VIDEO EXCERPTS: "We get to see my children this season..."

Believe it or not, Rings of Power season 3 is not that far off. [...] But I guess I should be grateful because the Rings of Power is the gift that keeps on giving.

They keep pouring more money into this abyss. If I didn't know that it was a massive vanity project, I would almost believe that Amazon was more concerned with the legacy and future of content creators who cover the show than with Professor Tolkien's work.

But as far as the show's legacy is concerned, well, it's a joke. It makes a mockery of Tolken's legendarium. It is subversive, derisive, and derivative. It will go down as the worst adaptation of all time. Something Amazon should be embarrassed about. And maybe they will be someday...

The "Rings of Power" is cooked, and it's getting worse

DRINKER'S CHASERS

VIDEO EXCERPTS: Speaking of things that suck, Rings of Power is coming out in a few months [laughter], and they've just released a promotional still from it. Are you ready for this?

[...] So these are Durin and Disa's children, who have grown a bit since the previous seasons. ... Actors, I guess they have to swallow their pride and do all kinds of cringe things. But this is the next level. You know, costume departments, can you just make them a bit more ugly? Could you make them like hideous?

Yeah. We just want to have a good laugh with this one. Make them look inbred. That's what I'm going for. Like The Hills Have Eyes.

[...] So the showrunners have said that there's about a 5-year time jump between seasons two and three. And it's difficult to say because of the costumes, the hair, and the prosthetics and all that, but these two goobers look like they're about 30. When they're meant to be maybe 15...

Obviously, they're dwarves, so it could be a bit different. The guy in the back [laughter], he's standing in a way where it looks like he's apologizing for existing. Maybe he'll be an idiot. Perhaps he won't even be able to speak properly...

This has to be a joke, right? ... https://youtu.be/7bb9_tNlny0
