4The Rings Of Power Season 2 Must Explore Celebrimbor’s Most Fatal Flaw
Celebrimbor Wasn’t Perfect
It was not just science as a smith that ran in Celebrimbor ’s family , but Noldor superbia , and all the difficulty that add up with it . Celebrimbor was heritor to a crashing chronicle . Fëanor ’s vehement sideline of his fall behind Silmarils was taken up by his son , one of whom sire Celebrimbor . Fëanor was a controversial Elf inThe Silmarillion , to say the least , so thestatue glorifying Fëanor inRings of Powerseason 2may be near the smithy , where it would be most relevant and least offensive . Celebrimbor was not without a dose of Noldor pride himself . As Tolkien explain :
Sauron had … fortune with the Noldor of Eregion and especially with Celebrimbor , who desired in his warmness to rival the acquirement and fame of Fëanor .
It is exactly this desire for family honor and glory , as outlined in Tolkien’sUnfinished Tales , that will be the undoing of Celebrimbor , just as it was with Fëanor and his sons . gang of Power’sCelebrimbor is vulnerable to Sauron ’s machinationsdue to this desire , and time of year 2 will cover Sauron ’s " temptation , use , and corruption " of Celebrimbor into the Elf that seals the destiny of Middle - earth by making the Rings of Power ( viaTotal Film ) . However , it is unsure if the show ’s version of Celebrimbor will keep an eye on his dour path all the way to its canonical terminal .
The Lord of the Rings : The Rings of Power will transfer up Galadriel ’s role , supervene upon her with another character and fixing a job with season 1 .
3Sauron And Celebrimbor’s Relationship Will Be Vital In The Rings Of Power Season 2
Temptation, Manipulation, And Corruption Abound
Showrunners tell toTotal Filmthat time of year 2 will be more " personal and psychological , " portraying " arguably the central relationship of the time of year , between Sauron and Celebrimbor . " Sauron ’s enticement of Galadriel fail inThe Rings of Powerseason 1 last , so it makes sentiency thatCelebrimbor will ill-treat into Galadriel ’s shoes as the focus of season 2 , as Sauron will have to shift his attentions to Celebrimbor . What Sauron was trying to achieve in tempting Galadriel , according to Sauron actor Charlie Vickers inDen of Geek , is what he will achieve with Celebrimbor :
He think with her , he can affect his designs more quickly . With her by his side , he has the ear of the Elves , he has a mode in .
According to one tale in Tolkien ’s body of work , apocryphal by virtue of being unpublished by Tolkien in his lifetime , Sauron ’s use of Celebrimbor and the Eregion smiths was " sour in clandestine , unknown to Galadriel , " which may transpire in the show . To deceive Celebrimbor in time of year 2,Sauron will embrace his fair form from the books , since his Halbrand book binding was blown . It ’s unclear whether the show will address the similarity between the disguises , but producer Lindsey Weber confirmed in anEmpireprint exclusive thatSauron will be " becoming besties with the worryingly pliant Celebrimbor"in this disguise .
2Celebrimbor’s Role In The War Of The Elves And Sauron
Celebrimbor Was A Catalyst For The War
InThe Silmarillion , it was Celebrimbor ’s forging of the three Elven rings that precipitate Sauron ’s warfare against the Elves . After Sauron spirt the last and greatest of the Rings of Power , the One Ring , he learned of the other rings through the One Ring ’s connection to them . He demanded they be handed over but the Elves refuse , and " From that time warfare never ceased between Sauron and the Elves ; and Eregion was laid waste . " Celebrimbor ’s use in an unpublished version of events inUnfinished Taleswas even more significant :
Before foresightful Sauron had the Gwaith - i - Mírdain under his influence … So great became his hold on the Mírdain that at length he persuaded them to revolt against Galadriel … and to seize tycoon in Eregion … Galadriel thereupon leave Eregion … Now Celebrimbor was not corrupted in heart or organized religion , but had accepted Sauron as what he posed to be ; and when at length he discovered the world of the One Ring , he revolted against Sauron … When Sauron take of the repentance and revolt of Celebrimbor … his wrath was revealed ; and gathering a great force he … made at once for Eregion .
This would be a dramatic play of events indeed forThe Rings of Powerseason 2.Celebrimbor ’s loss of confidence in Galadriel and his turning away from her toward Sauron sounds just like a " declination into fury " , which is how showrunners trace Celebrimbor ’s journey in time of year 2 toTotal Film . This would make Galadriel ’s option to withhold Sauron ’s identity in season 1 , before Celebrimbor ’s madness took hold , yet more ruinous , as her warnings would precipitate on deaf ears here . Sauron ’s wearing away of Celebrimbor ’s genial faculties may also explain why his disguise act . Either way , Sauron ’s war will come to Eregion .
The Lord of the Rings : The Rings of Power season 2 may be following this Hollywood style but will need to put its own spin on it for it to work .
1Celebrimbor’s Tragic Death Could Happen In The Rings Of Power Season 2
Celebrimbor Came To An Untimely Death
" Eregion was laid wasteland , andCelebrimbor slain " were the parole used inThe Silmarillionof Celebrimbor ’s prematurely deathat the hands of Sauron in his warfare against the Elves , butUnfinished Talesprovided more detail . In a muster Tolkien never published while alert , Sauron " turn … to battle … carry as a streamer Celebrimbor ’s organic structure hung upon a magnetic pole , shot through with Orc - arrow . " This rather fast-growing response on Sauron ’s part to Celebrimbor refusing to give up the Elven rings could be one of the " very dark and quite trigger-happy moments " promised by director Charlotte Brändström toEmpirefor season 2 ’s conflict .
Charles Edwards ' performance as Celebrimbor had the nicety to depict an challenging Elf drive to an unhealthy obsession in his trade . It would be a pity to see him leaveThe Lord of the Rings : The Rings of Power , but Celebrimbor ’s death was a butcherly moment from lore that would makeGame of Thrones’Red Wedding flavor like prom Nox . Perhaps Celebrimbor ’s death is the shock moment that the show needsto help constitute itself as an uncompromising narrator of Tolkien ’s tales . With or without the " banner " element , Celebrimbor ’s death would ensure a faithful adaptation of Tolkien ’s doomed Noldorin Elf .
