You wouldn't have had those expectations if you had not played those games. Also yes elves age although not in the same way humans do, having Elrond look a zoomer compared to Celebrimor is one way of portraying it onscreen
That isn't what it means you moronic zoomer. Aging gracefully is to age naturally and not get things like cosmetic surgery and certain cosmetics to make yourself look artificially young and fake.
>11 thousand year old
I just took a mean shit, and now I can't help but wonder how much shit has passed through Galadriel's spread porcelain cheeks in 11,000 years. I looked it up, and apparently the average woman produces about 400 grams of feces a day, whether they pass it or not. Let's presume Galadriel's sphincter gets a workout every day for 11,000 years.
For reference, the average weight for the largest male African elephants is like 7 tons, so Galadrial has passed roughly 229 male African elephants worth of turds

Yeah but nah.
Elves have foods that sustain at far higher ratios than human food, see lembas.
One wafer was enough to sustain a person through a whole days’ hard labor, so, roughly factor 20 less in. Assume ditto out.

Can you show an example of what it would look like stacked in one pile?
It will get alot of use, it's not just for these scenes. Numenoreans are at sea alot as will the elves from time to time, most of the ocean/boat scenes will be done in the wave pools.
She was 2,880 at the time of exile and the 1st age of the sun lasted ~600 years so at the start of the 2nd age Galadriel would be around 3,500 years old. Which is actually only the equivalent of a 26 year old when you do Tolkien's autistic human equivalent conversions.
So does that make every other elf other than Cirdan the equivalent of a 12 year old?

For elves that live in middle earth they age 1 human equivalent year for every actual 100 years that pass. So for an elf born at the start of the 2nd age (like Celebrian) they would be the equivalent of a 30 year old by the end of the 2nd age
It's a bit different if you spend time in Valinor because the aging process is slower, which is why Galadriel is still in her 20s at the start of the 2nd age despite 3.5k years passing.
This is pure Tolkien autism, but something he put effort into working out and explaining

>Nature of Middle Earth
unpublished writings by Tolkien
unpublished for a fricking reason
In editorial notes for Silmarillion both in 'Of the Flight of the Noldor' and 'Morgoth's Ring' it writes >Elves are born about one year after their begetting. >By their first year, Elf children can speak, walk, and dance, and their quicker onset of mental maturity makes young Elves seem older than they actually are. >Elves' bodies developed slower than those of Men, but their minds developed more swiftly. >In their twenties, they might still appear physically seven years old, though the Elf-child would have mature language and skill, whereas Men at the same age are already physically mature. >Physical puberty is generally complete by their fiftieth year (by age fifty they reach their adult height), but they are not considered full-grown until a hundred years have passed. >Elves did not physically age after they reached maturity, but they did age in a different sense than Men. They became ever more weary of the world and burdened by its sorrows.
After an Elf reached around 100 they are mentally, physically, and sexually adult and DO NOT AGE FURTHER. Elves that are not married at this point are considered weird and with weird destinies.
For an elf, there is no difference if they are 1000 or 10000 because they stopped aging around 100.
It's really fricking coincidental that shortly after Amazon bought their 140 pages of IP rights, books appear that have purposely unprinted content that is in direct contradiction to 40-50 year old canon edited by Christopher himself around Silmarillion and then 'experts' and 'scholars' are posting this shit everywhere where people are angry.
Oh well, it's just a coincidence. There is no way Amazon would pay anyone for shilling at their small investment of billion dollars.

She's old in relation to a human, in elvish lifespan terms though she's still fairly young and in the 'full of vigour' stage of her life.

You could make the argument that if they were going for relative ages to be displayed by the actors then it's really Galadriel that is the odd one out rather than Celebrimbor.
That said if you are going to have any of the elves being the odd one out then it works for that to be Galadriel imo
Have any of them been in anything of note before and been shit? I wouldn't call them talentless until the show is out and we can actually see if they are any good at acting
They are mostly theatre actors and the show intentionally cast lesser known names.
Some of them are well known in particular circles, both Celebrimbor and Pharazon actors have done loads of Shakespeare, both were in The Terror too
>think she's wearing anything under it?
Doubt it
The guy probably saw her clean shaven elven pusy
Having Galadriel fashion a makeshift sailing raft is pretty cool, it's the type of skill that would feel innate to her (being half sea elf) and she would have learned alot from her mothers people when she lived in Valinor
Also she looks great in pretty much every pic
Look how short she is! Look how fricking short she is. They cast her as a hobbit or dwarf but then she fricked the right people and got elevated to Galadriel. LMAO!
>And it isn’t just the storm that Halbrand and Galadriel, who Vickers says “end up using each other to survive,” have to contend with in the Sundering Seas. Most of the team that we spoke with could only allude to so much, and some of what was shared with us was even too spoilery to divulge yet, but what we are allowed to reveal is that there is a greater threat lurking beneath the choppy waves, one that will lead to an altogether separate sequence that was filmed in a dive tank and required the actors to draw on all the underwater training they learned.
Tolkien actually did write that Elves "age" in the same sense as mortal humans do but the scale on which they do it is vastly longer and different to that of humans. For example, they become full-grown to physical "adulthood" in roughly the same amount of time as a human - about 18-25 years give or take. Then they spend the next 999,999,999 years aging gracefully through what amounts for a human as the years 25-50 until they finally start getting weary of the world and fricking off to Valinor, but even then they will still age (again, very slowly) until the end of the world when they will be really REALLY old and really looking like it.
It looks more like Gericault's "Wreck of the Medusa", which is early 19th century Romantic, not Renaissance
WOW is this two people clambering around on a raft in a pool with a wavemaker in it with a backdrop that looks like a cave? Ooooh, IM GONNA COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
>they should have that thin, long-faced androgynous look
Jackson went to great lengths to find scores of people with this appearance, just as extras. Am*azon's hacks couldn't even cast the main characters properly.
incidentally I don't know where the idea that elves don't grow beards come from because Cirdan is said to have a long full beard (but not moustaches) in the Grey Havens chapter of Return of the King
Cirdan was just an exception, I don't think Tolkien imagined any other elves growing beards considering the Numenoreans of royal descendant couldn't grow beards either due to just the hint of elvish blood in them.

So… You’re saying secondary sexual hair growth isn’t a thing for elves?
Thus elf maidens don’t need wax, razors, w/e, they’re natural smoothies downstairs?
Elrond and Elros aged like men until the fall of Thangorodrim and the banishment of Morgoth. When they were given the choice to live between elves or men they were in their 50s.
Having Galadriel fashion a makeshift sailing raft is pretty cool, it's the type of skill that would feel innate to her (being half sea elf) and she would have learned alot from her mothers people when she lived in Valinor

Okay.
You got the part about her not being the ideal female form in the arena of attractive breasts. Good job.
Note let’s talk about her being short, masculine, and generally marginal in every single way, yes?
elves don't "grow old" in the sense you're thinking. they're mortal of course, that is they can die. but what causes "age" to appear on an elf's face are the trials of life: violence, betrayal, other stresses. the harder a life an elf has lived, the older he will look.
that's why Elrond looks "weathered" in the lotr films
They've always aged, due to long ages and weariness of the World (Cirdan as example). However Celebrimbor shouldn't definitely look that old. If anything he should look younger than Galadriel.
Celebrimbor is younger than Galadriel, and only slightly older than Gil-galad, who is only slightly older than Elrond, but you wouldn't know this from the actors they chose.
problem with that is
im 28 and still look about 16 and ive met 12-18 year olds that look 30
people looking the exact age they are isnt as standard as everyone ITT seems to expect
>we're talking about fiction with set rules here,
where the frick in all of tolkiens writting does it say 'every inhabitant of middle earth looks exactly the age they are'?
>t. shut in moron
a kid in my school had a full beard and looked like an adult at 14
girls make themselves look older all the time to get into clubs and shit
shops get fined for selling tobacco to kids becasue a kid that looked like old enough to not even bother IDing bought shit
its pretty common, just becasue you havent seen it doesnt mean it doesnt exist
The lighting is garbage. It's hi-res for the image but clearly the stone texture isn't. Look at all the texture/lighting(normalmap artifacts. And look at the frames of the hand and ships around the water. And how flat the walls look. Where the frick is the billion dollars in this? Oh, right. They waster some 100-200 million in their oversized baby pool.
Because it's an insult for everyone who actually cares about Tolkien. It's a skinwalker, a monstrosity, an absolute abomination dressed up in pretty Tolkien skin, bursting at the seams with filth and rot.

I can never quite figure out the proper pronunciation as refers to diacritics in LOTR names since it seems not wholly consistent
theres that little umlaut over the a of Earendil and Im not sure if that means its a stressed syllable or just a pronounced one: should it be >EY-uh-REN-dill
or >ay-ARR-en-dill
?
You wouldn't have had those expectations if you had not played those games. Also yes elves age although not in the same way humans do, having Elrond look a zoomer compared to Celebrimor is one way of portraying it onscreen
Besides the games there are also no grandpa elves in the Jackson movies
Same age as Hugo Weaving was in The Hobbit movies
people can look much younger while being the same age, it's called aging gracefully
That isn't what it means you moronic zoomer. Aging gracefully is to age naturally and not get things like cosmetic surgery and certain cosmetics to make yourself look artificially young and fake.
>Same age as Hugo Weaving was in The Hobbit movies
Weaving was always too old for that role, even for Fellowship. The Jackson standard is a downgrade.
>Weaving was always too old for that role
For Elrond I agree, pretty much a miscast imo
You're dumb
He's right.

400g (365 days) = 146kg
146kg (11,000 years) = 1,606 metric tons

yeah, its a pretty cool setup they made
she'd better not be wearing loose clothing under that dress
lol
they better be renting out this place for the next decade or keeping them at sea for 50 episodes or they'll never recoup their losses on it
It will get alot of use, it's not just for these scenes. Numenoreans are at sea alot as will the elves from time to time, most of the ocean/boat scenes will be done in the wave pools.
uhh, building something like that isn't nowhere near as expensive as you think it is lol.
She looks old, too fricking old and too ugly. Also you are homosexual remember that.
>looks old
Well she is like 4,000 years old at this point

She looks even older here, KYS.
even the guy in the water behind her is thinking "you ain't no facking cate blanchett, mate"
>Well she is like 4,000 years old at this point
No she’s not. Proof?
She was 2,880 at the time of exile and the 1st age of the sun lasted ~600 years so at the start of the 2nd age Galadriel would be around 3,500 years old. Which is actually only the equivalent of a 26 year old when you do Tolkien's autistic human equivalent conversions.
did she ever see a dinosaur or were they already gone
As a catholic Tolkien probably found dinosaurs too fantastical even for middle earth
So does that make every other elf other than Cirdan the equivalent of a 12 year old?
For elves that live in middle earth they age 1 human equivalent year for every actual 100 years that pass. So for an elf born at the start of the 2nd age (like Celebrian) they would be the equivalent of a 30 year old by the end of the 2nd age

Remember when elves were allowed to be young and beautiful?
Yes, Elrond is beautiful.
Elrond and Elros aged like men until the fall of Thangorodrim and the banishment of Morgoth. When they were given the choice to live between elves or men they were in their 50s.
In that case then, Elrond should already be looking like Hugo Weaving by the time the RoP is set.
He's literally a really kino actor though. He'll own the role.
I think it will depend on the type of characterisation they give Celebrimbor, but yeah Charles Edwards is a really good actor with tons of experience
This show will get more memed on thant GoT s8, man the live threads are gonna be funny as frick.

>midget
She's average height for a woman and hasn't added a few inches to her claimed height like alot of them do
>5'3''
>average
You living in Liliput?
Imagine if she had a summer romance with a black bbc elf
elves don't "grow old" in the sense you're thinking. they're mortal of course, that is they can die. but what causes "age" to appear on an elf's face are the trials of life: violence, betrayal, other stresses. the harder a life an elf has lived, the older he will look.
that's why Elrond looks "weathered" in the lotr films
imagine an alcoholic elf after 4000 years of heavy drinking lmao
It’d just be an orc duh.
>CAN'T TAKE HIS GROG!
nothing in those homosexualy video games is canon child
Just like RoP
agreed
So, why is a smith wearing a table cloth?
>elves with short hair
Amazon needs to burn
They've always aged, due to long ages and weariness of the World (Cirdan as example). However Celebrimbor shouldn't definitely look that old. If anything he should look younger than Galadriel.
Was their a miscommunication with the hairstylist or something?
"Hey we need them to have elvish hair."
"Elvis hair. Got it."
????
Underrated post
Don't ask question just be stream piggy and eat your slop to resist capitalism
and remember to Vote Bernie!
no but his brother Ayol does
Celebrimor is Grandad-core.
>unironic shill posting with unironic corporate filenames
have a nice day and the bots posting in this thread.
>corporate filenames
moron
His sister Ecute was pretty dark as well
Where is Galadriel's trophy husband? For I need to speak with him.
The weird ass black hobbit and the black dwarves kill any interest I had in this
I'm sure there were better ways to include black people in the series
I thought elves were supposed to be the most beautiful beings in middle earth
Tell Bezos that.
they are the most beautiful, just not very beautiful
Finally! No one would ship Celebrimbor with Sauron anymore since Celebrimbor looks old and less hot now.
if Galadriel was really the most perfect and beautiful of all elves and humans, she'd look more like pic related
immersion ruined
Celebrimbor is younger than Galadriel, and only slightly older than Gil-galad, who is only slightly older than Elrond, but you wouldn't know this from the actors they chose.
problem with that is
im 28 and still look about 16 and ive met 12-18 year olds that look 30
people looking the exact age they are isnt as standard as everyone ITT seems to expect
Yeah, cute, but we're talking about fiction with set rules here, not your life.
>we're talking about fiction with set rules here,
where the frick in all of tolkiens writting does it say 'every inhabitant of middle earth looks exactly the age they are'?
i dont take photos of random people i meet
Because you're a fricking liar. No 12 year old looks 30 you idiot.
>t. shut in moron
a kid in my school had a full beard and looked like an adult at 14
girls make themselves look older all the time to get into clubs and shit
shops get fined for selling tobacco to kids becasue a kid that looked like old enough to not even bother IDing bought shit
its pretty common, just becasue you havent seen it doesnt mean it doesnt exist
>ive met 12 year olds that look 30
pics?
Prepare for kino
it's just the leaked one
Yeah I know, might watch again just to hear what non-Portuguese Galadriel sounds like tbh
High-res of Numenorean port, statue is of Eärendil
Actually looks bretty gud but still not watching this pile of shit
I actually I take it back. Looked at it full res and now it looks like a pre-rendered cutscene from Age of Empires or some shit lmfao
Who put that giant statue there?
Numenoreans carved it into the rockface, it's a statue of Elronds father (and mother)
Cool I’ve been waiting for a sneak peek at the latest final fantasy.
why is nobody scrubbing that statue, it's gonna get eroded
They are, why do you think it isn’t covered in birdshit?
Elwing fought the birds off?
They included bird form Elwing to scare the seagulls away
The lighting is garbage. It's hi-res for the image but clearly the stone texture isn't. Look at all the texture/lighting(normalmap artifacts. And look at the frames of the hand and ships around the water. And how flat the walls look. Where the frick is the billion dollars in this? Oh, right. They waster some 100-200 million in their oversized baby pool.
B-but muh practical effects!
What are you, a chud who can’t appreciate real world effects (in a box)?
Real box effects?
It’ll make up for the starving writers the producers were also fricking right in the ass, beleib me!
>engaging in any way at all with this abomination
lol
lmao
exdee
You don’t want to see it flop?
Not even a little bit?
I mean if you’re so capable of not taking bait, why’d you post lol.
New LOTR book cover, it's actually ROP concept art by John Howe lol
That sure is one swarthy looking elf
It's Gil-galad
his soundcloud rapper name is lil-galad X
There are some nice special edition hardcovers, but no one will convince me they are better than this old Classic.
Also if you are buying a book with a commercial for another product on the cover you should at least get a discount.
I've been saying the same thing when they released movie covers.
Why are all of you incels so incredibly angry and uppity about a show you won’t watch?
It looks great, will watch the first episode while recovering from my 2nd booster shot.
Because it's an insult for everyone who actually cares about Tolkien. It's a skinwalker, a monstrosity, an absolute abomination dressed up in pretty Tolkien skin, bursting at the seams with filth and rot.
People here are actually going to watch this israeli garbage?
Of course I'll watch it. For free torrenting it from rutracker.
Of course, why wouldn't I?
You know what makes the sea of homosexualry bearable around here, anon?
Aside from everything else, it’s leaks from people inside who wouldn’t be comfortable posting on twatter or faceberk.
Lay off that Black person, yes he’s posting shit the general public doesn’t have yet, yes he’s invested in a project he tried to make successful, that does not a “shill” make.
Shills try to gaslight you on your distaste.
I can never quite figure out the proper pronunciation as refers to diacritics in LOTR names since it seems not wholly consistent
theres that little umlaut over the a of Earendil and Im not sure if that means its a stressed syllable or just a pronounced one: should it be
>EY-uh-REN-dill
or
>ay-ARR-en-dill
?
You literally pronounce it as it's written. Earendil.
I suppose it's hard for English speaking people lol.
>You literally pronounce it as it's written
Worcestershire
AY-AR-REN-DIL
pj's gil-galad is still the worst live action elf casting
