The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power – Teaser Trailer

[Erestor Arcamen]

 

[MrDanZa]

Left a lot to be desired but it definitely didn't look bad

 

[CirdanLinweilin]

I mean, it looks pretty.....

[Halasían]

Looked pretty good. I was 'whelmed' ... not over, not under.
A LOT of ignorance being displayed over on the IMDB fecebook page. 🤣

 

[CirdanLinweilin]

I was 'whelmed

*DC References Intensify*

XD XD

[Starbrow]

I like the visuals. We'll have to see about the stories.

 

[Halasían]

I had to crack up at this video. I'm assuming, but am not sure, that the one behind the twitter account is the guy who runs The One Ring.com Forum (of which I achieved a 'lifetime ban' from in 2003). The hatred runs deep in this 'Bounding into Comics' youtube guy. 🤣

 

[Aldarion]

One minute trailer, and it is more than clear that the entire series will be one very deliberate dump on Tolkien's work and legacy.

Is there still anyone on this forum who thinks a First Age adaptation would be a good thing?

If entirely done by me (with Amazonian money). . . then yes, I think so

I'd do the tale of Túrin.

I'd watch that 😍

Agreed.

But it doesn't look like any Tolkien I've ever read

 

[Ealdwyn]

Check out the comments on this. Every single individual replies with Tolkien's own quote:
“Evil is not able to create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what has been invented or made by the forces of good”

Never has that been more appropriate than when it applies to Amazon

Well I really meant the whole thing as "binge meat", but I would agree that is one story that is probably the appropriate length for a film . . . !!!

And good luck pitching incest to Amazon

 

[Ealdwyn]

And good luck pitching incest to Amazon

After Game of Thrones, I don't think that would be a sticking point

 

[m4r35n357]

Shows how much I know then

 

[Elthir]

Oh. By the way I didn't mean Amazon's money . . . rather "Amazonian" money as in "a lot" (of money).

Anyway, my cinematic version of Túrin's tale would only incorporate one slight change!

spoiler alert

Galadriel kills Glaurung

Galadriel kills Glaurung

WHAT?????

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Darn -- I gave in again! 😅

WHAT?????

Well, considering how she dealt with Sauron in PJ's "The Hobbit", Glaurung should be a piece of cake.
I mean, Glaurung causes most of his mischief through hypnosis.
Now with Galadriel, he bites of much more than he can chew - she hypnotizes him!
Has him run up to the edge of some 1,000-foot cliff (I'm sure there were some in or around Beleriand), jumps off flapping his front legs yelling "I can fly!"

SPLAT!

And there's a nice tie-in: when Morgoth gets the news, he mutters "I knew that design had a weakness." It gives him the idea for Ancalagon & Co.!
Nice ironic twist to that, don't you think?

 

[Elthir]

. . . Glaurung should be a piece of cake.

Mmmm. Cake.
