You make me sick.
in a good way?
i think all characters should announce their characteristics and intentions during their first appearance in a show. would speed up watching poirot.
I forget just how shit the writing was in this
I recall also the "follow your nose" bit... very poor!Anakin Skywalker's first words - "I'm baaaaad"
aye. that saves the cost (and carbon footprint) of at least 4 star wars films i reckon.
First words of Vader "Noooooooo!".
The first season had it's moments but overall it was sketchy, some of the acting and dialogue was atrocious. Season 2 needs to be much better, this is Tolkien for god's sake not medieval Hollyoaks.
Amazon are rumoured to have bought the rights to all or parts of The Silmarillion.
Rumour #2: Tom Bombadil will feature in RoP.

Oh, Eru save us.
Hire world class writers.
Pretty sure that first part is bs or at least no different to the arrangement for S1, where they could license very small specific parts (eg I think "Armenelos" is never mentioned in LotR or its appendices, so would've been outside the scope of the original rights deal).
The rumour appears to have circulated in January this year. I agree, it's likely BS, as you'd expect them to have shouted it from the treetops if it happened.
i’m available.
I look forward to Luthien finding Mairon trapped in a tower screaming for help, saving him, developing a love triangle between him and Beren, and then surprise that Mairon is actually Sauron. Revealed in full nudity. Including Luthien of coruse. Luthien's huge dog barges in through the door whilst everyone is naked. Sauron turns himself into the biggest dog in Arda. The most epic dogfight in middle earth ensues ..

Don't forget the 5-second scene of Feanor creating the silmarils.
Lets hear an episode synopsis then
And his speech that sparks off the entire story. "Melkor is a very bad man. I name him Morgoth. That's all i had to say.".
The canon speech actually begins “Melkor is…not GOOD!”
*Renewing of show intensifies*
“i’m ba-aa-aa-ad!” echoes around mordor. we cut to the interior, a naked orc wearing a galadriel wig covers its modesty with a bed sheet as it shuffles out of the bedroom. the shot is from the rear. ee see a white hand print on both the orc’s cheeks.
sauron lays sated on the bed. “i will trick some elves today.” he says, then does some magic and dabs
unskippable 45 second ad.
rings of power intro
“previously on rings of power” “i’m ba-aa-aa-ad!” white hand prints on both cheeks. dab.
fade to black.
we cut to the hobbits that aren’t hobbits. they’re doing hobbity things.
Yeah, if it's anything it'll be something like they're allowed to say "Annatar". Tbh they didn't even do a good job on first stage stuff even within the rights they have.
Well there are several versions. The book of tales version
Melkor is....Baaaaaaaaaad!!
‘Why, O my people, why should we longer serve these jealous gods, who cannot keep us, nor their own realm even, secure from their Enemy? And though he be now their foe, are not they and he of one kin? Vengeance calls me hence, but even were it otherwise, I would not dwell longer in the same land with the kin of my father’s slayer and the thief of my treasure. Yet I am not the only valiant in this valiant people. And have ye not all lost your king? And what else have ye not lost, cooped here in a narrow land between the jealous mountains and the harvestless Sea? Here once was light, that the Valar begrudged to Middle-earth, but now dark levels all. Shall we mourn here deedless for ever, a shadow-folk, mist-haunting, dropping vain tears in the salt thankless Sea? Or shall we go home? In Cuiviénen sweet ran the waters under unclouded stars, and wide lands lay about where a free folk might walk. There they lie still and await us who in our folly forsook them. Come away! Let the cowards keep this city. But by the blood of Finwë! unless I dote, if the cowards only remain, then grass will grow in the streets. Nay, rot, mildew, and toadstool.’
...
‘Fair shall the end be, though long and hard shall be the road! Say farewell to bondage! But say farewell also to ease! Say farewell to the weak! Say farewell to your treasures — more still shall we make! Journey light. But bring with you your swords! For we will go further than Tauros, endure longer than Tulkas: we will never turn back from pursuit. After Morgoth to the ends of the Earth! War shall he have and hatred undying. But when we have conquered and have regained the Silmarils that he stole, then behold! We, we alone, shall be the lords of the unsullied Light, and masters of the bliss and the beauty of Arda! No other race shall oust us!’

Annatar has arrived, it seems.
Well i guess they wont recognize him in Numenor now when he looks like an elf.
They did. I guess Celebrimbor isn't great with faces.
"He's coming to take our jeerbs!"
“hi fellow elves”
Don't care that they back paddle on introducing Annatar after all. Hard "R" Sauron pronunciation is back baby.
TBF Vickers is pulling off the smirk well.
Maybe it's a bit of a reset after the mixed reviews, get back to the basic plot.
I do wonder how they ll present it. Though even in the books it seems slightly hard to believe elves would fall for something like it considering they all seem to know who's who and who their mommy or daddy is.
I'll watch and hope that they actually brought in semi decent writers this time. Just make it coherent please and not daft as shit. The night shot with the catapults looked purty.
All this trailer gave me was that it will be more grand battles and the characters are shown as Marvel heroes and villians.
Lord of the Rings for the Tiktok generation, now with Prime ads.
The Tolkien version is believable in its own context, this version will find it a little harder given what's already happened.
Yeah, that's the problem with S1. A real shit show writing.
