The Rings of Power is NOT Tolkien's story! This trailer confirms it!
amazon has released what appears to be the final
trailer
for rings
of power
and laying all their cards on the table and none of those cards will look like anything tolkien
wrote this
trailer
shows us more of the characters and the world that amazon created in the rings
of power
and none of it still looks like what tolkien
wrote none of the characters none of the places the characters are where they shouldn't be and this
trailer
further dives into that reality it's really the novel that tolkien
never wrote because he never would have written it to quote jd payne and patrick mckay the showrunners so let's take a look at this
trailer
and talk about all the problems it's having because it doesn't look like token in fact there isn't almost nothing in this
trailer
that makes it look like what tolkien
actually wrote here are the things he focuses on focuses on rewritten galadriel rewritten tarmurial focuses on aarondeer and hal brand and diesa ti it has one line and t So, of course, the Hartfords have a three-four sentence long monologue right there.![the rings of power is not tolkien s story this trailer confirms it]()
He has Galadriel and Numenor. He has Elrond as collateral. He concentrates on Meteor Man. All these things are nothing
Tolkien
wrote. It doesn't draw a direct line between what Tolkien
wrote and what's shown in this
trailer
, so let's take a quick look because none of it, none of it, none of it shows me that they've respected his works or, to quote, have back to the books let's go back to the book let's go back to the book let's go back to the book so here's galadriel's first line in the trailer
where she talks about you know her desire for revenge my brother gave his life hunting down the enemy his task is now mine ok first of all if he's talking from finron felgun her brother who was with baron and was killed by sauron's werewolves this
is not how it would have happened her whole line about her being there to avenge his death has no basis in anything tolkien
did wrong. te uh, she was with the Million Damaya in Doriath and she didn't spend her time avenging the death of her brothers, she spent her time essentially trying to evade the doom of the valar because she participated in the slaughter of kin in aqualandi for her to be in this
role from avenger there's nothing that can be pointed back to a tolkien
path it's just not there and then we have the line stand with me like she's the one who has always led all the armies in middle earth it's again them diving into the book that tolkien
never wrote because tolkien
would never have written it, ours was not by chance knowing all that line of ours was not a chance meeting and here we have the line where she says that neither destiny nor our destiny was the work of something greater, no neither destiny nor destiny ours was the work of something greater certain that that makes it sound like gandalf when gandalf would talk about things that happen with a greater purpose that is a call to uh the will of a louvitar uh you know the god of de de arda the god of the whole universe and how he wants things to happen but his line that neither fate nor ours was the work of something greater she is running from the damnation that was spoken about her and for a long time she couldn't face it until the fellowship of the ring when frodo offers her the ring and she says you know i passed the test i'll subside and go west and keep colliding and the idea that she is the driving force of everything is not supported anywhere in tolkien
's works and in fact here we see hal brand now another new character that is not supported in tolkien
's works i wish they would have come back and given us something what to say oh look at this
here this
this
character this
point this
this
place this
meeting of characters is said directly by tolkien
there are absolutely zero events like that in this
trailer
there is nothing nothing like oh this
this
right here this
comes what tolkien
wrote or what tolkien
even said in his appendices for them to claim that they are using the appendices is a complete farce there are no appendices that talk about these characters that talk about what galadriel said that talk about hal brand or aaron dear or diesel or harford's in the second age it's their hubris it's their idea that they can write something as good as Tolkien
and they're just using Middle Earth as this
weird sketchpad to create something that's not based on what he wrote at all Tolkien
, perhaps most surprisingly, I've decided to lean into this
meteor man character who we haven't gotten confirmation of exactly who he is yet but he certainly looks like he's in a starry he's a gandalf huh radagast sour man he's one of the wizards, the blue, the brown. the white ones, uh, the wizards that were sent in the third age, not the second age, by the valar to help the peoples of middle earth fight someone, that's why they were sent, not the second age, they are created ing a world that tolkien
didn't write and they say this
guy here meteor man was there i mean it's either in a story
or it's something completely new and we'll find out in a couple of weeks but it's not there and when other people tell you that, wow, why are you upset about this
?![the rings of power is not tolkien s story this trailer confirms it]()
This
is Tolkien
, isn't it great? We are looking at Middle Earth no this
is not Tolkien
this
is not what he wrote these are characters that were not there and that should not be there there is a great story
that tolkien
told of the second age with gilgalad and with elrond and with kelebrimbor and with caliborn and with uh galadriel right and with numenoreans and with dis and aldarion and all these characters that she could have gone to but decided not to, decided to lean on the one character they thought was your princess we will make her in the warrior princess and that's what we get with galadriel and we don't just get it with collateral either we get it with tarmerial the queen regent of numenor who was not the queen regent of numenor she was the king's daughter who died and then was taken for wife bar farazan to usurp the throne was never a ruler and to pretend that she was goes against what tolkien
wrote, this
is not the character that tolkien
wrote to pretend otherwise is lying, but they do it to throughout this
trailer
. this
is a one one shot that could be by tolkien
for sure this
one shot is somehow correct without the character saying anything this
could be this
could be something uh it goes back to talk about ok here we have aaron darling a new character walking into a southern tavern and then here we have aaron darling again talking more and all these characters and galadriel apparently went to valinor and there's hal brand and a sea serpent ok i'll give them the sea serpent but this
never came back to happen this
is nothing that tolkien
wrote they pretend to make things up nothing reminds you at least with the peter jackson trailer
s true we have lines from the fellowship of the ring this
task was assigned to you and if you don't find a way that no one has characters that we have we have uh the story
we have places where the characters were together appropriately right we didn't get the fellowship of the ring with a black dwarf instead of gimli we have the community of l ring, but here we have something completely different.![the rings of power is not tolkien s story this trailer confirms it]()
They had enough to go back to where they didn't have to change things, but they decided that in their own intelligence and wisdom they would go ahead and do it because they knew better than
Tolkien
knew better than perhaps the greatest fiction author of the 20th century, they really believed it and it's shown here in this
trailer
because nothing actually happened like that in tolkien
's writings and then there are the hobbits sorry the harfoots because we can't say hobbits in the second age because those didn't exist but the harfoots got a short monologue here about how they are the best creatures in middle earth. uh let's listen to that one thing we can do better than any creature in all of middle earth we stay true to each other with our even bigger hearts on our feet oh that's so funny not only sincere but it's also a comedy here's the thing hobbits are lonely hobbits they're not exactly the ones that go out and find out what all the other creatures in middle earth are and the idea that these hobbits are migratory and go from place to place goes against how tolkien
wrote them first of all, there was no memory of the hobbits anywhere in the second age, either they didn't have to do this
, this
is nostalgia bait, it's them pushing towards what they think people want, not what tolkien
wrote, stay true to what he wrote because h as already talked to millions and millions and millions of people creating something completely new in this
trailer
trying to instill in us and say this
is the world of tol Who's a lie isn't true and uh I'm still uh you know the disappointment didn't cover it up enough they had a chance to build something great you know back in 1999 when Peter Jackson started promoting the in ring community and filming was going to start and All the hiring was going on and there was a lot of skepticism then, but he was always pointing out the truth that they were trying to stay in Tolkien
and the early trailer
s made that clear. listen to all these trailer
s when they talk about galadriel tarmurial aaron deere hal brand diesa harford's gladreal numenor elron lecturing galadriel the meteor man these hartfords speeches that have no place in middle earth they're making something up and here's the kicker i think this
could be a really interesting story
if it wasn't set in tolkien
's world they are cr eating something totally new something that has no basis in tolkien
's world other than names the interactions of these characters tarmerio and galadriel didn't happen elrond tell galadriel not fighting didn't happen harfoot talking to each other didn't happen meteor man didn't happen or isildur talking to gladreal didn't happen all these things that just didn't happen they're making it up and this
latest trailer
confirms
there's nothing here that died in the lana long time tolkien
reader like me can point and say oh tolkien
's line is draws directly to what is shown or said here in this
trailer
it's just not there and to claim otherwise is completely a lie i'm still going to watch the show i'm still going to know give you my opinion on it i'll tackle it in two ways I think one as if it's not a token and two as if it's a token and I'll probably have two completely separate reactions because if this
is something completely new. that doesn't look bad but claiming your token is a complete sham so those are my thoughts, is there anything here that is tolkien
?![the rings of power is not tolkien s story this trailer confirms it]()
Is there anything in
this
trailer
that says hey uh, did you miss this
? i dont think so but i could be wrong ok every once in a while twice here it happens but yeah let me know your comments i will reply below and like subscribe share ok i would let people know that this
It's not Tolkien
, don't. Don't let people who haven't read the silmarillion and unfinished tales or even read the appendices bring the king back, right? This
is not what tolkien
wrote so please subscribe and share and let people know there is something better than what tolkien
wrote. that's there thanks
