I enjoy watching his breakdowns as well as other videos to better understand the characters and events.

Spoiler if you didn't watch ep.3

 

[IDAFC21]

At least things are starting to pick up. Sorta. Getting a better overall picture now at least

 

[Mook]

I'm really trying to like this but it's such a struggle. I just don't find anyone interesting... Maybe the Captain that was introduced this ep.

The midgets just annoy the shit out of me.

 

[IDAFC21]

I cant remember any of the characters names in this show except for galadriel and nori

 

[Mook]

The story itself is just flat out boring.

 

[03GTGreen]

Feel like it's def just story building to be dragged on for seasons to come

 

[sickmint79]

it's definitely background fodder for me, although i watch a lot of shows like that.

Having a hard time getting into this, especially with HotD running in unison. The best way I can describe it is in a quote from the Big Lebowski…..

“How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm once they've seen Karl Hungus.”

Its kind of mind boggling to me that the master plan was to assume 100% of the orcs were in the tunnel.

 

[03GTGreen]

They def dicking us for multiple seasons with only 3ep left.... in the grand scheme of it, I think it may be worth it in the long run. Show is definitely interesting discovering the history of middle earth.

I guess I’m enjoying it more than everyone else so far. Some of it is definitely slow but that’s expected. I mean the whole first movie was slow with so much character development and we still haven’t even seen enough to compare to the first movie being it was 3 hours long lol. I’ll keep watching, it’s better than anything else I’m watching right now.

I'm only 2 episodes in and so far, I like it too. I don't get all the fuss about this show or House of Dragons either. People need to chill the fuck out sometimes and remember they're watching a fake thing that somebody just made up.

 

[sickmint79]

you mean you don't want to cry about elves being black?

there's things to critique the show/writing on, but that is a pretty moronic hot take people are having.

 

[Mook]

No one in here is having that hot take.

I didn't mean this thread, just in general what I've seen posted online about it.

My 15 year old and I are watching, we enjoy it. I think it's building. And they are doing a good job of managing multiple characters and story lines.

god damn, that chick that plays Earien

slow is -slowly- picking up steam

This episode definitely picks up momentum.

Not everyone in popular TV shows or movies has to be white:

~~The U.S. is now 57.8% white, 18.7% Hispanic, 12.4% Black and 6% Asian.

The episode wasn't bad but it's still just a fucking drag. And the acting is all over the place.

Totally.
I mean Morgoth and Sauron were super dark
Can't confirm demographics of imaginary Middle Earth yet alone Arda.

I think Galadriel’s real name, Morfydd, is weirder than her character name. And I am kinda pissed that they don’t show her body in any of the water scenes…cmon man.
