The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power 1x01 Reaction

What’s exactly woke about it?

The conversation dynamic of Lola loving/knowing LoTR (but not knowing the Silmarillion plot) and Milena knowing literally nothing about anything is killing me😂 Might enjoy these joint reactions to this more than the show itself lol

Shame this wasn't Wheel of Time instead :p

I like it. LOTR movies were very good, struggled with the books.. Hobbit book & movies loved them more than LOTR, both versions, Never read anything else and not caught up in the lore, but really liking this series already.

Waiting for violet evergarden reaction

*fandom

A very important thing to know about this show is that they do not have the rights to the Silmarillion book. They only have rights to the LOTR books and the Hobbit So, they can use for example the characters Sauron and Galadriel (and others), and they can use historical stories that are mentioned in the books they have the rights to They can't actually portray on screen the exact events of the Silmarillion So the show is going to be based on historical fluff that's mentioned in the books they have rights to (mostly ancient songs and legends briefly mentioned) But the plot will unavoidably be a new retelling not written by Tolkien I don't care about that, I'm looking forward to it. But a large section of the fantom will hate it 🙂

Loving this viewing dynamic you two have of a super fan and someone who’s coming in fresh. Can’t wait for these discussions

Really glad to see you guys are checking this out! I really enjoyed these first two episodes and it really reminded me of what I love about this franchise, both the books and the movies. It's a shame about what the comment section, particularly on youtube, will inevitably turn into. But hopefully, you guys can tune that all out and just focus on the show itself. It'll certainly be a challenge.

Like Lola, I had a smile on my face for much of this episode. Very excited to see where this series goes. There have been some obvious changes from the source material but so far lots of them make sense from an adaption perspective.

A warning for you, this show is causing controversy on the internet, for nothing, the comment session will be a challenge in the youtube

Yes Letsss goooo ❤😊

i actually watched the episodes twice already, once yesterday and today with my sister, so i guess i'll watch the reaction tomorrow so i don't get tired of watching it over and over

surprised you guys are supporting this show...
