Drinker's Chasers - Season 1: Sauron is Cringe, Galadriel is Dumb

Published 2022-10-22
So after watching an entire season of Rings of Power, we've been able to determine a couple of things with absolute certainty.

  • Deleting Galadriel's husband and child for this lousy romance plot is such a crime
  • @YouJGSousa
    The writers keep forgetting that Galadriel isn’t actual a 30 year old woman.
  • @Morbius_2022
    It’s not a post-modern show unless the only nice and respectful guy is actually a dark lord in disguise.
  • I like the part where Galadriel asked Sauron: "What is your name?" "Sauron" "Sauron who?" "Sauron Skywalker"
  • @androth1502
    imagine the elves who made the best swords and armor for thousands of years didn't know a basic concept of metallurgy that bronze age humans figured out.
  • @AtlantaGuns
    Sauron to Celebrimbor: have you tried mixing metals? Also Sauron to Picasso: have you tried mixing colors? Sauron to Gordon Ramsay: have you tried adding salt and pepper? 😂😂😂
  • Imagine someone whose been alive in our world for well over a thousand years and being like "What do you mean there's no longer a Roman Emperor?"
  • My favourite bit was when Celebrimbor said he wasn't able to do it and Galadriel said "Tony Stark built this in a cave! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!" Awesome TV
  • My 8 years old nephew figured out that Halbrand was a villain. I asked him “how can you tell?” And he said “because he acts fishy”. That goes to show how on the nose the writing is in this series that a child could see the “twist” coming. Edit: my nephew was introduced to the Peter Jackson Trilogy last year and became obsessed with them, so he wanted to watch Amazon’s series (that bored him out of his mind). He didn’t click that Halbrand was Sauron, but he deduced he was a “bad guy” very early on. If I remember correctly, during the last scene he pointed out that Halbrand is “too small to be Sauron”, because in his mind the dark lord is a 10’ tall giant in a spiky armor swinging a huge mace.

    Sauron in the lore: Presents himself in fair form to the elves as the Lord of Gifts sent by the Valar, and spends hundreds of years ingratiating himself with them and showing them how to make minor rings of magic before ultimately fooling Celebrimbor into forging the rings of power. Sauron in Amazon's abortion: "Hey, have you ever thought about melting the mithril and combing it with other metals?"
  • @fiction5559
    We all thank you for watching this shite so that we didn't have to. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.
  • @trevorp8124
    When Celebrimbor said to Halbrand "So what are you, some kind of Lord of the Rings?" is definitely when the series won me over
  • @Gorbz
    Remember how Arondir had been stationed at the Southlands watchtower for 79 or so years? He would be able to tell Galadriel that Halbrand was not king because there has not been one as long as he had been there.
  • @Gammaskalle
    I love how they combined gold, silver and mitrthril and still one ring came out looking like pure silver.
  • Tolkien had the wisdom of a thousand years forced into him through the experience of a World War. He had seen things others couldn't fathom and these experiences were translated into his stories. And it shows. Meanwhile, these show "writers" haven't ever had a tough experience. Not like Tolkien at least. They just imitate (poorly) what they seem to think are strong characters borne of tragedy, despair and challenge. And it shows.
  • Sauron, the most cunning, calculative, and manipulative villain, chose to let Guyladriel, who knew his true identity, alive. Hmm, looks smart.
  • @jamesp8164
    I’m still blown away that Galadriel knows who Sauron is AND SHE DOESN’T TELL ANYONE 🙄 And then Sauron when found out…doesn’t kill her to keep his secret. All of these people are too stupid to live.
  • @Lizardo451
    If I recall the Silmarillion properly Sauron was known but used his charisma to be accepted and trusted over decades. But the writers don't know what charisma is.
  • @joesmutz9287
    That lovely moment when the PoV character that you're supposed to be rooting for turned the series villain off a redemption arc and into a monster
