Rings of Power Season 2 has backed itself into a narrative corner... how will they extricate themselves from insta-Mordor, dirty little Harfoots, and elves who can't seem to figure out who Halbrand is!

Michael and Jonathan take a look at the FIRST Season 2 trailer for The Rings of Power, particularly looking at Sauron, Eagles, and--staying true to their old tricks--a new insta-tower right at the end!

    Forgot to talk about the eagles on the Meneltarma! They lived there, but they didn't interact with any of the characters we see in The Rings of Power (in fact, they would have abandoned Númenor at this point). And, it looks like they didn't try to get closer to Tolkien's writings by even the smallest margin. They wrote themselves into a corner in Season 1, and now they're backing themselves into it even more.

    "But they were all deceived. For another wig was made...." Best comment I saw under the official trailer.
  • @caradhwen7749
    I’m still bothered that Celebrimbor looks like Mrs. Doubtfire.
  • @heatherblack7593
    Why does Annatar actually look like a Tolkien elf when every other elf in the story looks like some guy in 2024?
  • @federicaesu8580
    The Eagles lived on the Meneltarma as a sign of the friendship of the Valar with the Numenoreans. They went away or maybe Manwë called them back to Valinor when the Numenoreans became envious of the Elbes and abandoned the the ancient traditions of the Edain
  • Elrond and Thranduil to Amazon's elves: Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?
  • @DavidTMSN
    Anyone who even remotely associates Amazon's adaption with Tolkien's intellectual property is going straight to Hades.

    Even a baby eagle would NEVER bear Arfucking-Pharazôn. Ever. They're not taxis. And she's riding a horse again. But was that a harfoot on fire? One can only hope. Thanks guys.

    I can't believe there are channels (and supposed Tolkien's fans) that actually see this piece of crap as something to look foward to. WE know what Tolkien would say...and anyone who is blessed by some kind of critical thinking cannot pretend this is a good rendition. I'm afraid a see a lot of youngsters unable to understand the depth of Tolkien's work.
  • @Zenocrate
    Reducing the Eagles of Manwë to carrier pigeons seems like something the show would do.
  • @lotuschamp7796
    I did not see a single episode of season 1, the reviews were traumatic enough for me..
  • @Zenocrate
    I shall implement the same policy I followed the last time around: ignore all the promotional material and watch nothing of the show but devote my precious time to watching and listening to fellow-Tolkien nerds disembowel it.
  • @frankvandorp9732
    22:05 Based on the surrounding of that tower, my first guess it is Orthanc. It would make zero sense at all for Orthanc to be created this way, so it's something this show could absolutely do.

    When a junkie is addicted, the dealer can cut their product as much as they like and the junkie will still come crawling back. Why would they fix it?

    Galadriel was literally married when he talked to her
  • @JCO2002
    I watched a total of 35 minutes of season 1, in two tries - even though I'd downloaded the first few episodes as torrents - and then gave up in disgust. No intention of watching any of season 2, but I'll certainly enjoy folks like you tearing it to shreds. My sympathies, though, for having to watch it instead.

    Guyladriel: He's been among us all along... Yeah no shit you brought him and kept your mouth shut when you KNEW who he was and forged the Elven Rings anyway...
