The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power - A Look Inside Season 2 | Prime Video

A look inside Season 2 of The Rings of Power.
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.

[@Afreshio]

I wish it was that way at least it would've made sense in-universe even if this take would be non-canon. Now am I supposed to believe Celebrimbor is gonna fall for Hallbrannnatar, for a second time? Now am I supposed to not question why the fuck is Annatar in Eregion when Celebrimbor ALREADY MADE THE GREATER RINGS OF POWER? "He did the Big three rings of elves, now he must do the lesser rings" YEAH I KNOW! If he did the most difficult part already because Sauron taught him about alloys why he needs the advice of Sauron to make shittier rings? It doesn't make any fucking sense. And Annatar will enter again to Eregion, deceive Celebrimbor, again, and make rings, again... without any fucking sense or logic! I sweat the writing of this show sucks ass. And it's been done by two yes-man hacks without the experience to make a show of this caliber.

@@anni.68 yes? How do you know? 98% of people are making fun of that appearance, making fun of the stupidity, not of all the elves in this mediocre series, but of Galadriel (and the writers).

[@anni.68]

@@Ricktellx Season 1 had a lot of problems with the pacing of Galadriel's storyline that affected the credibility of some events and characters. Galadriel herself often acted too immature, but apart from that her portrayal in the show fits very well to her description in the books. Now...have a look at the trailer again. We only see Charlie Vickers in scenes _after_ the destruction of Eregion. Look at it. The city of Ost-in-Edhil is destroyed, the Elves are fleeing in all directions and Celebrimbor is seriously injured (he lost a hand). This is not the time of Annatar, the generous Lord of Gifts, this is the time of Sauron the Conqueror. He does not need his Annatar shape anymore, and the Elves know that they have been betrayed since he put on the One Ring.

[@Ricktellx]

@@anni.68 Galadriel acting very immature? How old is she? fifteen? Not only is she immature, she is annoying, she is pedantic, she is hasty, she is deceptive and a person willing to do anything to get what she wants, even at risk of the lives of her allies. Forgive me for telling you this, but this Galadriel is very far from the Galadriel of the books I have read.

[@anni.68]

@@Ricktellx As I said, she is immature, which of course includes being annoying and hasty. And no, she is not willing to risk the lives of her allies. What are you even talking about? In the books it is said about her that she was very proud and self-willed and that "In him (Feanor) she perceived a darkness that she hated and feared, though she did not perceive that the shadow of the same evil had fallen upon the minds of all the Noldor, and upon her own." (Unfinished Tales) and: "Even after the merciless assault upon the Teleri and the rape of their ships, though she[Galadriel] fought fiercely against Feanor in defence of her mother's kin, she did not turn back. Her pride was unwilling to return, a defeated suppliant for pardon; but now she burned with desire to follow Feanor with her anger to whatever lands he might come, and to thwart him in all ways that she could." ( Unfinished Tales) This is the description of a deep desire for vengeance. And I think we both agree that she hated Sauron more than she hated Feanor. In Unfinished Tales it is also said that ""It was not until two long ages more had passed, when at last all that she had desired in her youth came to her hand, the Ring of Power and the dominion of Middle-earth of which she had dreamed, that her wisdom was full grown and she rejected it, and passing the last test departed from Middle-earth for ever." Not THE test, the LAST test.

@TheJetstream10 No that’s not the Witch King of Angmar since it would mean that all the rings have been forged and 16 of the 19 would’ve have been taken by Sauron already (remember the elves hid away the other 3 when they figured out what was going on) then Sauron would’ve have “gifted” 9 of those rings to the “mortal Human Kings, doomed to die” turning them into Nazgûl and servants to Sauron of Which the Witch King was their leader (the Nazgûl). Now mind you the corruption took many years considering when the actual rings were forged til when the Nazgûl became Wraiths……….. and by the way the Witch King of Angmar doesn’t even reappear til the middle of the 3rd Age………. So if anything you are looking at some “new shitty” character introduced by Amazon because the whole writing team lacks any writing ability whatsoever……… 😉 And you’re probably better off just reading JRR Tolkien’s masterpiece novels instead of watching some crappy fanficton produced by a bunch of “hacks” pretending to be even remotely competent at writing or directing or producing or even acting ……... 🤨

[@TheJetstream10]

@@bkh8528 Dude, you're thinking the books, which I love as well, but this is Amazon, and so yes, that's probably the Witch King because they don't care about what you care about or I care about or what The Professor wrote.

The huge advantage of this show is that Tolkien did not wrote much about this era.

As a book reader, to me I see countless references to the lore. I too would love to see every little bit of lore exactly 1:1, however I don't think that would make for the most consumable show.

[@morrgash]

@@AsimovVibes Yeah but Lotr is there as a proof that it would have worked.

[@AsimovVibes]

@@morrgash i dont see how that is proof of something? As much as we all adore the LOTR movies, there are countless deviations PJ and team made to the lore and in some case completely altered the story Tolkien actually wrote so as to make parts of it almost silly and unrecognisable to the source material.11 Tolkien adaptations have been brought to screen (TROP is 11th, LOTR was the 9th) and every single one has had deviations from source material. TROP is not special on this regard, on the contrary this is banal and expected.

[@morrgash]

@@AsimovVibes Lotr is a strange concept to bring to live action back in the day so the fact that they were able to do that AND follow the lore is a proof that ROP can do the same, I know that PJ left things out such as Tom bombadil, the sacking of the Shire and many other lore bits, he did it because that was the only way to create the trilogy with reasonabale time i guess. What PJ didn't do is change the order of events or even the lore just like we currently see in ROP, at the end of the day i do hope that i will be wrong and they will surprise me because i really like many things in the show!

[@krisanresa9675]

@@morrgash I think the time compression really messed up RoP. Like they have characters who are not suppose to meet up , and yet they ( Amazon) made them to meet each other in tv show. For example afaik from the books, Galadriel never set foot on Numenor and is not supposed to meet Tar Miriel. Galadriel meeting Tar-Miriel 3000 years before she was born in Numeror is a bit too much., and I'm refering to Tar-Miriel since she was born at the end of the second age, and the show preceded the forging of the rings of power. So Tar-Miriel wasn't born at this time, and the Elves were banned from Numeror just before her birth. Also Celebrimbor was alive during the events of the show. After the Rings were forged and he made the one he was beaten to death by Sauron with his own hammer made of mithril. During the show mithril isn't even discovered until episode 4 in season 1. So... The show is just very very far away from being accurate or even slightly canon I do agree that ROP did change the order of events, and I also think they had too much freedom doing unnecessary changes in RoP. In PJ LoTR the changes imho are warranted and was able to give you that Tolkien tone ( through their scripts, dialogs, action, visuals both from CGI and practical effects, and also from the sound and music score). I don't see/feel that Tolken tone in RoP unfortunately. I remember watching the interview of the showrunners back then in season 1, and they said about creating a story that Tolkien never wrote which to me is simply saying about creating a made up story with Tolkien name tag on it just to attract viewers ( which usually end up being a Tolkien fans , not just normies).

[@iliria6547]

Hope to see the first battle of the elves🧝 in high scale, like the movies of 🎥 Peter Jackson with alot of lore, emotions & good history, the other point we need to restore the essence of the franchise of the Master: Howard Shore 🎹 the company need to use more the art of the master no only in the opening, because the music of Lord Of The Rings until now is the best music for the history of the movies.

Sooooooo been there, done that….. soooo not sure why you would be “so excited” for this………. Cheap knockoff of that……….. 😉

[@AsimovVibes]

​@@bkh8528Isildur builds Minas Ithil literally right next to the pass over Ephel Duath. It totally makes sense that he might have chosen that spot because he had experience going over the pass. At the period of time portrayed in TROP, Shelob has been living there, so why not show one of Tolkiens characters. These are all interpretations that easily slot into the source material.

[@cinemazione5847]

[@falkon7832]

“Fair criticism” um, sure. Tell me, what objectively is “fair”

[@coldfire2753]

​@@falkon7832S1 plot was rushed, it had a lot of boring characters that went nowhere, barely any good action and the acting of the main lead was very dry. The creation of mount doom and the aftermath was a joke. The rings were literally made in a 10 min montage. Sauron reveal felt like actual fanfiction. But of course, me and millions of others who didn't like the show are simply toxic fans who are just hating for the sake of hating. I've heard it all before.

In the words of The Dude from The Big Lebowski, yeah well thats like your opinion man.

“Millions of fans” um. Funny story. Millions of people don’ write negative comments. They watch stuff, but only a small fraction write comments and claim to a part of a larger group. Nope. Thats a not a thing.

[@coldfire2753]

​@@falkon7832Since you want facts: - Only a good third of the people who watched S1 on Prime, actually finished it - There's almost no positive reviews about the show on YT, yet there's loads of popular videos that properly critique the writing, acting, directing - All the trailers are heavely disliked, which you dont see with other fantasy shows like House of the Dragon for example - Season 1 didn't win any awards
