galadriel & halbrand | wicked game

[@psychoki11er61]

now i love the dark side more 😂

[@dutchkel]

This song made Sauron's betrayal feel ten times more heartbreaking than it did before even if I don't believe they were quite in love per se.

[@CrniWuk]

The way I see it, Galadriel betrayed him. I am rooting for Sauron.

[@avichoen40]

They made his characted a manipulator: when he offer ger to be his queen, he play on her fears and pride - not on love .

[@janedow8829]

My theory is she fell in love, he only used her to get what he wanted. She was a means to an end. It’s likely I’m seeing it all through then prism of my own experiences.

[@naika7]

Yeah they aren’t in love but the way he’s played in the series he’s in awe with her, he quite likes her. I bet he’d like her to be his queen but obviously it ain’t happening.

[@tgd1234]

So far in this movie he is just himself and what he really thinks is not entirely clear. Yes, he hides his identity and doesn't wear an "I am Sauron" t-shirt, but somehow I don't expect him to introduce himself by his real name to the people he fought and who hate him. He does not hide from Galadriel that he has done wrong things, he does not go into details and Galadriel does not ask him for details. And when she finally gets suspicious of him and asks him who he really is - she gets the truthful answer. Of course, there is a question of how much sincerity and how much manipulation in all this, but we simply don't know that at the moment. And the answer is not at all obvious. I guess (?) we can predict the ending of this story, but many different ways can lead to this finale. We really don't know if Sauron is manipulating Galadriel and anticipates some events, or maybe Galadriel's blind desire for revenge is pushing Sauron down a path he no longer wants to take? Or are both true to some extent? Anyway - "betrayal" is by far too big a word for this situation. Things may happen in the future, but for now, that's how it is.

[@harisban6742]

Morfydd & Charlie insane chemistry ❤ Nice Edit 👏

[@TraceyanneMcCartney]

Love this, the tense emotion and connection are well captured. These two have such chemistry. It's interesting as Halbrand can be so multi-faceted, guess that's a part of 'the deceiver' character. Love how the mythology blends the smith with what is the equivalent of a fallen angel, who once shone brightly. In this context, Halbrand's wistful moments with Galadriel are so poignant, honest even. She triggers the sliver of light that has all but faded from him. Both know, deep down, they have their own paths yet are connected. Love it!

[@lisacook8235]

Oh man, why did they have to make him so sexy?

[@ds1868]

Well in the books he was described as 'fair' and had a pleasing and amiable character. This way he gained the confidence of the Elven smiths especially Celebrimbor and also became the chief advisor to the King of Numenor before its downfall. I'd say the producers got the portrayal of Sauron in the Second Age in the way that Tolkien intended.

[@CrniWuk]

Well, it would have been much harder for Sauron to get the others working with him, if he looked well like what a "Dark Lord" usually looks like :D. I doubt anyone would have trusted him if he looked like the Mouth of Sauron or something like that.

[@naika7]

Exactly ! He also plays his flirty 😂

[@susiehall8923]

Huge crush on his seductive, bad boy, sexy self!!❤

[@Kris666hell]

Замечательная работа❤️ эта пара разбивает мне сердце, ну какая же дикая химия между ними🔥💔

[@CrniWuk]

Halbrand seems like a nice guy that has gone trough a lot. I hope nothing bad happens to him and he can heal middle earth!

[@natasha617]

I'm sure he'll give Frodo his finger back in the end of the story

[@AyaKira15]

For anyone who has fallen for a bad boy/toxic person (in my case, many) this resonants on a deeper level. It's incredibly hard to trust again, after all the lies, manipulation and hidden motives. Apart of you dies each time you give your heart to the wrong person. Only to have them betray you in the end.

[@sweetbitter2]

It's amazing how basically EVERY part in the video fits the song. 😭 A rollercoaster of emotions.

[@PaginGirl1]

This song with the way you edited the video is pure perfection 💚🙏

[@Muggle1983]

Beautifully made and such a Perfect song 💗

[@sasikumarv.k5136]

Halbrand was slowly building himself up to become the evil Sauron using Galadriel. But inexplicably, there is achemistry in their feelings for each other.

[@angelasieg5099]

Every girl, or grown woman, who ever loved a bad boy just melted into goo. I was definitely guilty of it in my misspent youth

[@jenbialek]

I think this is the real reason why this particular storyline has resonated so much. "We've all be there"

[@giselmaria8312]

Light always shines the brightest amongst the darkness. She was the only light he could see and his only path to it. "I ALONE CAN SEE YOUR LIGHT"

[@Esty-g5t]

He chose to remain in shadows. She can't chase

[@sunspot8]

Asdfghjkl this is perfect. Beautiful editing and it’s the perfect song for them.

[@sweetbitter2]

2:52 the “desire” part perfectly fits 🤭

[@kathryncainmadsen5850]

Tolkien believed ANY being was redeemable and that the Creator would give anyone and everyone more chances. I read this as he wanting her from the beginning but only to use. Then he felt things for her too. She would have hesitated because he was a man. But he couldn’t stop being Sauron. It’s a tragedy really. He could have come back to the light. But he didn’t. She finally saved herself.

[@VPSantiago]

This gives me chills. To all the people saying that he used her all along. If that's the case, the show creators did a poor job portraying that by giving him far too much human emotions when she wasn't even looking at him. Or for that matter, once he was in Eregion, he didn't NEED to offer to make her his queen, he could have either done more deceptions or go all the way and capture or kill her since in the book lore he at once perceived her as his greatest foe

[@mberube222]

You're right and the showrunners are right. He was not "just" using her along. They had a meeting-of-the-minds.

[@kathryncainmadsen5850]

The actor’s interviews say he was manipulating her and learning from her how to act with elves and humans, but yes, he wanted to possess her and make her his partner. Love? No. He is a sociopath.

[@TuptuśSadełko]

Explaining all that to Celeborn is going to be quite challenging.

[@krionillie9696]

XDD, well mean, in this version, He is either dead missing so eh. but yeah, if he is alive, this will be hard to explain.

[@sweetbitter2]

We don’t care about him

[@kathryncainmadsen5850]

🙃

[@kathryncainmadsen5850]

Yeah, no. I didn’t fall in love with Sauron….exactly… and yes, he can see my mind and I can see his now…but that’s just…well, that’s a side effect of …..uh…..So Babe, can we just go hide in Lothlorian now? And wait for the 3rd age?

[@kathryncainmadsen5850]

@@krionillie9696She didn’t see his body so not dead.

[@msrthaboltares9165]

Hes just like Ares in the Xena tv series. Incredibly sexy but manipulative.Good for Galadriel and for Xena in sticking to their principles.

[@jenbialek]

Yes! RIP Kevin Smith from Xena. I had a huge crush on him back in the day

She definitely was. The way she looked at him at 1:28

When she threatens him with the dagger to his throat on the raft, she looks at his lips first for a long time...and then into his eyes.

[@jackiea1461]

​@@lucasbelmonte2832 but the director of season 2 just confirmed Galadriel fell in love with Halbrand

[@Fan_Made_Videos]

Galadriel made her Mirror for a reason

[@sunnicorran9244]

I'm sorry, but seeing Galadriel & Halbrand with Wicked Game playing made me think of this line from the hunger games. "It's the things we love most that destroy us." And now I can't help but compare these two with Coriolanus Snow & Lucy Grey Baird.
