Season 3 Rings of Power: Skipping Tolkien’s Darkest Moment?
Following a moderately successful debut, The Rings of Power stepped up its game in season 2. The intricate depiction of Charlie Vickers’ Annatar (Sauron) and Charles Edwards’ elven smith Celebrimbor’s emotionally abusive relationship was particularly noteworthy. Despite the bleak and dismal tone of the season finale for the renowned smith of Eregion, book readers anticipate that Celebrimbor’s fate in the finale could have been even more dire than what was presented. However, with the timeline leap in season 3, this potentially grim outcome might be avoided.
