This comment section has better writing than a billion dollar franchise.

The part where Galadriel screams "Black Lives Matter" and charges at Sauron was awe-inspiring

As a woman, I honestly find it more insulting when writers make the women 'strong and flawless' and all of the men beta and pathetic, because to me it just looks like they're saying 'we can only make women look strong when they're standing next to a weak, totally useless man'.

When Galadriel screamed “protect trans kids” I broke down crying-

The part where Galadriel says "I am inevitable" and blows up the Death Star while flying a DeLorean at 88 mph truly brought me to tears.

The part where Gandalf tries to kill the Nazgûl king and the king says “no man can kill me” and Gandalf says “did you just assume my gender!?”
Truly inspiring

Literal chills when Sauron looked away and said “it seems, in my lust for power, I have become the Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power™"

I've always loved the phrase "Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!" Because if Orcs know what menus are, then they know what restaurants are. The implications regarding the service industry in Mordor are staggering.

The part where Galadriel tells her wife "I am the danger" really showed how powerful and brave she has become.

The really strange thing about this show is that the writers expect you to know the source material without actually using it themselves.

The part where Galadriel is stoppd by an old lady and is asked "Galadriel who?" and she smiles and says "Galadriel Tolkien" moved my bowels to involuntarily evacuate .

One writer fought in WW1 trenches, and probably based Mordor on the hellscape he could see everyday, the other ones...finished college.Pretty big difference in life experience ;p

The part where Guyladriel looks at the Ring and confidently anounces "It will be perfect, when it fits a woman", well, it truly brought me to tears.

The part where sauron agrees to stop deforestation around mordor to reduce his armies carbon footprint was stunning.

The part where Amazon said "It's not about the money, it's about sending a message" as it lit a massive money mountain of $1 billion on fire was the most shocking thing I ever witnessed.

It's not even fanfiction, the producers aren't fans. If the were they would care more about the source material.

The part where Galadriel saves the two kids from the cars crashing into them with her webs and tells them to eat their vegetables.
Truly wholesome.

The biggest insult about the quote, "it felt natural to us that the script should reflect the world we live in today," is that Tolkien was a veteran of the hellish trenches of WWI. The world he lived in was bleak, industrial, cruel, and deadly. The story and world he made was about the good in people burning brightly against the darkness that threatens to extinguish it. It is where noble souls struggle against impossible odds and, through the triumph of valor, selflessness, and comraderie, push the darkness that threatens the world back. It ultimately does not defeat darkness forever, but we get this beautiful view into a world that could be. Middle earth was never a reflection of the "modern world" but rather an escape from it.

The scene where Galadriel twerks in front of Sauron to show how empowered she is was truly inspirational.

This the first time that I actually wanted the villain to win 100%
