@bre_thil early mayyyyyyy :D

not to be dramatic but reading this passage for the first time was life-changing

@ladyaranise This was my first reaction when I heard the news of this movie - clinging to the glory days lol but he has been good in other recent roles

no one can convince me that Andy Serkis isn't doing this film purely to cling to a good role he had decades ago and can't find anything else lol him and others

But we already knew that

@amaureacosplay Good thing it’s just April Fools😭 we don’t need any remakes from HBO LOL

@bre_thil Please no.. the trilogy is perfect. Sure, they're not 100% accurate to the books. But leave lotr alone, hbo.

Not even in my wildest dreams would I want this lol

today is just a regular day for you if you're a fool of a took

@Dunaidan3019 Can’t ever get your hopes up nowadays lol

I honestly don’t even know what to make of these reports. It’s been on and off for months. Imma wait for an actual announcement/trailer.

@hbartz25 Same 😭

@bre_thil Gonna miss celebrimbor this season

Charles Edwards come back to me 😭

rings of power come back to me

@TeawithTolkien @Andrewnsnyder Yes!

@Andrewnsnyder They already started telling a philosophically and theologically interesting story of orc redemption with Adar in seasons one and two. If they choose to continue that with a new orc character, it could be very compelling. This has been one of TROP’s strengths imo.

So, here's the thing. Tolkien himself struggled over the nature of orcs. Although their orcish existence is inherently wicked, their essence as created beings in Eru's world is good. After all, evil cannot truly create. For this reason, Tolkien seemed to believe that, at least theoretically, an orc could be redeemed, however unlikely. Whether they are corrupted elves, as in the Silmarillion account published by Christopher, or something else, their most basic essence must ultimately come from Eru. Here is what Tolkien says in a a letter to Peter Hastings: "They [orcs] would be Morgoth's greatest Sins, abuses of his highest privilege, and would be creatures begotten of Sin, and naturally bad. (I nearly wrote 'irredeemably bad'; but that would be going too far. Because by accepting or tolerating their making – necessary to their actual existence – even Orcs would become part of the World, which is God's and ultimately good)." With that being said, a philosophically and theologically interesting story could be told of an orc's redemption, but I highly doubt that is what is going on in RoP. If this rumor is true, I predict we'll be getting typical postmodern slop. I want to be wrong, but I would be surprised if I were.

@Alayanabeth @amaureacosplay Hopefully in May like last year 😅🙏

@amaureacosplay Patience. Patience. (I myself am not patient)

so.. will we be getting any rings of power season 3 teaser soon, or..?

Every time someone reposts old @TheRingsofPower posts i keep thinking it’s new content😭 y’all stop getting my hopes up lol
