THANKS FOR WATCHING!!
Here's my Full Lord Of The Rings: Rings of Power Season 2 Episode 1 - 3 video with a bunch of references to the books. Post all your reactions in the comments! Here's my House Of The Dragon Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms Trailer video too! ruclips.net/video/gIe1a1POtrM/видео.html
Cant wait to see how sauron convinces celebrimbor forge the nine.
I said this to other channels and I say it here as well. Stranger said when you hear your name spoken you feel your heart glow, Halflings talked about the "gand" infront of the stranger but he didnt feel a thing. So this strengthens my theory that he's not Gand-alf, the stranger is Saruman, although if he's indeed Gandalf he is probably using the name Mithrandir. But I like my theory better, we need to see the good Saruman that Gandalf looked up to.
@@acedobleace possible, however Mithrandir was the name the Elves gave to the grey wizard. In Valinor he was a maiar given the name Olorin. We'll have to see what the writers chose to do with this Stranger?
Et tu Adar?
I don’t believe it was the hill troll that grabbed Theo. I think it was the trees, someone was cutting a tree with an axe and then the same axe was thrown into someone, so I think the Ents or Huorns woke up and attacked the camp and grabbed Theo.
My black speech is a little rusty, but I believe he’s saying, “55 burgers, 55 fries, 55 tacos, 55 pies, 55 cokes.”
IM TRYING TO DO SOMETHING
Lmao
He says “ my body of the sky, made of light, refashion me a body for this earth, grant me my armour of the ethos, of the sky.”
Sir this is a bank
"For the Watch"
"Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make."
lol
Beat me to it
lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I said the same thing literally when I first saw the scene
So he’s Trump.
Quick correction. Sauron was maiar like Gandalf, not a Valar like Morgoth.
Kind of major
@@deankruse2891 yep Major
A quick major correction, but yeah, that's a pretty major correction.
gandalf not a maiar, but a istari
@@colinmccarthy3996 he Is both
When Sauron is lying on the floor, surrounded by Orcs, there is a short moment when he can see the bright light from above the cave. Then the view is blocked again by the bodies of the Orcs, while we hear black speech in the background, and the decision is made. Sauron does not follow the light, his spirit does not return to Valinor and ask for forgiveness. I love this little moment of choice.
Saurons body is actually destroyed a second time before the opening battle of Lord of the Rings. He gets physically killed in Numenor's destruction and he can no longer take on a fair form, meaning he can only form into his true representation which is the larger imposing figure you see in armour at the beginning of The Lord Of The Rings... Underneath he is black like charcoal (because he's burning hot) and apparently monstrous looking.
Wow, I didn't know that
Huan , the hound of the valinor nearly kills him , when Sauran changes to a werewolf to kill Lúthien and Beren think its first time he experianced fear of physical death , changes to smoke I think and then a bat to escape , pretty much lays low after that until the second age , must have taken alot of time to recover , even though he was'nt killed physically .
Sauron: “ I will help the orcs raise but you will all die in the process”
Orcs: “ you die first!”
Sauron: “ ok 😎 “
A cockroach crawled on my foot while I was watching the spider scene and let me tell you, I screamed like a girl 🤣🤣
Weird way to announce to the world you’re gay
Just imagining that scenario happening with me gave me a mini heart attack
I’d pass out
Sounds good 😂🙄
@@nicholsongalvez7719my friend had a water bug in her house and she ate it.
I date men now. 😊❤ black men. The thuggish ones only 😊😊😊❤
Theo was taken by an ent, not the troll
Yes!
Yep
i was also thinking it could be an ent. The only issue is we see one of the bad guys in that moment gets struck by an axe to his chest before theo starts running. I dont see how ents will be together with someone who throws axes.
It’s got to be ents. The guy chopping the tree with an axe gets it thrown back at him by an ent. This is going to be epic.
He’s definitely Gandalf. They need him in the show to show how he gets the elf ring in Lotr. The evil sorcerer is probably gonna be a Nazgûl
That happens in the Third Age though. They don’t NEED to show it. They have him wear it, but I don’t even think the movies mention it is one of the 3 elven ring s
The Nazgûl are the 9 cursed kings of men so not a Nazgûl.
I think Sauron knew what was going to happen when he gave that speech to the orcs. One of his main talents is manipulating people into doing what he wants and he seems to knows how people are going to respond. Yet, he couldn’t have done a worse job or reading the room in that situation. Surely he knew how the Orcs would respond when he said ‘a lot of you will die’. Also, stabbing that orc so many times was unnecessary. Also, surely he at least at an idea that Adar was bluffing, yet he put himself in such a vulnerable position anyway. When Galadriel tried to stab him, he had zero issues stopping her and I don’t think he’d of had any issues stopping Adar either. Plus doesn’t he have very powerful magic? He didn’t use it at all. I think he wanting Adar to think that he is dead for some reason. It would be strange if doing so makes him weaker, but who knows.
Doesn’t make sense with Halbrand’s reaction to Adar when he first saw him in S1E6
@@rashmirathnayake_ I was not 100% sure if Halbrand allowing himself to be captured was before or after that but I think it’s before? I thought that was what he was referring too. Like “remember me, the guy you captured, had tortured, and let go?”
I was pretty happy with how fun these episodes were and hopefully it only gets better each week.
One video to rule them all! Another great video Charlie!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
The coronation was for Miriel, the Eagle came for Miriel, yet the Farazod crowd claim the eagle is for Farazod even when it started screaming its head off and flew away when Farazod approached!
Obviously, the strategy of misinformation doesn’t just happen on our Earth.
Just another example of the Numenorians being incredibly stupid for some reason.
This was horrible writing that never happened lol.
I feel like it was the work of that young lady that stole the magic crystal ball, did she make the eagle come? Seems like that was her idea she was talking about when they were drinking in the tavern, to rally behind the male cousin if thry saw a good enough sign to.. could be wrong
@@kslayy5409 No, the Eagle belongs to Menwe leader of the Valar.
The first 15 min of the first episode is better than all of season one .
I agree ☝🏾
FACTS!!
I agree as well lol, the writing
, the color grading, the effects everything just got better.
Well, season one hit literal 0 many times... would take the hand of god to make something worse.
Anything is better than season 1. But no, the first 15 minutes of season 2 was still hot trash. Sauron having to convince orcs to follow him is like Tom Brady trying to convince Patriots fans he's good at football.
Very charitable of you to offer any praise whatsoever.
Sauron getting stabbed by the orcs gave off "Julius Caesar being stabbed in the Roman Senate" vibes. No idea if it was deliberate, though.
Et tu Adar?
God I loved the start to this season. For me it was night and day different from S1 and so much better. Definitely some negatives still but nothings perfect, this at least is so much of a better product than that garbage we got before
It felt more epic but I also feel like they had this footage in season 1… so they spoon feeding us scenes.
I was checking all morning and afternoon yesterday looking if you dropped episode 1 breakdown and was getting worried you wouldn’t be doing them anymore. Then you dropped this big video so hooray so I finished episode 2-3 late last night so I could watch it.
Same!!
Appreciate your videos. No one i see does explanations like you do.
Your very good at this. I was looking for this video all day.
You're very welcome!
Nerd of the rings is doing specific Tolkien videos, very worthwhile too
definitely worse than “Nerd of the Rings”
"Galadriel is Elron's mother-in-law"
Gives off the "I can't be with you so I'll be with your daughter" vibe after this series...
😂😂
I think Theo is gonna turn out to be the Witch King
Nice theory!
@@emergencyawesome The witch king is supposed to be a Sorceror in his Human days as a mortal
I like if he became the king of the dead
I believe there is reference somewhere that the blue wizards (or at least 2 that we know of) were Alatar and Pallando, but that could their names from Valinor, how Gandalf was ‘Olórin’ and Saruman was ‘Curumo’.
That's correct, it's written in the Unfinished Tales.
Wrong Olorin is** Gandalf’s Valinor name
4:48 I love how this opening scene recalls S1E6 "Udun," when Adar and Halbrand/Sauron first meet, after a chase on horseback. Halbrand/Sauron asks Adar, "Do you remember me?" Later, when Galadriel interrogates Adar, he tells Galadriel that he killed Sauron.
I thought the scene with Cirdan about to toss the rings was Ulmo nudging him to use the rings. A bit of a stretch.
I wasn't sure if it was Ulmo (or Uinen or Ossë) indicating that Cirdan should keep the rings and they should be used, or rejecting them from his waters in a "don't dump them here, I don't want them!" way.
I am getting the feeling Theo is a king of men and will be one of the 9 wraiths. It will make it more dramatic for all the characters that know Isilidur and Arondir
Oliphaunts are not from Rhun, which is in the east, but from Harad, which is in the south!
Haradrim and Eastlings are different people, Harad and Rhun different realms
If Theo is descended from a line of kings - could he eventually end up being the main ring wraith? The Witch King of Angmar? Or maybe just one of the nine
Season 2 is a lot more enjoyable to watch than season 1
Its worse I watched all three episodes, but its so lack the mysticism and the character of the lotr trilogy what a waste of good money
True
Womp womp@@nadeeshadissanayaka2015
true, these three episodes alone are better than the entire first season
@@nadeeshadissanayaka2015 yet it’s still better than the acolyte 😂😂
Personally I loved season 1 if some of it was a little clunky and didn’t make a whole lot of sense, season 2 has started off great as well, enjoyed the Sauron back story and unveiling of Annatar was brilliant
So did I! And so pleased they’re doing it. I thought after the battle of the five armies, we would have to accept there would be no more Tolkien adapted to screen. But 🎉
Same here
Teo was grabbed by an Ent, as the orcs where cutting down a lot of trees, the ents emerged to fight the orcs
"Escape is not his plan." at 47:00. They are quoting Darth Vader.
i had an urge to face him alone when i heard that line.
Both Adar actors did a great job. Honestly, the recast of Adar is by far the BEST Actor on show, save for Durin. The new Adar actor carries the weight and the tone of the world. He looks natural in his role, where other actors may not so much.
This is what I was about to say. The new actor does such a great job and fits so much inside the series
Theo definitely got grabbed by an Ent, not the troll. Chopping the tree was a clue
I notice that this season gets a lot better because they has done away with mysteries. Sauron is no longer a mystery, we just get to see how he manipulates. Numenor secret room no more. Istari is/isnt Sauron, no more.
Who are the wizards?
Yeah, Sauron defeated, stabbed by some orcs. What a pile of garbage lol
I think Theo was grabbed by an ent, also guy chopping tree foreshadowing that
Episode 2 Nori says he will need a Gand to use his power. Thats where Gandalf comes from
Interesting catch...
I heard her say that too..that's when I knew it was Gandalf
It’s also around the same time Nori is trying to give him a name. I feel like it’s a huge clue.
Gand is talking about the staff he's looking for.
but I think he's Gandalf too, just in another body like we just Saw Sauron do.
am I the only one who noticed Nori saying a name similar to radagast??
How do elves reproduce when all of their males are gay?
Quick question: Halbrand not only touched the mihtril used for the dwarfen rings, but he also touched the mithril used for the elven rings. So could this mean that, unlike in the books, the elven rings are directly influenced by Sauron? That seems like a huge change.
In case you want to take a look, it's at 10:27 in S01E08
I feel like they were trying to do something subtle with the red outfit with Farazod, and how he knew Miriel wouldn't wear red, so he wore red. Somehow knowing the Eagle would recognize the colour and choose the person wearing that colour. I know it's STRETCH, but they really lingered and zoomed in on his red cloak as the eagle was screeching and people chanting, so I couldn't ignore it. I feel like they tried to make a connection but it didn't hit the mark.
Nice theory!
It's obvious The Stranger is Gandalf and the other Wizard is Saruman...the casting, costumes, etc make it painfully obvious.
I think the wizard is the witch king of Angmar.
Gotta love the translation text: "When he tells a sealed door, that Numenor will eventually return to middle earth" 😂😂
I think Theo got grabbed by one of the Entwives.
Just an ent probably
FYI, you referred to Sauron a few times here as one of the Valar (a Vala). He is not. He is one of the Maiar (a Maia), a lower order of beings. Specifically, the Valar were those of the Ainur who went to Arda. Sauron was neither.
Well, personally I think season 2 so far is definitely better than season 1 atleast, I’m more entertained
I do hope that Theo is a King of Men and becames a Nazgul.
So far so good. Much better than the start of Season 1. Better pacing and the writing looks improved. I will say, the Orcs look f*cking great. Certainly spent some money on the costumes and makeup department this year.
If they focus on Sauron and his story Arc I think we will be OK. If not, just a repeat of last season's mistake.
When Sauron was stabbed, I believe he said, "Oh no. Not again." Or was that John Hurt in Spaceballs?
NO BLACK SPEECH TRANSLATION YET?
It's been two hours since this was uploaded!
;)
I have some spare time so I tried to make out what Sauron whispers as he closes his eyes after the brutal attack of the orcs. I cannot come close to making sense of it. I think a script might help or some sound editor to filter out background noise. Pretty certain it would be Black speech from him.
As for Adar, just after the whisper he issues a command, it sounds like "yoke" but is probably "Rrok" which, according to one Orcish Dictionary I found, means "Hold" or "Held".
Who knows, it must be scripted somewhere.
@@palmergary thanks for the effort! I’m sure one day we will know!
Only Snoop Dog can translate “black speech” haha
@@RobertGardner1 I could barely make it but I think he says "Go Go Sauron blood magic"
@@ashwins5255 LOL
Without your explanation - the whole show is a muddle. Thank you
You bet!
I took it to mean that Ulmo rocked the boat so as to save the rings from being tossed into the Sea
Funny watching Elrond fighting with his mother in law. I wonder if any of that exist in this lore.
If it ever did, Tolkien knew what was up lmao
Also Elrond trying to destroy the Elvin rings when he later becomes a ring bearer himself.
@@brandonreed09 Because he comes to terms with what they are. Didn't you watch the episode?
@@beezusHrist yes. I was trying pointing out the irony of the situation.
@@brandonreed09 He doesn't inherit the ring from Gil-Galad for hundreds of years. I think that gives him some time, don't you?
I really didn't like season 1. I thought it was mostly just nonsense and bad writing.
But I would be lying if I didn't acknowledge that there seems to be at least some improvement to the pacing. The dialogue is still weird. Like anytime the elves talk it still has that "Flowery pseudo poetic language" thing where I just think the people writing the dialogue are not good at poetry. Like I don't think an elf would say "Like an eagle your mind takes flight." as much as I think they would say "What bothers you?"
I ilked the Cirdan scenes. Ben Daniels does give off that magnanimous elven energy more than many of the other actors. Although the timeline is completely jumbled, Charlie Vickers as Sauron remains probably the best part of the series. I'm not completely sold on his ability to manipulate people, as it is rather obvious what he is doing whenever he is doing it. It kinda makes Celebrimbor seem like a complete idiot for trusting him. But at the same time, there are ELEMENTS of things here that I think are pretty good. Maybe it is mostly painted by the horrible impression of the first scene. Like you could seriously just remove season 1 and start the show at this point and not much would change.
The Numenorians and Isildurs storyline remains the weakest. I still like the actor that plays Elendil, hopefully he gets to do more in the coming episodes. But the whole Eärien inclusion and story beats are kind of dumb. And I just can't stand to see any CW actors on screen, sorry Miriel, you made horrible career choices early on, Spartacus, Arrow, etc, can't take this actress seriously when she's on screen. But I don't want these scenes to fail. I want to be sucked into the narrative but as it is right now I am not.
Except for Gandalf, sorry, "The Stranger"... but like come on, why be coy? Daniel Wayman is doing his best Ian Mckellen impression, and while all the other storylines are honestly bogged down and ruined by awful side characters this one is more focused. It's less about "What is happening" as much as it is about the characters in this storyline and I kind of enjoy that. But seeing where this is going. With Gandalf eventually going to meet "Not Saruman" and Tom Bombadil I just don't have much hope for this at all. They are strapping the storyline to a rocket to overshoot the shark to the moon. We don't NEED Tom Bombadil. We don't NEED "Saruman" even if they got a great actor to portray him. It doesn't show "We know Tolkien and we love Tolkien" when you jab characters in places where they shouldn't be.
Tom Bombadil is not a sage to tell Gandalf to embrace his powers to protect the people of Middle Earth. Tom Bombadil is much closer to what we would call a "Joke Character" in the way that Tolkien wrote about him more than half a century ago. Bombadil doesn't fulfill a purpose in the story of Lord of the Rings as a whole. He is a character, or a prop, to show us the themes that were important to Tolkien. The fact that he is seemingly omnipotent has nothing to do with his effect on Middle Earth or his purpose, but to show how someone with such awesome power would, and should be content with LOVING NATURE, and that's that.
I think they are going to use him as a stand in of Manwe or even Eru Iluvitar, that he is God himself to put Gandalf on his divine quest. And I think that is going to be quite... meh.
At 3 a.m. I was watching these episodes. I couldn't wait for Charlie to do his breakdown. I'm super excited for this season and super excited for all of Charlie's breakdowns. Much to look forward to this season. Thank you Charlie!!
Thanks! It took all day to finish my video for these episodes.
@@emergencyawesome You do it all for us, and we cannot thank you enough for ALL of your breakdowns. This 3 episode breakdown is epic.
I was actually offended when at the end, the Sauron actor got first starring credits
It's had a really good start hopefully they can keep it up and not drop the ball. Thanks Charlie
I totally want the silver ring that Galadriel has, it's so beautiful!
Sauron, Gandalf and the other wizards etc, Luthiens mother Melian are all Maiar...
Also, I am not sure where you get that Melkor especially when he fully became Morgoth is the most powerful of the Valar. He was actually weakened because of his corruption as far as I remember, and once the Valar actually entered the fray in Middle Earth he was defeated.
I though, from the Stranger's comment in the last episode of season 1, "always follow your nose", that it is clear he is Gandalf. Isn't it so?
Well...
I'm not trying to make you feel bad but to a lot of us it is actually so obvious that it is gandalf and it's making a lot of Tolkien fans upset just how obvious this show is.
I dont understand why Bilbo didnt get pulled into that unseen world when he wore the ring?
Well The Hobbit was finished well before LOTR and the ring was used as a plot point to help Bilbo escape Golem's cave with only hints of a sinister nature in Bilbo's dreams. Some speculate that because Sauron wasn't as powerful during the Hobbit that the world of Sauron and the Nazgûl was not as strong or did't perceive that the one ring had been found once more. Not until Golum was captured and tortured by the Dark Lord and he reveals its existence and location. All maybes but plausible
Welp you got my attention for the next 43 minutes😂
At the end of the first episode they show highlights for the rest of the season and The Stranger (who I believe is Gandalf based on all the foreshadowing) meets Tom Bombadil (spelling) and asks him to teach him about magic. The evil wizard could easily be one of the blue wizards as they went east and were never heard from. They don't have any backstory to mess up. Amazon could do whatever they wanted and just have the evil wizard be one of them.
Yea the shot of his blood/goo falling and pooling into that spot in the caverns is kinda subtle but the shot of it transitioning forward in time does show other rocks/formations moved in the area
I enjoyed season 1 it had some growing to do. This start to S2 really seems they cooking. Acting seems much better and the scenes are much greater. This has been such a fabulous 3 episodes I felt I was watching an outstanding movie. Excited for the next 5.
Are you serious?
What?!?! 😂
There was a point just after Nori and Poppy were suggesting names where they mention “Gand” twice in reference to the upcoming terrain. I wasn’t sure if that was a clue or if you thought it was a red herring. I was surprised you didn’t mention it in the breakdown.
Was hoping the eagle would eat the dude but it's not that type of series 😂
ikr! i was like 'push him over the ledge! eat him!' but no.....😔
I love the ROP. Season 2 so far has been a bliss to watch.
Wait… is this sarcasm???
Amazon does have the rights to use the name Gandalf. The stranger is Gandalf.
Watched them with friends and was shocked and how fucking awesome these were. Facebook is a shitfest with how many paid bots are in the comment sections I'm glad they sat me down to actually watch them. I don't miss house of dragons at all, I watched the movies back in the earlier 2000s and liked them but they were knew to me. I can't see a single reason why I wouldn't tune in to this every week holy shit the eye candy :O. No idea why jack black walked up to that eagle Gryffon.
If anyone can speak/understand full on black speech .. seriously impressive 😅
This new season has REALLY surprised me with its quality. I was really enjoying the first three episodes so far. I think its on a whole new level compared to the 1st Disney / Marvel -season series we had to suffer through.
As a first age lover, I would die to see Morgoth scenes in Galadriel’s dreams (?) or flashbacks… even though that seems highly unlikely…
I don't know if there's a rights issue preventing them from showing morgoth as an actual character. There were light flashback references to him during season 1.
amazon does not have rights for the main tolkien publications, they only have the rights for certain appendices in those writings, so none of the good stuff can be shown which also why theyre adding their own spin to their story like a galadriel who doesnt use magic, or harfoots who dont actually exist or a gandalf storyline which never happened
honestly they should have just acquired the rights and started at the first age with all the money they dumped into this show. Better to tell the story sequentially than through workarounds
Yes, it's a rights issue. The same reason we see the shadow of Ungoliant in S1, but there's no mention of her name.
Only another 53 years until the Silmarillion becomes public domain.
the black 24 speech that sauron says translated to english is = "my brother, meet me by the 30th arch from your home in 2025 jan 5 at 3 pm, I have a gift for you"
People thinking they can crash this show with their stupid nipicking is hilarious... Amazon is completely committed and the Nielson ratings are tops every week... The first season was very good and this season is keeping to that quality just at a different part of the story. They can only complain about what they could have done or shouldnt have done without talking about what was done right. It looked amazing and still is a triumph of film making. I love so many of the performances and the fantastical magical world the story encompasses. There is nothing that compares to the quality of this show. NOTHING looks like its green screen or the volume. The costumes, wardrobe and cgi are fantastic. You see where the money has gone, it isnt The Acolyte... Acting like Season 2 has been leaps above Season 1 is a cop out because if you hated season 1 so bad why did you return? And why did you watch the entire thing 🤣 people are weird. Hating your life so much to find something to complain about as much as people do is sad. If you love the books and tolkien so much. Read them!! Go away. Go make enough money where the Tolkien estate sells the rights to YOU and you can make the choices that will have people saying youre an idiot just lke youre doing!!! Because they are swimming in the money and loving their decision and what the showrunners have done with this ADAPTATION. The process can be endless and my fun will definitely never end. All the whining and tears feeds my ring. To rule all whiners. Its on my pinky toe!! So keep it up
Sauron is not a valar, morgoth was a valar and sauron is a maiar (like Gandalf) under his service
*Vala (one Vala, two Valar)
I love season 2 better than season 1
Nice!
You're the only one
Nope I love it as well
I wonder if acolyte season 2 would have been good based on what Charlie said. If they just gave it time to cook.
@@aquaham3564 no they’re not. I feel the same. Speak truth punk
A lot of comments saying you're the best I actually watch a lot of yt reviewers all the time. Also already watched Rings of power yt reviews before watching this. I know you're one of the best, but this video's details makes me think you are actually the best.
Nobody:
(Sauron at 100% power): Dies
I like the new Adar so far tbh
I speak black speech he said " the Pittsburgh steelers will conquer the NFL this year"
"Like and subscribe to Emergency Awesome," is what Sauron said, probably.
People hating on this show confuse me, I'm enjoying the expansion
@@jasonanderson-zv8xn I haven't seen much if any real hate but I could be wrong. Lots of likes and lots of criticism. Charlie's channel is a lot more moderate and understanding than some others I've seen on YT
@@palmergaryI have seen lots of hate and if people don’t like it-I’d rather they just not watch. Commenting everywhere just to trash it, will only make it difficult for those who do enjoy it, to reach the end of the story. Understanding Amazon’s limitations on the onset is helpful but I don’t get the notion that too many are doing that. I always enjoy Charlie’s videos. Even if I don’t like something per se, I leave with an appreciation for it anyway.
Read the books and you will understand why it’s messed up. Celeborn never went missing and even if you think the ring makes Galadriel more clairvoyant than she was then she would definitely know he was not dead. Galadriel is Elronds Mother in-law she should be making her own Kingdom in Ereigion by now and would be co equal or almost as powerful as Gil Galad. Elronds brother Elros would have been Alive in the Early Second Age, Elros died in 442 SA so Miriel and Alfarazon was the last king of the 2nd Age. So the time line is totally confused. Sauron was destroyed along with Numenor and he escaped to Mordor at the beginning of the Third Age. No amount of rationalization can fix what these idiots have done to Tolkein’s work.
I’d love for Peter Jackson to do a new trilogy of movies centered around battling Melkhor/Morgoth with that beginning of the first movie showing the Valar singing the universe into creation and how Melkhor begins to create his dark forces. With the main characters being elves and other long living creatures the thousands of years of time passing is easier then how the show is having to condense time with main characters being mortal.
As would I…Unfortunately, that won’t happen until the Tolkien Estate sells the rights to the Simarillion. They’ve been hesitant to do so thus far…..
You’d need a whole lot more than 3 films
For some reason the estate hated the PJ versions of the movie and refused to sell him any more rights. I’d not hold my breath.
@@darcyarzate4602 yea if I was doing it I’d do a movie every 2 years with a smaller series in between the movies
@@ytacct007 well now that JRRT and his best lore curator, Christopher, are gone the scrutiny about who to sell the rights to is diminished. Simon Tolkien isn't as discerning or protective than his past family members. So, the Silmarillian could be in play sooner than you think.
whats the diff with morgoth and sauron tho? Why can sauron continue to return and reform but morgoth couldnt? Since they both are "shadows" that return etc
It was the trees that attacked Theo and the brigands! 🌳 🌲 🪓
What's the lifespan of an orc? Wouldn't most of them die anyway, just because time would pass?
I’m going to guess (having only read two of the novels), that because of their link/lineage to the elves, they have a longer life span than man/dwarves? 😊
When Cirdan dropped the rings into the water it looked like a wave knocked them out of his hand and back into the boat. At the time, i took that as the Valar telling him, "no, these are ok and you'll need them. Keep it".
I gotta say, I enjoyed these more than I expected to. They really hit the ground running. I'm interested seeing where Nori, Poppy and the Stranger go from here.
The blue wizards are called alatar and pallando
Visually stunning, character development and world building. Pass the popcorn
I thought it was maybe an Ent that grabbed Theo, the visual language reminded me of Merry and Pippin meeting Treebeard.
Elves are almost like Jedi before their purge.. Too proud, too confident!
shshhhhhhh. are you crazy? i'd rather wake a balrog that summon star wars trolls here.
Actually I believe that spider was a younger not as grown Shelob, if I recall correctly Shelob's face was scarred in the same spot where Isildur stabbed that spider in the face.
I thought Shelob was a woman cursed by Sauron to become the monstrous spider, though I guess it could make sensed that she starts out humanish sized and then grows huge over time
@WiseOakDakota she was the spawn on Ungoliant a giant spider-like being of primordial darkness
@@iluvatarsbane2097 ooh dang, I remembered it from the Shadow of Mordor game, so maybe it was a loose cannon thing
@WiseOakDakota Yeah, that game series was very loose with the cannon
Saurons black speech translation:
"Delete my browsing history."
The dude was dark. Who knows what was in there.
All these beings eager to get married and just accepting rings from strangers in the dark😂😂
Season 2 is amazing. The only thing i hate is galadriel acting. Is just not fitting
And her extreme rolling of every single "r" there is to say lol
I absolutely lost my shit at the female orc with the baby orc
Lol. Or how cringe it was that the orc walked from far away to talk to him then cringe dramatically turns around right to his wife and baby 😂😂 as if they were on stage doing this for a theater drama 😂
@@jtboss8139it wasn’t cringe it was awesome the first 3 episodes were great, can’t wait to see the rest and what history clips they gonna flash back to.
"A storm is coming."
Thank you for all your hard work, Charlie!! ❤
I appreciate that!
It's Maiar not Valar in the case of Sauron, but that's kind of nerd nitpicking 😀
Great breakdown Charlie
Thank you!
