I rewatched this over christmas and it was good imo I've since listened to the Ringerverse podcasts for all 8 episodes, they liked it also, good podcast to follow with those two. And apparently a bunch of season 2 details got leaked, the one ring has a list: https://www.theonering.net/torwp/2024/01/18/117354-spy-report-suggests-an-unhinged-season-2-of-the-rings-of-power/ or it might just be a hoax, who knows! The biggest is that they got either the rights to use stories from the Silmarillion or use expanded parts of the Silmarillion instead of skirting some things or not using specific names as they did in season 1.

On some level I don't mind Galadriel as Invincible Sword Princess but she's also so... dumb all the time.

THAT was the unfathomable eldritch horror in spider-form that was represented by a big-titty Goth girlfriend in the videogame! Ungoliant's human form looks more like Anne Ramsey.

i will continue to defend Sexy Shelob as not being a big deal at all. If Sauron can be a werewolf Shelob can change shape too.

I mean it's one thing if it's transformation. But I guess the way I interpreted the reports of it was that they'd just straight up replaced the giant spider in the cave with a sexy lady, sitting in the dark in like ... a haunted mansion to seduce you on your way through Cirith Ungol (don't tell me if that's what it actually is)

Sexy Shelob is certainly no carbon copy fellowship trailing an hour behind the real fellowship and kills the Watcher or that same fellowship teaming up with Gandalf to kilk the Balrog when it comes to weird video game decisions.

It plays with the story the same way God of War plays with mythology. the game rules.

And I just went...alright. What could this possibly add to the story?

The answer is boners. It adds boners to the story.

the only sexy part of shelob's portrayal is she shows leg sometimes. the only way the game can be interpreted as horny is if you are a 1950s guy who calls them "gams"

It's funny that the cast of that game is in literal shouting distance - and they're ostensibly there to find Boromir - several times but nothing happens. Also the elf likes the main Gondor guy and even kisses him but she says 'wait we can't' and that's it. Thanks for playing. Also you get to fight Sauron at his most searchlight.

What could this possibly add to the story? No, because she's trying to convince the main character that while she's not trustworthy they have aligned goals at the moment. That's harder if you're a giant bloated spider.

Based on how the first season went, a lot of people are going to spend season 2 insisting that the show couldn’t possibly be doing Plot Point X because of how stupid and obvious it would be. The show will then proceed to do it without a hint of irony. This will happen over and over again.

I would watch the show if there was a running gag every episode where Sauron disguises himself as a different celebrity to gently caress with the elves.

Imagine spending ungodly millions to finally license the silmarillion and then once you do tying it to your albatross of an in progress mostly unrelated series. It's so stupid that it becomes plausible.
