Sauron also takes the very fair form of Annatar in the 2nd age to charm the elves . After a period of wandering he eventually resides at Ost -in-Edil, which is the capital of Eregion, which is close to Khazad Dum (Moria), where he convinces the Gwaith - I - Mirdain (the Noldor Elven alchemists and jewel smiths and Celebrimbor to forge the rings of power.

@@illyrusemperor9278 She's an incredible actress fam. Go watch Saint Maud. You may not like the character the writers of RoP have given her, but she's killing it all the same.
No she is not knowledgeable about Tolkien's mythology. Proof : she thinks that Galadriel is older than Ulmo. Ulmo is the Vala of all of the oceans, the seas and the waters in Arda (the world) and he is nearly as powerful as Manwe (the main Vala and brother of Melkor / Morgoth). Eru Illüvatar (the one God) created all of the Ainur first before aught else was created. Some of whom then went on to become the Valar and the Maia of Arda, which is in Eă (the universe of Tolkien's mythology). Get your facts correct first before you seal clap an amateurish actor or actress.
My biggest problem with what Amazon has done is that the elves act like humans, which is not Tolkien’s world. There are many more defining charcters than just pointy ears. However, the scenes with Elrond and Durin I actually liked in this episode. They captured the essence of what is a ‘dwarf’ great with Durin, and they started to scratch the surface to Tolkien’s concept of the elven race with Elrond. (despite the short hair, which I seriously don’t understand the purpose of that) Unfortunately, Galadriel is seriously not an elf. The fight scene with the soldiers was the first time this season that I felt like Galadriel was an elf, and it only lasted a minute or so. She’s not even a good portrayal of a human; she still feels like a Karen, and like most Karens you can’t take them serious. You just have to laugh 😂
I think that is somewhat how Galadriel is described at the time. She is supposed to be brash, hyper focused, and ambitious. The writers of the series could have made her character in the series much more clever in these pursuits though. That's probably the biggest proper complaint about the show (almost every character is boring and 2 dimensional)
@@gracelessnesss obsessed with Tolkien and his legacy? Yes certainly. Many of us have been Tolkien fans for literal decades. Myself included. Seeing his works destroyed feels like a slap in the face.

As far as Middle Earth being 3 million square miles. I thought about and and figured okay, that's like 1,000 miles by 3,000 miles. Then I thought that sounds about the size of Australia. Looked it up and boom. Australia is 2.99 million square miles. Middle Earth is about the size of Australia.
I just want to say that , as someone who has read everything Tolkien has written, though it has been a while, I for one am enjoying the show for what it is. An entertaining show BASED upon his writings, not an attempt to directly translate them. I am not trying to analyze every episode based off any preconceived notions. As such, it is entertaining and I am very much enjoying it and can't wait to see more.
Doesn't really matter how many races are there in middle earth given all of them look or act like humans. Similar morale values, emotions, strength and all are victim of lazy and boring writing. Except Durin. He is fun to watch. He wants mithril. He also wants Elrond's meat and he wants it Raw.
Here is a question: Maybe the show would have been better if Amazon spent less time setting up countless interviews with the actors and more time working out a good script with a good story line instead of the sloppy mess they try to sell off as "Tolkien"? 🙄
2. Of the Most googled question: "Which character are you?" Answer: "I am Galadriel" if this question is even under the top 50000 most googled question, i srsly doubt google.
I have only one question: Why did you do that to Galadriel? You took a stunning, beautiful, gentle, wise, supportive and powerful Elfen lady, and turned her into a defiant, annoying, cold and dishonest Karen. What a waste of opportunity and potential. The whole story is boring, wrong and pointless, but the perversion of Galadriel is just sad and infuriating.
Vast majority of these questions do not related to the show. Mostly cause they relate to the actual source material which the show seems to forget exists.
Its absolutely amazing that they still think they could present it in such a way to make it look like the show is a success, while in reality its a complete trainwreck and everybody knows it.
Jeez what an idiot. It's the most popular show right now, google it and you can see. Still in denial i see lmao Y'all are so obsessed and toxic it's insane

stalin, created your comments
More like Morgoth managed to escaped the void and corrupt the song of the ainur.
@@neluconstantin7655 Low Jab.
Sauron, like Gandalf, the Eagles and all the other Maiar existed before Arda was created.
It is so weird that in 2022 there are all these people out there who are now experts in the most obscure LOTR lore and I am here for it
IKR!
When Morfydd mentioned Glorfindel 😍
✨❤️✨❤️✨
I think he is likely to appear in the show. Glorfindel's revival happens during the course of the show. It's probably why she mentioned him.
I'd rather just watch them being themselves for 8 episodes than that excuse of a TV show...
I just want to say that , as someone who has read everything Tolkien has written, though it has been a while, I for one am enjoying the show for what it is. An entertaining show BASED upon his writings, not an attempt to directly translate them. I am not trying to analyze every episode based off any preconceived notions. As such, it is entertaining and I am very much enjoying it and can't wait to see more.
@@MichaelOKC No.
@@MichaelOKC Yeah, sorry, you can't even call it "based" upon his writing...
@The Outlaw you have never touch grass in your life
@@MichaelOKC stop lying you have never touched a single book of Tolkien
0:30 "Older than Ulmo" I lost it 😂
Why she talks with closed mouth?
She actually said, "Older than THE MOON!"
*Subtitles mistake!*
@@talibhussain5357 Yes, I was referring to the subtitles
@@illyrusemperor9278 is that a British thing? 😅🤭
@@talibhussain5357 i think she's forcing that a bit too much, trying to sound super posh
I'm sure these questions weren't provided in advance and the answers already provided, yep 100%.
Gil-Galad's Benjamin Walker is quite charming, t0o bad they wrote Gil-Galad to be only less unlikeable than Galadriel.
Have you read the interviews with him aboutbteh character?
@@pyktukasplays4945 No.
@@pyktukasplays4945 no one.
Doesn't really matter how many races are there in middle earth given all of them look or act like humans.
Similar morale values, emotions, strength and all are victim of lazy and boring writing. Except Durin. He is fun to watch. He wants mithril. He also wants Elrond's meat and he wants it Raw.
If those are them most Google questions then only because Amazon deleted all the ones they did not like.
Here is a question: Maybe the show would have been better if Amazon spent less time setting up countless interviews with the actors and more time working out a good script with a good story line instead of the sloppy mess they try to sell off as "Tolkien"? 🙄
You are aware that marketing and writers are entirely different departments, yes? They can do their jobs concurrently.
How was reading the books not mandatory for the job?
Funny how Galadriel is supposed to be a very old mythical elf except she acts like a 14 year old valley girl
Spot on.
Galadriel is also supposed to be centuries older than Elrond, Gil-Galad and Celebrimbor...
You didn't watch the latest episode.
Gil-Galad actor really knows his stuff. they should of just put him on to answer the questions. everyone else looks like a boob in comparison
Guyladriel the Karen
i am so happy that part of the cast are so geeky about lotr lore. just awesome.
2. Of the Most googled question: "Which character are you?" Answer: "I am Galadriel" if this question is even under the top 50000 most googled question, i srsly doubt google.
Lol true
People who know nothing about the lord of the rings answer questions about the lord of the rings
Where is the question when the show will get good?
None of these people know about middle earth because this show has NOTHING to do with J.R.R. Tolkien.
The galadriel actor just has one expression the whole show...
My favorite answer is when they yelled "THIS IS SPARTA!!" and kicked that guy into the pit. I cheered
Cynthias come a long way since Spartacus. Good for her.
I have only one question: Why did you do that to Galadriel? You took a stunning, beautiful, gentle, wise, supportive and powerful Elfen lady, and turned her into a defiant, annoying, cold and dishonest Karen. What a waste of opportunity and potential.
The whole story is boring, wrong and pointless, but the perversion of Galadriel is just sad and infuriating.
Here is my question. “How does it feel to be eternally linked to the literary leech of this series?”
Vast majority of these questions do not related to the show. Mostly cause they relate to the actual source material which the show seems to forget exists.
The video I didn’t know I needed 😂❤
"Hobbits and Harfoots.." bruh.. I guess, using Wikipedia is too hard
Its absolutely amazing that they still think they could present it in such a way to make it look like the show is a success, while in reality its a complete trainwreck and everybody knows it.
Jeez what an idiot. It's the most popular show right now, google it and you can see. Still in denial i see lmao Y'all are so obsessed and toxic it's insane
Galadriel‘s actress looks and sounds more like an elf in this interview than she does in the actual series
Right?
I don't hate the actress but hot damnit the writers screwed up big time.
"I would agree with him" -Isildur
🤨
nope.... hopefully lets wait for peter jackson's new series
Where was the main question? “Havee yeee heearrd of Sourrrrron?”
Galadriel is not older than Ulmo wtf.
she said older then the MOON
