They promptly deleted it, but it was saved for posterity.

YouTube Link

Any hope I had for this show went out the window with this video.

I’m not even a big LOTR fan but that is just embarrassing.

YouTubers like Nerdrotic and Geek and Gamers have been roasting it for days

I can’t believe Amazon thought it was a good idea to put this out

Same. This is absolutely horrendous and confirms that they do not care about Tolkien's world.

Love it when these super fans have to ask why the rings were made.

And it’s just so clear they’re not Lord of the Rings fans. “Can’t wait to see my girl Galadriel!” No… that’s not how LotR mega fans talk. They talk about the intricacies of Lord of the Rings above all else. While Legolas is badass, he’s not much of a subject except in his relation to Gimli in the overall tale when it comes to the actual fans.

Say what you will about Stephen Colbert, but he’s clearly a super fan even if he’s woke as all frick. The silver lining to this series is him. He said that the Seuss Estate did the right thing by cancelling several Dr Seuss novels, where even Jimmy Kimmel ripped into him over that saying Trump will win in 2024 for sure if they keep up with this shite. But now it’s coming for his Precious, and I’m going to laugh.

I'll be canceling my Prime membership before this goat poop of a series hits the screen.

What's funnier is that made multiple versions of this 'superfans' video, for different countries.

All 100% scripted and fake. None of those 'fans' knows 1 damn thing about Tolkien. None of the UK ones have any LOTR or Tolkien vids in any of their feeds before this stuff came out. They're all frauds.

Token mixed race girl:

"We're so far in the past... I'm so excited to see this younger version of Galadriel."





...

Ambiguously Islamic/Middle Eastern man-bun 'actor':

"Maybe we'll see her what she was like in school or something. I want her knife..."





...

Feminist white guilt 'disabled' chick: "She looks so much younger and more intense in this. In the old movies l, she was so flowy and didn't do much..."

...






Flamingly gay mixed race dude:

"I'm definetly excited to see this younger, less experienced version of Galadriel and how the Rings of Power will shape her.


....


Actual fans of Tolkien:

" Galadriel was born literally before the Sun and the Moon were formed... During the Years of the TREES!!! She's fricking 1900 years old at the BEGINNING of the Second AGE!!!

SHE'S NOT nor Ever was supposed to be fricking Xena Elvish Princess!!"

...



Amazon might as well take a half a billion dollars and light it on fire and video if. At least then, people may actually watch it...

How many people are LOTR superfans and knowledgable on Tolkien lore versus those who aren't?

Amazon is going to re-make this thing in the minds of young people. That's a big part of what "woke" is. I hope it crashes and burns, but too much of this crap has found long-lasting purchase.

The truth is Marxists are intentionally destroying traditions/stories that unite us under the guise of wokeism. It’s a modern day book burning.

Meant to divide and weaken us.

It's videos like these that make me miss the visible dislikes the most.

Would've loved to have seen the original ratio.
