The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 3 will be the show's last chance to fix a frustrating problem with Galadriel's character. The Prime Video series is our first TV adaptation of Tolkien's Second Age, so it makes some sense that this series feels significantly different from past Lord of the Rings movies. This version of Galadriel is intended to be thousands of years younger than she was in Peter Jackson's films, and although she's powerful, it's in a rather distinct way. Galadriel's strength and abilities aren't the Rings of Power's problem, however. 445710

The Lord of the Rings movies cut one critical scene, and Rings of Power season 3 could revive it. Author J.R.R. Tolkien wrote and released his masterwork, The Lord of the Rings, in three parts between 1954 and 1955. To his credit, Peter Jackson adapted these movies brilliantly, despite having to cut a lot of the novel's content. Although Jackson's movies are set in the Third Age and Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is set in the Second Age, the show may make up for some of the trilogy's cut material.

I was worried about The Rings of Powerafter The Wheel of Time's cancellation, but a recent update looks very promising. The Wheel of Time's premature finish after three seasons came as a shock to Prime Video subscribers who were beginning to enjoy the show, with the third season receiving exceedingly positive reviews. The Rings of Power has followed a similar path on the same service, adapting a beloved epic fantasy author's work and eliciting widely divisive responses after its premiere season.

Rings of Power is headed into a new story with season 3, and this could be the perfect chance to clear up a confusing change made to Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies. So far, the Prime Video series has used its existing two seasons to explore a variety of settings across Middle-earth, especially those that no longer exist in the Third Age. In season 2, we saw the fall of Eregion, a great Elven city governed by Celebrimbor. The destruction of Khazad-dum and Numenor will be a much slower burn, but it looks likely that the island kingdom will be front and center in season 3.

Sauron is all set up for another bromance in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 3, and I'm wondering if this could lead to the return of a character Peter Jackson cut. Last season, Prime Video's version of Sauron got his talons into Celebrimbor, and the duo set to work creating the Rings of Power together. This required a great deal of flattery from the Dark Lord. He seduced and manipulated the elf craftsman, making him feel special and appreciated. Celebrimbor was so swept off his feet in Rings of Power season 2 that he didn't see he was being played until it was too late.

I believe that Rings of Powercutting a particular Lord of the Rings character was the right choice, but he must be brought back for the season 3. The Prime Video series has been heavily criticized for its various changes to Tolkien's work, and I agree that some of these adjustments were taken too far. Some felt lazy, while others I found to be completely silly. However, in some cases, I can see what Rings of Power was going for. If a big change adds something to a character's personal development, it's worth at least entertaining for a time.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2 felt like an entirely different genre than the show's previous installment, and it's important that this continues into season 3. The Prime Video series used its first season to depict its version of what the Second Age of Middle-earth looked like before Sauron's return, but season 2 provided a look at the Dark Lord's steady ascent. Now, going into Rings of Power season 3, Sauron is only growing stronger, which means things in this fantasy world must look even more sinister. Still, there should always be a key exception in The Lord of the Rings.

Amazon Prime announced the cancellation of one of its major fantasy shows, making me worried for the future of The Rings of Power. Amazon’s Tolkien adaptation has been divisive, to say the least, with mixed reviews on its first season and a moderate improvement on the second. Regardless, Rings of Power season 3 is underway, with years ing following the events we saw at Eregion, on Númenor, and in the Southlands, offering a compelling time skip to look forward to, changing the show’s dynamics.

Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power could have been so much more than it is, but a failed Lord of the Rings movie is a great example of why things turned out differently. For years, Tolkien fans hoped and prayed for a screen adaptation covering the earlier ages of Middle-earth, since this is when the true bulk of this fantasy world's timeline took place. This naturally made the announcement for The Rings of Power rather exciting, since it would cover Sauron's initial rise to power in the Second Age. Unfortunately, not everything about the series has been as hoped.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 1 attracted over 150 million global viewers, but there are still some harsh realities to rewatching it two and a half years later. The Rings of Power season 1 ending dropped the bombshell of one of the season's main characters - Halbrand - actually being Sauron. This very character is exactly who the season's other main character, Galadriel, had been looking for the whole season. It was controversial for many reasons, creating complex flaws more evident on a rewatch than they may have been on the first watch.
