There's so many hot actors in this show, Ben Walker, Elendil's Lloyd Owen, Sauron (Charlie) & Adar, of course, Sammi Hazeldine (?) if you're a bit metal 😅
I've been putting off watching this show until my well feels less poisoned, but this makes me anticipate the day that I do! I think I disagree (in so far as I can just in principle, pre-watching!) with the comments that call for more casual, naturalistic speech or pronunciations. Going more theatre or Broadway could at least in theory be a valid stylistic choice.
Only their rolled RRRs are completely overdone, the way you would do it if you're imitating a sound that isn't part of your native language. There are tapes of Tolkien they should've listened to.
Even with knowing tolkiens middle earth history pretty thoroughly, I still have a lot of love for this show & thinks its a great adaptation … I mean a lot of people want to bash & complain incessantly but fail to provide an alternative method of adapting the story properly … so far many things that may have seemed extra or nonsensical etc may actually be building towards something important or provide character/world/lore insights that r necessary for context or will serve some purpose impossible to yet see … also I have no problem with call backs like they dont take me out of the immersion & also actually make the world feel more cohesive .. personally as off yet there hasnt been anything that truly enters the realm of just a simple cash grab .. but thats just me
There are dozens of videos online that provide an alternative way of adapting or changing the story without making it seem like something an idiot would think of. Trying to find something good in show is work.
@@flashyflash7152 just realized I didnt mention the downsides like extra stuff that really is just pointless & muddies the plot lines … Like how could they make Bronwyn such an essential character & then just kill her off .. & srry for my statement abt there not being alternative ideas on how to do the story rt .. My bad Im sure theres ofc probably plenty of idead out there so Ima go check that out .. Also, I feel like theres wayy too much runtime which takes a lot of the sense of urgency & pacing that the trilogy had .. Literally the whole LOTR Extended version is abt 12 hours (+ The Hobbit = 22) hrs & when all is said & done this show will be like 40 hours of the second age ! Shits crazy .. def likely too much tbh
@@ExodusM30Don't let the opinions of people who *want* to hate the show influence your enjoyment. I'm under no illusions that it's perfect, but people who go to hyperbole like the show is "something an idiot would think of" will never be engaging with it in good faith. Just watch it and form your own opinions, and hopefully have fun doing it.
I like the show but I hate that they changed the Black Speech from the Black Speech created for the movies. The language was developed for the films by linguists who only had the Ring Verse as a reference and the language is perfect. The new language does not resemble the original language developed by Tolkien at all and has nothing to do with the inscription of the One Ring in Black Speech.
A few really good actors, an abysmally written show, and the fake rolling of the "r"'s when none of their accents do that for any other word feels so fake and hollywood takes me out of the show every time.
Do they honestly not realize how unintentionally hilarious they sound? They all sound like they're deliberately making fun of rolling r's, it sounds absolutely ridiculous
Just don't watch it wtf You don't have to like it but be mature enough to let others have their fun if they like it. Some people just complain to complain - unhappy in life much?
Get a grip, dude. If everything that someone didn't like got cancelled, there would be nothing left to watch. Besides, the deal with the Tolkien Estate was for five seasons, and season three is already greenlit and well into pre-production. I think you might just have to get over it instead, since your wish won't come true.

I like the actors, I kinda like the story, I like the CGI, I like the sets, however, the big problem is the directing and editing. And some actors act like they are on a Broadway. If you act in a fantasy show like this you have to act in a very realistic way because we the viwers need to have the perception that this world is real.

I love how he explains the schwa
I know right 😂 even my English teachers couldn't explain it this well to me.
Everyone should know what a schwa is.
@@MeravIsrael sorry? Schwa is a type of vowel found in the english language. What are you referring to?
@@ahsokatano9070 the origin is in Hebrew. Like the origin of the words cider. Sabbatical. Amen.
Guess witch billion dollar show won’t need any trophy polish🤣
I don't know why but we need Ben to host all these discussions.
My whole mind relaxed like Owen said "Namarië". It's such a nice word to listen to, and he's got a good voice.
It’s just tickles me that Ben plays such a serious character when he is so freakin funny
This show made me a fan of Ben Walker for how smart he is
Hang on I’m still stuck on Lloyd Owen saying “Namárië” 🥵
Gil gadaddy😂
Lord, that was sexy 😅😅😅
OMG this is the funniest, I love the cast! ❤❤❤

Gesundheit 😂 Großartig 😎
I love this show 🤩, it keeps getting better and better can't wait for the next season
They all seem like lovely people. Elendil in particular was wonderfully cast. It saddens me that the writing and overall story is so weak.
Ehhh most of them do 😉
The story is good tho.
I have watched this so many times. I love it. ITA about Ben.
That sounds more like “no money“
A great group of actors; talented & know how to have fun!!!
Such a great cast. So underrated
Ben is so fun ❤❤
Love the show and the actors 😊
This is proving we need more elves with beards. Push the trend, Cirdan!
And by the way, why doesn't Disa have a beard.? Why not?
@@marksmith3947 she has a bit of beard when you look closely but not much
@@marksmith3947she just has long side burns from what i saw.
This is fun❤😂

There need to five million more of these videos.
Love this show❤️🔥

They need Peter Jackson
Aw so cool! Love the cast ❤

That would require them to care about Tolkien, his world, or his ideas.
I think that's why the Welsh actor who plays Ar Pharazone sounds very natural & unforced. Galadriel's actress in particular was way too OTT.
The man who played Gandalf kind of looks like Daniel day Lewis
I can't pronounce any schwa 😂so last 10 years I've trying to fluent in Korean but there is so many schwa

@@PurtyPurple it's awful to see how people will always keep on hating a new production/version of anything.
This cast (and the audience) really deserved better writing... shame on you!
I love this show! 💞 I really hope that all five seasons end up being created. 💗

Carl Hostetter, one of the most well-known Tolkien linguists, is the one reconstructing Black Speech for the show, and yet you doubt him?
@@echuidorYES!!!
@@echuidorah so it's not David Salo from LotR? But is there some continuity?

im at season 2 episode 2 😁
Smh, your show is an atrocious bastardization of tolkeins work
The rolling of the R’s is soo cringe just like the show
Tolkien intended the rs to be rrrrolled!
I can't imagine hating Tolkien in public like this, so embarrassing
Booooo

@@Bindi342 Its not someone who doesn't like it, it is nearly everyone.
@@Gothalon Nearly everyone just isn't true dude.
@@Gothalon Bollocks. Everyone I know who watches it at least likes it, if not loves it. My point still stands. Get a grip, and get over it.
These people hate Tolkien. They ought to be ashamed
This show is garbage.
Hot and Sour is the best ship!
🧿❤️🧝♀️
Sauron x Galadriel
They are the real winners, hahaa. Just took the money, no matter the show is a disaster. Good for them.
I like the show but I can understand why the true lovers of Tolkien don't appreciate it. But this series is only based on some of Tolkien's work. For television you need to change things because what works on paper sometimes doesn't work for one hour tv.
I like the actors, I kinda like the story, I like the CGI, I like the sets, however, the big problem is the directing and editing.
And some actors act like they are on a Broadway. If you act in a fantasy show like this you have to act in a very realistic way because we the viwers need to have the perception that this world is real.
So my advice would be: hire good directors because they also have influence in the edditing room.
If the edditing is bad it will ruined everybody else good work.
Stop pushing this idea that a true lover of Tolkien can't appreciate the show.
@brewster_4 Curious how many true Tolkein lovers can enjoy
Elrond & Galadriel's 💋
@@kaidan725Really? I wanted them to bang
Love this cast. First interview I’m seeing of them-so fun and charismatic! I’m loving season 2 and can’t wait for the finale ❤
