Fresh Prince Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Not a fan of the choice for young Elrond. Will just have to go into this show with an open mind, and not compare to the original trilogy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will just have to go into this show with an open mind, and not compare to the original trilogy Young Elrond is the least of my worries actually. The Meteor Man and Harfoots (pre Hobbits) are my main concerns. I’m trying to keep an open mind also given that the original trilogy had its own flaws, and this takes place in an entirely different era where it’s supposed to be their version of a golden age. So far cautiously optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenos Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 On the plus side, the first two episodes should look pretty good visually. https://m.imdb.com/name/nm1260544/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Elrond who Will Poulter was going to play, before he left for GotG3? Look wise it’d fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMashMouthMike Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Light years better than the WOT. But I’m still skeptical. That first trailer was just about garbage. I don’t know what the meteor man is about. Got a hunch though. Spoiler The grey Istari Don’t want to ruin that for myself but probably already did. Looks very Galadriel centered, which might work, but idk if that’s from Tolkien. But might be over the top like in the hobbit I fear. And there’s so much room for them to add fluff to this because of the vagueness of the source material. If they hit the bad guys better than the wheel of time did, and don’t make their protagonists dumb emotional sissies, then I’ll at least enjoy it a bit.

Current theory for Meteor Man: Spoiler It’s Sauron because you see almost a flaming eye from the crash. If it is, then I wonder if they’ll subvert expectations by having him kill almost all the Harfoots by season’s end. And I liked the first teaser. But it was evident that they were still working on the visuals. I prefer that they concentrate on someone like Galadriel than the Harfoots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because he was already in Narnia and I’ll forever imagine him as annoying Eustace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they don’t make Elrond dumb or sissified. Isn’t he related to elves that took down Morgoth and Balrogs per cannon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad People Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Moria looks absolutely sick in this trailer along with a city that they showed along a water front (not numenor) It has circular walls the cities theyre creating are visually stunning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though less so. There are some cinematic shots that belong in a movie, and some that show it’s TV background.

I watched a video about the trailer after I watched it for myself and he mentioned the same thing during it as well I dont think I have a good enough eye per se to notice things like that Edited July 14, 2022 by mattyice0401 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
