Rings of Power Season 2: 5 Most Anticipated Storylines to Fix That Season 1 Disaster
It would be an utter pleasure to watch these happen in the upcoming installment.
Just recently, the net was rocked by rumors that Amazon Prime had greenlit season three of its controversial Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power franchise, even though season 2 hadn't even been released yet. The second installment of the series is scheduled for 2024 without any specifics. Fortunately, there have been many leaks that have partially revealed the features of the upcoming season.
Here are five of the most coveted storylines that season 2 of The Rings of Power must feature to make up for the shortcomings of season 1.
5. Isildur's Genesis
One of the most famous characters in all of Middle-earth, the man who made Sauron's demise possible and the one who was corrupted by the ring, Isildur is arguably one of the most important characters in the entire story. The Rings of Power partly follows him in his youth. Hopefully season 2 will continue to explore his arc and we'll see how he becomes the man of legend.
4. The Founding of Gondor
With the journey of Elendil and his people, The Rings of Power must eventually tell the story of the founding of Gondor. Season 2 is perfect for this. It will also bring the prequel in line with the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit franchises.
3. The Construction of Minas Tirith and Minas Morgul
J.R.R. Tolkien's universe features many iconic and grand locations. Minas Tirith and Minas Morgul are undoubtedly the most memorable of these. Since they are located in Gondor, season 2 might as well explore their creation after the realm is established.
2. Sauron's Becoming
The main leak about The Rings of Power concerned Sauron and his appearance in season 2. If we do see him in the upcoming installment, we'll learn more about how he became Middle-earth's greatest evil.
1. The Creation of the Rings
Titled after the artifacts, the Amazon Prime show must delve deeper into the story of the rings' creation to justify its name. Most importantly, it will be most satisfying for fans to watch. Hopefully, the writers will stay faithful to the original story, because this storyline is a minefield.
