great actor, the look behind his eyes as Annatar/Sauron in Season 2 of Rings of Power is truly unsettling but here he's just a chill, normal, friendly guy.
@@dutchkel haha yes, imagine the guy who cast the sauron that Adar killed be the original, it would quite destroy all the charisma sauron had from books and movies
Vickers is a brilliant actor. He does so much with little micro-expressions, the shadow of a smirk or scowl. I'm enjoying the series very much (as a Tolkien fan since 1969.) And I'm especially enjoying his performance as a character who reminds me of Ted Bundy: charming and so evil.
I find him a hammy overactor. And he looks like every third Aussie knobend in a black hoodie that hits you up for a dollar on Russell Street. I think that really kills it for me. I keep expecting him to furtively look around and ask me if i’m “Jason” (iykyk)
@@creatrixZBD If Sauron can't be hammy, who can be? But I see a lot of subtlety in his facial expressions. I don't have a crush on him or his character; I'm old enough to be his grandmother. But I do enjoy what he brings to the character.
All season 1 I was thinking "is he or isn't he Sauron", although it seemed like obviously he is. Then on the season finale when Galadriel asked him, Vickers was really spot on with his acting... like, idk the words to put it, but it was like you could see the real Sauron come out in that scene. And on season 2 he is spot on - nothing like the "evil villains" in other movies, just doing his thing and quietly spreading evil everywhere... Seriously the perfect actor for this role.
The Vicker's depth of understanding of his character/s is just outstanding. I can listen to him describing the whole process of bringing Halbrand/Sauron to life all day long. How he is able to act both characters so different yet connected is just pure masterclass. I think the eyes, the microexpressions of his face it is where all the magic happens. Also with whoever he does the scene he is absolutely the focus of all the viewers attention, he owns the room, yet he is still acting in the environment and with others... I'm just absolitely amazed by his range.
Charlie Vickers is so amazing as Sauron. You can tell how much he loves playing him and he has done the research and homework to act like him. Charlie Vickers IS Sauron. Its wonderful!
I can't get enough of the scenes of Charlie Vickers as Sauron, honestly one of the best casting choices of this show period, especially when hes disguised in his Annatar form. Almost on the same line of hype as Peter Jackson picking Viggo for Aragorn❤️🤗. I can't wait to see more of him . Hes freaking killing it so far. Same with Charles Edwards as Celebrimbor, both of them in those scenes so far, both killing it 💯🔥. So hyped for the last 2 episodes of season 2 🙌
Классный момент, когда появляется Аннатар! У меня были мурашки, красиво сняли! Чарли отличный актер, видно как он проживает своего персонажа, молодец! Вжился в роль! Мне очень нравится сериал, и 1-й и 2-й сезоны! Я очень люблю Толкина, читала все книги, черновики, эссе, Сильмариллион несколько раз, всегда симпатизировала Мелькору и Майрону, Толкин хоть и называл их злом, но все же многие их поступки можно понять, не бывает абсолютного зла, Саурон интересный персонаж, достоин того, чтобы про него сняли сериал! Было бы круто еще увидеть других Валар и обязательно, чтобы показали, что именно Эру Иллуватор затопил Нуменор! Многим зрителям не совсем понятно, как в сериале идет время и почему героев из разных эпох показывают в одних сериях параллельно, думаю что создателям нужно больше объяснять то, как они это видят и понимают, тогда сериал полюбит больше зрителей! Я в комментариях многим пытаюсь донести какие-то мысли, но людям сложно понять, потому что объем материала очень большой, не все прочитали так много, как нужно, чтобы хорошо разбираться в лоре, поэтому отдельно для сценаристов, было бы круто чтобы они снимали мини ролики с пояснениями, например как снимали серию и почему добавили новых героев, которых не было в книгах! Мне например это понятно, но не все разделяют такое трактование! Очень жду 3-й сезон!
You’d have to ask Tolkien, it was his idea, lol. Probably has to do with Lucifer appearing beautiful to trick people since he was Catholic. And the character is a manipulator and vain and he’s only stuck as an ugly spiky doomlord later because the gods took his “fair form” from him as punishment.
I could totally see him playing a character like Loki too. Manipulating, cunning and charming at same time. Of course, Tom Huddleston is one of my favorites and IS Loki but I can totally see Charlie as a variant!
I find it interesting when Sauron says "the power of the flesh" because that fits Tolkien's theme surrounding temptation. The idea is that no one is immune to the power of the flesh when it comes to being tempted by something. And Sauron uses the Ring to amplify that, which is why it corrupts everyone's hearts that own it or are in its presence. Even if they seek to use the Ring for good, it will make the person holding it do evil.
I love the Annatar reveal! The effects & music are so amazing. It must be fun to get to play two "different" characters like Halbrand and Annatar. But I wonder if it's awkward to watch your own scenes like this lol. So excited for season 2!
1:01 Irrelevant but if you look at Adar's sword; you can see the same bunch of swords when sons of Feanor swearing their oath. He might be one of Noldor.
The thunder cracked me up when Halbrand starts his transition to Annatar. And the end of it when he is Jesus is the sky. I also cracked up. But it was all good. Numerous and delightful.
I’m actually rooting for Sauron (I’m so sorry for you guys 🥲) but hey Season 2 is just “Sauron does Middle Earth”!😜 Seriously though everyone gets on Sauron’s vibe stop fighting it (they just sound so silly trying to fight the feeling 💖)
I didn't know it was there until you mentioned it, and even then unless you are playing on 100% with your browser at 100% with volume master at 600% it shouldn't be that distracting
Idk why so many channels they keep on doing their background music. It’s 2024 why do we have to repeat again and again the basic. NO F****** in the background
that was such a terrible plan to begin with. sauron had no idea if it was even guna work unless he had inside knowledge that the writers were going to allow it.
Yeah, I heard it was… not great but I’ve been a fan of Sauron since I was a pre-teen and so I was curious. From two minutes in I was cringing at the dialogue (and just ???? at the character choices), but I was determined to ride it out. I’m glad I did because they/he did a great job. Fully onboard with this guy as the Dark Lord in human form.
Yeah, Amazon have managed to make a show so clever that they have to keep explaining what is going on. That there is a masterful new paradigm for the art of storytelling, and I'm sure all other filmmakers will be looking-on with baited breath to see if they succeed.
@@jeonwonwoos True, but I've never seen other shows promos, looking so embarrassed and openly mocking the material. Either way, the public has spoken, and it's not looking good for ROP.
Nope not a bad show.. the original trilogy had a lot of cringe moments a lot of plot holes and story lines that lead absolutely nowhere and people don’t complain about it but try to kill this show. In my opinion the show is great and has improved on gladriels and elrons characters
All actors are good, what show lacks is something....to bind the scene...this first three episodes were bit rushed but i have heard that from next things open up at normal pace....so looking forward what happens next. Once entire season is over will judge, but so far it seems it might be better then the first one.
@@KalebB.46 Sure buddy...whatever makes you sleep at night. The dialogue is horrendous (give me the meat, and give it to me raw, THE SEA IS ALWAYS RIGHT, I have a tempest in me...etc. I could go on) and the story-boxing is terrible...the use of allegory to preach sermons on contemporary politics is the most aggredious fault though, something the original author paid careful attention to never do...if you want to enjoy this show as its own thing or as fan-fiction be my guest, but this is nowhere near a decent adaptation of Tolkein...
Charlie Vickers ...breaks down, sorry mate ....i hope you get many more chances to shine ...but the show is the embodiment of screw you to the source material.
I feel bad that the bottle of first age wine was destroyed!😂
Poetic considering Sauron spilled a lot of blood, in the first age. and shattered a lot of lives.
I laughed when it was mentioned 😂 Then cried when it broke 😢
I thought sauron couldnt refuse some wine, likely he destroyed the bottle.
I agree!! How could he spill that good 🍷? I was like “No, grab the dang bottle before it breaks!!”😂😂😢
My reaction was like "No the first age bottle!"
great actor, the look behind his eyes as Annatar/Sauron in Season 2 of Rings of Power is truly unsettling but here he's just a chill, normal, friendly guy.
charlie has such a nice voice, i could listen to him talk for hours
Imagine if he did a tolkien audiobook
same

Him and Sam's are my favorite
I would listen to the reading audiobook over and over

thats literaly how he tricked everyone in middle earth

Agreed. The 2 Charlies are fantastic
Charlie Vickers was phenomenal this season! Amazing to watch him as Anatar/Halbrand/Sauron. He stole every scene.
It is so nice, I love to see Charlie speaking of his character!!!!
I want to listen to an audiobook with Charlie`s voice
Sauron is such a snake, which Mr. Vickers is really doing a great job of portraying.
This was delightful I could watch the whole season with him talking us through it

Very good actor! Great casting for Sauron.
He's really the best thing in the show, such a magnificent villain. And the show is so pretty to look at (including him, natch).
Love his acting in the show!!

Bear McCreary is so ridiculously underrated.
Bear's work on Outlander is fantastic
Absolutely ! (He popped off with the Black Sails theme if you haven’t heard it check it out)
Charlie is so sweet, it throws me off everytime I see him interviewed!
Charlie Vickers is absolutely killin' it as Sauron. So much so that I am rooting for Sauron. I want him to win. LOL
Charles Vickers and Charles Edwards were awesome as Annatar and Celebrimbor in the second season of the fantasy show 'Rings of Power'
We want Season 3 !!!
Thanks for the explanation and all the filming details! I can’t wait for the next episodes!
I am thoroughly enjoying Rings of Power.
I’m trying to enjoy it for what it is. Glad you like it.
i bet you do. its a serie for women after all.
It’s an excellent show!
I know! I can't wait for Sauron and Galadriels first kiss, it's going to be sooo romantic.
@@Ryansghost you’re watching the wrong show

It means power over people, not to empower the flesh, but to empower the spirit ( the unseen ) over flesh.
@@Feänor-h4y Yes and that ties into the Catholic undertones relating to the power of the flesh over people. That's precisely what I was referring to.
He wants to create "the power over the flesh" instead of "the power of the flesh" ;-)
He could be the lord of my ring any day of the week ❤️
😅😂😂
Me too😭
I love the Annatar reveal! The effects & music are so amazing.
It must be fun to get to play two "different" characters like Halbrand and Annatar. But I wonder if it's awkward to watch your own scenes like this lol.
So excited for season 2!
Thank you Charlie
What a great reveal! And I loved Charlie’s commentary. Great show!
Can he tell all of the scenes please I can watch and listen to him all day 😍😍😍🖤🖤
Sauron has enslaved you in his grasp
My crush was Thrandiul now is Saurun
great insights into his character! now ask him to analyze the log scene from 1.06
Charlie is so cute 😍
Love Charlie Vickers he is the Perfect choice for Sauron his talent executes the characteristic expectations
Give 👏 this 👏 guy 👏 an 👏 Emmy 👏
omg thank you thank you thank you
Charlie Vickers photoshoot when, Esquire UK?
Love the show … so much . I was definitely a late convert but so glad I watched it in the end.
"Let my people go" Moses?
1:01 Irrelevant but if you look at Adar's sword; you can see the same bunch of swords when sons of Feanor swearing their oath. He might be one of Noldor.
i think Adar is even older than Galadriel or Cirdan
It could be true. First orcs were infact Elves that were corrupted by Morgorth.
Great work guys,to all Rings of power, this 2 season looks awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It's shit

LOTR: The Two Charlies
Exactly
Love the show🙂
"He decided to reveal his true form to Thiago to convince him what to do"
As a LOTR fan, I looooove the show❤
It'd be a shame if Vickers' agent doesn't/hasn't put him forward for the next Bond.
please
This guy's eyes..
As Annatar, Vickers wears contact lenses. In an interview he says that it blured his vision.
@@gevatell3814 Yep. But I meant as himself without the contact lenses.
its so cool seeing a New Zealander as a main character in a popular show and in international interviews as at one point we weren't even on maps lmao
Charlie's from Melbourne 😭 (but otherwise, yeah!)
Oh really what show?
I don’t know why you think Charlie is a Kiwi as he’s Australian, born and raised in Melbourne. His accent is a give away as well.
😂😂@@OlessanYT
The show is great
Charlie😍🥰
Awww, I wanted to see the scene with the warg!
Halbrand made sure Galadriel wouldn’t say who he is, he told her they would cast her out.
Charlie Vickers is an awesome actor...He could also play Aragorn...He reminds me somehow of Viggo Mortensen!!!
I think he is supposed to
I just noticed in the freeze frame behind adar that saurons symbol is on the black banners
He is so cute ❤❤❤ I'm in team sauron
Adar is so cool :) sad, that he has gone:( great actor 👍 very handsome man:) And I loved seeing the two charlies together so much :)
Hail Sauron….
*Lord of the Earth.*
🔥👁️🔥
I have a crush on sauron❤
I need Charlie to read books to me....every night 😏
Sauron is the best
Celebrimbors fear of his work being meaningless and disappearing into oblivion - “give them a means of mastering their fear.”
You’re the best

Why does he look like a mid in real life, while super hot on screen. That hair cut is also obnoxious
Ha-ha! Maybe this means he is a good actor being on screen someone he is not in real life. I also noticed that he is very ordinary when not acting
that was such a terrible plan to begin with. sauron had no idea if it was even guna work unless he had inside knowledge that the writers were going to allow it.

It's hard to look him in the eyes without thinking of Sauron. At least he can keep his head held high coming away from this mess of a show.
I love how all these cast members are having to do these media appearances to try and explain what the heck is going on in this story.
It's obvious what's happening in the story. Sauron is faking weakness to take advantage of and manipulate Adar and his forces.
Yeah the show is too clever for a lot of people.
