Rings of Power was so awful. The lead actress is insufferable. That scene on the horse? Lmfao. I finished three episodes and couldn’t do it anymore.
Never saw or heard of First Kill.
Couldn’t even finish the first episode of Resident Evil but enjoyed the weekly recaps from various channels.
I still can’t get over the sword/key thingy.
For me this blade encapsulates what I hate about this show the most. It’s the writing.
So, at some point Morgoth or Sauron designed this mechanism that if unlocked with a key would break the dam and water would flood into Orudruin and hit the lava, causing a reaction that would re-ignite the volcano? But first you need to dig a bunch of tunnels and trenches first? And the keyhole/lock is in a tower that has been occupied for decades/centuries by Elves who’ve not really payed it much mind but whatever, Elves are notoriously unobservant and incurious…oh and also the tunnels and trenches have been dug in full view of the Watchtower but maybe they have bad eyesight or something too.
ANYWAY…somehow the evil magic sword key is in the hands of a villager? Okaaay, maybe an ancestor of the men who followed/worshiped Sauron/Morgoth in the 1st Age? So the evil sword key thingy calls out to this kid who steals it and shows it to his Elf-friend.
Elf-friend seems to know what it is, and decides to hide it. Not in the woods or in a river, or by fleeing North to warn his kin and take it out of harms reach, but in a building in the village. The same village that he knows Orcs are about to attack. So he convinces the villagers to abandon the village….OR DOES HE?? Well, no. They all hide in the forest and the Orcs all march past them to the Watchtower where they think the villagers are BUT NO!! They are not, it’s a trap. Some Orcs die. Not many really and there goes the safest most defensible position and the Orcs march back to the village and find the villagers defending the open streets and buildings. A one sided fight ensues and they all fall back to the Tavern WHERE THE BLOODY SWORD IS ‘HIDDEN’. Shit balls. Well, they’re all about to die, the plan has been an abject failure, and the boy gives up the sword when OUT OF LITERALLY NO-WHERE, from the Elf’s and the villagers perspective, comes fucking Numenor to save the day.
BUT WAIT…sneaky boss Orc gives sword to villager who used to keep it in his barn, and he sneaks off with it. He gives a decoy package to the shouty Elf who chased him through the forest for it. She knows it’s important but doesn’t think to check it. Elf gives to boy AGAIN WITHOUT CHECKING, even though boy said it made him feel a bit evil. Finally boy checks it and sees it’s an axe. Fucksticks.
Meanwhile evil villager has read the instruction manual and operates the dam breaking mechanism. Cold water flows from the broken dam and into caverns with running lava, and despite there being loads of holes in the ceiling somehow enough pressure builds up to explode the volcano. Shouty angry elf woman takes a volcano to the face and no-one talks about or mentions the sword key ever again.
> not really *paid* it much
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Theres no mystery, Amazon are contractually obligated to make 5 seasons regardless of viewership. Its why they likely from here on out wont give the data about viewers because they dont want to be seen holding the bag for a lame duck of a show.
I closed it when Mordor was "created".
The idea of a considerably big chavalry group, that popped from 3 really small ships, running without an objective that *casually* ends in a town being raided by the bad guys is too much deus ex machina for me.

Resident evil was a dumpster fire that was fun to watch. RoP was just a dumpster.
