I am just blown away by this. Closer to Tolkien's descriptions than even Peter Jackson's LOTR movies. It makes the Amazon series look like a joke. Beautiful.
The ethereal spiritual world scenes lend especially well to AI capabilities. Everything seems so surreal. Perfect for the opening chapters of the Silmarillion. However, more realistic grounded scenes depicting mortal men might be more challenging.
OMG, please keep these coming! I've read the Silmarillion three times, lastly on audio. This does a spectacular job of visualising the story. I love the music and the voices, too. Well done!
I want to echo this! I am VERY familiar with the written works, and while people will certainly quibble, these visuals show how amazing this story can be told! Love them!
This is nothing short of spectacular! And more than any Tolkien fan could ever have hoped for. Please keep up the great work! Someday Hollywood will probably massacre Tolkien's greatest work but we will still have this. Thank you so much!
I am stunned at the quality of your work and dedication to the source material, please continue and do not lose strength. Your works are deeply appreciated and valued!
Thank you. You did a wonderful job creating Melkor’s world-the details are awesome-inspiring. The tragedy that defined this part of the book is so sad. Perhaps, like the Valar, we can never get back the Eden we once inhabited.
The Silmarillion was the first of Tolkien's books that I read. It is still my favorite! Thank you for this WONDERFUL series!! I have wanted someone to make a movie about it for a LONG time. You've done a fantastic job so far. Thank you!!!
If it's up to me, I'll give you the Oscar. You made us live inside Tolkien's world. Thank you very much. You deserve all the appreciation. I hope to see more in the future. You did a good job.❤❤
The Two Lamps were beautiful - even more wondrous than the Trees. After all, the Two Lamps gave light to all Arda - the Two Trees gave light to Valinor only, leaving Middle Earth in darkness.
Outstanding production! It's clear you know and love the source material. Many people can debate the Jackson films, but his passion for the material is not in dispute; the tone, tenor, and "feel" of this series demonstrates a similar passion for the material. I consider these episodes a wonderful "palate cleanse" form the Rings of Power drivel foisted on Tolkien fandom.
I love it! Can’t wait for the next episodes. I hope some other folks that are enjoying this will become a member as well. We’ve got to keep these coming.
Mis queridos amigos de Eä, estoy gratamente sorprendido de la precisión con la que han traído a la vida la enorme visión de Tolkien asistidos por la IA. No me crean si no quieren, pero, cuando leí El Simarillion, justo así me imaginaba estas escenas, aunque no con la gracia y movimiento que tienen estas. Soy un empedernido fanático de la obra de Tolkien, y les doy infinitas gracias por darle vida a mi fantasía por este universo.
Anytime I scroll thru UA-cam and see a new episode, I get so excited. I love the story and the animation. A very fine thing you're doing in the community, my friend. Keep up the great work!!!!!!
Great episode! Thank you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I especially want to point out the perfectly conveyed moment of the transformation of the Maiar into Balrogs. 5:30 How a truly heavenly beautiful, pure, pretty Maiar-girl was perverted and distorted by Melkor and his big great darkness. So much that she burst into flames and grew horns. I would like to see an extended version ... 😊
@@incredibleBY thanks so much, Since Varda's rejection I wanted to show Morgoth's power of corruption and with a beautiful maiar as the narration says as a mockery of Iluvatar
It genuinely gave me goosebumps. I don't care what people say about AI; this is what it was created for. You have a real talent-a gift. You can harness this technology to create what all Tolkien's fans envisioned and wanted to see. Tolkien would be amazed by your adaptation of his work. Keep going! Your future is bright, and I hope your work captivates major industry players and ultimately becomes a top-tier production that honors the legacy of the original Peter Jackson trilogy. Thank you, sir 🫡 Regards from 🇧🇷
This is the best way to tell the tale of the Silmarillion, I think. This isn’t a movie or a tv series, this is a story too vast in scope of time and space and minds that would be unfathomable to us, and it ought to be told like a story. Try to turn it into an action-drama like Game of Thrones or something and it wouldn’t work.
The visual maybe due to the use of generative AI, but to create the story, the authors needed to read the Silmarillion and understand it, and it's amazing how accurate it is. There are of course parts not found in the Silmarillion but they are not incompatible and allow the story to flow better as movie. Really good job.
And now the real question: Will the Tolkien family let you finish the job? if they were smart they'd invest here, 'cause this is the best depiction of Tolkien's words ever
I really love melkor here at first he was beautiful radiant but as time went on his face shows scars or marks of his corruption, his radiance now turned into shadows I even love how you made the balrogs!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 BRAVO! Fantastic job..! I Am Enthralled...😍 I've never been able to read The Book. But from what you've Done..! Amazing..👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾 I'll Be Watching.❣️
It's amazing what you're doing. All episodes are great to watch, but this particular episode has some inaccuracies. The Valar were the only beings with the power to teleport anywhere on Arda, so they did not need a ship to travel to Aman. But the whole thing is great, I'm looking forward to the sequel
Thank you very much, you are right, although Tolkien in the book makes reference to the fact that they crossed the immensity of the outer sea, so I wanted to give it more sense and make it possible to understand the distance of Valinor in relation to Middle Earth,
2:00 makes me think there could be a spin-off of Lord of the Rings, maybe this will be an unpopular opinion, but imagine if Eru Ilúvatar allowed everyone to create their own worlds freely using their own music they want to create. Imagine a galaxy of different worlds, and some are evil, some are good, imagine space ships and battles. That'd be pretty epic! Love your works Echoes, keep it up! :D
Amazing stuff. Visually far superior to the tv series. I hope you have the means and inclination to continue. Such delights ahead: Thingol and Melian, Beren and Luthien, Turin, Tuor, Gondolin....
I read Similarion a few years ago, so do not remember it well. However I want to see more story about 2 great trees and then origin story of all races, including first and second children of Eru.
I'm having fun watching these after reading through the book! Thank you for making them. Let's hope the Tolkien Family Estate does not catch wind of it though, they have not licensed any first age content out to anyone that I know of. ;-) Even Amazon cannot mention or use first age content in their Rings of Power series, which is primarily second age material.
I am just blown away by this. Closer to Tolkien's descriptions than even Peter Jackson's LOTR movies. It makes the Amazon series look like a joke. Beautiful.
You don't know how happy these comments make me, it makes all the effort worth it.
Really loving these Amazon should be ashamed. But these episodes are amazing
The outer space scenes are phenomenal.
@@EchoesofEähope channels like this make Tolk Estate avoid Amazon.
The ethereal spiritual world scenes lend especially well to AI capabilities. Everything seems so surreal. Perfect for the opening chapters of the Silmarillion. However, more realistic grounded scenes depicting mortal men might be more challenging.
This keeps getting better with every episode-truly wonderful.
I'd rather watch channels like this than even the new animated movie.
AI or not, this is a masterpiece.
First AI sequences I’ve watched that appear flawless. Art in motion.
Fantastic! Can't wait for the next 😊
Me alegra mucho que te gustara, gracias Victor!
@@EchoesofEä real problem is we have to wait next episode but away you did awesome work
Who ever is doing this series, thank you so much. ❤
This series is perfect.
Definitely!
I just can´t get enough!! I´m keeping these episodes one by one, they´re amazing!!! Thank you for such a great work!!! Please, keep going on!!!
Your storytelling is truly on another level. ❤❤❤❤❤
Best fanmade AI-based Tolkien's storytelling I've seen.
Miles better than many pro ones.
Love this series. The Silmarillion is my favorite Tolkien book - even more than LotR - and to see the myths visually is a real treat!
Why do the morgoth followers look like ninjas?
@@lilacgirl-z8w: Ninjas don’t wear long cloaks.
The silmarillion should have been a book series.
Every movie is so grateful 🙏🏻 but to short! I wait for the next one ❤

Fantastic, really Fantastic ❤❤❤❤
Making a real, televised series would be the best thing in the world.
Yeah. I'm hoping these will inspire Tolkien Estate to sell TV rights.
Thank you. You did a wonderful job creating Melkor’s world-the details are awesome-inspiring. The tragedy that defined this part of the book is so sad. Perhaps, like the Valar, we can never get back the Eden we once inhabited.
The only way for Earth to return to the Eden it once was is for the human race to become extinct.
Can Balrogs truly die or get put inside a void prison like morgoth?
The Silmarillion was the first of Tolkien's books that I read. It is still my favorite! Thank you for this WONDERFUL series!! I have wanted someone to make a movie about it for a LONG time. You've done a fantastic job so far. Thank you!!!
The Unfinished Tales are worth reading.
You’ve put so much passion for the work of Tolkien into this video. Outstanding work thank you.
Excellent.
If it's up to me, I'll give you the Oscar. You made us live inside Tolkien's world. Thank you very much. You deserve all the appreciation. I hope to see more in the future. You did a good job.❤❤
Absolutely beautiful ! You'd make Tolkien proud.
I think he might have appreciated this.
Absolutely!
Impresionante. Ojalá trabajéis toda la obra de Tolkien al completo. Realmente el sueño de los fans se está haciendo realidad gracias a vosotros ❤❤❤
Next episode in 2 weeks right? I can't wait to see Valinor, the two Trees Ungoliant, The elves and Luthien. How beautiful will she be
I really try weekly but my work don't let me
The Two Lamps were beautiful - even more wondrous than the Trees. After all, the Two Lamps gave light to all Arda - the Two Trees gave light to Valinor only, leaving Middle Earth in darkness.
We need to see melkor's 3 ages of bandage and the creation of the 2 trees.
@@EchoesofEäbetter to take your time and get it right :)

This is the best, the VERY best, of all the AI/Tolkien storytellers out there.

You've captured Melkor's motives and line of thought masterfully. Just like John Milton has with Satan in Paradise Lost
Morgoth domain does look like a hell.
This is far better than Rings of Power could ever be. Keep going, it's fantastic.
PLEASE!!!! keep doing this😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
This series! I have read the book so many times and listened to the audio book even more! Soo spot on!!
What's your favorite so far?
Fantastic work, I look forward to the rest of this great story.
You have done a very good job, Im really impressed.
Thank you very much!
Wish tolkien gave ungoliant a more expanded story.
@@lilacgirl-z8w: Yes, it would have been interesting to know more about her origins.
The Silmarillion is being brought alive by your videos. So close to my imaginations when I first read it. Thank you
I can't tell which deserter is sauron.
@Butterflypegasus40 that would have been great but I am unsure if he had left Aule's tutelage at this point
Anytime I scroll thru UA-cam and see a new episode, I get so excited. I love the story and the animation. A very fine thing you're doing in the community, my friend. Keep up the great work!!!!!!
@@jdhanson I hope to see many more episodes of the valar.
To było niesamowite, dziękuję za cały trud który włożyliście w to dzieło ;)
Nothing more to add - everyone has said it. Love it!
Great episode! Thank you!

Will the lamps ever be restored like the 2 trees.

Best I've found for tolkien's work.
It gets better with each new episode, great work.
@@hikaruvortex 🫶🏻🥳🥳
Thanks so much for your beautiful work!!
@@sabschmi who's your favorite?
Nothing more worthless of admiration and gratitude! I can only say: Thank you so much for this! Stunning! Amazing! Wonderful!
Can't wait to see the creation of valinor.
I really want to see those two trees.
Wow, thank you!
Just stunning!!! Well detailed and respectful to the lore! Absolutely beautiful, Thanks you so much for your efforts @Echoes of Eä! ❤
The valar's former home did it sink into the ocean eventually like beleriand and numenor?
Oh wow I love the look of Utumno. And the creating of the balrogs. Amazing! 😍🔥
Perfect evil kingdom.
This is the best way to tell the tale of the Silmarillion, I think. This isn’t a movie or a tv series, this is a story too vast in scope of time and space and minds that would be unfathomable to us, and it ought to be told like a story. Try to turn it into an action-drama like Game of Thrones or something and it wouldn’t work.
Game of thrones can't hold a candle to tolkien's middle earth.
It’s the calming narration and music!❤
Perfect asmr voice.
Great work! Please keep it up! Can't wait to see Feanor! Epic as it should be!
Beautiful episode! It really depicted accurately the events, feelings and transformations of characters involved! Sublime work in all aspects!
Balrog transformation was awesome.
The creation of Balrogs give me several chills 😮 i really cannot wait to watch the next episode! Well done!
It was awesome!
I love your work! I subscribe!The transformation of the Maia into Balrog was... just incredible!
Incredible, yes - and so horrifying and sad. A beautiful female Maia turned into a monster.
The visual maybe due to the use of generative AI, but to create the story, the authors needed to read the Silmarillion and understand it, and it's amazing how accurate it is. There are of course parts not found in the Silmarillion but they are not incompatible and allow the story to flow better as movie. Really good job.

Gracias por este trabajo increíble
This is so beautifully well done. I will always enjoy watching your videos
Hopefully, channels like this will inspire the Tolkien Estate to license tv rights.
That is something to hope for.
I really love melkor here at first he was beautiful radiant but as time went on his face shows scars or marks of his corruption, his radiance now turned into shadows
I even love how you made the balrogs!
Thank you for your service.
Amazing. Thank you, sir, may God bless you.
Absolute masterpiece! I love these and they’re worth the wait 😁
I was looking forward to this - it did not disappoint!
My addiction.
You are getting better, congrats for your amazing video.
Immediately subscribed
I appreciate the accuracy to the book. Great job! I look forward to seeing the next one!
Will Aule make the dwarves in the next episode?
@lilacgirl-z8w Next episode will likely be about the 2 trees. Then maybe Aulë and the dwarves 🤷
Espectacular 👏💯👏💯👏 Excelente trabajo

Best episode yet!! Oh man this is good! ❤❤❤
Excelente!!!! Seria genial una pelicula juntando todos los capitulos!!!!
Ya la tengo pensada, también para corregir muchos errores y mejores tomas de los capítulos anteriores.
@@EchoesofEä YES!!!
Even though these are short episodes and AI, they’re still many times better than the Rings of Power and it’s billions of dollars of budget.
Great depiction of Melkor and his powers.
I just can't wait for the next episodes, great job❤❤❤❤
I am appreciative of all your hard work and I hope you Have a Merry Christmas and Fantastic New Year!
