I've read Silmarillion, Hobbit & LOTR many times starting at age 12. By the time I was a grownup I'd noticed one thing about Galadriel - if trouble was coming she'd disappear. And she'd disappear without warning anybody else. She had the "Sight" afterall. If people had been paying attention I can imagine a scenario where...."Yo, Bob! Where ya going?" Oh, heyTom! Leaving town - just saw Galadriel leaving." "Sh!t! Martha! Grab the kids - Galadriel left!"
Not entirely true. She did ride with Gandalf, Sauroman, and Elrond to put the boots to Sauron when he was in Dol Guldor. She also went back to Dol Guldor during the events of LOTR and tore it down to the foundations.
This show has absolutely nothing to do with The Silmarillion or any of J.R.R. Tolkiens work. This is a show that is in its own category of fan fiction. Actually, I wouldn't even consider the show runners to be fans of this material to be honest. Real fans wouldn't desecrate the original material to the extent these two idiots who run this show have done.
Bless you. Never watched it but this is good to cleanse any confusion. I hope the real thing gets made someday! Amazon is out of their minds just winging a fanfic because they legally can’t make the actual Silmarillion
I enjoy how thorough your videos are! Hate to be the one to tell you though... the letter "C" in elvish names is pronounced hard. Like "Keleborn" or "Kelebrimbor" etc. Easy mistake to make! Good thing the showrunners had access to the appendices with the pronunciation guide or they might have fucked that up too haha
I haven't read your comments, so forgive me if someone has expressed the meaning of the lyrics. It's about "The Reaper" enticing someone to commit suicide. It eludes to her struggling to choose life, when she is so weak in her despair. He finally convinced her to take her own life. This is truly a sad song that grabs you and tells you to beware of being at peace and comforted. The beauty of life is in the struggle. Cliché, I know, but we are alive when we feel. My Son had the Drummer, Albert Bouchard as his Music Teacher. He played with him. What a gift.
I am very much looking forward to watching this whole video and I thank you. Anything that goes back to the real lore (which I am also still getting through) deserves a plus. IS a plus. One quibble, about 1m48s in. If nothing here in Tirion in Valinor is "inherently evil" (please don't say we're talking about quantities "degrees of evil" here), then why are the other children bullying Galadriel, trying to sink her bird and why is her response to punch the boy's face in SORRY TO CONFRONT THE MAIN INSTIGATOR? I mean, I'm not even criticising Prime Galadriel there. I'm just criticising RoP and everybody involved in bringing this foul evil to light. Hold up - are you trying to blend The Silmarillion's story with RoP's, with only the appearance of the Amazon Prime logo as the signifier? No, let me rephrase that. Verbally you're definitely separating the two. The visual presentation doesn't make it immediately obvious though, I see. Oooh, oh, begging your pardon: 17m in, heard the pronunciation of "Seleborn". Appendix E, Writing and Spelling, Pronunciation of Words and Names, Consonants: "C has always the value of k even before e and i: celeb ‘silver’ should be pronounced as keleb". "KIR-dan". "Ke-le-BRIM-bor". ... yes I know how that makes me look. Just giving the reference in case you want to check for yourself. Similarly with "Eregion". "G has only the sound of g in give, get: gil 'star', in Gildor, Gilraen, Osgiliath, begins as in English gild". "E-re-gI-on". "VALar". Emphasis on the first syllable. Usually, the emphasis in a word is in the second-last syllable. "Gil-GALad". "Ëarien" is not "Ear-ien". It would be "E-a-rI-en". In the Vowels section of that appendix? "In Quenya ui, oi, ai and iu, eu, au are diphthongs (that is, pronounced in one syllable). All other pairs of vowels are dissyllabic [two syllables]. This is often dictated by writing ëa (Eä), ëo, oë." Please, please, please don't say "Hobbit-like Harfoots". That's like saying "American-like New Yorkers". Sorry my bad I was so focussed on content I didn't realise your accent was mine. It's like saying "Australian-like Victorians" or "Australian-like New South Welsh" or "Australian-like Queenslanders". 26m47s: they bring "the Stranger" to a dilapidated and deserted wagon IF THEY DE-LEAVE STRAGGLERS BEHIND, HOW DID A CARAVAN END UP DESERTED WITH THESE STAGE-IRISH HORRORS? Actually, this video is INCREDIBLY useful for pulling apart the show's logic, even disregarding the lore. Didn't Prime Durin III disown Prime Durin IV and Disa? Which, if she has a "unique" skill of "resonating", how would they possibly let that disowning happen? Why is it we see she sings in chorus with other "unique" singers? And if her sound, like ohIdunno DC's "Black Canary" can also dig sunshafts by itself, how are these singers not on EVERY SINGLE DIG THE DWARVES HAVE? ... why do these people bother to set up rules and then just NOT FOLLOW THROUGH? I mean, THEIR OWN RULES forgodsownstupidsake. > After the eruption of Orodruin, the Southlands of Tirharad lie in ruins, with only remnants left behind. Galadriel emerges from her slumber ... The entire world surrounding her is engulfed in flames. The other survivors also show no signs of harm except for injuries from falling debris ... and... that's ALL you're going to say about that? > Therefore his return is imperative for the show to remain faithful to Tolkien's canon WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA! > He rises and employs the staff to conquer the three wise women and declares that he is not Sauron. He is Istar Meaning that the "three wise women" as Istarphobes? > The Istar known as The Stranger cleverly explains his memory loss. In The Lord of the rings, Gandalf and the other wizards have been in Middle-earth for centuries, gaining wisdom over time. When Istari first arrive, they are depicted as newcomers learning everything anew, similar to The Ring Of Power's portrayal of The Stranger. The memory loss is a consequence of wizards traveling from Valinor to Middle-earth. Erm, CITATION NEEDED. The Silmarillion, the Appendices and the Unfinished Tales all have similar passages; more in the Unfinished Tales, where he is sent by Manwë to perform his task in Middle-earth; and he brings the healing stone "Elessar" from Yavanna to Galadriel. None of this could happen if he were a "newcomer learning everything anew". > Galadriel reluctantly gives up her sword, which melts and when combined with mithril, enables the forging of three rings. At least one of which is very obviously only made up of one metal, not a combination of three.
Thank you for that comment. I very much doubt Galadriel would have punched a stupid bully no matter her age. She's better, mightier, more pure than that.
@@lucyosborne9239 1) You are most, most welcome. Thank you for the comment. 2) Although let's be fair, at this point Gollum is better, mightier and more pure than anything depicted on this show.
It lacks character. But that's what you get with Amazon. They demolished the chances for Asimov's Foundation too. As well as The wheel of time. It's a lack of general cinematography art and character building and story line , covered by loads of money . Did you ever hear Bezos laugh ? He sounds evil. Forced and insincere. As many shows on Amazon. Too bad.
Stfu it’s a show adaptation they’re giving visuals of words wrote in a book it’s more expensive to make a movie or show than it is to write on paper book lovers get off the shows/movies dicks they’re doin the best they can with they’re budget tryn to put live action with for words book readers just keep reading books don’t try to watch live action adaptations tf
I blame the Tolkien estate for a good deal of the changes, they would not even consider licensing any of the Silmarillion. It was simply never on the table. That forced many of the changes because there was no other way than to make it up with the source material off limits. Seriously clownish replies 🙄
that has nothing to do with how bad thecwriting is,how dumb the actors are or how stupid the story is. liberals just can't create anything good. they can only steal ideas from much smarter men. it's simply an iq issue with liberals.
No Amazon alrdy has the rights to adapt it before hand, they could have shelled out more money to actually buy the rights for the whole thing but they decided to go to with the appendices cuz they couldn’t be bothered.
Oh, come on. The atrocity that Amazon made had nothing to do with what Tolkien wrote except that they used some of the same names. You left out most of the key factors of what was actually written by Tolkien.
watch the last few eps the eastern rhun wizard says he will deal wiht the istari only another mairer can deal with such he is the other blue wizard and you learn that after that talk with tom bombadil HE WILL FAIL but his actions delay and weaken sauron
All this video for nothing because Prime created their series base on the 3 movies and lores of Jackson movies so don t compare the silmarilion with this scrap series
It’s for television so changes have to be made. Get over it people. No one was mad when Gandalf came back to Frodo’s after he came back from Gondor to make sure the ring was safe right away. In the books he didn’t come back FOR NINE YEARS.
Jackson does make some changes, but the main story is left intact both in terms of sequences of events as well as characters. Rings of Power is exactly the opposite. It invents whole series of stories, and ignores the original stories. Everything about Galadriel is made up - except she did later fight in Mordor. The conflict between her and Elrond did not exist. She did not dive into the middle of the ocean and fall in love with Sauron. She did not lead a Numenorian army into the Southlands or into Mordor and witness Adar ignite Mount Doom. She did not know for certain that Anatar and Celebrimbor were making rings. There was no Adar. She was not captured nor prevented Elrond from attacking Adar (of course). Nor did she give Adar the elven ring. She did not taunt Sauron with it. She did not fight Sauron. Sauron did not turn into a image of her for no reason at all. She did not jump off a cliff and survive because the writers changed the laws of physics for the plot. Nor was she kissed by Elrond to escape Adar who she never met. And that is just the Galadriel story. Rings of Power is fanfiction, which invents all of these stories and changes most of the characters when the plot demands it. To say that it is like Jackson's adoption of the Lord of the Rings, and has similar differences, is clearly, plainly and absolutely a false equivalence and a false statement. Also, recognize that Tolkien himself would be the greatest critic of Rings of power that ever lived. When you criticize us you are really criticizing him. So give us some respect!
One minute in and the first bullshit. The show isn't based on Silmarillion, they don't have rights for it. Good that I saved 3 hours watching this trash.
Well we talk about what really happened in the silmarillion, so if you're curious to know the real lore of the Lord of the Rings, you could give the video a try 😅

Dude that's amazing!!! RoP is such shitshow that no one will watch it so this video is amazing !!! Thanks!!!
Worse: virtually nobody who will watch RoP will read the book, so this work is even more valuable.
Great video! Will watch multiple times to boost for you man!!
Love the show and love this video can’t explain everything in show never as detailed or as good as books but is entertaining

Problem with Galadriel was that Tolkien himself kept changing her story.

Holy shit ❤
Found out Simon Tolkien stated he wanted this show to be like breaking bad and Sauron to be Walter White....WTF???? Str8 🤡
No idea why they called the place Tir Harad, as Harad is a very different place from Mordor.
Why did you skip so much from the silmarilion? Feanor.. was even written on the screen
