Okay, for folks wanting a translation: The King is basically saying Harry has ruined his reputation with the people who matter (Other Nobles) because he's known to go partying around and being this irresponsible playboy buffoon who gets drunk with the common filth and has never shown any Kingly qualities. His father is saying that when he was Harry's age, he didn't go out much at all which let people know he was always hard at work on something which gave him respect and a sort of mystique about him. And when he DID go out he was always super humble and he never dressed himself up so people saw him as not some proud man who thought himself better than others. He's pissed Harry has not only disgraced himself but also damaged the reputation of the Royal Family as a whole. Harry gives him this half-hearted "Fine, I'll do better. Whatever." response and the King gives him a good smack for his fratboy attitude.

I think the Hal’s response is loaded. In light of his first soliloquy, the prince is putting on a show; he lever lost himself to being with. While he imitates the sun, which shines down upon everyone, the king is like a comet, something wondrous but short lived. I would rather have the sun as king because it is everlasting. It’s also historically always been a symbol for the good.

[@ninninin656]

I agree, it breaks my heart to think someone would only watch such a great adaptation to drool over "Loki", given the fact that Tom is classically trained and Shakespeare was probably one big reason for becoming an actor! Also, Shakespeare is just awesome!

[@tinyegg2825]

I actually did come to watch it since I loved Loki so much. But after watching his episodes I had to watch the whole series because it was so good! And not just Hiddleston's episodes! I think it's a good thing that people watch the series, regardless of their own respective reasons. There is something to be gained in watching it even if only to look at Prince Hals segments. I'm grateful Hiddleston did this because it introduced me to literature I never would have otherwise watched :))

[@JacobMinger]

I went into this whole series because it legitimately has all of my favorite actors in it. I think it’s nice to see Tom in a role that ISNT Loki.

[@MelissaDAaron-tv5io]

@@tinyegg2825 As a Shakespeare teacher, I agree. My students were much more interested in history plays after this series came out, and if Tom Hiddleston and Patrick Stewart are a draw, that's ok. They're good actors with Shakespearean training and experience (and in Hiddleston's case, a Double First in Classics).

[@beaq6755]

I watched the Thor franchise because Hiddleston played Loki and I loved the Shakespeare vibe of the first movies. I stopped enjoying it after they changed register and just steamrolled it into a guardians of the galaxy proxy. It's transferred to the Loki series too. I miss Shakespeare Loki. They're misusing Hiddleston

[@kingofboredom77]

There's an uprising to overthrow the king and the king is pissed because the prince is off running around with ruffians and drinking in taverns instead of acting princely. Then the king goes on to say how when he was Prince Hal's age he wouldn't show his face in public and when he did he would act and dress humble so everyone would be impressed and he'd won their loyalty like that (something Hal hasn't been doing). Hal then responds with a less than earnest apology so he gets slapped.

[@bonnafide2606]

This really displays some seriously fine acting. We take it for granted that Irons is an excellent actor, but Hiddleston is not given his dues by those who have only seen him in Loki mode. His performance as the Prince is very moving. Hal has peacefully frolicked and gamboled through his youth, and his behavior has stood at odds with his father's frustrated and paranoia-wracked adulthood. Hal has not simply been sowing wild oats for its own sake. He's not in rebellion to society. He wishes not to oppose his father, he's just aware that one day, very soon, he will BE his father and he is delaying that day's arrival as long as possible. What's regrettable is that the King has been so wrapped up in the mentally-taxing duties of his reign, that he hasn't tried to figure out what makes his son tick. Hal practically oozes love for his father; he worships him. Hal's last response to the King, while light-hearted in tone, was truthful and keenly felt. Hal meant it. Too bad his father didn't catch on. Hiddleston's face said it without words, "I've failed him again." Heartbreaking. Imho, Kenneth Branagh was a dope. Hiddleston originally read for the part of Thor and not Loki. While Loki has been a lot of fun, it would have been more fun to see him flex his acting muscles as Thor. Let's face it, Hemsworth's abs got him that job and not his acting abilities. Part of the charm of Hiddleston's performance as Loki, is that it stands in such stark contrast to Hemsworth's likable enough,but completely wooden, performance as Thor. We should be sympathizing with the hero, not the villain. Dumb casting choice. Hemsworth may have the abs, but Hiddleston's got the depth. Missed opportunity!

I wasn't that crazy about "Richard II", but it was absolutely essential in order to understand both "Henry IV" & "Henry V". I had seen the advertisement with Tom Hiddleston, but then got more & more into the story (actually got them out of the library & started reading them before watching). Since "The Hollow Crown" won't be shown on U.S. TV until either Dec or Jan, I'm very grateful to those wonderful folks who have uploaded all 4 episodes. Tom was great, and so was the rest of the cast.

[@sgregg5257]

The only problem with this scene, and with Henry IV the play, is that the real Prince Hal was nothing like the character in the play. He was serious, hard headed, had ruled the kingdom when his father was ill, and was determined to bring war back to France as soon as he ascended the throne. He pursued his goals with single minded vigor. He was not a party animal, nor was he much inclined to spend time with women. One of the reasons he and his father argued was that the Prince wanted war with France while his father inclined against it. It should also be known that Hotspur was the same age as King Henry IV not his son.

[@captainloggy140]

Shakespeare's "Histories" are historical fiction using real names, they're not meant to be accurate in any way.

I'm watching this teaser because the BBC somehow let through the entire series of films a few months ago, but have since blocked them and I need a fix until I can buy the DVDs in the US.
