Ran Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) 1 hour ago, Ser Scot A Ellison said: It’s worse than described… No… no… no… no… just fucking… NO! This has to be fake. That theory doesn't exist. It's just random trolling, or the production throwing out fake stuff that's so bad that people will feel relief when it's merely poor rather than abysmal.

Yeah, but they're literally just saying it's all from a deleted anon post on 4chan. Their post adds a few rumors they themselves have heard, and their tenor and content is very different from this 4chan crack post. I would be extremely cautious about believing any of the 4chan stuff. Edited January 19 by Ran Ser Scot A Ellison and Corvinus85 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingAerys_II Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 The death of Finrod seems a worthless mistake, but it is a great deal, so he died at the time of Beren and Luthien , after Beren and Luthien the most important events happened : the life of Turin, the fifth battle, the fall of Gondolin and the war of wrath, so Finrod actually died thousands of years before the rings of power Ser Scot A Ellison 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingAerys_II Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 It's really a waste, because the birth of the Nazgul, the fall of Numenor are very interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's how the show decided to show how and what he died for that was wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a sitcom about Scott reacting to stuff like this just crying to be made. EDIT: It would have to include some elements of tragedy, obviously.

I laugh at this, but the mindset is similar. The theory about Tom and Goldberry is that they are in fact evil people living in the midst of a world unaware of their darkness. Q theories are all about Dems/liberals being Satanists, cannibals or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibandar Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 On 1/13/2024 at 10:14 PM, Ser Drewy said: Pre-Production for Rings of Power's third season reportedly begins: The interesting about the Bombadil suggestion is that I saw The Adventures of Tom Bombadil is being reprinted in August to coincide with Season 2 of the Rings of Power, as per the book publisher. So that suggests that while nothing has been mentioned yet, behind the scenes they seem to be looking at an August-September premiere. And Bombadil, in whatever capacity, might well be in season 2, which is exciting, as long as they dont make it ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
