This series is less dynamic than the previous one. I'm even starting to agree with those who think that the ancestral line of Hobbits and the Wanderer is superfluous in this series. Their appearance immediately removes the sharpness of the experience and makes the plot somehow more loose, not finalized? In the first season, their characters were better written.
If you don't linger on this moment for a long time, then almost everything else is breathtaking, especially around Sauron and the elves, Sauron and the dwarves, and Elendil and Miriel.
I liked the parallel between the dwarf king Durin and Kelibrimor, that they both no longer belong to themselves, but obey the power of the rings. At the same time, in the English voiceover, the word precious was repeated several times (how can I not remember Gollum and his charm). Kelibrimor, of course, is already in fact a slave to Sauron, or better to say a slave to his work, obsession with it. It will be interesting to see his epiphany, perhaps in the next episode. Most of all, this story captures the moment when Sauron creates a virtual reality for Kelibrimor. It was unexpected and very cool!!
And of course, I was amused by how Sauron said goodbye to the king of the dwarves, just an orevoir of bambino, it's nice to say goodbye, I won't see you again :))) It looks like barlog will be awakened in this era after all...
I like the image of Elendil more and more, his loyalty to his principles and love. I see in him the future Great King of Arnor and Gondor and the ancestor of Aragorn. Every time, step by step, his spiritual strength and nobility are revealed.
The season is already coming to an end, and from this it is sad and a great expectation of exactly how it will end this time. Eh.

There is too little Sauron in this series! Of course, he is good in the image of Annatar, but I still lack the brutality of Halbrand. In Farazon's vision, he is dark and straight hot hot. Elendil is a man with a capital letter! It's not for nothing that he immediately fell into my soul. I agree with all the words of the first commentator on his account.Indeed, a man of honor, a worthy future leader of the Faithful. Unfortunately, the current Adar does not put the squeeze on like a Mole. Either that , I don't perceive anyone else anymore. Kirkorov's Farazon resembles😂😂😂. Elendil's daughter is infuriating, they would rather show Anarion already. At least, I hope he will. I'm looking forward to the battle in Eregion with sadness, like in the battle of Helm's Pad. At least it's over there, but here we already know that there will be no happy ending. Well, the battle of Sauron and Galadriel with the crown in his dark hands would soon be over🫠

I am not a fanboy of the universe, I am not a hater of the series, but I considered the first season a failure, mainly from the cringe of dialogues that may work in books, but definitely do not work on the screen. I watched episode after episode, I don't know why, but apparently, because of the love of the universe, I couldn't quit like that. And surprisingly, by the end of season 1, I even thought that the last episodes were tolerable, hence I gave a chance and started watching the second one. And, in fact, from the very beginning of season 2, I realized that it was many times more interesting and better than the first, so I really waited for every next episode. And I will say that this series is my homage. 0 cringe of dialogues, a lot of content, there was no overabundance of any of the lines, the plot advanced and not weakly, in fact, no filler moments, not to mention the entire series. So far, this is the best episode in 2 seasons. If it doesn't get worse, but at least also, honestly, it won't be a shame for sure, it will be good and it's a shame that many left and didn't endure because of the shameful beginning. But, it's your own fault, because you had to cling right away and not slow down, because you are greeted by clothes

Everyone has their own way-I liked the first season too. In VK, too, the beginning was slow, the first film in general, as if without end, like the first Dune. As they say-beauty is in the eyes of the beholder))). I will definitely review both before the start of the third season. Many people look for flaws initially, but if they didn't, they would immerse themselves in the world of Middle-earth, see the formation of such an interesting character as Sauron, and just enjoy a beautiful visual and a story that, although different from the original source, is even more interesting. I am glad, of course, that people continue to look, even if it has not gone and change their minds for the better. There is someone to discuss the series with, otherwise the household is not in the subject, they have to retell it.

There are some good moments in the series. For example, the choice that Tom put in front of Gandalf. True, there is little intrigue here, because of course he will choose Nori, but in the end, most likely, this choice will regain control of the forces. It's a pretty common trope, I'd be surprised if it's not the case here. Durin has a much more interesting choice. Let's see if we can stand up to the father, and if his brain clears up. Sauron and Celebrimbor have the most interesting moments again. As soon as the latter tries to break free from Sauron's bonds, he comes up with something new! And his powers are damn powerful, considering what a huge illusion he was able to create. I'm really waiting for the battle for the Eregion))

the most exciting scenes are, of course, where Sauron weaves everything around with his wishes. It is very gloomy to watch the honey flowing from his mouth.

Because of the honey from his mouth, I began to watch in the original. Thanks to the guys who translate and voice the series, it's a lot of work!

And sometimes in such an imperious, rude voice. It gives you even more goosebumps. The favorite phrase of the whole series, when he says to Galadriel in a whisper: "what do you know about darkness?"

@msergevna91: Тут не в моей точке зрения дело. Сериал объективно плох. Я вот иногда люблю смотреть фильмы категории Б, да они очень плохого качества, но порой это даже прикольно. И я не буду говорить что они хорошие, я прекрасно знаю что они плохие. Этот сериал можно поминутно разобрать если захотеть, и найти там сотни косяков и нелогичностей. Именно эта сотня косяков и нелогичностей, и делает его плохим. При этом многое можно было бы исправить, это не так сложно. Например корабль стоит с опущенными парусами. Режиссёру было насрать, оператору было насрать, монтажёру было насрать. Или многотысячная армия, с гиганскими требушетами, скорость передвижения у которых максимум 3 км в час (это с учётом их технологий в лучшем случае, у них же дорог нет, каким образом они это на себе волокли), каким то образом телепортировалась к стенам замка, и ни кто не заметил. Зачем сняли так? Это нужно истории? Нет. Можно было бы снять по нормальному, с разведкой, с блокпостами, с форпостами. Но. Режисёру насрать, сценаристу насрать, продюсеру насрать. Если понимать как мир устроен, как законы физики работают, то всё это максимально глупо. (Не нужно говорить что это фантазии. Если бы они хотели, то могли бы придумать магический способ как разместить тысячу лошедей в трёх короблях, но не придумали и не показали, потому что им насрать).

@alekseev_vitaliy: The answer will be quite straightforward: the directors and part-time screenwriters Patrick McKay and John D. Payne have never been geniuses (to say the least), besides, they lack the experience necessary for such a large project. Check out their track record on IMDB. Do you know why "quotes"? Because it is almost empty, the main question is not why it was shot so badly, but why were they entrusted with the Rings of Power? Perhaps they were the ones who suggested / pitched the idea to remove VK: KV to the owner of Amazon, but damn it, even the Wachowski brothers were forced to remove the 1996 Connection before shooting the 1st Matrix for verification, and Peter Jackson was forced to remove the 1996 Scarecrows in front of the Lord of the Rings.
@msev: Stratrek-Infinity is also not the best movie in the series... they ruined everything they could reach.. (

@msev: They are not directors. They're showrunners. The directors are different people there. But in general, I agree. It is not very surprising that they did not turn out to be the second Beni and Vasya. And the final quality is a consequence of their ineptitude. (Yes, they could have been lucky and turned out to be talents, but it didn't work out)

Somewhere in Mandos, Feanor is sad, watching his grandson make gestures because of the tsatzok (or vice versa, he is glad that the genes have taken their toll)

Sauron has a lot of work to do in the next episode to hide this bombing from Kelibrimbor. The line in the Numenor is straining logically. It seems like it is customary to strangle political rivals or for them to accidentally fall on the sword...48 times. At the very least, put in prison for violating all laws at once (there would be a person, but there will be a case). At the very least, exile. Somehow, the revolution happened famously and fervently, and then the revolutionaries extremely softened in their actions. Of course, I expect Tolkien's fairy tale to be a game of thrones, but damn. Somehow it's all wrong. Otherwise, it looks good. The dwarf king is going crazy and hints of a balrog, adar and a Tick (she was divorced again). With Gandalf, there is still little dynamics. Brought to the field, look for your elder wand (was I wrong with the universe?). Nori and a girlfriend who literally sit and do nothing and who are unclear where to put them. It's like they've fulfilled their scenario function, but it's a pity to throw it away. Definitely the second season is more cheerful than the boring first

@Lighthouse012: the Numenor line generally infuriates almost everyone). We can only hope that the situation there will become more cheerful and interesting in terms of intrigue with the appearance of a new prisoner in the third season.

Insanely sorry for Celebrimbor, I want Sauron to write a bream in his face, especially checking out what will happen later with Kelembrimbor, this is just an incredibly cruel emotional line turns out (It's just not enough that now he drives him crazy and brainwashes him, so then he will come out of the forge, bring Sauron rings on a platter, and from his city Is there nothing left? Trash(

Wait, wait- what do you mean, on a platter?but what about the torture and the elven "scarecrow" made of it to intimidate the elves? Or do you think they will go the other way? But I agree, I feel sorry for the uncle and the inhabitants of the Eregion, I am sad in advance .

Не нашла информации, что за Кракен живёт в море, которого призвали на суд Валар? Он сам Валар? Каким тогда образом его надеялись обмануть? Или как и орла, превратно истолковать "знак", и надеятся что чудовище (Валар) замнет вопрос?

Which. Sauron. Cool. since childhood, Ever was the most terrible villain for me, because he did not have a human form and in general did not seem to do anything on the screen himself (nazguls, orcs, Saruman did all the evil for him). That made her even more afraid of him.
Here, of course, the level of horror is greatly reduced at the expense of handsome Charles, but respect for power is beyond the limit. It's just to the point of trembling how he guides the minds and hearts of everyone around, still not doing anything with his own hands directly.
Well, meanwhile, Ar Farazon spoilers the third season. We are waiting for the fall of Numenor.
The dwarf line is still top.

@Meloman_Nastena: the time of horror has not come yet))). I wonder how Sauron will be in Numenor and after his fall, whether Charlie will continue to play him. I would really like him to be in the role to the last, so intimidating, maybe with some scary makeup, worse than Adar. I'm just waiting for me to start hating him, just like in VK. But it's going to be sooooo difficult.

11 Oct 01:24 # Show original
No, they won't miss such gold as Charles)) Judging by the comments in all the media, he and the dwarves are the only thing that everyone likes))
However, I really would not like what is happening in Numenor to resemble what he did with Kelibrimbor. I don't really want to watch the third season of Sauron coming somewhere and mashing something. It's just that Ar Farazon looks like easy prey so far, but it needs to be shown why Sauron will be afraid of Numenor and his heirs for the rest of his life

Each scene of Tom and Gandalf gives you 3 episodes of The Last of Us. The new king of Numenor is Germaine's boring twin brother from a parallel universe. According to the similarity of the new Adar, I will probably keep silent.

Well, Sauron's powers are getting stronger, and Adar is still proud, he thinks he will overcome him. Celebrimbor is besotted with the idea of rings and Sauron's manipulations. Erigion will fall, it is already on fire.. King Durin in the power of the ring does not understand anything and everything is not enough for him. God grant that he will be brought to reason or simply take the ring off him, although it is very difficult for the rolls, because the ring does not want to be taken off. Disa and Prince Durin have all the hope for them! The Numenorians are changing power again, Meriel is the true queen, but what Farazon saw in palantir prevails. The Varal court is impressive, especially the judge *, we can say that the Kraken itself. Oh, if Galadriel had a ring, it would be epic to watch his power with her!
If you don't linger on this moment for a long time, then almost everything else is breathtaking, especially around Sauron and the elves, Sauron and the dwarves, and Elendil and Miriel.
I liked the parallel between the dwarf king Durin and Kelibrimor, that they both no longer belong to themselves, but obey the power of the rings. At the same time, in the English voiceover, the word precious was repeated several times (how can I not remember Gollum and his charm). Kelibrimor, of course, is already in fact a slave to Sauron, or better to say a slave to his work, obsession with it. It will be interesting to see his epiphany, perhaps in the next episode. Most of all, this story captures the moment when Sauron creates a virtual reality for Kelibrimor. It was unexpected and very cool!!
And of course, I was amused by how Sauron said goodbye to the king of the dwarves, just an orevoir of bambino, it's nice to say goodbye, I won't see you again :))) It looks like barlog will be awakened in this era after all...
I like the image of Elendil more and more, his loyalty to his principles and love. I see in him the future Great King of Arnor and Gondor and the ancestor of Aragorn. Every time, step by step, his spiritual strength and nobility are revealed.
The season is already coming to an end, and from this it is sad and a great expectation of exactly how it will end this time. Eh.
But if a hefty gigachad came out of the crowd there and said - I love the gorgeous ones, let's meet.
That would be funny and interesting.
Purely in the Middle Ages, these skinny girls are clearly some kind of sick, she will die in the first winter. And here are such loins.
But Poppy got some kind of cartoon outcast.
I am glad to be deceived myself"

"- Exactly at midnight
- What's at midnight?
- Come to the barn, you won't regret it. I don't have time to take care of myself. You're attractive, I'm damn attractive, why waste time? At midnight. I'm waiting.
- How dare you?!
- I dare my dear. I dare you.
- Are you crazy?
- On the contrary. I'm so normal that sometimes I'm surprised myself.
- You're a scoundrel.
- yes. And tell me, who is good today? "(c)
Aragorn is the 39th descendant of Isildur.
Viggo Mortensen was just lucky that there was no agenda at the beginning of the noughties and Aragorn was not one of the "black" numenorians.)
So his role would have been given to Samuel L. Jackson or even (save and preserve the Era of Iluvatar!) Brie Larson...
Elendil is a man with a capital letter! It's not for nothing that he immediately fell into my soul. I agree with all the words of the first commentator on his account.Indeed, a man of honor, a worthy future leader of the Faithful.
Unfortunately, the current Adar does not put the squeeze on like a Mole. Either that , I don't perceive anyone else anymore.
Kirkorov's Farazon resembles😂😂😂.
Elendil's daughter is infuriating, they would rather show Anarion already. At least, I hope he will.
I'm looking forward to the battle in Eregion with sadness, like in the battle of Helm's Pad. At least it's over there, but here we already know that there will be no happy ending.
Well, the battle of Sauron and Galadriel with the crown in his dark hands would soon be over🫠
And if about Sauron, then I agree, in the current image, the abuser and the gaslighter are immediately visible, but he is not deprived of charisma. Those evil genius grins of his. I hope the actor doesn't let his acting down any further.
Durin has a much more interesting choice. Let's see if we can stand up to the father, and if his brain clears up.
Sauron and Celebrimbor have the most interesting moments again. As soon as the latter tries to break free from Sauron's bonds, he comes up with something new! And his powers are damn powerful, considering what a huge illusion he was able to create. I'm really waiting for the battle for the Eregion))
and the way Galadriel instinctively deviated from her was just fine.
the most exciting scenes are, of course, where Sauron weaves everything around with his wishes. It is very gloomy to watch the honey flowing from his mouth.
the ending, where the illusion falls, is incomparable.
And so , I watched a series of kicks , read the comments , got even more excited that more people still come in than not )
The finale of the series is generally fire. )
In general, just don't close it. I repeat. I'm very worried about the future of the series.
And so yes, it's hard without the officials. It's a strange policy. Netflix officially duplicates, and Amazon stops doing subs.
Этот сериал можно поминутно разобрать если захотеть, и найти там сотни косяков и нелогичностей. Именно эта сотня косяков и нелогичностей, и делает его плохим. При этом многое можно было бы исправить, это не так сложно. Например корабль стоит с опущенными парусами. Режиссёру было насрать, оператору было насрать, монтажёру было насрать. Или многотысячная армия, с гиганскими требушетами, скорость передвижения у которых максимум 3 км в час (это с учётом их технологий в лучшем случае, у них же дорог нет, каким образом они это на себе волокли), каким то образом телепортировалась к стенам замка, и ни кто не заметил. Зачем сняли так? Это нужно истории? Нет. Можно было бы снять по нормальному, с разведкой, с блокпостами, с форпостами. Но. Режисёру насрать, сценаристу насрать, продюсеру насрать.
Если понимать как мир устроен, как законы физики работают, то всё это максимально глупо. (Не нужно говорить что это фантазии. Если бы они хотели, то могли бы придумать магический способ как разместить тысячу лошедей в трёх короблях, но не придумали и не показали, потому что им насрать).
Ну а если вы не понимаете как мир устроен, и почему этот сериал плох, то есть такой очень старый анекдот:
Мужик выходит из кинотеатра: – Вот, все говорят, фильм для дураков, для дураков, а мне понравился!
Главная моя мечта, чтобы шоураноров этих уволили, и наняли нормальных, тогда проект можно будет спасти. Ну и актёров выпороть, чтобы играть нормально начали. Хэлбранд старается, а вот Галя ни рыба ни мясо.

According to Amazon, “The Rings of Power” Season 2 now sits among its top five most-viewed television seasons ever behind “Fallout” and Season 2 of “Reacher.” 2022’s “The Terminal List” has been bumped down to No. 6. https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/the-rings-of-power-season-2-ratings-viewers-1236139568/
Да и если посмотреть на существующую статитстику без восторгов, то первые серии второго сезона собрали 40 миллионов просмотров, а когда выходил первый сезон, речь шла о 80 миллионах просмотров. Падение интереса зрителей в два раза. Но я и в 40 миллионов не верю, скорее всего гораздо меньше.
Вот и играют они свою силу лишь на словах, при том очень убого и не правдоподобно.
