The echoes of Sauron’s cruelty still loom large in TheRingsOfPower. Even the nomadic harfoots, led by Sadoc Burrows, recognize that something’s amiss.

begins, Gil-galad is a stoic and ageless leader, ruling over the golden elven realm of Lindon. Walker describes him as "ever vigilant in the preservation of peace," and he soon starts to sense that something may be amiss in Middle-earth.

"Everyone knows Gil-galad from that song that Sam sings, but there isn't a wealth of information about him in the text," Walker explains. "My favorite part is that he has this odd gift of foresight. He's prescient, and he's ahead of the curve. He can kind of feel the pulse of evil rising. He's attuned to the life force of Middle-earth, and he's chosen to stay.

Disa is married to Durin IV, and the two have a loving and playful relationship. She's also the first female dwarf in any screen adaptation of Tolkien's work, and Nomvete notes that yes, sheCharlie Vickers as Halbrand in 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' One of the series' more mysterious figures is the mortal castaway Halbrand, who soon crosses paths with Galadriel. He accompanies her as they travel from the Sundering Seas to the island of Númenor.

"There are a few things about Hal which are quite interesting, particularly his relationship with Galadriel," Vickers teases. "He's coming from this place in his past where he's trying to let go of his past and move on. But in meeting her, she starts to illuminate some things in his mind and things about his past and his destiny that he maybe hadn't considered. It makes him look at things in a different way.

About as cool as when Finn was revealed as a Storm Trooper!

People have made fun of this Young & the Restless marketing so much it’s sad.

Something is wrong? Most likely, Schwaub intervened in the matter.

This looks so horrible. I refuse to even watch this. Get Woke Go Broke

It just keeps getting worse and worse.

LOTRonPrime 👎👎

LOTRonPrime They were not nomadic. It's like that actress claiming all sorts of firsts when Tony Cox was in Willow like 2 years before she was born. How very Orwellian of you to just erase someone from history and spout nonsense to fit your narrative.... Nerdrotics called it months ago...

Where are the asians, Indians, south americans, indigenous community? Is this show that inclusive and racist?

LOTRonPrime I wanted so bad to like this, I was very excited when this series was announced in 2017 but this is garbage, from the casting to the wardrobe design, this 100% looks like something from TheCW

Is this a really expensive joke?

LOTRonPrime Tolkien and his world view are inherently conservative. Amazon will never be able to do Tolkien well because they refuse to promote this conservative world view, but you cannot remove it and still have the essence of Tolkien. His worldview and writing MUST go together.

😂😂😂😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

LOTRonPrime From ghosting Peter Jackson, to firing Tom Shippey, to insulting Tolkien for 'being out of date', Amazon and 'Rings of Power' can rightly fuck off. I hope this is the biggest flop in the history of cinema. I hope everyone involved never works in cinema again.

FellowshipFans embarrassing … mexican soap opera?

LOTRonPrime That’s the cheesiest looking show of the year….the casting director should be fired

Brilliant!! The world awaits 🙏

With a $billion budget, you would think that Amazon could provide the 'Hobbits' with some basic necessities.

LOTRonPrime Of all the modern fantasy works I never, ever thought would be thoroughly debased by corporate greed, crass sponsorship and advertising, reductive and counter-productive sociopolitical zealotry, and a group of people with no love or respect for the source material - it was LOTR.

what the hell is even this? Please just shut up and release trailer and not this nonsense

LOTRonPrime Why was BimboBezos too afraid to send the scripts to Peter Jackson? How bad is this going to be? Shame on you for ruining LOTR

Looks like a homeless hippie comuna 🤦‍♂️

I bet next season their will be Harfoots in Space. I am sure that is where Tolkien was heading.

We only need some more samurai, and inclusiveness is complete

This amazon Ultra Liberal woke agenda is going to be destroyed just like Sauron by Tolkien Fans

Rings of Power-The Zoolander edition. Good Lord

It looks so ugly

Woke and woke....

It's the show that the fans asked them not to make.

Koksalt_ goofy ahh hobbits

AranelParmadil Why has it got olives on its head?

LOTRonPrime Losing my religion REM

Shkies har streinge, oh shut the front door

We must expect changes to LOTR in Ring of Power Adaptions just as there were in previous LOTR movies Some Examples changes were: Removing The Battle of The Shire. The Absence of Glorifindel. The Eye of Sauron. Pitting Gandalf Against The Witch King…, etc etc.

LOTRonPrime Nice and Intelligent...

LOTRonPrime Not the same after they moved the show from New Zealand, plus they also removed Peter Jackson from it. More crap because of JeffBezos! BoycottAmazon

The echoes of Jeff Bezos’ cruelty still loom large in Amazon Warehouses.

LOTRonPrime Sir Lenny Henry, a true British legend of the last 5 decades ☺️ Looking forward to him finally getting to do a regional English accent that isn’t a Birmingham one ☺️

LOTRonPrime I can't wait even longer... God damn.

Harfoots? you mean Hobbits? Which is what they are.

This is so cringe. I don’t care if you’re a lefty or righty, progressive or traditional, religious or nor, Tolkien fan or not, so much of this show just looks like bad or average fan fiction, with some glimpses of good CGI here and there.

LOTRonPrime This Young & The Restless into is so unbelievably cringe. You should be ashamed of yourselves for destroying such an amazing property based on fine English literature.

Up yours E.W. for Shilling for this crap.😡👎

LOTRonPrime Cancel this shit. You’re doing lotr fans a huge disservice

I wonder if we'll see the origins of their legendary weed?

LOTRonPrime

Ew

I LOVE THEM

LOTRonPrime

TheRingsOfPower

Rings Of POO!

LOTRonPrime There’s something amiss alright. AmazonTrash

Is that some sort of disgusting woke lesbian clan?

I love reading all the negative commentary that follows every announcement, featurette, trailer & even animated GIFs. Amazon brought this on themselves, & it’s really fun to watch. Here’s the GIF that best represents RingsOfPower:

Nomadic? So, they're hunters then. Or livestock herders. Also, what Sauron's cruelty? Maybe Morgoth's, no?

Why did they have to turn the promos into some weird Cosmo photoshoot?

My god this is going to be shite.

Nope looks pants

Hobbits never played a fkin role in the 2nd age. Garbage fanfiction. They are p*ssing on Tolkien's legacy with this Telenovela looking trash.

Welcome harfoots, take us on the adventures of middle earth, so exciting

If nothing else these proto-hobbitses all look amazing!

This has nothing to do with Tolkien :)

😐

LOTRonPrime This will be an epic dumpster fire of a series since Dumb & Dumber deliberately chose to disrespect Tolkien’s lore TheRingsOfPower

LOTRonPrime So apparently Galadriel is sleeping with that drawf and neither of them kno they’re actually related. The only one who does know is the Blanche Deveraux looking elf and she’s coming to middle earth to divorce her husband but he gets killed by Samuel L Jackson in the white hair.

This is getting more and more cringe

LOTRonPrime Gupsy harfoots that Cant keep themself clean, who put leafs in your hair?

LOTRonPrime The echoes of Sauron’s cruelty still loom large in TheRingsOfPower.

LOTRonPrime 😍😍😍

LOTRonPrime harfoots 🔥😍😍😍

LOTRonPrime 'The echoes of Sauron’s cruelty still loom' WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TIMELINE?

They are soooo cute, love them
