Anyone notice that as Halbrand reveals himself to Galadriel as Sauron, that his thick northern accent becomes far more pronounced in a similar fashion to when Boromir allows himself to fall to the persuasion of Sauron and the Ring when he confronts Frodo. Interesting parallels!
Its too soon to see Gandalf…
@48:06, Halbrand's eyes transform to the shape of Sauron's One Eye..
Why couldn’t they just make shadow of war the series
Saruman was the 1st wizard to come over in canon. Saruman went to Rhun and came back.
Gandalf wasn't the 1st wizard to come over and Gandalf never went to Rhun in canon.
There are the Tolkien notes that suggest he had considered having the blue wizards come over 1st in the 2nd age and also the Blues went to Rhun.
Shame on you. Círdan is pronounced Kirdan.
ROFL easter eggs for fan fiction are meaningless
one of the best….
So idk if anything already pointed this out, but for the Gandalf reveal/confirmation: How Gandalf has Nori lead the way like he does for Fordo when they set off in Fellowship. Also! In RoP, Gandalf leads by following his nose like he does in Khazad-dûm in Fellowship.
I missed you Ryan 😭🤧
"Hey Galadriel, what's that on your finger?"
"Nenya"
"Nenya?"
"Nenya business"
The Stranger is a blue wizard…(lets see how this holds up over time )
Seriously? This show doesn't deserved to be dignified with a breakdown of anything but its overwhelming flaws.
a simple dislike will do, no need for an inflammatory comment.
I read the series years ago in high school, got a passing grade on my report and watched the series when it came out. But on my best day, even if I watched the movies and read the books simultaneously, could I discuss it to the depth and catch every nuance like you guys in this and other chats do. I applaud and pity us all.
I wish they didn’t make a song out of the One Ring poem. Cheese.
The Stranger is clearly Saruman, the first of the Wizards. Gandalf is the last one.
Why does this channel hate on this show with passive aggressive humor. Please just give us a unbiased breakdown
No more talking dog cracking jokes please.
Screencrush : 9/10 comments guessed who is Sauron
Proceeds to paste 3 comments, 2 being duplicates….
Love the Star Trek Enterprise theme song reference 🖖🖖🖖🤣
Of course the Apple is a reference to the Apple of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the whole episode is about our main characters learning about this within themselves and from that knowledge choosing which one to be. And Beards of Gandalf, the entire creation of the 3 Rings is made from this knowledge – i.e. Both Galadriel and Elrond know that it was Sauron's knowledge which even made it possible. This finale proved to me why this show is worth it, it's not the usual Western Judeo Christian influenced story of Good vs Evil – it's more gnostic in the sense of the knowledge being the only way to understand the nature of the dual universe and how to make choices withing it. The creators of this show have evolved the franchise to have a more relevant spiritual message for our time. Not unlike The Last Jedi, which did the same thing with The Force. Something is changing in modern mythology, it's a New Myth, and the creators know what they are doing with purpose and intentionality
So Sauron did see the light after Morgoths defeat? So why did he go down a dark path of ruling then? Did he just have a twisted way of "fixing" things?
Can't see what her problem was with him wanting to rule in order to ensure peace. The Elves have a ruler, so is she wanting to get rid of their King? presumably this is treason or going against an oath she would have made in order to be a commander in his military. This either makes her a hypocrite or an oath breaker; in which case she may as well carry on down that path and become a Queen.
