Rings of Power Season 2 Trailer Hopes NUKED at SDCC 2024

Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2 trailer was released at SDCC 2024. Alongside a full marketing push full of articles and interviews we find out a lot more about Rings of Power season 2. There are noticeably absent tactics from the marketing of season 1 missing from this, although sometimes the actors couldn't resist their natural inclinations. Alongside an Acolyte type push to make Sauron and Galadriel the thirst push of the season. This makes sense as the season is centered around Sauron, but is it what the viewers actually want? The hints and talk of strong independant characters are a warning sign, but also mixed morality and a psychological drama. While some of the things that were said I could get behind, it's still being made by the same people as Season 1. And so I can't have faith it'll be good, let alone actually respectful of Tolkien. But what do you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

Comicon has proven that Hollywood has learned, basically, nothing

Yoinked: "But they were all of them deceived, for another wig was made, deep in the salons of Mordor"

Not since 1945 has such a nuking been observed.

1:38 "For all the fan-fiction writers in the room..." Appropriate that he was addressing the stage when he said that.

Hot Sauron and Galadriel…. Poor, poor Tolkien.

It turns out that the tempest Galadriel felt inside of her was the end result of a Taco Bell big crunch combo.

That crown fell off the Witch Dorks head as though the soul of JRR Tolkien smacked it off shouting “you are UNWORTHY!”

At this point, a story that does not include these DEI tropes would be considered a “unique and subvertive take” on a IP.

If someone tells me they get tempted by a villain that wants to destroy the world and everything good in it, just because he's hot, I know that person has absolutely no morals.

"Oh oi've got a bran' new combine 'arvester". Never gets old. As does "throbbing".

Why do you need "world building" if this show was made for fans of Lord of the Rings? Make it make sense.

Rings of Power writers keep trying to turn a turd into chocolate cake and feeding it to people who call the rest of us who are grossed out hypocrites for not even trying the “chocolate cake”

It's so laughably obvious that they were given talking points. You don't get every single actor to use the phrase 'world-building' unless they were TOLD to say it. Everything about this is so laughably artificial and astroturfed.

The funnist part in the trailer is Galadriel, who is sbout 2500 years older then Gilgalad kneeling before him, looking like a teenager who was busted with her boyfriend in bed looking up to him and daddy Gilgalad asks her " who is this man" .I almost wet myself laughing, Galadriel all blushing and defensive.

I think the best part about these interviews is that in some case you can tell that these “actors” are fully aware that they’re in a shit show and it’s only a matter of time until Amazon has to pull the plug🔌

Man... What would I give for the opportunity to just ask one question on panels like these. "Tolkien created the world with its mythology, fully realized characters. A story about eternal struggle between good and evil. He was a university professor and made his own language. And he said that evil can't create, only corrupt. You like to say that you improved upon Tolkien. What did you make in your life?" Look at all of them, english is my second language and I can use it far better to express myself...

Whenever Tom Bombadil gets mentioned, all I can think of is I’ve Got A Brand New Combine Harvester😂🎶

Imagine you’re Bezos and these writers come into your house and take a massive, steaming dump on your expensive carpet. You throw it out and buy a new one and invite the writers over again. Who is the larger idiot in that scenario?

Can’t wait for the super fan videos and the insufferable cast interviews for season 2…
