  • @Sportsfilmappreciator

  • @Marandahir
    @Marandahir Pƙed 25 dny +3

    It’s great that they’ve made Celebrimbor lose his hand. It’s no secret that Tolkien based Celebrimbor on Nudd Llaw Ereint, the silver-smith god of Welsh mythology and the Mabinogion (equivalent to Irish Nuada and Romano-British Nodens), specifically off the portray of the God at the Romano-British shrine at Lydny Park (Lydny is a corruption of Lludd Llaw Ereint, which itself was a metathesis of Nudd Llaw Ereint).
    Nudd or Lludd famously lost his hand and replaced it with a silver one (just like Nuada Argatlam lost an arm and replaced it with a silver one). The shrine has connections to Tolkien’s ideas about the Ring, Moria, and the friendship of Elves and Dwarves in Eregion.
    So I would expect to see a Silver-fisted Celebrimbor later in the season to match the meaning of his name!

    The snowy tower is probably the tower from the start of ep 1 from s1, where Sauron conducted his experiments. The scene we see here is probably a flshback to when Adar betrays Sauron and the explotion is caused by the disruption of the experiment and Saurons physical forms destruction.

    Perhaps the logic regarding Annatar is this: we (the audience) know who he is, but by using the same actor/face, we're showing you the power of Sauron to fully deceive the elves...so much so that he can appear as 'elf' and not be noticed. Other thought is that Sauron invades Celebrimbor's brain (Inception/Dark Lord occlumency style) and makes him believe that he can make more rings and then control those people groups with the elven rings... (which would be a silly & possibly useless twist on what Sauron's plan is anyway).
    Like you, I feel it's that storyline that really needs a major form of redemption in this season. We shall see what comes...

    Look where the point of the arrow is at 8:17
    It's on the wrong side of the bow.
    When the archer is right handed, the bow has to be held on the left hand, and the arrow has to be shot on the right side of the bow.
    That's how I was trained in Japanese archery (Kyujutsu) and the English long bow. Unless this is some technique I have not heard of, do correct me if I'm wrong.

    There was a different actor for Annatar. It was an Indian guy. When Amazon revealed it, there was a backlash, Amazon withdrew it. Then Dictor Van Doomcock revealed that they had to do some "reshooting". That is most likely why there was no trailer for Rings of Power during the superbowl earlier this year. The dates coincide.
    I don't know about you but I prefer this actor to play Annatar at this point. A familiar face is better than another miscast. Lol

    Siege of Eregion possibly? I think keeping Charlie Vickers is just a creative choice. You could have his shapeshifting be a core part of the character where anyone could be Sauron, but they’ve decided it’s better we invest in this actor’s portrayal. I don’t think they’re trying to portray him as looking the same, just with hair and ears, it’s just we the audience see that it’s still “Sauron” but characters in the show will see someone different. It’s just a different way of portraying a shapeshifter.

    You keep making the point that he's the same actor, everyone will recognize him, however; Gandalf basically tells gimli that Saruman can look to him however he wants to appear. Sauron is way more powerful than Saruman. It doesn't matter if he walks around without a costume. If he wanted to remain hidden he would.

    Creating a context between consecutive scenes in the teaser setup may lead to misconceptions about the scenario. So I don't think there's a relationship between the scene where Durin IV is speaking and what's going on. That thing could possibly be a depiction of the incarnation of Sauron trying to infiltrate or incarnate into Lindon for the purpose of manipulating the elves.

    Long blonde hair? I doubt he’d present himself as a Vanyar elf as Galadriel is mostly Vanyar herself of the Calaquendi. So she’d know even faster that Annatar is totally not something to treat with. Ever. And she made sure it spread that this character is not to be treated nor allowed in your areas etc etc. Vanyar are a super close knit and very powerful clan that have earned the position of right hands of the Valar. Those who learned from and communed with the Valar upon the mountain where doom(fates) are to be studied and decided. They often could see Maiar and Valar a lot easier then other elves for various reasons. The ainur reside fully in the unseen realm and are not walking around Valinor every day.

By the time of the sack of Eregion, Sauron's not trying to fool anyone anymore. I'm still hoping Sauron as Annatar will be played by an other actor. If this trailer's Sauron look is Sauron's default/revealed look going forward, I think that would be fine.

I do hope they don't rehash the story of "who is Sauron? Where is he?" Again. I'm fine with some dramatic irony where the audience sees his plan unfold and knows who he is and the characters are trying to figure out what is going on.
