There's a noticible lack of Elven circlets in S1. Will Brimby and the smiths forge them as well on S2 as supplement to the Three?1yr ⋅ GlutenFreeLembas ⋅ r/LOTR_on_Prime
There are some irked by Numenor's vibrant production design palette. I tried putting the 'medieval filter' for comparison, for those who wants a more muted subdued tone. Which is better? I was once a proponent of the muted gritty grading, but the opulent vibrant palette has grown on me actually!1yr ⋅ GlutenFreeLembas ⋅ r/LOTR_on_Prime
A lot can indeed happen in post-production, they've added Ents! Here's the same frame on the Superbowl teaser1yr ⋅ GlutenFreeLembas ⋅ r/LOTR_on_Prime
One Prologue to Rule Them All: Is Amazon pushing the Dagor Bragollach as a worthy contender to the Last Alliance prologue's caliber? The show's access to Balrogs & (potentially) Glaurung (from the leaked mural) seem to indicate the sheer-scale of this scene. (Cool, err blazing art by JovanDarkArt!)2yr ⋅ GlutenFreeLembas ⋅ r/LOTR_on_Prime
Galadriel in Full High Elven Armor? If Amazon indeed treads this path, hope they had a peek at Cate Blanchett's Tilbury Speech performance in Elizabeth (Oh Cate, how I really wish you could have another shot donning this Galadriel in any ME adaptation, but I'm sure Morfydd will pull it off as well)2yr ⋅ GlutenFreeLembas ⋅ r/LOTR_on_Prime
People are too fixated with the warrior Galadriel costume when we have this existing regal photo. Love the detailed leaf motif used, which seem to be an intentional shift from Blanchetts'. Even the elven crown's aesthetic is different. Hope this look is included on the next trailer!2yr ⋅ GlutenFreeLembas ⋅ r/LOTR_on_Prime
Almost 3 years after this very first tweet, how's your relationship status with the show? Still hyped! Missing those times in 2019 where there was a unanimous untainted glee from fans discovering the subsequent Ring-verse tweets and Second Age map reveals. What a rollercoaster ride it has been!2yr ⋅ GlutenFreeLembas ⋅ r/LOTR_on_Prime
So Weta Digital is also officially part of the VFX team. Are they spearheading the entire series VFX together with the other effects production houses? Was wondering up to what extent their involvement is on the show given that Jason Smith was hired as the Senior VFX Supervisor2yr ⋅ GlutenFreeLembas ⋅ r/LOTR_on_Prime
On RoP's secrecy: ...you will be glad you knew so little when you see it. - Benjamin Walker, Collider interview, June 2021. In hindsight, tried recapping the official crumbs we had so far via Google trends - really not bad at all marketing wise, should peak again by July's full trailer!2yr ⋅ GlutenFreeLembas ⋅ r/LOTR_on_Prime
In hindsight: Seeing HoTD's marketing strat, I wonder why Amazon hasn't released a single STRIKING teaser poster for the series in general. The torso posters are more like character teasers, and not an awe-inspiring take like the Argonath poster for FotR. Made the announcement pic in poster format:2yr ⋅ GlutenFreeLembas ⋅ r/LOTR_on_Prime
...Struggling for survival on a raft in the storm-swept Sundering Seas - What happened in here? What caused the wreckage? A War of Wrath-aftermath might be a reach, but what do you think triggered this event for this two characters' fate to intertwine?2yr ⋅ GlutenFreeLembas ⋅ r/LOTR_on_Prime
Seeing the bigger picture: We are in for half a decade of Second Age voyage! (Made this rough timeline and episode-count estimate for ROP) S1 E1 Shadow of The Past is the nearest official episode info we have so far. Boarded this train since 2017!2yr ⋅ GlutenFreeLembas ⋅ r/LOTR_on_Prime

It is saddening that the dedication and camaraderie behind this show is being overlooked. Say it out loud against the halls of Khazad-dum, Disa!2yr ⋅ GlutenFreeLembas ⋅ r/LOTR_on_Prime
Future-proofing: For those still having doubts about Morfydd and Robert being 'too young' for their parts. Makes sense as we could be on a 10-year journey until the Final Season airs, by then they are 42 and 39, mirroring the maturity and wisdom of Galadriel and Elrond we know on the OGs2yr ⋅ GlutenFreeLembas ⋅ r/LOTR_on_Prime
There's more to the wide shot - details up close! Loving the production design and costumes for Lindon! (Thanks u/DoctorZi for pointing this new official episodic still)2yr ⋅ GlutenFreeLembas ⋅ r/LOTR_on_Prime
