Can't believe they actually showed the orcs laughing as Sauron in human form, as written in Nature of Middle Earth. The entire Halbrand story was created for this exact moment 😂
These are not Eastern Uruk, but they also do not serve Sauron and laugh at him. And Sauron cannot do anything, otherwise he wouldnt be walking in chains and listening to ridicule.
@@jeonwonwoos “Note of the Delay of Gil-Galad and the Numenoreans” Chapter XVIII NOME “But not until Mordor and the Barad-dur were ready could he allow them to out of hiding, while the Eastern Orcs, who had not experienced the power and terror of Eldar, or the valour of the Edain, were not subservient to Sauron - while he was obliged for cozening the Western Men and Elves to wear a fair form and countenance as he could, they despised him and laughed at him.” Essentially what this passage means is that during Saurons time as Annatar in the west deceiving the elves, the eastern orcs did not serve nor respect him until Barad-dur and Mordor were made. Lines up with what we’re getting here which is nice.
I know Sauron was giggling inside during this entire encounter, bro lives for drama…it must be fun knowing nobody on the entire continent can actually take you out. All this shapeshifting is probably just Sauron passing the time, cause he could’ve easily walked into Mordor and slapped everyone silly in minutes.
@@bluewhitespartan5258actually if you read the lore Sauron at his absolute weakest is country level Which is more then enough to do exactly just that That’s not even including his higher levels when he is more powerful
It is just ridiculous to read that Sauron likes to grovel in chains instead of sitting on the throne and commanding. He cannot do anything, that is why he grovels and is full of senseless anger.
The old Adar was perfect, he had that melancholy and weariness combined with strong conviction in his voice while the new one seems to have a more generic raspy bad guy voice.
They said in an interview that they didn't even read the criticism of the first season. They are leaning nothing. This season is going to be just as bad as the first. This interaction in this scene makes no sense.
The first season was amazing. It set the stage without being overly dramatic in its portrayal of Sauron. I think it was excellently done. Not every season should be huge and action packed it’s nice to have that slower pace of stage setting.
I waited for so long for a LOTR series, I was unable to finish the first episode, dont know where to put the blame on exactly. Is it that bad? Shoud I give it another go?
And Adar's charisma evaporated. Joseph Mole was the only bright spot in this series. Yes, I want to hope that Sam Hazeldine can become the new Adar, because there are some beginnings, but for now Joseph Mole is forever in the heart.
I agree! It looks awesome, I have been a long time fan of the Tolkien works, I’ve read all the books and I love these series and I can’t wait for season 2. At this point I just ignore the haters.
I wonder why is Sauron trying to save Mordor's humans and pretending to be Halbrand, when he's powerful enough to take Adar out right here and now and claim the army, without need for mercy over humanity.
1.- He's trying to make a big plan to make the rings and damage Eregion, it's all an act. If he was a normal man nobody would hear him. But being the king and wanting to protect his people is worth listening. 2.- I'm not sure in what way, but the show runners have said that he starts low this season and starts gaining power bit by bit.
He walks in chains and grovels precisely because he CANNOT take out, cannot do something against Adar. If it were up to him, he would certainly prefer to sit on the throne and command.
He always gets in trouble when he gets into melee fights with other characters, but he throws the whole world into chaos when he uses his manipulative genius.
This show has strayed pretty far from canon (the elves making their 3 rings with Sauron before the 7 dwarf and 9 rings of power were made for men, the stranger/Gandalf appearing in the 2nd age, the whole Adar plot, etc...) I'm really hoping they rein some of that in this season or at the very least come up with a creative storyline that makes all these new additions to the canon make more sense.
We do not know yet if he is Gandalf or one of the Blues, and "Gandalf" did already come to Middle-earth during the Years of the Trees as one of the Guardians. Tolkien also wrote: „That Olórin [Gandalf], as was possible for one of the Maiar, had already visited Middle-earth and had become acquainted not only with the Sindarin Elves and others deeper in Middle-earth, but also with Men, is likely, but nothing is (has yet been) said of this.“ (The Peoples of Middle-earth - Part 2, Chapter XIII, "Last Writings")
@@anni.68 "As was possible..." and "actually was confirmed to be there" are 2 different things. Either way the whole stranger story line seems lame in any case.
Excellent just excellent I loved season one and this looks even better so hyped I loved this dialogue I can’t say I understand exactly whether he knows it’s Sauron i haven’t read a lot of the books but still interesting
If you had read the books, you know what a joke of a series this is.....though even on it's own it's a joke. Billion dollar series and yet the 90s Hercules series has better dialogue and costumes in it.
It's only one scene but this version of Adar, whilst brimming with menace, does lack some of the nuance, and lingering heft of the previous version. It's a bit one-note, but I do think that's intentional and generous, allowing a fixed plane for the layers of Sauron to bounce off and echo like the breaking of the first silence... or something.
This scene seems to belong to one of the last episodes in this upcoming season. The sorcerer Halbrand refers to is definitely Annatar, who is actually Halbrand, Sauron himself. Besides, he says that Galadriel's been defeated, so this is definitely one of the last episodes.
Adar has known since episode 6 last season and the words "Your Majesty" is just another proof of this. This is a clear ironic allusion to the coronation ceremony in the northern fortress, which ended with the disincarnation of Sauron. There is a lot of evidence
The Uruk dont know who he is (at that time), but Adar does (and he must know that there is no human king in the Southlands at all). This is a dialogue with a double meaning. Note that he told him, "We defeated the people of these lands and their allies," not "your people."
The thing about Sauron is that he is a grand master manipulator and deceiver. I think he gave Adar and his orcs the illusion of free will and they unwittingly did Sauron's bidding up until now.
It seems to me that Joseph had more complicated emotions, I can imagine his burning gaze at that moment. But we have to watch season 2 to draw conclusions
I would also like to see Joseph in a new interaction with Galadriel and Sauron, and at least one moment when Mawle fights with a sword in his hands. I hope to see Hazeldine in fight.
Adar is probably the best villain in a long time. Really wished they had made RoP its own property Zack Snyder style. Would've spared the series all the haters.
Funny. He will never help Sauron. I doubt you have watched any of new videos and season 1 at all. Sauron is just groveling before him, and even more in future.
@@LightLeanor19 yep lol according to google , as i watched a trailer with the dude and just tried to find out who he represented canon wise , which is santa of gondolin
@@LightLeanor19 no just from what i gathered from a trailer as i vowed never to watch, like if villeneuve or someone ever decided to take on the silmarilion in some way i would but i think its genuinely impossible after what christopher tolkien released more recently such as the children of hurin or the fall of gondolin. but seeing the kinslaying live action would be orgasmic
I disliked Season One. I am a true Tolkien fan and I love his principles. Though I must say, compared to the film coming this Christmas, which seems to have learned nothing from the past, Season Two here is looking more appealing.
Yeah 100%. It's really sad. Years ago you could get a guage on how the people felt about a video by looking at how many stars a video had. Then they took that away. Then you could get a gauge judging by the amount of dislikes a video had. Then they took that away. Then you could go down to the comments to get a gauge on how people felt. They have taken that away too by using bots and bolstering bot comments so today it's much more difficult to see how real people feel about something. Pretty dystopian.

That is not what Sauron is capable of.

Well, I have to admit that the dialogue so far is better than season 1. Hopefully this is a sign of much needed improvement.
Yea the Dialogue was probebly the worst thing in season 1 this is much better
@@musicinc.819 casting too
As much as I like the former actor who played Adar, congratulations to Sam right there. Dude sure delivered!
The old Adar was perfect, he had that melancholy and weariness combined with strong conviction in his voice while the new one seems to have a more generic raspy bad guy voice.
it looks SO much better than season 1
Non è che sia migliore della prima stagione, è la narrazione che va avanti.
It is?
Agreed, we’ll see how much better it turns out to be
Agreed 💯 percent 😅🎉
No, sadly it is not
0:15 Moses : "let my people go"
That was funny 😂 looks great so far though 🎉
😂😂😂😂😂
Be careful, Adar!
I can't believe it... I just tried to warn an Orc 😄
He prefers " Uruk"... You will see...
Adar isn’t an orc?
@@uskz708 Well...He is an Elf, tortured and corrupted by Morgoth. One of the first Orcs.
Corruption is about the temptation of darkness, not about captives.
😂😂😂
0:16 “let my people go”. Ok Moses 😂
Sauron is gonna absolutely butcher Adar this season.
È inevitabile,ma un po' mi dispiace😢
Sauron cannot do anything
Why ?@@LightLeanor19
If he could, he would have defeated A. instead of groveling. He is too weak for this
and later, he will also be hindered by one oath
Adar's calm and quiet demeanor makes him terryifing and magnetic at the same time.
We could create a perpetual energy generator with how much Tolkien is tuning in his grave.
New Adar performance is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
i already forgot what the last adar looked like, i like this one...
I'm excited. It looks better than the first season and I hope they learned. We'll see I guess

Sam Hazeldine is awesome man, wow!!👏🔥
Never thought I’d see the day where a Rings Of Power video on RUclips had a *somewhat* positive comment section 😂
Why not release the whole season at once. Fallout had a full season release. One of the best shows on prime, if not the best. Why not this one?
Some poorly thought out way to milk it is my guess
And Adar's charisma evaporated. Joseph Mole was the only bright spot in this series. Yes, I want to hope that Sam Hazeldine can become the new Adar, because there are some beginnings, but for now Joseph Mole is forever in the heart.
Glad to see Waldrack
Hard act to follow but major props to the new Adar
So much negativity...
This looks damn amazing!! 💜

Sauron just walked into Adar’s minecraft world and decided it was his
I can't believe Sauron said it's ringin time. I'm completely sold on this series!

he probably wants to toy with Adar a bit, Sauron being Sauron
Nonsense. Adar plays with him like a toy, do you think Sauron likes all this?)
He walks in chains and grovels precisely because he CANNOT take out, cannot do something against Adar.
If it were up to him, he would certainly prefer to sit on the throne and command.
The great Deceiver !!!
Looks like a great scene! 🙂
No I get it why he is called Sauron "The Deceiver".
He always gets in trouble when he gets into melee fights with other characters, but he throws the whole world into chaos when he uses his manipulative genius.
I can't wait for season 2 it's been a long time and finally 6 days left until the show

Adar buddy, we've seen the Palantir that is the LOTR trilogy. Sauron is still around thousands of years later, you ... are not. 😁

I thought Adar knew that Halbrand was Sauron. Or maybe it's a flashback.
Adar knows, that is why he treats him like that. Compare how kind he was to Arondir. But this is Sauron.
@@LightLeanor19No Adar still doesn't know he is Sauron that's why he is referring him as your majesty. He literally deceives every person he meets.
