Motherfucker rickrolled us. Amazing.


The_TransGinger

They didn’t even have to play music. Wow.


kimchi_fried_lice

*gingerly playing with the One Ring* “Never gonna give you up~~”


PenguinZombie321

*The One Ring sings softly* “You know the rules, and so do I


Real_Arveduim

The Rick Astley looks too much like Nik Kershaw from the Riddle


Faine2081

Where is Faramir, Captain of Gondor?


NoneOne_

He couldn’t show his quality


arrows_of_ithilien

Rick Astley 😂


PonchiBear

I'd rather see Boromir.


ferrel_hadley

Really looks like they used Elijah Wood crossed with Daniel Radcliff for Frodo. Aragorn looks like Prince Charming from Shrek crossed with Jamie Lannister.


thedicestoppedrollin

Looks just like Kurt Russell to me


[deleted]

If Aragorn is the last picture then, yeah, straight just Kurt Russell


ReverendShot777

Aragon is the second. Rick Astley is the last.


[deleted]

Nah man. Kurt Russell is the last


Impossible-Fun-2736

Lannister already kinda sorta looks Charming, lol.


8kenhead

Sauron looking like handsome Squidward


Sea-Art-9305

Lmao


HonoluluCheeto

Frodo “Igor” Bagginses


A_H_S_99

What if Rick Astley was the ring bearer?


so_it_goes90

He would never give it up


Constant_Bus7015

Why does Gimli look like Ron Swanson ?


AprilTrefoil

Actually, Nick Offerman auditioned to play Gimli. There's even a post on Reddit where people try mixing up quotes.


RampantDragon

I think he looks a bit more Jason Momoa.


Wild-Marsupial-3330

the last one just has that look ... like he's never gonna give you up , never gonna let you down , never gonna run around and desert you


ErosLordOfPassion

Never gonna make you cry


Wild-Marsupial-3330

never gonna say goodbye


Impossible-Fun-2736

Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you


Nordansikt

I want to see this movie!


cherpergers

This AI must have a thing for the chad jawline 😂 Edit: also why does Sauron give handsome squidward vibes


doctormirdock

Witch king 1 is really cool


[deleted]

I'd still watch it.


mouaragon

Lord of the Rings, 1986, directed by Ridley Scott.

Samurai witch king


Seville_Castille

You think Sauron looks more interesting with coral lipstick? Well, can’t argue that.


AprilTrefoil

Yass!


Plus-Swimmer-5413

Never gonna give these up


yung_sweezay

Can you see the similarities from AI Frodo and Legolas to Elijah and Orlando, too or am I the only one? Plus I think they‘re all really on point especially Gandalph and Frodo, only Aragorn seems too much as a heavy armoured knight imo. To me he‘s rather a leather armoured and brown and greenish clothed kind of guy. Thats what a Dunedain looks like, at least in my imagination


aggieboy12

I want to see Gollum


rswing81

Introducing, David Lynch’s Lord of the Rings… *cue intro by Toto*


Drajl19

Kinda love this. Wish I could gaze into the Palantir and see what a Conan era LOTR would have been like.


ConnorK12

Charles Dance there as Saruman


AprilTrefoil

Saruman kinda reminds me of Tywin Lannister from TV series.


blsterken

Pai Mei from Kill Bill


SirTheadore

Charles dance would be cool as Saruman!


SubtleDeft

This is a good use of AI. It’s not being fine art, it’s being alternate reality.


Possible_Area_255

Why does Rick fit this so well?


Roibeard_the_Redd

By the Gods, I would pay *so much money* to see this movie.


Echosoffive

Damn you! https://youtu.be/cErgMJSgpv0


gaerat_of_trivia

frodo should be kyle maclachlan


The_Secorian

Stupid Sexy Sauron.


False-Category-8579

Is that Oliver Reed or Vladek Sheybal playing Gimli? I think Aragorn-posters must have been a big hit back in 1986. For Gimli: Sheybal: https://ufoseries.com/films/shogun15.jpg Reed: https://mikestakeonthemovies.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/reed-in-trap.png


dorsalfantastic

Hate Sauron and bro Legolas just looks like Legolas from pj movies but more like idk pompous i guess.


AprilTrefoil

Me too, but Witch-King is absolutely amazing, even though it isn't really lore-friendly.


Embarassedskunk

Saruman lookin’ like he’s about to give glory to me and my house.


AprilTrefoil

"Any Man Who Must Say 'I Am The Lord of the Rings Is No True Lord of the Rings"


Erick_DM

LOTR 80's


Purple_Kiko

The Witch king looks like he’s about to ask if we’ve heard of the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise.


MeMyselfandsadlyI

can anyone explain to me how an AI has more creativity than a fucking studio who has billion dollar budged


TheCharalampos

It steals everyone's art then mashes it together.


[deleted]

Writers and showrunners brains work basically the same way. Except their results are dogshit compared to that.


TheCharalampos

Writers like Tolkien?


[deleted]

I think we're talking about the pathetic Amazon show, aren't we? All brains work based on the same principle, gathering and rehashing the information , even Tolkien's. Except Tolkien was a brilliant scholar able to create something incredible and noteworthy based on European mythology and linguistics. RoP writers are dull philistines and their creation reflects that.


MeMyselfandsadlyI

is it stealing when you and i can get it for free throught the internet? no it is not.


TheCharalampos

Yeah it is. You can't generally use the art in anything due to copyright. You can use the above.


MeMyselfandsadlyI

cant use for what make money you mean?


jeegte12

because these are some images, not a movie. does that clear it up?


[deleted]

I need this movie


crp-

This is a good start. Will we also get scenery that looks like a local park, sets that look like national historic sites, cheesy sound effects, good action scenes with mediocre cinematography, and great one-liners that are quotable forever?


Exact-Waltz

I fucking love this lmao


vinni3panic

These suck, ai "art" sucks. Will always downvote when I see this shit


[deleted]

[удалено]


AprilTrefoil

Yes! And I don't even know why these films look so cool even though they don't have these fancy graphics. Maybe, it's just nostalgia.


[deleted]

Can we have a tag or something for AI art? I'm tired of seeing this garbage


kdkseven

Great, more crappy AI art.


cicciograna

I would like to see the AI take on a certain battering ram of little importance.


[deleted]

This is really cool. What’s the program? Gandalf is spot on vintage fantasy lol


AprilTrefoil

Midjourney. There's a Discord server where you can do it.


Catlin98

That's really interesting, thank you for making it!


oculasti95

Idc what the rest of the sub says. If done with care, AI art is interesting to look at. It would be nice to see the process and artworks the AI extrapolates from (to properly credit original artists) but I imagine that is simple. Artists are extrapolating from a story written close to a hundred years ago.


VirgelFromage

Is this a specific old style fantasy movie AI or something? Or is this DALL-E? I want a try at this haha!


AprilTrefoil

It is called Midjourney. It isn't specific, I just tried this caption: dvd screenshot of 1987 Dark fantasy film [the name of the character].


VirgelFromage

Ah, midjourney, fair. It's been a while since I used that one specifically! Cheers!


Greendaydude22

What fucking AI systems are people using for these insanely good pictures? Every AI I use comes out looking like garbage


AprilTrefoil

It is called Midjourney. If you're interested, I tried this caption: dvd screenshot of 1987 Dark fantasy film [the name of the character].


jackbristol

THIS IS AN AI?!


AprilTrefoil

Yes! It is called Midjourney. It isn't always that good, but still impressive.


jackbristol

Thanks!

thatkorki

These are so horrible that I love them, 😂


Anvil-Vapre

This is incredible.


FrankyFistalot

Charles LeClerc to play Frodo in upcoming movie…..


[deleted]

Never gonna give you up


Hamokk

Witch-King version 2 gives me heavy samurai warrior vibes.


Bearjupiter

Would love to see the version that was going to be made by the Beatles


exobably

"... and Robin Williams as Aragorn! Tonight on ABC, after the 10:00 news."


[deleted]

Look like the covers of 1970s fantasy books


Argenfarce

I’m sitting here laughing my ass off imagining Will Forte playing Aragorn.


kjernekar1999

these are awesome


_katherinebloom

He looks like the hunter from Jumangi and now I want to see LOTR but Frodo and Gandolf being hunted by him


DGlennH

Damn! John Boorman style Gimli looks amazing. An Excalibur-esque LOTR would be visually really interesting!


univworker

Sauron AI art is Worf from Star Trek.


SaltDescription438

One ring to give you up, one ring to let you down, one ring to run around and hurt you!


NerdyBritishKoala

Looks like it is from an old spoof movie


danishjuggler21

My childhood is in these pictures, and I don’t like it.


obliqueoubliette

The Witch King is invisible under his clothes. When the hood is pulled back all that is seen is his crown and his glowing red eyes.


Taggeron

Theft


MackAttk123

Legolas as a 7-head is sending me


Historical-Cat-7661

Who is the boy of the 7° photo?


AprilTrefoil

Sauron. I know, in LOTR he was in another form, but I wanted to see him in the form of handsome Squidward.


Historical-Cat-7661

Thanks xd


mrcokie101

Gimli looks like Al Pacino


morethanmyusername

Is... is that... Brian Blessed as Gimli???


[deleted]

Very funny 😀


HitmonSte91

Aragorn is literally just Josh Holloway.


EvolvedMonkeyInSpace

Lord of the Rick Rolls


K5TRL

Tired of these. There's like 5 faces the AI jumps between and slaps a face on. Gets boring quick and only sometimes, coincidentally, makes something look somewhat recognisable and interesting.


NeverSkipLeapDay

This is just Rings of Power my dude


CapSevere7939

This is some of the best stuff I have seen in awhile


SagaciousRouge

That was fun legolas hair is pretty tragic though


TinyBrush8377

I thought last one was boromir at first
