The sack of Eregion will be wild, but I'm really looking forward to future seasons with the fall of Numenor, establishing Gondor, and the last alliance. Considering so much action that is coming between seasons 2-5 the set up season that season 1 was, despite the criticisms it received, was very necessary. The overarching concept of being guided by the light only after you touch the darkness will be powerful for Galadriel and the entire point of the series. I think if done right it will be beautiful and connect very well to Tolkien lore themes.
"To defeat an enemy, you must know them. Not simply their battle tactics, but their history, philosophy, art." - Grand Admiral Thrawn Sauron: Turns into an elf to dupe Celebrimbor 😭
He literally shows his godlike powers and walks out of the burning furnace, after rolling into town as Halbrand and Celebrimbor telling him to leave. We'll see what story he spins to explain his old human form.
You mean the bit where Galadriel took a volcano to the face, and rather than being burned to death she was "a bit ashy"? Which was the bit where it got good?
@@feals1859 definitely but it doesn’t get this much hate. I know people are comparing rop with the lotr movie but that’s not the point. Different time line, characters were younger and not as experienced as we know them to be. I think they are doing a great job and I hope it gets better.
To be honest, the first season was just good but it came off a bit weak (if you don't consider the books it was just average) but I hope the second season will be great. ❤❤❤
No it wasn't. Everything about was laughable and mockery to lord of the rings and it's fans. All it was about is woman good and strong and cant fail while men weak, stupid and pathetic. With tons of holes and literally nothing to do with Tolkien's work.
I read GoT from first printing, and they ruined it. I read Wheel of Time from first printing, and they ruined it. I haven't seen this yet, but if they ruined it, I'm done.
@@Al-Rudigor If the others upset you and you plan to watch this, I highly advise you stay away from tall edges, train tracks, and highways. Better yet just don't. This show was made to spit in the eye sockets of Tolkien fans.
I tuned out after ep. 4 or 5 as it was complete boredom and disrespect to Tolkien's legacy. When even mainstream outlets are saying season 2 is bad. Just follow in the footsteps of Disney with the Acolyte, and we'll pretend this show never existed.
Season 1 was good, there's no set lore story that works in one timeline so they had to make changes, some good some bad. Music and visuals are flawless and this was a great setup season for the real stuff in s2 onwards.
I’m watching this show with my dad and I remember all of S1 but he doesn’t so I have to watch it with him but S2 is coming out tomorrow and WE ONLY WATCHED 6 EPISODES!
the amount of money they spent on the marketing is insane! i wish they spent that much on My Lady Jane and other series which were not wrthy or being cancelled
This show has strayed pretty far from canon (the elves making their 3 rings with Sauron before the 7 dwarf and 9 rings of power were made for men, the stranger/ possibly Gandalf appearing in the 2nd age, the whole Adar plot, etc...) I'm really hoping they rein some of that in this season or at the very least come up with a creative storyline that makes all these new additions to the canon make more sense. What I'm hoping for is that maybe we'll see some of kings who go on to become Nazgul (like the Witch King or Khamul the Easterling). Lots of potential that quite frankly season 1 failed to live up to imo but hopefully season 2 starts to get the ball rolling.
Started watching Ep. 4... Let me guess... with Elrond (at the broken bridge) being male-ego stubborn, you're setting Galadriel up for her to be the hero later, because Elrond will be wrong, humiliated, and Galadriel saves the day. If you have to lower a man... you're not lifting up women; you're just being insulting to both. You're NOT using the Joseph Campbell "Heroes Journey" ideas for Galadriel... you're insulting that as well.
Left or right is the question but the goodness a mankind will always shine through the evil that surrounds us tries to dominate and control Mankind will always break free and run wild and cause their own destruction without evil's help
1) You must have made Season 2 this dark in lighting to try and hide you spent less money. 2) This (RoP) should NOT be a soap opera... it should be a story telling. 3) We waited 2 years for this?! Nothing really happens in the first 3 episodes. 80%+ is your established prequel. 4) You're wasting the talents of the actors on writers, who can't write. You have no story. 5) If they can write, then let them do so! 6) The 1 thing you got right was Galadriel finally showing some vulnerability and some humility. 7) Say what you will about Jackson's LoTR, but at least that Galadriel commanded respect she earned and deserved. 8) This is so disappointing. Everyone is watching it because we're actually routing for you... please STOP letting us down!
Well the first season of Stranger Things had a completion rate of somewhere around 38%, so that should tell you something. And the source about RoP completion rate is unnamed and never mentions any time frame for the survey, and it's very likely that more people have watched it later on. It's just mentioned once very briefly in The Hollywood Reporter, without much context. So I wouldn't think too much of it honestly. What we do know from Nielsen is that the show had a total of 9,4 billion minutes watched at the time of the finale, and that the first week saw 1.2 billion minutes watched and the week of the finale saw 1.1 billion, which tells you that the show had almost the same amount of watch time for the finale as for the premiere.
@@himmelektronikAny of that you have written does not change the fact that it is an abhorrent, fan-fiction like adaption of Tolkeins’ marvellous stories. It is a disgrace that this show has been green-lighted for a second season. An absolute mockery of what Tolkien created.
This felt more like a trailer and not a recap
they shown what was really important in the show even they know first season was not good
i confirm. came for a recap. left with no spoilers.
I hope we get the Dwarves marching to Elronds aid. I always felt it was the reason he was more friendly with them in later years than other Elves.
The sack of Eregion will be wild, but I'm really looking forward to future seasons with the fall of Numenor, establishing Gondor, and the last alliance. Considering so much action that is coming between seasons 2-5 the set up season that season 1 was, despite the criticisms it received, was very necessary.

I think if done right it will be beautiful and connect very well to Tolkien lore themes.
I wonder if the series will do the Celebrimbor-banner. It's probably one of the most brutal passages of the books
Very well said friend
Spot on gosh darn .
I fail to see any overarching concept in season 1. How does any part of it connect to Tolkien lore?
Are you high?. Season 1 was an abomination
Sauron - make a show about me and make me look like a good guy so people follow me.
Jeff Bezos - Yes my master.
"To defeat an enemy, you must know them. Not simply their battle tactics, but their history, philosophy, art." - Grand Admiral Thrawn
Sauron: Turns into an elf to dupe Celebrimbor 😭
? its in lore. btw sauron will do very bad things to celembrimbor(in the books sauron....i dont wanna give spoilers)
He literally shows his godlike powers and walks out of the burning furnace, after rolling into town as Halbrand and Celebrimbor telling him to leave. We'll see what story he spins to explain his old human form.
8.8m views but not even 300 comments? 😅
I wonder why 🤔🧐
Who else is rooting for Sauron?
Many people I presume. Having your audience sympathize with the villain is a sign of competent writing.
The billion other people who've used that joke
I vote for winners. My boy Sauron will keep being a winner at least until his finger gets cut Yakuza style. Spoiler alert :)
This is a surprise! I’m not rooting for him. But I hope that he plays very well. Still, I want good to win!
I don't know why people don't like it but for me i really enjoyed it 😊
Only 3 days to go... 🤩❤️🔥
😂😂😂 sarcasm at its finest
Amazon can’t even be bothered pushing this 😂
Very telling that the last scene was Galadriel and Sauron
Rewatching 1 season right now. To be prepared for the 2-nd one 💪
good decision
Morfydd Clark ❤
She’s beautiful. She looks like Cate Blanchett
Love her, beautiful woman.
I am smitten with her
The season one had its ups and downs early on but by the time ep. 5 came, the show was hittin. Looking forward to the new season this week!
You mean the bit where Galadriel took a volcano to the face, and rather than being burned to death she was "a bit ashy"?
Which was the bit where it got good?
This Series has the potential to go past so many big Franchise
@@sw6088 it actually does.
@@sw6088it’s really good tho
@sw6088 It's Tolkien source material- It will always have potential man. Whether they execute on that or not is a different thing...
Not so. Disney may have urinated on Star Wars and left it crying in an alley way, but this is more like: what Pol Pot did for agriculture.
😂😂😂 this should of been canceled. It's looking them money and it has nothing ti do with Tolkien's work.
Rdy to rock, let’s gooooo. Seeing it Wednesday at the premiere
Tolkien is rolling in his grave.
After watching season 1 so many times I'm not sure I need a recap, but it doesn't hurt 💍💍💍
lord, they made another. What's next is Velma going to show up in the show and take on the villain.
This season will be the one because of him...God three days is too much 😢😢
I e never waited for anything more in my entire life. Feels like I’m counting the minutes.
@@tonymuller01789really? did you like the first season?
@@eminemman4141 it’s not as terrible as you want to believe it is. The season 1 was better that the whole house of dragons and that’s for sure.

5 seasons, guys!!
They are making 5 seasons, atleast right now.
@@DarkLordSauronrocks that made my day! Ty
its planned for 5 seasons
5 seasons that no one will watch😂

Request granted
Season 1 was great already
@@matheusfernandes2102your high…
@@matheusfernandes2102 Absolutely not. Made the Hobbit look like a masterpiece

i love this show so much

They're using video embedding. Basically viewbotting that doesn't go against youtubes terms of service
Random film talks is going to have a seizure watching this
In building of one of the greatest shows of all time ❤
Watching series one to get started for this. Nobody call my phone. I won’t answer. 😊
I needed this because IT'S BEEN TOO LONG!
Man that was fire, not gonna lie!
I hope we see him in full armour
SO SO EXCITEDD
Lest go Sauron 😭
It's not bad if you don't send out this kind of trailer, but once it's sent out, the whole thing will be cold.
We just hyped about the ENT WIVES!
I'm pleased knowing that people are loving the show....
Thank you guys.

Yet no one watches it.
@@Al-Rudigor If you still haven't seen it, let me give you a prediction: they will indeed ruin it.
@@Al-Rudigor It is already ruined from S1E1
I am so excited for S02

Ufff waiting for S2❤️💥
Season 1 was good, there's no set lore story that works in one timeline so they had to make changes, some good some bad. Music and visuals are flawless and this was a great setup season for the real stuff in s2 onwards.
Would like to see Sauron’s anatarr form in action.
Im so excited 🎉
The last seconds with the choir dominating the score is so epic! This brings back the awe one gets when watching a Lord of The Rings movie
It's amazing to see halbrand transform into anatar aka sauron he looks different actor amazing
Ha mejorado demasiado,no es perfecta pero digerible. Con esa mejoría, funciona como un elseworld, historia independiente y basada en el mundo de LOTR
I didn't know i can say it but - GIVE ME MORE after 1-3 episodes!
The Ring of power is amazing … I enjoyed the first season but the second season looks phenomenal….💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
YES PLEASE!!! this has been long overdue.
LoL.
I wouldn't spend time reminding people of season one.
This made series one look like the best thing since sliced bread
I have forgotten everything and no more Interest to watch it
cant wait baby..... cant wait......
அருமை Awesome fantastic super excellent
Can't wait!
I’m watching this show with my dad and I remember all of S1 but he doesn’t so I have to watch it with him but S2 is coming out tomorrow and WE ONLY WATCHED 6 EPISODES!
Can't w8 for watching sauron mystery ❤😊
Exactly
the amount of money they spent on the marketing is insane! i wish they spent that much on My Lady Jane and other series which were not wrthy or being cancelled
I love this show idc what the haters say
Incredible and imotional
I think amazon forgot this was a recap video and not a trailer spoiling every spec of the season. XD
A recap video is supposed to spoil everything about the season.
Should I watch it before the movies?
This show has strayed pretty far from canon (the elves making their 3 rings with Sauron before the 7 dwarf and 9 rings of power were made for men, the stranger/ possibly Gandalf appearing in the 2nd age, the whole Adar plot, etc...) I'm really hoping they rein some of that in this season or at the very least come up with a creative storyline that makes all these new additions to the canon make more sense.

Lots of potential that quite frankly season 1 failed to live up to imo but hopefully season 2 starts to get the ball rolling.
Nah, literally no hope from my end. They are digging themselves a hole I don't think they can crawl out of at this point.
🔥🔥🔥
I've seen the new three chapters and honestly I really do prefer the old actor for Adar
S1 ending was freaking awesome. I hope there'll be greater action in S2
Those guys wait for sauron reign 🗿😈

why is so many people rooting for Sauron?
That's one of the main reasons Sauron gained so much power. He's a cute deceiver when needed.
because he is a deceiver
@@merlynfereira9631 so? I don't see why we should root for a deceiver. Isn't that an evil trait? xD
@@Joaozinho11 because being evil is seen as 'sexy' like those dark romance tiktok edits
Because he was the only good thing in season 1
The first season was absolutely terrible, 3 out of 10, but the second season is much better. I hope it continues to improve.
I just hope Galadriel is more likeable in season 2. I really did not like her in season 1.
Recap goes hardddd 🔥🔥🔥🔥
2 days ago there was above 100k dislikes on that video. Now there is only 9k.
They are erasing the comments again...that whole production sucks.
I remember falling asleep while watching this series. Never a good sign!

Ahhhh!!!!
Dont erasing the comments!
This show is a desecration of the Professor’s work.
When is 2 coming out
If you thought seaon 1 was bad, wait till you see 2.
