Yep. Great interview. The cast seem very pleasant and well informed about their characters... but of course it's been dislike spammed by people who probably haven't even watched the video.
This was the best interview I’ve seen yet. Such pure Tolkien oriented questions filled my soul. The actors are all lovely, charming people and I am excited and hopeful for what we will see from them in the series. I hope this show will bring more people to the literature as the Peter Jackson films did for me.
A very respectful and intelligent interview. No politics, no controversy just a collective appreciation for entertaining, and a timeless literary masterpiece.
Thank you, thank you so much for sharing these interviews! These are some of the most in depth I've heard so far! The Treebeard poetry was a lovely touch.
This is the best cast interview, really calm, no dumb topics are brought up, nice music in the background. Loved the treebeard poetry reading. Love the show. "We are all in it together" said Elendil in this interview
@@berondi from what we've seen so far, pretty much everything. From the trailers alone, it would appear that every canon character has been changed, often by removing traits and events from male characters and giving them to female characters (which completely changes who the characters are!), And there's absolutely no reason for it. Some of the changes are due to a squishing of time, which is slightly more understandable. Many new characters, and non canon history is added, mostly unnecessarily. Sprinkling in diversity, randomly across all races that have been well described, while ignoring the areas of tolkiens world that have diversity, makes it clear that the inclusion is political and not for story telling, which is distracting and disconnecting. Plenty of very interesting stories that could have been included here with diversity, but instead they were lazy.
Sauron would relish over the comment section of all of these videos. Organized hatred and bigotry which would feed him into existence. Glad the show will premiere in a few days and shut the haters' filthy mouths and send them back to their orc pits.
@@_maxcamargo lmao. Cool story bro. Keep telling yourself that. If you think this show is a good and faithful adaptation of Tolkien's work, you're dead wrong.
It began with the forging of the great films. Threads were given by Tolkien, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Three movies were granted to Jackson, great miner, craftsman, and shaper of the mountain of lore. And nine, nine hours were gifted to the race of men, who above all else, desired quality. But they were all of them deceived, for another show was made. In the land of Amazon, in the fires of Mount Prime, the Dark Lord Bezos forged in secret a master flop. And into this show he poured his money, his greed and his will to dominate all film. One show to ruin them all. For into darkness fell Tolkien's star, in Amazon, where no bathrooms are.
wow, this is actually the first time, that i can think positive of this new interpretation of tolkiens work. while i still think amazon is fully in control of the one rings power, and the adaption is just pure capitalist minded milking of a very popular and one of the best stories ever created - this video at least showed me, that many of the actors have actually been moved by tolkiens creation and made up their mind about some of the stories themes. thanks for sharing, and for asking such good questions during the interview.
Imagine being "moved by [Tolkien's] creation," reading the script, taking the job, and being part of destroying his work in contemporary adaptations. Imagine thinking your intentions matter(being moved) and thinking your intentions don't matter(all that matters is they were moved not where you were moved to). Then imagine being ready to swallow that shit.
@@FunnyDougy well, dont get me wrong, its still a massive shitshow and a pitty too. its happening all the time nowadays. mega companies take other peoples creative work and butcher it, adding themes or reforming characters so that they can be sold better to the market. its frustrating and enraging to me. i am trying to not let this darken my mood though. i try to boykott amazon and other companies as much as possible. it is what it is. ive expected this from the very first moment i heard that amazon puts their filthy claws on the lord of the rings. still, in this specific interview i ve heard several comments and thoughts about themes and ideas of tolkien that i resonate with. and some of them sounded quite genuine. i am glad though that the dwarfen bitch didnt get to open her mouth. im so fed up with that woman and what she had to say in former interviews. anyway, take it easy. and dont forget - the story itself cant be corrupted, it will always stay pure and wonderful, no matter what people are trying to do with it. ps: and also keep in mind - theres always someone that allows this / sells the content to these companies. those are to be critisized at least as much as the media
@@kongchangfan2237 We're talking about people in Hollywood. They are damn near ALL fake as hell. Even Joe Rogan doesn't speak in the same accent he grew up speaking. Every word out his fucking mouth is a little fake because he has to act every time. Everything they said was probably a wiki search, maybe even scripted. Everyone knows it, nobody cares anymore about that stuff anymore. As evidenced by the next to zero views on this kind of content. There isn't "always someone that allows this." They birthed a dim bulb who sold it off. It happens with entitlement and stupidity, not just arbitrarily.
Lloyd Owen gets it. If only his understanding had been the same understanding of the writers. Many of the actors are well cast, the writers of the show were poorly cast.
We shall see . I'm giving it a chance to work . If it doesn't ,I'll be the first to admit my optimism was misplaced . If it works, I'll give credit where it's due.
You sucked up to the show so hard just to get access to the cast and for what? Your integrity is completely gone your bias is blatantly apparent and your credibility is completely called into question at this point
@@LudwigWan I disagree..I think it's extremely funny :). Also the bit where Negrolas stands on a cliff with lightning flashing all around him as he raises his sword in both hands to the sky, exclaiming ' I HAVE DA POWAH!'.. amazing and pure Tolkien!

@@danfrancis2707 Wonderful, it seems like smart people are bigots who resort to saying media they don't like is a form of rape, actually diminishing issues for the sake of truly proving their superior intellect in quick pattern recognition. Thank you kind sir for your lessons in wisdom.
@@anni.68 I don't believe you, if you had read tolkien well then you would know that many of the characters have been significantly edited. With canon female characters in events they weren't in, moved to positions they didn't hold, and with canon male characters it's events they should have been in and positions they've been stripped from. On top of that you have squished timelines (more understandable), and tons of new characters (far more than necessary). Massive changes to the history. The areas of tolkiens world that are almost entirely people who arn't white is ignored and instead diversity is sprinkled across every race at random, which is just lazy. Genuinely interesting stories could have been built that would have allowed a natural inclusion and diversity.
Isilidur's actor: "He is a complex one. He had the opportunity to defeat evil and didn't." That is canonically false. He took it as an heirloom of his house, the ring, as representative of what it has overcome. They are butchering these characters! He also says that his father, Elendil, wanted him to become a sea captain. Are we going to focus on the actual themes at all? We are not going to get a charge of the rohirrim moment as we did in The Return of The King if the show manipulates the themes. It is NOT universal as in free to manipulate, it is universal in the fact that his writings, characters and ability to incorporate mythos are easily relatable to us as is. I can relate to the struggles of Faramir, but I do not need to look like him to relate. I can relate to Bilbo's sense of spontaneity and knack for adventure, yet I am not a Hobbit. I can relate to Elrond's despair and sorrow expressed in his grieving, yet I am no elf nor a loremaster. This show and its cast are disingenuous and frankly condescending. I love the books.

You've nitpicked one line, that is totally vague, and open yo interpretation, and ignored the entire rest of the interview which clearly demonstrates how deeply these actors understand Tolkien's themes. What's the point of even watching these interviews if you've already made your mind up about them?
Quite sad to not hear more about representation and their own private life stories. I would like to know more about their activism and not about this old Tolkien dude and his stories
@@TheDanEdwards So...it's not really related to Tolkien. But that's normal to you, isn't it? Because you are more interested in the political agenda in this TV show that uses the desgnation:Lord of the Rings. My suggestion. Please include She Hulk in one episode. So what?

Such drivel. None of the actors can answer any Tolkien lore related questions. It's all generic sounds without meaning or substance. Rather like an orange duck president giving his "amazing beautiful perfect whatchammacallit" speech.
@@anni.68 I’ve read them- and from every preview/trailer I have found multiple inaccuracies that completely contradict what Tolkien did write. So maybe you’re the one who needs to brush up on their reading 🤔
@@anni.68 Numenor, Miriel, Galadriel, Elrond, the harfoots etc. please tell me how what we’ve been shown or told by show runners is absolutely accurate or reflective of what Tolkien did write? You ask those who have issue with the ROP to justify their opinion, yet I have not seen one justification on your part of how it is accurate beyond stating you’ve read his works. Well, you justify the accuracy, and justify why someone’s comment was ‘stupid’.
@@anni.68 The problem with Galadriel is that she's not a warrior in the books. Her strength comes from her magic, her wisdom as well as her ring. The only recorded battle she takes part of is the First Kinslaying, which we don't know if she even drew a sword. The whole "without my sword, what am I to be" line doesn't fit with her character. Also, the trailers make it seem like she's the ONLY one in all of Middle-earth who is suspicious of Sauron's presence, which we know isn't true. Elrond, by this point in the Second Age, should be one of the greatest loremasters in Middle-earth. He is one the wisest Elves in all Middle-earth, arguably wiser than most of the Elves that came from Valinor which includes Galadriel. To say he wouldn't be as suspicious of Sauron as Galadriel, if not more, doesn't hold true to how Elrond is in Tolkien's writing. Harfoots are not the ancestors of Hobbits. They ARE Hobbits. Specifically, they are one of the three breeds of Hobbits, the others being the Fallohides and Stoors. As for Hobbits being in the Second Age, it's jarring because Tolkien never mentions them in the First/Second Age because they had no significant impact in those time periods. The existence of Hobbits was unlikely to be known to the other races of Middle-earth until the Third Age. Did Hobbits exist in the Second Age? Sure, but it feels like Amazon is shoehorning them into their show because...I guess they like Hobbits?

I have watched 10 times how Charles Edwards read the poem
i loved the way the questions were put. no nonsense
Thank you, thank you so much for sharing these interviews! These are some of the most in depth I've heard so far! The Treebeard poetry was a lovely touch.
It truly is a story of hope and it always gives me a little of my childhood back.
This is the best press junket interviews I've seen. Such thoughtful questions!

This is one of, if not the best, interview about rings of power I have seen.
Agreed
Great job, Cliff! Our Celebrimbor has a talent for reciting poetry!
I'm not sure why, but this interview has a wholesome feel to it throughout the entire thing lol
What a thoughtful, intelligent group of people.

I confess this interview has restored some faith in me about the series
Excellent! THE best interviews yet. Keep up the good work!
This was outstanding well done Cliff!! 👍👍👍
The best interview with the cast. Congratulations
Great Interview guys!
I was waiting for the immortality question for Morfydd'd group :(
Beautiful interviews 💛
That was great!
The questions were good. I fear that no one asked THE WRITERS these questions. 😅
I like my first impression of actors to be as their characters, but I'll definitely be coming back to this video later on!
One of my favorite Cast interviews of all time. Just incredibly wholesome - Cliff is a great interviewer.
