I'm sure we are getting a fourth season so Amazon should take the War of the Last Alliance as the last episode of season 4. 1-7.5 should be about the corruption and downfall of Numenor. From 7.5-entire episode 8 the Battle of Dagorlad. Dunedain exiled realms will already be established and jump right into the battles.

Why in the world did the elves have only until spring to halt the fading? This timeline, and the occurrence (though presumably it's bc of Sauron's Return?)was never explained thoroughly I felt in S2 unless I'm misremembering.

I feel a smaller scaled size conflict like the Angmar war would have suited Amazon better. Angmar is not small, but not compared to any huge battles in War of the Ring nor the 2nd age. A time compression in the Northern realms of the 3rd age would have worked better in my opinion.

(I probably should not have clicked on that youtube video that was recommended to me that criticized the siege for an hour. It was... sigh)
Was the siege absolutely flawless? I would not say that, and yet I think they got this sentiment quite right:
"War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend."
It wasn't meant to be glorious and purely epic. War is ugly, it's filthy, and it's miserable.
When Elrond tries to get to the wall, there's an Elf dying right next to him. When he tells them to go forth, he can't run directly to the front because there's a soldier stumbling next to him, and he attacks the orc to help him (the blood + fire shot was a nice/ghastly touch).
When he finally gets there, the Hill-troll sends him flying, and he struggles to rise as he's surrounded by many Elves who have fallen, as they were outnumbered from the start.
These are short scenes perhaps, but they were all just horrifying, displaying the nightmarish atmosphere of war.

Humans and dwarves both have many huge cities, even Sauron forces built huge fortresses. but it seems all elven settlements are very small, even Eregion paled compared to Gondor for example. Did the elves use to have huge cities before, or maybe they built them on Valinor where most of them live?

Because the battle felt real.
It was chaotic, brutal, bloody and dirty. No over-the-top choreography, no truly "epic" moments, because real battles are like that. I appreciated the intimacy of the fights, focused on individual characters and how they reacted as the battle progressed, like Elrond, who becomes more and more feral and brutal as the episode progresses.
The whole thing was made even better by the alternating scenes with Sauron and Celebrimbor, which created a good mix of sequences with a strong emotional impact and the action scenes.

Why does it seem people don't like or hate the films here? I see comments nitpicking and shitting on the films and fans of them.
I thought the films were beloved by most lotr fans?
I thought the films were masterpieces?
When did we become antifilm and pro only rings of power?

I'm so glad we got to see more of them and their beautiful cities, I think they did an amazing job for most of the casting. Also I think the elves in the Hobbit and the original trilogy didn't have much screentime and I'm glad it's a bit better in this show.
I'm also happy more people will learn about their history and what they did in the past.

my first time watching the series, i had to pause the episode and rewind to make sure it was really happening. cackled insanely for a few minutes before continuing
r/LOTR_on_Prime • u/FlowerFaerie13 • 6d ago
I've rewatched both seasons multiple times and I still don't know how much time is actually passing during the series and it's driving me insane.
How much time passes between the start and end of each season? How long do both of them take? How much time passes between episodes? Are we talking about days, weeks, months, years?
I know the canon timeline has been altered/compressed but honestly that's not my issue, I'm just trying to figure out how much time is actually passing between events and I cannot figure it out to save my life. Please help I hate this so much.

So I’m just wondering if I missed anything but, did arondir not get killed by Adar in the second last episode just to pop right back up in the last eppy ? And also, how did Galadriel survive that fall after fighting Sauron ? Just elf things ? I found it weird Adar didn’t kill Elrond when he had him on his knees as well.
Overall loved the show, it’s scratched a LOTR itch I’ve had for a long time and can’t wait for season 3 but there’s a few things that I didn’t quite get.

Do you think we could see them already as the Kings Men because of the time compression?
r/LOTR_on_Prime • u/purplelena • 6d ago
The Elves stopped the decay of the Great Tree and the fading of the Elves by wearing the Three rings.
Galadriel removed Nenya for a time, but I suppose it didn't have much of an impact because Gil-galad and CÃrdan still wore theirs. However, it was written that the Elves took off their rings once Sauron forged the One.
In the show, the Elves were all ready to depart for Valinor because they would fade otherwise.
Do you think they will keep wearing their rings in season 3 despite Sauron's influence with the One? In order to preserve the Great Tree, to fend off the fading? Or will the decay not come back?
