16:40 it's probably a vial of sauron's blood (we see him cut his hand a moment before) but since we are in that "dream" sequence celebrimbor thinks it's mithril. That also could explain why the 9 were so powerful on the minds of their wearers if sauron's own blood was in them
One thing which I love is the more Durin becomes obsessed with greed, the better, and happier he looks. It's a stark contrast with how little he was smiling the first season.
little correction here: "the gift of the valar" is actually death for the race of men. no one really knows what happens to the soul of men after death but it's implied by those who believe to be a heavenly place. the elves are quiet about it but are sometimes jealous of it. it's a really interesting idea from Tolkien reflecting his Catholic beliefs in a way.
@@Tangerator Also, the Balrogs are Maiar, as is Sauron. They take different forms. There's also a few other miscellaneous Maiar from the Legendarium who appeared at various times throughout history. The good ones generally take a physical form resembling Elves, which Sauron does here to enhance his deception.
The fact they shot the Great Deceiver scene with the illusion over Celebrimbor IN CAMERA is insane. Some may not like the writing or plot but it cannot be argued that this show is a technical triumph, and a visual masterpiece
ehhhhh sorta. the reality is the only scenes worth watching our the sauron scenes. that in and of itself makes the entire show a failure from start to finish. it's a flex, but not the flex i think you're trying to illustrate. the show ultimately will be considered a debacle and an insult to the original works. decent sauron scenes tho.
fun fact: the change from day to night at 17:02 was practical, not cgi, the video from the bts is really awesome. This show's production value is insane!
Also Arondir caught Orcs doing something specific. Thats what the map was for, youll see in the coming episodes. Lets just say they have a task meant to help the siege.
Not gonna lie, whenever I saw Sauron this episode I was screaming "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!"- what he's doing to Celebrimbor (and how he's playing Mirdania) is just too much to handle. Also, did you notice how, when Adar brings out Morgoth´s crown, how Galadriel tries to move as much as possible away from it? I thought that was a nice detail. The conflict of Durin seeing his father so dependent on the ring reminds of family members watching a love one succumb to addition. Not sure how we´ll all go through the devastating drama of the last two episodes....
@SilvershotStudios that's good bro. It's wild out here in the reaction world. Everyone just seems to follow Critical Drinker opinion and not think Critical themselves. I think it's impressive to have that much influence but it's sad so many people blindly follow another human that's no different from them.
Given Tom's 2 lines to the Stranger in this episode I am disappointed in being almost 100% sure that he's Gandalf. I could have written off some of the other stuff that happened as being coincidence but telling him he needs to be a "Servant of the Secret Fire" and the line about choosing who gets to live and die cements that he will become Gandalf.
7:18 . The line Tom said to strange: " Many that die deserve life, some that live- deserve death" . That's the line Gandalf said to Frodo in first movie where they were talking of Bilbo sparing Gollum.
They actually did catch it 😄 Eric makes a face of recognition and looks down the table at the others before taking down a note. They then bring it up in the discussion where they directly mention it (and how Tom is training Gandalf) and Calvin quotes it ^^
I'm legit confused on all this hate, like are we watching the same show. I'm convinced they just following others sheepishly not forming their own opinions. I've seen alot of bad shows especially recently, this aint one of them.
@@daurydavis3983it's not that tho. If you going to make diverse show, then make it make sense like certain ethicinities from certain places because that is what happens but golabalsiation existed. The dwarves should be very pale. Rhun should be Arabian or whatever ethnicity. Elves are the same race. And galderiel is just such a one dimensional character that's so dumb but definitely entertaining. If you can't see how dumb so many decisions are then Idk. How an earth did elves not manage to see an army of orcs coming...
@@Alfie-ps6ll Seems to me that you enjoy your lore in a segregated world perhaps that's how you feel inside. I feel bad for you if skin complexion triggers you and ruins your experience enjoying content.
Interesting -- I wonder if your off-hand comment about Miriel's blindness being the reason she would survive the sea snake is actually true. Seeing the creature's eye close up, it may have realized that she could not see it herself. A bit like the Greek myth of Medusa, gazing upon the snakes spells your doom, but if you are unable to gaze upon them, your life will be spared. A fascinating theory to consider.
but then it suggests that she was spared just for being blind, not because she is worthy of the position or something that actually confirms she should be it.
I keep having to remind myself that THIS Celebrimbor isn't a bloodthirsty wraith who went through Hell. It is nice however to not have this Celebrimbor shouting every 5 mins about the Palantir lmfao
The quote that Tom gave the stranger is the same quote that Gandalf told to Frodo in LoTR. We all assumed who the stranger was but now its pretty much confirmed its Gandalf.
I still hold out hope that it isn’t. This quote doesn’t do anymore than “Always follow your nose.” In season 1 did. That basically confirmed it was Gandalf, yet I still hope. 😂
The only thing with orcs attacking Eregion is that there's no one really there which we care about other than Celebrimbor. At least till Elrond gets there. With these orcs attacking The Southlands led by Adar, I was afraid for it's people. Here I can't quite say I'm invested.
I am honestly not sure how much the source material will matter for this story. The show is based on the LOTR lore, yes but they’ve made a lot of changes that I actually can’t say for sure if Durin the younger will wear a ring lol. Changes to the orcs and elves lore throwing me for a huge loop lol I mean we all watched The Hobbit… we know how it ends so I guess Durin the younger does something wrong.
I assumed the sea monster was the same one since they were nearish Numenor when they were found by them in s1 right? Also for Aaron, I believe it’s more a case of the Valar being a more Elven thing but the “faithful” people of Numenor have Elvish ties (such is their divide with the new king currently who is more against it, they cast out the faithful king in s1 and “elven stone” was the issue in ousting Miriel) that’s why his dude was like…well if Elendil is a faithful then we could use the valar ways to see if he should die or not. I hope I’ve understood that correctly!
When you said that the eagle picked him no the eagle wasn't it was that the people inside were rooting for him when they thought the eagle picked him but the eagle was looking at her. Also you guys are still wrong he isn't gandalf the two wizards to only go in into Rhun in the second age were the two wizards
I wonder why u dont even get 50k views+ on a video anymore..... maybe stop praising every bad show. Morgoths Crown is btw. 20feet tall. but what do i expect from people who wear rainbow badges on their hat lmao
I hope this show not cancel after this season as the Trump supporters are complaining about it because of wokeness and that the chars are not all white.
the way you guys cut the video like that, i don't like it. please, don't cut the video like that! i can't see the parts i want to see. about how you guys react. for example, when adar blows the trumpet in front of the orc army. and, there are still some more. I don't enjoy it.
The reaction has to be edited. They have to follow the '10 minute fair use' rule that RU-vid has. If the guys showed everything then the video would get taken down .
Sad to see how much support this show is getting from Blind Wave, A show that has horrible writing, pathetically boring and incompetent characters, a lack of worldbuilding that makes any sense, a bastardization of everything Tolkien stood for and wrote about. Thank god the ratings for the show are down and hopefully it gets cancelled after season 2 or 3.
Sad to see folks have a different opinion to you? You don't like it and that's fine but to find folks who do enjoy it and shit on their opinions and enjoyments? Just sad my friend...
@@mupsoftarenand Sauron has never manipulated metal before... forging is something he has no knowledge of. . . like at all. He should learn that. Could be helpful. oh well.
