#trop season 2

[apoloadonisandnarcissus]

A while back someone was complaining about Sauron “breaking the fourth wall” in Season 2 of RoP, and, folks, this is not Sauron “breaking the fourth wall”, this is him using his most notorious power in Tolkien legendarium: the eye of Sauron

Even if you only saw the Peter Jackson movies (and even if his portrayal of Third Age Sauron is not lore accurate, because Sauron did had a physical form), Saruman describes this power to the audience in “Fellowship of the Ring”: “Concealed within his fortress, the lord of Mordor sees all. His gaze pierces cloud, shadow, earth, and flesh. You know of what I speak, Gandalf: a great Eye, lidless, wreathed in flame.”

Peter Jackson chose to represent the “eye of Sauron” as a demonic lighthouse, but it’s not that. It’s not merely a concept to show him as a sort of “Big Brother is watching you” type of character, either, nor merely a sigil his soldiers use. It’s a power Sauron has.

In the legendarium, Sauron’s eyes have power, characters become transfixed or even paralyzed by its power. Characters either see Sauron’s true darkness in his eyes, or whatever he wanted them to see (he is a sorcerer, after all). Which is what we saw in Season 1 finale:

Galadriel tries to stab him, and he uses this power on her. And then shows her visions (what he wants her to see).

It’s actually interesting Season 2 of RoP had Sauron using this power on top of towers or balconies, because that’s what he does in the “Lord of the Rings” books. Frodo does see Sauron using this power looking out through windows of the tallest tower of Barad-dûr.

Obsessed with the Elves being constantly deceived by Sauron in all his many guises and Durin taking one look at him and going "fucking fraud"

Has this been done already

The universe has collectively decided that everyone would have folded like a lawn chair for Halbrand. The comments are wild.

I made this while I'm anxiously waiting for the official confirmation that the third season is coming 🙏

[apoloadonisandnarcissus]

We often call RoP Season 2 as “Sauron’s season” but there’s much unaccounted for, especially in episodes 2x06 and 2x07, which means we’ll return to the Battle of Eregion in future seasons.

What sorcery was he perfoming at the end of 2x06, just before Adar starts the attack on Eregion? And why was he doing it in the front gate of the city? Celebrimbor was already in his “mind prision” at this point, so this isn’t connected to that. And he’s combining whatever magic he’s doing with his “eye of Sauron” power.

What sorcery was he doing in 2x07 when Celebrimbor is right there, working on the Nine and already out of the “mind prision”?

Why is he using his “eye of Sauron” power here, as well? What is he seeing? What has his attention more than Celebrimbor finishing the Nine at the back?

Stop 😂😂😂😂

The good elf "accidently became important at work and It's ruining my life" Arondir. Like bro was chilling in the southlands in a badly funded watchtower romancing Bronwyn and all of a sudden an orc army is at his doorstep. Like this placement was supposed to be mundane and suddenly it's the first line of defence against evil. He hasn't had a break since the start of the show it's been blow after blow for him and when things started calming down for a while Bronwyn literally died.

Arondir went from a nobody to chatting with Galadriel, Elrond and High King Gil-Galad about the upcomming war like?? I think he deserves a nice long break, and new clothes while we're at it

"You will never turn me from the light, deceiver " "No, I only offer more power and praise than your light has ever given you.."
