The three elven rings are designed but not made by Sauron. They do not corrupt the bearer directly, and therefore are the only 3 that can be used for good outside the One rings control. That is why the elves used them all the time, except when they felt Sauron wearing the One. The other rings corrupt the bearer regardless of Sauron's influence.
So while Elrond’s distrust (in the show) is justified, Galadriel is acutely right to use it until the One is made. Then all will take them off. After the One is lost and Elrond receives Gil-Galad’s ring, he wears it because he learned Sauron has no influence over them without the One.
@@aaron_22766 It makes sense for Elrond to be the most skeptical at first, with Galadriel being the most open to it. Her biggest weakness was the temptation of power and recognition while Elrond directly tries to destroy the One ring as soon as he gets a chance. They seem to have kept it lore friendly while adding needed character depth and drama.
@@aaron_22766 Tolkien is clear that the Three are not "good", bc their purpose is to stop time. To flout the will of Eru and remain in Middle Earth, rejecting the call of the Valar. He called them Embalmers, and said the Elves are as obsessed with Mortality as the Numenoreans are.
We're not "haters". We are defending tolkein. They should make a show themselves. Not shoehorn their show into middle earth. It is highly disrespectful.
I'm so happy that yall are excited for this! While I'm a huge Tolkien/Middle Earth fan, I actually enjoyed the first season. Yes, it has its many negative sides but it shined with its positives ones and this trailer looks SO good and made me totally excited for Season 2, especially the Annatar and Celebrimbor storyline
The score of that trailer shot me in the feels. How can you not be moved when the music is THAT epic!? Keen to watch S1 ahead of S2. This trailer got me on board.
It's confirmed that 3 episodes will drop on August 19. They're probably a build up to that multi-episode battle they said is gonna happen this season. That battle is probably gonna start in episode 4
it was always difficult for me but Tolkien's names that start with C are almost always pronounced with a K sound, not an S. I also always used to say Cirdan, Celeborn, and Celebrimbor incorrectly too.
A new featurette on ROP season 2 just dropped an hour ago. Its three min long. This season might just knock HOTD S2 out of the park. I am loving what i see!! Bring on August 29th!!!
Barrowwights! Wow! Yeah that totally must be them. I was trying to figure who that could be. I COMPLETELY forgot about them since I haven't read the books since 2004 and there's no mention of them in the films.
It's like you either accept this is a different interpretation or don't watch it if you hated season 1 you know. I hate this forced hate let us enjoy the show in peace.
Yeah, it's HILARIOUS that people can watch and mostly like AN INFINATE amount of never ending interpretations of Batman, but anything not made by Peter Jackson or not using the LOTRs trilogy as far as Tolkien goes is as if it's against people's religion. So silly.
@@YodatheHobbit that's a pretty bad comparison since batman is literally made by a comic company, sure Bob Kane is credited with coming up with the idea of batman, but it was always a creation of multiple people. It was always propety of the comic company. The world of lord of the rings was always Tolkiens solo project. Edit: to be clear, im not hating on anyone for enjoying the show, im gonna watch s2 too. Im just saying the comparison is pretty bad. Especially since Tolkien is a legendary author who revolutionized fantazy.
@@KevinUchihaOG the comparison is actually pretty sound but if you want to use that logic then why praise the Peter Jackson films when they are not 1-1 to the books they are adapting lol there are creative differences that had to be made to even adapt the books to film in the first place and that was with more of the rights to the source material than the show has access to so of course it will have even more liberties that must be taken to get the story moving. I just don’t understand people expecting the most out of something that will NEVER be able to provide the full story the way they want it.
Dont even think for a second this season will be any better than season 1. They literally showed any kind of event that happened in the trailer. Remember how hyped people were for the battles teased in s1 and the balrog.? This season will be dogsht, just like 1 was. and have the context of a way better story makes the fanfiction even worse.
Great reaction! I really like the attitude, to just enjoy it even though not verything might be perfect for everybody. I also can't wait for the 2nd season. Just a minor correction (at 4:30) Sauron goes to Celebrimbor not Celeborn. Celeborn is Galadriel's husband. And these elven names are pronnounced with a [k], so it's [Keleborn/Kelebrimbor]. :)
It looks freaking good, and the naysayers are so fake they are just copy and pasting another opinions, it seems to have become popular to criticise, to fit in. The 1 season was good, this season looks amazing.
All evidence says you are wrong. Like to dislike ratio, rotten tomatoes scores, metacritic scores, viewership completion percentages, comments section and hollywood not giving a crap at any of their award shows.
first season was not good... You are allowed to like it though. Trailer for season 2 looks a lot more promising than the first. I just hope they cut as much as posible of galadriel and nori
@@provisionalhypothesisSo all the negative comments ("haters") are copying but none of the positive ones? I dont care about the lore stuff, the writing for characters is piss poor, so is the leading actress
I’m still trying to figure out where the money went for this show. Look at HoTD that had a smaller budget but the sets/costumes/acting absolutely destroy this pathetic excuse for a show.
I'm pretty sure we are going to see Celebrimbor be captured by Sauron to tell him the location of the elven rings tortured him then kill him and tie his body to a pole showcasing him as a banner
I’ve never been a HUGE LOTR fan, I enjoyed all their films and watched them all tho. Seems people that hate on this is because the show doesn’t stick to their lore as I’m understanding. I get it but for me I’m just enjoying the show for what it is.
@@dannielcruz460 And even then, characters are completely unlikeable (god, specially Galadriel), and act in ways that makes no sense not just with the Lore. Forget the Lore. It makes no sense with their own show characterization. Just think how much the show makes a huge effort of *telling* you the harfoots is a heartfelt community of hobbits and then it shows them how they have no problem abandoning people to death because a freaking sprained ankle. The show is filled up with moments like that. If you *do* add the lore, yeah, indeed, this show with this story and characters could as much be happening in Narnia or Shannara than in Middle Earth.
I went into season 1 with the same mindset. The thing is who cares about the lore. If u look at season 1 as it’s own interpretation and an open mind and judge it based on the rules it makes for itself in the show…. It’s a pretty bad show. It’s laughable how bad season 1 was. Nothing to do with the lore breaking because if the show is good and the characters are interesting, minor changes to the lore is not that big of a deal. Unfortunately, the story is boring and makes no sense half the time. The characters contradict themselves and each other many times. It wasn’t a good season 1 But I will go into season 2 with the same mentality I did in season 1. I hope it is improved
@@abudabi1995 If you went to a restaurant once and you were served shit, would you return to that restaurant? Well, myself, I am not going to, and only if I heard amazingly good reviews after the next season is over I would consider trying it again.
I loved the first season and I know how deep the lore goes, especially with the Silmarillion. People are just allergic to new interpretation. Let this universe breath... Tolkien has been dead for a long time now. Let this universe morph and twist.
Didn’t enjoy season 1 that much bar a few things but this trailer looks far far better than what I was expecting, albeit I missed the first trailer. Excited now for this to start up again
I honestly think they are sticking to an element from the books that the Elven rings don't corrupt from the get go. Not until the one ring is created, because Sauron wasn't part of their literally. creation/. Now the t=rings of men and dwarves were directly touched by Sauron and thus corruption was slow but from the beginning. So I think Galadriel at this point is correct. While in the largest frame Elrond is correct it just doesn't quite apply yet.
I know the first season got a lot of hate but I thought as a whole it was FINE. I enjoyed watching it all the way through. My hope is that they took the boatload of criticism they got from that first season and built something better in the second to prove the haters wrong. I wasn't a hater... but if the second season was better than the first I of course would be excited to see it 😃
„Now Celebrimbor was not corrupted in heart or faith, but had accepted Sauron as what he posed to be; and when at length he discovered the existence of the One Ring he revolted against Sauron, and went to Lórinand to take counsel once more with Galadriel. They should have destroyed all the Rings of Power at this time, "but they failed to find the strength." (J.R.R. Tolkien, Unfinished Tales, The History of Galadriel and Celeborn, page 256)
im guessing those masked people are Easterling tribesmen, Nori and Strangedalf were heading into Rhun with the mention of the 9 i wonder if Nori and Strangedalf are going to meet Khamul, the second in command of the Nazgul
@@vegvisir9276 what you mean show confirmation its cannon the only wizard who came into the second age was a blue wizard and the only wizard who went to Rhun was only a blue wizard Gandalf came around in the third age and Gandalf has no known connection to Rhûn he insisted he would never go to the east of Middle-earth. now for Gandalf being the stranger is unlikely as there’s no canonical evidence to support Gandalf showing up in Middle-earth during the Second Age In fact, it’s explicitly said in Tolkien’s texts that Olórin doesn’t arrive in the Grey Havens as Gandalf until about a thousand years into the Third Age. The Blue Wizards are the two other Istari sent to Middle-earth alongside Saruman, Gandalf, and Radagast. Unlike those three, all of whom arrive in Middle-earth during the Third Age, Tolkien wrote that the Blue Wizards showed up in Middle-earth in the Second Age. That detail opens the door for The Stranger to be one of the two Blue Wizards. Notably, Tolkien had little to say about these wizards, allowing their roles to be expanded without contradicting canon.
You should react to the "The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power - Call To Adventure" they released today. It's another four minutes with behind the scenes content. Super relevant and a lot of new information. Almost better than the trailer.
the fan fiction show does look better than the first season but still i dont believe they can do it justice if they dont own the rights to the story they are trying to tell.
again, this is just false and a baseless misinterpretation that haters have been flogging since 2022. I really wish people would do their own research and not just regurgitate shit from other people that don't know what they're talking about. What rights are missing ? good lord, you don't know what's in what book. Actually go read all of them before talking
I'm sure Eric knows this but he often slips up on names, but don't expect him to pronounce it correctly haha. 8 seasons of GoT reactions and he called Cersei 'Sear-say' every damn time
@@anni.68 it immediately came to my mind. Anyone who loves the movie and hates this show, would think “oh boy!!” I didn’t say they were connected to each other. It was a weak way to connect to a better storyline.
Tom Bombadil and the Ent-wives are not random picks for a Second Age show. It makes sense to include them. About the Barrow-wights we have to wait and see.
@@anni.68 Yes they are. None of them accomplished anything important in relation to Sauron or the Rings. Kinda like the Harfoots in fact. But you gotta have them in to bait people into watching the show I guess.
@@Angrenost02 Season 1 was obviously an introduction to the main characters and events of the Second Age. So far we have only seen 20% of the show. Compared to the movies we have only just arrived in the Mines of Moria. So, of course they did not "accomplish anything important" so far. The Harfoots provided the background story for Nori and the Stranger and these 2 will get the more important the more we approach the Battle of the Last Alliance. And Tom Bombadil will help the Stranger to accept his mission and to get rid of his doubts. The Entwives are an important part of the Second Age. We do not know yet what part they will play in the story and I do not care at all if they are "important" or "accomplish something". Who cares? They are part of the story, that's all that matters.
@@anni.68 Yet none of this story is Middle-Earth actual story. None of this is the actual Second Age. Bombadil should be roaming the world without a care; the only important thing the Entwives did in the Second Age was to lose their gardens (or even their lives) to Sauron's destruction. "I do not care at all if they are important or accomplish something." Yeah I imagine you don't. Key jangling of this sort is enough for you apparently. I suppose the Balrog cameo in the first season made you very happy. "Who cares?" I do. A lot of people do. People care about good and purposeful writing. People care about having the actual story of Middle-Earth adapted into a show about Tolkien's world, not this boring fanfiction.
@@Angrenost02 What "actual story" if I may ask? Are you talking about "The Fall of Numenor", because if you do you would know that there is no "actual story". Just a timeline, a few essays and summaries + the story of Aldarion and Erendis which does not come into this tale. Not to mention that the big events of the Second Age are yet to come. I find it strange that a Tolkien fan - of all people - clings to a mere framework and does not want to see more about Entwives Tom Bombadil or the ancestors of the Hobbits, just because Tolkien did not have the time to write about them. Do you love Middle-earth or do you not? I suppose you do. But only on your terms, right? Well, do not confuse your head canon with Tolkien's writings. "The only important thing the Entwives did in the Second Age was to lose their gardens (or even their lives) to Sauron's destruction." Who cares if what they did was "important" or not. Is your life "important" for the history of the world? And how do you know that they did not do anything important if Tolkien did not write about them? "Bombadil should be roaming the world without a care"? Says who? Tolkien? No, he didn't. He did not write anything about Second Age Tom Bombadil. So, I suppose he was doing nothing for 3500 years, right? Just like Cirdan and Galadriel for the greatest parts of their lives and the Blue Wizards and the Avari Elves, and Aragorn, too, did nothing in Rhun and Harad, because Tolkien did not write about it. Yeah... "Do not laugh! But once upon a time (my crest has long since fallen) I had a mind to make a body of more or less connected legend, ranging from the large and cosmogonic, to the level of romantic fairy-story (....) I would draw some of the great tales in fullness, and leave many only placed in the scheme, and sketched. The cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave scope for other minds and hands, wielding paint and music and drama." (J.R.R. Tolkien, Letter 131). „Amazon has a relatively free hand when it comes to adding something, since, as I said, very few details are known about this time span. The Tolkien Estate will insist that the main shape of the Second Age is not altered...All this, the course of history, must remain the same. But you can add new characters and ask a lot of questions, like: What has Sauron done in the meantime? Where was he after Morgoth was defeated? Theoretically, Amazon can answer these questions by inventing the answers, since Tolkien did not describe it. But it must not contradict anything which Tolkien did say. That’s what Amazon has to watch out for. It must be canonical, it is impossible to change the boundaries which Tolkien has created, it is necessary to remain “tolkienian”...the Tolkien Estate keeps a very careful eye on everything and is quite capable of saying no. They retain a veto over everything that concerns Tolkien." (Tom Shippey)
@@mirkecWii I watched season 1 just to make hopefully hilarious reviews for some forums. Season 2, I don't even want to give them a single view. Velma effect and all that.
@@anni.68 This show is pure fanfiction and has nothing to do with Tolkien. What exactly are you trying to argue? The Tolkien estate won’t give the full rights to the books for this exact reason because people don’t know how to be faithful to the books and what was actually written. They’d rather make shit up and cash in on Tolkiens name.
@@FaithAckerman-cb4oo There is no "book" about the period of time season 1 is set in. Just some notes. The big events of the Second Age start with season 2. And even then all we have is a short timeline, a few summaries and some essays. So, yes, of course the show is "fan fiction" and no rights could ever change that, because there is so little source material. Anybody who complains that RoP is not true to the source material just admits that he/she does not know the source material. Without Tolkien's "other minds and hands" (way better expression than fan fiction") there would NEVER be any Second Age adaptation, no matter who tries to make it.
@@anni.68 yeah there is. It’s called the Silmarillion. You should read it sometime. The Tolkien estate don’t want to sell the rights to the actual books for this exact reason. Because Hollywood wants to race swap and change things that are not necessary and promote an agenda. They have characters that exist thousands of years apart living in the same timeline. If you’re going to make a show based on the appendix, they should have tried to be more faithful.
@@anni.68 there actually is. It’s called the Silmarillion. You should read it sometime. Not sure what you’re trying to argue but it makes no sense. With what little source materiel they were given in the appendices of the return of the king, they completely butchered and changed and pushed an agenda with it.
To all the people that make the excuse that you are "defending his legacy" by hating and harassing the people that work on or even simply enjoy The Rings of Power: Professor Tolkien does not need you to defend his legacy, his work will survive long after any of us. Regardless of my feelings about the show, good or ill, if it gets new people to experience his work for the first time, then I welcome it.
@@supersuede6493 if you are not harassing or hating, then why feel the need to reply to me at all? Your actions prove otherwise, why insult those who simply enjoy something that you do not instead of just moving on with your life?
Tolkien would've hated Jacksons movies so i dunno what everyone is whining about ROP for, Jackson took out basically everything Tolkien loved the most about his story, all the songs, the long explanations about nature and trees etc
Seems that they have began to move closer to major events of the 2nd age, rather than invent stuff like they did with season 1. As a long time fan of the works of Tolkien it pleases me see that Amazon is finally moving in a direction where they take inspiration from the events of the 2nd age, rather than invent them entirely. I really hope that this isn't a fluke. And it seems that they are setting up the Easterlings and Haradrim for season 3 which is nice, for anyone who knows what goes on with that region down the line after the destruction of Ost-in-Edhil and the defeat of the elves in Eregion.
I'm a massive fan of the LOTR movies and a big enjoyer of the books! I've never known too much about the lore outside of the LOTR/Hobbit related things and I know what they show isn't perfect, but I really got into season 1 and I'm really excited for more!!
@@jasonmarbach People who have genuine criticisms are not necessarily 'haters'. Stereotyping a bit? And not necessarily 'nerderotic' fans. Me included.
@@adriandenton6637 Nah man, ROP is firmly documented as one of the genuinely review bombed properties. It’s not my fault that people with legit complaints (which, by the way, exist with EVERY entertainment property. No one anywhere minds legitimate criticism) get swallowed up when the vast majority of the complaints are hateful, spiteful bilge rooted in some form of bigotry or another.
Also, it’s very “hit dog hollering” to immediately see “haters” and say “that’s not fair!” If you’re not a hater, I’m not talking about you. Pretty simple.
@@katieee1203 No crime. A sin against good taste maybe but not an actual crime. Has anyone ever tried to direct you to some shows that are actually good? Maybe then you could see what one looks like and would know the difference from now on .
@@kumanight Well when you are dealing with people who are stupid enough to think Rings of Power is quality television sometimes you have to repeat yourself. These aren't the sharpest crayons in the box.
I don't like how they are making the Elven Rings seem like Sauron made them. That's the impression I get from this trailer. And that's just not how it is.
Did you watch S1? Because it clearly showed that they were made by the elves, not Sauron. The elves were influenced in their craft by his knowledge, of course, but that's canon.
I’m the opposite of Eric in that I don’t like that Tolkien has a lot of things he put in the story but have zero backstory and they just tease. Number 1 rule of storytelling is don’t put something in the story unless it will come back up later
You're actually telling tolkien the rules of storytelling psml😂. Not every book has to have things concrete. Thats the beauty of leaving it to the readers imagination.
I was so excited for season 1 and ended up so disappointed by the show. I see a lot of people saying they enjoyed the first season but I felt really let down, so it would be interesting to hear what about it people actually liked. I feel like each episode created new plot holes in each of the sub plots and so many character decisions just made no sense to me. I am a fan of the books and know what the show could have been if it remained faithful which upsets me, but I realized pretty quickly they were going their own direction with the show and stopped comparing them and took the show as its own creation, even still I had far more parts of it I disliked than parts I enjoyed. Even though I thought the first season was pretty bad I am still thankful for it. I likewise didn't think the Star Wars sequel movies were very good but they reignited the passion for Star Wars and would lead to the creation of some of my favorite Star Wars content like Mandalorian, Andor, Rogue One, and Bad Batch. Rings Of Power has already shown to have done that with projects like the Rohan animated movie and the Hunt for Gollum movie being announced. For that I really appreciate the show despite its flaws for really creating a desire for good lord of the rings content again.
celebrimbor falling for saurons trick after he knows what sauron did getting them to make the elven ones is not great. This is the issue they have doing what did in season one and making him already come and tempt him once. It makes him seem like complete idiot. Makes no sense. But least glad they doing what happened in book. But they have kinda written them selves into a corner after season one.
A change in something does not make it not great. It makes it different. You're silly. Stop expecting stories told in new mediums to be books. They are not books. They were never meant to be book. Adaptations are meant to adapt. Characters are meant to change.
He states, as the text says, he is an emissary of the Valar. Sauron appearing as a higher being is exactly why he is the deceiver, showing the people exactly what they want to see. Similar to Halbrand, he was created as a low man to lure Galadriel with a false sense of superiority.
Before he was only posing as a man, this time around he's pretending to be an emissary of the Valar, a Maia of great knowledge. Which isn't entirely untrue.
Did you not read his comment though? He is not saying he dislikes the change simply because it is a change, he specifically mentions the plot hole and confusion the change created by having Celebrimbor trust someone like that after knowing Sauron’s involvement in the creation of the rings, and if he doesn’t know then it creates a similar plot hole if Galadriel doesn’t tell anyone. I understand disliking the opinions that are just change=bad, but he gave legitimate criticism about why it didn’t make sense and that opinion should be respected. Just like it’s unfair to say all change is automatically bad, it’s also unfair to say you need to agree with all changes and can’t criticize them just because changes are going to happen.
I didn't mind the first season except for that one interrogation scene which immediately transitions into a genocidal threat (which is beyond f*cking stupid). Until they say Gandalf's name (which i still don't think they legally can) it ain't nothin but piss-poor fanfiction.
The barn sceen is awesome! A wonderful reference to Tolkien's "trembling moment". Very well done indeed! I hope the Stranger is indeed Gandalf, one of my favourite Maiar.
Can’t wait for this!! People are way too quick to hate but this looks better already, and unless you want perfection which is impossible nowadays this does seem promising
@@supersuede6493 They don't even have the rights to do everything exactly 1-1 and if they did this show would be dozens of seasons long due to how long of a time period this story is supposed to take place which is such a weird expectation to have especially when the Peter Jackson films themselves are not exact and instead ADAPTATIONS with creative differences lol
@@DarthGeist the time compression is a good thing. But the main problem we all have with the show is lore changes and bad writing. Galadriel is drastically different here than she is in the books, the elven rings are forged first, and poor writing makes the show unsatisfying for a lot of us. If you or other people like the show then that’s completely fine! I’m happy that you do, but let’s not attack people for disliking or liking something. It’s all just opinions.

Great reaction! I really like the attitude, to just enjoy it even though not verything might be perfect for everybody. I also can't wait for the 2nd season.
Just a minor correction (at 4:30) Sauron goes to Celebrimbor not Celeborn. Celeborn is Galadriel's husband. And these elven names are pronnounced with a [k], so it's [Keleborn/Kelebrimbor]. :)
If I remember my elvish correctly celeb means silver in sindarian
The music makes this trailer so fucking epic
The show runners stated that they won’t try to answer Tom Bombadil’s origins.
Can you guys start wheel of time?! 😭
"Damn!"
F**k the Haters. I am so excited for this 😍🤩
03:00; TREE? I AM NO TREE...
It looks freaking good, and the naysayers are so fake they are just copy and pasting another opinions, it seems to have become popular to criticise, to fit in. The 1 season was good, this season looks amazing.
All evidence says you are wrong. Like to dislike ratio, rotten tomatoes scores, metacritic scores, viewership completion percentages, comments section and hollywood not giving a crap at any of their award shows.
first season was not good... You are allowed to like it though. Trailer for season 2 looks a lot more promising than the first. I just hope they cut as much as posible of galadriel and nori
@@william9170 what a bunch of BS. is that why 15 million people watched the trailer ? you're blinded by your own hatred
@@provisionalhypothesisSo all the negative comments ("haters") are copying but none of the positive ones? I dont care about the lore stuff, the writing for characters is piss poor, so is the leading actress
I’m still trying to figure out where the money went for this show. Look at HoTD that had a smaller budget but the sets/costumes/acting absolutely destroy this pathetic excuse for a show.

Watch the new new trailer.
Haters come at me, I'm excited! Had a great time with the first season and this looks even better!
Avoided watching S1 because of the hate it got but so glad I ended up watching it.. really enjoyed it and can’t wait for S2
Tolkien said Gandalf already knew Tom Bombadil, this might be where he met him.
I'm pretty sure we are going to see Celebrimbor be captured by Sauron to tell him the location of the elven rings tortured him then kill him and tie his body to a pole showcasing him as a banner
Season 2 looks great!
I’ve never been a HUGE LOTR fan, I enjoyed all their films and watched them all tho. Seems people that hate on this is because the show doesn’t stick to their lore as I’m understanding. I get it but for me I’m just enjoying the show for what it is.
Buts it’s not LOTR why make a show that isn’t about its original universe
@@dannielcruz460 And even then, characters are completely unlikeable (god, specially Galadriel), and act in ways that makes no sense not just with the Lore. Forget the Lore. It makes no sense with their own show characterization. Just think how much the show makes a huge effort of *telling* you the harfoots is a heartfelt community of hobbits and then it shows them how they have no problem abandoning people to death because a freaking sprained ankle. The show is filled up with moments like that.
If you *do* add the lore, yeah, indeed, this show with this story and characters could as much be happening in Narnia or Shannara than in Middle Earth.
@@dannielcruz460 im guessing you didn't complain about Jacksons movies even though Tolkien would have likely hated them
I went into season 1 with the same mindset. The thing is who cares about the lore. If u look at season 1 as it’s own interpretation and an open mind and judge it based on the rules it makes for itself in the show…. It’s a pretty bad show. It’s laughable how bad season 1 was. Nothing to do with the lore breaking because if the show is good and the characters are interesting, minor changes to the lore is not that big of a deal. Unfortunately, the story is boring and makes no sense half the time. The characters contradict themselves and each other many times. It wasn’t a good season 1
But I will go into season 2 with the same mentality I did in season 1. I hope it is improved
@@abudabi1995 If you went to a restaurant once and you were served shit, would you return to that restaurant? Well, myself, I am not going to, and only if I heard amazingly good reviews after the next season is over I would consider trying it again.
Been waiting for you guys to react to this
God morfydd clarke is gorgeous af😍😅
I’m glad this show is finally getting the love it deserves
are there also non official trailer reactions
is this reaction notarized?
I loved the first season and I know how deep the lore goes, especially with the Silmarillion. People are just allergic to new interpretation. Let this universe breath... Tolkien has been dead for a long time now. Let this universe morph and twist.
That was Tom bombadil
Didn’t enjoy season 1 that much bar a few things but this trailer looks far far better than what I was expecting, albeit I missed the first trailer. Excited now for this to start up again
I am so excited about S2!!!!
the 9 rings of men were in the movies too
Only thing that would make me watch Season 2… would be a reboot, rewriting and recasting of the series.
I honestly think they are sticking to an element from the books that the Elven rings don't corrupt from the get go. Not until the one ring is created, because Sauron wasn't part of their literally. creation/. Now the t=rings of men and dwarves were directly touched by Sauron and thus corruption was slow but from the beginning. So I think Galadriel at this point is correct. While in the largest frame Elrond is correct it just doesn't quite apply yet.
The One was created BEFORE the Elven rings of three.
….
The one was created after the 3
I really liked season 1
I know the first season got a lot of hate but I thought as a whole it was FINE. I enjoyed watching it all the way through. My hope is that they took the boatload of criticism they got from that first season and built something better in the second to prove the haters wrong. I wasn't a hater... but if the second season was better than the first I of course would be excited to see it 😃
You are so much better than us haters. Good job.
The three Elven rings were not corrupted by Sauron as far as I know.
„Now Celebrimbor was not corrupted in heart or faith, but had accepted Sauron as what he posed to be; and when at length he discovered the existence of the One Ring he revolted against Sauron, and went to Lórinand to take counsel once more with Galadriel. They should have destroyed all the Rings of Power at this time, "but they failed to find the strength." (J.R.R. Tolkien, Unfinished Tales, The History of Galadriel and Celeborn, page 256)
S1 was awesome, so excited for this! Bring on 29 august already!
Sauron did nothing wrong! 😅😅

Looks so good. I thoroughly enjoyed Season 1, can't wait for season 2.
im guessing those masked people are Easterling tribesmen, Nori and Strangedalf were heading into Rhun
with the mention of the 9 i wonder if Nori and Strangedalf are going to meet Khamul, the second in command of the Nazgul
Good call. I missed that detail in my reaction. That makes sense.
@@pigskinpoetry no he isn't Gandalf but a blue wizard
@@isaiahwynn-b8h can you show confirmation of that with sources?
@@vegvisir9276 what you mean show confirmation its cannon the only wizard who came into the second age was a blue wizard and the only wizard who went to Rhun was only a blue wizard Gandalf came around in the third age and Gandalf has no known connection to Rhûn he insisted he would never go to the east of Middle-earth. now for Gandalf being the stranger is unlikely as there’s no canonical evidence to support Gandalf showing up in Middle-earth during the Second Age In fact, it’s explicitly said in Tolkien’s texts that Olórin doesn’t arrive in the Grey Havens as Gandalf until about a thousand years into the Third Age. The Blue Wizards are the two other Istari sent to Middle-earth alongside Saruman, Gandalf, and Radagast. Unlike those three, all of whom arrive in Middle-earth during the Third Age, Tolkien wrote that the Blue Wizards showed up in Middle-earth in the Second Age. That detail opens the door for The Stranger to be one of the two Blue Wizards. Notably, Tolkien had little to say about these wizards, allowing their roles to be expanded without contradicting canon.
You should react to the "The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power - Call To Adventure" they released today. It's another four minutes with behind the scenes content. Super relevant and a lot of new information. Almost better than the trailer.
You need to pay a little more attention to the Ent!
the fan fiction show does look better than the first season but still i dont believe they can do it justice if they dont own the rights to the story they are trying to tell.
again, this is just false and a baseless misinterpretation that haters have been flogging since 2022. I really wish people would do their own research and not just regurgitate shit from other people that don't know what they're talking about. What rights are missing ? good lord, you don't know what's in what book. Actually go read all of them before talking
Erik!! Duuuude! you missed the entwife!
why is it that elrond and durin seem the only sensible/intelligent characters?
Sauron goes to Celebrimbor, not Celeborn. And both of them are pronounced with a hard c.
I've known this for 40 years, and when I am in a hurry I still say them backwards....
I'm sure Eric knows this but he often slips up on names, but don't expect him to pronounce it correctly haha. 8 seasons of GoT reactions and he called Cersei 'Sear-say' every damn time
This seems to be better than season 1…except for the “he is no man”…. Did y’all hear my eyes roll 🙄 😂😂
is this more right wing anti-women fear mongering again ? you're afraid of women, is that it ?

@@anni.68 mi know, it was still cringy
@@froggybug Only for people who focus too much on the movies.These two scenes could hardly have less in common.
@@anni.68 it immediately came to my mind. Anyone who loves the movie and hates this show, would think “oh boy!!” I didn’t say they were connected to each other. It was a weak way to connect to a better storyline.
Tom Bombadil, Barrow-wights, Ent-wives... Yep, totally not plucking things from the lore and dropping them randomly in the show there.
Tom Bombadil and the Ent-wives are not random picks for a Second Age show. It makes sense to include them. About the Barrow-wights we have to wait and see.
@@anni.68 Yes they are. None of them accomplished anything important in relation to Sauron or the Rings. Kinda like the Harfoots in fact. But you gotta have them in to bait people into watching the show I guess.
@@Angrenost02 Season 1 was obviously an introduction to the main characters and events of the Second Age. So far we have only seen 20% of the show. Compared to the movies we have only just arrived in the Mines of Moria. So, of course they did not "accomplish anything important" so far. The Harfoots provided the background story for Nori and the Stranger and these 2 will get the more important the more we approach the Battle of the Last Alliance. And Tom Bombadil will help the Stranger to accept his mission and to get rid of his doubts. The Entwives are an important part of the Second Age. We do not know yet what part they will play in the story and I do not care at all if they are "important" or "accomplish something". Who cares? They are part of the story, that's all that matters.
@@anni.68 Yet none of this story is Middle-Earth actual story. None of this is the actual Second Age. Bombadil should be roaming the world without a care; the only important thing the Entwives did in the Second Age was to lose their gardens (or even their lives) to Sauron's destruction.
"I do not care at all if they are important or accomplish something."
Yeah I imagine you don't. Key jangling of this sort is enough for you apparently. I suppose the Balrog cameo in the first season made you very happy.
"Who cares?"
I do. A lot of people do. People care about good and purposeful writing. People care about having the actual story of Middle-Earth adapted into a show about Tolkien's world, not this boring fanfiction.
@@Angrenost02 What "actual story" if I may ask? Are you talking about "The Fall of Numenor", because if you do you would know that there is no "actual story". Just a timeline, a few essays and summaries + the story of Aldarion and Erendis which does not come into this tale.
Not to mention that the big events of the Second Age are yet to come. I find it strange that a Tolkien fan - of all people - clings to a mere framework and does not want to see more about Entwives Tom Bombadil or the ancestors of the Hobbits, just because Tolkien did not have the time to write about them. Do you love Middle-earth or do you not? I suppose you do. But only on your terms, right? Well, do not confuse your head canon with Tolkien's writings.
"The only important thing the Entwives did in the Second Age was to lose their gardens (or even their lives) to Sauron's destruction." Who cares if what they did was "important" or not. Is your life "important" for the history of the world? And how do you know that they did not do anything important if Tolkien did not write about them?
"Bombadil should be roaming the world without a care"? Says who? Tolkien? No, he didn't. He did not write anything about Second Age Tom Bombadil. So, I suppose he was doing nothing for 3500 years, right? Just like Cirdan and Galadriel for the greatest parts of their lives and the Blue Wizards and the Avari Elves, and Aragorn, too, did nothing in Rhun and Harad, because Tolkien did not write about it. Yeah...
"Do not laugh! But once upon a time (my crest has long since fallen) I had a mind to make a body of more or less connected legend, ranging from the large and cosmogonic, to the level of romantic fairy-story (....) I would draw some of the great tales in fullness, and leave many only placed in the scheme, and sketched. The cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave scope for other minds and hands, wielding paint and music and drama." (J.R.R. Tolkien, Letter 131).
„Amazon has a relatively free hand when it comes to adding something, since, as I said, very few details are known about this time span. The Tolkien Estate will insist that the main shape of the Second Age is not altered...All this, the course of history, must remain the same. But you can add new characters and ask a lot of questions, like: What has Sauron done in the meantime? Where was he after Morgoth was defeated? Theoretically, Amazon can answer these questions by inventing the answers, since Tolkien did not describe it. But it must not contradict anything which Tolkien did say. That’s what Amazon has to watch out for. It must be canonical, it is impossible to change the boundaries which Tolkien has created, it is necessary to remain “tolkienian”...the Tolkien Estate keeps a very careful eye on everything and is quite capable of saying no. They retain a veto over everything that concerns Tolkien." (Tom Shippey)
Dont want to watch this but I'm really interested in how they will potray Tom Bombadil
😂
I can tell you already: badly
@@cathakjordi well that's why I'm interested 😂

You people really are sick in the mind. Please get help.
It looks ridiculously good. Can't wait.
This show is a slap to Tolkien in the face!!! The whole show is fan-fiction. The synopsis and the majority of characters don’t exist in the universe.
You confuse Tolkien's books with his worldbuilding. They are two different things.
@@anni.68 This show is pure fanfiction and has nothing to do with Tolkien. What exactly are you trying to argue? The Tolkien estate won’t give the full rights to the books for this exact reason because people don’t know how to be faithful to the books and what was actually written. They’d rather make shit up and cash in on Tolkiens name.
@@FaithAckerman-cb4oo There is no "book" about the period of time season 1 is set in. Just some notes. The big events of the Second Age start with season 2. And even then all we have is a short timeline, a few summaries and some essays. So, yes, of course the show is "fan fiction" and no rights could ever change that, because there is so little source material. Anybody who complains that RoP is not true to the source material just admits that he/she does not know the source material.
Without Tolkien's "other minds and hands" (way better expression than fan fiction") there would NEVER be any Second Age adaptation, no matter who tries to make it.
@@anni.68 yeah there is. It’s called the Silmarillion. You should read it sometime. The Tolkien estate don’t want to sell the rights to the actual books for this exact reason. Because Hollywood wants to race swap and change things that are not necessary and promote an agenda. They have characters that exist thousands of years apart living in the same timeline. If you’re going to make a show based on the appendix, they should have tried to be more faithful.
@@anni.68 there actually is. It’s called the Silmarillion. You should read it sometime. Not sure what you’re trying to argue but it makes no sense. With what little source materiel they were given in the appendices of the return of the king, they completely butchered and changed and pushed an agenda with it.
To all the people that make the excuse that you are "defending his legacy" by hating and harassing the people that work on or even simply enjoy The Rings of Power: Professor Tolkien does not need you to defend his legacy, his work will survive long after any of us. Regardless of my feelings about the show, good or ill, if it gets new people to experience his work for the first time, then I welcome it.
No one is hating nor harassing anyone over simply saying "this is garbage" among a crowd of yes men. You mean "dislike"
Middle aged men defending Tolkien’s legacy haha. Shouldn’t they be working?
@@supersuede6493 if you are not harassing or hating, then why feel the need to reply to me at all? Your actions prove otherwise, why insult those who simply enjoy something that you do not instead of just moving on with your life?
@@supersuede6493 there are plenty of people calling people who enjoy ROP shills, sheep and far worse
Tolkien would've hated Jacksons movies so i dunno what everyone is whining about ROP for, Jackson took out basically everything Tolkien loved the most about his story, all the songs, the long explanations about nature and trees etc
Seems that they have began to move closer to major events of the 2nd age, rather than invent stuff like they did with season 1. As a long time fan of the works of Tolkien it pleases me see that Amazon is finally moving in a direction where they take inspiration from the events of the 2nd age, rather than invent them entirely.
I really hope that this isn't a fluke. And it seems that they are setting up the Easterlings and Haradrim for season 3 which is nice, for anyone who knows what goes on with that region down the line after the destruction of Ost-in-Edhil and the defeat of the elves in Eregion.
This has been the plan all along. My only issue with s1 was the pacing and some dialogue
Tolkien weeps

I think it's confirmed that it's Tom.

I’m the opposite of Eric in that I don’t like that Tolkien has a lot of things he put in the story but have zero backstory and they just tease. Number 1 rule of storytelling is don’t put something in the story unless it will come back up later
You're actually telling tolkien the rules of storytelling psml😂. Not every book has to have things concrete. Thats the beauty of leaving it to the readers imagination.
I was so excited for season 1 and ended up so disappointed by the show. I see a lot of people saying they enjoyed the first season but I felt really let down, so it would be interesting to hear what about it people actually liked. I feel like each episode created new plot holes in each of the sub plots and so many character decisions just made no sense to me. I am a fan of the books and know what the show could have been if it remained faithful which upsets me, but I realized pretty quickly they were going their own direction with the show and stopped comparing them and took the show as its own creation, even still I had far more parts of it I disliked than parts I enjoyed.
Even though I thought the first season was pretty bad I am still thankful for it. I likewise didn't think the Star Wars sequel movies were very good but they reignited the passion for Star Wars and would lead to the creation of some of my favorite Star Wars content like Mandalorian, Andor, Rogue One, and Bad Batch. Rings Of Power has already shown to have done that with projects like the Rohan animated movie and the Hunt for Gollum movie being announced. For that I really appreciate the show despite its flaws for really creating a desire for good lord of the rings content again.
Uh, Transformers One trailer?
celebrimbor falling for saurons trick after he knows what sauron did getting them to make the elven ones is not great. This is the issue they have doing what did in season one and making him already come and tempt him once. It makes him seem like complete idiot. Makes no sense. But least glad they doing what happened in book. But they have kinda written them selves into a corner after season one.
A change in something does not make it not great. It makes it different.
You're silly. Stop expecting stories told in new mediums to be books. They are not books. They were never meant to be book.
Adaptations are meant to adapt. Characters are meant to change.
I think that Sauron appears as a another for Celebrimbor or whoever would recognize his face... if not it's kind of a conundrum yeah
He states, as the text says, he is an emissary of the Valar. Sauron appearing as a higher being is exactly why he is the deceiver, showing the people exactly what they want to see. Similar to Halbrand, he was created as a low man to lure Galadriel with a false sense of superiority.
Before he was only posing as a man, this time around he's pretending to be an emissary of the Valar, a Maia of great knowledge. Which isn't entirely untrue.
Did you not read his comment though? He is not saying he dislikes the change simply because it is a change, he specifically mentions the plot hole and confusion the change created by having Celebrimbor trust someone like that after knowing Sauron’s involvement in the creation of the rings, and if he doesn’t know then it creates a similar plot hole if Galadriel doesn’t tell anyone.
I understand disliking the opinions that are just change=bad, but he gave legitimate criticism about why it didn’t make sense and that opinion should be respected.
Just like it’s unfair to say all change is automatically bad, it’s also unfair to say you need to agree with all changes and can’t criticize them just because changes are going to happen.
I didn't mind the first season except for that one interrogation scene which immediately transitions into a genocidal threat (which is beyond f*cking stupid).
Until they say Gandalf's name (which i still don't think they legally can) it ain't nothin but piss-poor fanfiction.
The barn sceen is awesome! A wonderful reference to Tolkien's "trembling moment". Very well done indeed!

@@tevildo45 oh look, a hater has appeared.
@@DarthGeist the time compression is a good thing. But the main problem we all have with the show is lore changes and bad writing. Galadriel is drastically different here than she is in the books, the elven rings are forged first, and poor writing makes the show unsatisfying for a lot of us.
