The Silmarillion Episode 3 -The War of the Valar-

[@tonytran7859]

This is my weekly go to series now

[@Apol-los]

SAME 😂🙌🏻 One of the few channels on KZbin I actually want notifications from 💪🏻

[@anypercentdeathless]

Ever since these new AI tools have arrived, I've been waiting for such a channel. (Still waiting for a Ring Cycle channel.)

[@rjb639]

I have watched several channels using AI to try to bring the Silmarillion to life, and this one is by far the best. Not only the visuals and effects are amazing, but more importantly, it follows the book pretty closely, I haven't found too many mistakes and the ones I did find are very minor and certainly don't alter the story. I think even those who didn't read the Silmarillion can understand and follow it through these videos. Great work

[@phuckichmobile688]

❤❤❤❤

[@Ishkur23]

It's a valiant effort but I still prefer the Wizards & Warriors (aka Kings & Generals) channel for its thoroughness. It'll be interesting to see how this channel handles the events of the First Age, for comparison. We're still only in the Age of the Lamps so there's lots more to go.

[@Butterflypegasus40]

Manwe was unlucky in having melkor for a brother.

[@socstud0]

@@rjb639 cottage of lost play is good too

[@LordTelperion]

@@Butterflypegasus40 Many of Valar are compliments of each other: Manwe (holiness) and Melkor (sacrilege), Orome (the hunter) and Nessa (the hunted), Mandos (death) and Lorien (dreams), Yavanna (harvest) and Vana (spring), etc...

[@socstud0]

Love the Tulkas laugh!

[@gironda11]

Its the best. I always pictured him with a beard, though, for whatever reason.

[@louisalaimo2122]

i love tulka's behaviour, powerful and funny.

This was typical Tulkas behavior ;)

"I will accept your love, but only on one condition. That you wear clothes to marry me!" Now that made me laugh🤣🤣

Tulkas's laugh ( my favourite valar with Varda ), is incredible😂 !

[@fabianescobarmendez9715]

This is beautiful; Putting such wonderful and epic stories into images, such as Ainulindalë and the Valaquenta, speaks only of love for art. Thank you, beautiful people, thank you.

[@richardglady3009]

Magnificent! I love the scenes where the characters talk and the mouths match the words…I know how difficult that is. I see Tolkien’s Catholicism in your visions of creation-a good thing. Immense detail and a superb visioning of this part of the book. The characters were both realistic and ethereal at the same time. The joy in the “Spring…” was almost palpable. The foreshadowing of things to come was very well done. Thank you.

[@Butterflypegasus40]

When did manwe and varda become a couple?

[@Fingolfin_spod_Rybnika]

@@Butterflypegasus40 probably before Arda (in heavens)

[@PseudoNym100]

It's okay. The voice acting itself is still leaving a lot to be desired. The actual dialogue is still fairly weak as well.

[@anypercentdeathless]

"Ethereal"? No. What's the point in using AI, if the characters still look like Hollywood actors?

[@The_Mandalegorian-le2he]

Love how accurate you are to the lore! The voices, the characters, the music, everything is awesome!

[@lilacgirl-z8w]

Close to perfection.

[@klani1309]

Epic.....Great Cinematography!....waiting for more & Thank you!

[@fabzinluzt]

Amazing. This is the feeling that the reading gives. Somehow. This is an adaptation. Congrats

[@Butterflypegasus40]

@@fabzinluzt best adaptation so far.

[@BamaGunny]

Yes! Well said. I have read as much as I could find. Whenever I desire that special place, like no other, I pick up JRR Tolkien. I love what he has given us. I'm a 71-year-old retired Marine. My Yankee wife shoved this book at me when I was a young lad. I have read every night up to now. I love reading. However, nothing compares to JRR!

[@kidsoeir0]

No mythology ever created can be compared to Tolkien's!!! Though probably the Professor would disagree, as he liked Bewolf and Kalevala very much. I've never read them (yet), but knowing how Professor Tolkien was demanding about his readings, they really should be very good, at least. But I guess no writer has dedicated all his life to create and develop a mythology the way Tolkien did, so it has achieved an astonishing level of poetry and beauty and thrilling and so absolutely enjoyable!!! I love his stories. Regards.

[@Butterflypegasus40]

He didn't just create a mythology but an entire new languages for his middle earth.

[@kidsoeir0]

@Butterflypegasus40 , I respectifully partially disagree, my friend: as already historically proved by Professor Tolkien's words, he created the languages and then a mythology to background them, including Middle-Earth itself. I only stood for the mythology's part. Regards.

[@mateuscabot]

Im loving watching this. And the sounds, the music... amazing.

[@tuneoflife073]

Honestly, you nailed it. Even the series writers should take a note from this. Bravo!

[@banmate6]

The truth shines brighter in this AI...than the counterfeits of humans debasing the works of Tolkien. Well done! No agenda here, just the authenticity of Tolkien.

[@dallreyn8700]

Seriously these are awesome and for using AI you’re doing an amazing job of the visual aspects and depictions of specific scenes and events. Obviously getting dialogue portions is hard and the voices get a lil weird but everything else is damn near perfect I just watched all the three and I hope there is more to come keep it up dudes‼️🫶🤘

Thanks so much 🥳

[@incredibleBY]

This is not how I imagined Tulkas. I thought of him as a stern, stocky bodybuilder like Hellboy from Marvel. But this image is also cool. A sort of Gannicus from the Spartacus TV series Amazing job. Thanks for the video.

[@denisl2760]

He was never stern, but I imagined he'd be bigger and yes, stockier, and have a big beard.

[@Butterflypegasus40]

I prefer no beards for any of the valar men.

Shame to you for not knowing what rights are. Tolkien estate will not sell rights to Silmarillion to anyone. Its only a matter if time before these videos.get taken down as well..also the author may be facing a lawsuit.. so yea

[@VladyRdguez]

Sorry for my english. My born language is spanish. Shame to me? Im not Cercei Lannister. Im celebrate the creativity and they work of someone. The opinión of Tolkien (the original, not the grandson) was magnificent, of course, impossible.

[@shuratobrc]

@@djDenimusicit baffles me how people put themselves to root against beautiful art done for free. What do you gain from it? It’s as if you’re a spawn of Morgoth yourself! So be gone to the dark recesses from which you came!

[@djDenimusic]

@shuratobrc im not rooting againts this art. Its great, I'm just saying that Netflix Hollywood etc cant make this coz they dont have the rights to do it. Toliken did not want any of his work adopted ever! So thats why Tolkien Estate is not selling them to anyone for any amount of money! A true spawn of Morgoth is the one not respecting professors wishes and work ;)

[@primo1st1]

Nice work, Tolkien would be proud of you.

[@tmanwattsutube]

The art and characters make this riveting. Between and during exposition, the scenes and "acting" of the characters through words AND expression could teach a thing or two about acting and storytelling to a certain company who's name starts with a "D" and ends with a "y".

[@andrewshaughnessy5828]

[@fedakka]

I have always wanted to see Tulkas in action! Thanks for making it possible! With that being said, I have always imagined Tulkas to be bulkier, more like a viking warrior, a force of nature in human form. According to the Silmarillion, Tulkas was described to have ruddy flesh and golden hair and beard. Quite unlike the character I see here (the beard here is barely visible and Tulkas looks almost like a boy). Also, as I have mentioned elsewhere, it would be much more natural if the eyebrows of blond characters are blond too, not black (as is the case with Manwe for example)...

[@EchoesofEä]

@@fedakka Thank you very much for the support. If the eyebrows were something I didn't take into account, that's a good point. For Tulkas, I always wanted something like One Punch Mickey, from the Snatch movie, because of his personality and strength.

[@nathynorthy6916]

Beautiful work! But... maybe Eru shouldn't be so human? And a cockney Manwë was an interesting choice ;) Also, would the Valar actually wear clothes? I always imagined Manwë wrapped in clouds, Yavanna in leaves, flowers and tree-bark, Ulmo in water, shells etc. and the others in whatever was essential to their beings. Maybe later on they would choose appear to elves, men and dwarves in something that resembled clothes; but before any of these races awoke, I can't see why they would need to be clothed in human garments. One more quibble - what is said instead of Vána (the ever-young)? It sounds like "Renna".
