RINGS OF POWER: SEASON 2 | Official Teaser - Reaction | okay but why was this TERRIFYING?!

[@BoboftheOldeWays]

I knew it was this year, but I didn't expect it so soon. August 29?! And they're pulling a Halbrand as Annatar?! My body is not ready. And yet, strangely, it is.

[@CatherineLaSalle]

AHAHA right?! I had literally no idea this was gonna be happening this year, and now in just a few months?!?

[@BoboftheOldeWays]

@@CatherineLaSalle Still gives me plenty of time to re-watch season 1 tho. I’m so excited!

[@entertainmentfan1463]

@@CatherineLaSalle Same here. No idea the show was being released this year, let along this early. I think Amazon purposely held back promoting the show just so it doesn’t attract the attention of the manbaby, bigot brigade who was already running their hate campaigns a good year before it even before season 1 debut.

[@terrancehylton-lyons1776]

They started shooting season 2 before season 1 was released thats why its out this year even tho Covid happened

I’m so happy to hear that!! Yes!!

[@birdchurch9488]

I enjoyed season 1 but just didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would (HotD was clear for example imo), I maybe hyped it up in my head too much solely as its LotR. But this trailer looks good and am hoping season 2 grabs me more! I am excited to see some more openly evil Sauron. I will def miss Joseph Mawle as Adar though, thought he was great. Also I don't think there were any Harfoots in the trailer, interesting...

Do yourself a favor & watch the behind the scenes look and pause when you see Isildur with storyboards in the back... Its actually wild that theyre bringing Her in

[@thestanleys3657]

Do you think ungoliant or shelob?

[@harisban6742]

​@@thestanleys3657, Shelob 100% sure It's not a flashback scene. Sometimes we'll see Ungolient in flashback scenes through the Sauron storyline

[@deathswitch2404]

It'll be Shelob, Isildur will probably have to go through the tunnel to escape Mordor

[@thestanleys3657]

Ah thanks to you both for the reply 👍🕷️

[@shawnthompson2303]

Isildur will have to escape Mordor through Torech Ungol. And I hope we get to see Sauron feed Adar to…. *His Pet.* 🔥👁️🔥 🕷️

Sauron reminds me of the story of Anakin Skywalker and Padma, although Sauron and Galatriel did not have any love story in the plot, but these two characters are similar

im glad u are not deleting other opinions then the positive ones mate , but in my opinion harsh critism in needed when someone is disrespecting the source material and basically doing a bad job at writing a story. New Dune movies are a perfect example of making changes and conveing the meaning and message of the original without destroying it.

[@ManchesterEagle]

Love your reaction to this and your videos last season. There is so much toxicity around this show and so many KZbin channels making ridiculous claims and comments about how bad it is. Appreciate that your reactions are genuine and you appreciate how epic this looks. Look forward to your episode videos from August!

[@CatherineLaSalle]

Gosh, thank you so much for this. Honestly last season was rough in the comment sections, but even if one person was equally excited about the show, that made it worth it.

[@ManchesterEagle]

No problem Catherine. Yes unfortunately the internet is full of toxic trolls (I’ve no issue with people not liking it or constructive criticism). Glad to see some positive comments on this page. First season was flawed but I really enjoyed it. Had some mates over for Chinese, wine and episode 6 and we were blown away! Think this series will be even better and hopefully convert a few people!

[@piotrziemba2257]

there is alot of hate for this show coz its supposed to adapt not making its own story , its basically like witcher from netflix when they are trying to literally made their own fan fiction story which destroys the beauty and complexity of the source and the problem isn't the female lead, the problem is that Galadriel in this is show is extremly poorly written and and overpowered character just like Rey in the sequels and of course some people are hateful but we need to criticise when the story and the source material isn't respected and the events and new characters are contradicting already established lore very severely.

[@ManchesterEagle]

Do you really think she is overpowered? She is an ancient High Elf and others of her kind have killed Balrogs and gone toe to toe with Morgoth. She’s only beaten a troll. Sauron brushed aside her attach very easily.

[@piotrziemba2257]

@@ManchesterEagle i agree that i made a mistake with that statement earlier but my points on the story and lore will stand , in my opinion her acting also left something to be desired.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

So soon

[@piotrziemba2257]

sorry but this show was shit and even if they stay close to the source material i dont expect them to make something good just like netflix with the 3rd season of witcher it was closer to the source but at the same time not really. i wish i could be exited but for me there is nothing of value that will come from this show

[@CatherineLaSalle]

[@prodigalfraudaddy-es1gl]

Well there is a reason why only 30 percent of the audience who watched the show watched it past the 4th episode .bcz it was crap ..it was neither lore accurate nor was it done well on its own .it dint even have the 1 billion budget look either .whats worse is it ruined hopes of future good installments based on actual lore as general aurience who isnt familiar with the books will see this and wont ever actually see the epic tale if ever made ..so yea meh

[@josht.11]

I am not one to comment but felt compelled from listening to the final 3 minutes. Found your video as there is much rings of power circulating and have also seen a few of your videos prior. Also, you seem a very passionate fan, which is great! Those not enthused by long winded comments perhaps pass on mine. Apologies. A few disclaimers beforehand: I personally am not a fan of the show, I have only thus far watched episodes 1 and 2 of the first season (my knowledge of the rest of the season is from trusted friends, not online people, who have told me the show’s outcome) and I have read near all of Tolkiens works regarding the shows time period (potentially missing out on a few obscure publications of notes and such. Who knows), and I write not knowing if you have read Tolkiens work. Regarding the fans opinions, I believe there to be a difference between the fans. My personal experience has shown that the only ones I have met who like the show have not read his work, and none that have read it have liked the show. Not to say one can’t love both, but for a literature fan, this show is sooooo far from what Tolkien actually wrote it is nearly unrecognizable to me. The only thing in the first two episodes that had me knowing it was connected was the mention of the destruction of the tree’s (slightly inaccurate still) in the first 5 minutes and the names of the characters. That is where much displeasure comes from I believe, and so criticisms of the show, though perhaps not expressed tactfully, I believe are justified. When something is so altered, fans view that in itself as a level of disrespect. It implies an ability to improve upon the source material better (key word is “Implies”). This, as well as the fact that less than 40% of viewers finished watching has me believing that the majority of Tolkien fans don’t like the show. Tolkien fans are not a small group, his work being around since before WW2. For example I will share my greatest point of contention with the show: The disservice shown to the character Galadriel. There was the opportunity to show a breathtaking, really strong female character that Tolkien created. One of the oldest, wisest and most powerful remaining elves in middle earth. One of the few still around middle earth who was born in Valinor during the Years of the Trees. She was married to Celeborn and had a child. Instead, amazon has presented a female lead not tied down by the burden of a husband and child, who must surpass these men elves (all of whom she is in fact older than) seeking to diminish her and then have romantic chemistry with Sauron, when in fact she was one of the few elves to never actually trust Annatar (disguised Sauron) and had nothing to do with him. I do not buy the need to show a Galadriel that had to experience hardships to become the one depicted in Peter Jackson’s LOTR. She was nearly 4000 years old by this time and already lived through a great many hardships prior. She did not need a long sword to be a strong female. I quite appreciate her depiction in the third hobbit entry during the white councils purging of Dol Guldur. It sadden’s me that people miss seeing a truly great character. The show runners were quoted at the beginning of this venture saying “It felt only natural to us that an adaptation of Tolkien’s work would reflect what the world actually looks like.” The issue is that Tolkiens work was not meant to “look” like our world now, whatever that means, a world over 50 years past his death. Regardless of your opinion of to what Tolkien dedicates his writing to (a point of contention, based off of interpretation of a letter he wrote), choosing to present your own world rather than what Tolkien himself put into his work will not endear fans of his literature to the show, and they should not be surprised and then rebuked for speaking about it. This mentality causes me to mistrust those behind these adaptations of my favourite writings. There were also some really poor treatment of fans, with real questions, comments and opinions, from cast and producers that did not sit well with me. Hopefully this may help understanding for those not sure why people don’t like the show. If you’re a fan, that is great. I personally only hope that those who watch the show will then turn to the books, because there is the most breathtaking, heartbreaking, dark, pain filled, yet hope giving world written within Tolkiens pages that they are missing out on and not being properly shown by amazon’s production. Blessings as you look forward to season 2 come August.

[@SpeedDemon1152]

I love you Catherine, but I don't get the excitement from the comments here. I think it looks like garbage. Season 1 was terrible, it had awful writing, costumes look fake and the world didnt seem lived in. I get the exact same vibes from this trailer, that wig is laughable. The thing I'll give it is the visual effects

[@CatherineLaSalle]

Thanks for explaining how you feel in a pretty respectful way!! I don’t mind hearing other peoples’ critiques of season one, you’re one of the first people to have done in in an articulate way while actually touching on specific points
