The AI literally stripped all the flesh off Gollum. Replaced Aragorn's elven cloak with a nice pair of elve's ears, and slapped a contact lense on Sauron's eye! 😂
In other words, the casting was spot on. I see no significant difference. Gollum was not a zombie though, at least not in the classic sense. He was withered, but not undead.
AI sucks at using it for things like this, I just hope nobody actually does it while reading, take the description and then lazily let ai generate it. Stupid
Pardon my knee-jerk reaction to your comment, Sammy. Peter Jackson is the most talented with these adaptations, but please don’t think that just because AI “got it right” means that AI knows all the answers or is the final answer. That is scary that you went there. Yes, a computer created characters based on limited information and probably used Jackson’s characters as the template to start from, the rest it just perfected to be book-accurate. But seriously, how do we know that Pippen’s hair was that shade of red or that length, and full of curls that fall just that way? We don’t, AI borrowed from world of information to produce these images. I’m just critical of AI and feel we are headed in the wrong direction. I’d rather we be very critical of it rather than think it is a vision of truth. That’s all I mean to say.
Miranda Otto is a pretty woman but Liv Tyler has a perfect face. Humans in LotR including Aragorn have this imperfect earthy look but elves are perfection, except Hugo's Elrond hahahah.
Sauron isn’t supposed to have a Cat’s Eye or Slit-like pupil. That was an invention for the movies. The Eye of Sauron is supposed to be more of a metaphor.
The Eye is rather metaphorical, yes, but this is how Frodo sees it (representing Sauron's will) in the Mirror of Galadriel: "But suddenly the mirror went altogether dark, as dark as if a hole had opened in the world of sight, and Frodo looked into emptiness. In the black abyss there appeared a single eye that slowly grew, until it filled nearly the whole mirror. So terrible was it that Frodo stood rooted, unable to cry out or to withdraw his gaze. The eye was rimmed with fire, but itself glazed, yellow as a cat's, watchful and intent, and the black slit of its pupil opened on a pit, a window into nothing"@@thomaskilroy4573
@@alm2187 , theres always a glitch like that apparently...i saw one of these a while back & frodo looked great but he had a beard...i dont think hobbits can even grow facial hair, not sure, so, idk whats up with that...but, ur comment is as good a guess as any, lol.
@@alm2187 The problem is : In Tolkien's Universe described in every books, Elves never had, don't have and will never have pointed ears !!! They look like angelic androgynous creatures
Actually, Tolkien described Aragorn as "lean, dark, and tall," with "a shaggy head of dark hair flecked with grey, and in a pale stern face a pair of keen grey eyes." He was about 6'6" and due to his Numenorean heritage had no facial hair. (Neither did Boromir.)
Many of these “descriptions” are not in the books (especially Aragorn, whom Tolkien said in his Letters was 6’6”). Similarly, nowhere did he describe Legolas’ hair color. They’re inventions or assumptions of the person who made this video.
Just goes to show that Peter Jackson and his crew were pretty spot on to their casting choices eowyn seems older and more experienced in grief than the AI depicts her And Gandalf was described as having a scarf and eyebrows that stuck out past the rim of his hat so either there was no brim of the hat or his eyebrows were really long
Dude, there was no eye of Sauron in the books, it was Palantir Sauron was watching, and its shining from the top of his tower could be seen from far away
That's because Gandalf and Sauron were both members of the notorious "Angband's Angels" back in the day. There were some good times early on when the gang was first formed and they would ride across Middle Earth on their Balrogs. Gandalf saw where it was heading though and got out early. Sauron on the other hand never seemed to catch on about where that path would ultimately take him and became a lifer - I guess we all know how that ended up fir him!
Is Aragorn really referred to as "very handsome" in the books? I haven't read them in a long time, but the way I remember it is that he's more "noble looking" than particularly good looking.. When the first movie came out I even remember thinking Viggo Mortensen was a little too young and handsome.
Aragorn is supposed to be much older than he is depicted in the movie. But if Peter Jackson had cast an older actor or made Viggo Mortensen appear older, he wouldn't be right for Hollywood leading man status.
Not even close. Liv Tyler is just perfect. Elven beauty is pure and simple, she had just too much jewelry to begin with and she looks older than Liv. Elves that look "old" have gone through some kind of trauma/harsh time. Arwen never did, and when she did, at Aragorn's passing, she decided to die.
You can't really have an "exactly as described" with Tolkien, since he never really did give detailed descriptions of the characters. One thing about Gandalf that Tolkien did mention, and which nobody but Rankin-Bass has used, was Gandalf's very long eyebrows, which stuck out from under his hat.
In the book, Sam’s eyes were described as brown, and at no time was he described as plump. Being a gardener and being outside with a lot of physical activity everyday, highly unlikely he would have been overweight. On the other hand, Frodo was considered plump. There was an instant in the books before he, Pippin and Sam left Bag End to meet Merry and Fatty Bolger at Crickhollow where Frodo was remarking that his pack was very heavy and Sam immediately volunteers to make room in his own to make Frodo’s load easier. Pippin steps in and stops it, telling Sam that Frodo needs the exercise, it will be good for him. Frodo then laughs and says Pippin is right, he was only joking, he knows Sam is likely carrying much more than he needs to. The only description I can find of Sam in the books is the brown eyes, not green, though Sean Astin has some incredibly beautiful green eyes.
Sorry, but no. According to "Nature of Middle-earth", Aragorn is beardless. And Legolas' hair colour has been inconclusively discussed in the fandom for decades!
They turned Arwen into Sansa Stark... And the imagine of Aragorn is all wrong both in the movie and in this description. He's full of scars and not handsome to look at, but a very good person. This is one of the things I dislike perhaps the most in the movie, since they could have made a really great character out of that, someone that constantly surprises by his deeds, and someone you wouldn't expect to be a king. As the hobbits said about him in Bree, that if he had come from the enemy he would "look fairer, but feel fouler".
In the book, Aragorn was rather rough and homely. "Look foul but feel fair" as the hobbits described him. The elves had a halo of light around their heads which Jackson left out but did show up in an animation which was not completed. And poor Gollum! Wiry means thin and strong not a walking skeleton with no flesh on it!
This video proves how accurate the movies were and how loyal to the books. Seriously tho, lotr is one of the only franchises that sticks so closely to the books. I think they are very well made
-Aragorn and Legolas were done so dirty by the A.I -Eowyn and Arwen are fire though. -A.I Boromir looks cool and I would have liked a ginger hobbit like they described Pippin or merry. -But Gollum is literally as described in the books A.I made a robot or something lol
Glad to see AI can fail at something. Funny when Legolas was described with LONG blonde hair it gave him short, Merry & Frodo look like twins, and the Eye of Sauron looked like he was auditioning for a clear eyes commercial after an adverse reaction to his contacts
Inaccurate especially Aragorn and Gandalf. Aragorn was never an elf and you forgot Gandalf's eyebrows that reaches the brim of his hat. As for the hobbits, they all look the same except the hair.
Aragorn certainly isn't "very handsome" in the book. He's actually meant to be quite ugly, in fact. There was a whole sub-plot about appearance being deceptive and that's a concept that runs through the entire book - "I think you would look fairer and feel fouler", "all that is gold does not glister" etc.
Gandalf wears a pointy blue hat, and has long bushy eyebrows that stick out past its brim. I’d use every description from the books to get something more accurate.
The eye of Sauron drawn by the AI is wrong in so many ways and the same goes for gollum. Legolas looks like a Santa Claus Elf and Aragorn I don't even know where to start about him. The only one who looks genuinely cool in the Ai version is Boromir. Glad we had Peter Jackson's version instead.
