In Udûn, LOTR: The Rings Of Power clears the board with one surprise after another
Yet something doesn’t feel right about all this. It’s all been a little too easy. In fact, this whole season’s been going down a little easy. Galadriel had some early setbacks but was successful, thus far, in bringing the South and the West together against Sauron. Arondir and Bronwyn saved the village and even got to kiss. Númenor won so that Queen Regent Míriel could return as a war hero.
Orcs have long been a major subject of criticism against Tolkien. Given that most adaptations and artwork based on the author’s work featured white Elves, white Hobbits, white Men, and white Dwarves, many saw the Orcs as negative representations of people of color, immigration, and race mixing, among other critiques. Their lack of dimensionality has supported this subtext because there are no Orcs to offer the contrary.
Adar is such a compelling villain, and Joseph Mawle sold these subtle machinations by layering him with contradictions. He’s cold but vulnerable, despondent but idealistic. It’s a fascinating performance that keeps delivering.We’ve made a lot of predictions, all of which have been wrong. This show seems committed to zigging when we expect a zag, and it’s a total relief.
Galadriel’s horse-girl powers turned up in this episode. This Elf is all over the saddle. I will spend the next week impersonating Arondir’s pronunciation of her name. There is no better addition to any scene than a last surviving Orc delivering a crucial bit of information before they die.
