Amazon Studios decided to step up their game a few years ago by spending something like 250 million dollars on the rights to make a Lord of the Rings TV show. And then to make sure it was really good they spent another 750 million on production. So there you have it. One billion dollars! Instant classic, guaranteed! Right? Thatās how it works, right?
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power definitely raises some questions. Like why is Galadriel so invincible and powerful? What were the odds of her stumbling upon Sauron in the middle of the ocean? Was she really just planning on swimming across an ocean to get home? Are volcanic eruptions not a huge deal? What was with that weird Rube Goldberg set-up at Mordor?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to the The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power!

Lol I had completely forgotten about the "king Halbrand" plot line, where he's king of a couple dozen people for like a day. What a dumb show.

these pitch meetings are like the goofy cousin of Cliff's Notes. Movies/shows I don't want to watch, I just get the synopsis here. LOL

Turns out that the show writers are fans of pitch meeting and made it super easy, barely an inconvenience to make a pitch meeting episode.

The biggest problem with this show is that the Shadow of Mordor games exists š

Galadriel: "I'll help this guy to become King of the Southlands and raise an army for him"
Anybody: "And who is that."
Galadriel: "Oh, I have absolutly no idea, but he has that pendant and he's kinda hot."

Seeing this 2 years later and remembering how terrible ROP was. The contrivances, silliness, random pacing, and horrible acting. It all comes together in one big steaming pile of not-good stuff.

Unnecessarily rolling R's is TIGHT! If Galadriel had met screenwriter guy's brother instead of Sauron, they'd still be swimming together.

Just a quick question: Why exactly does adar need that sword?
All it does is opening up this teeny tiny floodgate on that dam. And adar presumably knew that this would be what it does because he had his orcs dig that canal to bring the water to mount doom. But the dam is just a mundane building made from stone. He could'va just had his orcs destroy it and achieve the same effect. He didn't need that sword at all. And yet he not only led his army into that silly battle in the village in order to claim the sword he even allowed himself to be captured in order to allow his henchman to escape with the sword. He could have just let the villagers hunker down in the village while he and his orks are up in the mountains to destroy the dam. The water flows to mount doom, mount doom erupts and the village gets destroyed anyway while adar and his orks are safe from the pyroclastic flow in the mountains.

All pitch meetings are tight. Not all shows/ movies deserve a pitch meeting. This one deserves a pitch meeting the most. Absolutely awful show.

I am a Tolkien fan. Iāve seen the movies (meh) and the extended Hobbit trilogy of random orcs (yikes), read the books a zillion times, and delved into the lore and history of Silmarillion. I once visited Oxford when Bodleian happened to have an exhibit of Tolkienās notes, sketches, and paintings. I geeked out HARD.
I made it an episode and a half into this show. I just couldnāt deal. When someone can read Silmarillion – a labor of love, not a relaxing task – but not figure out your odd tv show loosely based on the universe therein, you have a problem.
