About The Rings of Power Season 2: Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without army or ally, the rising Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will. Building on Season 1’s epic scope and ambition, Season 2 of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity. Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots… as friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all… each other.

Imagine if Peter Jackson had this budget
In this age, Jackson could never be allowed to produce the masterpiece that was LoTR. He tried again with The Hobbit, but rushed production and corporate meddling led to an inferior product.
@@NopeasaurusI think that had more to do with the demands of a short story being dragged out into a trilogy. If he had the monstrous budget of ROP he’d do something incredible
There's no amount of budget that can fix mutilating the story so much. To this day I can't fathom why these directors feel the need to change the original amazing story so much
@@Nopeasaurus he needs to rushed it, they had licensed problems and other things and not enough time to work
@Nopeasaurus I'm sure there is some circumstance where he would be able make a film on his terms. For example Quentin Tarantino has full autonomy over his pictures and how they are made
i love how they realized absolutely no one cares about the harfoots lmao
I thought the Harfoots got interesting in the end, I liked the reckoning they had with how their culture casts aside anyone that is unable to keep up with the Migration.
They weren't evil, they were pragmatic survivalists, so it was nice to see them eventually be more altruistic
I liked the harfoots, they were no elrond and durin, but a good story, plus nori is gonna turn out to be a total badass.
Just wait til you see the Stoors of Rhûn lmao
Show never was bad
I like tha Harfoots a lot. They will always be more removed from the main plot (the rings) so it will sometimes feel weird BUT it is no LOTR story without hobbits. They and their way of life are integral to the impact of the story and narrative.
They managed to turn one of the wisest characters (Galadriel) into a complete sociopath, and orcs who are by their very nature hateful, spiteful, into caring family fathers who just want to live normally without war.
Yeah they have proven that the producer and the writers of this show have their own agenda and could never have read the books. As for the Tolkien estate approving this clusterf. I guess money talks when you move down the generations and they do not have the skill of their father and grandfather.
@@Tony-yt7ll Simon Tolkien wanted Sauron to be like Walter White. The Tolkien Society had Mariana Rios Maldonado prop this garbage up. We're never going to get a "good" series.
BUT SHE IS A STRONG GURL BOSS!!!
@@ronnieronb73 fun fact about Simon: nice dude, bit of an idiot.
*"A complete sociopath?"*
That's not fair - you have not seen what she has seen.
I can’t wait for Gandalf to fly into battle riding a Harfoot!
My visuals of what you said was pretty epic ngl 😭😭
this comment will stay with me for some time
Thank you
😂😂
I nearly choked on my water laughing at this one!
I like how Galadriel tells us it's the work of Sauron, like she's an expert on him in the show, when she was fooled more than anyone.
And also didn't tell anyone Halbrand was Sauron, allowing him to somehow fool Celebrimbor with fake ears and a wig. These writers are clowns.
Exactly, she's too obsessed with Sauron. It leads to illogical decisions and its really frustrating.
@@markanderson831 That's the point in this show, but in the Silmarilian she's the one who's immediately suspicious of and not trusting of Annatar. She innately knew not to trust him, but in this show she's the one who ends up trusting him the most and pushes for him (Sauron) to become a leader lol.
@@Stratos.2yep. that’s the point
@@markanderson831 "From her earliest years she had gift of insight into the minds of others but judged them with mercy and understanding…". This quote from The fall of Numenor by Tolkien. Cate Blanchett ticked every box in Tolkien's description but Morfydd is not even trying
...Tell me where is Celeborn... ...for I much desire to speak with him...
The only name he must go by.@@meangreenmememachine2890
I can no longer see him through the bullshit
gone for good since he has read the scrip for the first season
I kept hoping he'd pop up in The Void in Deadpool and Wolverine...
@@mojoschmee9320 he was probably be like: ok this place isnt that bad
You can’t polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter 🤔
😂😂😂
@@Silfverr You have no idea how ridiculous you people sound.
@@Silfverrbro being racist for no reason
@@Silfverr wayyyyyy out of pocket, go back to /pol
and....... put a rainbow flag on it.
You know that elves are bound in marriage for eternity, with no concept of cheating or divorce. Only the elven god holds the power to dissolve such a union. For Galadriel to have feelings for another man besides her husband is utterly absurd.
Sauron is evil and a deceiver, right? Its about temptation. I mean, seriously, why would you think this is absurd or impossible? The temptation is the whole friggin' point!
@@soulsurfersteph Because Galadriel is (or should be) the Lady of Light, and a sorceress on par with the Deceiver, not some armor clad warrior swinging a sword and being duped by lustful thoughts. She's not subject to the same constraints of temptation as your human psyche is. This show is terrible.
@@soulsurfersteph Your statement suggests that you haven't really engaged with the books, but that's okay. It's clear that this show diverges significantly from the professor's original work. We'll be discussing Jackson's movies for years to come, while this show will likely fade from memory once it ends.
@@soulsurfersteph Because its impossible for her to be tempted by another man as she is married. AND NO. AT NO POINT IN THE REAL TOLKIEN DID SAURON EVER TEMP ANYON E SEXUALLY. It wasn't that kind of story at all. Tolkien would never have written something like that. Also; The real Galadriel, Lady of Light would never have touched a sword. She would never have been impatient, or coarse, or shallow. She was so pure, so loving, and so empathetic, that even her enemies standing in her presence would fall to the knees and love her. That snarky, cheap skank is NOT Galadriel. As if anyone would call that arrogant simpleton the "lady of Light".
Who is galadriel husband
The "orc - daddy" scene is undoubtedly the biggest spittle anyone has ever thrown on Tolkien's work.
This entire series is an insult to the entire work of the true and undisputed Tolkien, Lord of the Rings.
Orc Lives Matter!
Truly. Just despicable. Season One was irritating, but the scale was impressive and it was great to see some of the locales depicted on screen.
But this? Way beyond the pale. I'm out.
I thought it was weird too, but it’s not really, orcs were said to breed the same as elves and men
@@Thgoblinorcs did not have fëar from the imperishable flame, because only Ilúvatar could create life. Morgoth could not. The dwarves were originally soulless when Aulë created them, but Ilúvatar gave them souls.
Orcs do not have souls. When the Ring was destroyed, they wandered aimless and purposeless.
A better use of Amazon’s cost to make rings of power: funding a space expedition to colonize the sun
😂
👏👏
just so long as the first ship there takes all of the writers, directors, producers and actors for this sh!t show
Bezos simp spotted
@@End-Result that doesn't make any sense
My advice to the show runners. And most of you on here. Read the books. No, actually.... read the books. Obviously none of you have.
I know there are a lot of pages. I know there are big words. I know there are parts that are called poems (look up the meaning). But it's worth it. And then you will know why this show is the biggest joke ever made
@@rustytennakoon8661 Especially script writers should have read the books before they wrote scripts. Or they already read and didn't give a sh.t. There is no other explanation.
@@Caelo1984 exactly
Ummm sweaty the books are very problematic. They have too many racists tropes for this day and age. So no. Not reading that stuff
I've read the books and this show is shit.
I'll say this - leaning harder into Sauron is probably the best route for them to take at this point. Throughout LotR he kinda only exists as some existential threat that wouldn't come to pass (coz the Ring gets Melted), so I for one would like to see a LOT more of him doing the things that make him so incredibly feared.
Same
He works very well as this sort of hidden, menacing presence in Peter Jackson's trilogy but I agree, we great so see more of him. And I liked how they introduced him in season 1. He's shapeshifting demi god named "the Deceiver" (among other things). Let him deceive
He's ultimately a spirit creature who took human form. He operates mostly by influence. Physical power comes secondary to them when it comes to the physical world and rulership. We're too use to super hero movies that are all about physical power. Morgoth was more about physical power destruction because he wanted to destroy it all. Sauron wanted to preserve, persuade and rule over it.
@@nbagoats4819Because Morgoth had to face other Valar, he had to use destruction and physical power.
ruins the other worldly mystique of him
Nobody:
Annatar: I just want some help making this jewellery and later please help me sew a banner, Celebrimbor.
Too soon 🥲
Why did I laugh
Celebrimbanner is coming
I do want to see the banner. It looks like they won't shy away from the violence this season.
You mean like the banner that Arwen sewed for Aragorn and gave the Free Peoples so much hope? Right? Right?
Hats down to the executives at Amazon who made it possible to turn a masterpiece into a soap. It’s like watching a daytime television show with a budget of 10M per episodes.
Grateful they didn't use a generic edm pop song like the final S1 trailer. Small mercies.
Or the rap from Gladiator 2, lol
How about that hip hop jam they played when Yasuke assaulted those Asians.
My first reaction to the trailer: What awful music in the background! Jackson hired someone acquainted with melody and harmony. Sergio Leone hired someone with talent. Prime hired juvenile video game musical artists. Low budget generic sounds instead of music.
Doesnt sound Lotr either
@acratone8300 A) Trying to drag Bear McCreary ain't it. B) This music would have been the promo team not McCreary, and tbh it's fine.
The elves are still looking like humans with pointy ears. Yes, that is a serious problem for me, Thranduil is the peak standard for Anatar aka Sauron!
For real, when I first saw the pictures of Gil-Galad I was a bit disappointed but thought "Okay, I can work with this", but then the other designs just destroyed that hope😭
I think it's hilarious. They literally have to keep the hair back so the audience knows. And who does Don Lemon elf's hair? Do they have a hair salon in Rivendale that does fade?
Why are the elves in this show uglier than the goblins?
But, but, but....diversity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@believeyoume-nj2mtSeethe
Why Sauron looks more like an elf than all the other elfs in this show who look like normal sized hobbits
Because only evil people are straight white elves
Tolkien never specified exactly what elves look like. We get our expectations for their experience solely from the Peter Jackson films, which is not connected to this show.
i hate those Karen haircuts they couldn't afford some wigs
When they do have wigs ya'll spam "the Lord of the Wigs" lmao. Accept the fact that elves aren't clones and all look alikes like those in PJs trilogy. Have you seen elves in Tolkien artworks which were present before the films/not inspired by the films?
@@Annatar.Sauron Yet this show blatantly steals ideas(Gandalf and moths), bits of dialogues (Gandalfs ''when in doubt always follow your nose''), designs(balrogs, Sauron) from PJ's trilogy. They could aswell give the elves long hair.
TH-cam removing dislikes again. Last week the dislikes were 4 to one against, and magically this week they are neck and neck. As of today, 9/2/24, it shows 44k likes to 45k dislikes. I am calling BS.
It has 16 million views and LOTR is a top five IP.
I call b.s. as well.
I’m cheering for Sauron
He dies
@@Amp661 not in this season
Up until the final season that's going to be a good bet
@@Amp661 So does Scar but not before we get to see Mufasa get curb stomped to deaf by them wildebeasts.
Galadriel is basically a villain in this show so yeah...I don't blame you.
So beautiful how they learned nothing from what went wrong with Season 1. Amazon should cast the whole project into the fire, before it dooms us all.
So did you even watch season 2? Or even finish season 1? It's trendy to hate but this show is amazing. Long time Tolkien fan.
@@soulsurfersteph you contradict yourself with one comment , you are a liar. No fan of tolkien likes this trash.
@@soulsurfersteph Yep, watching it and wasted hours of my live I can never get back. Poor acting with an even worse script
@@soulsurfersteph is a disgrace, season 2 is getting worse than season 1

what a sad parody of what could have been the best series ever made. :(
😂😂
Watched first 3 episodes. What an absolute travesty and insult to Tolkien's legacy.
Why does it increasingly feel like this is a tragic love-hate story between galadriel and sauron..😬😐
The two actors had good chemistry in the first season. I'm willing to see where they take it.
No, it's not.
It's a fanfic show already, so I don't mind them going the enemies to lovers to enemies route anymore
@@bl687You have a weird view of good chemistry
It's just as stupid as Sauron and sexy Shelob being in love hate relationship....a bunch of bullcrap :) from video game Shadow of War.
Orc family? I despise everyone involved in this decision.
you took the work of a great author and ... perverted it in one of the worst way possible.
Orklarin uredikleri çocukları olduğu doğrudur ama böyle aile babası mı olurlar sanmıyorum. Spartalilar filmindeki insanlar hatta vikingler bile muhtemelen orklar kadar çocuklarına şefkatli yaklasmiyordu. Kendinden bile nefret eden bir tür çocuğu bu kadar nasıl sevebilir.
An insult to Tolkien and an insult to Anglo-Saxon culture
There are people who think the screenplay and script will be good. This is the work of Sauron.
Sauron also works at CNN.
Hey don't compare Sauron's magnificent works to this... stuff
there are also people that think Kamala Harris actually has a plan.... some people are just meant to be ruled
Honestly, this show is the reason I cancelled my Prime subscription and never ordered from Amazon since. So good job!
😂
Too bad, season 2 is amazing so far and you are missing out.
@@soulsurfersteph ive seen how many comments ur responded to defending this dumpster fire of a show and i can only stop to ask you: Are they paying you? Cus i really cant find any other reason to defend this show if you are a tolkien fan who has read the books and understands Tolkiens vision of Middle Earth and his philosophy
@@soulsurfersteph agree. Can't wait for 4th episode ^^ Maybe story is different from books, but who cares. I'm enjoying it
@@soulsurfersteph The sad thing is you're actually serious. Season 2 has been trash
This whole writer and production team should be brought in for crimes against humanity
only if they sponsor Gaza.
But... I like this.
The UN won't even bring Gaza in for Crimes Against Humanity and they broadcasted the attack and depravity themselves.
@@ingakarolak6144That's fine, no one else would mind it so much either if they didn't use Tolkien's IP. If this was just a random fantasy series it probably would be okay-ish. But they clearly wanted to make their own fantasy and shoehorned middle earth around it for sales, which waters down and numbs peoples understanding of one of the greatest classic literature pieces of all time. It's insulting and unnecessary, and the blow back they're getting is well earned.
At least we have the books and the movie trilogy. The movies really were lightning in a bottle, I don't think anyone will ever replicate that kind of success again with anything related to Tolkien's work.
Why is 1080p so blurry on TH-cam these days
you have to change setting from auto (1080p) to only 1080p, in auto its only 480p :))

Even though Beleriand was sunk and Feanor and his sons are dead. Celebrimbor (The last descendant of Feanor's bloodline) can't escape the curse his grandfather did. I hope we see Celebrimbor's body used as a banner by Sauron during this War against the Elves during the Second Age.
Maglor's maybe alive!
@@esayzgy Tolkien's LotR and post-LotR writings state or imply he is dead. Throws himself into the sea with the Silmaril.
@@Tar-Elenion Nah bro - he tosses it into the sea and he then just walks up and down the shore and sings laments in penance.
@@ritvikbonam3439 That is in some of the pre-LotR variants.
Tolkien changed it:
"The last two sons of Feanor, compelled by their oath, steal them, and are destroyed by them, casting themselves into the sea, and the pits of the earth."
Letter 131
"The other two Silmarils were also taken by the Valar from the crown of Morgoth. But the last surviving sons of Feänor (Maedros and Maglor), in a despairing attempt to carry out the Oath, stole them again. But they were tormented by them, and at last they perished each with a jewel: one in a fiery cleft in the earth, and one in the sea."
Concerning... The Hoard
Maglor's death is also implied:
"The sons of Eärendil were Elros and Elrond, the Peredhil or Half-elven. In them alone the line of the heroic chieftains of the Edain in the First Age was preserved; and after the fall of Gil-galad the lineage of the High-elven Kings was also in Middle-earth only represented by their descendants."
LotR, App. A
"The question Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva? and the question at the end of her song (Vol. I, p. 389), What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?, refer to the special position of Galadriel. She was the last survivor of the princes and queens who had led the revolting Noldor to exile in Middle-earth."
RGEO
"Galad occurs also in the epessë of Ereinion (‘scion of kings') by which he was chiefly remembered in legend, Gil-galad ‘star of radiance’: he was the last king of the Eldar in Middle-earth, and the last male descendant of Finwë except Elrond the Half-elven."
PoMe, Shibboleth of Feanor
@@ritvikbonam3439 That is in the pre-LotR variants.
Later Tolkien changed it and said Maglor perished. See Letter 131, The Lay of Leithien Recommenced, Concerning the Hoard (et.al.).
When Sauron yelled out "Blood of the blood God!!" that was peak Tolkien. Very respectful of the lore.

SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!! - Galadriel in episode 5, probably.
It's truly amazing they were stupid enough to make a second season of this.
they still plan to make 5
Celebrimbor's fate is going to ruin me
What exactly will happen to him? I want spoilers
@@phelinx623 They killed him. then his body used as a banner during war.
@@phelinx623 He gets captured by Sauron, tortured until he dies, then his body is shot with arrows and he gets hung on a pole and later paraded around as a banner when Sauron attacks the Grey Havens
The age restriction of the series was raised from +13 to +18. This was most likely to show the horror of this event, which is one of the most brutal events in Middle Earth. However, I cannot worry about Celebrimbor like you do. Because Celebrimbor was unfortunately shown as too naive and weak in this series. It was not enough to establish a connection with the audience.
@@SuperThisen @yigitaslan6528 oh damn, thanks.

Bence iptal edilmemeli. Bu benim için bir komedi dizisi. Daha fazla amerikan asker traşli ve Afrikalı elf görmek istiyorum.
Calling all your critics racist and sexist isn’t the best strategy, how about making a good show with good writing and do right by Tolkien’s work. Halbrand is terrible, Galadriel being a warrior is dumb, Adar is dumb, the numenorian plot is dumb, the way Mordor was created was the biggest nightmare I’ve ever seen. Sauron’s body being destroyed by a crown and some orcs is laughable. The fight scenes make no sense. The making of the rings is backwards. Elrond is not Elrond anymore. Elendil is suppose to be 8 feet tall and all the other numenoreans are suppose to be tall. The reinforcement of Galadriel meeting Halbrand on a boat in the middle of the sea is lazy. The metaphors are repurposed or terrible. Whoever the writers are should be ashamed of how bad they are at their jobs. If normal people butchered a project this bad they would all be fired. It makes no sense how a butchered billion dollar project has no ramifications.
Agreed this show has been an absolute disgrace/disaster.
It's cool and all but why does Celebrimbor still look like my uncle John instead of a skilled and proud descendant of a Feanorian?
He is skilled and proud. He just looks too old in comparison to Galadriel, that's all.
Why doesn’t the best elfin smith know what an alloy is?
@@jimhenegan6751 Of course he knows what alloys are. But he has an almost religious respect for Mithril and _that's_ the real problem. He treats it like an idol and this is the weakness that Sauron will use for his deception. Tolkien wrote: "Sauron found their weak point in suggesting that, helping one another, they could make Western Middle-earth as beautiful as Valinor. It was really a veiled attack on the gods, an incitement to try and make a separate independent paradise. ...and the Elves came their nearest to falling to ’magic’ and machinery." (J.R.R. Tolkien, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, Letter 131 to Milton Waldman)
Looks like aunt Martha.

Later please.. the next 3 series coming 🙌
@blyhiking8392 yeah, and he uses his ring during those plot points. The Witch-king is gonna be prominent in season 4 according to showrunners. Sauron has the ring on Númenor and he uses it to reform his body after the fall. There's no time to wait around for the Lord of the Rings to craft his master ring. That would be incredibly dumb.

Also, you do realize not the entire world read the Tolkien books, so copying word for word what the books says is not that important as much as delivering a good product.
And whoever says this show is bad entertainment doesn't know what they are talking about.
The House of Dragons trailers, which were released like 5 and 9 months ago have 11 M and 10M views and then you look at the numbers for The Rings of Powers, so yeah calling this a season to cancel says you have 0 idea what you are talking about.
@@ZafrasF First: it was a satire with reference to Tolkien's writings about The One Ring that i made. Second: Negative publicity is the fact that people say your product is bad. And most people have made that clear about this bad series. Third: In addition to not delivering what Tolkien fans expect, they haven't even delivered anything worthy of entertainment, even though people are trying hard to abstract the idea that this series is “inspired” by Tolkien, at least pure fact of being bad, having bad characters, lacking charisma, arrogant, that no one cares if they die or live, with worlds that don't awaken any feelings in people, with a story that doesn't create any bond, bond or cause worth defending. Ruined plots, dialogues and arcs.

@@soulsurfersteph TROLL ALERT....Soulsurfer is trolling this comment section.....spoiler alert - he's Sauron!
It's too bad. Is not only a bad interpretation of the source material, it's also a series with a very forced political agenda underneath (actually is not subtle). If they want to press ideology through films, sure, but use freaking new stories. Don't feed on a remarkable story, only for profit or to indulge in your moralistic obsessions... bad...
Orcs were born out of the earth and only male. This show has a orc with a wife and baby. This has to be one of the dumbest shows I've seen and the writers think they can tell a better story than Tolkien. Truly garbage.
Orc daddy does it for me. Total garbage. I'm out.
Dostum yanlış bilgi. Orklar morgoth eli ile elflerden donusturuldu ve yozlastirildi. Topraktan yaratılmadı. Ayrica Tolkien ork hanımları olduğunu tabii ki onların da uredigini söylüyor bu doğru fakat bu dizideki gibi değil. Orklar orta sınıf amerikali ailesi gibi değil.

Wait, waaaait did I really see a Galadriel working together with Orcs? Please lord have mercy..
new sauron looks like he fresh out the suburbs household with 2dogs and 3kids😭
this could very well still be terrible but genuinely this looks a LOT better than the season 1 trailers ever did. hope they took the criticism to heart and made a better season this time. would love to see this show actually redeem itself
It looks way worse imo
Came here to say this. If you go back and watch the first Season's trailer compared to this, you can get a sense of the course corrections they seem to have made. Of course a trailer can get edited into various impressions, but some things like the set lighting, camera work and the apparent approval of these editing choices as representative of the show - it all looks more promising than the first season. First season trailer is as hard to watch as the first season. I'm hopeful for this one!
@@zacklarez na this looks even worse than S1
It’s hard for me to have ANY faith that these show runners improved anything. Have they suddenly grown some respect for Tolkien and his work? Doubtful…..
Don't count on it. This show is a complete disgrace.
It is crazy how all the movies look more and more like each other... Same pace, same colours, same energy... it's exhausting! No more 7th Art...
Trailer Editors and Producers - Please stop putting the whole storyline in the trailer.
They have to, otherwise it will be talking and then you'll see the cracks…
That's probably all the semi decent scenes they had.
I’m sure writers learned a lot from season one 🙄
S2 was already written before S1 aired. So whatever you'll see had already been planned years ago
@@alexpeter1 Oh god then its gonna get even worse
@@bentlohse1715 "How do you move on? You move on when your heart finally understands that there is no turning back."
It's ogre. The original trilogy is all we have left at this point.
And the books of course.
Biggest spoiler we know that galdrial and elarond are not going to die

1:32 IT'S SARUMANNN!!!!
What’s he doing in rhun?
A few years too early like the rest of the story
Saruman ilk gonderildiginde kötü değildi ki. Gerçi neyi sorguluyorum bu dizi sacmalik her şeyi yapabilirler. Muhtemelen onu saruman değil cadı kral yapacaklar ama
@@furkangungor209 Or Kamul, thats my best guess aswell
The first season started by saying Sauron was their lord, now it says he never was? The first episodes of both seasons contradict each other lmao
I had the same thought although not based on the same thing. Which is:
This totally retcons Season 1. At the beginning, Galadriel & the squad found all these misshapen orcs. Meddling in powers of the Unseen World. In Episode 6, Adar says that Sauron experimented on the orcs over & over to gain 'power not of flesh, but over flesh'. Until Adar couldn't take anymore of his 'children' being tortured & killed and 'killed' Sauron.
Very 1st episode of Season 2: Morgoth has JUST been defeated. Sauron asks the orcs to follow him, one orc attacks him, and he kills that orc. Then shouts that they should follow him (it's like a teen trying to assert his power at the adults' meeting because he doesn't know how to express it naturally). Kneels to be crowned, Adar wounds him by jabbing the crown in the back of this neck/general head area... and then watches as the orcs all kill Sauron. No time passed, no orcs experimented on or tortured or killed (except the attack orc), and Adar didn't actually kill him. Why can't modern shows ever remember their own story or story lore?!
Even as someone who loved Lord of the rings, I'm struggling to care about this.
Anyone who has actually liked or loved or fancied Lord of the Rings, does not care about this.
Because we love the og LoTR, thats the reason we hate this new show.
Its nothing but pander politics and DEI hires.
Tolkien is spinning in his grave
The Return of the Cringe
Still shit.This series is completely disrespectful to the books and to true Tolkien fans. Adapting is one thing, inventing crap is another thing entirely.
It's great to have PJ movies and books to enjoy.
precisely. I couldn't make it past S1 ep 6 of this dreck, but will likely happily return to see it thru Gandalf's "roasting" eyes as it is inflicted on the world, lol.
Too bad, because you are missing out. Season 2 is great so far!
@@soulsurfersteph That's not what I've heard. A lot of people are pissed off about this series. I'm already aware of all the absurd and ridiculous things they're doing. I'm a fan of the books and the movies, I would NEVER enjoy watching this crap. ^^ If you like it, good for you. =)
@@julianakarina1951What absurd and ridiculous things? Any big TH-camr just hates on rop because its popular to hate on it, literally saying the show is boring as if house of the dragon wasnt an even bigger snooze fest that got praised for it
@@julianakarina1951 You ain't missing anything, season 2 has been awful. Don't waste your time.
why tf is durins bane here if the sacking/ destruction of khazad dum is in the third age
because they don't care about the lore (so not a Tolkien series)
They are using Time Compression to move all the exciting things together into one story. If they can move the Creation of the Rings and the Siege of Eregion back thousands of years to the end of the 2nd Age, then they also can move Durin's Bane and Gandalf forward thousands of years. It is the adaption difference between films/TV and books.
...i very much agree with you! Yet there were other fallen angels other then durins bane...
@@noahunsworth1290 The only thing that's compressed here is the Titanic submarine
The showrunners have never read a single line of Tolkien's work.
Though this series has been receiving the utmost criticisms, the portrayal of Annatar (Sauron) here is on point. He's the only reason why I watch the ROP.
1:18 This guy is crying for all of us
Speak for yourself, moron
Please let it be good please let it be good please let it be good
guess what, it won't
Probably a very very mixed bag like last season
I just hope the writing will be at least decent.
@@ThePatboy98 Oh thanks for your opinion since you are someone of such high stature.. (sarcasm)
@@aralifefarming shut up and consume your slop npc
@@aralifefarming - @ThePatBoy98 is correct though..it will not be good.
Stop making these all you’re doing is making real fans of Tolkien hate you more than they already do.
Perfect example of why cousins shouldn’t marry .
Poor celebrimbor 😢
Nah I'm sure he'll be FINE
Poor Tolkien
If only the show managed to depict him in better way!!! Heck the show made a joke out of the Celebrimbor!!! The worst casting choice, the awful design of the character who should be a fair young looking charismatic elf-lord! And hell he should be THE central character in the story! Celebrimbor is a tragic figure...but the show's depiction leaves much MUCH to be desired!
@@fantasywind3923i don't see the joke, the character looks really tragic to me in this trailer.
@fantasywind3923 casting a classically trained stage actor as Celebrimbor probably wouldn't have bothered Tolkien. Also the Shadow Of Mordor Celebrimbor has about as much to do with book Celebrimbor than this Celebrimbor...
What confuses me is why is Amazon making five seasons of this show if its done so poorly with the critical reception and general public? Are they just making this show for themselves?
I feel like I watched the entire show with this trailer
Every show is like watching a full length movie. Our family is quite enjoying it.
Much agreed! I love how family-friendly it is (some of the orc violence aside of course), no pointless degeneracy thrown in there.
“Instead of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen, not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Tempestuous as the sea, and stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me and despair!”
Imagine making a series so bad it's not even worth pirating... just ignore them LOL
1:32 Is that Saruman? Looks awfully like him
They definitely made this character look like a younger version of Saruman, but it’s not possible, he should not be there, it’s too early for wizards. They arrived in the third age.
@@Urgastbold of you to assume they care about lore
@@Urgast Isildur shouldn't be there too, but there he is. It's adaptation, they don't follow the book's chronology. That man from 1 season is a Gandalf, and man from the trailer is a Saruman, just accept it and live with it.
looks like isildur
This is what I thought???
I love that the elves act as though the stakes are high, when in fact the worst case scenario for them is that they either magically teleport to an idyllic paradise if they get killed by Sauron’s armies or they avoid getting killed altogether and just hop on a boat and sail west to paradise. Either way, the stakes are very low for them no matter what happens.
They don't want to leave Middle-earth.
You could end up like Celebrimbor, tortured and used up as a banner
You apply human rationale to an elven psyche.
@@danrono9725 ...or worse, Celembor, cuckolded by the Lord of Darkness...
Even if I had nothing bad to say about the series, I am sure I would never stop watching these three movies.
The movies are great. The shows are DEI hires.
the OG Trilogy is legendary, a testament to the directors taking the source material seriously. This show? Hubris. They thought they could work around or better than Tolkien. Morons.
Looks really good! Will anyone be watching this? 😅
It's all fun and games until you think that it's Gandalf but actually it's Saruman 😂✌️
Its some bearded meteor hobo.
I know yall are pissed by the disguise but he did disguise himself in the books at least it's accurate 😂but it does look better than season 1
He disguises himself AFTER revealing himself to Galadriel and AFTER forging the three elven rings. That makes ZERO sense. The disguise was Sauron’s way of getting the elves to trust him and forge the rings of power. That’s why it makes no sense to disguise himself after he has already told them how to forge the rings. I mean he’s already got the elves to do what he wanted as Halbrand, why attempt such a dumb and lazy disguise? Are the elves effing stupid?
@@daWatcherhe didn't forge 3 Rings but Celebrimbor did.
Celebrimbor had no idea he is Sauron. Galadriel knows. But she will meet Sauron in episode 8.
Celebrimbor knows Halbrand and Annatar are same guy.
So stop coping grifters propaganda
@@sauron5666 Why didn't she tell him? The elven rings are supposed to be made last without Sauron knowing.
@@lennysmileyface Its just classic shitty writing. If the drama of a situation is derived from one character not telling another one simple thing it would resolve the problem. They can't do it.
@@Lordoftheramble Yeah they ruined the story by doing everything backwards. Now they are trying to fix it with more nonsense.
this season is gonna close some big troll mouth lmao
So they’re gonna drive Celebrimbor insane… I like it. It’s very Sauron. I really want this show to succeed
An object lesson in how not to adapt a classic story.
you haven’t even seen this season. until you have, your take has zero credibility.
@@sethd6485 To see it you have to pay Amazon. Fools are happy to do that though. Speaking of...
@@sethd6485 guys, the moment we’ve been waiting for sethd6485 has spoken! Dude we don’t even need to see it, they already completely butchered the lore in the first season. Not to mention the terrible acting and dialogue, “The sea is always right!” Pure cringe man.
@@sethd6485 You haven’t seen the new season either, by your logic your own opinion has no credibility.
I hope it's not as disappointing as House of the Dragon.
Obviously it will be 😂
only the fools hope!
hope this will fail, a same as acylote failed
I know all the LOTR/Hobbit sagas are done, it may not be true to the nature of Tolkien but it gives me something to look forward to watching. I just love the background, the production, cinematography, its still something hopeful. I also think its good too.
Charlie Vickers looks absolutely magnificent as Annatar.
with that cheapo wig?
The power of 1 female director.
The power of 2 female directors.
The power of many.
:D
Amazon NEEDS TO REMAKE LOTR AND THE HOBBIT. I want to see Frodo and Sam really “explore” their “friendship”. Show us an Aragorn that is Asian. Elves with olive and darker skin tones. Also, why is Gandalf white and wearing a white cloak while the Baddies are always Black? The original movies don’t make me feel safe
0:45 What is that???
Wights.
Sauron is 'The Necromancer' after all
The Barrow-Wights
@@Tar-Míriel thank you:)
@@Yann.Dionne thank you:)
Pretenders gonna pretend
We can only hope it is better than the first season.
It's not :(
@@sparklinglotus Oh dear lord. Stop the world, I want to get off.
Season 1 Galadriel: Searching for Sauron with Sauron
Season 2 Galadriel: Searching for Sauron without Sauron
As a life long Tolkien enthusiast, this is an absolute disgrace of a series. They are forever trying to tie Tolkiens universe to modernity in a vague and simplistic way. What a shit show.
Please cancel this show. Thanks
Amen.
Amazon elfs are looked like a bunch of Californians with emotinal issues.
