      it began with the forging of the great films
      the lore was given by Tolkien , the fairest of beings
      rights were granted to jackson , great miner and craftsman of the mountain of lore
      and nine...
      nine hours were gifted to the race of men
      but they were all deceived
      for another show was made..
      in the land of Amazon
      in the fires of mount Prime..
      the dark lord Bezos forged in secret a master flop
      and into this show he poured his money..
      his greed and his will to dominate all film
      one show to ruin them all
      one by one the corrupt fell to the wealth of the show
      but there were some who resisted
      a last alliance of the books and movie fans
      marched against the cooperate shills
      and when all hope had faded
      the free tolkienians united their voices
      and Bezos , the enemy of the free people...
      was defeated

    • @KMASCII

      I was thinking that too but the King of the Dead was the King of the men of the Mountains, not the Southlands. It would be interesting though. Also, Halbrand's sigil is different than the one seen on the helmet of the King of the Dead. However, I think the fact that Halbrand is a good fighter could be an important hint in discovering Halbrand's identity.

      The Collector, it´s certainly a possiblity that Adar was one of the proto-orcs. But it would show again that the show runners don´t really know a lot about Tolkien´s lore. Tolkien has retracted this origins story of the orcs many times before he died.He detected too many flaws in this theory. And he never came up with a totally convincing explanation for the existence of orcs. I think that he favored the idea that Morgoth tried to create intelligent life, but he botched it, and the results of his project were orcs. But for some reason fans always gravitate towards the idea that Morgoth corrupted elves who eventually became orcs.
      I believe that according to Amazon Adar may have been indeed subjected to Morgoth´s tortures, and that is the reason why the orcs feel a connection with Adar, which is elvish for "father". It would also explain why Adar hated Morgoth and still hates Sauron. And he feels protective of his orcs, because their ancestors have been elves like him. This is not really compatible with Tolkien´s views about orcs, but it would actually be a cool story line!

He had a habit of writing down notes while contemplating and re-contemplating previous ideas.....which doesn't at all equate to "he retracted the idea". By your logic the entire Silmarillion is null and void...and fans gravitate to the idea that Orcs are Elves BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENSE GIVEN ACTUAL CANON.

      @@zalaniro4977 , you are absolutely right! Meteor Man must definitely be Gandalf. He certainly looks like a younger version of Ian McKellen, and one of the first words he says in the hobbit language, is "friend". This is supposedly meant to remind us of Gandalf, when he tried to find out the code word which opens the gate of Moria. The correct word was "mellon", which is the elvish word for "friend". And the naked Meteor Man looks very much like Gandalf when he came back to Middle Earth naked and confused after he had temporarily been dead after he had vanquished the balrog. Maybe he fell through a space-time wormhole which had opened up because of the intense fight against the balrog and he landed near the hobbit camp and in the Second Age. The fiery stuff was not a meteor but a few pieces of the balrog, who is a fire demon 😉 When Gandalf the White tells Aragorn Gimly and Legolas what had happened to him, he actually says that he had fallen out of time and space and that he had wandered around in strange places for eons.
      Obviously I have no idea if ROP will spin it like that.
