I missed that video but I'll check it out. Indy looked good to me but yeah might be too big of an ask. But yeah, maybe with his facial hair back, a jet black bottle of Just For Men, a little bit of a tan, and makeup he could pull it off. It’s on the last page, the one with me in the black Force Awakens shirt. 😊

Second trailer is out, definitely better than the first

That looks decent. Cool to see Tom Bombadil, if that's who the guy was talking to maybe-Gandalf.
Elrond looks like he'll have a lot to do this season. Elendil, for a guy Aragorn uses as his battle cry, doesn't seem like he's up to much.

Elendil, for a guy Aragorn uses as his battle cry, doesn't seem like he's up to much. Tom’s a lot more somber here compared to his chapter in LOTR and the poems. They do need to ramp up Elendil’s part soon. The war between Sauron and the elves will be towards the end of the season, so by next season he’s got to be a prominent figure to counter balance Pharazon. I don’t think they’ll concentrate too much on that this season if this is more representative of what’ll take place. They have to deal with getting Isildur back (that’s a wasted plot line we know can only end one way). But at least you get a sense of a story and some dramatic tension rather than a series of random images like the first one. Whether they’ll be able to piece the story together coherently, we’ll have to see. I think I got a sense of how they’ll handle the whole Halbrand-Annatar issue they created for themselves but it may just be the way they edited the shots together.

Just dawned on me, where the hell is the trailer for War of the Rhohirrim? They didn’t even show one at SDCC, just some random footage. It took forever for Amazon to put out their trailers, does anyone have any confidence in their product?

Yeah, I'm going to watch this, but only because it's Lord of the Rings and there's very few fantasy shows on these days. Like I said, the first season was better than it had any right to be and that was because of the cast (as much as I disagree with the forced diversity being brought to Middle Earth), they did a pretty good job bringing the lackluster writing to life. The other high point was the music. We'll see how this goes, but I don't have high hopes. I'm interested to see if we will get to see any Barrow Wights and the like given Tom is making an appearance.

The “Avengers” scene is likely where the Barrow Wights are appearing.

Ramping up the PR finally.
They are REALLY trying to make this NOT like last season.

Ramping up the PR finally. They are REALLY trying to make this NOT like last season. Jeez. This show looks so damn good, cinematic quality effects and sets! But hopefully the storylines will improve from last season. Did I spot a Christopher Lee Saruman lookalike in there? With a bit of black in his hair? This seems very elf heavy, a dwarf here and there but what of the humans of Numenor? Where is freaking Elendil? I think we are going to see some very powerful, broken magic this season. I get Prime for the free shipping anyway, might as well watch some fantasy on Sunday nights without ant ASOIAF material in the immediate future.

Supposedly Ciaran Hinds is the Saruman lookalike, which opens a whole “nuther can of worms. There’s not supposed to be ONE wizard in the Second Age, now there’s two?

80s characters in a ‘50s’ film, they’re stuck in a bit of a rut with the software. 🤔

They’re really playing up the Peter Jackson part of this Smart on their part. But this looks like an anime Red Sonja film to me. We better see Helm in plenty of action.
