So I know this may have been repeated a few times as of recently, but what do those of you who have watched it actually think about season 2? I'm asking only because I haven't had the chance to watch it myself yet. Is it good? bad? better or worse that the last?
What do you all think about the Armour concepts revealed in the Season 2 RoP trailer? I think the Noldor/Lindon Armour that Elrond and his host can be seen wearing is so good that it is almost level with the Peter Jackson design by weta workshop.
The orc and Eregion Armours are alright but for me are quite boring and should get more effort put into them.
My least favorite of all is definitely the Númanorian Armour design, the white scales and pony Tale helmets make the greatest kingdom of men in middle earth look like absolute fools! I much prefer the Weta workshop Gondorian and Arnorian Armour designs.
I'm torn between considering him as a Blue Wizard or thinking he's Gandalf. It would make sense if he were a Blue Wizard because they were sent to Rhûn, but a part of me wishes it's Gandalf. If it were Gandalf, it would explain his love for the hobbits. However, the show is set in the Second Age, not the Third, so Gandalf isn't there yet. I don't know; I wanted to hear your opinions.
I'm very excited for Lord of the Rings The Rings of Power Season 2 ❤️❤️❤️
Fëanor is usually considered a villain. Most people see him as a fiend who slaughtered hundreds of innocent Elves, left his half-brother and allies stranded defenseless. But I see him as an Elf who lost everything, and went crazy as a result of that. An innocent victim of mind control, who made the choices that he made through the result of clever and malicious influence. My job today is to get you to see him the way that I do.

Fëanor was born to Finwë, who was King of the Noldor Elves, and Míriel. But giving birth to Fëanor took so much energy from Míriel that she died. So as soon as Fëanor was born, he lost his mother. Finwë married again, and married Indis, who Fëanor disliked. But Fëanor was a skillful artisan, and in fact was the most skillful ever. And so through years of hard work and extreme effort, with all of his skill and expertise, made a Silmaril, which captured the light of the Trees of Valinor. Morgoth, who was then called Melkor, saw the Silmarils, and coveted them. And so Melkor went to Finwë's house, killed him, and took the Silmarils. Fëanor loved both dearly and extremely. So let's count, shall we? His mother died before he met her, he lived as a child with a stepmother and half-brother who he disliked, his father was killed, and the Silmarils (which had an effect on the mind much like the Rings of Power) were taken away. He had lost everything dear to him.

He then gathered all of the Noldor, claimed their Kingship, and he and his sons swore an oath to always chase after the Silmarils, even if Eru Illuvatar were to stand in the way. And so they sailed to Middle-Earth, and assaulted Morgoth. But Morgoth sent out Balrogs against Fëanor and the Elves, and so they fought. And Fëanor was killed by the Lord of Balrogs, Gothmog. Let's look. He, in his grief and wrath swore an irreversible oath that directly affected one's thoughts to make it impossible to go against the oath, even if one desired not to.

Sure, he slaughtered the Teleri, and left most of the Noldor stranded, he was not thinking clearly, and was probably driven mad by the grief and anger of everything he had taken away. Just remember the rash things you do when consumed by the fire of anger.
If all Seven Dwarven Rings of Power was found and not destroyed during the The War of the Ring and was going to be sold, how much possible currency can you get from selling it, is it that worthy to give it away to someone?
So ROP did make apparent shifts over Ar Pharazon's image, but still he remains ambitious and hateful towards the elves and the Valar. Do you think his appearance is going to serve as a foreshadowing over his expanded ambitions in season 2? In here, he desires to subject the elves under the power of Numenor, and keep on expanding its might to Middle Earth. He even mentiond about giving them "a king would be forever not dead" - exactly what he and the King's men crave for the most and the closest description of his original nature. So I wonder will his personality get closer to the lore in the next season. I wish to see how will the show portray the wickedness he will set upon the kingdom, on Tar-Miriel and how they will describe his interaction with Sauron.
Ar Pharazon is an important character in the second age, but doesn't seem to be reviewed much in ROP, so I hope to listen your views.
Hello Everyone! Without giving my opinion to any site, I'd like to express my opinion:I think it's irrelevant who is right (whether copyright happened or not), but there is a bigger downside to this in my opinion: I find that among both LOTR and Star Wars fans, there is some level of disdain for fan-fiction.I don't know the reason for this, I can only guess. However, I have the feeling that this case here will only deepen the trenches and bring bad luck to those enthusiastic amateur writers again, whatever the outcome of the agreement... What do you think about the situation?

In the Lord of the Rings, the Valar are set up to be the gods of Middle-Earth, with Tolkien himself admitting that, despite his best attempts to conform to Catholic theology, the Valar are strongly based off of pagan gods and attributes. In addition, the Rings of Power series establishes them as gods instead of angels. But this raises questions about the Maiar.
While the Valar are established to be Middle-Earth’s pantheon of gods, what exactly does that make the likes of the Maiar. Are they gods as well? Lessor gods that serve their greater kind? Or are they instead some form of divine spirits? Are they simply divine entities that merely serve the gods, much like the Valkyries of Norse mythology and the Ganas of Hinduism?
Are Gandalf, Saruman, and Sauron gods in human and physical form?

This is probably a hard question due to the quality of that series...
