Rings Of Power Season 1 REVIEW - The Desolation of Tolkien

I don’t care what they tell you in school, Sauron stole all his wigs from black Dwarf queens.

"We wanted to take this brilliant *fantasy* world, and like, turn it into the real world." That's a great *fantasy* series right there...

Nothing about this show represents Tolkien's works. They can use the names all they want, it will never be Tolkien because they never read and understood his works.

Galadriel: "There's an imposter among us!" Sauron with blonde wig and pointy ears: "I dunno. Galadriel is kinda sus."

Here's my solution. I'm stealing this idea from Dallas and Newhart. Have Cate Blanchett, as Galadriel, wake up and tell us about this bizarre dream she had and say that she will never, ever smoke pipeweed with Gandalf again.

“I don’t know, Amazon. Why does a dumpster fire burn, and a toilet flush?” 😂😂😂

I LOVED the Hobbit as a kid, we read it pretty much once a year as a family. I never noticed there weren't any women in it until someone told me in college and I am a woman. If you can't enjoy fiction without people who look like you then there's something wrong with you

“Do you know why a cow moos and a duck does not? It is because the cow fixes its gaze on a fence post while it chews. Or some shit like that.” - Rings of Power writer, probably

As a woman, I'd like to say how much I don't give a flying crap about female dwarves.

The worst part is that Tolkien’s works are already diverse. One of the major themes is different races getting along, thus the creation of the fellowship. Some of the major themes - Legolas and Gimli becoming best friends, despite deep seated distrust between the races. There’s an entire section of Galadriels kindness to Gimli changing his perception forever on elves. Hobbits - a race of small folk that can be classified as useless compared to elves, men and dwarves, becoming heroes of the entire middle earth. There’s diversity everywhere in the story….its called…a metaphor.
