Considering this is Sauron in the Shadow of Mordor games, there's a certain irony in the game adaption being better than the filmed version. Current year programming is sucking so much it's going to break the "video game adaptions of the movie always suck" trope.
SoM/SoW was always a great game, it was just a god awful adaptation. The Nemesis system to this day is still one of the best entirely "new" gaming inventions of the modern era and I'm hoping it gets used more elsewhere.
It also introduced Celebrimbor to people beyond just book nerds, so this show fucking him up will piss more people off than they think.
I didn't think the first one contradicted the established lore too much (though I'm not a superfan, so I'm sure I missed some stuff), outside the setup for the game, and it was pretty explicitly an alternate timeline from what I recall. The second game contradicted established lore pretty heavily though.
I don't think the first did much, but it was also so insignificant in the grand scheme that it would be hard for it to anyway. No idea about the DLC, as I never got around to it.
The second did to absurd levels, but it also never tried to act like it was more than it was. A power fantasy wearing LotR skin.
And people cried and cried over Sexy Shelob. Now that seems quaint.
motherfucker looks like Sephiroth lmao
more like Chemotherapy Shady
I’m AIDS Shady,
Yes I’m the real Shady,
All you other AIDS Shadiies,
Are just HIV’ing.
So... Super darkness?
No, whiteness.
So is this meant to be a villain in this dumpster fire or a minion, because even by minion standards this is weak.
The Lord of the Rings, hell I'm willing to make the argument, The Hobbit trilogy was cast better than this. This went past a hate watch to a "I'll look up the plot later on Wikipedia if I need to talk about it"
It makes sense as a villain though: nothing obviously wrong yet he looks unpleasant.
A villainous minion.
What's with the tits?
Tranny=Evil.
Nothing about this thing looks like it's from LOTR.
It looks like something out of WOW.
Like mom's spaghetti
Where is Salem's Lot in relation to Middle Earth?
Not watching this TROP.
I've heard from Nerdrotic that that's actually just a Sauron cultist and 'Halbrand' (the guy seen with and seemingly set to enter into a romance with Galadriel in most of the actual marketing for ROP other than all the diversity-centric interviews) will turn out to be Sauron. Even that flies in the face of Tolkien's canon though, since Galadriel was both already married to Celeborn and consistently suspicious of even Sauron-as-Annatar (his angelic 'fair' form) from the very beginning.
