Am I the only one who noticed a possible plot inconsistency in Season 3, Episode 4 of The Rings of Power?
There’s a scene that left me wondering.
Sauron gives a clear order: Galadriel and Marnûkh must be captured alive, while everyone else is to be killed.
However, Marnûkh is killed by Theo despite Sauron’s explicit instructions.
This raises a question: if Sauron specifically wanted Marnûkh alive, why wasn’t his order followed?
What’s even more interesting is that Theo later obeys Sauron’s command to kill Arondir.
So why does Theo follow one order but disregard another?
Is this intentional, showing that Theo still retains some free will, or is it simply a writing inconsistency?
I’d be interested to hear how others interpret this scene. Am I missing something?
