The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power S2E1 | Sauron is Evil Personified

Disclaimer: I am watching Season 2 without prior knowledge of Season 1. If I like this season enough, I will watch Season 1.

Forodwaith

These orcs look so barbaric.

Sauron is so evil.

Did he have to butcher that orc like that?

I had a feeling that mixed-specie-looking orc would stab Sauron. The crown looked like a weapon.

Sauron is so powerful. They were stabbing him and he is fighting them like it’s nothing.
The orcs were relentless though and they were able to kill him.

Adar is the name of the mixed-specie-looking orc.

What on earth just happened? Did Sauron cause winter?

All that is left are his clothes on the floor. The body disappeared. His blood flowed and dropped inside the puddle of water.

A rat is moving around the puddle.

He’s going to eat the rat.

Nyama!

He ate the rat in the most disgusting way.
Sauron is just consuming everything.

A woman is driving her carriage past the huge glob of blood that is Sauron.

This woman is going to die.
I fucking knew it!

After eating her, the blood transformed into a man.

Sauron and the old man

Sauron was walking on his own and one old man told him not to go where he is going.

Papa, stop talking to that man. He would eat you!

The old man said going that way is like chasing death.

Let him chase death. He is evil.

Jesus, they allowed him to follow them.

This old man is way too good.

You see?! Look at!

The old man was pinned down by a log of wood and begged Sauron for help. The motherfucker stole old man’s emblem and refused to help him.

Sauron jumped into the sea. The sea creature that made the boat capsize is about to eat Sauron.

Poor thing doesn’t know Sauron would eat it.

Oh, Sauron didn’t eat it but he looked at the sea creature and it swam away.

Elrond, Galadriel and The High King

Elrond wants the ring to be destroyed. He doesn’t trust the High King with the rings.

I bet he is going to throw the ring the in the ocean.

He didn’t. He jumped instead.

I don’t get it? Does he plan on going to Mordor alone to destroy it?

Sauron in Mordor

Sauron allowed the orcs to capture him and take him to Mordor.

Why?

The Wizard and Nori

Who is this person with the skeleton mask that is trailing the Wizard and Nori?

Nori says she is hungry but she has fruits on her head as a headband.

Girl, reach up and feed yourself.

When Nori said

We are going to eat for days.

I did not expect to see bugs.

Sauron in Mordor

Why is that bone so big?

What type of meat is that?

Wizard / Elrond / Sauron

I don’t understand what is going on with the Wizard, Nori and the other girl. What is their story about?

Elrond shouldn’t have trusted that man with the ring. Now he has worn it and given it to the High King and Galadriel to wear.

Hmm, they wore the rings and the trees began to blossom. Everywhere is so beautiful.

Is it that when the rings are worn by those with a pure heart, good things happen?

Sauron was able to convince Adar to let him go. What is the plan?

Outro

I was confused… A LOT which is understandable because I didn’t watch the first season. I chose to lean on my knowledge from the Peter Jackson trilogy and from what I have seen so far, this series is about the opening scenes of Peter Jackson’s The Fellowship of the Rings.
