They need to dig tunnels to the core of the mountain to route the lowlands river into the core. They can't dig tunnels if the lowlands river is there, so they dam it up. Once the tunnels are dug, they can release the water into the core of the mountain.
Using a magical sword as the key is more fantastical than some other boring shit.
I'm watching it and it's not that bad. But then again my identity doesn't revolve around reducing everything down to something I need to hate, because it's popular, like an NPC.

Stopped after EP2. Might just be the worst show I've ever watched. Entire thing feels like it's written by an AI that they fed just two keywords: LOTR & diversity. CGI is horrendous, dialogue is boring, costume design is abysmal everything looks like it was bought at the dollar store, none of the actors can act- Blacklas looks the same in literally every shot, same goes for Galadriel. 0/10 I wish the mods would ban the bezosBlack person that keeps making generals.
No wonder normalgays are latching onto anime and manga, western media is unbearable.

how long did you last?
I might be the most autist of all the non watchers, the moment they called her Galadriel as a kid I said "frick it, nope" because they didn't care the bare minimum
I keep hearing morons like you saying this, her name is Galadriel. Literally they call her that in lord of the rings and the hobbit, what's with that's not her name bs?
Elves have a tradition of carrying several names throughout their lives. A secret name, a public name, and then when/if they are married a name given to them by their spouse. Galadriel is the name Celeborn gave her. Celeborn is actually the name Galadriel gave to him as well. His original name was Teleporno.

At varying points over the course of less than a year Fauci and the CDC, I.E. the "authorities" we're supposed to trust as gospel on this stuff, switched between telling people to wear one mask, two masks, THREE masks, and even no masks at all. This happened numerous times, forward and back.
Additionally, after each and evety time this happened it was declared both by the authorities and by masktards that the "science was settled", consistently and equally, each and every time.

NTA but "poverty" depends on the cost of living rather than how much one makes. For example I make 50k € per year, which might be very little for US standards but I own a house and two cars and if something goes wrong I still have a nice cushion in the bank which is pretty well off in modern times even in the US according to friends I have there

They really desperate, huh.
Volcanos are based even if the show is homoBlack person shit. Volcanoes are always cool and the best thing about this show will be the videos of this hosted in YouTube, hopefully with added cringe nu metal music
I wasnt expecting amazon to actually show how mordor was created, Im really impressed cause this is something all tolkien fans wanted to know and see.
Way to go ROP!
Nobody, not even the most hateful person in this board had an issue with it. People complained about the moronation of the magical key (why not put stones and shit over the keyhole?) And the situation with Sauron and Galadriel not even checking what they have in their hands. A Volcano doing what volcanoes do is not a problem
>They planned these reactions and explanations months in advance. But almost no one questioned the mechanism of the event.
I dont care if you have watched a goyslop, its just mindless
fricking idiot, no-one cares the water cased a pyroclastic event, what is really stupid is everyone i going to surive, when everyone including immortal acienct elves should be dead, they just killed 3/4s of the cast, but not really because everyone will just be covered by ash next ep, its moronic, you however are also moronic, no-one cares what you do or do not watch
I haven't watched this show and I won't, but this is obviously some kind of precognitive cop-out and next episode will start with a close up of her eyes and it's revealed it was a vision the whole time.
nope teaser already out, they all just survived, sry shilly have to have a meeting monday. galadriel swimming the entire length to ME from Valinor wasn't dumb enough
>what is really stupid is everyone i going to surive
It's not just stupid, it's insane. This shit vaporizes every body of water it crosses. It boils oceans. But Galadriel will just be covered in ash next episode.
Thank you fellow geology anon. The last shot made me really upset too. What a joke, really. It's a shame because it was such good VFX. Shockwave was cool too. But they should have their lungs scorched beyond saving.
i must say its interesting, honestly if it wasnt for some wokeshit, diversity hires and some poor writing here and there, it would actually be good. Now that is pretty much saying 'if it wasnt shit it would be good' but still.
>that opening of the watchtower collapsing >dragged out mediocre battle >looney toons volcano errupting
I'm gonna be honest, I watched this shit and tried to enjoy, but the last two episodes have really killed any hopes I have for this series. 1 billion went to what exactly? The CGI is terrible, the shots and terrible, and story is terrible.
I'm glad that the entire scientific community, with all of its thesis and antithesis, has finally agreed on something as represented by the remarkable "scientist/expert".
>IT'S ACTUALLY POSSIBLE, Y'KNOW?
Because that's what I look for in my fantasy TV shows - realism.
Nobody complained about it being impossible, everyone complained about a magical blood sword opening a dam to make a volcano blow up being fricking stupid.
But if we're comparing what is "actually possible," then riddle me this: >Is it actually possible for a 5 ft. woman to take a 800°C cloud of volcanic ash to the face and live?
That was a really lame conclusion to Mt. Doom erupting. Why a magic blood sword when they could just break the dam down like the ents did? Why not use magic?
>"TRUST THE SCIENCE, CHUD! OKAY PAL? YOU GOTTA TRUST THE SCIENCE OKAY?? SCIENCE IS OUR GOD. NOW LISTEN TO THIS NEW THEORY INVALIDATING WHAT I SAID LAST WEEK OKAY?"
So if they were digging for months and months km of intrincate caves...why not dig the dam? why a dam needs evil sword magical keys?
Why something as volatile as a volcano exploding near the town with a effect as dangerous as pouring absurd quantities of water doesn't literally wipe the entire population of Mordor but in fact varely has more effect than some ashes falling from the sky?
Why put a simbol callng your troops in to Mordor to then blow everything up causing massive casualties (if the volcano worked as such)?
Not realims but verisimilitude. If you have a volcano and then the main character decides for a dive in lava you'd expect him to die. If a character gets stabbed 7 times by arrows, you'd expect him to die, if they suddenly shrug it off like nothing and people ask wtf? you can't just go with "heh, did you expect scientific accuracy in LOTR, nerd?"

I'm pretty sure that this would make a pretty good general brainlet/NPC Litmus Test.

Just post the webm i want to laugh at it
That's not enough water at the same time to cause such effect
Literally a few years ago we had a volcano erupting on an island and tons of water entering from the ocean and still wasn't as explosive as that
Relying on science in one instance and then dismissing it in another doesn't make for a convincing narrative, anon.
If you had the magical blood sword simply awaken the volcano through, y'know, magic, then nobody would complain.
But the showrunners had to be subversive about it.
The worst part of this was the obvious amount of CGI used in this scene. Obviously the fireballs raining down aren't going to be real, but some shots the characters look like they weren't even in the same room as the people standing behind them.
The pyroclastic cloud of volcano chemicals rushing down Mt. Doom is probably 1,000 °C and made of the worst chemical stew you could imagine. I look forward to the next episode where all the main characters are no worse for ware aside from a few dark scuff marks on their cheeks. I imagine Hillebrand found shelter under an old wheelbarrow or something, and surely half the water team made it into the safety of a rickety plywood shack before the cloud of acid fire passed over them. Galadriel will probably be standing in the exact same spot she was in, with no explanation given as to why she isn't a charred up pointy eared skeleton.
How pathetic and desperate it is that Amazon had already bought and prepared an article in advance defending this shit show?
And the best part is that even if they explain that water can cause the eruption, they still can't explain how the water climbed all the way to the top of the mountain which is what most people are calling out
reminds me of when the all dyke Ghosbusters came out and there were articles about how the tech in the movie could actually be possible because le experts claimed it. Just frick off with this shit.
My first not even dabbing thought was, were the sound effects up to scratch?
Stills from further on imply the whole top of the mountain blew off, and when a Krakatoa happens it can literally be heard on the other side of the planet. Twice over even, if you really strain the ears.
Did anyones’ speakers shit themselves and die? I mean I haven’t watched so can only infer.
>IT'S JUST A FANTASY SHOW LOL WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT UNREALISTIC THINGS HAPPENING >so anyway this thing from the fantasy show is le science approved

At this point I don't give a frick about the blatant blackwashing (at least the actors are good) but why the frick are they not consistent at all.
This is what we're talking about to begin with, we know it's a fantasy setting but there must be a baseline for simple reason and logic. But a volcano is a problem for them, and not the race thing?
Disa is based and so are the black hobbits. Blacklas is bland but alright.
The only one I don't like is the Queen of Numenor, especially given that her father is fricking white somehow. None of this would be an issue if she wasn't also an ugly troll.
Isn't she the namevia chick from Spartacus? She sucked in that one too. But yeah, disa is surprisingly likable, probably because dwarfs are always kino and even a fat nig can be likable when in dwarf form
>plan to erupt Mount Doom with water >spend years digging subterranean aquaeducts through Mordor >entire plan hinges on finding a lost sword that is also a key that opens a dam right next to an elven outpost to have enough water

Way to go ROP!
Wasn't that just the floodgate for the dam? That might be a regular mechanism that could only be triggered by the king or whoever would have this sword. The rest was tunnels dug by orcs after the fact.
I'm not watching this but please tell me if I have this right: >Orcs spend years digging trenches from some water source (assuming the ocean?) >They need more water, for some reason >The only way to get the water from this source is to open a dam >The damn can only be opened by a magical sword, because Hollywood writers are talentless israelites
What was the in-universe reason that the dam was necessary?
>What was the in-universe reason that the dam was necessary?
I think they needed a lot of water at once and the already existing dam was the only way to do it short of building your own secret dam and reservoir that you secretly fill with water from other rivers. I don't think there was a connection to the ocean. Mordor is too far inland surrounded by mountains.
Sorry, maybe this completely eluded me earlier, but was the village always that close to the tower and Mount Doom? It seems they can see the tower collapsing from close to the village. When Mount Doom erupts it seems like the village is directly under it. But then in ep1 the map suggested that we were in the east of Mordor not the relative west next to Mount Doom.
How did the water reach the top of the volcano? We know it has to be falling down from the top, since if there was a massive open hole near the bottom the lava would simply erupt from there instead.
There was a tunnel that exited between the top and the sea of lava. Path of least resistance would be the opening at the top, not the tunnel where water was already pouring inside. If any lava entered the tunnel it would come in contact with the water and rapidly evaporate it which causes the tunnel to collapse.
NTA but what he says is sound. If theres another vent for the volcano to erupt (and we asume that's where the water went) then it shouldn't be as explosive because there's another path for the pressure to escape
Volcanoes erupt because they gather pressure and it escapes out of the weakest part of the structure, usually the primary vent, the more vents the exist the least volatile the eruption is

Bravo Bezos
>have Adar and his uruk construct an elaborate series of tunnels leading to Mt. Doom, trusting that the elf patrols in the area are too stupid to notice miles of deforestation
The best thing is it looks like it literally happened under the elves' noses with the tunnels going directly from under the dam to Mount Doom.
My guess is Adar betrayed Sauron somehow and tried to kill him, Sauron faked his death and took the form of Halbrand, but is still pissed at Adar for trying to usurp control of the orcs
The writers in the show know fricking nothing because if they did they would know that Halbrand couldn't be Sauron because Galadriel could always sense Sauron and could always see through his lies and schemes. Unless she's playing along with the deception for some reason which is moronic the more likely explanation is that the writers just ignored this fact for their shitty show.
I still don't understand why the dam needed a magic sword as a key. Was the dam constructed so that someday someone could use the water backup to trigger Mt Doom? Was Mt Doom previously active but then they built the dam to hold the water back? Was it just a regular dam and thus only really required mundane locking mechanisms?
Did those scientists in the article also explained how this cloud would cook everyone that it touchesm including Galadriel and other main cahracters??? Because moron showrunners shoudn't flex with this shit when they will just pull out everyone getting saved by covering themselves with a cloth as if that was a smoke from a burned fry pan.
>Literally a few decades before the end of the SA >Barad Dur still not built >Rings still not made >Celebrimbor alive and older than Galadriel? >Galadriel not ruling Lorien with her husband and daughter >Lots of Numenorean colonies not already funded
I honestly wonder if they're illiterate, no that they didn't read the books but actually couldn't
The sole reason Mordor exists was as a reaction to Numenor forming lots of permanent colonies in Middle Earth for example
I don't watch this but everytime I see something of the main character posted here I feel as if she's trying to push a large turd out. Same dry expression.

The replication crisis (also called the replicability crisis and the reproducibility crisis) is an ongoing methodological crisis in which it has been found that the results of many scientific studies are difficult or impossible to reproduce. Because the reproducibility of empirical results is an essential part of the scientific method,[2] such failures undermine the credibility of theories building on them and potentially call into question substantial parts of scientific knowledge.
The replication crisis is frequently discussed in relation to psychology and medicine, where considerable efforts have been undertaken to re-investigate classic results, to determine both their reliability and, if found unreliable, the reasons for the failure.[3][4] Data strongly indicate that other natural, and social sciences are affected as well.[5]
A 2016 survey by Nature on 1,576 researchers who took a brief online questionnaire on reproducibility found that more than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiment results (including 87% of chemists, 77% of biologists, 69% of physicists and engineers, 67% of medical researchers, 64% of earth and environmental scientists, and 62% of all others), and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments. However, less than 20% had been contacted by another researcher unable to reproduce their work. The survey found that less than 31% of researchers believe that failure to reproduce results means that the original result is probably wrong, although 52% do agree that a significant replication crisis exists. Most researchers said that they still trust the published literature.[5][55]
Early analysis of result-blind peer review, which is less affected by publication bias, has estimated that 61 percent of result-blind studies in biomedicine and psychology have led to null results, in contrast to an estimated 5 to 20 percent in earlier research.[56]
The simplest definition of science is that it is the ability to predict results. But science taught in Western universities is no longer about predicting results.
Instead, it's simply about pushing political agendas. And that's why "science" can now say that rape culture happens at dog parks and how all men are literally Hitler:
Well, considering it's no longer a "conspiracy theory" that the CIA is running psyops on Reddit, of course that is one of the places they spend tons of money to post CIA talking points:
Yes, the CIA has been caught posting fake stuff on FaceBook/Reddit/Twitter in order to influence elections and push fake "science" like Covid.
The orcs were building a trench to lead water from a dam into a volcano to make it explode, and to open the dam they created a magical sword that only takes shape when a human offers it blood, to be used as a key to turn a rock thing and thus open the dam.
But the orcs lost the key and had to go on a scavenger hunt to retrieve it. In that time losing many of their own and having their leader captured.
instead of just. You know, opening the dam up normally or using the same type of explosive shit they used on Helms Deep
>water flows into a hole several miles from the mountain >shows the water flowing down the hole >shows daylight shining down through the hole onto the lava >somehow this causes the mountain miles away to erupt >somehow this affects a magma chamber that would be kilometers deep

>devasting
Didn't see it. What did I miss? Don't bother answer that, I am not returning to this thread.
They used a key to open a small spillway. The water from it traveled down the ditch the orcs were digging into the mountain and it exploded.
I feel stupid writing that.
why not dig a whole in the damn instead?
who made a dam that needs evil magical swords that are actually keys to operate it?
They need to dig tunnels to the core of the mountain to route the lowlands river into the core. They can't dig tunnels if the lowlands river is there, so they dam it up. Once the tunnels are dug, they can release the water into the core of the mountain.
Using a magical sword as the key is more fantastical than some other boring shit.

I might be the most autist of all the non watchers, the moment they called her Galadriel as a kid I said "frick it, nope" because they didn't care the bare minimum
I keep hearing morons like you saying this, her name is Galadriel. Literally they call her that in lord of the rings and the hobbit, what's with that's not her name bs?
her name is Nerwen or Artanis, Galadriel was giving to her by her husband Celeborn the day of their union
Maybe she's already married to Teleporno in the show and they just didn't show it.
>married as a kid
They literally call her Galadriel minute 1 of the first episode when she's a e-girl. Also no, she met him in Middle Earth
It was an early marriage in the show, even for elves.
Elves have a tradition of carrying several names throughout their lives. A secret name, a public name, and then when/if they are married a name given to them by their spouse. Galadriel is the name Celeborn gave her. Celeborn is actually the name Galadriel gave to him as well. His original name was Teleporno.

You allways wear them one at a time anon
Fauci and the CDC literally recommended wearing 2 at a time at one point you fricking idiot.
Im not from usa, we didnt get any such idiotic recomendations
really odd when Faucci and WHO said to wear two, and the science was settle, till it wasn't
Are you amnesiac?
At varying points over the course of less than a year Fauci and the CDC, I.E. the "authorities" we're supposed to trust as gospel on this stuff, switched between telling people to wear one mask, two masks, THREE masks, and even no masks at all. This happened numerous times, forward and back.
Additionally, after each and evety time this happened it was declared both by the authorities and by masktards that the "science was settled", consistently and equally, each and every time.
Im not amnesiac, im european
No one ever told me to wear more than one mask
People would think the minister of health is drunk or moronic and the opposition would demand his resignation
I cant even imagine what it must be like to live in a country like yours
You literally just weren't paying attention.
Tbh i wasnt paying attention, no, most people werent, we were kind of paranoid for the first 2 weeks, but when it became obvious mortality is les than 5% no one cared any more we just followed protocol in public transport and shops to avoid problems while buying milk and bread
We had these parties in public squares, thousands of people, thousands, you wouldnt believe, people snorting lines and smoking whatever right there in the open, bithes all dressed to frick, puddles, streams of raw piss fromdusk till dawn, then the police started breaking it up, lasted a good feew weekends
I believe it but which specific country?
>I cant even imagine what it must be like to live in a country like yours
Much like yours but we have rights and can say what we want and we’re not poor, and don’t give 50%+ of the money we make to the government
>we have rights
>can say what we want
>
NTA but "poverty" depends on the cost of living rather than how much one makes. For example I make 50k € per year, which might be very little for US standards but I own a house and two cars and if something goes wrong I still have a nice cushion in the bank which is pretty well off in modern times even in the US according to friends I have there
>I’m a poorgay and people I associate with in other countries are poorgays too
Neat.
Now go on your facebook or twatter and say, “no more pakis. England is white.”

Holy shit you homosexuals can't help yourselves lmfao
>REEEEEEE NO YOU CAN'T BRING UP RECENT EVENTS EVERYONE REMEMBERS THAT MADE MY SIDE LOOK BAD REEEEEEE

It's literally how Krakatoa erupted.
Did the Indons dig a trench from the ocean to the core of the Vulcano?
Water was "leaking" for days.
Volcanos are based even if the show is homoBlack person shit. Volcanoes are always cool and the best thing about this show will be the videos of this hosted in YouTube, hopefully with added cringe nu metal music
>Volcanoes are always cool
quite the opposite, actually
Actually he's right. Most volcanoes are dormant
>AMERICA AMERICA AMERICA AMERICA AMERICA AMERICA AMERICA AMERICA AMERICA
Every time.
Damn they really running out of news aren't they?
What? Volcanoes are real?
I wasnt expecting amazon to actually show how mordor was created, Im really impressed cause this is something all tolkien fans wanted to know and see.
Way to go ROP!
>opening the dam using a sword that is enchanted by human blood.
You have bloody trolls to open a goddamn dam
>volcanologist reacts to Rings of Power episode 6
Nobody, not even the most hateful person in this board had an issue with it. People complained about the moronation of the magical key (why not put stones and shit over the keyhole?) And the situation with Sauron and Galadriel not even checking what they have in their hands. A Volcano doing what volcanoes do is not a problem
>Volcanoes explode!
>I love Science!
They really desperate, huh.
>real life volcano scientist reacts to rings of power eruption!
wow
They planned these reactions and explanations months in advance. But almost no one questioned the mechanism of the event.
>They planned these reactions and explanations months in advance. But almost no one questioned the mechanism of the event.
I dont care if you have watched a goyslop, its just mindless
fricking idiot, no-one cares the water cased a pyroclastic event, what is really stupid is everyone i going to surive, when everyone including immortal acienct elves should be dead, they just killed 3/4s of the cast, but not really because everyone will just be covered by ash next ep, its moronic, you however are also moronic, no-one cares what you do or do not watch
>I
>You*
its a typo, Im a bit stoned
I am also a bit stoned hence the typos, but still EVERYONE IS DEAD DAVE
why are you pretending to be me?
>why are you pretending to be me?
nah I was that one guy you responded to, cheers m8
ah fair enough
I haven't watched this show and I won't, but this is obviously some kind of precognitive cop-out and next episode will start with a close up of her eyes and it's revealed it was a vision the whole time.
nope teaser already out, they all just survived, sry shilly have to have a meeting monday. galadriel swimming the entire length to ME from Valinor wasn't dumb enough
>what is really stupid is everyone i going to surive
It's not just stupid, it's insane. This shit vaporizes every body of water it crosses. It boils oceans. But Galadriel will just be covered in ash next episode.
To hats good, then everyone will finaly stop watching the show
Thank you fellow geology anon. The last shot made me really upset too. What a joke, really. It's a shame because it was such good VFX. Shockwave was cool too. But they should have their lungs scorched beyond saving.
Volcanoes aren't real
not when there is an outlet for the gas
>we're actually getting mordor origin story
i must say its interesting, honestly if it wasnt for some wokeshit, diversity hires and some poor writing here and there, it would actually be good. Now that is pretty much saying 'if it wasnt shit it would be good' but still.
>"some" poor writing
>"here and there"
shill
The origin of Mordor is that Morgoth made it in the First Age. Morder was always Mordor, it doesn't need an "origin".
wrong
Melkor created the volcano in the first age and the land surrounding it has probably been called Mordor since then because of its eruptions.
>melkor
Go swear some oaths and get gangbanged by Balrogs.
>we're actually getting mordor origin story
no, you're geting something that is not what happened, how it happened, nor when it happened
Bezos really spent more in shilling than in the show huh?
who cares?
the show remains shit either way
>that opening of the watchtower collapsing
>dragged out mediocre battle
>looney toons volcano errupting
I'm gonna be honest, I watched this shit and tried to enjoy, but the last two episodes have really killed any hopes I have for this series. 1 billion went to what exactly? The CGI is terrible, the shots and terrible, and story is terrible.
No lie, I was watching the water hit the lava and I was like "man this is bullshit where's all the steam, this shit would blow up"
And then it did
I'm glad that the entire scientific community, with all of its thesis and antithesis, has finally agreed on something as represented by the remarkable "scientist/expert".
Dumb esl poster
What did he write incorrectly?
>IT'S ACTUALLY POSSIBLE, Y'KNOW?
Because that's what I look for in my fantasy TV shows - realism.
Nobody complained about it being impossible, everyone complained about a magical blood sword opening a dam to make a volcano blow up being fricking stupid.
But if we're comparing what is "actually possible," then riddle me this:
>Is it actually possible for a 5 ft. woman to take a 800°C cloud of volcanic ash to the face and live?
That was a really lame conclusion to Mt. Doom erupting. Why a magic blood sword when they could just break the dam down like the ents did? Why not use magic?
>"It's possible, sorta, kinda..."
>Proceed to ignore that there were survivors to the pyroclastic flow literally next to a highly explosive eruption
yes but what of the volcano's tax policy?
wait what? volcanoes can erupt? oh no!
thats not the problem is everyone is now dead, they all died you cannot survive that
>"TRUST THE SCIENCE, CHUD! OKAY PAL? YOU GOTTA TRUST THE SCIENCE OKAY?? SCIENCE IS OUR GOD. NOW LISTEN TO THIS NEW THEORY INVALIDATING WHAT I SAID LAST WEEK OKAY?"
So if they were digging for months and months km of intrincate caves...why not dig the dam? why a dam needs evil sword magical keys?
Why something as volatile as a volcano exploding near the town with a effect as dangerous as pouring absurd quantities of water doesn't literally wipe the entire population of Mordor but in fact varely has more effect than some ashes falling from the sky?
Why put a simbol callng your troops in to Mordor to then blow everything up causing massive casualties (if the volcano worked as such)?
If you care about scientific accuracy in LOTR you should genuinely fricking have a nice day
Not realims but verisimilitude. If you have a volcano and then the main character decides for a dive in lava you'd expect him to die. If a character gets stabbed 7 times by arrows, you'd expect him to die, if they suddenly shrug it off like nothing and people ask wtf? you can't just go with "heh, did you expect scientific accuracy in LOTR, nerd?"
Lol there're dragons and demons in there and you expect veramisilude or whatever? people like you are fricking moronic
Thats not the point and you know it
You don't have a point, stop basing your entire existence on hating a show because it has women and blacks in it
If you only knew how pathetic you sound
But hey at least youre getting payed for it
Boy i love shill threds
Someone post the fricking webm i want to laugh at it
You're one click from watch it, you can even torrent it to keep the little amount of self-respect you have if you want
No no i want to have it as a webm so i can repost it and i cant be bothered to make one myself
I can allways watch it for free i simply never thought of it it looks so ridiculously bad im not motivated to even open the link
I rely on these threads to laugh at the most moronic bits
Literally zero people ITT were talking about women or blacks, dipshit. Not until you brought them up.
Got something on your mind, huh?
>Dude, "fiction" just means "making shit up without logic or consistency"
I'm pretty sure you're trolling but I have unironucally heard this kind of utter brainlet take from morons IRL. Oddly enough from dopey, low-IQ black women most frequently.
I'm pretty sure that this would make a pretty good general brainlet/NPC Litmus Test. If someone is legitimately so braindead that they don't understand how basic fiction-writing or world-building works and that things like logic or reason don't evaporate in fiction due solely to there being fantastical elements in it then you can be pretty sure you're talking to a Reality-TV-watching intellectual-wasteoid lacking an IQ above 85 and any level of "imagination", and you can safely disregard their opinions, or AT LEAST their opinions on media.
Autistic science shit is not “verisimilitude”. Nobody fricking cares or knows what an accurate eruption is like.
The plot twist why she survives is evil drains all heat and Sauron.
>"This place is so evil that our torches give off no warmth"
>Galadriel survives getting hit with a pyroclastic flow because Sauron is right next to her and absorbs the heat.
That would unironically be kino, tbh.
everyone else would still be dead, whole numenorian army its dead now EVERYONE IS DEAD
Yeah, and it would be kino.
>Everyone is dead because Galadriel couldn't be bothered to check one bundled up handaxe
>Everyone is dead because Galadriel was such an incompetent commander that, as the volcano was erupting, all she did was stare dumbfounded at the wave of ashes approaching them
>Everyone is dead and she is alive to live with more of her mistakes.
>She didn't win, she just lead a bunch of people to their death.
>But why is she alive? Because Sauron, the person she spend years tracking and attempting to kill was right next to her without her realizing it.
>Not only did she not realize it, she also fell in love with the man.
>Not only did she not realize it, but his "evil" saved her from becoming a burnt up ashen remnant.
You can't tell me this wouldn't be kino.
it would be incredibly moronic but considering what we've gotten so far I'm up for it, better then this shit
This is extra funny because both your examples happen in the LOTR trilogy and yet nobody b***hed about it.
Pretty sure Golum and Boromir are dead
>splashing into Lava, even though it's as dense as rock and he should have been crushed against it then burst into flame
>hero gets shot multiple times but keeps fighting meme
This shit isn't scientifically accurate, but nobody gives a shit. Giant eagles wouldn't work. Rings aren't magical. But oh my god a sword is a key to open a damn, help my immersion is ruined.
Show isn't great, but it's not because of autistic shit like this.
Boromir died of 3 arrows, not 7
>Giant eagles wouldn't work
you sure? Argentavis magnificens had a wing span of 7 meters. You even had Quetzalcoatlus
But the problem is not that keys and damns exists, but that is stupid to have a magical key, that is a sword for a damn. That only happens in jrpgs
>damn instead of dam
frick autocorrect
>things from the books are replaceable by things made up for this show
Is this actually an argument?
Someone post a webm of the scene i want to laugh at it
Ill make a guess, the volcano is hollow like a upside down bowl and theres a 'lake' of lava at the bottom, right?
They pour water in and it eXpLAWooUdZ
That 'dam breaking with sword key' the shills were all talking about yesterday has something to do with it, right?
Just post the webm i want to laugh at it
you guessed it
this is goofy as frick
i think it's epic
That's not enough water at the same time to cause such effect
Literally a few years ago we had a volcano erupting on an island and tons of water entering from the ocean and still wasn't as explosive as that
yea and orcs and elves don't exist in real world either. weird i know
Relying on science in one instance and then dismissing it in another doesn't make for a convincing narrative, anon.
If you had the magical blood sword simply awaken the volcano through, y'know, magic, then nobody would complain.
But the showrunners had to be subversive about it.
Oh no, Galadriel, Isildur, Elendil and Tar-Miriel are in danger, will they survive??? holy shit what a cliffhanger
Why does blacky hold his hand up as if to say "no, stop"?
Why was Galadriel looking like she was going to grab her sword?
That was definitely a strange choice.
The worst part of this was the obvious amount of CGI used in this scene. Obviously the fireballs raining down aren't going to be real, but some shots the characters look like they weren't even in the same room as the people standing behind them.
The pyroclastic cloud of volcano chemicals rushing down Mt. Doom is probably 1,000 °C and made of the worst chemical stew you could imagine. I look forward to the next episode where all the main characters are no worse for ware aside from a few dark scuff marks on their cheeks. I imagine Hillebrand found shelter under an old wheelbarrow or something, and surely half the water team made it into the safety of a rickety plywood shack before the cloud of acid fire passed over them. Galadriel will probably be standing in the exact same spot she was in, with no explanation given as to why she isn't a charred up pointy eared skeleton.
>God smites the multiracial and tolerant communities of Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone: colorized

RoP haters in shambles. This last episode was good.
The CGI looks bad and the entire thing is too long and dumb.
>water makes lava catch on fire
Common Core physics that the writers rely on in current year.
How pathetic and desperate it is that Amazon had already bought and prepared an article in advance defending this shit show?
And the best part is that even if they explain that water can cause the eruption, they still can't explain how the water climbed all the way to the top of the mountain which is what most people are calling out
reminds me of when the all dyke Ghosbusters came out and there were articles about how the tech in the movie could actually be possible because le experts claimed it. Just frick off with this shit.
>science says
I will now wear the muzzle and get the science juice.
My first not even dabbing thought was, were the sound effects up to scratch?
Stills from further on imply the whole top of the mountain blew off, and when a Krakatoa happens it can literally be heard on the other side of the planet. Twice over even, if you really strain the ears.
Did anyones’ speakers shit themselves and die? I mean I haven’t watched so can only infer.
>Scientist said

It's the new "because God said so"

I guess thats why the sorroundings of etna explode constantly and island went nuclear a few years ago

The label of "scientist" literally gas zero weight or meaning now. Thanks, Leftists!
is there nothing else to talk about in this show?
Why Valar didn't make it rain on Mordor so the volcano exploded and killed Sauron and all his army in the 3rd age?
wait is that the same volcano from bad guy land in lord of the rings?
Yes. You are witnessing the formation of bad guy land.
I'm still not watching it, shill
I couldn't even finish first episode it was so bad and yes I filtered everything I could with "rope" on this board, you just got lucky because I can't add Apologize to filters but I can always use shift+click.
why the frick would you think anyone was "lucky" you posted ITT, who cares? wtf
There is an concerted media effort to shill for this show. Amazon must be scared.
>WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND BLACKS IN MIDDLE EARTH!?!?!?!! IT'S FANTASY SERIES WITH ELVES, IT'S NOT REALITY!!!
>UMMM ASCKUALLY DO VOLCANOES WORK LIKE THAT?? I'M GOING TO NEED TO CONSULT WITH THE SCIENCE TO PROVE THAT THIS IS REALISTIC ENOUGH
At this point I don't give a frick about the blatant blackwashing (at least the actors are good) but why the frick are they not consistent at all.
This is what we're talking about to begin with, we know it's a fantasy setting but there must be a baseline for simple reason and logic. But a volcano is a problem for them, and not the race thing?
Disa is based and so are the black hobbits. Blacklas is bland but alright.
The only one I don't like is the Queen of Numenor, especially given that her father is fricking white somehow. None of this would be an issue if she wasn't also an ugly troll.
Isn't she the namevia chick from Spartacus? She sucked in that one too. But yeah, disa is surprisingly likable, probably because dwarfs are always kino and even a fat nig can be likable when in dwarf form
the problem isnt the volcano eruption its the elaborate wallace and gromit mechanism that lead the the eruption
But that was kino, how was that bad?
>plan to erupt Mount Doom with water
>spend years digging subterranean aquaeducts through Mordor
>entire plan hinges on finding a lost sword that is also a key that opens a dam right next to an elven outpost to have enough water
ecting amazon to actually show how mordor was created, Im really impressed cause this is something all tolkien fans wanted to know and see.
Way to go ROP!
Who even built the mechanism and why?
Wasn't that just the floodgate for the dam? That might be a regular mechanism that could only be triggered by the king or whoever would have this sword. The rest was tunnels dug by orcs after the fact.
I'm not watching this but please tell me if I have this right:
>Orcs spend years digging trenches from some water source (assuming the ocean?)
>They need more water, for some reason
>The only way to get the water from this source is to open a dam
>The damn can only be opened by a magical sword, because Hollywood writers are talentless israelites
What was the in-universe reason that the dam was necessary?
>What was the in-universe reason that the dam was necessary?
I think they needed a lot of water at once and the already existing dam was the only way to do it short of building your own secret dam and reservoir that you secretly fill with water from other rivers. I don't think there was a connection to the ocean. Mordor is too far inland surrounded by mountains.
Yep. Not even sure why need the mechanism in the first place. They have freaking trolls.
Sorry, maybe this completely eluded me earlier, but was the village always that close to the tower and Mount Doom? It seems they can see the tower collapsing from close to the village. When Mount Doom erupts it seems like the village is directly under it. But then in ep1 the map suggested that we were in the east of Mordor not the relative west next to Mount Doom.
How did the water reach the top of the volcano? We know it has to be falling down from the top, since if there was a massive open hole near the bottom the lava would simply erupt from there instead.
Yeah, a magma bubble can be way below the surface.
There was a tunnel that exited between the top and the sea of lava. Path of least resistance would be the opening at the top, not the tunnel where water was already pouring inside. If any lava entered the tunnel it would come in contact with the water and rapidly evaporate it which causes the tunnel to collapse.
is this bait or are you really that stupid
NTA but what he says is sound. If theres another vent for the volcano to erupt (and we asume that's where the water went) then it shouldn't be as explosive because there's another path for the pressure to escape
Volcanoes erupt because they gather pressure and it escapes out of the weakest part of the structure, usually the primary vent, the more vents the exist the least volatile the eruption is

>find magic evil sword, and use it to tear down a dam (that easily could’ve been torn down by hand with more time) and set off Mt Doom via steam explosion
>I now have my evil base
Bravo Bezos
>have Adar and his uruk construct an elaborate series of tunnels leading to Mt. Doom, trusting that the elf patrols in the area are too stupid to notice miles of deforestation
The best thing is it looks like it literally happened under the elves' noses with the tunnels going directly from under the dam to Mount Doom.
I don't get how Adar fits into this, he seemed genuine about hating Sauron. Halbrand also seemed to really want to kill him.
My guess is Adar betrayed Sauron somehow and tried to kill him, Sauron faked his death and took the form of Halbrand, but is still pissed at Adar for trying to usurp control of the orcs
the show writers know Sauron is a powerful maiar right? also immortal. Is not til he makes the one ring that his physical form can be destroyed
The writers in the show know fricking nothing because if they did they would know that Halbrand couldn't be Sauron because Galadriel could always sense Sauron and could always see through his lies and schemes. Unless she's playing along with the deception for some reason which is moronic the more likely explanation is that the writers just ignored this fact for their shitty show.
atrocious cgi, you people need glasses
I still don't understand why the dam needed a magic sword as a key. Was the dam constructed so that someday someone could use the water backup to trigger Mt Doom? Was Mt Doom previously active but then they built the dam to hold the water back? Was it just a regular dam and thus only really required mundane locking mechanisms?
I fricking love science and the rings of power
Did those scientists in the article also explained how this cloud would cook everyone that it touchesm including Galadriel and other main cahracters??? Because moron showrunners shoudn't flex with this shit when they will just pull out everyone getting saved by covering themselves with a cloth as if that was a smoke from a burned fry pan.

I honestly wonder if they're illiterate, no that they didn't read the books but actually couldn't
The sole reason Mordor exists was as a reaction to Numenor forming lots of permanent colonies in Middle Earth for example
Only chuds care about keeping it faithful to a conservatard book for children.
I don't watch this but everytime I see something of the main character posted here I feel as if she's trying to push a large turd out. Same dry expression.

The replication crisis (also called the replicability crisis and the reproducibility crisis) is an ongoing methodological crisis in which it has been found that the results of many scientific studies are difficult or impossible to reproduce. Because the reproducibility of empirical results is an essential part of the scientific method,[2] such failures undermine the credibility of theories building on them and potentially call into question substantial parts of scientific knowledge.
The replication crisis is frequently discussed in relation to psychology and medicine, where considerable efforts have been undertaken to re-investigate classic results, to determine both their reliability and, if found unreliable, the reasons for the failure.[3][4] Data strongly indicate that other natural, and social sciences are affected as well.[5]
A 2016 survey by Nature on 1,576 researchers who took a brief online questionnaire on reproducibility found that more than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiment results (including 87% of chemists, 77% of biologists, 69% of physicists and engineers, 67% of medical researchers, 64% of earth and environmental scientists, and 62% of all others), and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments. However, less than 20% had been contacted by another researcher unable to reproduce their work. The survey found that less than 31% of researchers believe that failure to reproduce results means that the original result is probably wrong, although 52% do agree that a significant replication crisis exists. Most researchers said that they still trust the published literature.[5][55]
Early analysis of result-blind peer review, which is less affected by publication bias, has estimated that 61 percent of result-blind studies in biomedicine and psychology have led to null results, in contrast to an estimated 5 to 20 percent in earlier research.[56]
Yup. Science has been killed.
The simplest definition of science is that it is the ability to predict results. But science taught in Western universities is no longer about predicting results.
Instead, it's simply about pushing political agendas. And that's why "science" can now say that rape culture happens at dog parks and how all men are literally Hitler:
Have you seen how astroturfed Rogan's subreddit is?
Well, considering it's no longer a "conspiracy theory" that the CIA is running psyops on Reddit, of course that is one of the places they spend tons of money to post CIA talking points:
Yes, the CIA has been caught posting fake stuff on FaceBook/Reddit/Twitter in order to influence elections and push fake "science" like Covid.
Reddit is primarily a Russia hate site. They've been preparing the goyim for ww3 since 2015 there.
So let Me get this straight
The orcs were building a trench to lead water from a dam into a volcano to make it explode, and to open the dam they created a magical sword that only takes shape when a human offers it blood, to be used as a key to turn a rock thing and thus open the dam.
But the orcs lost the key and had to go on a scavenger hunt to retrieve it. In that time losing many of their own and having their leader captured.
instead of just. You know, opening the dam up normally or using the same type of explosive shit they used on Helms Deep
or digging a hole like they have been doing, yeah
>"scientist"
Wow. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Never forget
Whoa! SCIENCE!
Two biggest psyops
I don't know why they bring science in a MORGOTH'S MADE WEAPON.
Because apparently you need an old NPC to unlock the key that activates the magic volcano.
Holy shit science cuds… we did it. We did a heckin science thing!!!
Are black dwarves scientifically possible, though?

>water flows into a hole several miles from the mountain

i thought this was a fantasy world, why are they trying to pull the scientific realism card now?
Because the show is shit and they are now struggling to defend it, so trying to deflect attention to less significant problems because they can't defend the characterization or writing.
It's an attempt to shame critics into silence. You're not anti science, are you? SLAVA UKRAINE, FRICK DRUMPF EAT THE BUGS AND GET THE BOOSTER
