I liked that the story of Sauron was shown at the beginning, Adar's move was sudden.
Guys, three episodes of season 4 were dumped right away
Well, as for his strength, it is still worth considering that this is Sauron without a ring. Gandalf is on the same level with him, and he may well be killed by a couple dozen orcs.
This time she bought into my handsome guy again. his story is just something superbly terrible. Well, Sauron is so good, you can't get enough of it. what a manipulator, just a smart-ass monster. all the scenes with him are a thrill. I looked at Adar's face and thought, dude, do you realize who's in front of you? You realize that, don't you? Well, look how beautifully he sold himself to you.
Well, the good old fairy tale with my charm begins. only here this charm is enough for almost everyone. I'll probably stay for now. lol lol
Somehow his agitation of the Orcs looked very naive, at first I even thought that this was some kind of false Sauron that did not fit with his cunning current image..
Saruman - The old world will burn in the furnace fire! Forests will fall under the blows of an axe! A New Order Will Be Established!
Jokes are jokes, but it's cool that three episodes came out at once 👌
Well, along the way, tell us how the elves got their rings, where the kings of Gondor and Gondor itself came from.
P.S. Tom is in the director's version. Such is the fact that a movie with a literal translation of the text on the screens and a final running time of 5-6 hours would not have hit cinemas anyway). We have to cut out part of it even from the footage, not that from the original text.
I like both movies and TV series. Each of them has a +/-, and each differs from the canon in its own way. I see the spirit of Tolkien's books in the series as well as in some episodes/parts of the film. And I enjoy watching and reviewing both. And I am very annoyed by the haters in the comments. If you can't see how the ENT is being reshaped, or rather how you see it, then what are you doing here? Do you find pleasure in sadomasochism? :)
Why torture yourself and others? (although there is already a question in the spirit of Tolkien - because this is part of our Orcish nature, and we are like Melkor made/perverted us, or is it still part of human nature and is it our choice to be a troll?)
In addition, I like other additions, such as parallels with the speeches of politicians of our day (Sauron and the orcs). God, what a sweet sarcastic irony! And the stunning images of the horrors of the Dark Resurrection of the undead, which remind me of the battle of Sauron and Luthien in the First Epoch. I like the role of Kirdan and the connection with the wisdom of the Valar through craft and the art of life (I think the episode when he wanted to throw rings into the sea was related to Ulmo). And a song on the High King's quenya. For me, all this is connected with Tolkien's vision. And I am satisfied with such interpretations of the canon.
How do I understand that Poppy and Nori are female interpretations of Frodo and Sam? In any case, their actions bring a little light and humor to this gathering darkness.
Overall, I am touched and see that the new season has become more believable and more thoughtful.
When the films first came out, they were picking on me, it's just like it would have been 20 years ago, the aggressive gorenje had already gone out.
Well, Jackson had a different approach. I don't like movies, I spat on them at first and recognized only the goblin version)), but the fact is: Jackson loved the source, and did the film adaptation with great love and attention to detail.
There's a lot of shit going on in the Hobbit.
The characters are such that half of them can be swapped, and nothing will change.
There are a lot of moments that just knock out the narrative with their strangeness. For example, the prince of the dwarves works in a mine and gets calluses, although in the first season he could swing a pickaxe for hours without any effect. Why does the prince's wife go shopping and save on dill, even though they are still rich and still dine in the royal dining room.
But they still did work on the errors. The series has become much better. In fact, they did what needed to be done in the first season. They can almost be said to have returned to the first season, all the characters were placed in the places where they were, only they made them more correct.
We look further.
I've only read the Hobbit from books so far, watched both the Jackson trilogy and the second trilogy on the Hobbit, well, the first season of this series + a bunch of games. But I missed the most important thing - I didn't read the Silmarillion and the Lord of the Rings. As a result, it is not very clear to me what the trick of the rings is. That is, according to the Jackson trilogy, it is clear that they give some kind of power, and at the same time subordinate to the will of the bearer of the main ring. Plus, the main thing also makes you invisible to everyone, but instantly highlights for Sauron. But what kind of powers do they give? Why did the tree bloom again? Like, visualization - they wanted this, and it happened? Or does it only work for a specific tree?How are they going to use these rings and what can they do with them, other than become puppets?
I've been reading VK, but it's been a long time.
And what a right decision, in my opinion, to tell in the format of the series about the rest of the rings. It's always been a little confusing that we read/watch the Lord of the Rings, but the story there revolves only around one ring. Now, for me, everything loops beautifully with the main trilogy.
It's even kind of awkward to comment on the beginning of Sauron's speech.
Adar's actor has been changed, it's a pity, the new one is not dragging at all yet.
Kirdan is such a sexy grandfather, as from the TV-2 advertisement, "we need to share megabytes"!
No, the Asian dragon is not funny. .. "rice geniuses" are better 🤣
"whites are just whites" - let's call white Americans "corn brothers", it sounds fine too 😉
"Let's all be white-assed now "#34;. Or more simply - roly-poly"?)" - Why not, because "white" for hundreds of years, they have built a civilized world and are not particularly complex because of nicknames. The simplest example: 1. China: laowai (disparaging shade), laomaozi (hairy), guizi (devils) 2. Japan: gaijin (contemptuous shade).
It is precisely this attitude that prevails in the domestic public - it does not surprise me. Sad, but expected.
Only I have a simple (for you it will definitely not be difficult) request to find something from the list below in Tolkien's works. Thank you in advance, Edward 😇
The Negroid race, according to Soviet and modern Russian anthropology, is distinguished by the following anthropological features:
1. dark skin (most pigmented in comparison with other races, including Australoid and Melanesian);
2. Curly black hair;
3. the dark color of the iris of the eyes;
4. poor development of the tertiary hairline, especially on the body;
5. dolichocranic high-arched skull shape with a pronounced occipital region, in general, the size of the skull in Negroids is less than in Caucasians and Mongoloids;
6. short face, small cheekbones;
7. medium-high forehead with poorly developed brow ridges;
8. prognathism, suggesting protruding jaws, the lower jaw is devoid of a chin protrusion;
9. Wide eye slit;
10. wide flat slightly protruding nose;
11. thick lips, the upper lip protrudes forward (protruding);
12. large teeth;
13. dolichomorphic (elongated) physique;
14. Narrow hands and feet.
The elf rings were finally distributed to the real owners, but the way they were distributed was funny.
I wonder if, apart from one dwarf king, the other 6 will be shown? And people will be discovered? I wish the wizard King wasn't some kind of nouname)
Visual and music are still 10 out of 10.
The dialogues are still lame.
But look!)
and it's a pity that this is not the Adar of the first season, he was so sticky, I stopped breathing in scenes with him.
And the elves? For a second, I thought that the king was going to spit savorily at the name of Sauron. And those fingers of his, all in gold, were just rukal. as if these servants dressed up as gentlemen, put on wigs and smeared faces, absolutely no dignity and grace.
The last scene, where Sauron returns to the forges of Celebrimbor again, is so ah! and full of doom, goosebumps ran already. The actor of Sauron plays well with his eyes.
The coolest elf king for me is Thranduil, and Gil-Galad has sausage fingers, although it's indecent to say so, but that's exactly what it looked like in the frame
- Yes, but don't copy it exactly so that they don't burn it down.
- OK
* They continue to copy scenes from the Jackson trilogy *
Мне страшно.
