The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
Warning : This clause contains spoiler for The Rings of Power time of year 2 , episodes 1 - 3 .
The Rings of Powerseason 2 is establish the aftermath of Sauron ’s return key , but rather than making viewers root for its heroes , Amazon’sLord of the Ringsshow is making it voiceless to support characters they ’re supposed to like . The Rings of Power ’s sophomore time of year open where the previous outing go away off , with Elrond taking the three Elven rings from Galadriel and race to Gil - galad . He tells theHigh King of the Elvesof Halbrand ’s conjuring trick , but Galadriel faces few consequences for welcoming Sauron into the congregation .
From there , the characters continue to play into Sauron ’s plan , even after what come about at theend ofThe Rings of Powerseason 1 . In some ways , this is inevitable . Based onJ.R.R. Tolkien ’s Holy Writ , Sauron will uprise to tycoon during theSecond Age of Middle - world , so there ’s nothing the part can do to stop him . However , The Rings of Powerseason 2 date several of them making poorly call back - out decisions way too easily . It make it incredibly difficult to root for these characters , as it ’s so obvious they ’re get the improper choice .
The Rings of Power time of year 1 contains many trace that the Stranger is actually Gandalf , and I ’m even more convinced after season 2 ’s premiere .
Galadriel Is Making Her Sauron Mistake Worse In The Rings Of Power Season 2
She Hardly Takes Responsibility & Plays Right Into The Villain’s Hand
Galadriel makes many confutable mistakes throughoutThe Rings of Powerseason 1 , and she only digs her heel in deep during season 2 . We knew fromThe Rings of Powerseason 2 trailersthat Galadriel would be tempted by the Elven rings , and herbestLord of the Ringsscene confirmshow much powerfulness they nurse over her . However , it ’s shocking how easily she work into Sauron ’s hand in season 2 , even after Halbrand betrays her so thoroughly . She barely even considers that Elrond is right about the Rings of Power being corrupted , pushing for their use far too quickly .
One could fence that Galadiel is but trying to continue her hoi polloi ’s time in Middle - earth , but she does n’t even seem infringe over using the rings Halbrand helped to make .
One could argue that Galadiel is merely trying to conserve her multitude ’s time in center - solid ground , but she does n’t even seem conflicted over using the Rings of Power Halbrand help to make . For someone who knows how crafty and dangerous Sauron can be , she also does n’t seem peculiarly interested in finding him . She does n’t consider that he could intercept their messages to Celebrimbor , andshe hardly takes answerableness for her actions when speaking with Gil - galad and Elrond . As the former notes , she even trip the light fantastic around Halbrand ’s true identity .

All of these things make it concentrated to rootle for Galadriel , even though she ’s one ofThe Rings of Power ’s most of import character . It ’s bad enough that she ’s responsible for Sauron ’s wins throughout season 1 , but the fact that she makes her mistake even worse in season 2 is unforgivable . Hopefully , she ’ll find a way to save herself infutureRings of Powerepisodes .
Disa, One Of The Rings Of Power’s Best Characters, Is Pushing The Dwarfs To Destruction
She Should Have Listened To Prince Durin IV
Disa is n’t a character straight off taken from Tolkien ’s writing , butDurin IV ’s wife is play a polar role inThe Rings of Powerseason 2 — and that ’s not necessarily a good thingfor the Dwarfs . We sleep with the Dwarfs will become corrupted by their own set of hoop sometime during the Amazon series , and it will ultimately lead to their ruination . Their insistence on digging too deeply in the mine will also wake the Balrog , dooming Khazad - dûm and those who know there .
Disa is one of the good character inThe Rings of Powerseason 1 , and she seems to equilibrize her husband well . However , she ’s pushing the Dwarfs towards destruction in season 2 , and that makes it hard to get on her side . Despite Durin IV ’s mistrust of Annatar and the rings , Disa seems inclined to hear them out . She tug Durin IV to speak to his Father of the Church about the Rings of Power , and she ’s also on card with the excavation projection . Disa ’s concern for her people drive her actions , but it ’s still hard to root for her , knowing what ’s coming .
The Rings Of Power’s Cirdan Is Arrogant & Corrupted By The Rings' Power
Someone With His Wisdom Should Know Better
Unlike Disa , Cirdan is pulled directly from Tolkien ’s work , and he ’s meant to be one of the wisest and most honorable Elves in Middle - earth . Unfortunately , The Rings of Powerseason 2 does n’t impersonate Cirdan this agency . Although the showtellsus that he ’s old and wise when Elrond try him out , his actions do n’t back up this verbal description . The Amazon series changes how Cirdan gets his Ring of Power , with him tally to put down the Three for Elrond — then experience a alteration of heart just as he ’s about to do so .
While this could be attributed to Elven farsightedness , the series also make it seem as though Cirdan is corrupted by the rings ' influence . In Tolkien ’s writings , he receives Narya from Gil - galad , meaning he bear little incrimination for what happen as a solvent of their creation . The Rings of Powerseason 2 makes his natural action more antagonistic , as they feed directly into Sauron ’s plan . His choice also comes off as a betrayal to Elrond , which makes his eccentric seem less likable . The series will want to work harder if it wants to depict Cirdan accurately operate forwards .
Gil-galad Is Still A Terrible Leader In The Rings Of Power Season 2
There’s No Getting Around This Harsh Reality
Gil - galad is an Elven drawing card we should be steady down for inThe Rings of Powerseason 2 , buthe remains a terrible High King in the latest episodes . The Rings of Powerseason 1 already turned Gil - galadfrom an awesome part into one who ’s easily duped . The Silmarillioncharacterizes the High King as levelheaded , strong , and strategic . It also run into him mistrusting Annatar , whileThe Rings of Power ’s version of the character hardly suspects Halbrand or anyone else of magic . His mistakes stay into season 2 , confirming that this looping of Gil - galad isnotthe drawing card Tolkien wrote about .
His mistakes continue into season 2 , confirming that this iteration of Gil - galad isnotthe leader Tolkien pen about .
Gil - galad hardly take heed to Elrond ’s concern about the Rings of Power , make up one’s mind all too quickly that they ’re the only way to save the Elves and Middle - earth . He also permit Galadriel off the hook for her Sauron mistake far too easily . He even allows her to proceed being ask in important matters , though he at least set Elrond in charge of their missionary work . Overall , Gil - galad does n’t inspire confidence or admiration with his actions inThe Rings of Powerseason 2 . He may have found a means to prolong the Elves ' prison term in Middle - earthly concern , but he ’s still doomed many people to terrible fates .
