    Second season is epic and more characters with multifaceted layers which I find it fun to watch. Seeing Sauron as master of manipulation is exquisite. It’s more interesting seeing Sauron in physical form influenced main characters compares to the Lord of the rings just a watchful eye on the tower.

    I love these seasons of Lord of the rings: the rings of power. As far as I'm concerned it fits in trilogies of Peter Jackson's masterpiece. I think they followed as close as they could to what JRR Tolkien and I understand his grandson was the consultant.

    BTW, I am happy that the second season has become so much better. I don’t know what did it but I am happy it worked. It is very depressing to see all the little foot soldiers of the culture war bringing their foam at the mouth about the imagined wokeness of the show to the comments.

      So the fact that every single group in middle-earth is now "diverse" which is nonsensical & contradicts the lore has nothing to do with woke ideology? When every single adaptation and illustration up until now was all white, but now we have afro-elves and afro-dwarves and afro-númenoreans all of a sudden? You're embarrassing yourself.

    • @gpeddino
      @gpeddino Месяц назад +1

      It was better than the first season but it still need some improvement. All the spotlight was on the Elves/Dwarves and the other storylines suffered. Númenor, Rhûn and the South needed more development. Sauron and Celebrimbor were the highlights.

    I am impressed at some of the knowledge that the cast have of the lore (kudos to Charlie Vickers for bringing up Beren), but you can tell that none of them is a real Silmarillion fan because otherwise 60% of them would have said “Maedhros” and 35% “Finrod”.

    Tolkien’s LOTR among other well known classical works have been tagged as triggers for 'far-right' extremism by a Uk anti-terrorism group.
    This reinterpretation of LOTR seems to be a deliberate attempt to destroy Tolkien’s epic morality tale which has been so influential in shaping western thought on issues of good verses evil.

    • @annafdd
      @annafdd 2 месяца назад +3

      No, not really. This is very close to canon and to Tolkien’s ideas. The seduction of power, the possibility of redemption, friendship and love… it’s all there. And of course, Sauron as readers of LOTR never had a chance to see him: as somebody who was almost on the brink of repentance, a being of beauty and terror.
