It is shocking how the some (most?) handsome, masculine actors are passable AND good looking in character as females. Like him and Cillian Murphy in Peacock. I actually feel a little bit embarassed as a woman how not feminime I look.

[@chiooda7924]

Mr. Pace created such the remarkable Elvenking of Mirkwood. He combined in his image the unmatchable characters: the huge height and extraordinary grace of movements, stern male eyebrows and tender female gaze, capriciously pursed lips with firm and haughty expression of the mouth, power and fury of a real warrior with icy composure. The Greeks had a notion - charisma - an elegance combined with the power. That's exactly what he meant. Mr. Pace is worthy to be called the Elvenking of Mirkwood.

[@the_aj_system]

Excellent description, I was thinking something similar but without putting it eloquently.

[@Schokoversum]

This is such a detailed and great description of him. Thanks

[@lazyperfectionist1]

"It's not surprising that you might have trouble saying that, because your character, Thranduil, is Sindar, and that sentence is actually Quenya, which is the Noldorian Elves language, not the Sindar Elves language." 🤯🤯🤯 🤓🤓🤓

[@lisa_vxng]

BUT as quenya is the older, more sophisticated elven-language, and isn't used in everyday conversations, some greetings and proverbs are still said/known by a lot of Elves and should be known to somebody who's an educated king ;)

[@Noesala2110]

BOOOOOM!!!!🤯🤯🤯

[@D-Dollie]

Omg I love this! Keep throwing LOTRs knowledge at me guys. Love LOTRs but I don’t know anything compared to this!!! Mind blown 🤯

[@nevermorefarm]

If only there was a Noldorian language instead of, you know, the Noldorin language? And re: another comment below, whether someone knew Quenya had nothing to do with their education. The Sindar King Elwë, better known as Elu Thingol of Doriath, forbade the use of the Quenya language anywhere inside of his kingdom after he learned of the Noldorin kinslaying of the Telerin elves. Stephen knows a lot more than the average fan, but he makes far too many mistakes for someone who ought to know that the intricacy of Professor Tolkien's works run quite deep.

[@kimaboe]

@@sudeturan2473 The ring will not, though, since it happens (most likely thousands of years) before it was made. So calling it a "The Lord of the Rings-series" is like calling the Phantom Menace a "Han Solo film"

[@QuarterLifeCrises]

@@kimaboe not really though. The series is set in the second age and the ring was made in the second age by Sauron posing as Annatar. I'd guess this would be a major plot thread in the show. So the title would be pretty apt as we see how he became the lord of the rings.

[@LaGuerre19]

How come they never talk about _The Fall_ with Lee Pace?! It's such a great movie.

[@dipperdandy]

Cause it bombed? Man I wish I could see it on the big screen though

[@robmize3777]

I’ve wondered this too! I think it’s analogous to how bud light is the better selling beer vs craft brews. Films like ‘the fall’ are beloved amongst lovers of film and cinematography, ‘movie lovers’ like a good tried and true ‘movie formula’? I’m a craft beer fan, but I occasionally drink a bud light myself, people like what they like. Just because something is a best seller doesn’t make it good, and vice versa, just because something isn’t popular doesn’t mean it’s not
