also .. it's Dolores ( as anagram for - or Delos )

This idea or concept hits hard when you were born into as cult .

I suspect season one is already Ford's fidelity story

"Better"? Try Best of the new stuff. I realize that isn't saying much, but it ranks up there with the original trilogy.

1. I think you may have missed the post-credit scene on the last episode: ua-cam.com/video/sC8gwqu1_L8/v-deo.html 2. The Bothans were mentioned in the briefing scene in ROTJ, not ANH. They have nothing to do with this storyline

I want to see more of my man Luthen!

Not only the character is really interesting, to the point og ending being the most memorable part of the whole series, but the actor choice was "chef's kiss". Andy Serkis is just amazing.

absolute cinema

I can't swim killed me from the inside

Cool video

Many characters are evil, but some characters are evil 2x

Honestly if you think about it from the perspective of the neolithic fathers, you start to realize, and I'm speaking from a place of no small experience and report, that the actual angle of influence in this dichotomy where are characters are faced with the impossible, is that you never really know that you love her until you let her go.

But what I really want to know is, what was Aragorn's tax policy????

And or what?

Yeah but he didn't eat a raw fish and then bitch about taters. So...

Such a good episode.

No.

Calling everything DEI/woke is just the new version of calling everything racist

worst fucking title for a video ive ever fucking seen, get a grip

Tysha was NOT a whore.

You can have diversity characters but Do Not make them mary-sue,They must have balance bewteen their faults and qualities.

DEI is good, objectively. If you don't think so, it's entirely possible you have too much weird personal identity investment in whatever it is you're looking at. Sword & sorcery fiction has been stuck in a horrible rut for a long time, just flailing in the shadow of Tolkien. "Guy who was always destined to win finally defeats the swarthy & untrustworthy races of the East & South." Put a fat guy with ADHD in it. Put a disabled bisexual in it. And for god's sake hurry up! We're bored to tears of the same old horsesh|t, and so is GRRM. As an aside, it's not exactly a surprise to hear this sentiment coming from the ASOIAF fandom, which (in the words of A-S-X) is doing the equivalent of staring at a parked car for 11 years making "vroom vroom" noises. Read some Ursula Le Guin & touch grass.

One of the key, most biggest mistakes I see writers make when trying to make their story more inclusive is that they forget to make it good.

Peter Dinklage!

Short man (short)

I remember rather liking this book and the author's style. Saw them on the shelf a few months ago and though I should give them a reread. Probably do that today.

Hey I adore this channel so if you’ll forgive me arrogance, I wanted to recommend a couple of books for you to cover: Conan the Barbarian: Queen of the Black Coast by Robert E. Howard Children of Hurin by Jrr Tolkien Call of Cthulhu by HP Lovecraft Armor by John A. Steakly

Great vid!

I think Jackson’s films capture Sauron perfectly, Sauron is a Maia, which is an Angel in Tolkien’s Legendarium, he is arguably one of the most powerful of the Maiar, second to Eonwe, the herald of Manwë. Sauron is a Fallen Maia, a Fallen Angel or Demon, he was the right hand man of Morgoth, who is the Devil, so if Morgoth is Satan/Lucifer/Samael then Sauron is Beelzebub. Jackson captures Sauron’s presence perfectly, an absolutely imposing figure in demonic armour capable of decimating entire lines of infantry with a single strike of his Mace, while the scene from the book where he wrestles Gil-Galad and Elendil was cut from the films, I think Sauron simply swatting Elendil away and then snapping Narsil is more effective at conveying how much more Sauron is than them. Then throughout the rest of the films we don’t physically see him, only as the Eye atop Barad-Dur, and while in the Books Sauron is not actually an eye, it’s also the case in the films, Sauron is simply projecting his will through his Palantir and the spires of Barad-Dur is a projector or conduit, for him to channel his will through the Palantir, because he isn’t limited like the Wizards are, despite being fellow Maiar, cannot exert as much as he can. The Eye is a perfect representation of his demonic presence, that he does literally see everything from his tower and is still far more powerful than everyone else, and he is still the most powerful being in Middle Earth without the Ring, he manages to corrupt Saruman completely and he used to scare Gandalf and Elrond even though he is vastly weakened without the One Ring. But by far the best adaptation and portrayal of Sauron comes from the Hobbit films, he takes on a physical yet spectral form, and it really emphasises the demonic and evil presence he has, to the point that it’s practically an extreme exorcism to send him out of Dol-Guldur, Benedict Cumberbatch even insisted on recording his Black Speech in reverse, they then reversed the recording to what it should be and the result is terrifying. While the Hobbit isn’t the best adaptation it did do Sauron the best, even though he is just mentioned on a few pages in both the Hobbit book and the Appendices of Return of the King when the Hobbit takes place. Rings of Power tries to capture how Sauron’s original motives prior to his corruption by Morgoth, and then after Morgoth’s defeat, were to turn Middle Earth into the beautiful paradise it once was during the years of the Lamps when the Valar once lived there. But his need of control and basically OCD on steroids drive back into his evil he had been corrupted into by Morgoth. Rings of Power wastes time with the whole Halbrand plot, when none exists in the books, and only establishes Annatar later, but Sauron did not die nor lose his body after the War of Wrath, he was himself up until he took on the form of Annatar, and he did this to achieve his desires to make Middle Earth beautiful and preserve it through the Rings, but he succumbs to Morgoth’s influence when he forged the One Ring, as he sought to achieve the goal through domination and began to desire to enslave all life to his will. When he puts on his Ring, the Elves are terrified and take them off, Sauron then fully becomes the Dark Lord we know and marches to Eregion, leading the hordes of Orcs, Trolls and Werewolves he had amassed, while Adar is an interesting character, he’s better off in an adaptation of the Silmarillion to show how Orcs came from Elves, not leading the Orcs against Sauron, as the Orcs willingly followed Sauron because they had little purpose and struggled amongst themselves following Morgoth’s defeat. While Sauron did dominate the Orcs initially, he was actually revered and adored by his Orcs as he treated his Orcs better than Morgoth had. Rings of Power is trying too hard to convey him as the master manipulator he is, but the whole Galadriel romance, Halbrand and the mish mashing of the timeline of events strips the presence he has in the Jackson films and Tolkien’s Legendarium. While Rings of Power does get his original motive correct, and that he does go to Eregion, does take on the form of Annatar and co forges the rings with Celebrimbor, he doesn’t take on the form of Halbrand, he doesn’t go after Galadriel and only focuses on the Rings, Galadriel in fact was suspicious of him and stayed away from Annatar. Rings of Power will always be the worst adaptation of Tolkien’s Legendarium, because it’s what Amazon wants, poor writing, inserting world breaking garbage and pushing the mainstream media messages that do not exist there, it’s not like something they can insert their own message into, this is where Jackson’s films succeed and Amazon fails, Jackson made sure to keep as faithful to the source material as he could whilst adapting it for film, I even argue Jackson made a lot of the characters much better. But he always tried to keep true to source material, even with additions like Lurtz, Tauriel, Azog and Bolg being present throughout all of the Hobbit etc. Amazon doesn’t care about Tolkien at all.

Love the video!! Movie is hilariuos😂😂

Just found your page like 37 seconds ago! subbedddd

man you deserve more subs

Bram Stoker did the same thing in “Dracula”. Dracula is the titular character (just like Sauron!), but rarely appears physically in the book, and when he does, is often shapeshifted.

The Aldani heist was my personal favorite arc of the entire show, not taking anything away from the rest of the show of course. When was the last time a Star Wars show made you scared of a tie fighter? The character and world building was excellent. I was legitimately saddened by the death of the various crew members, in particular Nemik. Also, the ship escaping through the eye was a visual spectacle! Very well done!!

Good reviews and thinking. I wander what you think of the bear season 3. I didn't like it very much but I need help to identify what's wrong about it.

Stopped watching upon hearing "So-ron". You don't need to do the ridiculous rolled r of horrible rings of power lady, but if you're going to have the pretense of talking about these things, then c'mon...

I love how your Harvey Specter looks more like Bart Simpson

So, did you finish the show?

Sauron does hold a grudge though. It literally caused his downfall. His grudge is with the line of isildur and it caused him to be blind to frodo and focus on aragorn instead. Thus his grudge caused his downfall. This guy knows nothing of sauron and his history yet whines and moans about rings of power.

Sauron lives in a tower over in Muuhahhaaa

&/or

Andor!

So would that mean there’s no right way to adapt the parts of the Middle Earth history where Sauron is active in person? Is Rings of Power a misfire because of the failures in choices it makes, or is telling the story where Annatar manipulates Celebrimbor and distributed the rings… or taking it back further doing Beren and Lúthien where Sauron is an on stage opponent to be fought, inherently not an option that can be done successfully at all?

He is not completely without representation. E.g. in his "normal" form, even without the ring, he was larger than normal (I guess 1.5 times - the ring was larger too). Apparently his skin or at least hands were also as hot as fire at least when fighting or for longer periods of time, at least before he was defeated by a bunch of big shots (who mostly died) with special weapons etc. and his ring cut from his hand. Already before that, after the downfall of Númenor, for which he was largely responsible, he apparently lost his ability to give himself a "fair" appearance, meaning, like Morgoth or most evil things, he was very ugly thereafter. His eyes are both metaphorical and literal. In the even more mythical times, before the downfall of Beleriand (which was like the first Middle-Earth, next to the familiar one), he could turn into a giant werewolf and a giant vampire bat, and probably other times appeared like a larger than normal menacing, intimidating elf, at least in the situation of sitting on a throne talking to prisoners... (I'm not sure about the latter part, or what descriptions were then, but it seems quite possible that this was sort of the image.)

I'd say this is far more of a problem for the films, where Sauron is mostly (except right at the start) portrayed as a dis-embodied eye on top of a tower. In the books, its clear that Sauron is at least humanoid, having nine fingers. He also briefly speaks when Merry looks into the Palantir, but his actual appearance is never described in detail. In ROP, his power is mostly only manifest after the reveal, where he does a number of impressive actions, effortlessly deflecting Galadriel's attack, and plcing her into a dream world. This is even more the case in season 2. I'd say this works pretty well in having a powerful villain who is also personalised. Its the norm in many films for a reason.

Awesome and the movie as well. The Magician

I think the other thing that people struggle with and RoP definitely messes up is that Sauron is a being as old as time itself. Sauron helped sing the world into creation and played a role in its ordering. He is countless thousands of years old, assuming “time” can even apply to one like him. He’s not a human with human thought processes. How does such a being be think, view time, view others?

Peter Jackson daid it was a big problem with having the villian as a flaming eye. Basically he said was they had commanders for him so they wouldn't have a physical representation of them.

Interesting format. Wasn’t too keen on it at first, but it grew on me. I hadn’t thought so much about the appeal of the show, but I think you’re spot on.

According to IMDB, Sauron has less than five minutes of screen time. That doesn't sound right when you think about how his presence is felt throughout the story, and that's because it's not. Whoever counted forgot to include the Ring.
