I am a silent watcher of your channel. Just want to wish you the sucess that you deserve, as others already said it, you are THE voice of Tolkien in this troubled times. Keep going!
I am a simple Rohirrim, hence i let my gratulations here and click a like. Now i go back to Rohan and continue to feel old XD. (At least i didn't had you in the 70+ years range, but i thought you're around my 50^^)
This is wild - The direct descendant of actual Viking kings and rulers whose mythologies inspired Tolkien now runs the definitive channel on Tolkien’s lore. Mind completely blown.
Oh f.... I had feeling you are old and wise like Gandalf. 😃😃 Now I know you are just wise as Gandalf. Wish you many time more subscribers, you deserve it. Congrats man, keep good work. Love your content.
Thank you! If you like it now you got something great to look forward to. I’m super excited for some of the new stuff coming out! Let’s see how it performs with the algorithm 😁
Thank you! I’m honoured that anyone watches my videos. It’s still hard to fathom some days! Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙏 Have a great weekend 🧙♂️
Hahaha I don’t think it’s that special to descend from ‘Sigurdr’, just few are aware of it or are lucky enough to trace it back. Any yeah I really hope to do a mini-documentary where we will walk in the footsteps of Beowulf and learn that behind these myths might be some truths. I think Tolkien would have liked to see something like that 😃
@@CounciloftheRings reminds me of my Master’s Thesis on « Evil & Its Names in middle-earth » that i wrote in 2005… I read both Beowulf & Sigmund naturally + the Kalevala & Eddas. If only I had kept a copy of it 🤣
Here's an idea for good video: Rings of Power (being the shitshow it is) constantly breaks the lore of Tolkiens legendarium. I suppose they do it for artistic freedom, to tell a more "exciting" story and fear of writing themselves into a corner. But alas, the series gains extremely little if anything from these massive changes. Peter Jacksons trilogy also interprets/changes/bends the lore on several occasions, but his films benefits greatly storywise from it. Why does PJ succeed where Rings of Power fails? And is it okay to leave out lore to tell a better story on screen? Would you have changed something in PJs trilogy? If yes, what? I think a video like this is super viable these days. Nice to see your face Mellon
It is actually something the ‘Epic vs Modern’ video will cover. It’s about the characteristics of Epics and how many films, games and shows fails to make these epics come to live. As examples I’ll use Rings of Power, but also Jackson’sfilms a few times. It’s a bit broader in scope. I have considered a whole video dedicated to LotR vs Rings of Power, but it would be extremely long, I’m afraid that even after that, there would still be many things I didn’t cover. It would be easy if there were only 1-5 things wrong, but it’s closer to 50 (I’m not trying to exaggerate, though it may sound like it)
No. I don't want any adaptations of good things until the filmmaking industry has re-discovered good writing, normal morals and values, as well as some respect for source material and fans
Congratulations on 25k. Your videos and summaries are insightful, knowledgeable and very fair. Nice to see how much you appreciate and respect the books, and the lore. It’s an amazing world, well worth the effort to read and reflect. Love your work, p,ease continue the manner and content.
Thank you very much! I’m super excited for some of the upcoming content. I hope it perform well, but in any case it will be nice to finally tell some of this stuff to you guys 😁🧙♂️
I don't think my English is good enough, but it would be fun. It's funny that you should ask, I just uploaded this video (unlisted) where I play around with some voice-acting. The Death of Túrin Turambar: ua-cam.com/video/rld1opwWr2A/v-deo.htmlsi=nR_q23Imtf5HSuUP
@@SpiritofFeanor thank you! 🙏 It is a curious experience, to be honest with you. All my life I never heard a kind word about my voice. In fact quite the contrary. Often have I been ridiculed, perhaps most vividly by women, for my deep voice. Perhaps I sound slightly different in my own native tongue, though I doubt it. It was first when I started making videos on UA-cam that I heard any compliments. At first I did not believe it, but there must be 50+ of such comments by now, if not more. Still, to have lived 26 years without admiration or a single kind word, makes it hard to believe. But thank you for your kind words. Some day I might! 🙏❤️
RLM? Don’t know her/ him. The day I like Rings of Power is the day I lose my sanity. As I’ve said in previous videos - it’s objectively bad. It fails to follow common storytelling rules, fails to follow logic, has some of the worst and dumbest dialogue I’ve ever seen and you’ll probably find more Tolkien in a Transformers film. It’s barely 1% lore-accurate, and I think Amazon should be sued for the damage they have done to the IP 😄
@@CounciloftheRings You don’t know red letter media? You’re joking right? They got everyone to hate the star wars prequels. I like them a lot, many people do and I exaggerate, they clearly hate nee star trek and hate that they had to see it go broke and they even admit that they are SORT OF at the point where they hate watch ‘new trek’ just because they want to watch star trek your transformers line is gold
@@lingricen8077 no I’m afraid I’ve never been a fan of sci-fi, how odd that may sound. I never watched Star Trek, though I’m a little familiar with some of the characters (mainly thanks to the big bang theory). It also took me 15 years to give Star Wars a second chance. I do like it, though perhaps more the games than the films, yet I would not call myself a Star Wars fan. I watched the prequels a few years after they came out, but not the originals. I like those, but not the stuff Disney has produced since. So that might be why I’m not familiar with the channel 😁🙏
@@CounciloftheRings I hope I’m not coming off as “You havent heard of this thing that *I* heard of?!?!” but I thought RLM were the Matthewmatosis of film reviews. Maybe their plinket star wars reviews resonate with your feelings about them
@@lingricen8077 I wouldn't be able to tell. I've watched a lot of film reviews. I think I prefer Like stories of Old as it often touches something deeper, and not just the basics. It's at least the most inspirational.
Your voice led me to think you were in your 70s! Love your videos.
Same!!
Your voice is Wise beyond your years
For all of us were decieved, for this man is in fact not 73
Also, love the channel. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
And I bout choked when I read who posted this
The Council is the only genuine voice on the Lore. I used to hope Yoystan would join, but now I’m not sure
You are so handsome, I expected an old man. You definitely have radio voice, you could be the next David Attenborough
Hahaha thank you! 😆

No problem at all! I might make a community post with some of the points too - mainly the future content planned
Thx for your anazing content! You are one of the few good middle earth lore you tubers left

Great content and a great voice. You should consider voice acting or reading audio books.
