    Charlie Hopkinson is a comedic impressionist, impersonator, voice guy, whatever you want to call it who specialises in voices from current television shows and films. His standup is a character act about a retired maths teacher, his standup set includes impressions of Sir David Attenborough, Robin Williams, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Peaky Blinders, Tommy and Arthur Shelby and Gandalf from Lord of the Rings.
    Always looking to update my roster I look to try out subscriber suggested impressions in the impressions challenge series before honing the best ones. Recently I have added Peaky Blinders and Marvel / Avengers characters to my arsenal!
    I currently run a number of series including:
    Impression Reels - The very best impressions I can do, Including LOTR, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Peaky Blinders, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Cartoons .etc
    Impression Challenges - Trying out new impressions in a less polished form.
    Impression Dramatic song covers - Voices of Reason.
    Low Budget Animation - Stickman sketch remakes of Iconic Tv shows and movies.
    How to do Impressions - An audience lead tutorial series where I attempt to pass on my Impressions knowledge.
    Dubs - Comedic dubs of iconic scenes with new dialogue, (My Peaky Blinders and Lord of The Rings dubs have grossed over 6 million views on Facebook)
    Standup - Clips from Standup sets I have performed over the last year.
    Comedy Sketches - Comedy Sketches
    I started learning impressions in 2012, at the age of 20. You can follow my full impressions journey in my new ‘How to do impressions’ tutorial series
    After graduating from the University of Warwick in the summer 2013 he took 4 months out to concentrate on CZcams videos full time, including producing his most viewed video to date ‘Morgan Freeman and 40 other impressions’ with just over 12 million views. This foray into being a ‘full time CZcamsr’ was cut short as he went travelling for 3 months before starting a 2 year teaching Graduate scheme with Charity ‘Teach First’.
    While teaching he has performed in and narrated the 4 episode series ‘Lookalikes’ as Morgan Freeman. The show and the narration received a positive reception. The show aired on Channel 4 during the prime time slot of Friday 10pm for three weeks. It is now currently available on Netflix. Charlie also performed with other well known impressionists for an unaired pilot.
    Charlie has worked for several prominent brands in relation to their products, including google and formula 1.
    Since the summer of 2016 Charlie has once again dived into the world of CZcams, for the first time producing content on a weekly basis. He is also focusing on live performance; he has performed in live venues a total of 3 times to date.
    His top impressions include:
    Morgan Freeman (Red -Shawshank redemption)
    Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf - Lord of the Rings)
    Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman - Breaking Bad)
    Alan Rickman (Snape - Harry Potter)
    Michael Caine (Alfred - Batman)
    Jon Snow (Game of Thrones)
    Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Carribean)
    Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained, Inglorious bastards)
    Alec Guiness (Ben Kenobi - Star Wars)
    Agent Smith (The Matrix)
    Sean Bean (Boromir - Lord of the Rings)
    Richard Armitage (Thorin Oakenshield - The Hobbit)
    Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister - Game of Thrones)
    Tyrion Lannister (Game of Thrones)
    Bryan Cranston (Walter White - Breaking Bad)
    Frank Underwood (House of Cards)
    Tommy Shelby (Peaky Blinders)

    Gandalf wearing shorts is the perfect outfit, befitting of the caliber of the work he is critiquing.
    Elrond discusses with Celebrimbor how torn he is feeling, about the possibility of breaking his oath with Prince Durin, by revealing the existence of Mithril to others, especially King Gil-galad, who has questioned Elrond about it, all while literally breaking his oath to Durin, by admitting Mithril's existence to Celebrimbor and showing him the sample piece he was permitted to keep.

    I've thought about why Elrond didn't fight Isildur that day he had the chance to destroy the ring.
    I think the most obvious reason might be that it could have caused a war between elves and humans. After the death of his father, Isildur was king, after all.
    Since Sauron was no immediate threat anymore (I mean, it took him 5000 years to make his move after his defeat that day), fighting over the ring might not have gone well with everyone involved.
    And with how short lived humans are in comparison to elves, Elrond probably thought there'd be plenty of time to take care of it later. But the ring got lost.

      I always assumed Isildur WORE the ring to escape in short order. A guy like Old Elrond would have killed Isildur, and submitted himself to punishment at human hands. The guy was basically an apathetic christ-figure until this show decided to write him as a half-wit.

      I think it was moreso that Isildur was a direct living descendent of Elrond's brother Elros and he couldn't bring himself to destroy a part of the family he lost

    This is pure Comedic gold. Well done! Ned is a great touch. "Proper classy Rohirim"... fucking Hilarious! It refects the random irrational nonsense we see throughout Rings of Power. "People seem to be just doing stuff for no reason"...exactly! It's as though a bunch of 8-year-olds wrote the script. This is even more devastating to Amazon than the ridiculing/mocking reviews other channels are doing. Absolutely brilliant! Amazon is panicking...we are seeing heavy promotion everywhere...on buses...During NFL games...everywhere. They are spending multi-millions trying to salvage this pile of shit and it won't work.

    • @TheZapan99

      Did you notice Galadriel's horrible wrap-around dress in this scene? It was designed specifically to look like the chest binders used by trans women to have a flat chest.
      They purposefully make her bossy and aggressive because they want to promote those as good qualities for a woman to have.
      Since the beginning of the show their Galadriel is trans-coded. She literally starts wearing armor after ripping her brother's "dagger" from his cold, dead hands.

      @@TheZapan99 Screenrant on September 19 said that the Galadriel in The Rings of Power is comparable to an eight year old. How's that for creepy? In Tolkien's lore Celeborn, Galadriel's husband names her "Galadriel." Here the writers have Finrod, her brother, name her. But brothers don't have dominion over sisters, only fathers and husbands have that dominion. This goes back to Genesis 2.19 "Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. Genesis 2.20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field." In Genesis 2.23 the man names his newly created companion "woman." Care to guess what the man and the woman do next? What did Finrod and Galadriel do after Frinrod names her?
      I agree with you about Galadriel's costume.
