Season 2 of The Rings of Power has quickly become the talk of the town and it's being celebrated for its breathtaking visuals and its fresh approach towards continuing the legacy of The Lord of the Rings.
Prequels of cult classics are crucial to preserving the legacy of beloved franchises. Whether it's House of the Dragon redeeming the disappointing end of Game of Thrones or The Rings of Power expanding J.R.R. Tolkien's universe that captivated fans with The Lord of the Rings. The Rings of Power Season 2 continues the epic journey through Middle-earth, delving deeper into the origins of the rings and the rise of dark forces. Set thousands of years before The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, it offers stunning visuals and intricate storytelling while expanding Tolkien’s lore and exploring the conflicts and alliances shaping Middle-earth’s future.
While Season 1 rekindled the passion of devoted fans, Season 2 promises even more action, political intrigue, and character development. With new and familiar characters facing mounting threats, including Sauron's growing influence, anticipation is at an all-time high. Twitter is buzzing with theories, discussions, and spoilers as fans dive deeper into the mystery. For those who have followed Tolkien’s work closely, Season 2 may finally offer answers to long-standing questions.

I can understand if certain aspects of #RingsOfPower don't work for some people. I feel much the same at times.

But seeing Tom Bombadil, Barrow-wights and Entwives all in one episode really brought me great joy. This show embraces Tolkien's world so beautifully sometimes. pic.twitter.com/Ai4vWSuAVb
You don’t need to agree, you can hate all the differences and changes made, but The Rings of Power is doing for TV (and arguably for film and media in general), what The Lord of the Rings Trilogy did for Cinema.

thinking about the fact that Sauron used Galadriel even in these scenes

first making Adar believe she was his ally and then still pretending to be her friend in front of Celebrimbor
this is his subconscious speaking 💀
he hasn't moved on, the obsession is real#TheRingsOfPower pic.twitter.com/i9oTHnfNNn

One of the first clues to Tom Bombadil’s wholly unique presence in Middle-earth is the score by Bear McCreary

It’s inherently diegetic within the introductory scene.
Later on, we discover that Tom’s songs truly are “stronger songs.”
He is “Eldest”, after all.#TheRingsOfPower pic.twitter.com/94I3IzEKut
I once again just want to applaud Charlie Vickers for his amazing portrayal of Sauron. Putting so many different personalities and feelings into one character is so immensely beautiful to watch 🤍#TROP #TheRingsofPower pic.twitter.com/eKbjQsWKBN

Not sure we've talked enough about how foul this foreshadowing for Isildur is#TheRingsOfPower pic.twitter.com/1Hj8ZsGOBm

It’s so sad seeing these two pull apart because they’re both so scared and want something to believe in to keep them from crushing under pressure and losing all hope. But I’m sorry sassy Elrond is just so funny 😭#TheRingsOfPower #TROPspoiler pic.twitter.com/JoAO8qyS71

Bear McCreary's score in #TheRingsOfPower should get all the awards & then some. This is fantasy music at its very best. I can listen to five seconds of each track & immediately know what kingdom/race/character it belongs to. Distinctive, epic, memorable music.

#TROPspoilers #TheRingsOfPower decisively answers any doubts it's "not Tolkien enough" with an Elf apologizing to an Ent and Entwife for harming a tree, Barrow-wights, and TOM BOMBADIL. **All in a single episode** pic.twitter.com/T4DUqsk5b2
