Okay this post has made me go crazy with ideas that will NEVER come to pass I know, but just humor me..

I wish ROP brings back all their iconic fallen characters' actors as Hobbits in the final season's final shots, set in what will become Hobbiton!!

Charles Edwards (Celebrimbor) all twinkling with excitement, explaining how he is upgrading his smial to a Hobbit girl with golden hair who turns around & we see it's Amelia Kenworthy (Mirdania) nodding!!

A family of Hobbits working on their crops and its Lloyed Owens (Elendil), Maxim Baldry (Isildur), Ema Horvath (Earien) & [anarion's actor], a lady hobbit enters the field with refreshments for everybody and it's Cynthia Addai-Robinson!! (Queen Miriel)

Sam Hazeldine (Adar S2) is selling fruits on a stand while flirting with Joseph Mawle (Adar S1), who is selling flowers just beside him!

Robert Strange (Glûg) & Geoff Morrell (Waldreg) are impatiently waiting for Sam to finish being a flirt so they can buy raspberries!!

Trystan Gravelle (Pharazon) & Leon Wadham (Kemen) are selling baked goods on a nearby stand & Alex Tarrant (Valandil) is bickering with them over prices while Anthony Crum (Ontamo) sneaks a muffin to eat.

Simon Merrells (Marchwarden) is showing off his biggest Pumpkins to Augustus Prew (Medhor) who is visibly very very bored.

Will Fletcher (Finrod) is going around the market with a beaming smile talking to everyone like he knows everyone! (he does)

Peter Mullan (Durin III) is smoking what will become Pipe-weed while chilling outside his smial.

There is an interview (link below) with Anthony Crum (Ontamo) in which he talks about the actors they met in the gym and Joseph Mawle was one of them. He gets called “an absolute beast” (~22:28 💪). And they paint this picture of these Númenórean soldiers just watching the one playing the bad guy (looking “like the epitome of death”) they eventually have to fight just killing it. “I mean he is a nice guy but in the gym just wow”. They couldn´t compete, “he´s running in between sets (...) doing like twice the weight of us” he´s like “chiseled to the bone” (~23:25) “That was scary.” Crum gets asked, if they were ever tempted despite him being “massive in the gym” to mess with the “dark competition across” the room even then, “steal his water bottle” or something (~25:05 💧) “I wouldn´t mess with that dude, would you mess with that dude (referring to Adar not the actor).” It also ends with being “so motivated” to go to the gym, wanting to photoshop the characters/actors in there and the recommendation to “get a photo of Joseph/Adar, just put it on the wall and look into his eyes (...) as you kill weighs (...) (”just go ah...” ... “dude´s coming after you??)” “We´ve heard he´s such a lovely guy too like that´s the amazing thing, right how someone so nice could play someone so .. that´s the acting part I guess .. but ah we all have these sides in us the dark, the ....”  (~85:35 👀) Also totally recommend that whole interview! “15 daggers”!  | Adar (Joseph Mawle) 01x05 “Partings” | Chiseling axe & Elrond (Robert Aramayo) 01x04 “The Great Wave” | The Rings of Power | https://podtail.com/no/podcast/an-unexpected-podcast-talkin-tolkien/interview-w-anthony-crum-as-ontamo-from-rings-of-p/  Gratitude goes to @bluestaratsunrise for sharing the link in the Discord!
