So...if you're super familiar with the first video in this series, you may reach a point in this video where you raise an eyebrow. I claim that in the first video I mentioned an elf called Galadhorn, but I didn't. Honestly, that first video wasn't my best, so, in the next month or so, I'll be uploading a new season 1 video that gives greater details on the beginning of this imagined story. And in that video, I'll explain where Galadhorn (and a few other things) came from.

Tragically I don't think that ANY film adaptation will reach this level of storytelling EVER again. That industry long expelled the last of the talents from their cult, the remainders are ghouls and carrion eaters dismembering and devouring the last remaining great imaginary worlds still more or less intact. The Amazon Abomination will be forgotten faster than it was made. Your alternative story will live very long and will give joy and entertainment to the lovers of the lore. I have a humble suggestion. Once you finish your story, you shall take the audio from it, and EDIT it as a real audio book. The story only. You have plenty material to work on. You shall patch up with some extra audio material the holes left by the cut out explanations, self arguments and references to movie rights. The results would be EPIC, and I would PAY high for it, as I am sure many of the listeners of your stories would also.

It's easy to reflect upon a series once all has been said and done, and pick it apart with criticism. It's another thing entirely, to get ahead of it and produce a story bearing in mind the constraints that production houses use as an excuse for not being able to deliver what could've been. What Dave has done, is quite literally hand the series the world needs to the producers, so masterfully. Without criticism, without dividing the fandom, without nitpicking or leaving a trace of negativity towards anyone, be it fans or film makers. I applaud you Rainbow Dave. You've gone from being my favorite Tolkienian KZitem Channel to being my favourite KZitem Channel. Prof. Tolkien certainly would be proud of you for dawning his colours.

So I went through a binge of these videos today while I was working. I listened to them in the background while I was filing paperwork. I will say this. The biggest difference between your script and the Amazon script is that I see a genuine love and respect for the work of Tolkien. You're not changing his work just to suit your own personal needs. You work around the established lore and only add things when necessary. That in my opinion is way more respect to Tolkien than Amazon ever gave. I'd rather listen to your KZitem videos then watch ROP any day of the week. You sir have my respect.

I'm completely ok with original characters and storylines - movies, tv series and books are all very different media requiring their own pacing, but your ideas shown here are much more in line with Tolkien's style and philosophy. I understand; we're all Tolkien fans, and while many of us would love nothing more than watching a 50+ hour long, accurate to the scene (nay, to the word!) version of the show (hell, many of us would watch it in real-time! "What's happening now?" "Sam and Frodo are asleep, along the pass. They've been asleep for... 4 hours, 27 minutes, and 14 seconds! Shhhh!") ... ehh, I feel it's unlikely to happen with the Silmarillion or any Second Age storylines. So, thank you SO MUCH for bringing these ideas to life.

Ok so. This is a humble plea for one of your next video series. An adaptaion of the first age. It doesent have to be from the begining of time, but rather that of the silmarils. My setup would be: First season: starts when melkor is released from His 3 ages of inprissonment, and covers the whole slaying of the trees and flight of the noldor, up until feanors death, and then the first season ends with fingolfins host comming over the grinding ice and the race of men sturing under the first sun rise. The second season covers events up to the battle of sudden flame and fingolfin going off. The season would focus on meathros and fingon, fingolfin and also cover turgon and finarfin and their hidden city building. There is ofcourse so much to cover in thise 400 years. Then comes the first stand alone mini series, beren and luthien, ofcourse describing beren and luthien. Season three is the union of meathros and should focus heavily on him and fingon and then dive deep into the despair that takes him after they loose the battle of unnumbered tears, and the oath, that would later lead such a valiant character to commit some heavy kinslaying. Also deal with hurin and huor. The next stand alone mini show woould be of turin turambar and the fall of nargothrond or the children of hurin. The next would be of tuor and the fall of gondolin, getting in that obligatory high king of the noldor death The final an fourth season would either be thingol and the silmaril and him getting shanked if that issent fit into another season. Or go straight to dior and the silmaril and the sons of feanor attack on menegroth and the heavens, ending with earendil going to valinor and then we follow our remaing big characters as they escape the war of wrath unto middle earth, and meadhros and maglors fates and then thats it. Perfect tie in to the second age show. (There would ofc also be a very charming and depressing storyline of meadhros and maglor trying to care for elrond and elros.) And trying to do the war of warth sounds like a horrible cigi ide, so stay grounded and with our characters. When people talk about adapting the first age the most common idé is 1. Animated to depict all the crazy stuff 2. Oneoff episodes going over ex beren and luthienand other major stories inside the legendarium and not having a naritive but instead a collection of stories, which I think would greatly deminsih the absoult brethtaking beauty of the naretive and how complete and deep the silmarillion is. There are about 100 characters and they all have compleate arcs and they are all beautiful and heartbreaking. Ofcourse adapting beren and luthien without the wider backround on the war of the jewels and the sons of feanor and the oath would just be an L. This also operates of the asumption that you have an amazon style budget and all the rights (dream world) The first scen of the show could be a shot of the two trees and then it slowly zooms out into a room where feanor is gazing at them through a window (hehe heavy symbolism) while he is standing portrait with his father and half brothers (him on the right and his brothers on the left) for some painting. And then you go from there. I dont think you should try and start from the begining. 1. Ainurlindone would be real challanging to depict (especially in live action) 2. It is such a gain for a story when there is an air of mistery for the veiwer. You dont need to explain everything, instead the imagination does wonders. And the greater loore surounding it will ofc often be reffernced and explained in diolog and by compitent writers. Comming to the big time jumps. 1. They are imortal elves for the most part, they will look the same. 2. When melkor is released at the end of the first episode, all the major players are born and grown up, its like 500 years since the birth of galadriel and fingolfins youngest, so we are all good. The stroy would still span quite some time, but as you said in your first episode of this video series and as you yourself demonstrated with thise videos. If you just have a writer that is compitent and understands tolkien and the asignment, the vast timespan is not a problem. In my opinion the 1 age is tolkiens peak, god damn its good. And with someone as good and invested as you, a faithful adaptaion could be great. Anyway, this was all a bit of a tangent, what i really want to know is how you would adapt it. Pleace aquihest to my request. I know a thought out version from you would be great and would satiate my imagionation for years. Apolegies for the bad spelling this is not my first languige and im drunk at an early christmas cceleration, I just saw the video dropped and had to dropp my hearts deepest desire early so that you would hopefully see it.

I think it's a solid outline. I always imagined the first age show beginning like this: An epic prologue but told by a mother to her young son, as a story... So far in the depths of time it would already be myth to elves. The song of the Valar and the discord of Melkor, the forming of the world and the breaking of the lamps, the retreat of the Valar and the riding of Orome to find the elves and their migration to Valinor. And the imprisoning of Melkor. The child we learn is Feanor, and his saddened mother teaches him about the treachery of Melkor, and the pride of his father's House. After the title credits roll, we see an adult Feanor returning across the high seas after years of travel around Arda. Upon his return, he hears from his son Maedros of the trial of Melkor, who may be forgiven by the Valar and set free. The first season involves the political corruption of Melkor, the death of Finwe, the oath of Feanor and yes, finishing with the death of Feanor at the hands of the balrogs, knowing secretly that they will Never win their war by force, and realising in anguish his mistake. Too late, however, the host of Fingolfin arrive across the grinding ice, vowing for revenge. Season two, in my view, would concern the seven sons of Feanor, and the politics of the other Noldor and Thingol/Melian. Season 2 ends with the battle of sudden flame and the fall of Fingolfin in his duel with Morgoth. Season 3 would concern the stories of men, and the sons of Fingolfin and Finarfin. And can end with Beren and Luthien's story (several episodes). Season four can include then the kin slayings and the fall of Doriath, of Gondolin, and Nargothrond, - with Earandil searching for Valinor, and the Elwin with the Silmaril hunted to the cliffs where she throws herself to the sea and is resurrected. Two episodes for the host of the Valar and the war of Wrath. With the last episode covering the final kin slaying and the fate of the last two of Feanor's sons. It's possible. It's doable. And however it is cut for episodic television, it could be so grand and epic.

(But again you said thatt you could elaborate more, so thats probebly what you mean.) I guess the part i dont like is that its too short:) we have all this material, 4 seasons seems to little. (Fully aware that mine too was 4 seasons, but with three independat mini series for the stories of men released in between the seasons. Of this just sounded like pointless nittpkcking to you im sorry. But i really would love talking öore about it, you get so many specific sences in your head and how you would like to see them. Like for a example. I would have the first episdoe of the second season start just with a high up view over a big plane with some faint hills on the horizon. It lingers on this and we hear faint breathing. Then it cuts and the story begins, the next episode would start the exakt same way, but the breathing voice would would quitly humm a faint song in its broken indistinguishable voice. And then finaly at the end of the second episode fingon would go on his rescue mission and when he is singing defiently by thangordrim he would be answerd by that same voice and fingon would eventually reach some vantuge point were he could see maedhros dangeling from high up the mountain.

I think an animated series would be much better suited for adapting the Silmarillion, similar to Vinland Saga or Castlevania. Don't have to worry about the casting being screwed up, and the overall aesthetic would be easier to capture. You can create the perfect visual design for each character and find the perfect voice actor. The fight scenes would be better. There's just so much more potential with an animated series.

Though you take a lot of license here - very creative - I like your idea of a tribe of Bears and Men. Long ago, when I learned that Elwing had 2 brothers who were "lost" in the downfall of Doriath, I theorized that perhaps they had been taken in by Bears and became the forBears of the Beornings. It seemed natural to think that since Elwing was granted power to change her form to that of a great Swan, it didn't seem impossible for her brothers to become bears - the blood of the Maier still running so strong in them. Now I know it was supposedly Ulmo who had and used that power... but I think it is just as likely that they maintained that Maian power and just needed to be taught or prompted to use it in some way. Taken in by bears and then mating with human bear friends, their offspring would inherit mortality as the twins might have died from injury protecting their tribe. Since Elwing married Elendil - the half-elven - their offspring were eventually given the choice. So I absolutely LOVE your idea for a bear clan. I think you went off base with the palantiri in your last episode, as I don't think Sauron had one to use until they sacked Minas Ithil. He had far sight... as did many of the elves, even Elrond, so they could have simply tapped into that or sent messages through the beasts. I wouldn't get into the palantiri until they were aligned in middle earth. Cirdan doing this seems strange... but Galadriel could have. Tokein even said that the only equal to Feanor was perhaps Galadriel (so much of what she had been doing should revolve around her practicing her craft). Cirdan specialiazed in ship building... and not so much stuff like the palantiri. Anyway, I'm LOVING this so far. I agree with one of the comments I read that someone should give you a billion dollars and tell you to get started :)

I seem to be one of those rare Tolkien fans that actually quite liked the show, but I still love this series and I appreciate how much work went into it.

I agree 😊👍🏼 I enjoyed the Rings of Power as an epic fantasy series loosely based on Tolkien’s world. What Rainbow Dave has given us here is an amazing, emotional, and very evocative weaving together of the fundamental themes and plot lines of the Second Age. Superb work Dave 😍 Can’t wait for the next episode xx

Such an EPIC tale, such a powerful narrative and astounding cliffhanger! Though I've read the children of Hurin, I'm anxiously waiting for each video of your series untangling Tolkien. Thank you again and keep up that Grooviness Rainbow Dave!

You anger me, Rainbow Dave. Because, instead of just criticizing an awful series, you retell an amazing story with a passion untold. You give me hope of some day watching something so beautiful on a screen instead of just my mind, even though it must probably won't happen. And as bittersweet as that angering hope may be, I would never renounce to listening to your tales

I can imagine Elrond grinning like an absolute fool as Isildur is holding his newest child while Floi watches & starts cooing over the baby giving a sort of a pre Three Hunters moment that I'm sure their kin would have in the 4th age. Also have Floi go with Isildur & Elrond in that vanguard

ThIs story of Middle Earth and the characters you add and the stories you weave are so very enjoyable! I've always enjoyed watching your videos because your voice is filled with such passion and reverance for the works of Tolkien. So many other vids just read from a script with a nearly monotone voice. It's very apparent how much your videos mean to you and how much to wish to entertain your audience. I've only seen a few snippets of RoP which make me glad I don't have Prime. I would MUCH rather watch your series as a live action series! Having only read the first four books and watched the movies, I am learning so much about the whole history of Middle Earth! Thank you so much for your channel!🤩

Great video, but one thing is wrong concernig the lore. Arnor was, from the very beggining, the lesser kingdom of the dúnedain. Although It was the seat of the high king of the dúnedain, it began with a smaller population of both native men and dúnedain colonist. Annúminas had to be a beutiful city but, not near as great as Osgiliath, build in both shores of the Anduin, capital of a kingdom that was home to at least two large cities a thousand years before the arrival of the kings (Pelargir and Dol Amroth). Gondor was the true power house of the dúnedain realms from day one, it had the bigger population, a better geography that aloud expansion and resources and trade, that's why Gondor was the kingdom that prosper after the last alliance Even when it was attacked first and resisted alone for 4 years

I absoluty love this series. Especially how detailed it is. It's really wonderful to be told this amazing story in such a passionate way. Also it's terrific how Dave can talk 2 hours about the bild-up to the war of the last allience, without it ever bringt boring. I do have a nit-pick though (probably because I missed something): But why does no one ever use the gap of Rohan to cross the Misty Mountain? Most notably it would seem to be far more managable to direct the enormous armee of the Last Allience through a large valley then through Moria.

During the scene where Sauron is being confronted at the end of the first age, I would name drop Morgoth. Let it be known that he has been captured, and the only reason Sauron was really able to walk away and not be captured as well is because he was only his Lieutenant, and was not the ultimate cause of all of this destruction.

Wait a second. When the Elves use the Rings of Power, Sauron knows. When anyone uses ANY Ring, Sauron knows. So, during the entire Lord of the Rings, Gandalf is wearing the Elven Ring of Fire. Is he trying to distract Sauron with constant attention, or does he somehow suppress or conceal the ring he wears??!! Thanks, as always, Rainbow Dave! You're an incredible storyteller.
