I’m not sure where to begin when it comes to breaking down everything wrong with the Season 2 finale offilms, and pales in comparison to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien himself. Cheap, lazy Hollywood writing is to blame. Pretty visuals and a sweeping score cannot cover up all the holes and blemishes. All that glitters is not gold.Since the bulk of this review will be an exercise in skewering all the rubbish showrunners J.D.

Ultimately, he gets the Nine from her, but she hurls herself off a cliff rather than hand over her Ring. I’m not sure about you, but if I was a powerful magical being like Sauron, I might use my powers to float down there and snag it from her corpse, or maybe send my orcs to retrieve it, rather than just go “Oh well, she’s 50 meters down that cliffside, I guess I’ll just go back to Mordor now.”Tesla Billionaire Elon Musk Issues $35 Trillion U.S.

This is a good scene! The story about the arm-wrestling and the father’s revelation to his son were nice and well-written. It’s a shame that nothing else in this entire episode could match this moment. I do wonder, however, if Durin III should have left the ring on his finger for the Balrog fight. Anything to gain an edge. The symbolism of taking it off, and his son seeing that, was effective, but from a purely utilitarian perspective he might have fared better with it on.

Alas, the Stoor village now has a bunch of rocks everywhere.

Adar is also a chump, easily hoodwinked by Sauron who turns the Uruk commander offscreen so that the show’s writers can “surprise” us. It’s not a surprise. This betrayal has been telegraphed far and wide. The only surprise is that Adar was so easily fooled and then stabbed to death. Or that Galadriel, the warrior, stood by and watched her new ally—who had just promised her a forever peace—get stabbed to death and did nothing to intervene, despite being fully capable of slicing up a dozen orcs.
