[@deathswitch2404]

Halbrands very first words to Galadriel were "Looks can be decieving" Also he said in the cells on Numenor about peoples fears; "Give them a means of mastering it.. so you can master them"... sounds an awful lot like what he does with the rings

[@amandaruth9566]

His advice and his methods were always super Sauron-y

[@joshjames582]

In the Tolkien legendarium, Gandalf is the same essential type of being Sauron is, so maybe if these three weird ladies are sensing his soul energy or something undefined instead of going by looks it explains why they might mistake them.

[@similarrose5811]

Yeah in their mortal bodies on middle earth they could look like anyone, the ladies being confused makes sense in that regard considering the Wanderer has just arrived and Sauron we assume can still change his appearance.

[@DarkCl0uD31]

Yeah they're like Angels

[@tkaki6029]

Sauron is a was the greatest of the Maiar. Gandalf is one of the lesser of the Maiar

[@thomasharris4942]

If you know The Silmarillion, as soon as that dude says his idea to use mithril is a "gift" to Celibrimbor, you know he's Sauron. Sauron was disguised as Anatar Lord of Gifts for centuries with the Elves.

[@Fsudryden]

Favorite storyline and actors to me was The Dwarves. I want a spinoff just in the dwarven kingdom.

[@davidfieldsend]

I heard a theory that each season of rings of power could focus on how the rings of each species got forged, the 3 rings of elves, the nine rings of humans, the dwarves rings, all that

[@janein4498]

Only the three were different. The others are all the same. Sauron just gave them to different races.

[@djoscartj]

@@janein4498 If one little piece of Mithril helped create the 3 Elf Witch Rings, I wonder what the Mithril vest/jacket that Bilbo gave Frodo could do!

[@dennist.8210]

Glad you guys enjoyed it! I always enjoy your reactions as well. Your commentary just adds an extra layer of entertainment value and your facial reactions at certain points are hilarious! Season 2 is already in production and the studio is looking into 5 seasons in total. Of course, I don't want to go into what these seasons will consist of (since you're wanting to go in not knowing) but I think you'll definitely enjoy it. As you said, there is a lot more story to tell and it will be darker than this first season ;)! Cheers lads!

[@bertinamiller9626]

Second season has been confirmed; enjoyed your comments

[@sparkleclover]

Sauron actually was trying to be "good" and repent for his past sins but Galadriel sort of pushed him into thinking he was destined for greatness. Then once she refused to be with him he said fuck it and decided to go full evil again. It's like the Elf king said at the start, sometimes if you try to put out a fire with wind you end up spreading it instead, which is exactly what she ended up doing.

[@sparkleclover]

If you want to know exactly what it says in The Silmarillion, it's that Sauron was not evil in origin. He was a spirit corrupted by the Prime Dark Lord Morgoth. He was give an opportunity of repentance, after Morgoth was overcome, but could not face the humiliation he experienced and so his temporary turn to good and benevolence ended in a greater relapse, later becoming the main representative of Evil in the later ages. But at the beginning of the second age, he was still beautiful to look at, and was indeed not wholly evil. So this season basically takes place at the beginning of the second age when Sauron was "good" or at least attempting to be, but we never knew before what exactly happened that caused him to feel such humiliation that he turned evil again. Now we know it was Galadriel's rejection of him.

[@similarrose5811]

They have said they have 50 hours worth of show that will likely be divided into 5 seasons.

[@m.i.n.k.y.m.o.o.]

Loved this show. Both ROP & Willow have been a surprising delight for me. Half-foots got me 😭 every time. Such good tv this year, ..so lucky! ❤ your reactions.✌🏽

[@zulawoo]

They really connected the whole season together and still managed to create the biggest possibility for a season 2. That's some good writing. All we need more in season 2 is dwarves and durin

[@staticmonkey8436]

I agree! They were the best part of this season!

[@ViewfromtheVoid]

Kap

[@eastwaters4082]

Lmao bruh the lore is too disjointed to be portrayed in 8 episodes. They confused everything.

[@Fsudryden]

Season Two is filming now.

[@jacob3716]

Great reaction, was waiting for this!

[@Drako7077]

This is a great show for folks who don't care who gets the job done. Female or Male, doesn't matter as long as they're believable and I believe in everyone I've seen so far. 💯💯💪🏾💪🏾

[@TerasXertas]

"You brought Satan to the hospital" had me wheezing LMAO

[@vincent71418]

It seems like some people look for more and more reactions and other vids about this show on YT so they can write their hate comments about it😆like they got nothing better to do.. anyway thanks for the reaction guys

[@KingAce595]

So I don't know if you guys are actually going to take a look at this, but the character you know as Gandalf at this point in. His life is not yet Gandalf. At this point he's actually a Maiar (Lesser god) of similar strength to Sauron, and his name is Olorin. He only became Gandalf after splitting the majority of his power among 4 lesser Maiar. He only reclaims this power after he faced the Balrog that you saw the Dwarf King trying to keep trapped under Moria. This is why when Aragorn and Co. find him in Fangorn forest, the newly leveled up White Wizard doesn't seem to immediately recognize his name, because he was back to being Olorin, the Maiar of light and wind.

[@Karatejin]

That was a great show for me and it was good seeing you guys reacting to Rings of Power again! And you have some time, short horror films or full lenght horror films! Cheers!

[@mmkloi]

Galadriel has a big fight scene with Sauron in Hobbit movies. So yeah, she will see him again. You should watch that

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

I hope that you guys had a great Christmas

[@ace360]

Glad you guy's enjoyed this show as well stay awesome ⚡🌋🤘

[@patrickwatts8143]

Supposedly there is a season 2 coming but they said it could be a couple years before we get it

[@j.s.2767]

i'm still team Halbrand

[@mikyraakinnard1937]

I cannot be for sure but I think that the wizard is one of the Blue Wizards.

[@deathswitch2404]

While that was a good theory for a long time, it makes far more sense for it to be Gandalf. Hes here wandering around with Hobbits, wears a grey cloak, uses the staff & literally says Gandalfs line from the movies. Yes its far too early for it to be him, but Haldir and the other elves also never came to help the men in two towers either so im fine with them changing things if it helps serve the story theyre telling.

[@Moogieluva]

I think the giant is Saruman, not Gandelf. Remember, Saruman was once good.

[@moali786]

The scroll is a clue to the true king of the Southlands (and Middle Earth), which will be Isildur and his father's bloodline..

[@Fsudryden]

Amazon spent a world record amount of money on this show. Viewing numbers have to be incredibly low for them to not make more seasons. However viewing numbers were great.

[@vincent71418]

At the start of the episode i was like nah i'm not buying this shit they gotta be mistaken, i haven't even read silmarillion but one thing i knew is that they wanted us to think that the giant is sauron so they can surprise us with another reveal. but overall dope show both this show and the house of dragons got me wanting so much more can't wait for season 2

[@payvip4591]

Loved the video keep it up

[@TheChiefBusta]

More last kingdom talk! Love that show!

[@edwindrood2816]

Yup great show

[@jay83]

2nd 3rd or 4th don't care I'm here on time lol

[@sdbartes7615]

Let's go

[@D.luffy_954]

First

[@kaizen5023]

No one gives a sh!t.

[@kaizen5023]

This whole series sucked a$$ -- so many huge nonsensical plot elements, cringe dialogue, terrible editing, and all around just horrible writing. The visuals were cool and the score was great, that's it.

[@jm8080ful]

Why you two still pretends like this show is good, we're not dumb....

[@vincent71418]

No one is pretending anything, you just got a passion to hate this show and you can't accept that others liking it, if anyone says they like this show it MEANS they like it simple as that.. no one needs to pretend shit so that any haters like you might believe that they like it and you know why? because no one cares what haters might say or think. This show is dope as they said and for whatever reason you dont like it keep it to yourself, no need to bother yourself on why people like it or if they pretending to like it.

[@deathswitch2404]

Ive yet to find someone to tell me why they dont like this show without turning into snobs or idiots "oh but in the books...." or "Galadriel is too op". Literally no one cares. We enjoyed it, thats where it ends.
