This also shows how the elves relationship with other races was always poor or they were never trusted bc they never truly understood how others lives moved on while there kinda stays the same

28:07 - Theo is a descendant of people who were servants of Morgoth. That's why the elves are keeping an eye on them.

I got serious chills when they showed Kazad-Dum and Moria. It looks as amazing as the movies. And the thunderous music by the great Bear McReary just make you want to want to grab a big ass war hammer! Prince Durin is already my favorite character of the show. I felt his pain when he talked about how hurt he was that Elrond hadn’t kept in touch for 20 years. I’d be pissed too. But I love that his amazing wife helped him to forgive him. Also I wish I had a beard as awesome as his.

Yes. The only scene which justified the Tolkien's middle earth. That scene is the only in these two ep which gave me chills. Eps is 5-6/10 for me. But that scene is 10/10 for sure.

FYI: The "Aulë" whose beard some of the dwarves swear by is Aulë the Maker, one of the Valar. He created the dwarves, so, yeah, they revere him.

The orcs or goblins in this are way scarier, and stronger. We’ve only ever seen them go toe to toe with trained, experienced warriors, so it was refreshing to see how a commoner would fare.

28:06 So the show is called the Rings of Power, so one would assume it is about the 20 magical rings made, 3 For the elves, 7 for the dwarves, nine for the Men (and then the master ring, the one to rule them all). we also know what happens to those 9 humans and their rings, they become the ringwraiths, so somewhere we are going to have 9 people who gets powerful rings and then gets twisted into those wraiths. Could Theo be one of them?

@@yw1971 Thank you for pointing that out, but I don't recall when it was ever stated that A Morgul-blade had to be ONLY a weapon of the Witch-King nor whether or not other kinds OR VERSIONS OF IT EXISTED. And this is THE REAL ISSUE that this series will face & IS FACING. Some will be more concerned about TRYING TO STICK TO THE LORE OF THE BOOKS, while ignoring the Fact Tolkien was PRECISE IN SOME AREAS, while being completely imprecise IN OTHERS. Never mind that the weapons of Morgoth and his Forces of the 1st-Age never get/got detailed like that, thus another reason why Star Wars with it's COUNTLESS TECHNICAL MANUALS, ranging from weapons, to ships, to intricate details of planets, far outpaces Lord of the Rings as a whole in regards to showing just how vast its storyverse is. And giving PRECISE INFORMATION, for the most part, ON WHO DID WHAT WHEN & HOW & WHY, and WHO CREATED WHAT WHEN & HOW & WHY, so? Simply because the Rings of Power weren't created yet, doesn't means Weapons of Dark-Power DON'T ALREADY EXIST. Your point, which I am glad you made, is exactly why it wasn't until Peter Jackson's movies that I finally had any real love for Lord of the Rings & Tolkien's-works, which is interesting within itself, because I read all of his books and it was exactly what you pointed out just now; the Vague-ambiguity in specific-areas, that ultimately left me unimpressed by what Tolkien had wrote. Whether it is Tom Bombadil, where Tolkien never explains who-&-what HE IS, nor WHY-&-HOW he existed PRIOR TO Eru Iluvatar, The GOD, of the entire storyverse. Deciding to create everything through song with the rest of His Creations, but then Tom Bombadil, the Nameless Things, Ungoliant!? None of these...? "Creatures". Come from Eru and Tolkien never explains how, why-&-where They came from. It's meant to create mystery, but for me it created annoyance, because it means They exist FOR SHOCK VALUE, as far as I'm concerned. So when you open that door some will see it for what it is & simply embrace it as a JJ Abrams MYSTERY-BOX that will never be solved-opened-&-answered, while others will understand that the creation of these "characters". Is meant to spice things up & at no point will the OG-Creator ever explain them BECAUSE THAT WAS ALL THEY WERE EVER MEANT TO BE. This then OPENS THE DOOR to speculation-interpretation of something that was always simply meant TO CREATE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE WORK ITSELF. But never meant to EVER be EXPLAINED, at least, unless or until...? You sell the Rights to your work... to someone else....

But I think this show will end up showing Us that, because of what happened here all the way back in what will be Season-1 by that time. That unlike some others who took the 9-Rings, he will CHOOSE TO TAKE HIS RING ON PURPOSE, fully-knowing what will happen to him. But We will see that HE DOES THAT/DID THAT, because He'd gotten corrupted all the way back in this episode of Season-1.

They are trying to use diversity and female empowerment as cookie cutter magic cure alls for inexperience in the directors and screenwriters (and actors) and it shows in profound ways. Oh and did I mention that they cheaped out on big name actors? For $1 billion I would expect them to at least match the effort Netflix put in for season 1 of Westworld. NF snagged Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright and James Marsden - plus notable TV acting names like Jimmi Simpson. By comparison the most notable name on the entire cast in Lenny f**kin Henry - who isn't even known for acting chops in the first place. The whole thing makes me think that Amazon tried their best to snag big names and all of their choices turned them down after reading the scripts (which so far range from dull, to cringe inducing). I thought much the same about Wheel of Time - the entire thing feels like amateur hour with a mountain of CG VFX to plaster over the many cracks. Someone recently commented that even House of the Dragon had more convincing armor on top of that - soooo the RoP props are cheap too, or at least made by inexperienced hands.

That part where Galadriel walks up to the table where Elrond is sitting and says "No one puts Elrond in the corner" beautiful.

There were no hobbits in the second age of middle earth They're just telling their own story not Tolkien's

There were Hobbits but in different groups. These ones were called fairfoots. They later on went and settled where The Shire is and its Tolkien lore.

@@dogondolloncat Fairfoots? No those are suppose to be the Harfoot Hobbits, they are the browner skins Hobbit. And the earliest mention of hobbits in the timeline is in the Third Age in 1050, specifically the Harfoots coming to Eriador; the Stoors and Fallohides first show up on the timeline 100 years later. I don't think the Hobbits are suppose to be in the second age.

the legacy of lord of the rings is doomed for this crap amazonian tv show and so many fake reviews.

Just boring and beautiful. The writing already seems worse. How did he get a fade 🤔 in middle earth?

Amazon really think they can just trick people for 5 season long by just visuals and expensive CGI.They have adapted the Simarillion which is a really small book and they are stretching it out already while completely butchering characters and their arc and making them boring bland .They have tried to make Galadriel into Henry Cavilles witcher style character hoping it would work.So far none of the characters are interesting
