The effects look good, but the story still doesn't make a lick of sense. Sauron hasn't made the One Ring yet, so he can't control the other rings, which he did not make. He also didn't deceive Galadriel last season. He literally revealed himself, dumped her in a river, and then she pretended it didn't happen and allowed the rings to be forged. And of course everyone knows what Sauron looks like now. They could've avoided this by either just following the actual lore or by casting a new actor for Sauron in S2...but they chose the goofiest option--a wig and pointy ears--an unforced error that unravels the whole plot.
To be fair, he still might have influence over the other rings as he contributed to the fundamental formula behind their creation. The One merely magnified that influence.
@@goldengriffon I'm not being rude but that is head canon. It's stated pretty definitively that he needs the One to control the other Great Rings. During the subsequent events of the third age/war of the Ring he isn't even able to locate the elven three, let alone wield any degree of power over them at all. He absolutely needs the One to do this.
Celebrimbor will know that Halbrand and Annatar are the same being. He will confess that he is a Maia and that he is an emissary of the Valar, saying that Annatar is his true form.

Entwives, Blue Wizards, Tom Bombadil, Sauron as Annatar... they really are trying to pull everything onto the screen with this one. It almost removes the veil of mystery and wonder about these elements of Tolkien's work.
All these "looks better than first season", "finally a season that's actually about the rings" comments 🤦🏾♂️ Is it that you guys dont understand or you are just purposely ignoring the fact that season 1 was just setting up the whole story or what And it did end with the first 3 rings being forged, so whats all the fuss about.

I hope they actually contribute to the story in this season, last season they were just doing their own thing and never once added to the main story of the show.
I think i'll keep skipping them in season 2, there's not really anything to make them interesting without a 180 degree turn on their background and attitude.
@@baconking2745 they actualy should not be doing anything important becouse for one and half of Age the hobbits should be totaly "under the radar" of Dark lords :) if not the Evil powers would have been able to buldozed them too early.
The “original elves” would never ever ever use the rings once they knew the rings have anything to do with Sauron. In the books once they realized it’s Sauron who made them they literally took them off and never used them again after until Sauron was killed. I could write a 50 page essey about all the wrong things I spotted just in this trailer. Don’t tell me it’s a movie and it’s different narration and interpretation. One thing is to bend the story and second is to change the entire Lore of the universe.
Technically, Celebrimbor made the rings, not Sauron - the latter actually had no influence on the three. That said, I agree with you in that if the elves know Sauron himself was involved with them from the get go, they'd never have worn them. This is why the whole Halbrand BS was so harmful to the entire show.
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
Fun fact, George Lucas got the inspired lightsabers from the Fellowship of the Ring. When he read the book it was Gandalf holding a blue sword against the Balrog holding a red.
Honestly .. because Amazon made it look like a Bold & The beautiful episode, storywise .. it feels like a shallow interpretation. I was hoping for something spectacular, or something that touches the ‘tone’ of the books(or films). It just looks generic fantasy. To me it just feels mhew. What a waste.
@@gordontaylor4184Well the blue wizard makes much more sense than Saruman. Even though they arrived on boat as well, their lack of a story would make it excusable to make their arrival at middle earth more dramatic like it was for this character. Also they are in the east, and as such it would make more sense that he would be a blue wizard instead of any other of the Istari.
@@gordontaylor4184 it shouldn't be any of them...none of the Wizards show up till the Third Age (TA 1000)...this is still in the Second Age (the three Rings are made in SA 1500)
Sauron: ahh, you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLeindning!!
„Now Celebrimbor was not corrupted in heart or faith, but had accepted Sauron as what he posed to be; and when at length he discovered the existence of the One Ring he revolted against Sauron, and went to Lórinand to take counsel once more with Galadriel. They should have destroyed all the Rings of Power at this time, "but they failed to find the strength." (Unfinished Tales, The History of Galadriel and Celeborn, page 256) Celebrimbor was just a silly boy who played "curiosity killed the cat"
So which one is the idiot here? Sauron for thinking Celebrimbor won't recognize him or Celebrimbor for apparently not recognizing him? I'm guessing it's both.
@PurpleSidewalk1 The way they set the story up in season one is the problem. It's like they are trying to tell the real story now (at least to some degree) but it doesn't work because of what happened in season 1.
I'm going to be completely honest, but I honestly thought the trailer had somehow glitched to a Star Wars segment. The Sand People really confused me because, as far as I know, they aren't in Tolkien's books.
@@ocean_sapphire I had to go check the mask to make sure I really saw it before. I did damn it . They're now just stealing props from other franchises. What a bunch of talentless uncreative and just horrible people these show runners are.
Still not confirmed it's Gandalf. It's probably a blue wizard Tolkien mentioned how the Blue wizards actions in the east help the men of west defeat Sauron.Seeing as we have the priestesses of Morgoth in Rhun I think he will be tasked with dealing with things in the east.
@@terrancehylton-lyons1776 He literally quotes Gandalf from the fellowship of the ring movie. Not the book the movie. He was written as Gandalf but im sure they will change it if they want. Like everything else.
@@ThomasSmart-i2vIt actually shows nothing (there was even interview with showrunners about this quote) and I also think that he is Blue Wizard, because it is confirmed that the new Istar will appear in this season (played by Ciaran Hinds), so they both really can Blue Wizards P.S. or they are Gandalf and Saruman… I hope not
Amazing how "he deceived me" but "this ring the man who deceived me made with the intention to use it to enslave everyone won't decieve me though, I'll put it on and believe whatever it shows me" :)
Umm...that's exactly what Tolkien wrote about Sauron and the Rings of Power. „Now Celebrimbor was not corrupted in heart or faith, but had accepted Sauron as what he posed to be; and when at length he discovered the existence of the One Ring he revolted against Sauron, and went to Lórinand to take counsel once more with Galadriel.

@@anni.68 Oh ya and I clearly remember reading the books and how a quarter of the characters were described as the gamer word proving Tolkien intended it to be mass migration from Africa type of multiculture all across European-esque middle Earth.
@@bulbasaurbrutal5137 You confuse Tolkien's stories with his worldbuilding. Asia and Africa are part of Middle-earth. The Elves awoke in Cuivienen, aka the area of modern day Iraq. 2/3 of the Elves migrated into Europe, 1/3 did not go into the west. They are the Avari. Nobody knows what happended to them and were they went. Arondir could very well be a descendent of Avari Elves from the South. Disa could also be from a southern House of Dwarves. The modern day mixture of Hobbits is of course nonsense.
I thought Season 1 was good. Still don't understand fully all the bad feedback. But this new season seems so much better, I hope all the negative feedback had an influence :) Either ways, can't wait :)
Rings of Power is about the hubris of corporate greed twisting and distorting a precious work by a man(whose integrity was his character, and never would have allowed this abomination) into something evil.
They lack so much talent hahaha. They don't know how to pick the right actors ,they don't know how to create their characters and most of all they don't know to write dialogs. End of story , goodnight.
The Lord of The Wigs. This is just AWFUL. How come a wig can deceive Galadriel who literally has magic powers and can tell good from evil inside people's minds? This is so bad. So bad... Oh my... This is so unbelievably bad. I thought they couldn't break Tolkien's world any more than in the first season, but YES, THEY CAN make characters and story dumber. There are amazing book adaptations, okay adaptations, bad adaptations, awful adaptations and Rings of Power. What still makes me feel good is that this series will be forgotten as fast as it tried to destroy Middle Earth.
@@NadeineAndFabio Hollywood refers to the entertainment industry. And everything is woke and DEI enforced. Alot of the writing is shit as well. Not the same people anymore.
@@anni.68 Well you know the book that the show is supposed to be based on?!?! As for the first part of your question there's too many to count, here just some: that's not how the ring are created, the balrog is not awake in this era, the wraith are created way after this by the witchking of angmar, sauron did not turn evil because he got rejected by galadriel, Tom bombadil is a higher being and does not intervine in the story at all (He is actively kept out of the fellowhip because deemed too careless, since he is not attached to what happens around him)....and I could go on for hours
You know they're limited as to what they can write about, by the Tolkien Estate, right? They can only elaborate on what was mentioned in the movies. They're doing what they can with what they've got. Wights exist beyond the Barrow Downs. Balrogs went into hiding after the first age. Just because ones awake, doesn't mean he'll immediately destroy Moria. The dwarves have only just discovered mythril. There could be an ongoing war with Durins Bane over mining rights for centuries. Like the Stanger, Tom may not be all he appears to be as yet. I can't wait to find out.
@@malalford being limited in what they ca use does not mean they have to invent parts or change the story you do realize that right? Also they just can’t use some names or they need to pay warner brothers money. Stop finding excuses for a poorly written show.
@@WretchMusou There are very few acutal changes. Additions are of course not a problem, especially not for the Second Age. "Do not laugh! But once upon a time (my crest has long since fallen) I had a mind to make a body of more or less connected legend, ranging from the large and cosmogonic, to the level of romantic fairy-story (....) I would draw some of the great tales in fullness, and leave many only placed in the scheme, and sketched. The cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave scope for other minds and hands, wielding paint and music and drama." (J.R.R. Tolkien, Letter 131) „Amazon has a relatively free hand when it comes to adding something, since, as I said, very few details are known about this time span. The Tolkien Estate will insist that the main shape of the Second Age is not altered...All this, the course of history, must remain the same. But you can add new characters and ask a lot of questions, like: What has Sauron done in the meantime? Where was he after Morgoth was defeated? Theoretically, Amazon can answer these questions by inventing the answers, since Tolkien did not describe it. But it must not contradict anything which Tolkien did say. That’s what Amazon has to watch out for. It must be canonical, it is impossible to change the boundaries which Tolkien has created, it is necessary to remain “tolkienian”...the Tolkien Estate keeps a very careful eye on everything and is quite capable of saying no. They retain a veto over everything that concerns Tolkien." (Tom Shippey)
I didn’t liked much season 1, and I don’t expect this one to be lore accurate. Still, looks kind of better than the first one. I will continue watching if at least is entertaining or interesting in any way.

The effects look good, but the story still doesn't make a lick of sense. Sauron hasn't made the One Ring yet, so he can't control the other rings, which he did not make. He also didn't deceive Galadriel last season. He literally revealed himself, dumped her in a river, and then she pretended it didn't happen and allowed the rings to be forged. And of course everyone knows what Sauron looks like now. They could've avoided this by either just following the actual lore or by casting a new actor for Sauron in S2...but they chose the goofiest option--a wig and pointy ears--an unforced error that unravels the whole plot.
The fact that Sauron is just an ordinary dude is so disappointing icl
Bro ancient times don't have a camera nor picture lol. They just have sketches of a person. Same shit in medieval fiction also.
Sauron had a hand in making the nine and the seven. The three were made without his direct intervention.
To be fair, he still might have influence over the other rings as he contributed to the fundamental formula behind their creation. The One merely magnified that influence.
@@goldengriffon I'm not being rude but that is head canon. It's stated pretty definitively that he needs the One to control the other Great Rings. During the subsequent events of the third age/war of the Ring he isn't even able to locate the elven three, let alone wield any degree of power over them at all. He absolutely needs the One to do this.
"I do not deny that my heart has greatly desired this wig."
Instead of a Dark Lord you will have a wig! Not dank but beautiful and terrible as the writing. Treacherous as you can see!
Celebrimbor will know that Halbrand and Annatar are the same being. He will confess that he is a Maia and that he is an emissary of the Valar, saying that Annatar is his true form.

I found myself skipping the last 6 episodes, too much cringe for me.
I hope they actually contribute to the story in this season, last season they were just doing their own thing and never once added to the main story of the show.

@@baconking2745 they actualy should not be doing anything important becouse for one and half of Age the hobbits should be totaly "under the radar" of Dark lords :) if not the Evil powers would have been able to buldozed them too early.
The “original elves” would never ever ever use the rings once they knew the rings have anything to do with Sauron.
In the books once they realized it’s Sauron who made them they literally took them off and never used them again after until Sauron was killed.
I could write a 50 page essey about all the wrong things I spotted just in this trailer.
Don’t tell me it’s a movie and it’s different narration and interpretation. One thing is to bend the story and second is to change the entire Lore of the universe.
the only thing they've got right in these two seasons, is the names.
Technically, Celebrimbor made the rings, not Sauron - the latter actually had no influence on the three. That said, I agree with you in that if the elves know Sauron himself was involved with them from the get go, they'd never have worn them. This is why the whole Halbrand BS was so harmful to the entire show.
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

its the easterlings I suppose, it was not going to be 100% alike the ones in Peter Jackson LOTR
Dude same. I had to pause is right there cuz the starwars vibes were to strong.
Fun fact, George Lucas got the inspired lightsabers from the Fellowship of the Ring.
When he read the book it was Gandalf holding a blue sword against the Balrog holding a red.
More like something out of Mad Max with desert and stuff.
This is great, I don't know why people don't like it 👍👍
Because it doesn't follow the lore. That's why.
Honestly .. because Amazon made it look like a Bold & The beautiful episode, storywise .. it feels like a shallow interpretation. I was hoping for something spectacular, or something that touches the ‘tone’ of the books(or films).
It just looks generic fantasy. To me it just feels mhew. What a waste.
We love it.
Can't take it seriously, it feels like high budget fan-fiction.

Yes, this show is the reason why I reread all the timeless works of Tolkien instead of watching this very modern looking crap, and I’m so glad I did
Lol. Did that 20 years ago. I'm happier for it.
Calling it now. Tom Bombadil gives Gandalf his hat at the climax of this season.
Still not confirmed it's Gandalf. It's probably a blue wizard Tolkien mentioned how the Blue wizards actions in the east help the men of west defeat Sauron.Seeing as we have the priestesses of Morgoth in Rhun I think he will be tasked with dealing with things in the east.
If so, then Payne and McKay can boast about solving the lingering mystery THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SOLVED which is, "How did Gandalf get his hat?"
@@terrancehylton-lyons1776 He literally quotes Gandalf from the fellowship of the ring movie. Not the book the movie. He was written as Gandalf but im sure they will change it if they want. Like everything else.
@@ThomasSmart-i2vIt actually shows nothing (there was even interview with showrunners about this quote) and I also think that he is Blue Wizard, because it is confirmed that the new Istar will appear in this season (played by Ciaran Hinds), so they both really can Blue Wizards
P.S. or they are Gandalf and Saruman… I hope not
Countering with Tom giving Morinehtar his blue hat.
Amazing how "he deceived me" but "this ring the man who deceived me made with the intention to use it to enslave everyone won't decieve me though, I'll put it on and believe whatever it shows me" :)
Umm...that's exactly what Tolkien wrote about Sauron and the Rings of Power.
„Now Celebrimbor was not corrupted in heart or faith, but had accepted Sauron as what he posed to be; and when at length he discovered the existence of the One Ring he revolted against Sauron, and went to Lórinand to take counsel once more with Galadriel.

@@anni.68 Oh ya and I clearly remember reading the books and how a quarter of the characters were described as the gamer word proving Tolkien intended it to be mass migration from Africa type of multiculture all across European-esque middle Earth.
@@bulbasaurbrutal5137 You confuse Tolkien's stories with his worldbuilding. Asia and Africa are part of Middle-earth. The Elves awoke in Cuivienen, aka the area of modern day Iraq. 2/3 of the Elves migrated into Europe, 1/3 did not go into the west. They are the Avari. Nobody knows what happended to them and were they went. Arondir could very well be a descendent of Avari Elves from the South.
Disa could also be from a southern House of Dwarves. The modern day mixture of Hobbits is of course nonsense.
I thought Season 1 was good. Still don't understand fully all the bad feedback. But this new season seems so much better, I hope all the negative feedback had an influence :) Either ways, can't wait :)
The lord of the rings is about the fight between good and evil. Be a good person for mankind.
Rings of Power is about the hubris of corporate greed twisting and distorting a precious work by a man(whose integrity was his character, and never would have allowed this abomination) into something evil.
My favorite shot was of Cirdan’s hand in the water with the ring. Perhaps consulting Ulmo?

You know they're limited as to what they can write about, by the Tolkien Estate, right? They can only elaborate on what was mentioned in the movies. They're doing what they can with what they've got. Wights exist beyond the Barrow Downs. Balrogs went into hiding after the first age. Just because ones awake, doesn't mean he'll immediately destroy Moria. The dwarves have only just discovered mythril. There could be an ongoing war with Durins Bane over mining rights for centuries. Like the Stanger, Tom may not be all he appears to be as yet. I can't wait to find out.
@@malalford being limited in what they ca use does not mean they have to invent parts or change the story you do realize that right? Also they just can’t use some names or they need to pay warner brothers money. Stop finding excuses for a poorly written show.
@@WretchMusou There are very few acutal changes. Additions are of course not a problem, especially not for the Second Age.
"Do not laugh! But once upon a time (my crest has long since fallen) I had a mind to make a body of more or less connected legend, ranging from the large and cosmogonic, to the level of romantic fairy-story (....) I would draw some of the great tales in fullness, and leave many only placed in the scheme, and sketched. The cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave scope for other minds and hands, wielding paint and music and drama." (J.R.R. Tolkien, Letter 131)
„Amazon has a relatively free hand when it comes to adding something, since, as I said, very few details are known about this time span. The Tolkien Estate will insist that the main shape of the Second Age is not altered...All this, the course of history, must remain the same. But you can add new characters and ask a lot of questions, like: What has Sauron done in the meantime? Where was he after Morgoth was defeated? Theoretically, Amazon can answer these questions by inventing the answers, since Tolkien did not describe it. But it must not contradict anything which Tolkien did say. That’s what Amazon has to watch out for. It must be canonical, it is impossible to change the boundaries which Tolkien has created, it is necessary to remain “tolkienian”...the Tolkien Estate keeps a very careful eye on everything and is quite capable of saying no. They retain a veto over everything that concerns Tolkien." (Tom Shippey)
