Welcome to the Rings of Trash where Bezos hires writers with a special talent called disconnective narration. Enjoy your stay

One thing they did get right are the visuals and cinematography. Absolutely stunning, that's where most of the budget went. But it's doesn't make interesting discussions

Forsure I even complimented to scale armour out loud when watching the last episode.

Unfortunately I watched the first episode of the new GoT series last night as well and I think that also impacted how I felt about the last LOTR episode. While yes they shouldn't be compared I actually wanted to binge into the next episode.

I hope for season 2 if LOTRs show that actually stop and ask themselves if it makes sense.

Oh and another thing. How the hell did they sail from numanor to middle earth in the time it took orcs to basically walk up and down a hill. They make the world feel like this tiny trivial spec.

Just absolute trash writing.

Now you cannot unsee it. Makes you wonder if this was done intentionally or the most expensive incompetency blunder of TV show history.

yeah its pretty bad

"How did he take what to do with it" literally a scene where dude was like "I have an important task for you" yes it cuts off there but use your brain to extrapolate the conversation that took place.

So these orcs were able to tunnle unnoticed that entire time by these overseeing elfs and they couldn't just open the dam without needing this key by just knocking out a stone?

The writing of the Southlands story line is wild.

Also I need to go back and look but didn't the orcs ravage that village that they originally left for the tower but then went back and it was in perfect shape?

They had to endure uskipable cut scenes. Reminds me of scumbag Gandalf and his griffons could of flown over Mt doom and just dropped the ring into lava or at the very least skipped a large part of the journey. Although in his defense they would of lost the element of surprise and would run the risk of facing the Nazgul fellbeast wyverns etc. But the dam was just there unguarded with a few rocks holding it together.

It seems they leaving a lot of blanks for the audience to fill in. Would be fine if it had more continuity instead the watcher is calling bs.

Yea as a younger adult the scene where they just fly away from Mount Doom at the end never really bothered me, as an adult I always ask why they didn't just fly there to begin with which ofcourse would result in no movie so i'm okay with stuff like that.

I'd also be fine with this key thing letting the dam go if there wasen't so many other glaring issues and inconsistencies, it makes a person overly critical. Until episode 6 I didn't feel overly critical, and then that episode broke the camel's back.
