Rings of Power season 2 will follow Sauron desperately trying to stop Elves from redeeming the One Ring

Tbh just draw a mustache on that pale blonde lady

Lord of the Rings is gonna go the way of Star Wars. Kino trilogy followed by endless slop that people continue to gorge on well passed it's expiry date just because of that original trilogy.

I didn't think it was that bad. Rando elves and hobbits being black is totally inconsequential in a world where racism based on skin color does not exist. Dramatards are just gonna tard.

Watched the first 2 episodes, realised that absolutely nothing of interest was happening and skipped the rest.

Seriously, half of the scenes served no other purpose than to virtue signal. "Look there are some black hobbits!" - okay fair but why do we care?

Yes, friend would non stop telling me how good it is

I tried but couldn't get through it. Even though it was trash, I was pretty committed to seeing how they were going to do to my boy Tolkien. I couldn't make it.

I watched that scene with my jaw dropped because it was so dumb. Oh, let's make Ar-Pharazon a stand-in for Trump? Dude is already the only guy with half a brain in Numenor, this is not the hot take you think it is.

Also between Galadriel and the Orc Father, when the Orc guy is not the most evil guy in the scene you done screwed up.

To be fair, the film trilogy had a storyline on Aragorn campaigning to repeal Denethorcare.

I wish you were wrong, but you're not. And the idiot showrunners had the gall to say they were being so faithful to Tolkien's writing.

Now I want to see the second season out of spite, to see how even stupider they can go. It'll be hard to top "A volcano blew up in my face but I walked it off" but I'm sure they can manage even worse than that!

In the lore and books Sauron could change his physical appearance to look like an elf or man because he is a maiar, which is basically the LotR version of an angel/demigod, this is what Gandalf was as well and he took the appearance of an old man like all the wizards did.

In the books he took the form of an elf in the second age and convinced them to forge the one ring for him more or less. Like a thousand years later he was captured by Numenorians and convinced them to invade the undying lands where the elves and gods live. This is when Numenor sunk. Sauron's physical form was ‘killed' by this as well so he couldn't physically change going forward but his spirit lived on more or less.

I am sure the show runners have a different r-slurred explanation though as they aren't following the timeline of the second age at all.
