Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen this season. Like @bkstone staid, a lot of stuff has to happen before the becomes the Dark Lord we saw in LOTR.
Glad I found your channel! I'm sick and tired of people hating on RoP. I'm super excited for this season! Can't wait til you recap the season. ps: The scene with Galadriel, Elrond, etc. getting ready for fight, I'm pretty sure the man with shoulder length dark hair is Elros, Elrond's mortal brother.
Pro Tip: If the video about RoP has more than 30k views, it's probably a negative review. If it has only like, around 100 some odd views, it's probably talking about the show positively, or at least neutrally. Outrage clickbait garbage is favored by the algorithm. It's deeply unfortunate, and serves as a condemnation of society. Furthermore, Rings of Power has been excellent, let's go.
@@TheDistortedTheorists I'm serious lol, it genuinely is (to some degree) why. It is very difficult to coax the search engine into pulling me up a positive or neutral video on Rings of Power. You type in a search, and it's nothing but ads and outrage farming from the usual grifters, and the smaller grifters trying to ride their coattails to that outrage culture war money. Seriously, make a video discussing Rings of Power in a positive way, but make a clickbait thumbnail and title that implies a negative interpretation, maybe even go with the charade for the first minute or two of the video. I'm not a betting man, but i'm fairly certain you'll see an immediate spike in views. Not 100k mind you, but there will almost certainly be an increase. ... And then subsequently a bunch of strangers ranting about how much they hate the show in your comments, also mad at you for playing them like suckers. It may or may not be worth it, as those folks will (probably) quickly dissipate like flies unable to find food, but engagement is engagement, and can give your channel that small little oomf it needs. IDK, in the end, I wouldn't suggest it, but it's an interesting social experiment to consider.
@JKKoneofakind yea our whole slogan is "Keep It Reel" so we try not to create click bait for the sake of views If people stop by for our content, we want it to be a genuine viewing experience BUT, I get what your saying. Algorithms aren't kind sometimes to us honest folk hahaha
I am convinced that the stranger is Saruman. Mostly because he had to convince himself that he was good. Saruman was not evil at first, but he became corrupted..
Ok, please correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Saruman a Valar like Gandalf? Meaning he would have been for millennia beforehand, like the Grey? The theory is cool for sure, but wouldn’t that clash with the history of Middle-Earth? Please also note I’m still very junior to LotR lore haha
@@TheDistortedTheorists Yeah, There were five Valar who appeared in Middle Earth: Gandalf (Grey/White), Saruman (White/Many Colors), Radaghast (Brown), and the Two Blue Wizards.
@@TheDistortedTheorists yes, Gandalf and Saruman are Maiar. But it doesn’t clash with Middle-earth lore anymore than it would if it were Gandalf, like so many people seem to believe. Neither actually came to Middle-earth like the Stranger did.
@@FemaleVillageElder What? Tolkien never explained how Gandalf came to Middle Earth actually. He said that Gandalf came to Middle Earth somewhere in the Second Age so…
@@mariadoloresgasparino6085 I believe somewhere it says that he came by sea with Saruman, and, I think, Radaghast. Cirdan welcomed them, and at that time cirdan gave him his own ring. Saruman noted that and was jealous. There are so many versions of parts of the lore I’m not sure where it says that. But you can check that out.
Will we see Sauron in full armor by the end of this season?!
I lot has to happen. He's defeated and captured by the Numenoreans and taken to Numenor.
Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen this season. Like @bkstone staid, a lot of stuff has to happen before the becomes the Dark Lord we saw in LOTR.
Really excited 🤟
Lord Sauron returned 🔥
He has been among us the whole time!!
Glad you like this show! I'm loving it and cannot wait for this new season!
Thank you!! So glad to hear others enjoying it!!
Glad I found your channel!

See, I didn’t even know he had a mortal brother! I’m so behind on the lore!

So THATS why we only have 200 views? Hahahaha thanks for commenting and you're right, the show is dope!!
