Sauron Yuav Zoo Li Walter White, Tony Soprano Thiab Joker

Lub Rings Ntawm Lub Zog thawj lub caij tau los txog thaum kawg, tom qab yim ntu, tus tswv tsev ntawm cov thawv tsis meej thiab qee qhov nthuav tawm loj hauv Lub Caij 1 kawg.

Koj tuaj yeem nyeem kuv qhov kev tshuaj xyuas ntawm qhov kawg ntawm no.

Spoilers ua ntej.

hais lus nrog Lub Hollywood Reporter, showrunners JD Payne thiab Patrick McKay tham txog thawj lub caij, qhov loj tshaj tawm ntawm Sauron nyob rau hauv lub caij kawg, thiab dab tsi yuav tsum tau los ntawm cov yeeb yam arch-villain nyob rau hauv lub caij 2.

Nws yog qhov nyeem tau heev, Kuv yuav tsum lees paub, nrog rau cov yeeb yam tus tsim piv rau lawv Sauron twist rau Milton's Paradise Poob, thiab xa cov ntaub ntawv xa mus rau Romeo & Juliette, Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy thiab casting Sauron raws li ib tug antihero zoo ib yam li Tony Soprano los yog Walter White.

Qhov no txhua yam ua rau kuv zoo li me ntsis rau kev ua yeeb yam uas yog, ntawm nws qhov zoo tshaj plaws, ib qho zoo nkauj heev ntawm cov kiv cua-lus tseeb thiab ntawm nws qhov phem tshaj qhov kev hloov pauv ntawm Tolkien's Second Age.

Thaum hmo ntuj kawg, Halbrand tau tshwm sim los ua Sauron tag nrho. Qhov no yog ib yam uas peb coob leej pom los tab sis vam tias yuav tsis muaj li ntawd. Tom qab tag nrho, Galadriel thiab Halbrand ntsib nyob rau hauv nruab nrab ntawm dej hiav txwv nyob rau hauv dab tsi yuav tsuas yog piav raws li ib tug qus coincidence, thiab txhua tus kws sau ntawv tsim nyog lawv cov ntsev paub tias tsiaj qus coincidences feem ntau tsis ua rau cov dab neeg zoo. Qhov phem tshaj, Galadriel - ib tug ntawm cov hlob thiab txawj ntse ntawm elves - yog tag nrho duped los ntawm Sauron txoj kev dag ntxias mus txog rau thaum kawg, uas ua rau cov yeeb yam lub hauv paus protagonist saib txawm phem tshaj nws twb ua.

Yog li vim li cas lawv thiaj taug txoj kev no?

"Peb xav tias Sauron yuav tsum yog tus cwj pwm ntawm nws tus kheej," McKay hais. "Peb xav kawm txog cov dej ntws hauv nws txoj hauv kev uas cia siab tias yuav muab nqi zog rau cov neeg tuaj saib thaum lawv ua raws nws mus tom ntej thaum nws dhau los ua Tus Tswv Tsaus Ntuj. Tam sim no koj paub nws li ib tug neeg sab nraud lub npe 'Sauron.' Hauv qee txoj kev, peb xav ua zaj dab neeg keeb kwm rau Sauron. Peb tsis xav ua ib qho yeeb yam uas hais txog kev yos hav zoov rau Sauron, tab sis peb nyiam lub tswv yim ntawm Sauron li tus neeg dag ntxias uas tuaj yeem, vam tias, dag qee tus neeg tuaj saib "

““Muaj qee yam uas Milton ua Paradise Poob uas peb tau tham ntau, ”Payne hais. “Qhov twg nws ua rau Xatas ua tus cwj pwm zoo. Nyob rau hauv qee txoj kev, nws yog thawj antihero qhov twg nws tau yuam thiab koj tsis tuaj yeem tshem koj ob lub qhov muag ntawm nws. Milton ua li ntawd rau lub hom phiaj vim nws xav kom koj poob nrog Adas thiab Evas. Nws xav kom Dab Ntxwg Nyoog ntxias kom nws ntxias [tus nyeem ntawv] thiab koj yeej tsis nco qab, kom koj pom koj tus kheej poob thiab koj xav tau kev txhiv dim.

"Hauv Tolkien, Sauron yog ib tus neeg dag ntxias thiab peb paub tias hauv Hnub Nyoog Ob Nws tshwm sim hauv 'daim ntawv ncaj ncees.' Yog li cas yog tias nws dag koj thiab muaj peev xwm ua kom koj muaj kev sib haum xeeb nrog nws thiab coj koj los nrog nws ua ke kom thaum koj paub tias nws yog leej twg, nws twb tau txais nws txoj hlua hauv koj? Yog li ntawd nws tsis yog yooj yim li, 'Tus neeg no yog phem, kuv yuav rov qab mus,' vim hais tias koj twb tsim ib co theem ntawm kev txuas rau nws. Yuav ua li cas yog tias peb tuaj yeem ua kom cov neeg tuaj saib mus dhau txoj kev zoo sib xws?

Hauv kev xav, qhov no tsis thab kuv kiag li. Tab sis qhov kev ua yeeb yam yuav tsum tau tsom mus rau Halbrand ntau dua los rub nws tawm hauv Lub Caij 1. Halbrand tsuas yog ib qho ntawm cov yeeb yam loj heev, thiab nws tus kheej tiag tiag li Sauron tau tshaj tawm ntxov dhau. Tag nrho cov phiaj xwm hais txog nws ua Vaj Ntxwv ntawm Southlands xav tias raug yuam thiab txiav txim siab. Nws yuav tsum tau qhia nyob rau hauv ib tug ntau organic thiab tsawg coincidental txoj kev. Nws yuav tsum tau ua ib tug heroic ntau tus neeg uas cov neeg tuaj saib tau hlub tiag tiag - yog hais tias lub hom phiaj yog ntxias peb (thiab ua cas Galadriel) poob rau nws.

Oddly, Payne hais tias lawv tsis xav kom qhov kev nthuav tawm ua ib qho kev xav tsis thoob tag nrho tab sis qhov kev lees paub ntawm "sneaking suspicion." Nws sau tseg tias “Muaj ib qho laj thawj uas tib neeg tseem tab tom tso Romeo thiab Juliet Ntau pua xyoo tom qab nws tau sau txawm tias koj paub tias muaj dab tsi tshwm sim thaum kawg. Kev xav tsis thoob tsuas yog muab nqi zog rau koj ntawm ib qho kev saib. "

Qhov kuv pom zoo kawg li ntawm nqe lus no yog thawj lub caij ntawm Lub Rings Ntawm Lub Hwj Chim cia siab yuav luag tag nrho rau surprises. Lawv teeb tsa ntau lub thawv tsis paub - leej twg yog Tus Neeg Txawv Tebchaws? Leej twg yog Sauron? Dab tsi yog cov dwarves nkaum? Dab tsi yog rab ntaj hneev rau?—thiab muab ib qho 'xav' rau peb qhia tom qab. Mount Doom. Lub Balrog. Sauron. Nws zoo nkaus li tias tag nrho lub caij tau sau nrog kev xav tsis thoob hauv siab.

Ntawm Galadriel, Payne hais tias: “Lub caij pib nrog: Leej twg yog Galadriel? Nws tuaj qhov twg? Nws raug kev txom nyem li cas? Vim li cas nws thiaj tsav? Tab sis kuv tsis paub tseeb tias cov lus nug no tau teb raws li qhov txaus siab tshwj xeeb, yog li thaum nws hais ntxiv tias Lub Caij 2 yuav ua "ib yam nrog Sauron" Kuv tsis muaj kev cia siab ntau.

"Sauron tam sim no tsuas yog Sauron," McKay hais ntxiv. "Zoo li Tony Soprano lossis Walter White. Nws yog phem, tab sis complexly phem. Peb xav zoo li yog tias peb ua qhov ntawd hauv lub caij nyoog, nws yuav dhau los ua txhua yam ntxiv. Yog li thawj lub caij zoo li Batman pib, Thiab cov Lub Dark Knight yog zaj yeeb yaj kiab tom ntej, nrog Sauron maneuvering tawm hauv qhov qhib. "

Ntawm no kuv tsuas chuckle. Sauron yuav zoo li Tony Soprano, tus sociopathic mobster los ntawm ib qho ntawm TV cov kev qhuas tshaj plaws, Lub Sopranos? Nws kuj yuav zoo li tus sociopathic, khav theeb ntse Walter White los ntawm breaking phem, dav suav hais tias yog qhov zoo tshaj plaws TV yeeb yam puas tau ua? Huag, thiab zoo li Joker los ntawm Christopher Nolan cov yeeb yaj kiab uas tau qhuas txog Batman, dav suav tias yog qee qhov zoo tshaj plaws superhero movies puas tau ua?

Kuv tuaj yeem hais li cas? Qhov no ntaus kuv tus kheej-aggrandizement los ntawm koom haum. Lub Rings Ntawm Lub Hwj Chim tsis yog ib qho kev ntseeg ncaj ncees ntawm Tolkien lossis hauv tib pab koomtes li Milton, Shakespeare, Lub Sopranos, Breaking Bad or Qhov tsaus nti Knight. Lub caij no tsis yog ib qho kev kawm tob ntawm tus cwj pwm tej ntawm nws cov cim, thiab tau siv sij hawm ntau dhau rau qib tertiary thiab thaum kawg tsis tseem ceeb cov nuj nqis zoo li Bronwyn thiab Theo tau ua qhov kev ntsuam xyuas tiag tiag ntawm Halbrand / Sauron (cia Galadriel nyob ib leeg).
