Rings of Power Season 2 DOUBLES DOWN On Cringe! | Amazon Bracing For Another Woke DISASTER

[Music] season one of Lord of the Rings the rings of power on Amazon Prime video was a complete and total disaster even though it was beloved by the critics it was maligned by the audience and at the end of the day the most important factor people didn't watch it the most expensive Series in television history and only 37% of people actually saw it through all the way to the end that's how turned off people were by what they tried to do and of course as much as the showrunners and the producers surrounding this in the leadup to season 1 said we're all about honoring the world of tolken we're all about honoring the lore of Middle Earth that clearly couldn't be further from the truth as their agenda was consistently put ahead of actually telling great stories Time After Time After Time and now in the leadup to season 2 after the first season's miserable disaster we've seen that fans haven't really forgotten about the damage they did with season 1 despite the fact that they're just trying to get people to focus on oh a bunch of big battles you guys like battles don't you it hasn't really won over the audience but one thing particularly that seems to be turning a lot of people off is one of the same things that turned people off about season 1 this idea of Sauron and gadriel in some weird almost romantic connection between the two of them it's absolutely insane but they're doubling down on that for season 2 rings of power season 2 is fully leaning into enemies to lovers this is just what we kind of got done with when it comes to the acolyte when randomly in the middle of the acolyte one of the female protagonists suddenly gets the hots for just an evil piece of [ __ ] this entire female fanfiction fantasy that they have in their minds the I can save him type of thing where despite all the evil all the Terrible Things the person that they are for some reason women have this fantasy and they want to see it play out un unfortunately when you try to do these things in male dominated franchises often times one it doesn't make any [ __ ] sense and two it gets absolutely rejected by the fans the rings of power season 2 promos play up gadriel and sauron's ambiguous tension this is all a result of one writers who want to put their fantasies into this story where it doesn't belong and two them trying to appeal to this weird modern audience the same modern audience that Star Wars just failed to appeal to with the acolyte the shipping Community that's who they're doubling down on hanadriel fans listen up rings of Power Star morf Clark says gadriel and Sauron have a cosmic connection here it is there's some sort of cosmic connection there exclusive Morphin Clark says she agrees with Charlie vicker's theory that gadriel and Sauron are psychologically connected and in other ways too rings of Power Star morphic Clark says she agrees with Sauron actor Charlie vicker's theory that gadriel and the Dark Lord are connected by their psyche which could put her in terrible danger I'd agree with him I think they're both magical powerful beings and I think there's something lonely to existing in that kind of sphere they're both in but yeah there's some sort of cosmic connection which I've heard Charlie mention a few times I was like nice I like that yeah and it'll go on for thousands and thousands of years here's another quote from her as we know gadra was fooled by her Newfound Friend Hall brand she was the only person who was fooled the audience from the first line that Charlie utter it was clear that he was Sauron they tried to throw a bunch out the red herrings that didn't work it was pathetic riding who was later on masses or arch nemesis Sauron be the end of season 1 looking forward to season two we expect the elf driven by Vengeance because of this betrayal something Clark thinks also links the two it's terrible to have misjudged someone as gadriel did with him so I think that also kind of binds her to him because she doesn't make mistakes like that and he'll forever be the person who deceived her and tricked her I think there's something really interesting about the fact that even though she knows now hbr is Sauron there's a sense of loss there ads New Adar actor she sort of has a hole where hbr once was and even though she was deceived it's really kind of Twisted and dark and interesting appealing to the shippers and trying to create something that does not exist this romantic personal connection between Sauron and gadriel uh when we talk about tolken like rolling over in his grave with some of the things that have been happening this is one of those things and they are doubling down on it for season two we're starting to see some reviews from the critics who just loved season 1 already start to come out but there's no doubt that tolken fans just like they did for season 1 are going to have a massive problem with some of the way these characters are portrayed the fact they're trying to portray Sauron as someone that you should be sympathetic to in this era at this time frame in Middle Earth is absolutely insane and ridiculous and the fact that they want this whole thing this shipper thing between gadriel and Sauron it truly is pathetic let me know your thoughts about all this in the comments section below smash a like button subscribe to the channel ring the bell for notification
