Drinker's Chasers - Rings of Power Humiliated: Only 1/3 Of Viewers Finished It

Journalists: "Toxic fans are abandoning Amazon's smash hit Rings of Power, and that's a good thing"

1/3 of people probably died of boredom and were included in the count due to autoplay features

The first episode told me everything I needed to know about this show. In that scene in the snow and ice, Galadriel is showing point by point that she is the very definition of a toxic leader. Yet the writers think the very things that make her toxic are actually commendable attributes.

"You're not supposed to be representing our world, you're supposed to represent Tolkien's world." Spot on brother. That hand gesture from Mr. Magnus there is a perfect symbol for how we all feel on that subject. The core problem with Hollywood is that they keep taking these ideas from great writers and twisting them to say what they want them to say.

I don't know if those 1/3 viewers deserve a medal or medical attention🎖🏥😁

Tolkien Lore: exists Amazon: "I'll ignore that."

I had a hearty laugh at the cutaway to the Numenoreans doing their best to kill their horses before even arriving at the Southlands village. When I was a kid I read something, a commentary on Charge of the Light Brigade or something idr, that said historically cavalry charges like the aforenamed were actually more like fast trots until they got really, really close to the enemy--only then would they start running. Otherwise the horses would get tired too early. Managing horse-endurance is a plot point in "The Name of the Wind" and "The Searchers" too.

I did watch all episodes like Drinker, but I only did so because I was caught in a perpetual loop of weekly disbelief, anger, sadness and, like Drinker, morbid curiosity. THIS SHOW IS ABSOLUTE DOGSHYTE

I like that Salke admitted she doesn’t know the difference between real life and her own “internal dialogue” - tells us all we need to know!

When your show has a worse survival rate than the Bataan death march.

it still blows my mind...this source material should've produced a blockbuster generation defining show.

Dude Disparu's articulation of the audience's feelings are just absolutely dead on, bullseye every time.

I got up to the episode where Galadriel happens to find the dude on the raft as she was swimming across THE ENTIRE FUCKING OCEAN.

As to Galadrial's strength. She was MUCH MORE powerful in the books than here. Naturally it's been a few millennia but she was always regarded for her magical prowess not swinging a sword like nearly anyone else in Middle Earth. By the War of the Ring, she was instrumental in breaking the northern pincer of Sauron's army (Battle of Lonely Mountain/ not Five Armies/ I wish it was in a film somewhere.) By this time it was stated that Sauron's minions avoided her forests because nothing less than Sauron himself could hope to overcome Galadriel's power. Power you don't get by swinging a sword like everyone else.

What got me was that their version of Galadriel was 1000 years old, yet still considered immature.

My wife and I started it as she is a huge nerd of Middle Earth. We quit after the second episode, it was so bad.

"Boats are sinky" Yes, thats how mythical eternal beings talk

I'm pretty sure more than half of those were just hate watching

“Prepare to have your expectations subverted” 😂 Oh Drinker! 😂

Tolkien was my first experience of "high fantasy". It is near and dear to my heart. I am sure I am not alone.
