I have a good feeling about this season. Give me all the angst

[fernandocolunga]

That’s sf cool I’m so easily impressed

[benihime99]

check out Wolfgang Stegemann work you will be pleased

[siaht]

Holy shit I combusted

That said and this is the first and last time I'll EVER say this about a Tolkien* character but I'll miss him as Halbrand aka he is way hotter as a human than as an elf. 😭

Tolkien-inspired character, I should say.

[theactualworst]

I still don’t know how I feel about him in that wig lol but I’m hype!!

[jojito]

He doesn't look bad but when I picture Annatar I imagine someone more like this:

[siaht]

If someone shows me Thranduil gifs when I'm on my deathbed I might just get cured. He was unreal. No other elf came close in the movie adaptations.

[jojito]

ikr? He was so perfect

[crazylike_afox]

Sauron was hotter when he was scruffier *

* Sentences 2001 me would be surprised by

[siaht]

LMAO MY COMMENT SAYING BASICALLY THE SAME THING up the page. It definitely says something about this Annatar situation.

[fernandocolunga]

Oh I loved Mawle as Adar this is such a shame

[jojito]

Same. Why didn't he come back?

[shadowfax]

I wondered this too! This article at least gives some answers to it: https://screenrant.com/rings-of-power-adar-recast-reason-joseph-mawle/ and he tweeted about his exit few years ago.

[stillglows]

iirc he said it was his duty as an actor to try new roles?? even though it seems like adar is going to have so much more to do this season?

[fernandocolunga]

Charlie seems so sweet and chill but I really feel like I’d enjoy this show more if I read the books😭😭bc I’m like ok what form was Sauron in before Halbrandt and then he’s Sauron again and then he’s this elf what’s he called Anatar? Like

[fauxkaren]

tbhhhhhhhhhhh 95% of this show is original material. it's set in a time period that has VERY little canon material.

[helyanwe89]

The didn't get the rights to adapt the book iirc, so a lot of the characters were invented for the show like the Harfoots.

almost all the information we have is in the appendices for the LOTR, and then maybe 40 pages in the silmarillion, called the akallabeth, and of the rings of power. you could check out the summaries of those sections on tolkiengateway: https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/The_Silmarillion... )
