The Brain

Is it true that Galadriel says "It's Morbin time"?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Yes.  That was the coolest moment of the episode.

I googled it, and I still have no idea what you guys are talking about.

Power rangers reference.

I've watched it. It's... ok. Some parts don't make sense. Like half of the sea "adventure" seemed unnecessary, for example

And a Morbius reference that prompted Sony into thinking their film had gone viral :sleep:

It was a widespread internet meme from earlier this year where people talked about how awesome the Sony movie Morbius was (it wasn't), and in particular how he used the line "It's Morbin' time" (he doesn't).

The movie was initially a box-office bomb, but the popularity of the meme caused Sony to re-release Morbius in theatres, where it bombed again.


Had to google the connection to Power Rangers - apparently it's a take-off of their line "It's Morphin' time".

This was, incidentally, very funny.

I hope it causes studios to ignore or at least sense-check most social media responses rather than, say, doing another Rise of Skywalker. Sometimes social media is right (Sonic's teeth), sometimes they're wrong and sometimes they're taking the piss.

And I thought it was a play on "It's clobberin' time," the catch phrase of Thing from the Fantastic Four comics. :lol:

To be fair "It's Morphin' Time" might well be a take off of The Thing.

Bombed?  :mad:  The average person on the planet saw the movie 153 times!

I'd laugh grumblarsaurus, but some Hollywood exec likely has figures that proves just that but will still state that the fillm was a loss too.
PDH!

Really liked that 3rd episode.  For someone not familiar with LOTR outside of the 3 books and movies, I get a better feeling of the lore now. :)

It's a slow reveal, not everything is spelled out loud, you have to do some guessing, I still think Galadriel is a bit too stuck up for my taste, but it's still a great show.

[spoiler]
When the elves attempted to escape, the one (Crassus ;) ) that made it out of the pit received 2-3 arrows in the chest.  Where did they come from?  I couldn't see any orcs outside of the pit, and they're afraid of the sun... they came from the woods? So were there any hidden there that I missed?[/spoiler]

I loved the look of Numernor and Elendil is a badass.

Viper: There were some orcs in the background of that shot behind the shot elf. I think it's been established that they can go out in the sun while heavily clothed, they just hate it.

Josquius

I saw ep 2. A step up from 1. Interesting to see a fantasy show where for one the dwarves are in the ascendancy.
Nice lampshading of elf long lifespans but kind of clunky.

Really can't get out of my head that galadrial was basically trying to swim across the whole Atlantic.
