Rings of Power season 2 trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCwmXY_f-e0

inb4 i don't think there should be problem if we talk about the show in the forum just for a bit, it's same universe, its lord of the rings etc just like people talked about Fallout Show in Fallout 4 forum or Castlevania netflix series in Castlevania forums or Resident evil movies in re4, re5 steam forum etc

- Ok somehow Sauron is back and now the lord of gifts is an Elf, something that Annatar was able to do so i guess this is +1 for amazon.
- There's a scene where the bridge of kazhad dum seems to be destroyed or its a similar bridge, maybe the balrog has awoken and dwarfs tried to block the path.
- The 180° shot to show all the "fellowship" of brave warriors led by galadriel was cringe, kinda like some "avengers" thing an overused cinematic shot ive seen multiple times in action movies etc maybe even in fast and furious.

- there's some kind of siege in Numenor
- I think "Adar" is now played by a different actor and its no longer Joseph Mawle, you can cleary see some kind of evil elve leading orcs in the trailer but that's not Joseph (Adar)
- No hobbitses in the trailer i mean, harfoots

anyways looks interesting although trailer is being bombed, seems like people are not happy at all. The only reason why im going to watch it is cuz i enjoy LOTR, the rings of power season 1 was truly mediocre so i just watched that season once and no desire to watch it again, lets hope s2 is different and amazon learned something from its previous mistakes with season 1.

"Amazon has learned from any of their past mistakes", not sure why you think they would now.

Frankly if past posts about the show are an indicator, you're not going to find a lot of RoP fans here.

I see it as expensive fan fiction so I don't cry about it like so many others. It's an average to above average show in season 1, season 2 looks even more interesting. :)

The trailer barely shows anything worth to be excited for.
There is a siege of some random town, the party of Galadriel is maybe attacked but so far she had zero struggle so who cares, there is an elf who causes mayham- oh wait thats Sauron as by the trailer.
I guess there is trouble brewing in the dwarf hold with the king being in a cave in. And a random water monster. There's also a random cavalry charge at the day (the siege was at night so.. no relevance really.)
And thats about it.

That was maybe the most bland trailer I've ever seen, and I've seen mobile ads that had more of a hook than this trailer.

Like imagine if they showed Thaons doing the snap in Avengers Infinity War trailer. Thats the equivilant of revealing Sauron as the presence that is glowing and the random elf that was around for evil stuff for this.
What is even there to be excited about really?

And I watched the first trailer, and man that one is just way better than this trailer. I have a lot more questions (despite already knowing the answers) than for this piece of hot garbo of a trailer

If anything. Amazon learned nothing at best, and forgot even the littlest of good parts at worst
Because this trailer, was godawful at being a trailer

I would say it's "fan fiction" but that would imply that the show was put together by actual fans.

I'm looking forward to it. A lot of the people crying about the show never actually watched it and are just following the vocal minority online. Outside of the toxic children on the internet it was pretty well received.

Are you sure about that?

From the article: "turns out that a mere 37% of people who started the show actually ended up finishing it." Doesn't sound like it was well received after all.

Viggo Mortensen gets hit with an actual sword in the face during one fight scene, chips a tooth, and still keeps on filming. Sean Astin stepped on something during the lake scene, got his foot stitched after they were done filming. Probably more stuff we haven't even heard of.

I'll watch the first episode of season 2, then write an honest review, did the same with the first season, and that's all they're going to get from me.

Anyway, i also started watching Discovery of Witches, a bit slow, but overall a better show then RoP.
