At the end I did not really like the first season of Rings of Power. Too many plots were just absolutely nonsensical, to the point that I get angry thinking about them. Some others were actually decent, but it has still far too many problems and on top of that they too often go out of the way of to adapt what Tolkien actually wrote. I'm a book fan, but I also understand you might need som changes here there. But when the changes make no sense and generate too many plot holes, I feel at the end disappointed.
For season 2 they at last already got the plot going, so I expect an improvement over season 1, but I still think they will continue with strange changes and writing decisions. Here is what I observed so far from watching the teaser and what I can conclude from knowing the books quite well. I could be wrong though.
PS: I still hope the big season 2 reveal is, that Celebrimbor's dog dreamed everything so far and now we see how it actually happened 🤞

- Círdan's actual name is Nowë in the lore. The text layer moved to the wrong text element and shows on every art work from Kimberly now. It should only show up left of the Círdan art work.
