Interview with Charles Edwards and Charlie Vickers

Transcript

00:00one question i've been asking everyone today is with the rings of power in play now we get to see

00:05how various characters react to coming into possession with them if you yourself came into

00:10ran into one of the rings how do you think you would react or like which character from the

00:15lord of the rings franchise do you think would you'd react the most similar to oh probably golem

00:20yeah you do have a lot of golem i've become obsessed i've become yeah yeah i would probably

00:29be i have to i mean i have to say sauron i think like i let's just say i've become a mass murderer

00:35maybe you know who knows these rings of you know who knows what i think are you asking like what

00:41the power would be or what would happen to us like what would happen to you guys do you think you'd

00:46be overtaken by it do you think you'd be able to go throw it in in the volcano what do you think

00:50that's what it did i mean because they all do different things right and they play on facets

00:54of your character yeah i think i'd become overpowered by it quite quickly yeah yeah like

01:01golem yeah yeah the answer is both of us we're both golems these are great questions i just have

01:08to say thank you i feel like i would be corrupted by any roof i feel unfortunately i'm trying to think

01:15what would my reaction which character would my reaction yeah i don't know why do you why do you

01:24this is a really difficult question i think that would just become so because it's difficult right

01:33it's difficult to to kind of ignore and and dismiss the power of the ring i feel like we all like to

01:40think that we'd be yeah but i'd be okay but i yeah yeah i'm gonna say i think i'd go down a really

01:46bad yeah yeah no yeah i agree i think yeah yeah oh yeah i would say borrow me for sure when he just

01:58can't you're talking about me sam yep yep yeah yeah i think i think i mean i love that in in the world

02:06that in in talking's world that the power of the ring you just don't know what it's going to feel

02:11like till you get it and you think oh well i'm just going to take it and carry it to somewhere

02:14but it's got you in its clutches already you know it's so powerful i think i really relate to where

02:22they're like maybe we should leave it with tom bombadil it doesn't seem to affect him at all and

02:26they're like he just lose it that's unfortunately yeah or golem golem yeah i mean schmiedel probably

02:36i mean i think the the reality of i mean if you if you really know the lore it's a bit of there but

02:45for the grace of tolkien go i um uh evil is so formidable and so embedded in all of us and i think

02:54i mean we see it with the elves it's it's uh it's arrogant to assume that we too would throw it into

03:01the fire yes um i mean look at humanity today and i think that's one of the beautiful things about

03:07tolkien is that those that don't it's it's one of the most beautiful and in-depth uh characterizations

03:18of bravery that that unfortunately probably isn't that self-evident in the world that we actually

03:25live in yeah i i like to think that he would be aligned with also someone becoming evil especially

03:35wait is it me or is it my character you well he

03:41um hey cool man i i that doesn't think i think i think it's more towards i think i think it's

03:52inevitable almost to be more towards an evil side of things like the true power the pull is so strong

04:00like the dark side absolutely and even any of the things like the definition of evil you know i was

04:05like evil good you're always thinking that you're the problem is that you're thinking you're doing

04:10absolute good so even when you think that you're doing absolute good you were still veering towards

04:16evil so like i have power to do this this and that to lead to save to you know you would have

04:22eventually become a tyrant

04:23you
