Amazon Studios decided to step up their game a few years ago by spending something like 250 million dollars on the rights to make a Lord of the Rings TV show. And then to make sure it was really good they spent another 750 million on production. So there you have it. One billion dollars! Instant classic, guaranteed! Right? That’s how it works, right?
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power definitely raises some questions. Like why is Galadriel so invincible and powerful? What were the odds of her stumbling upon Sauron in the middle of the ocean? Was she really just planning on swimming across an ocean to get home? Are volcanic eruptions not a huge deal? What was with that weird Rube Goldberg set-up at Mordor?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to the The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power!

I thought Galadriel was going to turn out to be Sauron. She had all the character traits.
-
"Young and immature" Galadriel is actually the oldest elf in the show, which the writers conveniently seemed to have forgotten in their desires to portray her as an arrogant youth
-
So let me get this straight: Guy slams sword into wall which activates a machine to flood an area with water. The machine ends up flooding the tunnels the orks dug. But that also causes a volcano to explode which is the birth of Mordor. Are you sure this chain of events wasn't caused by a prehistoric squirrel trying to hide an acorn?
-
Galadrial jumping off the boat and then planning on swimming 3000 miles in a dress with no food,water or sleep then accidentally bumping into sauron half way across is so absolutely ridiculous that i can't believe someone actually signed off on it and was like yeah that will work
-
Watching the pitch meeting rather than the actual show is tight
-
I do not deny that my heart has greatly desired this Pitch Meeting.
-
The audacity of a bunch of nobody Hollywood writers literally saying, "Tolkien wasn't a very good writer, so we decided to do our own thing."
-
"Hey, shut up!" is pretty much the only answer the showrunners have for the 8 billion plotholes in this series.
-
I've been waiting for this to drop longer than it took for Galadriel to figure out who Halbrand was
-
Actually super nice from Amazon to put 1 billion into the show, so that Ryan can put this entertaining 7 minute video together, which is clearly the only and intended purpose of the whole project.
-
"The elves need this stuff or they're gonna die" "Why" "Because they'll die if they don't get it" "Oh, alright." I am 1000% sure this exchange actually happened in the real pitch meeting.
-
Turning the over 6' tall and ethereally majestic Galadriel into a tiny angry lady is tight!
-
Ryan has an uncanny ability to both mock, while giving a completely accurate plot synopsis.
-
Randomly finding Sauron in the middle of a giant ocean is apparently super easy, barely an inconvenience.
-
Seems like Sauron could have accrued more power by just hanging out with Galadriel and having her tell people that he's in charge now.
-
“Is she planning to swim back to Middle Earth? Hah hah” “Ha. Yeah, that’s the plan.” “Oh my god you’re serious.” That was fairly close to my reaction when I first watched it.
-
Making Middle Earth feel like a small town where you can just bump into key characters at any point is tight!
-
The amount of opportunities to say “super easy barely an inconvenience” this show offers is staggering
-
The plot of galadriels being mad about her brother being dead is so dumb, especially since elves don't actually die when they die in middle earth their spirit gets returned to valinor and is eventually given form again. So galadriels brother was probably just chilling in valinor waiting for his sister to come back and see him just to hear she jumped off the boat in the middle of the ocean for some reason
-
Me at the start of the season: That's not Gandalf that would be too stupid. Me in the middle of the season: Yup this show is dumb enough, that's Gandalf.
