The Rings of Power
It's coming! Not the most revealing trailer, but its exciting! I'm just hoping they don't mess this up.

7 OdpowiedziI would say I’m excited, but I’m assuming that “Prime video” bit means it’ll be exclusive to some streaming service, and I’m still stubbornly refusing to move on to this new digital age. So unless it comes to DVD, I won’t get to see it.

Eh. I have a prime subscription so ill watch an episode or two to see how it is. I’m a fan of LOTR but I’m not a geek for it, so while it’ll probably satiate my occasional lust for sword-y magic-y fantasy I’d rather just watch the films again.

5 OdpowiedziI'm still very worried. I think it was said before that they would do stuff from the second age, so the title does not surprise me. I just hope that amazon sees this as art to be appreciated and cared for, rather than a cash cow. But I think we all know how amazon sees this.

2 OdpowiedziEdytowany przez użytkownika TheArtist: 1/21/2022 2:51:26 AMIt’s actually very revealing to this Tolkien Geek…and very reassuring. The Rings of Power were created by the Elven-smith. [i]Gwaith-e--blam!-[/i] Celebrimbor. The magical door into Moria that glowed in the moonlight and only opened when you spoke the word “friend” in Elvish (Sindarin) seen in [i]Fellowship[/i] ? We’re created by his people. So it’s telling us that the story will function as a prequel to the Lord of The Rings/Hobbit movies, and focus on the story of the creation of the Rings of Power, the rise of Sauron as Dark Lord and successor to Morgoth, and the wars of the Second Age. (The Battle of Dagorlad where the One Ring was cut from Sauron’s hand by Isildur was the culmination of the Second Age. Three millenia before the events of LOTRs). This is reassuring because this is from The Silmarillion, but it is a [i]mangeable[/i] and [i]digestible [/i] story that will make sense and be accessible to non-Tolkien geeks. When this project was first announced and rumors were swirling that it would take on The Silmarillion I was really worried. The Silmarillion isn’t a novel but more a compendium of ALL the lore of Middle-Earth. It’s like saying you’re going to take on all of Greek mythology. Well today we found out that it’s more like The Life of Hercules instead of all Greek mythology. Good news. Great. Now Bungie is censoring Elvish. 🙄
