I thought only the creator can see them. You can still see the comments. They're getting slammed in what looks to be every language on the planet. Amazon has been deleting some of the “Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made” comments. So ... they're deleting 9/10ths of the comments? |

Audiences reject The Rings of Power, but Amazon getting ready to double down and remake trilogy? About the calmest take on it that's honest so far and lays out exactly what's happening. Also, they have a game of thrones guy on board, and oh, they have the guy from jurassic world slated to direct at least one of the episodes. Also, I did not know it, but for this rings of power series - amazon only has the rights to the appendices attached to the end of LOTR/ROTK. Soo ... not the silmarillion. Even worse, the movie and game rights for the other parts of the IP are apparently up for sale. The fan who likes the books the way they were written who knows them well take: The Rings of Power: Tolkien in Name Only Nope, he's not conservative or on the right (from what I can tell). Amazon is ticking off everyone. |

Tell me you have never been to Osaka Castle, Japan and taken the tour; without telling me you've never been to Osaka. Movie was based on shit during the Meiji Restoration. Lots of historical pictures and art in Osaka that show yes, there were western samurai. Or at least garbed up as if they were. |

So what did Amazon buy? “We have the rights solely to The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King, the appendices, and The Hobbit,” Payne says. “And that is it. We do not have the rights to The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, The History of Middle-earth, or any of those other books.” That takes a huge chunk of lore off the table and has left Tolkien fans wondering how this duo plans to tell a Second Age story without access to those materials. “There’s a version of everything we need for the Second Age in the books we have the rights to,” McKay says. “As long as we’re painting within those lines and not egregiously contradicting something we don’t have the rights to, there’s a lot of leeway and room to dramatize and tell some of the best stories that [Tolkien] ever came up with.” “We took all these little clues and thought of them as stars in the sky that we then connected to write the novel that Tolkien never wrote about the Second Age,” Payne says. The duo cites songs like “The Fall of Gil-galad” or “The Song of Eärendil” or Fellowship chapters like “The Council of Elrond” and “The Shadow of the Past” or the “Concerning Hobbits” section of the prologue as sources for significant lore dumps. Beyond the premiere, there aren’t, however, any significant time jumps or, thus far, episode-long journeys to the past. The rights to the First Age material from The Silmarillion are still owned by the Tolkien estate. View Quote That's not disturbing at all. It's basically fanfic at this point. “We worked in conjunction with world-renowned Tolkien scholars and the Tolkien estate to make sure that the ways we connected the dots were Tolkienian and gelled with the experts’ and the estate’s understanding of the material,” Payne says.

Quoted: There are historical accounts of sub-Saharan Africans being among the trading crews that were in the British Isles as far back as the Roman days. The Romans might not have gone that far south, but the Egyptians did and it isn't like some of them couldn't go North. It was never more than a handful, but they did exist and made it to Britain, even if just to crew ships and trade. There was even a community of blacks in England in the Tudor period. Obviously, this is a bit later than the Anglo-Saxon era, but there is a pretty good book on the subject Black Tudors by Miranda Kaufmann View Quote I think what he's getting at is the fact that, while some few black people may have ended up in places like England and other parts of the northern hemisphere back in the day, they were nowhere near as numerous, prevalent or prominent as today's educated morons would have us believe. Cases in wokeness: As I recall, Anne Boleyn was NOT black, as the BBC series portrays her. Neither were the vast majority of Vikingr, despite the maniacally concerted effort to convince western viewing audiences that there were black lords and ladies bossing whitey around in the Europe of antiquity. The ultimate expression of the phrase "we wuz kangz," you might say. This shit is absurd. |

Amazon is also making the Fallout series.
Whats happening with LOTR isn't giving me the warm and fuzzies here. |

feel like people 00:07 will be like i can fix him 00:09 middle earth had like a club yeah this 00:11 tune is banking or stroke mystified and 00:14 starstruck wow 00:17 haven't you ever wondered 00:19 what else is out there 00:21 [Music] 00:23 there's wonders in this world 00:25 beyond our wandering 00:32 my name is mr isla and i'm so excited 00:34 because prime videos new epic fantasy 00:37 series the lord of the rings the rings 00:39 of power 00:41 just dropped with a teaser trailer and 00:42 i'm here with the fellowship of 00:44 influencers 00:45 chanel joel and kelsey how you guys 00:47 doing very excited after watching that 00:50 yeah come on very intrigued to just see 00:52 everyone else's thoughts and just gather 00:54 what we all think that's what we're here 00:55 for that's what we're here for all right 00:56 three words to describe the rings of 00:58 power teaser trailer go okay 01:00 breathtaking i literally didn't breathe 01:03 uh exhilarating and intriguing i didn't 01:06 notice that you weren't breathing yeah i 01:07 was gonna call the first day it was like 01:10 i was trying but every time i was like 01:12 okay take a breath something new would 01:14 happen and it was like 01:15 actually like and i was like you can 01:17 fall off your chair 01:20 oh um i would say like expansive because 01:22 we're getting this like whole new look 01:24 into the second age on screen and it's 01:26 gonna be so amazing i also wanna say 01:30 representative because we're getting 01:32 like more diversity within this series 01:34 like we're seeing our face black elf 01:35 we're seeing the first female dwarf and 01:37 i'm very looking forward to like looking 01:39 at that and then i guess like intriguing 01:42 because obviously this period of history 01:45 within the middle earth is very 01:48 rife with notions of the plot of like 01:50 the hobbit and all of the rings and 01:52 seeing how the rings of power are being 01:54 forged definitely more than three words 01:56 i love it thank you i'm an overexplainer 01:59 i love it i love it i love it i would 02:00 say 02:01 awestruck mystified and starstruck wow 02:05 very strong but that is like the word 02:07 for the next teaser yeah just like 02:09 popping up yeah with your name 02:11 [Laughter] 02:13 so in the teaser trailer and obviously 02:14 there's a lot of stuff that you've 02:15 probably read about it we're introduced 02:17 to the first black elf 02:19 we're introduced to the first female 02:21 dwarf now diversity especially on screen 02:24 as an actor means a lot to me because 02:26 growing up i hardly had that you know 02:28 watching tv and watching a lot of films 02:30 and stuff never saw people of my color 02:32 so it's exciting to see that you know 02:34 diversity is being explored in the rings 02:36 of power 02:37 what are your thoughts on the casting 02:38 decisions um i'm very excited for it 02:40 because tolkien's work was always about 02:42 being inclusive i mean we see it through 02:43 the fellowship like a bunch of people 02:45 from different backgrounds coming 02:46 together in order to face a common enemy 02:49 being sauron and just seeing the cast 02:52 and decisions it's really really 02:53 exciting to see it's just gonna mean so 02:55 much to like me personally because it's 02:57 getting that representation in midlift 02:59 young kids are gonna see that on screen 03:01 and it's just gonna be really nice for 03:03 them to be like oh hey there's someone 03:04 that looks just like me at being like an 03:06 elf and a dwarf and yeah it just fills 03:09 me with a lot of hope for like the 03:10 future of the rings of power and seeing 03:12 like much more diversity being included 03:14 as well it's gonna be inspiring right 03:15 for the next generation definitely what 03:16 about you in the original film series 03:19 which i absolutely adored but there are 03:21 not many women in it and the three women 03:24 who are in it never speak to one another 03:26 i don't really 03:28 so it will be so cool to be able to see 03:31 more female representation to maybe see 03:34 them actually interact with one another 03:36 very excited to see it how about you 03:38 girls it just makes me so excited for 03:40 the next generation because like as you 03:43 said like growing up like i was still 03:44 excited about being 03:46 um an elf or a hobbit and joining in 03:49 with it even though i wasn't represented 03:51 like either like my disability or my 03:53 queerness wasn't represented but just 03:54 makes me so happy makes my heart warm 03:56 like going to be seeing younger people 03:58 just the truth the rings of power is the 04:00 reason why the four of us are sitting 04:01 here today 04:02 and it's like we would we probably 04:03 wouldn't have if the series wasn't being 04:05 made like you said it really is a true 04:06 like meaning of fellowship yeah we're 04:08 gonna furnish you 04:11 guys 04:12 so from the tweezer trailer what 04:14 intrigued you the most rings happening 04:16 or like theme form in the like the lore 04:19 like sauron basically like helps forge 04:22 the rings and so i think um they start 04:24 making like some initial rings that like 04:26 don't have much power so but yeah you're 04:28 describing it sounds like sirens in like 04:29 a ring storm 04:29 [Laughter] 04:35 for me as well like the one thing that i 04:36 spotted from the trailers was just like 04:38 how expansive of a look we're gonna get 04:40 towards like the second age it's been 04:42 not previously like very much touched 04:44 upon and so i'm very excited to see how 04:47 prime video like takes it and just 04:50 shows this whole kind of new look at 04:52 middle earth watching the trailer and 04:54 trying to work out right where are we 04:56 here the locations and the sets it's all 04:58 very exciting to just trying to theorize 05:01 what we're going to see in the series 05:02 because there's still so much 05:04 still so much we don't know 05:05 i also want to know why they were while 05:07 they were fighting who's fighting why 05:09 are they fighting literally where are we 05:11 who are they what's going on i mean it's 05:13 not going to work 05:13 [Laughter] 05:16 all right let's talk main characters 05:18 give me your theories of who you might 05:20 have seen in the teaser trailer i've 05:21 seen it a lot 05:26 that part in the trailer would come 05:28 around waterfall with the knife and like 05:30 yes i'm already obsessed i'm already 05:32 obsessed the way we've seen her in the 05:33 movies she's been very like flowy 05:36 yeah she's not doing much and this time 05:38 she's like full on because we are so far 05:41 in the past and i'm so excited to just 05:43 see this younger version of her and 05:45 there's so much who knows she wouldn't 05:47 go to school 05:52 no magic in the class i mean i want her 05:54 dagger 05:55 it looks very cool stunning and 05:57 beautiful and i might have to fight for 05:58 it she looks good 06:00 she will kill me i'm definitely excited 06:02 to see like this kind of younger and 06:03 maybe more inexperienced galadriel and 06:06 just see kind of how the like how we see 06:09 through the rings of power like how the 06:11 experiences will shape her i want to 06:12 know who's the hand was at the end yeah 06:14 that was interesting because it was a 06:16 little hand i think that was a hobbit i 06:18 am all about hobbits as you can tell 06:21 so 06:22 i wonder any theories on who the hobbit 06:23 might be if it is a 06:25 is it a is it a young smuggler maybe 06:27 like some ancestor of the baggins or 06:29 something always those baggins is 06:31 getting into trouble they should never 06:33 have left a shower 06:35 i disagree 06:36 we wouldn't have a whole thing if they 06:37 didn't leave that's true that's very 06:39 true i just love the fact that we're 06:41 touching upon the second age of middle 06:42 earth because it's really one of the 06:43 times where a lot of like the 06:46 underlying kind of plot threads of the 06:48 lord the rings comes into things and so 06:51 we get to see like uh the rings 06:53 hopefully we'll make see the rings of 06:54 power being forged we get to see sauron 06:57 potassium 06:59 in the original rings the photoshop of 07:01 the ring we saw sauer unbattling you 07:03 know the armies and it's all cut his 07:06 finger off but that was like so brief 07:07 and you don't really get to see sauron 07:09 in his pram which is what's so exciting 07:11 about this because we get to be very 07:12 like deceitful hopefully and because 07:14 during this year he does do a lot of 07:16 like corruption and manipulation we love 07:19 our origin story like gatekeep girl boss 07:23 uh 07:24 i love that we're going so far back 07:26 especially i think there's something 07:28 very cool with prequels in the way that 07:31 they can make you 07:32 love the things you already love even 07:34 more so the fact that we're gonna be 07:36 seeing things that are potentially gonna 07:38 make us love the hobbit films and the 07:40 lord of the rings film and potentially 07:42 the books as well so last night we had 07:45 our own little middle-earth experience 07:48 how did it feel 07:51 like it was such a good time honestly 07:53 and the venue and everything it just 07:55 looked the part it was incredible and i 07:58 think i was so happy to get to share it 07:59 with you guys like 08:01 our own little fellowship 08:04 but it was amazing like i felt like i 08:06 really got to like step into another 08:07 world and then kelsey and i for like 08:09 most of the evening were just like 08:10 dancing like hobbits 08:11 in like our little boys you had your 08:13 blankets around like 08:15 you're just like spinning around i can't 08:16 say that the moves are incredible but 08:18 the enthusiasm is certainly there it was 08:20 it was very fun and it was just nice to 08:22 like get to like be with everyone and 08:25 then like all sit together and react to 08:27 that i think right now if middle earth 08:28 had like a club 08:30 that's prob that was it that gandalf and 08:32 saruman probably lean 08:34 yeah this tune is banking 08:37 i just felt like a giant kid again yeah 08:39 like if childhood me could see this 08:41 moment in my life they would be like 08:44 wow 08:45 yeah it doesn't it's great you made it 08:47 to middle earth 08:48 like walking through the fire ring it 08:50 was so cool and the cocktails were very 08:52 nice while we were waiting for like the 08:54 trailer to play um the music was also 08:56 playing it was very much looking like 08:58 new york fashion 09:00 yeah and it's the music that was playing 09:02 we were like oh we're going to get a 09:03 fashion show i remember putting out my 09:05 phone i was like it's radio lords of the 09:06 rings 09:09 it's about to get like mordor going down 09:11 to hobbiton 09:12 i know you guys are selfie holics right 09:15 what was the best picture you took of 09:16 the night 09:17 my favorite picture i got was actually a 09:19 picture you tried to take outside 09:35 that's the vibe i want to bring to 09:37 everybody 09:38 yeah of course i know i'm a mystical 09:40 like unknown creature like sauron's 09:42 daughter or something yeah yeah 09:44 all right i want to hear your fan 09:46 theories i feel like we're going to see 09:49 some early ruminations of like the rings 09:52 of power being forged because during the 09:55 second age this is where like sauron 09:56 comes in and he's like yo i'm gonna 09:59 yo yo i'm gonna make a ring 10:03 i'm right now 10:03 try to make some rings feel like there 10:05 needs to be a reason for the rings to be 10:07 made right so obviously with the wars 10:08 happening and then like oh 10:11 what was the reason 10:14 sauron wanted to correct people corrupt 10:17 and control and plus if we had that all 10:19 like straight away we need season two 10:22 multiple seasons you know do you think 10:24 we're going to see another side of 10:25 sauron yes like maybe he falls in love 10:28 maybe there's a reason every villain is 10:30 a hero in his own story 10:35 [Laughter] 10:40 do you have any predictions of what's 10:41 going to happen in the series when 10:42 september 2nd drops 10:44 i just want to see gladriol um basically 10:47 the story of getting that dagger i'm 10:48 obsessed with a dagger too i feel like 10:49 there's going to be a bit of romance 10:50 there's always romance amongst the elves 10:52 and it's like you can't be with him wow 10:54 why not he's my sister 10:56 always i saw there's like a human and an 10:59 elf in like a forbidden romance kind of 11:01 thing and like during this period like 11:04 humans and elves weren't really getting 11:06 along and so i think that's where some 11:08 of the conflict might be coming yes the 11:10 fighting yeah a lot of stroking of the 11:11 ears 11:13 right i need a reason 11:15 to tell everyone watching why they 11:16 should watch the teaser trailer 11:18 galadriel 11:21 if you're a law buff like me i think it 11:23 will be really interesting to see this 11:25 kind of expansive look at middle earth 11:27 nice girls if you just have a moment to 11:30 just be a kid again and be in wondering 11:33 all just take that moment i think we all 11:35 need it 11:36 you're just gonna be transported to 11:37 another world and you just you're just 11:39 gonna forget your own for the whole time 11:40 you're gonna watch it from that teaser i 11:43 have no doubt is is gonna be epic 11:45 special thank you to my guests the 11:46 fellowship of influencers chanel joel 11:49 and kelsey thank you for joining me 11:51 let's do this together all right 11:52 lord of the rings the rings of power 11:54 drops when september 11:57 check out the teaser trailer the link is 11:59 below out on prime video when september 12:01 2nd 12:03 be there be square 12:05 or circle really yes 12:07 be there or be thrown into mount doom 12:09 okay 12:27 you I hope they paid these kids a LOT. They are probably going to wind up as eternal memes. TL:DW ... supposedly superfans ... don't even know how the rings were made in the story, likely didn't even read / listen to the books. |

01:56 i love it thank you i'm an overexplainer 01:59 i love it i love it i love it i would 02:00 say 02:01 awestruck mystified and starstruck wow 02:05 very strong but that is like the word 02:07 for the next teaser yeah just like 02:09 popping up yeah with your name 02:11 [Laughter] 02:13 so in the teaser trailer and obviously 02:14 there's a lot of stuff that you've 02:15 probably read about it we're introduced 02:17 to the first black elf 02:19 we're introduced to the first female 02:21 dwarf now diversity especially on screen 02:24 as an actor means a lot to me because 02:26 growing up i hardly had that you know 02:28 watching tv and watching a lot of films 02:30 and stuff never saw people of my color 02:32 so it's exciting to see that you know 02:34 diversity is being explored in the rings 02:36 of power 02:37 what are your thoughts on the casting 02:38 decisions um i'm very excited for it 02:40 because tolkien's work was always about 02:42 being inclusive i mean we see it through 02:43 the fellowship like a bunch of people 02:45 from different backgrounds coming 02:46 together in order to face a common enemy 02:49 being sauron and just seeing the cast 02:52 and decisions it's really really 02:53 exciting to see it's just gonna mean so 02:55 much to like me personally because it's 02:57 getting that representation in midlift 02:59 young kids are gonna see that on screen 03:01 and it's just gonna be really nice for 03:03 them to be like oh hey there's someone 03:04 that looks just like me at being like an 03:06 elf and a dwarf and yeah it just fills 03:09 me with a lot of hope for like the 03:10 future of the rings of power and seeing 03:12 like much more diversity being included 03:14 as well it's gonna be inspiring right 03:15 for the next generation definitely what 03:16 about you in the original film series 03:19 which i absolutely adored but there are 03:21 not many women in it and the three women 03:24 who are in it never speak to one another 03:26 i don't really 03:28 so it will be so cool to be able to see 03:31 more female representation to maybe see 03:34 them actually interact with one another 03:36 very excited to see it how about you 03:38 girls it just makes me so excited for 03:40 the next generation because like as you 03:43 said like growing up like i was still 03:44 excited about being 03:46 um an elf or a hobbit and joining in 03:49 with it even though i wasn't represented 03:51 like either like my disability or my 03:53 queerness wasn't represented but just 03:54 makes me so happy makes my heart warm 03:56 like going to be seeing younger people 03:58 just the truth the rings of power is the 04:00 reason why the four of us are sitting 04:01 here today 04:02 and it's like we would we probably 04:03 wouldn't have if the series wasn't being 04:05 made like you said it really is a true 04:06 like meaning of fellowship yeah we're 04:08 gonna furnish you 04:11 guys 04:12 so from the tweezer trailer what 04:14 intrigued you the most rings happening 04:16 or like theme form in the like the lore 04:19 like sauron basically like helps forge 04:22 the rings and so i think um they start 04:24 making like some initial rings that like 04:26 don't have much power so but yeah you're 04:28 describing it sounds like sirens in like 04:29 a ring storm 04:29 [Laughter] 04:35 for me as well like the one thing that i 04:36 spotted from the trailers was just like 04:38 how expansive of a look we're gonna get 04:40 towards like the second age it's been 04:42 not previously like very much touched 04:44 upon and so i'm very excited to see how 04:47 prime video like takes it and just 04:50 shows this whole kind of new look at 04:52 middle earth watching the trailer and 04:54 trying to work out right where are we 04:56 here the locations and the sets it's all 04:58 very exciting to just trying to theorize 05:01 what we're going to see in the series 05:02 because there's still so much 05:04 still so much we don't know 05:05 i also want to know why they were while 05:07 they were fighting who's fighting why 05:09 are they fighting literally where are we 05:11 who are they what's going on i mean it's 05:13 not going to work 05:13 [Laughter] 05:16 all right let's talk main characters 05:18 give me your theories of who you might 05:20 have seen in the teaser trailer i've 05:21 seen it a lot 05:26 that part in the trailer would come 05:28 around waterfall with the knife and like 05:30 yes i'm already obsessed i'm already 05:32 obsessed the way we've seen her in the 05:33 movies she's been very like flowy 05:36 yeah she's not doing much and this time 05:38 she's like full on because we are so far 05:41 in the past and i'm so excited to just 05:43 see this younger version of her and 05:45 there's so much who knows she wouldn't 05:47 go to school 05:52 no magic in the class i mean i want her 05:54 dagger 05:55 it looks very cool stunning and 05:57 beautiful and i might have to fight for 05:58 it she looks good 06:00 she will kill me i'm definitely excited 06:02 to see like this kind of younger and 06:03 maybe more inexperienced galadriel and 06:06 just see kind of how the like how we see 06:09 through the rings of power like how the 06:11 experiences will shape her i want to 06:12 know who's the hand was at the end yeah 06:14 that was interesting because it was a 06:16 little hand i think that was a hobbit i 06:18 am all about hobbits as you can tell 06:21 so 06:22 i wonder any theories on who the hobbit 06:23 might be if it is a 06:25 is it a is it a young smuggler maybe 06:27 like some ancestor of the baggins or 06:29 something always those baggins is 06:31 getting into trouble they should never 06:33 have left a shower 06:35 i disagree 06:36 we wouldn't have a whole thing if they 06:37 didn't leave that's true that's very 06:39 true i just love the fact that we're 06:41 touching upon the second age of middle 06:42 earth because it's really one of the 06:43 times where a lot of like the 06:46 underlying kind of plot threads of the 06:48 lord the rings comes into things and so 06:51 we get to see like uh the rings 06:53 hopefully we'll make see the rings of 06:54 power being forged we get to see sauron 06:57 potassium 06:59 in the original rings the photoshop of 07:01 the ring we saw sauer unbattling you 07:03 know the armies and it's all cut his 07:06 finger off but that was like so brief 07:07 and you don't really get to see sauron 07:09 in his pram which is what's so exciting 07:11 about this because we get to be very 07:12 like deceitful hopefully and because 07:14 during this year he does do a lot of 07:16 like corruption and manipulation we love 07:19 our origin story like gatekeep girl boss 07:23 uh 07:24 i love that we're going so far back 07:26 especially i think there's something 07:28 very cool with prequels in the way that 07:31 they can make you 07:32 love the things you already love even 07:34 more so the fact that we're gonna be 07:36 seeing things that are potentially gonna 07:38 make us love the hobbit films and the 07:40 lord of the rings film and potentially 07:42 the books as well so last night we had 07:45 our own little middle-earth experience 07:48 how did it feel 07:51 like it was such a good time honestly 07:53 and the venue and everything it just 07:55 looked the part it was incredible and i 07:58 think i was so happy to get to share it 07:59 with you guys like 08:01 our own little fellowship 08:04 but it was amazing like i felt like i 08:06 really got to like step into another 08:07 world and then kelsey and i for like 08:09 most of the evening were just like 08:10 dancing like hobbits 08:11 in like our little boys you had your 08:13 blankets around like 08:15 you're just like spinning around i can't 08:16 say that the moves are incredible but 08:18 the enthusiasm is certainly there it was 08:20 it was very fun and it was just nice to 08:22 like get to like be with everyone and 08:25 then like all sit together and react to 08:27 that i think right now if middle earth 08:28 had like a club 08:30 that's prob that was it that gandalf and 08:32 saruman probably lean 08:34 yeah this tune is banking 08:37 i just felt like a giant kid again yeah 08:39 like if childhood me could see this 08:41 moment in my life they would be like 08:44 wow 08:45 yeah it doesn't it's great you made it 08:47 to middle earth 08:48 like walking through the fire ring it 08:50 was so cool and the cocktails were very 08:52 nice while we were waiting for like the 08:54 trailer to play um the music was also 08:56 playing it was very much looking like 08:58 new york fashion 09:00 yeah and it's the music that was playing 09:02 we were like oh we're going to get a 09:03 fashion show i remember putting out my 09:05 phone i was like it's radio lords of the 09:06 rings 09:09 it's about to get like mordor going down 09:11 to hobbiton 09:12 i know you guys are selfie holics right 09:15 what was the best picture you took of 09:16 the night 09:17 my favorite picture i got was actually a 09:19 picture you tried to take outside 09:35 that's the vibe i want to bring to 09:37 everybody 09:38 yeah of course i know i'm a mystical 09:40 like unknown creature like sauron's 09:42 daughter or something yeah yeah 09:44 all right i want to hear your fan 09:46 theories i feel like we're going to see 09:49 some early ruminations of like the rings 09:52 of power being forged because during the 09:55 second age this is where like sauron 09:56 comes in and he's like yo i'm gonna 09:59 yo yo i'm gonna make a ring 10:03 i'm right now 10:03 try to make some rings feel like there 10:05 needs to be a reason for the rings to be 10:07 made right so obviously with the wars 10:08 happening and then like oh 10:11 what was the reason 10:14 sauron wanted to correct people corrupt 10:17 and control and plus if we had that all 10:19 like straight away we need season two 10:22 multiple seasons you know do you think 10:24 we're going to see another side of 10:25 sauron yes like maybe he falls in love 10:28 maybe there's a reason every villain is 10:30 a hero in his own story 10:35 [Laughter] 10:40 do you have any predictions of what's 10:41 going to happen in the series when 10:42 september 2nd drops 10:44 i just want to see gladriol um basically 10:47 the story of getting that dagger i'm 10:48 obsessed with a dagger too i feel like 10:49 there's going to be a bit of romance 10:50 there's always romance amongst the elves 10:52 and it's like you can't be with him wow 10:54 why not he's my sister 10:56 always i saw there's like a human and an 10:59 elf in like a forbidden romance kind of 11:01 thing and like during this period like 11:04 humans and elves weren't really getting 11:06 along and so i think that's where some 11:08 of the conflict might be coming yes the 11:10 fighting yeah a lot of stroking of the 11:11 ears 11:13 right i need a reason 11:15 to tell everyone watching why they 11:16 should watch the teaser trailer 11:18 galadriel 11:21 if you're a law buff like me i think it 11:23 will be really interesting to see this 11:25 kind of expansive look at middle earth 11:27 nice girls if you just have a moment to 11:30 just be a kid again and be in wondering 11:33 all just take that moment i think we all 11:35 need it 11:36 you're just gonna be transported to 11:37 another world and you just you're just 11:39 gonna forget your own for the whole time 11:40 you're gonna watch it from that teaser i 11:43 have no doubt is is gonna be epic 11:45 special thank you to my guests the 11:46 fellowship of influencers chanel joel 11:49 and kelsey thank you for joining me 11:51 let's do this together all right 11:52 lord of the rings the rings of power 11:54 drops when september 11:57 check out the teaser trailer the link is 11:59 below out on prime video when september 12:01 2nd 12:03 be there be square 12:05 or circle really yes 12:07 be there or be thrown into mount doom 12:09 okay 12:27 you I hope they paid these kids a LOT. They are probably going to wind up as eternal memes. TL:DW ... supposedly superfans ... don't even know how the rings were made in the story, likely didn't even read / listen to the books.

doing very excited after watching that 00:50 yeah come on very intrigued to just see 00:52 everyone else's thoughts and just gather 00:54 what we all think that's what we're here 00:55 for that's what we're here for all right 00:56 three words to describe the rings of 00:58 power teaser trailer go okay 01:00 breathtaking i literally didn't breathe 01:03 uh exhilarating and intriguing i didn't 01:06 notice that you weren't breathing yeah i 01:07 was gonna call the first day it was like 01:10 i was trying but every time i was like 01:12 okay take a breath something new would 01:14 happen and it was like 01:15 actually like and i was like you can 01:17 fall off your chair 01:20 oh um i would say like expansive because 01:22 we're getting this like whole new look 01:24 into the second age on screen and it's 01:26 gonna be so amazing i also wanna say 01:30 representative because we're getting 01:32 like more diversity within this series 01:34 like we're seeing our face black elf 01:35 we're seeing the first female dwarf and 01:37 i'm very looking forward to like looking 01:39 at that and then i guess like intriguing 01:42 because obviously this period of history 01:45 within the middle earth is very 01:48 rife with notions of the plot of like 01:50 the hobbit and all of the rings and 01:52 seeing how the rings of power are being 01:54 forged definitely more than three words 01:56 i love it thank you i'm an overexplainer 01:59 i love it i love it i love it i would 02:00 say 02:01 awestruck mystified and starstruck wow 02:05 very strong but that is like the word 02:07 for the next teaser yeah just like 02:09 popping up yeah with your name 02:11 [Laughter] 02:13 so in the teaser trailer and obviously 02:14 there's a lot of stuff that you've 02:15 probably read about it we're introduced 02:17 to the first black elf 02:19 we're introduced to the first female 02:21 dwarf now diversity especially on screen 02:24 as an actor means a lot to me because 02:26 growing up i hardly had that you know 02:28 watching tv and watching a lot of films 02:30 and stuff never saw people of my color 02:32 so it's exciting to see that you know 02:34 diversity is being explored in the rings 02:36 of power 02:37 what are your thoughts on the casting 02:38 decisions um i'm very excited for it 02:40 because tolkien's work was always about 02:42 being inclusive i mean we see it through 02:43 the fellowship like a bunch of people 02:45 from different backgrounds coming 02:46 together in order to face a common enemy 02:49 being sauron and just seeing the cast 02:52 and decisions it's really really 02:53 exciting to see it's just gonna mean so 02:55 much to like me personally because it's 02:57 getting that representation in midlift 02:59 young kids are gonna see that on screen 03:01 and it's just gonna be really nice for 03:03 them to be like oh hey there's someone 03:04 that looks just like me at being like an 03:06 elf and a dwarf and yeah it just fills 03:09 me with a lot of hope for like the 03:10 future of the rings of power and seeing 03:12 like much more diversity being included 03:14 as well it's gonna be inspiring right 03:15 for the next generation definitely what 03:16 about you in the original film series 03:19 which i absolutely adored but there are 03:21 not many women in it and the three women 03:24 who are in it never speak to one another 03:26 i don't really 03:28 so it will be so cool to be able to see 03:31 more female representation to maybe see 03:34 them actually interact with one another 03:36 very excited to see it how about you 03:38 girls it just makes me so excited for 03:40 the next generation because like as you 03:43 said like growing up like i was still 03:44 excited about being 03:46 um an elf or a hobbit and joining in 03:49 with it even though i wasn't represented 03:51 like either like my disability or my 03:53 queerness wasn't represented but just 03:54 makes me so happy makes my heart warm 03:56 like going to be seeing younger people 03:58 just the truth the rings of power is the 04:00 reason why the four of us are sitting 04:01 here today 04:02 and it's like we would we probably 04:03 wouldn't have if the series wasn't being 04:05 made like you said it really is a true 04:06 like meaning of fellowship yeah we're 04:08 gonna furnish you 04:11 guys 04:12 so from the tweezer trailer what 04:14 intrigued you the most rings happening 04:16 or like theme form in the like the lore 04:19 like sauron basically like helps forge 04:22 the rings and so i think um they start 04:24 making like some initial rings that like 04:26 don't have much power so but yeah you're 04:28 describing it sounds like sirens in like 04:29 a ring storm 04:29 [Laughter] 04:35 for me as well like the one thing that i 04:36 spotted from the trailers was just like 04:38 how expansive of a look we're gonna get 04:40 towards like the second age it's been 04:42 not previously like very much touched 04:44 upon and so i'm very excited to see how 04:47 prime video like takes it and just 04:50 shows this whole kind of new look at 04:52 middle earth watching the trailer and 04:54 trying to work out right where are we 04:56 here the locations and the sets it's all 04:58 very exciting to just trying to theorize 05:01 what we're going to see in the series 05:02 because there's still so much 05:04 still so much we don't know 05:05 i also want to know why they were while 05:07 they were fighting who's fighting why 05:09 are they fighting literally where are we 05:11 who are they what's going on i mean it's 05:13 not going to work 05:13 [Laughter] 05:16 all right let's talk main characters 05:18 give me your theories of who you might 05:20 have seen in the teaser trailer i've 05:21 seen it a lot 05:26 that part in the trailer would come 05:28 around waterfall with the knife and like 05:30 yes i'm already obsessed i'm already 05:32 obsessed the way we've seen her in the 05:33 movies she's been very like flowy 05:36 yeah she's not doing much and this time 05:38 she's like full on because we are so far 05:41 in the past and i'm so excited to just 05:43 see this younger version of her and 05:45 there's so much who knows she wouldn't 05:47 go to school 05:52 no magic in the class i mean i want her 05:54 dagger 05:55 it looks very cool stunning and 05:57 beautiful and i might have to fight for 05:58 it she looks good 06:00 she will kill me i'm definitely excited 06:02 to see like this kind of younger and 06:03 maybe more inexperienced galadriel and 06:06 just see kind of how the like how we see 06:09 through the rings of power like how the 06:11 experiences will shape her i want to 06:12 know who's the hand was at the end yeah 06:14 that was interesting because it was a 06:16 little hand i think that was a hobbit i 06:18 am all about hobbits as you can tell 06:21 so 06:22 i wonder any theories on who the hobbit 06:23 might be if it is a 06:25 is it a is it a young smuggler maybe 06:27 like some ancestor of the baggins or 06:29 something always those baggins is 06:31 getting into trouble they should never 06:33 have left a shower 06:35 i disagree 06:36 we wouldn't have a whole thing if they 06:37 didn't leave that's true that's very 06:39 true i just love the fact that we're 06:41 touching upon the second age of middle 06:42 earth because it's really one of the 06:43 times where a lot of like the 06:46 underlying kind of plot threads of the 06:48 lord the rings comes into things and so 06:51 we get to see like uh the rings 06:53 hopefully we'll make see the rings of 06:54 power being forged we get to see sauron 06:57 potassium 06:59 in the original rings the photoshop of 07:01 the ring we saw sauer unbattling you 07:03 know the armies and it's all cut his 07:06 finger off but that was like so brief 07:07 and you don't really get to see sauron 07:09 in his pram which is what's so exciting 07:11 about this because we get to be very 07:12 like deceitful hopefully and because 07:14 during this year he does do a lot of 07:16 like corruption and manipulation we love 07:19 our origin story like gatekeep girl boss 07:23 uh 07:24 i love that we're going so far back 07:26 especially i think there's something 07:28 very cool with prequels in the way that 07:31 they can make you 07:32 love the things you already love even 07:34 more so the fact that we're gonna be 07:36 seeing things that are potentially gonna 07:38 make us love the hobbit films and the 07:40 lord of the rings film and potentially 07:42 the books as well so last night we had 07:45 our own little middle-earth experience 07:48 how did it feel 07:51 like it was such a good time honestly 07:53 and the venue and everything it just 07:55 looked the part it was incredible and i 07:58 think i was so happy to get to share it 07:59 with you guys like 08:01 our own little fellowship 08:04 but it was amazing like i felt like i 08:06 really got to like step into another 08:07 world and then kelsey and i for like 08:09 most of the evening were just like 08:10 dancing like hobbits 08:11 in like our little boys you had your 08:13 blankets around like 08:15 you're just like spinning around i can't 08:16 say that the moves are incredible but 08:18 the enthusiasm is certainly there it was 08:20 it was very fun and it was just nice to 08:22 like get to like be with everyone and 08:25 then like all sit together and react to 08:27 that i think right now if middle earth 08:28 had like a club 08:30 that's prob that was it that gandalf and 08:32 saruman probably lean 08:34 yeah this tune is banking 08:37 i just felt like a giant kid again yeah 08:39 like if childhood me could see this 08:41 moment in my life they would be like 08:44 wow 08:45 yeah it doesn't it's great you made it 08:47 to middle earth 08:48 like walking through the fire ring it 08:50 was so cool and the cocktails were very 08:52 nice while we were waiting for like the 08:54 trailer to play um the music was also 08:56 playing it was very much looking like 08:58 new york fashion 09:00 yeah and it's the music that was playing 09:02 we were like oh we're going to get a 09:03 fashion show i remember putting out my 09:05 phone i was like it's radio lords of the 09:06 rings 09:09 it's about to get like mordor going down 09:11 to hobbiton 09:12 i know you guys are selfie holics right 09:15 what was the best picture you took of 09:16 the night 09:17 my favorite picture i got was actually a 09:19 picture you tried to take outside 09:35 that's the vibe i want to bring to 09:37 everybody 09:38 yeah of course i know i'm a mystical 09:40 like unknown creature like sauron's 09:42 daughter or something yeah yeah 09:44 all right i want to hear your fan 09:46 theories i feel like we're going to see 09:49 some early ruminations of like the rings 09:52 of power being forged because during the 09:55 second age this is where like sauron 09:56 comes in and he's like yo i'm gonna 09:59 yo yo i'm gonna make a ring 10:03 i'm right now 10:03 try to make some rings feel like there 10:05 needs to be a reason for the rings to be 10:07 made right so obviously with the wars 10:08 happening and then like oh 10:11 what was the reason 10:14 sauron wanted to correct people corrupt 10:17 and control and plus if we had that all 10:19 like straight away we need season two 10:22 multiple seasons you know do you think 10:24 we're going to see another side of 10:25 sauron yes like maybe he falls in love 10:28 maybe there's a reason every villain is 10:30 a hero in his own story 10:35 [Laughter] 10:40 do you have any predictions of what's 10:41 going to happen in the series when 10:42 september 2nd drops 10:44 i just want to see gladriol um basically 10:47 the story of getting that dagger i'm 10:48 obsessed with a dagger too i feel like 10:49 there's going to be a bit of romance 10:50 there's always romance amongst the elves 10:52 and it's like you can't be with him wow 10:54 why not he's my sister 10:56 always i saw there's like a human and an 10:59 elf in like a forbidden romance kind of 11:01 thing and like during this period like 11:04 humans and elves weren't really getting 11:06 along and so i think that's where some 11:08 of the conflict might be coming yes the 11:10 fighting yeah a lot of stroking of the 11:11 ears 11:13 right i need a reason 11:15 to tell everyone watching why they 11:16 should watch the teaser trailer 11:18 galadriel 11:21 if you're a law buff like me i think it 11:23 will be really interesting to see this 11:25 kind of expansive look at middle earth 11:27 nice girls if you just have a moment to 11:30 just be a kid again and be in wondering 11:33 all just take that moment i think we all 11:35 need it 11:36 you're just gonna be transported to 11:37 another world and you just you're just 11:39 gonna forget your own for the whole time 11:40 you're gonna watch it from that teaser i 11:43 have no doubt is is gonna be epic 11:45 special thank you to my guests the 11:46 fellowship of influencers chanel joel 11:49 and kelsey thank you for joining me 11:51 let's do this together all right 11:52 lord of the rings the rings of power 11:54 drops when september 11:57 check out the teaser trailer the link is 11:59 below out on prime video when september 12:01 2nd 12:03 be there be square 12:05 or circle really yes 12:07 be there or be thrown into mount doom 12:09 okay 12:27 you I hope they paid these kids a LOT. They are probably going to wind up as eternal memes. TL:DW ... supposedly superfans ... don't even know how the rings were made in the story, likely didn't even read / listen to the books. I watched that. Talk about max cringe! And everyone talks about how important representation is... Where's the white, male, heterosexual, Christian representation on the panel? |

Click To View Spoiler 00:00 every time i was like okay take a breath 00:02 something new would happen and it was 00:03 like 00:04 it's made worse it's never peace right 00:05 if like sauron is hot i feel like people 00:07 will be like i can fix him 00:09 middle earth had like a club yeah this 00:11 tune is banking or stroke mystified and 00:14 starstruck wow 00:17 haven't you ever wondered 00:19 what else is out there 00:21 [Music] 00:23 there's wonders in this world 00:25 beyond our wandering 00:32 my name is mr isla and i'm so excited 00:34 because prime videos new epic fantasy 00:37 series the lord of the rings the rings 00:39 of power 00:41 just dropped with a teaser trailer and 00:42 i'm here with the fellowship of 00:44 influencers 00:45 chanel joel and kelsey how you guys 00:47 doing very excited after watching that 00:50 yeah come on very intrigued to just see 00:52 everyone else's thoughts and just gather 00:54 what we all think that's what we're here 00:55 for that's what we're here for all right 00:56 three words to describe the rings of 00:58 power teaser trailer go okay 01:00 breathtaking i literally didn't breathe 01:03 uh exhilarating and intriguing i didn't 01:06 notice that you weren't breathing yeah i 01:07 was gonna call the first day it was like 01:10 i was trying but every time i was like 01:12 okay take a breath something new would 01:14 happen and it was like 01:15 actually like and i was like you can 01:17 fall off your chair 01:20 oh um i would say like expansive because 01:22 we're getting this like whole new look 01:24 into the second age on screen and it's 01:26 gonna be so amazing i also wanna say 01:30 representative because we're getting 01:32 like more diversity within this series 01:34 like we're seeing our face black elf 01:35 we're seeing the first female dwarf and 01:37 i'm very looking forward to like looking 01:39 at that and then i guess like intriguing 01:42 because obviously this period of history 01:45 within the middle earth is very 01:48 rife with notions of the plot of like 01:50 the hobbit and all of the rings and 01:52 seeing how the rings of power are being 01:54 forged definitely more than three words 01:56 i love it thank you i'm an overexplainer 01:59 i love it i love it i love it i would 02:00 say 02:01 awestruck mystified and starstruck wow 02:05 very strong but that is like the word 02:07 for the next teaser yeah just like 02:09 popping up yeah with your name 02:11 [Laughter] 02:13 so in the teaser trailer and obviously 02:14 there's a lot of stuff that you've 02:15 probably read about it we're introduced 02:17 to the first black elf 02:19 we're introduced to the first female 02:21 dwarf now diversity especially on screen 02:24 as an actor means a lot to me because 02:26 growing up i hardly had that you know 02:28 watching tv and watching a lot of films 02:30 and stuff never saw people of my color 02:32 so it's exciting to see that you know 02:34 diversity is being explored in the rings 02:36 of power 02:37 what are your thoughts on the casting 02:38 decisions um i'm very excited for it 02:40 because tolkien's work was always about 02:42 being inclusive i mean we see it through 02:43 the fellowship like a bunch of people 02:45 from different backgrounds coming 02:46 together in order to face a common enemy 02:49 being sauron and just seeing the cast 02:52 and decisions it's really really 02:53 exciting to see it's just gonna mean so 02:55 much to like me personally because it's 02:57 getting that representation in midlift 02:59 young kids are gonna see that on screen 03:01 and it's just gonna be really nice for 03:03 them to be like oh hey there's someone 03:04 that looks just like me at being like an 03:06 elf and a dwarf and yeah it just fills 03:09 me with a lot of hope for like the 03:10 future of the rings of power and seeing 03:12 like much more diversity being included 03:14 as well it's gonna be inspiring right 03:15 for the next generation definitely what 03:16 about you in the original film series 03:19 which i absolutely adored but there are 03:21 not many women in it and the three women 03:24 who are in it never speak to one another 03:26 i don't really 03:28 so it will be so cool to be able to see 03:31 more female representation to maybe see 03:34 them actually interact with one another 03:36 very excited to see it how about you 03:38 girls it just makes me so excited for 03:40 the next generation because like as you 03:43 said like growing up like i was still 03:44 excited about being 03:46 um an elf or a hobbit and joining in 03:49 with it even though i wasn't represented 03:51 like either like my disability or my 03:53 queerness wasn't represented but just 03:54 makes me so happy makes my heart warm 03:56 like going to be seeing younger people 03:58 just the truth the rings of power is the 04:00 reason why the four of us are sitting 04:01 here today 04:02 and it's like we would we probably 04:03 wouldn't have if the series wasn't being 04:05 made like you said it really is a true 04:06 like meaning of fellowship yeah we're 04:08 gonna furnish you 04:11 guys 04:12 so from the tweezer trailer what 04:14 intrigued you the most rings happening 04:16 or like theme form in the like the lore 04:19 like sauron basically like helps forge 04:22 the rings and so i think um they start 04:24 making like some initial rings that like 04:26 don't have much power so but yeah you're 04:28 describing it sounds like sirens in like 04:29 a ring storm 04:29 [Laughter] 04:35 for me as well like the one thing that i 04:36 spotted from the trailers was just like 04:38 how expansive of a look we're gonna get 04:40 towards like the second age it's been 04:42 not previously like very much touched 04:44 upon and so i'm very excited to see how 04:47 prime video like takes it and just 04:50 shows this whole kind of new look at 04:52 middle earth watching the trailer and 04:54 trying to work out right where are we 04:56 here the locations and the sets it's all 04:58 very exciting to just trying to theorize 05:01 what we're going to see in the series 05:02 because there's still so much 05:04 still so much we don't know 05:05 i also want to know why they were while 05:07 they were fighting who's fighting why 05:09 are they fighting literally where are we 05:11 who are they what's going on i mean it's 05:13 not going to work 05:13 [Laughter] 05:16 all right let's talk main characters 05:18 give me your theories of who you might 05:20 have seen in the teaser trailer i've 05:21 seen it a lot 05:26 that part in the trailer would come 05:28 around waterfall with the knife and like 05:30 yes i'm already obsessed i'm already 05:32 obsessed the way we've seen her in the 05:33 movies she's been very like flowy 05:36 yeah she's not doing much and this time 05:38 she's like full on because we are so far 05:41 in the past and i'm so excited to just 05:43 see this younger version of her and 05:45 there's so much who knows she wouldn't 05:47 go to school 05:52 no magic in the class i mean i want her 05:54 dagger 05:55 it looks very cool stunning and 05:57 beautiful and i might have to fight for 05:58 it she looks good 06:00 she will kill me i'm definitely excited 06:02 to see like this kind of younger and 06:03 maybe more inexperienced galadriel and 06:06 just see kind of how the like how we see 06:09 through the rings of power like how the 06:11 experiences will shape her i want to 06:12 know who's the hand was at the end yeah 06:14 that was interesting because it was a 06:16 little hand i think that was a hobbit i 06:18 am all about hobbits as you can tell 06:21 so 06:22 i wonder any theories on who the hobbit 06:23 might be if it is a 06:25 is it a is it a young smuggler maybe 06:27 like some ancestor of the baggins or 06:29 something always those baggins is 06:31 getting into trouble they should never 06:33 have left a shower 06:35 i disagree 06:36 we wouldn't have a whole thing if they 06:37 didn't leave that's true that's very 06:39 true i just love the fact that we're 06:41 touching upon the second age of middle 06:42 earth because it's really one of the 06:43 times where a lot of like the 06:46 underlying kind of plot threads of the 06:48 lord the rings comes into things and so 06:51 we get to see like uh the rings 06:53 hopefully we'll make see the rings of 06:54 power being forged we get to see sauron 06:57 potassium 06:59 in the original rings the photoshop of 07:01 the ring we saw sauer unbattling you 07:03 know the armies and it's all cut his 07:06 finger off but that was like so brief 07:07 and you don't really get to see sauron 07:09 in his pram which is what's so exciting 07:11 about this because we get to be very 07:12 like deceitful hopefully and because 07:14 during this year he does do a lot of 07:16 like corruption and manipulation we love 07:19 our origin story like gatekeep girl boss 07:23 uh 07:24 i love that we're going so far back 07:26 especially i think there's something 07:28 very cool with prequels in the way that 07:31 they can make you 07:32 love the things you already love even 07:34 more so the fact that we're gonna be 07:36 seeing things that are potentially gonna 07:38 make us love the hobbit films and the 07:40 lord of the rings film and potentially 07:42 the books as well so last night we had 07:45 our own little middle-earth experience 07:48 how did it feel 07:51 like it was such a good time honestly 07:53 and the venue and everything it just 07:55 looked the part it was incredible and i 07:58 think i was so happy to get to share it 07:59 with you guys like 08:01 our own little fellowship 08:04 but it was amazing like i felt like i 08:06 really got to like step into another 08:07 world and then kelsey and i for like 08:09 most of the evening were just like 08:10 dancing like hobbits 08:11 in like our little boys you had your 08:13 blankets around like 08:15 you're just like spinning around i can't 08:16 say that the moves are incredible but 08:18 the enthusiasm is certainly there it was 08:20 it was very fun and it was just nice to 08:22 like get to like be with everyone and 08:25 then like all sit together and react to 08:27 that i think right now if middle earth 08:28 had like a club 08:30 that's prob that was it that gandalf and 08:32 saruman probably lean 08:34 yeah this tune is banking 08:37 i just felt like a giant kid again yeah 08:39 like if childhood me could see this 08:41 moment in my life they would be like 08:44 wow 08:45 yeah it doesn't it's great you made it 08:47 to middle earth 08:48 like walking through the fire ring it 08:50 was so cool and the cocktails were very 08:52 nice while we were waiting for like the 08:54 trailer to play um the music was also 08:56 playing it was very much looking like 08:58 new york fashion 09:00 yeah and it's the music that was playing 09:02 we were like oh we're going to get a 09:03 fashion show i remember putting out

notice that you weren't breathing yeah i 01:07 was gonna call the first day it was like 01:10 i was trying but every time i was like 01:12 okay take a breath something new would 01:14 happen and it was like 01:15 actually like and i was like you can 01:17 fall off your chair 01:20 oh um i would say like expansive because 01:22 we're getting this like whole new look 01:24 into the second age on screen and it's 01:26 gonna be so amazing i also wanna say 01:30 representative because we're getting 01:32 like more diversity within this series 01:34 like we're seeing our face black elf 01:35 we're seeing the first female dwarf and 01:37 i'm very looking forward to like looking 01:39 at that and then i guess like intriguing 01:42 because obviously this period of history 01:45 within the middle earth is very 01:48 rife with notions of the plot of like 01:50 the hobbit and all of the rings and 01:52 seeing how the rings of power are being 01:54 forged definitely more than three words 01:56 i love it thank you i'm an overexplainer 01:59 i love it i love it i love it i would 02:00 say 02:01 awestruck mystified and starstruck wow 02:05 very strong but that is like the word 02:07 for the next teaser yeah just like 02:09 popping up yeah with your name 02:11 [Laughter] 02:13 so in the teaser trailer and obviously 02:14 there's a lot of stuff that you've 02:15 probably read about it we're introduced 02:17 to the first black elf 02:19 we're introduced to the first female 02:21 dwarf now diversity especially on screen 02:24 as an actor means a lot to me because 02:26 growing up i hardly had that you know 02:28 watching tv and watching a lot of films 02:30 and stuff never saw people of my color 02:32 so it's exciting to see that you know 02:34 diversity is being explored in the rings 02:36 of power 02:37 what are your thoughts on the casting 02:38 decisions um i'm very excited for it 02:40 because tolkien's work was always about 02:42 being inclusive i mean we see it through 02:43 the fellowship like a bunch of people 02:45 from different backgrounds coming 02:46 together in order to face a common enemy 02:49 being sauron and just seeing the cast 02:52 and decisions it's really really 02:53 exciting to see it's just gonna mean so 02:55 much to like me personally because it's 02:57 getting that representation in midlift 02:59 young kids are gonna see that on screen 03:01 and it's just gonna be really nice for 03:03 them to be like oh hey there's someone 03:04 that looks just like me at being like an 03:06 elf and a dwarf and yeah it just fills 03:09 me with a lot of hope for like the 03:10 future of the rings of power and seeing 03:12 like much more diversity being included 03:14 as well it's gonna be inspiring right 03:15 for the next generation definitely what 03:16 about you in the original film series 03:19 which i absolutely adored but there are 03:21 not many women in it and the three women 03:24 who are in it never speak to one another 03:26 i don't really 03:28 so it will be so cool to be able to see 03:31 more female representation to maybe see 03:34 them actually interact with one another 03:36 very excited to see it how about you 03:38 girls it just makes me so excited for 03:40 the next generation because like as you 03:43 said like growing up like i was still 03:44 excited about being 03:46 um an elf or a hobbit and joining in 03:49 with it even though i wasn't represented 03:51 like either like my disability or my 03:53 queerness wasn't represented but just 03:54 makes me so happy makes my heart warm 03:56 like going to be seeing younger people 03:58 just the truth the rings of power is the 04:00 reason why the four of us are sitting 04:01 here today 04:02 and it's like we would we probably 04:03 wouldn't have if the series wasn't being 04:05 made like you said it really is a true 04:06 like meaning of fellowship yeah we're 04:08 gonna furnish you 04:11 guys 04:12 so from the tweezer trailer what 04:14 intrigued you the most rings happening 04:16 or like theme form in the like the lore 04:19 like sauron basically like helps forge 04:22 the rings and so i think um they start 04:24 making like some initial rings that like 04:26 don't have much power so but yeah you're 04:28 describing it sounds like sirens in like 04:29 a ring storm 04:29 [Laughter] 04:35 for me as well like the one thing that i 04:36 spotted from the trailers was just like 04:38 how expansive of a look we're gonna get 04:40 towards like the second age it's been 04:42 not previously like very much touched 04:44 upon and so i'm very excited to see how 04:47 prime video like takes it and just 04:50 shows this whole kind of new look at 04:52 middle earth watching the trailer and 04:54 trying to work out right where are we 04:56 here the locations and the sets it's all 04:58 very exciting to just trying to theorize 05:01 what we're going to see in the series 05:02 because there's still so much 05:04 still so much we don't know 05:05 i also want to know why they were while 05:07 they were fighting who's fighting why 05:09 are they fighting literally where are we 05:11 who are they what's going on i mean it's 05:13 not going to work 05:13 [Laughter] 05:16 all right let's talk main characters 05:18 give me your theories of who you might 05:20 have seen in the teaser trailer i've 05:21 seen it a lot 05:26 that part in the trailer would come 05:28 around waterfall with the knife and like 05:30 yes i'm already obsessed i'm already 05:32 obsessed the way we've seen her in the 05:33 movies she's been very like flowy 05:36 yeah she's not doing much and this time 05:38 she's like full on because we are so far 05:41 in the past and i'm so excited to just 05:43 see this younger version of her and 05:45 there's so much who knows she wouldn't 05:47 go to school 05:52 no magic in the class i mean i want her 05:54 dagger 05:55 it looks very cool stunning and 05:57 beautiful and i might have to fight for 05:58 it she looks good 06:00 she will kill me i'm definitely excited 06:02 to see like this kind of younger and 06:03 maybe more inexperienced galadriel and 06:06 just see kind of how the like how we see 06:09 through the rings of power like how the 06:11 experiences will shape her i want to 06:12 know who's the hand was at the end yeah 06:14 that was interesting because it was a 06:16 little hand i think that was a hobbit i 06:18 am all about hobbits as you can tell 06:21 so 06:22 i wonder any theories on who the hobbit 06:23 might be if it is a 06:25 is it a is it a young smuggler maybe 06:27 like some ancestor of the baggins or 06:29 something always those baggins is 06:31 getting into trouble they should never 06:33 have left a shower 06:35 i disagree 06:36 we wouldn't have a whole thing if they 06:37 didn't leave that's true that's very 06:39 true i just love the fact that we're 06:41 touching upon the second age of middle 06:42 earth because it's really one of the 06:43 times where a lot of like the 06:46 underlying kind of plot threads of the 06:48 lord the rings comes into things and so 06:51 we get to see like uh the rings 06:53 hopefully we'll make see the rings of 06:54 power being forged we get to see sauron 06:57 potassium 06:59 in the original rings the photoshop of 07:01 the ring we saw sauer unbattling you 07:03 know the armies and it's all cut his 07:06 finger off but that was like so brief 07:07 and you don't really get to see sauron 07:09 in his pram which is what's so exciting 07:11 about this because we get to be very 07:12 like deceitful hopefully and because 07:14 during this year he does do a lot of 07:16 like corruption and manipulation we love 07:19 our origin story like gatekeep girl boss 07:23 uh 07:24 i love that we're going so far back 07:26 especially i think there's something 07:28 very cool with prequels in the way that 07:31 they can make you 07:32 love the things you already love even 07:34 more so the fact that we're gonna be 07:36 seeing things that are potentially gonna 07:38 make us love the hobbit films and the 07:40 lord of the rings film and potentially 07:42 the books as well so last night we had 07:45 our own little middle-earth experience 07:48 how did it feel 07:51 like it was such a good time honestly 07:53 and the venue and everything it just 07:55 looked the part it was incredible and i 07:58 think i was so happy to get to share it 07:59 with you guys like 08:01 our own little fellowship 08:04 but it was amazing like i felt like i 08:06 really got to like step into another 08:07 world and then kelsey and i for like 08:09 most of the evening were just like 08:10 dancing like hobbits 08:11 in like our little boys you had your 08:13 blankets around like 08:15 you're just like spinning around i can't 08:16 say that the moves are incredible but 08:18 the enthusiasm is certainly there it was 08:20 it was very fun and it was just nice to 08:22 like get to like be with everyone and 08:25 then like all sit together and react to 08:27 that i think right now if middle earth 08:28 had like a club 08:30 that's prob that was it that gandalf and 08:32 saruman probably lean 08:34 yeah this tune is banking 08:37 i just felt like a giant kid again yeah 08:39 like if childhood me could see this 08:41 moment in my life they would be like 08:44 wow 08:45 yeah it doesn't it's great you made it 08:47 to middle earth 08:48 like walking through the fire ring it 08:50 was so cool and the cocktails were very 08:52 nice while we were waiting for like the 08:54 trailer to play um the music was also 08:56 playing it was very much looking like 08:58 new york fashion 09:00 yeah and it's the music that was playing 09:02 we were like oh we're going to get a 09:03 fashion show i remember putting out my 09:05 phone i was like it's radio lords of the 09:06 rings 09:09 it's about to get like mordor going down 09:11 to hobbiton 09:12 i know you guys are selfie holics right 09:15 what was the best picture you took of 09:16 the night 09:17 my favorite picture i got was actually a 09:19 picture you tried to take outside 09:35 that's the vibe i want to bring to 09:37 everybody 09:38 yeah of course i know i'm a mystical 09:40 like unknown creature like sauron's 09:42 daughter or something yeah yeah 09:44 all right i want to hear your fan 09:46 theories i feel like we're going to see 09:49 some early ruminations of like the rings 09:52 of power being forged because during the 09:55 second age this is where like sauron 09:56 comes in and he's like yo i'm gonna 09:59 yo yo i'm gonna make a ring 10:03 i'm right now 10:03 try to make some rings feel like there 10:05 needs to be a reason for the rings to be 10:07 made right so obviously with the wars 10:08 happening and then like oh 10:11 what was the reason 10:14 sauron wanted to correct people corrupt 10:17 and control and plus if we had that all 10:19 like straight away we need season two 10:22 multiple seasons you know do you think 10:24 we're going to see another side of 10:25 sauron yes like maybe he falls in love 10:28 maybe there's a reason every villain is 10:30 a hero in his own story 10:35 [Laughter] 10:40 do you have any predictions of what's 10:41 going to happen in the series when 10:42 september 2nd drops 10:44 i just want to see gladriol um basically 10:47 the story of getting that dagger i'm 10:48 obsessed with a dagger too i feel like 10:49 there's going to be a bit of romance 10:50 there's always romance amongst the elves 10:52 and it's like you can't be with him wow 10:54 why not he's my sister 10:56 always i saw there's like a human and an 10:59 elf in like a forbidden romance kind of 11:01 thing and like during this period like 11:04 humans and elves weren't really getting 11:06 along and so i think that's where some 11:08 of the conflict might be coming yes the 11:10 fighting yeah a lot of stroking of the 11:11 ears 11:13 right i need a reason 11:15 to tell everyone watching why they 11:16 should watch the teaser trailer 11:18 galadriel 11:21 if you're a law buff like me i think it 11:23 will be really interesting to see this 11:25 kind of expansive look at middle earth 11:27 nice girls if you just have a moment to 11:30 just be a kid again and be in wondering 11:33 all just take that moment i think we all 11:35 need it 11:36 you're just gonna be transported to 11:37 another world and you just you're just 11:39 gonna forget your own for the whole time 11:40 you're gonna watch it from that teaser i 11:43 have no doubt is is gonna be epic 11:45 special thank you to my guests the 11:46 fellowship of influencers chanel joel 11:49 and kelsey thank you for joining me 11:51 let's do this together all right 11:52 lord of the rings the rings of power 11:54 drops when september 11:57 check out the teaser trailer the link is 11:59 below out on prime video when september 12:01 2nd 12:03 be there be square 12:05 or circle really yes 12:07 be there or be thrown into mount doom 12:09 okay 12:27 you I hope they paid these kids a LOT. They are probably going to wind up as eternal memes. TL:DW ... supposedly superfans ... don't even know how the rings were made in the story, likely didn't even read / listen to the books. That is the worst like/dislike ratio I can recall ever seeing on YouTube. |

Click To View Spoiler 00:00 every time i was like okay take a breath 00:02 something new would happen and it was 00:03 like 00:04 it's made worse it's never peace right 00:05 if like sauron is hot i feel like people 00:07 will be like i can fix him 00:09 middle earth had like a club yeah this 00:11 tune is banking or stroke mystified and 00:14 starstruck wow 00:17 haven't you ever wondered 00:19 what else is out there 00:21 [Music] 00:23 there's wonders in this world 00:25 beyond our wandering 00:32 my name is mr isla and i'm so excited 00:34 because prime videos new epic fantasy 00:37 series the lord of the rings the rings 00:39 of power 00:41 just dropped with a teaser trailer and 00:42 i'm here with the fellowship of 00:44 influencers 00:45 chanel joel and kelsey how you guys 00:47 doing very excited after watching that 00:50 yeah come on very intrigued to just see 00:52 everyone else's thoughts and just gather 00:54 what we all think that's what we're here 00:55 for that's what we're here for all right 00:56 three words to describe the rings of 00:58 power teaser trailer go okay 01:00 breathtaking i literally didn't breathe 01:03 uh exhilarating and intriguing i didn't 01:06 notice that you weren't breathing yeah i 01:07 was gonna call the first day it was like 01:10 i was trying but every time i was like 01:12 okay take a breath something new would 01:14 happen and it was like 01:15 actually like and i was like you can 01:17 fall off your chair 01:20 oh um i would say like expansive because 01:22 we're getting this like whole new look 01:24 into the second age on screen and it's 01:26 gonna be so amazing i also wanna say 01:30 representative because we're getting 01:32 like more diversity within this series 01:34 like we're seeing our face black elf 01:35 we're seeing the first female dwarf and 01:37 i'm very looking forward to like looking 01:39 at that and then i guess like intriguing 01:42 because obviously this period of history 01:45 within the middle earth is very 01:48 rife with notions of the plot of like 01:50 the hobbit and all of the rings and 01:52 seeing how the rings of power are being 01:54 forged definitely more than three words 01:56 i love it thank you i'm an overexplainer 01:59 i love it i love it i love it i would 02:00 say 02:01 awestruck mystified and starstruck wow 02:05 very strong but that is like the word 02:07 for the next teaser yeah just like 02:09 popping up yeah with your name 02:11 [Laughter] 02:13 so in the teaser trailer and obviously 02:14 there's a lot of stuff that you've 02:15 probably read about it we're introduced 02:17 to the first black elf 02:19 we're introduced to the first female 02:21 dwarf now diversity especially on screen 02:24 as an actor means a lot to me because 02:26 growing up i hardly had that you know 02:28 watching tv and watching a lot of films 02:30 and stuff never saw people of my color 02:32 so it's exciting to see that you know 02:34 diversity is being explored in the rings 02:36 of power 02:37 what are your thoughts on the casting 02:38 decisions um i'm very excited for it 02:40 because tolkien's work was always about 02:42 being inclusive i mean we see it through 02:43 the fellowship like a bunch of people 02:45 from different backgrounds coming 02:46 together in order to face a common enemy 02:49 being sauron and just seeing the cast 02:52 and decisions it's really really 02:53 exciting to see it's just gonna mean so 02:55 much to like me personally because it's 02:57 getting that representation in midlift 02:59 young kids are gonna see that on screen 03:01 and it's just gonna be really nice for 03:03 them to be like oh hey there's someone 03:04 that looks just like me at being like an 03:06 elf and a dwarf and yeah it just fills 03:09 me with a lot of hope for like the 03:10 future of the rings of power and seeing 03:12 like much more diversity being included 03:14 as well it's gonna be inspiring right 03:15 for the next generation definitely what 03:16 about you in the original film series 03:19 which i absolutely adored but there are 03:21 not many women in it and the three women 03:24 who are in it never speak to one another 03:26 i don't really 03:28 so it will be so cool to be able to see 03:31 more female representation to maybe see 03:34 them actually interact with one another 03:36 very excited to see it how about you 03:38 girls it just makes me so excited for 03:40 the next generation because like as you 03:43 said like growing up like i was still 03:44 excited about being 03:46 um an elf or a hobbit and joining in 03:49 with it even though i wasn't represented 03:51 like either like my disability or my 03:53 queerness wasn't represented but just 03:54 makes me so happy makes my heart warm 03:56 like going to be seeing younger people 03:58 just the truth the rings of power is the 04:00 reason why the four of us are sitting 04:01 here today 04:02 and it's like we would we probably 04:03 wouldn't have if the series wasn't being 04:05 made like you said it really is a true 04:06 like meaning of fellowship yeah we're 04:08 gonna furnish you 04:11 guys 04:12 so from the tweezer trailer what 04:14 intrigued you the most rings happening 04:16 or like theme form in the like the lore 04:19 like sauron basically like helps forge 04:22 the rings and so i think um they start 04:24 making like some initial rings that like 04:26 don't have much power so but yeah you're 04:28 describing it sounds like sirens in like 04:29 a ring storm 04:29 [Laughter] 04:35 for me as well like the one thing that i 04:36 spotted from the trailers was just like 04:38 how expansive of a look we're gonna get 04:40 towards like the second age it's been 04:42 not previously like very much touched 04:44 upon and so i'm very excited to see how 04:47 prime video like takes it and just 04:50 shows this whole kind of new look at 04:52 middle earth watching the trailer and 04:54 trying to work out right where are we 04:56 here the locations and the sets it's all 04:58 very exciting to just trying to theorize 05:01 what we're going to see in the series 05:02 because there's still so much 05:04 still so much we don't know 05:05 i also want to know why they were while 05:07 they were fighting who's fighting why 05:09 are they fighting literally where are we 05:11 who are they what's going on i mean it's 05:13 not going to work 05:13 [Laughter] 05:16 all right let's talk main characters 05:18 give me your theories of who you might 05:20 have seen in the teaser trailer i've 05:21 seen it a lot 05:26 that part in the trailer would come 05:28 around waterfall with the knife and like 05:30 yes i'm already obsessed i'm already 05:32 obsessed the way we've seen her in the 05:33 movies she's been very like flowy 05:36 yeah she's not doing much and this time 05:38 she's like full on because we are so far 05:41 in the past and i'm so excited to just 05:43 see this younger version of her and 05:45 there's so much who knows she wouldn't 05:47 go to school 05:52 no magic in the class i mean i want her 05:54 dagger 05:55 it looks very cool stunning and 05:57 beautiful and i might have to fight for 05:58 it she looks good 06:00 she will kill me i'm definitely excited 06:02 to see like this kind of younger and 06:03 maybe more inexperienced galadriel and 06:06 just see kind of how the like how we see 06:09 through the rings of power like how the 06:11 experiences will shape her i want to 06:12 know who's the hand was at the end yeah 06:14 that was interesting because it was a 06:16 little hand i think that was a hobbit i 06:18 am all about hobbits as you can tell 06:21 so 06:22 i wonder any theories on who the hobbit 06:23 might be if it is a 06:25 is it a is it a young smuggler maybe 06:27 like some ancestor of the baggins or 06:29 something always those baggins is 06:31 getting into trouble they should never 06:33 have left a shower 06:35 i disagree 06:36 we wouldn't have a whole thing if they 06:37 didn't leave that's true that's very 06:39 true i just love the fact that we're 06:41 touching upon the second age of middle 06:42 earth because it's really one of the 06:43 times where a lot of like the 06:46 underlying kind of plot threads of the 06:48 lord the rings comes into things and so 06:51 we get to see like uh the rings 06:53 hopefully we'll make see the rings of 06:54 power being forged we get to see sauron 06:57 potassium 06:59 in the original rings the photoshop of 07:01 the ring we saw sauer unbattling you 07:03 know the armies and it's all cut his 07:06 finger off but that was like so brief 07:07 and you don't really get to see sauron 07:09 in his pram which is what's so exciting 07:11 about this because we get to be very 07:12 like deceitful hopefully and because 07:14 during this year he does do a lot of 07:16 like corruption and manipulation we love 07:19 our origin story like gatekeep girl boss 07:23 uh 07:24 i love that we're going so far back

07:36 seeing things that are potentially gonna 07:38 make us love the hobbit films and the 07:40 lord of the rings film and potentially 07:42 the books as well so last night we had 07:45 our own little middle-earth experience 07:48 how did it feel 07:51 like it was such a good time honestly 07:53 and the venue and everything it just 07:55 looked the part it was incredible and i 07:58 think i

like all sit together and react to 08:27 that i think right now if middle earth 08:28 had like a club 08:30 that's prob that was it that gandalf and 08:32 saruman probably lean 08:34 yeah this tune is banking 08:37 i just felt like a giant kid again yeah 08:39 like if childhood me could see this 08:41 moment in my life they would be like 08:44 wow 08:45 yeah it doesn't it's great you made it 08:47

predictions of what's 10:41 going to happen in the series when 10:42 september 2nd drops 10:44 i just want to see gladriol um basically 10:47 the story of getting that dagger i'm 10:48 obsessed with a

that's where some 11:08 of the conflict might be coming yes the 11:10 fighting yeah a lot of stroking of the 11:11 ears 11:13 right i need a reason 11:15 to tell everyone watching why they 11:16 should watch the teaser trailer 11:18 galadriel 11:21 if you're a law buff like me i think it 11:23 will be really interesting to see this 11:25 kind of expansive look at middle earth 11:27 nice girls if you just have a moment to 11:30 just be a kid again and be in wondering 11:33 all just take that moment i think we all 11:35 need it 11:36 you're just gonna be transported to 11:37 another world and you just you're just 11:39 gonna forget your own for the whole time 11:40 you're gonna watch it from that teaser i 11:43 have no doubt is is gonna be epic 11:45 special thank you to my guests the 11:46 fellowship of influencers chanel joel 11:49 and kelsey thank you for joining me 11:51 let's do this together all right 11:52 lord of the rings the rings of power 11:54 drops when september 11:57 check out the teaser trailer the link is 11:59 below out on prime video when september 12:01 2nd 12:03 be there be square 12:05 or circle really yes 12:07 be there or be thrown into mount doom 12:09 okay 12:27 you I hope they paid these kids a LOT. They are probably going to wind up as eternal memes. TL:DW ... supposedly superfans ... don't even know how the rings were made in the story, likely didn't even read / listen to the books. I watched that. Talk about max cringe! And everyone talks about how important representation is... Where's the white, male, heterosexual, Christian representation on the panel? Also, what ever happened to "don't appropriate cultures" ... Oh yeah. It never meant anything beyond "this is a useful tool, we'll employ it to destroy and when it's not good for that anymore, we'll toss it in the trash." ETA: also, it's a magic trick. You see, "white" just means "stuff I don't like" so therefore, it doesn't have to have representation, it's "just evil." Curse on all you morons who think your race is "human." |

feel like people 00:07 will be like i can fix him 00:09 middle earth had like a club yeah this 00:11 tune is banking or stroke mystified and 00:14 starstruck wow 00:17 haven't you ever wondered 00:19 what else is out there 00:21 [Music] 00:23 there's wonders in this world 00:25 beyond our wandering 00:32 my name is mr isla and i'm so excited 00:34 because prime videos new epic fantasy 00:37 series the lord of the rings the rings 00:39 of power 00:41 just dropped with a teaser trailer and 00:42 i'm here with the fellowship of 00:44 influencers 00:45 chanel joel and kelsey how you guys 00:47 doing very excited after watching that 00:50 yeah come on very intrigued to just see 00:52 everyone else's thoughts and just gather 00:54 what we all think that's what we're here 00:55 for that's what we're here for all right 00:56 three words to describe the rings of 00:58 power teaser trailer go okay 01:00 breathtaking i literally didn't breathe 01:03 uh exhilarating and intriguing i didn't 01:06 notice that you weren't breathing yeah i 01:07 was gonna call the first day it was like 01:10 i was trying but every time i was like 01:12 okay take a breath something new would 01:14 happen and it was like 01:15 actually like and i was like you can 01:17 fall off your chair 01:20 oh um i would say like expansive because 01:22 we're getting this like whole new look 01:24 into the second age on screen and it's 01:26 gonna be so amazing i also wanna say 01:30 representative because we're getting 01:32 like more diversity within this series 01:34 like we're seeing our face black elf 01:35 we're seeing the first female dwarf and 01:37 i'm very looking forward to like looking 01:39 at that and then i guess like intriguing 01:42 because obviously this period of history 01:45 within the middle earth is very 01:48 rife with notions of the plot of like 01:50 the hobbit and all of the rings and 01:52 seeing how the rings of power are being 01:54 forged definitely more than three words 01:56 i love it thank you i'm an overexplainer 01:59 i love it i love it i love it i would 02:00 say 02:01 awestruck mystified and starstruck wow 02:05 very strong but that is like the word 02:07 for the next teaser yeah just like 02:09 popping up yeah with your name 02:11 [Laughter] 02:13 so in the teaser trailer and obviously 02:14 there's a lot of stuff that you've 02:15 probably read about it we're introduced 02:17 to the first black elf 02:19 we're introduced to the first female 02:21 dwarf now diversity especially on screen 02:24 as an actor means a lot to me because 02:26 growing up i hardly had that you know 02:28 watching tv and watching a lot of films 02:30 and stuff never saw people of my color 02:32 so it's exciting to see that you know 02:34 diversity is being explored in the rings 02:36 of power 02:37 what are your thoughts on the casting 02:38 decisions um i'm very excited for it 02:40 because tolkien's work was always about 02:42 being inclusive i mean we see it through 02:43 the fellowship like a bunch of people 02:45 from different backgrounds coming 02:46 together in order to face a common enemy 02:49 being sauron and just seeing the cast 02:52 and decisions it's really really 02:53 exciting to see it's just gonna mean so 02:55 much to like me personally because it's 02:57 getting that representation in midlift 02:59 young kids are gonna see that on screen 03:01 and it's just gonna be really nice for 03:03 them to be like oh hey there's someone 03:04 that looks just like me at being like an 03:06 elf and a dwarf and yeah it just fills 03:09 me with a lot of hope for like the 03:10 future of the rings of power and seeing 03:12 like much more diversity being included 03:14 as well it's gonna be inspiring right 03:15 for the next generation definitely what 03:16 about you in the original film series 03:19 which i absolutely adored but there are 03:21 not many women in it and the three women 03:24 who are in it never speak to one another 03:26 i don't really 03:28 so it will be so cool to be able to see 03:31 more female representation to maybe see 03:34 them actually interact with one another 03:36 very excited to see it how about you 03:38 girls it just makes me so excited for 03:40 the next generation because like as you 03:43 said like growing up like i was still 03:44 excited about being 03:46 um an elf or a hobbit and joining in 03:49 with it even though i wasn't represented 03:51 like either like my disability or my 03:53 queerness wasn't represented but just 03:54 makes me so happy makes my heart warm 03:56 like going to be seeing younger people 03:58 just the truth the rings of power is the 04:00 reason why the four of us are sitting 04:01 here today 04:02 and it's like we would we probably 04:03 wouldn't have if the series wasn't being 04:05 made like you said it really is a true 04:06 like meaning of fellowship yeah we're 04:08 gonna furnish you 04:11 guys 04:12 so from the tweezer trailer what 04:14 intrigued you the most rings happening 04:16 or like theme form in the like the lore 04:19 like sauron basically like helps forge 04:22 the rings and so i think um they start 04:24 making like some initial rings that like 04:26 don't have much power so but yeah you're 04:28 describing it sounds like sirens in like 04:29 a ring storm 04:29 [Laughter] 04:35 for me as well like the one thing that i 04:36 spotted from the trailers was just like 04:38 how expansive of a look we're gonna get 04:40 towards like the second age it's been 04:42 not previously like very much touched 04:44 upon and so i'm very excited to see how 04:47 prime video like takes it and just 04:50 shows this whole kind of new look at 04:52 middle earth watching the trailer and 04:54 trying to work out right where are we 04:56 here the locations and the sets it's all 04:58 very exciting to just trying to theorize 05:01 what we're going to see in the series 05:02 because there's still so much 05:04 still so much we don't know 05:05 i also want to know why they were while 05:07 they were fighting who's fighting why 05:09 are they fighting literally where are we 05:11 who are they what's going on i mean it's 05:13 not going to work 05:13 [Laughter] 05:16 all right let's talk main characters 05:18 give me your theories of who you might 05:20 have seen in the teaser trailer i've 05:21 seen it a lot 05:26 that part in the trailer would come 05:28 around waterfall with the knife and like 05:30 yes i'm already obsessed i'm already 05:32 obsessed the way we've seen her in the 05:33 movies she's been very like flowy 05:36 yeah she's not doing much and this time 05:38 she's like full on because we are so far 05:41 in the past and i'm so excited to just 05:43 see this younger version of her and 05:45 there's so much who knows she wouldn't 05:47 go to school 05:52 no magic in the class i mean i want her 05:54 dagger 05:55 it looks very cool stunning and 05:57 beautiful and i might have to fight for 05:58 it she looks good 06:00 she will kill me i'm definitely excited 06:02 to see like this kind of younger and 06:03 maybe more inexperienced galadriel and 06:06 just see kind of how the like how we see 06:09 through the rings of power like how the 06:11 experiences will shape her i want to 06:12 know who's the hand was at the end yeah 06:14 that was interesting because it was a 06:16 little hand i think that was a hobbit i 06:18 am all about hobbits as you can tell 06:21 so 06:22 i wonder any theories on who the hobbit 06:23 might be if it is a 06:25 is it a is it a young smuggler maybe 06:27 like some ancestor of the baggins or 06:29 something always those baggins is 06:31 getting into trouble they should never 06:33 have left a shower 06:35 i disagree 06:36 we wouldn't have a whole thing if they 06:37 didn't leave that's true that's very 06:39 true i just love the fact that we're 06:41 touching upon the second age of middle 06:42 earth because it's really one of the 06:43 times where a lot of like the 06:46 underlying kind of plot threads of the 06:48 lord the rings comes into things and so 06:51 we get to see like uh the rings 06:53 hopefully we'll make see the rings of 06:54 power being forged we get to see sauron 06:57 potassium 06:59 in the original rings the photoshop of 07:01 the ring we saw sauer unbattling you 07:03 know the armies and it's all cut his 07:06 finger off but that was like so brief 07:07 and you don't really get to see sauron 07:09 in his pram which is what's so exciting 07:11 about this because we get to be very 07:12 like deceitful hopefully and because 07:14 during this year he does do a lot of 07:16 like corruption and manipulation we love 07:19 our origin story like gatekeep girl boss 07:23 uh 07:24 i love that we're going so far back 07:26 especially i think there's something 07:28 very cool with prequels in the way that 07:31 they can make you 07:32 love the things you already love even 07:34 more so the fact that we're gonna be 07:36 seeing things that are potentially gonna 07:38 make us love the hobbit films and the 07:40 lord of the rings film and potentially 07:42 the books as well so last night we had 07:45 our own little middle-earth experience 07:48 how did it feel 07:51 like it was such a good time honestly 07:53 and the venue and everything it just 07:55 looked the part it was incredible and i 07:58 think i was so happy to get to share it 07:59 with you guys like 08:01 our own little fellowship 08:04 but it was amazing like i felt like i 08:06 really got to like step into another 08:07 world and then kelsey and i for like 08:09 most of the evening were just like 08:10 dancing like hobbits 08:11 in like our little boys you had your 08:13 blankets around like 08:15 you're just like spinning around i can't 08:16 say that the moves are incredible but 08:18 the enthusiasm is certainly there it was 08:20 it was very fun and it was just nice to 08:22 like get to like be with everyone and 08:25 then like all sit together and react to 08:27 that i think right now if middle earth 08:28 had like a club 08:30 that's prob that was it that gandalf and 08:32 saruman probably lean 08:34 yeah this tune is banking 08:37 i just felt like a giant kid again yeah 08:39 like if childhood me could see this 08:41 moment in my life they would be like 08:44 wow 08:45 yeah it doesn't it's great you made it 08:47 to middle earth 08:48 like walking through the fire ring it 08:50 was so cool and the cocktails were very 08:52 nice while we were waiting for like the 08:54 trailer to play um the music was also 08:56 playing it was very much looking like 08:58 new york fashion 09:00 yeah and it's the music that was playing 09:02 we were like oh we're going to get a 09:03 fashion show i remember putting out my 09:05 phone i was like it's radio lords of the 09:06 rings 09:09 it's about to get like mordor going down 09:11 to hobbiton 09:12 i know you guys are selfie holics right 09:15 what was the best picture you took of 09:16 the night 09:17 my favorite picture i got was actually a 09:19 picture you tried to take outside 09:35 that's the vibe i want to bring to 09:37 everybody 09:38 yeah of course i know i'm a mystical 09:40 like unknown creature like sauron's 09:42 daughter or something yeah yeah 09:44 all right i want to hear your fan 09:46 theories i feel like we're going to see 09:49 some early ruminations of like the rings 09:52 of power being forged because during the 09:55 second age this is where like sauron 09:56 comes in and he's like yo i'm gonna 09:59 yo yo i'm gonna make a ring 10:03 i'm right now 10:03 try to make some rings feel like there 10:05 needs to be a reason for the rings to be 10:07 made right so obviously with the wars 10:08 happening and then like oh 10:11 what was the reason 10:14 sauron wanted to correct people corrupt 10:17 and control and plus if we had that all 10:19 like straight away we need season two 10:22 multiple seasons you know do you think 10:24 we're going to see another side of 10:25 sauron yes like maybe he falls in love 10:28 maybe there's a reason every villain is 10:30 a hero in his own story 10:35 [Laughter] 10:40 do you have any predictions of what's 10:41 going to happen in the series when 10:42 september 2nd drops 10:44 i just want to see gladriol um basically 10:47 the story of getting that dagger i'm 10:48 obsessed with a dagger too i feel like 10:49 there's going to be a bit of romance 10:50 there's always romance amongst the elves 10:52 and it's like you can't be with him wow 10:54 why not he's my sister 10:56 always i saw there's like a human and an 10:59 elf in like a forbidden romance kind of 11:01 thing and like during this period like 11:04 humans and elves weren't really getting 11:06 along and so i think that's where some 11:08 of the conflict might be coming yes the 11:10 fighting yeah a lot of stroking of the 11:11 ears 11:13 right i need a reason 11:15 to tell everyone watching why they 11:16 should watch the teaser trailer 11:18 galadriel 11:21 if you're a law buff like me i think it 11:23 will be really interesting to see this 11:25 kind of expansive look at middle earth 11:27 nice girls if you just have a moment to 11:30 just be a kid again and be in wondering 11:33 all just take that moment i think we all 11:35 need it 11:36 you're just gonna be transported to 11:37 another world and you just you're just 11:39 gonna forget your own for the whole time 11:40 you're gonna watch it from that teaser i 11:43 have no doubt is is gonna be epic 11:45 special thank you to my guests the 11:46 fellowship of influencers chanel joel 11:49 and kelsey thank you for joining me 11:51 let's do this together all right 11:52 lord of the rings the rings of power 11:54 drops when september 11:57 check out the teaser trailer the link is 11:59 below out on prime video when september 12:01 2nd 12:03 be there be square 12:05 or circle really yes 12:07 be there or be thrown into mount doom 12:09 okay 12:27 you I hope they paid these kids a LOT. They are probably going to wind up as eternal memes. TL:DW ... supposedly superfans ... don't even know how the rings were made in the story, likely didn't even read / listen to the books. That is the worst like/dislike ratio I can recall ever seeing on YouTube. Santa Inc was pretty bad. Santa Inc Trailer Gets DESTOYED By The Internet It's not even on the HBO Max channel anymore. Wonder if they delisted or deleted it. |

Quoted: Jackson got it wrong before the current infestation of racism and whinerism in hollywood ... amazon won't do better. All the signals I have seen point at them utterly defiling the story, wondering why people who really like the story aren't happy and whining about t he evil *ists who don't agree with destroying everything good about the story. Amazon already hired people to handle on-set sex scenes, they picked the part of the silmarilliion that is one of the darkest in the setting, and the book is think on details. All indicators are that they're going to turn it into a hyper-intersectionalist shove the disgusting in your face perv-gore fest. Because everything has to be that and clearly that's what tolkein's books were all about. View Quote This round of diversity is laughable and I won't be watching. What Peter Jackson did was brought the books to a broader and younger audience, and while he took some creative liberties, the good triumphing over evil was the main storyline, not the color of the skin.. |

04:56 here the locations and the sets it's all 04:58 very exciting to just trying to theorize 05:01 what we're going to see in the series 05:02 because there's still so much 05:04 still so much we don't know 05:05 i also want to know why they were while 05:07 they were fighting who's fighting why 05:09 are they fighting literally where are we 05:11 who are they what's going on i mean it's 05:13 not going to work 05:13 [Laughter] 05:16 all right let's talk main characters 05:18 give me your theories of who you might 05:20 have seen in the teaser trailer i've 05:21 seen it a lot 05:26 that part in the trailer would come 05:28 around waterfall with the knife and like 05:30 yes i'm already obsessed i'm already 05:32 obsessed the way we've seen her in the 05:33 movies she's been very like flowy 05:36 yeah she's not doing much and this time 05:38 she's like full on because we are so far 05:41 in the past and i'm so excited to just 05:43 see this younger version of her and 05:45 there's so much who knows she wouldn't 05:47 go to school 05:52 no magic in the class i mean i want her 05:54 dagger 05:55 it looks very cool stunning and 05:57 beautiful and i might have to fight for 05:58 it she looks good 06:00 she will kill me i'm definitely excited 06:02 to see like this kind of younger and 06:03 maybe more inexperienced galadriel and 06:06 just see kind of how the like how we see 06:09 through the rings of power like how the 06:11 experiences will shape her i want to 06:12 know who's the hand was at the end yeah 06:14 that was interesting because it was a 06:16 little hand i think that was a hobbit i 06:18 am all about hobbits as you can tell 06:21 so 06:22 i wonder any theories on who the hobbit 06:23 might be if it is a 06:25 is it a is it a young smuggler maybe 06:27 like some ancestor of the baggins or 06:29 something always those baggins is 06:31 getting into trouble they should never 06:33 have left a shower 06:35 i disagree 06:36 we wouldn't have a whole thing if they 06:37 didn't leave that's true that's very 06:39 true i just love the fact that we're 06:41 touching upon the second age of middle 06:42 earth because it's really one of the 06:43 times where a lot of like the 06:46 underlying kind of plot threads of the 06:48 lord the rings comes into things and so 06:51 we get to see like uh the rings 06:53 hopefully we'll make see the rings of 06:54 power being forged we get to see sauron 06:57 potassium 06:59 in the original rings the photoshop of 07:01 the ring we saw sauer unbattling you 07:03 know the armies and it's all cut his 07:06 finger off but that was like so brief 07:07 and you don't really get to see sauron 07:09 in his pram which is what's so exciting 07:11 about this because we get to be very 07:12 like deceitful hopefully and because 07:14 during this year he does do a lot of 07:16 like corruption and manipulation we love 07:19 our origin story like gatekeep girl boss 07:23 uh 07:24 i love that we're going so far back 07:26 especially i think there's something 07:28 very cool with prequels in the way that 07:31 they can make you 07:32 love the things you already love even 07:34 more so the fact that we're gonna be 07:36 seeing things that are potentially gonna 07:38 make us love the hobbit films and the 07:40 lord of the rings film and potentially 07:42 the books as well so last night we had 07:45 our own little middle-earth experience 07:48 how did it feel 07:51 like it was such a good time honestly 07:53 and the venue and everything it just 07:55 looked the part it was incredible and i 07:58 think i was so happy to get to share it 07:59 with you guys like 08:01 our own little fellowship 08:04 but it was amazing like i felt like i 08:06 really got to like step into another 08:07 world and then kelsey and i for like 08:09 most of the evening were just like 08:10 dancing like hobbits 08:11 in like our little boys you had your 08:13 blankets around like 08:15 you're just like spinning around i can't 08:16 say that the moves are incredible but 08:18 the enthusiasm is certainly there it was 08:20 it was very fun and it was just nice to 08:22 like get to like be with everyone and 08:25 then like all sit together and react to 08:27 that i think right now if middle earth 08:28 had like a club 08:30 that's prob that was it that gandalf and 08:32 saruman probably lean 08:34 yeah this tune is banking 08:37 i just felt like a giant kid again yeah 08:39 like if childhood me could see this 08:41 moment in my life they would be like 08:44 wow 08:45 yeah it doesn't it's great you made it 08:47 to middle earth 08:48 like walking through the fire ring it 08:50 was so cool and the cocktails were very 08:52 nice while we were waiting for like the 08:54 trailer to play um the music was also 08:56 playing it was very much looking like 08:58 new york fashion 09:00 yeah and it's the music that was playing 09:02 we were like oh we're going to get a 09:03 fashion show i remember putting out my 09:05 phone i was like it's radio lords of the 09:06 rings 09:09 it's about to get like mordor going down 09:11 to hobbiton 09:12 i know you guys are selfie holics right 09:15 what was the best picture you took of 09:16 the night 09:17 my favorite picture i got was actually a 09:19 picture you tried to take outside 09:35 that's the vibe i want to bring to 09:37 everybody 09:38 yeah of course i know i'm a mystical 09:40 like unknown creature like sauron's 09:42 daughter or something yeah yeah 09:44 all right i want to hear your fan 09:46 theories i feel like we're going to see 09:49 some early ruminations of like the rings 09:52 of power being forged because during the 09:55 second age this is where like sauron 09:56 comes in and he's like yo i'm gonna 09:59 yo yo i'm gonna make a ring 10:03 i'm right now 10:03 try to make some rings feel like there 10:05 needs to be a reason for the rings to be 10:07 made right so obviously with the wars 10:08 happening and then like oh 10:11 what was the reason 10:14 sauron wanted to correct people corrupt 10:17 and control and plus if we had that all 10:19 like straight away we need season two 10:22 multiple seasons you know do you think 10:24 we're going to see another side of 10:25 sauron yes like maybe he falls in love 10:28 maybe there's a reason every villain is 10:30 a hero in his own story 10:35 [Laughter] 10:40 do you have any predictions of what's 10:41 going to happen in the series when 10:42 september 2nd drops 10:44 i just want to see gladriol um basically 10:47 the story of getting that dagger i'm 10:48 obsessed with a dagger too i feel like 10:49 there's going to be a bit of romance 10:50 there's always romance amongst the elves 10:52 and it's like you can't be with him wow 10:54 why not he's my sister 10:56 always i saw there's like a human and an 10:59 elf in like a forbidden romance kind of 11:01 thing and like during this period like 11:04 humans and elves weren't really getting 11:06 along and so i think that's where some 11:08 of the conflict might be coming yes the 11:10 fighting yeah a lot of stroking of the 11:11 ears 11:13 right i need a reason 11:15 to tell everyone watching why they 11:16 should watch the teaser trailer 11:18 galadriel 11:21 if you're a law buff like me i think it 11:23 will be really interesting to see this 11:25 kind of expansive look at middle earth 11:27 nice girls if you just have a moment to 11:30 just be a kid again and be in wondering 11:33 all just take that moment i think we all 11:35 need it 11:36 you're just gonna be transported to 11:37 another world and you just you're just 11:39 gonna forget your own for the whole time 11:40 you're gonna watch it from that teaser i 11:43 have no doubt is is gonna be epic 11:45 special thank you to my guests the 11:46 fellowship of influencers chanel joel 11:49 and kelsey thank you for joining me 11:51 let's do this together all right 11:52 lord of the rings the rings of power 11:54 drops when september 11:57 check out the teaser trailer the link is 11:59 below out on prime video when september 12:01 2nd 12:03 be there be square 12:05 or circle really yes 12:07 be there or be thrown into mount doom 12:09 okay 12:27 you I hope they paid these kids a LOT. They are probably going to wind up as eternal memes. TL:DW ... supposedly superfans ... don't even know how the rings were made in the story, likely didn't even read / listen to the books. That is the worst like/dislike ratio I can recall ever seeing on YouTube. Santa Inc was pretty bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og7BzSGHR7I It's not even on the HBO Max channel anymore. Wonder if they delisted or deleted it. That’s bad, but the Rings of Power one was more than twice as bad (1:69 vs 1:31). |

Click To View Spoiler 00:00 every time i was like okay take a breath 00:02 something new would happen and it was 00:03 like 00:04 it's made worse it's never peace right 00:05 if like sauron is hot i feel like people 00:07 will be like i can fix him 00:09 middle earth had like a club yeah this 00:11 tune is banking or stroke mystified and 00:14 starstruck wow 00:17 haven't you ever wondered 00:19 what else is out there 00:21 [Music] 00:23 there's wonders in this world 00:25 beyond our wandering 00:32 my name is mr isla and i'm so excited 00:34 because prime videos new epic fantasy 00:37 series the lord of the rings the rings 00:39 of power 00:41 just dropped with a teaser trailer and 00:42 i'm here with the fellowship of 00:44 influencers 00:45 chanel joel and kelsey how you guys 00:47 doing very excited after watching that 00:50 yeah come on very intrigued to just see 00:52 everyone else's thoughts and just gather 00:54 what we all think that's what we're here 00:55 for that's what we're here for all right 00:56 three words to describe the rings of 00:58 power teaser trailer go okay 01:00 breathtaking i literally didn't breathe 01:03 uh exhilarating and intriguing i didn't 01:06 notice that you weren't breathing yeah i 01:07 was gonna call the first day it was like 01:10 i was trying but every time i was like 01:12 okay take a breath something new would 01:14 happen and it was like 01:15 actually like and i was like you can 01:17 fall off your chair 01:20 oh um i would say like expansive because 01:22 we're getting this like whole new look 01:24 into the second age on screen and it's 01:26 gonna be so amazing i also wanna say 01:30 representative because we're getting 01:32 like more diversity within this series 01:34 like we're seeing our face black elf 01:35 we're seeing the first female dwarf and 01:37 i'm very looking forward to like looking 01:39 at that and then i guess like intriguing 01:42 because obviously this period of history 01:45 within the middle earth is very 01:48 rife with notions of the plot of like 01:50 the hobbit and all of the rings and 01:52 seeing how the rings of power are being 01:54 forged definitely more than three words 01:56 i love it thank you i'm an overexplainer 01:59 i love it i love it i love it i would 02:00 say 02:01 awestruck mystified and starstruck wow 02:05 very strong but that is like the word 02:07 for the next teaser yeah just like 02:09 popping up yeah with your name 02:11 [Laughter] 02:13 so in the teaser trailer and obviously 02:14 there's a lot of stuff that you've 02:15 probably read about it we're introduced 02:17 to the first black elf 02:19 we're introduced to the first female 02:21 dwarf now diversity especially on screen 02:24 as an actor means a lot to me because 02:26 growing up i hardly had that you know 02:28 watching tv and watching a lot of films 02:30 and stuff never saw people of my color 02:32 so it's exciting to see that you know 02:34 diversity is being explored in the rings 02:36 of power 02:37 what are your thoughts on the casting 02:38 decisions um i'm very excited for it 02:40 because tolkien's work was always about 02:42 being inclusive i mean we see it through 02:43 the fellowship like a bunch of people 02:45 from different backgrounds coming 02:46 together in order to face a common enemy 02:49 being sauron and just seeing the cast 02:52 and decisions it's really really 02:53 exciting to see it's just gonna mean so 02:55 much to like me personally because it's 02:57 getting that representation in midlift 02:59 young kids are gonna see that on screen 03:01 and it's just gonna be really nice for 03:03 them to be like oh hey there's someone 03:04 that looks just like me at being like an 03:06 elf and a dwarf and yeah it just fills 03:09 me with a lot of hope for like the 03:10 future of the rings of power and seeing 03:12 like much more diversity being included 03:14 as well it's gonna be inspiring right 03:15 for the next generation definitely what 03:16 about you in the original film series 03:19 which i absolutely adored but there are 03:21 not many women in it and the three women 03:24 who are in it never speak to one another 03:26 i don't really 03:28 so it will be so cool to be able to see 03:31 more female representation to maybe see 03:34 them actually interact with one another 03:36 very excited to see it how about you 03:38 girls it just makes me so excited for 03:40 the next generation because like as you 03:43 said like growing up like i was still 03:44 excited about being 03:46 um an elf or a hobbit and joining in 03:49 with it even though i wasn't represented 03:51 like either like my disability or my 03:53 queerness wasn't represented but just 03:54 makes me so happy makes my heart warm 03:56 like going to be seeing younger people 03:58 just the truth the rings of power is the 04:00 reason why the four of us are sitting 04:01 here today 04:02 and it's like we would we probably 04:03 wouldn't have if the series wasn't being 04:05 made like you said it really is a true 04:06 like meaning of fellowship yeah we're 04:08 gonna furnish you 04:11 guys 04:12 so from the tweezer trailer what 04:14 intrigued you the most rings happening 04:16 or like theme form in the like the lore 04:19 like sauron basically like helps forge 04:22 the rings and so i think um they start 04:24 making like some initial rings that like 04:26 don't have much power so but yeah you're 04:28 describing it sounds like sirens in like 04:29 a ring storm 04:29 [Laughter] 04:35 for me as well like the one thing that i 04:36 spotted from the trailers was just like 04:38 how expansive of a look we're gonna get 04:40 towards like the second age it's been 04:42 not previously like very much touched 04:44 upon and so i'm very excited to see how 04:47 prime video like takes it and just 04:50 shows this whole kind of new look at 04:52 middle earth watching the trailer and 04:54 trying to work out right where are we 04:56 here the locations and the sets it's all 04:58 very exciting to just trying to theorize 05:01 what we're going to see in the series 05:02 because there's still so much 05:04 still so much we don't know 05:05 i also want to know why they were while 05:07 they were fighting who's fighting why 05:09 are they fighting literally where are we 05:11 who are they what's going on i mean it's 05:13 not going to work 05:13 [Laughter] 05:16 all right let's talk main characters 05:18 give me your theories of who you might 05:20 have seen in the teaser trailer i've 05:21 seen it a lot 05:26 that part in the trailer would come 05:28 around waterfall with the knife and like 05:30 yes i'm already obsessed i'm already 05:32 obsessed the way we've seen her in the 05:33 movies she's been very like flowy 05:36 yeah she's not doing much and this time 05:38 she's like full on because we are so far 05:41 in the past and i'm so excited to just 05:43 see this younger version of her and 05:45 there's so much who knows she wouldn't 05:47 go to school 05:52 no magic in the class i mean i want her 05:54 dagger 05:55 it looks very cool stunning and 05:57 beautiful and i might have to fight for 05:58 it she looks good 06:00 she will kill me i'm definitely excited 06:02 to see like this kind of younger and 06:03 maybe more inexperienced galadriel and 06:06 just see kind of how the like how we see 06:09 through the rings of power like how the 06:11 experiences will shape her i want to 06:12 know who's the hand was at the end yeah 06:14 that was interesting because it was a 06:16 little hand i think that was a hobbit i 06:18 am all about hobbits as you can tell 06:21 so 06:22 i wonder any theories on who the hobbit 06:23 might be if it is a 06:25 is it a is it a young smuggler maybe 06:27 like some ancestor of the baggins or 06:29 something always those baggins is 06:31 getting into trouble they should never 06:33 have left a shower 06:35 i disagree 06:36 we wouldn't have a whole thing if they 06:37 didn't leave that's true that's very 06:39 true i just love the fact that we're 06:41 touching upon the second age of middle 06:42 earth because it's really one of the 06:43 times where a lot of like the 06:46 underlying kind of plot threads of the 06:48 lord the rings comes into things and so 06:51 we get to see like uh the rings 06:53 hopefully we'll make see the rings of 06:54 power being forged we get to see sauron 06:57 potassium 06:59 in the original rings the photoshop of 07:01 the ring we saw sauer unbattling you 07:03 know the armies and it's all cut his 07:06 finger off but that was like so brief 07:07 and you don't really get to see sauron 07:09 in his pram which is what's so exciting 07:11 about this because we get to be very 07:12 like deceitful hopefully and because 07:14 during this year he does do a lot of 07:16 like corruption and manipulation we love 07:19 our origin story like gatekeep girl boss 07:23 uh 07:24 i love that we're going so far back 07:26 especially i think there's something 07:28 very cool with prequels in the way that 07:31 they can make you 07:32 love the things you already love even 07:34 more so the fact that we're gonna be 07:36 seeing things that are potentially gonna 07:38 make us love the hobbit films and the 07:40 lord of the rings film and potentially 07:42 the books as well so last night we had 07:45 our own little middle-earth experience 07:48 how did it feel 07:51 like it was such a good time honestly 07:53 and the venue and everything it just 07:55 looked the part it was incredible and i 07:58 think i was so happy to get to share it 07:59 with you guys like 08:01 our own little fellowship 08:04 but it was amazing like i felt like i 08:06 really got to like step into another 08:07 world and then

They are probably going to wind up as eternal memes. TL:DW ... supposedly superfans ... don't even know how the rings were made in the story, likely didn't even read / listen to the books. That is the worst like/dislike ratio I can recall ever seeing on YouTube. Santa Inc was pretty bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og7BzSGHR7I It's not even on the HBO Max channel anymore. Wonder if they delisted or deleted it. That’s bad, but the Rings of Power one was more than twice as bad (1:69 vs 1:31). I did some math and that's about what I came up with but numbers have never been my strong suit (I fix things and make them go!) so I wasn't 100%. |

Will It Look Like The Lord of the Rings? In creating this new story, McKay and Payne's goal was, in McKay's words, "different but familiar." While the series is not a precise continuation of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings, it shouldn't clash with the cinematic world fans have come to know and love. Actors like Morfydd Clark (Galadriel) and Robert Aramayo (Elrond) were cast, in part, because they could age into the older versions played respectively by Cate Blanchett and Hugo Weaving in Jackson's films. Even Benjamin Walker, who plays Gil-galad, bears a striking resemblance to Mark Ferguson, who appeared as the elven king in a nonspeaking cameo in The Fellowship of the Ring's prologue. It's worth remembering, if only for legal reasons, that this is not the exact same world. The production design, though similar, is not trying to match the Jackson films. For example, King Elendil's legendary broken sword, Narsil, which debuted on one of Prime Video's promotional posters, does not look identical to the one eventually reforged and used by Viggo Mortenson's Aragorn in The Return of the King. What, Exactly, Is the Source Material Here? So what did Amazon buy? "We have the rights solely to The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King, the appendices, and The Hobbit," Payne says. "And that is it. We do not have the rights to The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, The History of Middle-earth, or any of those other books." This Sounds Like a Lot of Made-Up Story! What of Tolkien's Can One Expect? The truth is, it's all here. "We told Amazon we wanted to do four or five stories that are the big epics of the Second Age," McKay says, starting with "the forging of the rings." What's Up With Warrior Galadriel? Is This in the Books? Except, she wasn't young at that time. But than, they'd have to care about the original sources for that to matter. $$$$$$$$$$ controls all, and in the darkness blinds them!Over the years, Tolkien adapters have had to get creative in order to include his female characters in the action. Liv Tyler's Arwen making a riverbank stand against the Nazgul in defense of Frodo and the very existence of Evangeline Lilly's warrior elf, Tauriel? All invented by Peter Jackson. But Eowyn's "but no living man am I!" showdown with the witch-king of Angmar in The Return of the King is straight out of the books and shows that Tolkien was at least somewhat interested in women who pick up swords. As does his description of Galadriel during the many thousand years of her long youth. Tolkien claimed young Galadriel could match strength with most male counterparts, and in a 1973 letter, wrote, "She was then of Amazon disposition and bound up her hair as a crown when taking part in athletic feats." This is how she got her name, Galadriel, which means "maiden crowned with gleaming hair." In The Unfinished Tales it says, "[Galadriel] looked upon the Dwarves also with the eye of a commander, seeing in them the finest warriors to pit against the Orcs." "She's full of piss and vinegar and she's got a sword that's broken because she's killed so many orcs," McKay says of their version. Okay, but Will There Be Wizards? https://archive.is/20220214215009/https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/02/10-burning-questions-about-amazons-the-rings-of-powerIn the footage that premiered in the Rings of Power Super Bowl teaser, audiences caught a glimpse of a tall, mysterious man who falls from the sky. Our immediate instinct is to wonder if he's one of the wizards even the most casual fans might have heard of. In Tolkien's text, they didn't come to Middle-earth until the Third Age, but is the show taking some added liberties with the timeline? When asked if this might be Gandalf, Radagast, or Saruman, McKay answered cautiously, "Well, I would say those are not the only beings, those names, in that class. So maybe, but maybe not. And the mystery and the journey of it is all of the fun, I would say." ---------------------------------------------------- The Rings of Power: How This Mess Happened From the linked video: i mean if only there was a book amazon had the rights to that tolkien wrote that's full of dialogue that they could use to mimic his style to make their dialogue sound like something he would have written if only so when vanity fair asks should fans be worried the answer is yes the people running this show seem to have an agenda and are just using tolkien's name to sell their original story and if you want proof you should be worried here it is quote we've been given something a stewardship pain says no you weren't given a thing you bought it amazon shelled out hundreds of millions of dollars to get the rights so they could rewrite tolkien's work into their own image that thankfully everyone's rejecting no one wants you to come in and revise tolkien's work so that it lines up with your world view we want you to read tolkien's words and give us your take on what he wrote work within the framework of what he created no one's asking you to come up with something new if that's your goal write your own fantasy story you don't need to take someone else's story and twist it into a shadow of its former cell but there's a better question why didn't you just make the lord of the rings you spent two whole articles complaining about the lack of source material but you bought the rice to an entire tome of source material you can make the lord of the rings as it was written including all the characters that jackson cut out i know it's gonna be near impossible to best peter jackson's films but you didn't even try instead you decided to use tolkien's name to show your fantasy story using aspects of the lore you don't even have the full version of you created this problem for yourself and then added to it by changing established characters and races compressing thousands of years of stories into a handful of episodes and completely ignoring how this didn't work for peter jackson do you understand i want to like your show i'm over here with my fandom like take it you must take it i'm giving it to you and you're like don't tempt me jsg i dare not take it not even to keep it safe and then you present me with this woke nonsense and i'm like i would have gone with you to the end into the very fires of mordor all you had to do was respect tolkien's work respect the lord instead all is turned to vain ambition you'd even use people like me as a cloak nearly a hundred years these stories have stood now at the whim of wakandans they'll fall because the works of tolkien were given over to lesser men but what do i know i'm just some guy View Quote |

This is the first major sci fi/fantasy series that I can say I have no desire to see. And I have a very low bar. I've seen every episode of MTV's Shannara Chronicles and fondly remember Legend of the Seeker. But this? It's just so obviously not Tolkien that it doesn't even pique my curiosity.

Quoted: There are historical accounts of sub-Saharan Africans being among the trading crews that were in the British Isles as far back as the Roman days. The Romans might not have gone that far south, but the Egyptians did and it isn't like some of them couldn't go North. It was never more than a handful, but they did exist and made it to Britain, even if just to crew ships and trade. There was even a community of blacks in England in the Tudor period. Obviously, this is a bit later than the Anglo-Saxon era, but there is a pretty good book on the subject Black Tudors by Miranda Kaufmann View Quote There are no serious historical accounts of actual sub-saharan Africans in Britain before the Norman Conquest at least. There may have been a handful that aren't attested to, but that means exactly that- they were not ever documented. In Roman terms, Africans referred exclusively to Semetic peoples along the North African coast. By the Tudor period it was possibly (and profitable) to visit west Africa by sea, and of course African slavery had become big starting with the rise of Islam (and before, in Arabia). |

Quoted: So besides there being characters that aren't white, what's the problem? View Quote The same problem as every other woke production: character development & story are not important. Diversity, inclusion, and political messages are important. The fact that the very first thing they show/tell you about the new series is the color of the skin and sex of the main characters should make anybody that wants to actually be entertained more than a little wary. It's another case where there's a huge potential market with a hunger to be satiated, but companies don't like giving people what they want. They try to shove garbage down people's throats. They aren't concerned with telling more of Tolkien's story. They want to make up their own, hence why they did not bother to acquire the rights to the rest of the lore ripe for exploitation. It's a pattern that has been made more clear each year. Take existing IPs and historical events/figures and make them less... problematic for the people who actually have a huge problem with the color of people's skin and sex. The issue there is that they are a minority and only a minor player in the consumption of content, hence why so many of these woke productions perform so atrociously in ratings and box office receipts. |

Quoted: So besides there being characters that aren’t white, what’s the problem? View Quote Not merely putting in stuff that is not in the lore, not merely putting in people for completely racist reasons, they are treading on the same path of all the other movies and shows that have been done recently that were bad in addition to being racist and (intentionally or not) destroying the IP they were based on. In overly complex terms: It's aufheben (destroying a thing while underhandedly saying you aren't). The worst of these efforts are run by people who have absorbed this way of destroying things yet who truly believe they aren't. Self-deceived deceivers. |

Quoted: So besides there being characters that aren't white, what's the problem? View Quote Edited: And your question is entirely wrong. The question should be "what's good about it?" We read Tolkien because he is a good writer. He wrote a good story. Hollywood tries this strange thing where they tell us "Hey, this is going to be good because it is Tolkien." But then they make not-Tolkien. So that takes them down to square one. Now they must persuade me that this is worth my time. They haven't done that. |
