Hi Sarah , rings of power is canon to an extent, the characters and the major events are all real events that happened in the books. However there really is not a lot of source material out there to cover the time period and make it into a thorough show. Idk why ppl say it isn’t canon. Most of the content like arondir, halbrand, and Adar are made up characters, but I think the show had to add them since like I said there was not really enough material to use to cover the whole time period. I mean the directors I think only had access to the movies and like some pages from the books. I think a better way to put it is that the shows major events such as the forging of the rings, are canon and should be done by the book, but like with the whole eruption of mount doom, it’s never really mentioned on how they did it , so I think the directors are just adding new content in order to fill in the missing information. Also good thing to know is that the show compresses like 3000yrs into like I’d say maybe like 50 or 60 yrs Anyways awesome reaction as usual!

I really liked this episode! I love it when the Valar are mentioned in the films/shows, so naturally I liked it when that one elf mentioned Yavanna (the Valar of growing things) to Galadrial. He didn't mention her by name, but his description fit Yavanna. Fun fact: Yavanna is the wife of Aulë, the creator of the Dwarves–there's a lot of fun lore there, as to why Dwarves and Elves don't get along. In fact, the reason Adar specified that he was created by the One (Eru Illuvatar, Tolkien's version of God), is because some of the other Valar also created other beings, albeit "inferior." That moment when that old guy turns the sword-key in the rock and all hell—or, all Udûn, breaks loose, triggering the eruption of Mount Doom, is a moment I've been waiting for, and it did not disappoint. That was an impressive scene! I also have to rescind my earlier comments about the orcs. Now that there's an episode where we see a lot of them up close..I gotta say..they look good! This is the first episode that I was literally on the edge of my seat for several scenes. I almost shouted when I thought Bronwyn was going to die.

Yep. The mountains original name was Orodriun, meaning "Mountain of the red flame" in Sindarin. When it erupted, it become Amon Amarth ("hill of doom" or "fate), or Mount Doom. As far as the question of canonicity goes, it depends on how you define "canon." Book, or Tolkien, canon? No, it's not, but sometimes it is. It is canon to that as long as it doesn't contradict what Tolkien wrote. The same goes for Jackson's movies. You could call what differs from Tolkien "cinematic canon," maybe? For instance, in this show, the creators condensed the story a lot whereas in the books, some of the characters didn't even know each other because they lived too far apart.

The main story for this show is based on appendices from the books - mostly, as far as I can tell, from The Return of the King - and some additional story threads and myths extracted from other writings of J.R.R. Tolkien. However, as Delavar Lorica mentions above, the source material is pretty limited - this is complicated even further by Amazon not having the rights to The Silmarillion - so the writers created several new characters - for example the Harfoots are purely a show's creation - changed the name of others, and have exercised a lot leeway in order to fill in the gaps and compress a period that spans 2 to 3 thousand years in the books into maybe 2 to 3 decades in the show (?). BTW, as Tobywan alluded to, the Peter Jackson movies also took a lot of liberties with the original text and changed many things from the books. Many hardcore Tolkien scholars/fans would tell you that they DO NOT consider those movies canon, but that most definitely does not mean that watching them is a waste of time. I personally believe that as long as the movies or the show capture and convey the spirit of Tolkien's writings and properly represent the world he created, calling it canon or not-canon is not that important - Who decides what is canon anyways? 🤔 Does it FEEL right?... Like Gandalf would say: "What does your heart tell you?" 😉

this is what happens when you watch out of order and didn't see the extended versions, you don't understand. the hobbit is before LOTR did you watch that? are you watching this before the hobbit?
