_I actually really respect Amazon Prime for this._ There are very few companies that would be willing to lose this much money just to insult Tolkien. I don't know what he did to Amazon, but that's some dedicated revenge.

Many people don't know that when Galadriel spins her sword at 2:26 it's actually a reference to J.R.R. Tolkien spinning in his grave. That's what I call a masterclass in Cinematography.

This comment section has single-handedly restored my faith in humanity.

Nothing screams Tolkien like modern music. 10/10

The scene were Gimli looked into Gandalfs eyes and lovingly said "Luke, I am your father" made me cry my eyes out.

There are two things time can't heal: A stab from a Morgul blade and the mental damage from watching Rings of Power

You know the writers weren't paying attention when they made the sailors say the sea is always right and then the top sailor said his wife drowned

After watching RoP I'm starting to understand Saurons desire to destroy middle earth.

It began with the forging of the great films. Threads were given by Tolkien, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Rights were granted to Jackson, great miner and craftsman of the mountain of lore. And nine, nine hours were gifted to the race of men, who above all else, desire quality. But they were all of them deceived, for another show was made. In the land of Amazon, in the fires of Mount Prime, the Dark Lord Bezos forged in secret a master flop. And into this show he poured his money, his greed and his will to dominate all film. One show to ruin them all. EDIT: This comment really blew up! Now wish I had listened to the original audio before writing, as there are a few bits missing. Hence, I went back and improved (in my view) upon the original. Matching it closer to the text (number or total syllables etc). * * * * I amar prestar aen. The world is changed. Han mathon ne nen. I feel it in the writing. Han mathon ne chae. I feel it in the dearth. A han noston ned wilith. I smell it in despair. Much that once was, is lost. Though most still live and remember it. It began with the forging of the great films. Threads were given by the Tolkiens. Immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Rights passed to Jackson, great miner, and craftsman of the mountain of lore. And nine, nine hours were gifted to the race of men, who above all else, desire value. For within these films was bound the style and worth to guide the fanbase. But they were all of them deceived, for another show was made. In the land of Amazon, in the fires of Mount Prime, the Dark Lord Bezos forged in secret a master flop, to destroy all culture. And into this show he poured his cupidity, his money, and his will to dominate all film. One show to ruin them all.

"Alright, guys, our trailers and reveals have been universally mocked. We've got to step it up big time for this trailer. What should we put in it to bring in Tolkien fans?" "Howabout that line, 'Our hearts, even bigger than our feet?'" "Perfect!"

Some shows are great. Most are bad. Very few rise to the level of "crimes against humanity". Truly, a remarkable achievement.

For anyone wondering: this video now has 78k likes and 4.2 million dislikes.

I've never seen so much hate towards a series, that hasn't even aired yet. My faith in humanity has been restored.

"Without it [sword], what am I to be?" Did they seriously write Galadriel, one of the oldest beings in Middle Earth who witnessed the light of the two trees, as having her identity tied to her weapon and life as a warrior?

Everything is different, the music,the conversations, the accents, even the vocabulary, the loudness of the show there is this level of calmness and peace in the lord of the rings that isn't found here.

this series did a great job at uniting the fandom of lotr against it

Remember guys, removing the dislikes was to help small creators.

This is the best explanation of why YT no longer shows how many dislikes there are.

The lord of the rings gave me goose bumps in so many scenes in each movie. The emotions were really high. But the rings of power didn't give me that feeling once

I love Lord of the Rings, and it never entered my mind to watch a minute of this show.

At the moment when Galadriel says "You're a wizard, Gandalf" I almost cried. Such a beauty

One trilogy to win them all One trilogy to cash them One show to lose them all And into the nostalgia bind them

I loved the scene where Galadriel pulled out a warhammer and roared: GALADRIEL SMASH!

“It's not about the money, it's about sending a message” - Galadriel, as she burns down a pile of cash.

I'd say we've solved the problem of renewable energy, as fast as Tolkien is spinning in his grave right now we can certainly use him as an electricity generator for the whole world...

OH I Finally Watched the show… And I rewatched All three Lord of the Rings movies To gain Back my senses

It always send chills on my spine when ever I remember the scene where Gandalf said to Elrond "No body know who I was until I put on the mask" then Elrond in a panic over hearing what Gandalf said shouted "Cowwabunga!" as put the pedal to the metal and drove the Mystery machine straight into a wall near platform 9 and 3 quarters.

"Our hearts, even bigger than our feet." THE.C.R.I.N.G.E

The fact that it’s being released on the date that Tolkien passed away is an even bigger disrespect to his legacy, absolutely disgusting

The scene where Bilbo looked into Gimli's eyes and said "Jesse, we need to cook", made my heart melt..

The scene where Sauron looked at Galadriel and said "You met me in a very strange time in my life" then held hands and watched buildings collapse while playing "Where is my mind" in the background was phenomenal.

Elrond said, "Hey Galadriel, have you ever been mistaken for a man?". Galadriel answered, "No. Have you?" such brilliant writing, even Tolkien himself would be ashamed.

I was hooked from Galadriel's opening line: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and lookaround once in a while, you could miss it". I'm shaking with anticipation. Not even Tolkien could envision such a majestic quest to the distant lands of downtown Chicago.

the scene where galadriel put the power rings in the infinity gauntlet, i was really moved there

I recently started watching lord of the rings and the hobbit. They all made me cry. The themes of honour and loyalty, love and respect were clearly seen and felt that it brought me to tears. The amount of hope was astonishing, and that one small decision can change everything. I made me feel like I was in the movie. That no matter how significant or small you think you are, you do matter. The previous shows had warmth this one does not. It is boring and lacks impact. Really disappointing

The scene where Galadriel has Sauron on the witness stand and says "I want the truth!" And Sauron screams "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!" is especially hair raising to me.

Me: “I wish this series never came out.” *crying* Gandalf: “So do all who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide, all they can do is decide what to do with the time that is given to them.” Me: *Re-watches Peter Jackson’s movies and re-reads books*

Admitting this thing flopped was probably the most adult thing you guys have done in a long long time congratulations! You've taken your first step into a larger world.

My favorite part of The Lord of the Rings was when Frodo said, "Get off the road!" and Doc Brown put on his sunglasses and coolly replied, "Where we're going we won't need roads."

At this point, the comments are the reason I'm here. The production of them, is stunning. Well done. Tolkien would be proud of you all.

When the hobbit said his heart was bigger than his feet, I clapped. Tolkien was an absolute genius!

Go Galadriel!! Go and don't you ever dare to comeback !

Ive never seen so many dislikes on a official trailer

The shot of Galadriel running from the White Walkers, climbing the ice wall……. 😂

The part galadriel spins her sword and Yells "its rings of power time" really had me choking up yall

Please bring me back PETER JACKSON !!!!

Cant wait for the spinoff 'Azog the Defiler takes comedians out for coffee'

"I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold And leaves of gold there grew Of wind I sang, a wind there came And in the branches blew But if of ships I now should sing, What ship would come to me? What ship would bear me ever back Across so wide a sea?" -Galadriel in LotR "My brother gave his life hunting the enemy. His task is now mine" *Picks up dagger* -Galadriel in RoP It's as if these were two entirely different characters

"It's in times like these that you wish UKposts still had a dislike bar" - J.R.R. Tolkien

My god after watching first two episodes i had to go back and watch the LOTR movies as an antidote to counteract the poison that was fed to me

I love how Amazon still refer to this as a "hit show".

"Each of us, everyone, shall decide who we shall be" Tolkien: who the fuck are these people?

Wow... To be alive and finally see galadriel helping luigi and mario save the princess... Such a wonderful moment.

Rest in dirt, Rings of Power

Never ever I wanted Orcs to Win so bad.

Truly incredible how a company can spend $750,000,000 and not hire competent writers.

The part were Elrond says ''This is my ninja way'' and proceeded to Naruto run was breathtaking!

This show is the reason I don't get excited when someone wants to make a film or a show of something I like, this show is the reason that anytime someone wants to make a film or a show of something I like I go "please don't"

The people involved in the making of this should be held accountable for crimes against humanity

*TO ALL TOLKIEN FANS reading this... DO NOT BOW!* Stay strong and don't let these ignorant, alienated and greedy people misrepresent Tolkien's legacy!

"Hearts bigger than our feet". What an absolute gold nugget of dialogue. Tolkien couldn't have done it better!

Came here just to see dislike count. 702k. And its only a low estimate. I wonder if it hit 2M with all of the people without return dislike button. As for the show - it's quality is what you flush down the toilet.

'Our hearts are bigger than our feeeet! Deeerrr!' - Emmy in the making

Meanwhile at Google HQ: "I don't understand, we got rid of the dislike bar, people should LOVE this series now."

When Galadriel asks Sauron “tell me, do you bleed?” And continues with “You will.” I felt that, Zack Tolkien is truly a genius.

PETITION TO REMOVE THE SHOW FROM ANY DIGITAL PLATFORM EVER. It should be banned for eternity.

No one but Peter Jackson shouldve had the license to make this show

I’ll miss the early 2000’s. I’ll just replay the old 3 movies.

I have a friend who finished episode one of ROP and she was worried about not knowing the story as she hasn’t read The Silmarillion or LOTR ... Told her “Neither has Amazon so don’t worry about it.”

687k dislikes to 64k likes

The fact that this was released on the date that Tolkien passed away is an even bigger disrespect to his legacy. "The past is dead. We either move forward or we die with it." No way they included this line coincidentally. Disgustingly disrespectful.

The moment Aragon said "I don't have friends, I got family" gave me Chills....

Hopefully this made gen z discover Peter Jackson at least.

I guess the sea was always right. The sea of Tolkien fans saying this is terrible.

Not gonna lie... Using Hanna Montana's "Born in the USA" song really elevate this trailer and brings Tolkien's universe to real life. So brave.

When Sauron looked at Gimli and said "You're a wizard, Gimli" i began crying. That statement was so well captured, i bet George Lucas is proud.

70k likes 750k dislikes well, what can be the cause...

This show had me rooting for Sauron. And I didn't even watch it.

After Galadriel said "Hasta la Vista, baby" I couldn't stop my tears... Everything according to the book. J.R.Tolkien-Connor is one of the greatest authors and poets of all times

I like how the male dwarves look like dwarves and the female dwarf looks like a strong, independent woman who in no way resembles a dwarf.

When Galadriel was pointing her gun at the orc's face and said "Do You Feel Lucky, Punk?" and the orc dismantled his male privilege. That was so efing stuning a brave truly a movie ever made.

The fact they think they can re-create a masterpiece without J.R.R Tolkien is funny

"You have fought long enough, Galadriel. Put up your sword." "Without it, what am I to be?" The character Tolkien created for starters.

I can see J.R.R Tolkien jamming to this music in his 2022 Bugatti. He would absolutely love it!

Corporations will never understand or tap into the mind of a genius

Big companies really have a great way of ruining amazing things, I just don’t know how they do it

They can call us toxic, retrograde, reactionary and say that this is "review bombing"... One sentence: Not my Tolkien.

"Look how they massacred my boy" - J.R.R. Tolkien

17M and 72K Likes, Somethings wrong I can feel it.

You can clearly tell the writers and directors of this NEVER have been in the vicinity of anything tolkien has made, ever

"Without it, what am I to be?" Answer: The actual Galadriel.

The moment Sauron said, "Give me Game of Thrones" and proceeded to drop a fat stack of cash for the rights to destroy middle earth was really riveting.

68k likes VS 734k dislikes: 22nd April 2023

I must admit that Amazon is very brave to make a second season of this series... I don't understand how they could do something so bad with such a good IP, they should fire JD Payne and McKay, accept that their work was a fiasco and restart the project

The fact that the very first lyrics to the weird song in this trailer are "speak your truth" is so perfect. This show is going to bomb so hard.

I love that Galadriel acknowledges that she is nothing without her sword Mjölnir and can’t wait to see her say: “By the power of Grayskull I have the power” as narrated in the book.

I love how almost every comment is just slating this appalling series by Amazon. Faith in humanity restored.

"Despite a billion dollar spend, just 37% of viewers finished Amazon's Rings of Power". I question the sanity of those 37 percent.

Finally, a fandom that has united against the butchering of it's universe. I'm proud of all of you.

I love, that they are bringing Palpatine back a third time. So brave despite all the backlash. What do you think Galadriels last name is? Boy, i sure hope she is a Kenobi.
