  • Fan made. All I wanted was for the show to be good. Weep; for what could have been and will never be. Imagine if the Rings of Power were this. It is not.
    Unlike Amazon, I don't own the rights to the Lord of the Rings, although I feel my version captures more of the feel and heart of Middle Earth than Amazon's own trailer. Your support would mean a lot, whether through patreon, or just sharing the video. I want people to see my version. I hope that they like it. And I hope it is a reminder, of what we could have had.

    This is made none the less with love and respect for the works of Tolkien. The point of this was not to make money or steal content, but to make something beautiful, and to make a point. I don't contest the ownership of the music or footage in this video, and the companies affected have the right to take the little money this generates. My only wish, is that it is allowed to stay on the platform, as a testament to what could have been.

    Peter Jackson, interview GreenCine (Dec. 2002) - "There are certainly themes Tolkien felt were important. We made a promise to ourselves at the beginning of the process that we weren't going to put any of our own politics, our own messages or our own themes into these movies. What we were trying to do was to analyse what was important to Tolkien and to try to honour that. In a way, were trying to make these films for him, not for ourselves."

I'm honestly not sure why they are drawing from Greece and Rome, when Tolkien has expressly stated his entire world is supposed to be "redolent of the North West of Britain and the hither lands".

      @@LivingAnachronism It's a good edit, a nice video simply put. I love the old movies as well as Tolkien's books.
      But this circle jerk of hate for this show is honestly ridiculous. None of us have seen the show, so how can we be sure anything is being "bastardized"? Apart from casting, which I think is dubious at best to present as a "bastardization" (as long as real-life race issues don't play a role in the actual story - politics, dialogue, etc - I don't think it should matter what skin color the actors have), there isn't really anything we know so far that would be at odds with Tolkiens vision.
      Deconstructing the "critique":
      Let's start with the silly trifles:
      Beardless dwarf female: it is actually uncertain whether dwarf women have beards or not in Tolkien's writing. The idea of them having beards mainly seem to come from a runaway joke by Gimli in the Two Towers.
      Short haired elf: maybe a bit more lore unfriendly, but is it really impossible to imagine that one elf would have shaved his hair? And why the hell does it matter so much? In my opinion it will be much more important if he talks and acts like an elf...
      The character issues:
      Galadriel being a warrior: if she is presented as a warrior it might be somewhat of a change as to what Tolkien envisioned. There are very few female warriors in his own works, and even Peter Jackson gave Arwen a more active role (replacing Glorfindel) in the original trilogy. But will this necessarily be bad? It's not impossible to reconcile the idea of Galadriel having been more of a warrior type in her early years, and then becoming a wiser, more strategic figure - just like Elrond. It all comes down to the writing IMO. It's also a chance to give her a real character arc. Claiming that "female elves not being warriors" is an integral principle of the Tolkien universe is just plain dumb. Why? What would that principle add to the world and story?
      Another romance between an elf (Arondir) and a human: yes, these are allegedly very rare, but again, if they can hammmer home the sensitive nature of the issue in the writing it shouldn't be a problem in itself that they invented this particular relationship. Again, what would this addition in itself detract from Tolkiens world? Comes down to writing (which we haven't seen yet)
      The "big" story issues:
      Sauron being meteor man: it is not clear how Sauron came as Annatar to Middle-earth. Doing so by meteor isn't ruled out by Tolkiens writing atleast.
      The inclusion of Harfoots: they are established in lore. Not at this particular time in Tolkien's own writings, but the writers explanation of them being hidden nomads sort of makes sense to me. I don't see why it is an issue in itself that they exist. It comes down to what they will do.
      The time compression: is the only thing that is clearly "lore breaking". But it does make sense from a story adaption point of few, it would be impossible to tell a compelling story about the second age over hundreds of years, with human characters dying left and right. It just wouldn't work. Compare Jackson sort of (implicitly) compressing time in the fellowship of the ring, during the years between Bilbo's party and Gandalfs return.
      Final note: people don't realize that there isn't really "a story" of the second age. Amazon is not doing an adaption of a finished storyline such as The Silmarillion or Beren and Luthien, they are indeed creating a brand new story based on snippets of lore and worldbuilding of the second age. Of course, they will have to do this their own way - it's actually their story (even though it's based on Tolkien's world). They haven't "taken" anything from anyone, they have simply created more content based on their interpretation of Tolkien (as is their right - they fucking paid for it). There are millions of Tolkien fans and loads of fan fiction content (even published books). Interpretation is a double-edged sword: we all have the right to our very own view and idea of Tolkien, but on the flip side we don't have the right deny ANYONE else's idea. Not even Amazon's. Ofc we are allowed to disagree, but putting this kind of passionate hate into it... it's just sad. If you like it, watch it. If you don't, don't watch it. Is that really that hard to understand?
      PS: Claiming an Amazon produced series will fail simply because you dislike the company is silly. Amazon is just paying for the ordeal, writers and directors create it. New Line Cinema isn't less commercial than Amazon. And don't forget it was Harvey fucking Weinstein who greenlighted Jacksons trilogy.

    But the thing is so rotten to the core, that when the horses are shown with plastic armor from a 3D printer (specifically when compared to the cavalry of Gondor in the next scene), one realizes that this has no salvation.

      @LivingAnachronism  Год назад +18

      Agreed. The age of Amazon must fade. But, in my humble opinion, to do so requires the constant reminder of what they have done, compared with what it could have been. To remind everyone, that fancy graphics does not give a show heart. Hence the trailer. I'm with you. And my inclusion and allusion to Faramir's charge was to tell the story of long defeat, and honor the ancestors of the LOTR characters, that this show is supposed to be about. That the men of Numenor and their descendants in Gondor, were made of the same firm stuff. A direct contradiction and challenge to Amazon's take that we should "let the past die." And armor aside, that sentiment (which I added, not Amazon) makes me proud of those who fought against evil, and sad.

    You've succeeded. Through editing alone, you have outdone their hollow, pale imitation. What saddens me though, is that you have in a way, redeemed it as well.
    The sheer fact that you could, means that there was something there to save. And that it was worth saving.
    It proves that the efforts of _some_ of those working on this show, are indeed genuine, honest and true.
    It is evidence that among those labouring to bring this cultural battering ram into being, there are a noble few, sincerely giving their all to do justice to Tolkien's legacy.
    This saddens me, because *their efforts will be used against us, against them and most of all against the work they are trying to save.* Their blood, sweat and tears will be used to legitimize this false echo.

      Well spoken. And I had considered the potential for this to strengthen their argument, rather than weaken it. And i may still yet be proven wrong, in my assessment. However the fact remains, that whatever redeeming qualities my version may have highlighted, it is my version, and not theirs. And had they wanted to have this be their version, they could have. And seemingly, they did not. I do not for a moment doubt that members of the team and cast very much do like the LOTR and are proud of their work. As an actor myself, I understand this. Unfortunately, no matter how passionate they feel about their art, I have as of yet, not been convinced that it has resulted in something of quality. Perhaps it might, and I would be happy to be proven wrong. And perhaps the tactic from here, should that passion and those individuals present themselves, we should appreciate them, and embolden them, if they would be allies. But if the labor and love of others is a marketing tactic, then yes, I agree. Do not fall for it. And it would be despicable to wield the hearts of those with good intentions as a shield, by those with bad intentions.

      This is the worst part. There are very modern politics in Tolkiens works with Numeneor being a imperial superpower subjugating other races in Middle Earth like the Haradrim. A lot of Tolkien's inspiration comes from the time of WWI which was a great upheaval where the old age of Empires was falling in global war to give rise to nationalism. This could have been explored in a really cool way in the show but the showrunners clearly dont have any understanding of history or geopolitics to pull it off.

At least in my version and mind, it better honors the heart of Middle Earth, and the story of the long struggle against the dark shadow. And that honor, lineage, and sacrifice are ideals to uphold. This is my version of what the show should be, should it even need to be made at all. Make no mistake, this is not, I think, what we should expect to recieve from Amazon. I made this trailer not in anticipation of Amazon's show, but in defiance of it. We should not let the past die.

From what I’ve read the actors of gil galad,elrond and celebrimbor have perfectly described their characters as Tolkien intended them to be and the showrunners also seem to value a lot of friendship,journeys,good vs evil tropes in Tolkien and are also very knowledgeable in philology which Tolkien was an expert in

    Your's already has more coherent logical thought than the original teaser and in so doing is a much better piece of story telling. Wonderful use of the original theme music by the way. It was well placed and if I didn't already know this show was going to suck massively, it would have brought a tear to my eye at the thought of returning to a respectful representation of Tolkien's great work that is Middle Earth. All while you did not say little in many words, and expressing a far great deal more in a few. I'm going to go watch my copy of the Extended Version of The Lord of the Rings trilogy now, and forget that Amawoke even exists.
    Great editing Kramer, well done. Good Luck on your adventures.

      They'd say (and have said) that this "isn't related to Jackson's trilogy and not to judge it because it's a different thing". Which is highly convenient for them. And begs the question, why they highlighted that they cast people who look (like) the cast of PJ's trilogy, why they were shooting in New Zealand, and why they hired Weta.

    This was honestly so beautiful and pure in its minimalism, even just working with the little available. I’ve definitely been keeping a positive attitude toward the show, understanding from the beginning that no adaptation of the second age in particular is going to feel as fully Tolkienian as the Lord of the Rings, but man, just seeing it here so simply, I want to stay positive, but yeah, why doesn’t it look more like this? I think it’s just the meteor that’s really killing it for me. Old Celebrimbor also not helping. And “Brandyfoot”. Just hoping for the best insha’Allah.

  • @Insomniac434
    @Insomniac434 Год назад

    This was awesome. It strikes me as more of a companion to their trailer than a fix. I absolutely get why you went for the ring poem and including Jackson film clips, but I don’t think it will ultimately fit for season 1. I’d be surprised if the rings even begin to show up that early on and putting the poem in their season 1 trailers would set an expectation that will probably take several seasons to pay off.

      Thanks! Though unless I am mistaken, which I do not believe I am, that is the theme of the One Ring itself at the end. Placed there, after the hopeful scenes and theme of the shire (through the orchestration of "the fellowship") to illustrate that the story of the second age, is the story of fighting the long defeat. And no matter how beautiful the scenery, or hopeful the relationships, it is a sad story, which ends, in the shadow of the Ring, at the beginning of the Third Age.
