If you think about it, the elves do recognize Halbrand when he "has the wig", but you have to understand that he does not present himself as a different person from Halbrand, but he introduces himself as Halbrand and after that he probably lies saying that he is a messenger of the Valar making that change of appearance that we see in the trailer. And then when they discover that he really is Sauron, he doesn't care about keeping that same appearance, but he changes his clothes. So all that "how is it possible that they don't recognize him", they actually do
6:11 I did see an article that they said Tom will be a teeny bit more serious, but also will have his lighthearted song-y vibe. Which I’m ok with. Because book Tom is a little too silly for me 😂
Loved your reaction. Is nice to see people talking about this show without the usual hate talk. Apart from that, that scene on 7:50 is from the siege of Eregion, not Númenor.
They do it for the money. The few that want to see this reactions are usually the few lovers of this trash called Rings of Power. The show its bad beyond repair. Its insulting on so many levels.... Im amazed people can even like it... truly. Science would study it someday.
@@Alejojojo6 Let people enjoy what they like. And obviously she'll do it for money (And this doesn't mean that he does it just for money either), that's what RU-vid is for
Hugs Kritter! Love your reactions and I'm too so so excited for this 2d season. I too am a huge Tolkien fan, but came to the books late. Was introduced to them by my hubby, and we both introduced our kids to them as well. I've read the Silmarillion the Lost Children of Huron as well (via audiobook) and watched the movies several times. And my hubby's wedding ring, which I wear with mine around my neck since his passing 5 years ago, is THE Ring of Power, complete with the words in elvish. I'm so excited!!!
The letters are Elvish, but the language is that of Mordor. I have never understood why anyone would want to wear Sauron's Ring. As Tolkien wrote (Letters #343) to Sterling Lanier, "I had a similar disappointment when a drinking goblet arrived (from a fan) which proved to be of steel engraved with the terrible words seen on the Ring. I of course have never drunk from it, but use it for tobacco ash."
@@majkus probably because the ring is one of the best symbols of the property that we know and love, one that’s wearable, beautiful, and subtle if you want to incorporate it into your everyday life
9:11 in the beginning of the trailer you see Celebrimbor close doors of a room/holding cell with”Halbrand” in it. I’m guess he’ll do some sort of reveal to Celebrimbor that he isn’t this lowly Halbrand, but actually an emissary of the Valar with all his lies and deception. It looks like Galadriels finally tells the elves in Lindon, so maybe word has not or does not get back to Celebrimbor about this until it’s too late
Very heavy on the Elves, this trailer. Glad to see they're not giving too much away with regard to other plots. Though...Eruption of Meneltarma a bit early? Are we seeing parts of Akallabeth in S2? Bombadil..*REALLY?* If that was him, then did we also see *Goldberry, the Daughter of the River?* Have to find out what people are saying because that guy didn't look grand enough to be a Blue Wizard. And notice, they only showed him from waist up. maybe his boots are a certain color? This does make me wonder, they're ripping through the timeline quite fast. What will we be seeing in S3-5?! How far ahead in the Appendices will we be going? Will we see the beginning of the 3rd age? This is what strikes me about this trailer: how much story is in it. Now I'm really asking questions. And I want to get back and see the journey of the rest of the Harfeet. I hope it isn't just the "wandering days" of proto-Frodo! I want to see in particular how the Harfeet go through future Rohan and pick up bits of proto -Rohirric in their language. I really hope they keep up with the "maps." Sorry i this reaction is all over the place, but if they really do have the whole story mapped out from beginning to end, all 5 seasons, then I wonder how and when (timeline-wise) they will wrap this up.
It’s definitely Tom, they released promotional images of him a couple months ago. Colors are a bit muted in this. But also, Ciran Hinds has been cast as another wizard. So we’re either getting blue wizards, or like some early forms of Gandalf and Saruman. Definitely hope it’s the former, but it will probably my be the latter
Nobody gets thst we see Sauron as he was but others see him as a diferent person, itshis mssk, magic. He will be shown in different 'masks' trough the show. Itsnot what we know, but what they cant see.
@@KritterXD Lol Kritter, one of the first things I noticed....an older woman's voice and *flowers in her "hair"* how lovely. I've always wanted to know more about the Entwives and how they were lost. And we need to see some Entings! My heart is melting.
8:09 this scene on the far right of the screen you see Gilgalad’s weapon. So I’m curious if we get him fighting or just arriving at the battlefield in eregion
I don't need Tom singing as that would probably become grating if he's there to dump lore on the stranger, but why is he so incredibly dour? I'm hoping these are just moments that he's like this and in the full season Tom will be more hakuna matata.
You loved it? Wow you are alone in there. How can you like this trash show? Wow Im genuinly amazed! I get some people devour any bad thing they throw at them if it looks flashy. Doesnt change the fact is bad, really bad.
@@Alejojojo6 No they are not alone, LOTR Franchise is big enough to survive and prosper without the super fans, you and the other haters simply don't get it.
@@Alejojojo6big Tolkien fan here and loved Seaaon 1...so yes, you CAN be fan of both the books and the shows as i'm able to differ them in my mind and to be entertained from a great show in Middle Earth
I think S1 started slow because they had to help us settle in to the time and characters. This season? I think we're starting off with a bang, right outta the gate!
