There are many quality moments in The Rings of Power Season 2, but Amazon cuts them short. What seems really cool to see isn't given much detail. We have a lot of first time content that isn't capitalized on.

Cool scenes are rushed and too much time is given to cheesy plotlines. In this episode, Philip and Mark discuss the lore on screen for the first time, along with the moments that were great and the moments that need improvement. #theringsofpower #lotr #lordoftherings #tolkien #tombombadil #ents #entwife #amazonprimevideo #lore #rushed #rop 00:00 Overview 01:07 Introduction 02:18 Elves and the Barrow-wights 04:29 Barrow-wights Timeline and Geography Inaccuracy 07:42 Brief Moments/References with the Lore/Movies 10:57 Worldview and Amazon's Vision 15:09 Harfoots, Stanger, and Tom Bombadil 19:15 Tom Bombadil Lacks Random Jolly 24:37 Tom's Ideal Life 26:49 Ents, Worm, and Cheesy Love 30:43 Arondir: Standout Elven Actor 32:48 More Ents 37:29 Final Thoughts 42:40 Conclusion

There are a lot of things Amazon could’ve taken advantage of in The Rings of Power. It seems as though the interesting moments are cut short, such as the barrow-wights and the ents (i.e. entwife) in episode 4.

It seems that the characters in 'The Rings of Power' act a little too goofy for a show that wants to be a little more serious. #middleearth #rop #tolkien

The Rings of Power Season 1 had some deadly flaws, and one might be how well subsequent media works as a prequel. There is nothing after LOTR since we know the ending, and fans are pretty satisfied with the content we already have (i.e. LOTR). #podcast #tolkien #ROP #subsequentmedia #lotr
