The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series, shot for Amazon Prime Video, has long created mixed feelings among viewers, especially Tolkien fans. When we started from the success of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the announcement of the series created great excitement.
Afterwards, there were many discussions centered on the black dwarf woman in the first images. The newly released trailer seems to leave these discussions behind. Because if you are a Tolkien fan, you have captured many exciting details. Here we have compiled these details.
WARNING: DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE SERIES, IF YOU WANT EVERYTHING TO BE A SURPRISE! It can be a surprise, a statement or a prediction we make can upset you all while watching the series.
Let’s put the trailer here:
Valinor trees
These two trees, which have an important place in the Lord of the Rings universe, appeared in the trailer with their shining leaves. These trees, Telperion and Laurelin, are two trees of great importance to the world of Tolkien. The Sun was formed from the last leaf of one of these two trees in the Immortal Lands, and the Moon was formed from the last leaf of the other. In addition, Feanor, who is closest to being the main character of The Silmarillon, took the light of these trees to make the stones called Silmaril.
The good days of Khazad-dûm
Remember that in The Lord of the Rings, the Mines of Moria were the home of goblins and Balrogs. Gimli, on the other hand, said that he was expecting a festival while taking the team to Moria. The Lord of the Rings: Khazad-dûm appears before us in all its glory, as The Rings of Power takes place thousands of years before that event.
The dwarves’ greed begins
In the trailer, we see a stone in the hand of the dwarf king named Durin, and Durin says this stone is the beginning of a new age. Originally a necessary material for the forging of the Rings of Power, this stone may also be the starting point of the greed of the dwarves, “who greedily dug up the Balrog”. There’s also the possibility that the substance in Durin’s hand was mithril.
Galadriel’s prediction
Another thing we saw in the movies was Galadriel’s ability to see the future. Although the future elf queen and seer is still young in this movie, we see that her talents are starting to emerge. Because he is trying to warn against anyone who believes that evil has been completely destroyed. The fact that no one listens to Galadriel paves the way for the sadder and wiser Galadriel in the Lord of the Rings movies.
Is that Sauron?
In the trailer, a mysterious character who fell to the world with a meteor and played by Daniel Weyman appears. The crater left behind when the character falls is very similar to the Eye of Sauron. Could this character be Sauron? For Sauron too, after Morgoth’s defeat, mingled with the elves as Annatar, handsome, called the Lord of Gifts. Of course, the truth may be different, even Gandalf.
Meet Halbrand
Halbrand is also a new character not created by Tolkien. Could he be secretly Sauron himself? Or will he be the Aragorn of the series? For the first time, we saw the character that we know escaped from his past and washed up on the shores after a shipwreck with Galadriel.
welcome harfoots
Do you think you’ve seen hobbits from The Lord of the Rings movies in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power trailer? They are not hobbits, they are harfoots, an ancestor of hobbits. They are much more adventurous and travellers, unlike the hobbits, who are less willing to venture out of the Shire. In this sense, they have a character closer to the kenders we are familiar with from fantasy universes.
Numenor
According to estimates, the city that appears at the beginning of the trailer is the place where the people of Numenor live, which we can call the Atlantis of the Lord of the Rings world. A statue resembling the statues in the Argonath Gates, which is the entrance to Gondor in the Lord of the Rings movies, stands out.
Could it be Elendil and the Faithful?
Although Elendil and Loyals look like Ersen and Dadaşlar, they are actually the name of the unit that left Numenor under the command of Elendil. So where do their roads take them? The answer is in the next topic…
Hello Gil-galad
Yes, Elendil and his troop encounter Gil-Galad. Gil-galad is a powerful elven king. The “last alliance of humans and elves”, which we hear in the Lord of the Rings movies, is also realized between these two.
Here are the highlights of the trailer. We also see an eagle and Ents in brief moments. In addition, the music is inspired by the music in the movies, and even one of those music is a direct arrangement of someone again.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on September 2, 2022. The first season will consist of 8 episodes.
