Bride of Sauron ke?
Galadriel is pure good. They are following the books are they not?
From what I've seen so far... She's good Yes but her overzealousness is drifting her into evil.

I understand but any series can become a cult classic on its own separate from the original and it doesn't matter if fallout or reacher gets more views than it.
There are those that haven't seen lords of the rings or read the book but and this rings of power can become cult classic to them.
Some series and movies got big views but are not cult classics.
Cult classics means the series/movie becomes a culture amongst people, it doesn't have to be billions of people as you are saying it.

Let me give you an example, Spanish series like visaAvis don't have record breaking world views but it's a cult classic amongs the people that saw it.
Till today, we still remember the Spanish series and some of the Spanish actresses today especially the onces in money heist, were first known and recognize in visavia and Infact part of the major reasons why first season of money heist was successful was because of the fans of visAvis who loved Nairobi.
And when the female detective came on board, the series picked up again because of the fans of VisaAvis who loved her from visaAvis.

Another example till today i still have the original theme songs of VisAvis in my phone and i will keep that song forever in my phone and system till i grow very old and leave this earth because it keeps reminding me of the beautiful Spanish series called visaAvis or locked.

This is an example of a cult classic.
You're literally contradicting yourselfπŸ˜‚.
The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter are cult classics that got mainstream popularity. The main reasons something is called a cult classic is
1. It has a very loyal fanbase that'll go to lengths to watch, interact and discuss about that piece of entertainment over long periods of time eg. The Terrifier
2. It's unique!!! A cult classic has to be UNIQUE!! No matter how bad or good a piece of entertainment is - it has to have something different about itπŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ. For example : The Room - it's one of the worst movies of all times but people still gather around almost every midnight too watch this movie because of how good it is being bad.
Rings of Power can't beat cult classic because it it's not unique in any way- it is just mid - there's nothing weird about it - nothing different about it after all, it's a reboot from something that's already a cult classicπŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ - how does that make it a cult classic in anyway. You really think people in the future will gather all their friends in a room to watch Rings of Power πŸ˜‚ - there's not even a scene in the movie that makes it stand out or to go viralπŸ˜‚. There's not even an actor or actress that'll make it a cult classic
Something like the Acolyte can be called a cult classic because of how divisive it is

Just assuming based on the fact that the power of the ring is making her to drift little by little but maybe she won't fall for it.
That's if they are following the book.

Fight night: The million dollar heist episode 4 is a solid 8. 5/10 for me.

Things just got real heated, streets just get bloody, now they will regret ever making the robbery.
Kelvin heart is dumb though grin he keeps making stupid decisions.
First by taking Terange home and secondly by not allowing his wife to atleast take the kids away.
Anyways i understand it's all in the storyline.
I kind of enjoy Terang's scenes though, proper America badass black woman.

I am curious though, the way the episode 3 ended, i feel the racist white police is to be blamed but i guess we have to wait to find out what happened.

Hehe e shock me because the orcs in season 1 were pure evil and brutal.
I am surprise that they are going after sauron in this season 2 and are now less brutal to humans.
Maybe this particular sauron is the mother of all evils that even the orcs are afraid of.
Lol
is sauron that guy that disguised as a king Abi which one be "mother" of all evils

Exactly- you think so, I don't agree with you πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ, I think it's a mid storyline just like every league of Legends game plotline - great characters - mid story unlike games with great plots like the Last of Us and GTA V. finalizar
Are we talking about the games or the TV show? Cos it's starting to sound like your bias against LoL is what leaked over to Arcane.

They've been certain for hundreds of years before his reemergence. They believed him to be dead and from Adar's speeches his aim is to find a home for his children but you I concur with your submission.

I just hope Sauron no quick Adar cuz he's one of my favorite character grin
Better find another favourite character o. If Sauron no rest him soul, someone else will do it

I don't know if they will fully follow the book somehow i feel galadriel might turn out to be the bride of sauron.
This is why i am eager to see the future of this project.

Lmao.... Galadriel, bride of Sauron. grin grin

You sure say you watch the LOTR movies so or read the book?
Anything that makes the showrunnners of Amazon to entertain that idea will be the final nail on the coffin for this show.

Galadriel vs Sauron relationship is just framed that way for more dramatics.

No, but the writers of the game made the show too so I can see where the mid-ness came from

Looks like you're not following the show at all. Right from season 1, they've been making Tolkien twitch and turn in his grave. Destroying canon has been their motive all alongπŸ˜ͺ. You can imagine them trying to make Orcs relatable by making them have wives and telling us they're fighting to keep their wives and children aliveπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ like Orcs are humans or elves with feeling - creatures that were made from goo and slime with one motive but to do the deeds of their maker. You can imagine what they'd do to the franchise next.

Adar doesn't want war with human. He doesn't want to go to war again for black lord or dark lord whatever.

He wants to be free. He wants a land for himself and his children to live free.

You haven't seen lord of the rings at all nor listen to saruman dialogues.


Orcs were originally human or elves whom were mutilated by the dark lord . Morgoth.
The mutilation by morgoth haven't gone far yet... that's why they still have human wants (wanting land and freedom) and not looking totally worse off .

Until Sauron got hold of them.. that's when they cease to be anything at all

Of course she will later turn out to be bride of Sauron. Sauron himself made reference to that..


In lord of the rings... I know galadriel is dark and wicked and so powerful BUT she's not hateful at all.. although she's shown as a good person in lord of rings oo..

Back story for her wanting Sauron dead is shit. Probably the girl acting galadriel is so annoying

Orcs are actually originally Elves. Its Morgoth who tortured I think about 13 of them who strayed too far from the rest of the tribe in middle earth.
He tortured them and mutilated them to the monstrous beings they are now.

And yep, Orcs actually do procreate just like Humans and Elves. That explains their huge numbers all through the ages.
It's just not talked about much to minimise the disgust.

Orcs made from mud and slime was originally Tolkien's plan before rewriting it with the Morgoth storyline. It's infused in the movie scene of Saruman making Orcs or Uruk-Hai from "mud and slime". More or less Peter Jackson's reference to Tolkien's original ideas.
