Saya Telah Membaca Karya-karya Tolkien selama 30 Tahun, Begini Kualitas Musim 2 ‘Rings of Power’

Season 2 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is coming to a close on Prime Video, with just two episodes remaining. This show not only expands on the world of Middle-earth from the books and films but also introduces those unfamiliar with J.R.R. Tolkien’s works to the events that occurred before Sauron became the iconic flaming eye. Unlike the film adaptations by Peter Jackson, The Rings of Power takes creative liberties with the story, filling in gaps left by Tolkien and his family.

In the first season, showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay made adjustments to the story based on extensive research and consultation with Tolkien scholars. Due to restrictions on using the full Tolkien legendarium, the show has to make changes to certain elements. This article will continue to analyze each episode to distinguish between Tolkien’s original lore and the show’s additions or alterations.

The latest episodes delve into the Elves and Dwarves, setting up the stakes as Sauron’s influence spreads. The show introduces new characters and storylines, such as the forging of Elven rings and the journey to the distant land of Rhun. These additions provide a fresh perspective on Middle-earth, expanding on the existing lore while staying true to Tolkien’s world-building.

As the season progresses, viewers can expect more surprises and deviations from the source material, adding layers to the rich tapestry of Middle-earth. The show’s creators are taking risks in reimagining Tolkien’s work, and it remains to be seen how fans will react to these changes.
