute donkey of a man
twin symbol and invade the Middle E, i never laughed so hard
5:28 "There are those who call me... Tim." Why is that so spot on! XD
"Proto-Baggins" and "Samwise Gam-she" had me rolling, brilliant!
Except she's more of a took than a baggins.
@@qbasicmichael Ι think it refers more to the character archetype than the in-universe lineage.
"There are those, who call me... Tim!" got me. I hope, they fight a fearsome rabbit in the next season!
Thanks! That helped me remember where that reference was from!
I hope honest trailer make a video : Honest trailer Monty python and the holy grail movie
No messing with a Tim! Enchantment!
They couldn't drift any further from the lore anyway, so no harm in turning it into a Monty Python movie really. Too bad they'd bungle that too big time.
Alright Boris, chop his head off!
I had more pleasure watching this than watching the actual show.
So that’s the elf guy’s name! I watched the whole season and swear they never said his name.
The show-runners looked through Tolkien’s writings and said “Naw, we’re better story tellers than the best-selling, most beloved fantasy author of all time.”
They literally said something along those lines
Yep they thought they could do better, what a joke
I figured it was more along the lines of: "We hates nasty white English male authorses!"
This crap is problematic and we can do better than what Tolkien did... The "modern audience": This show sucks...
they tried to read the cliff notes version but it was written funny 😂
"Prince During going from alloys to allies with his B.F.Elf" See? this is why I come here
The humorous epithets that you have given to each of the characters are such ingenious references!
I sincerely appreciate the Mitchell and Webb line “are we the baddies” lol
The happy chemicals were released
This Is America!
@@drphot6050 Wow, what an unproductive comment.
I understood that reference. 😉
i had to scroll too damn far for this comment
"Ten years since we asked to leave," showing the river scene from the second Hobbit movie... I love/hate how perfectly you captured the experience of watching that film!
I gave up on the franchise mid way through the two towers, feel more justified than ever after seeing that
The original LOTR movies benefited from an extended edition. The Hobbit movies would have benefited from a condensed edition - no Radaghast, no necromancer, and severely cut sequences in goblin town, the river escape, all the Laketown subplots, Tauriel, arkenstone, Battle of the Five Armies. Could probably trim a good 2 hours out and make a more interesting movie.
I love Desolation. It's easily the best Hobbit movie and the second best Middle Earth movie behind ROTK.
Whatever, I love The Hobbit movies
@@drxym Eh, it's dragged out sure, especially compared to the source material. But still a fun ride imo.
I was actually very excited for this series... I couldn't watch more than three episodes.
same but i didnt even watched it after i understand how shitty it was
"Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Sauron" got me dead😭😂
“Matt Smith and Orlando Bloom in a blender”!!!😂😂😂 Best…line…EVER!!!! 😂😂😂
I now cannot unsee it.

ok Lord Corlys.
The north remembers
"A Successful Rebranding Effort" - okay, got the literal LOL on that one.
"Brought you by amazon" - cracked me up :v
"She's not Cate Blancheyet" slayed me. "Dude only loves hanging out with short people and smoking pipe weed--AND HE'S ALL OUT OF PIPE WEED" brought me back, and slayed me again.
So so good
I legit just learned that that is supposed to be the same character. ...and i'm not buying it.
@@ZeroB4NG Same character, but nearly 2,000 years earlier.
The Matt Smith and Orlando Bloom in a blender bit got to me. That description will stay with me till Season 2.
@@jchildermass5833 That was such a good line. :D
6:23 "Amazon presents: The Lord of the Round Thing - The small objects of power"...
Ok, I was smirking and nodding...but when you got to "Matt Smith & Orlando Bloom In A Blender" I lost it! Laughed so loud I scared my dog!
"Brought to you by Amazon" I lost it at that. Perfect.
"where evil destroys the land in a blind lust for power and profit, brought to you by Amazon". Hilarious.
My favorite part was falling asleep exactly 12 minutes into each episode.
Then u would aslo like netflixes witcher. The only thing that makes it better than RoP is Henry Cavill... Or, should i say, were.
You might need to see a doctor about that.
Love the Mitchell and Webb reference!
Oh man, Proto Baggins really got me. That's such an expertly-crafted pun.
I DIED at "Tommy Wiseau Elf"! "Oh, hi, Mark!" Spot on.
It's easy to understand Saurons plan to propose to Galadriel in the ocean because what if she says "no", but she wouldn't possibly say "no" because of the implication...
10/10 ... but he wouldn't actually Do anything to her...right?
@@TragoudistrosMPH of course not, but she's thinking that he will because of the implication.
@@RyanMan1337 You Golden God you.
@@TragoudistrosMPH godammnit frank!
But she said no, right?
I'd like to see you guys do one for Manifest. They just released the new season and it's also a show where I feel like I need to do 'homework' just to remember everything that happened and not be totally lost.
I still can't believe that Sauron was the voice of reason and a diplomat(or an ordinary soldier) and that Galadriel only seeks vengeance and bloodshed. Someone here seems to have a split personality 🤣
That honestly checks out for a noldar though
"Are we the baddies here?" explains everything the writers were trying to achieve- we are the baddies
But then, so is everyone else. Some even more so.
Which goes against everything Tolkien was trying to say in his writing
We ARE the baddies. And this show is our punishment...
I suppose it depends who we are.
@Svenger Mc. Spazzy Hall & Oates - Out of Touch
The invading Middle E bit was so good. Fucking red, white, and blue rings! 🤣🤣🤣
This video, right now, is how I found out that the lord of the rings had a tv show out
You are so lucky
It doesn't
Wow! So many great puns, wordplays... Great job guys. Congrats!
"red white and blue weapons" america confirmed in Lord of the rings lore.
The most deflective and deceitful type of lore lol
I haven't watched an Honest Trailer in a very long time, but this was great. Especially the extended riff on the war on terror.
Better than the whole season
“This perfect dude is the dude perfect of trick shot archery” made me chuckle lol
The terrorist who destroys two symbols of elven power, so the elves invade the Middle E and plunder the earth for red white and blue weapons part cracked me up.
Omg, the part where Gandlaf caught up to Obi-Wan in Fangorn Forest and told him to "squeal like a pig!" gave me chills! What next level writing!
I thought it was the forbidden forest, and Was more interested in the following scene where john wick burst in guns blazing riding Hagrid who was transfigured into Blue the velociraptor
Yes, these reddit cut and pastes were so very droll like 6 months ago.
@@thanesgames9685 they're still gold because they're still clever satire
Nah, best part was when Jack Sparrow broke out of Azkaban after saying, "you wouldn't like me when I'm angry." Then he roared and transformed into Optimus Prime. Just insane writing.
I’m glad y’all joked about the fact that there’s so much going on at once. I swear, it’s like they crammed like a dozen different shows into one instead of following one or at least two of these subplots. It gets confusing after a while. 😂
Yep, and they didn't even mention the Queen going blind, her relationship with her sick father, who sees a vision of her experiencing darkness, to save Numenor. A place where a politician guy has another subplot with his son, who is apparently in love with the sister of Isildur, who wants a promotion or something.... Oh and the King of the Elves having an issue with Galadriel (his great aunt), becuase of the tree, so he has Celebrimbor build a tower... of some kind.... SO MANY SUBPLOTS!
@@Ex0dus111 Next season, friend, with the fall of Numenor plotline. Not everything has to come to an end at the end of the first season 🤣
@@colereeder5653 oh, I'm sure they'll introduce another 8 new side characters they randomly begin to follow. What's the relationship between Orcs and Goblins? Where are the eagles? One new character is Rob Bombadil....
Whats really baffling is that with all the stuff going on, it still manages to be really boring.
It's cuz they had no good ideas, so they crammed all their stupid ideas in the hopes that they would distract us
Matt Smith and Orlando Bloom in a blender is so accurate wtf
This made the show look more interesting than it actually is! 😂
I’m glad I’m not the only one who was distracted by Sauron looking like ARAGORN from the original. Like their resemblance is unsettling. 😂 Why did they have to use an Aragorn doppelgänger to play Sauron?
epic revelations. The meteor man is not sauron but gandalf and the the hero Aragorn is in reality Sauron. No one could see it coming, shocking.
@@artolaganus LMFAO!
I think that was the intention--mirrored storylines of self-exiled kings--to hide the Sauron reveal. Doing that in conjunction with all the allusions to The Stranger being Sauron was meant to be misdirection. It half worked on me, honestly. I was pretty sure The Stranger was Gandalf, but I was distracted enough that I wasn't even thinking "Who is Halbrand, really?"
They took a page from the GOT season 8 writers: SuBvErTiNg ExPeCtAtIoNs
"It's Like Poetry, They Rhyme" oh wait, wrong franchise.
"Durin it and Durin it and Durin it well" - Hell yeah, easily my favourite character this season!
His wife, too. Such a couple!
Legend has it LLCOOLJ approves of it!
Absolutely, he Disa and Elrond are just gold on screen
Only one that is mildly likeable the rest range from forgettable (pop quiz, what is Isildur's sister's name?) to horrible people that are supposed to be the heroic leads (Galadriel).
Durin and Elrond are the best pert of the show
WOW I WAS GOING TO MISS THIS BUT NOW IM DEFINATELY GOING TO MISS THIS
3:16 "SECRET TUNNNNNEELLLL!"
"He needs Elvis healing. That means they have to go see Arwen's dad who is Steven Tyler" A quote from the writer's room.
Guys that was gold. Not one bad joke. I’m totally cackling like a maniac at work right now. I love you guys.
The "Are we the baddies?" punchline made me pause the video I was laughing so hard. The lead-up was brilliant.
@@austinkoos6842 Killed me :D
I must say that given all the material to use to troll on the show for the usual content we expect to see in an Honest Trailer, I am quite disappointed with this one and can’t help but wonder if they were instructed to take it easy (either by Amazon or by the Screen Junkies producers, that have links to Amazon). This is definitely one of the weaker Honest Trailers they’ve ever done.
The "Scrooge McDuck cartune" reference cracked me up and forced me to pause the video. I hadn't laughed that hard since the meta reference in the She-Hulk video.
I even laughed at the "ugh" part
Hysterical! Loved every second of the video.
ARE THERE SERIOUSLY GOING TO BE 5 SEASONS OF THIS????
"a permanent case of smirk"... i will use this in my real life if it kills me! LMAOOOO
Has anyone here taken a look at Aegon from HotD? A whole bunch of people thought that his permanent smirk was created with prosthetics. No! The actor does look like that.
"have you ever wondered what is out there?" says a harfoot who is constantly out there and non-stop traveling
I gotta hand it to whomever wrote the script for this. It was absolutely hilarious with the puns.
This content is edited better than the whole ROP series. Have that in mind...
I think this is the most positive trailer on this channel because it presents the show in a neutral light xD.
Cause, you know, calling Amazon's plans for the Rings of Power a defilement of the IP creator's corpse is "neutral". Sadly, you just can't be too harsh on a diversity stuffed cast online, hence the "neutrality". But I would point out- all the elves should be black is a REALLY big dig at the so-called "diversity" of Rings of Power. Race swapping all the elves to black would have made WAY more sense- and provided WAY more non-tokenism opportunities for diverse actors- than the small pockets of racial diversity in supposedly homogenous, relatively small communities that were depicted. But strange pockets of wildly diverse small communities versus diversity between country/RACES is not representative of the real world, right? These shows aren't "woke" or "progressive", they're interpretations of what HIGHLY conservative minds THINK is progressive. Look no further than the producer- Amazon- for proof of how anti-progress this show is from the foundation up.
The stranger had me dying😂😂😂
People thought I was weird and made it up. Proof that it's real 😅
This will now be the most minutes...in a row... ive sat thru Ringpiece of Powerdump
You went a bit easy on them…just give me the meat, and give it to me raw!
4:57-5:15 The fact that Honest Trailers made allusions and references to 9/11, the invasion in Iraq, and the war against terrorism through the lore of the new LotR series is astounding to say the least. Kudos for them for letting it sneak undetected into the video without causing controversial disputes.
I'd say it's been detected by pretty much everyone
I'm scrolling the comments looking for butthurt Americans lol

@@drphot6050 Wow, I had no idea Vietnam was in the Middle East. And look at who you are defending. The Viet Cong, Saddam Hussein, and the Taliban. Cruel and repressive regimes that oppressed their own people. Are you sure you aren't the baddie?
