mormont Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Yeah. From what I can see, it appears to be the actor's decision, but that's not a good sign for season 2. Veltigar and Ran 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofice Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 If he is bailing because he is reading the signs of where this show is going then that is bad. He was one of maybe a tiny handful of people who gave a watchable performance in the show. I don't know the guy they replaced him with, 'm sure he's good, but hopefully he won't be reduced to Hollyoaks level performances like everyone else.

Corvinus85 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 So I wonder if he saw the script for season 2 and thought that his character was just going to be nothing more than Sauron's punching bag or something. Sounds like he didn't think there was anything more to explore about Adar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mormont Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I mean, I liked ROP more than most here but honestly, it's hardly a shock that it isn't on that list. I suppose some might cite the cost again, and say that for that money it should be, but that's a stale and simplistic argument at this point.

Heartofice Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 There is a couple of shows on that list I haven’t seen, but RoP shouldn’t be uttered in the same sentence as Andor, Severance or House of the Dragon. Farerb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoP should be at the top of that list. So far on top that it hovers right over the list and disappears into the ether... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His character was certainly a fan favourite even though the Adar plot is way outside the box. But it was interesting. Not nearly as ridiculous for Mawle as Coldhands in GoT. Durin and Elrond are all around fan favourites as well. Durin especially is quite a hoot. I'll also put in a good word for Nori, Poppy and the Stranger as well. There is some speculation that the character of Adar would be killed off in Season 2. So perhaps sticking around wasn't that appealing.

Same here. Season 1 was slow getting off the ground. But it has some redeeming characteristics and I'm interested to see where it goes next season before writing it off.
