Amazon thinking they can do it better
Ya rings of power show makes no sense after watching this
Thank you for sharing this thorough history of the rings with all of us. 🫶🏽
Question: if the rings of power are all sort of "linked" in a way that each wearer can sense the presence of the other wearers (which is why they were immediately aware of when Sauron put his ring on, and they took theirs off) then does this mean Gandalf, Elrond, and Galadriel could sense the other ring bearers such as Isildur, Smeagol, and Bilbo? Or did it only work for Sauron because the ring was made specifically for him?
«DESTROY IT!» -Elrond (tc 56:12, s2 e7)
Flash-forward to the bridge of Mount Doom when Elrond shouts the same line to Isildur, urging him to cast the one ring into the fire. I loved that subtle reference!🔥
What a great story. That thing on television has so little to do with it. Thank you.
Your awesome Bud keeping it alive, keeping it real and keeping it true! Thanks very much.
That is the problem with this part of the history. If Sauron had the ring when he was in Numenor, then he can carry the ring away when his is in spirit form. It follows that he could have carried the ring away when his physical form was destroyed again when he fought with Elindil and Gil-Galad.
This was an awesome video! Can you do a video on where the Ring Wraiths were during The War Of The Last Alliance?
I always learn so much from your videos! They're always well put together, concise, and informative, and I appreciate everything you do! This is definitely an important watch for those following the Rings of Power series. Thank you!!
Its interesting to read in the Silmarillion that the elves made the rings because they wanted to create Valinor in Middle Earth, rather than return there. I think that’s why they fell to Sauron’s deception, because it was in their pride they did this. Similar to the Tower of Babel
Sauron, Amazon… just saying
Wait a minute. That's not how rings of power works!!
Is there a book about this if so what’s it called please cuss I’m currently reading J.R.R Tolkien books at the moment I’ve finished the hobbit which I enjoyed very much and it was way different compared to the movie and now I’m reading the LOTR and next the children of HURIN and then the SILMARiLLiON
I still wonder how Gollum wasn’t perceived by Sauron and those who still bore the three elven rings?
What a video. 1000% better than the series.
Amazon, you are doomed without Nerd of the Rings
Great job reciting the black speech!
I don’t recall the council considering sending the one ring to Valinor. That actually sounds like it would have been the smartest option, no? But then, they couldn’t have sent a Hobbit there, and they felt they had no other ring bearer option.
Shame this video didnt exist before amazon made there current show… LOL.. They might have had a chance.
Really curious how the show will justify the Dwarves still bearing their rings after seeing what's happening to Durin currently in the show.
Hi, the musics in your short videos are awesome. Do you produce them, or Did you collect from somewhere?
I'm so much more confused now about timelines because of the show… 😆
Crying knowing Amazon cant create a lore accurate show 😭
Why didn't Gollum nor Sauron go invisible when they wore the one ring?
Excellent video. It clearly illustrates how badly RoP has deviated from what Tolkien wrote.
Even if it just a compilation video, so glad to see something other than product review or (shudder) more Rings of Power show coverage. I was just about to unsub!
Need more ads
One thing I don't understand. If the three elven rings were produces without the corruption of Sauron, why would have the one ring any power over them? Also why do they lose their power, once the One gets destroyed, if they are something separate?
Shout out to NOTR for still using Shadow of wars' version of Celebrimbor, instead of Amazon's version!
Why not just tell this story like this in the show. The shows drama could have focused so much more if it just dropped the whole hobbit/wizard storyline and focused on the creation and corruption of men and slow takeover by Sauron’s servants as this mysterious figure sews seeds
Sauron is only compared to another great villain in cinema's history that never showed his face. Sauron is a mystery, perhaos the greatest character ever put on film and he dies easilly under the hands of a woman. It's not the fact a woman defeated him, is the fact that she was not a great warrior
Far better than the show (not a joke)
Imagine a group of dwarf ringwraiths chasing the hobbits in LOTR 😂
1, 3, 7, 9… I feel like there should have been 5 rings for another group . Maybe for the wizards.
hey! Just want to say your channel is so cool and really gave me the confidence to push through dense yet amazing lore which I’ve grown to love the more I learn. Thank you!
Who else quit watching mid episode that Amazon thing. Where exactly?
If the three elven rings are for the elements, why not a fourth for earth?
Just wondering.
Great video as always.
@nerd of the rings theres something bothering me in the tv series rings of power which tbh isn't terrible and has potential , after watching your video's over 2 years iam confused firstly why is that in the time that sauron as Anatar in the second age 1500 in course have created the 3 rings of elves and the 7 for dwarves and now creating the 9 rings for men why is it that elendil and isoldor are both alive in Numenor as well as ah pharazon yet they dont come into the story intil 3000 of the second age. Secondly the dwarves of kazadoom dont discover and are driven out by the balrog until 1980 of the third age. CONFUSED
Why do people watch this woke crap?
Your breakdowns are better than the television series! Amazon needs you on their payroll
