As the show gear up for awards time of year consideration , ScreenRantinterviewed Morfydd Clark and Charlie Vickers to discussThe Lord of the Rings : The Rings of Powerseason 2 , Galadriel and Sauron ’s epic climactic fight and what the outcome mean for the two going forward , why Elrond kissing Galadriel may not be as amorous as audiences think , and how Sauron find about the Uruk destroying Celebrimbor ’s work .
Clark Was Both Thrilled & Surprised By Elrond And Galadriel’s Kiss
“…I kind of wanted the Elves kissing on the mouth all the time from the very beginning.”
ScreenRant : It is swell to chaffer with you both again and dive more into spoiler for this time of year , because God , there was so much to talk about inLord of the Rings : The Rings of Powerseason 2 . Morfydd , I ’d care to turn over to you first . One of the big surprise was seeingGaladriel and Elrond kiss . I always kind of look at them as a kind of unrequited love dynamic on Elrond ’s part . Do you feel that maybe Galadriel reciprocates that horse sense of affection , or do you guess that she ’s just as surprised as the interview are ?
Morfydd Clark : Well , I kind of need the elves kissing on the mouth all the prison term from the very beginning . I kind of see it as an ultimate show of passion and admiration , but in a platonic way . And I quite like that . It was kind of feel , to us as humans , quite similar , " [ Gasps ] It ’s quixotic . " I quite like the idea that the elves do move through the world quite differently , and kind of a short scrap Bohemian . But when I read it , I was like , " [ Gasps ] Ooh . "
But I also think that this idea that romantic dear is the greatest , most significant form of love is n’t something that I inevitably kind of — it ’s wonderful , but there are also so many different type of love , and the love that Elrond and Galadriel have for each other , which is millennia long and filled with respect and commitment and admiration , is something that I opine is so beautiful .
Set in the Second Age of Middle-earth, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power explores the forging of the iconic rings, the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron, and the epic events leading up to the stories in J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic novels. The series chronicles the creation of legendary characters and the historic alliances and rivalries that shape the fate of Middle-earth.
Sauron Is Okay With The Destruction Of Celebrimbor’s Work For A Key Reason
“…as we know, there is another ring that he needs to make.”
Charlie , I ’ll turn it to you next . Last we talked , we mentioned Celebrimbor ’s death , and Sauron being very sad over it . We also see the Uruk destruct all of Celebrimbor ’s works , and since Sauron is trying to build these Rings to cook the Earth , how do you think he ’s proceed to view the Uruk now that they have wiped out his substance of doing so ?
Charlie Vickers : I think that them destroying the books , I see that more as them destroying a fate of Elven lore and honest-to-goodness scriptures and stuff . I think Sauron does n’t listen about that so much , because although he hump center - ground , he detest the Elves , and I think they could be pass over from the face of the earth , as far as he ’s have-to doe with . But I think that him being a maiar , anything that he ’s learned from Celebrimbor , he still holds very dear , and it ’s there now .
I think that a lot of that was very crucial information that he need , because , as we cognize , there is another ring that he need to make . And I think that his body of work with Celebrimbor believably inform a muckle of the outgrowth that he postulate to undertake to make the next ring . But I think we ’ve visualise a gradual [ onward motion ] , the means it ’s kind of been presented is that he ’s putting more and more of himself into each tintinnabulation as he makes them . And you would recollect that a lot of himself has to go into the next one .
Galadriel Will Always Have “A Little Shadow On Her Heart Of All The Guilt” From Her Actions
“…I feel it’s this big new chapter…”
Morfydd , I ’ll sour back to you , because I also loved in the finish that we see the early day of Rivendell as the Elves make it there , and it is a very beautiful and bright moment for the consultation . But for Galadriel , I ’m certain she ’s still dealing with a lot of the trauma of having defend Sauron again and lose the Nine Rings . What do you consider is move through her nous as they make their way of life to Rivendell ? Do you think she has that same signified of Leslie Townes Hope that the audience might , or do you think she ’s still carrying some of that guilt feelings from what we just see ?
Morfydd Clark : Yeah , I suppose she ’ll always dribble the kind of [ guilt trip ] , there ’s lead to be a little vestige on her pith of all the guilt of what she did . But I think , in that decision where she decide the door is shut to Sauron , and she jumps from that drop , she ’s ready to kind of commit herself to care and get laid and hoping . So , I feel it ’s this magnanimous new chapter to where she ’s kind of becoming so much closer to the Lady of Light that we know , which is the thing that will separate her from Sauron , and mean that no matter how much he reaches and grope for her , she is untouchable . I think she ’s very inspired by those around her in a path that she was n’t before she ’d mislay her power to be inspired .
Sauron Will “Be More Emboldened” By Severing Ties From Galadriel
“…he’s getting closer and closer to being at his peak power.”
I see I ’ve got time for one more question , so Charlie , I ’ll turn back to you . We screw thatSauron has gotten the Uruk back under his knock , in a sensory faculty , how do you suppose he ’s going to be go into this next time of year now that he ca n’t really pull wires Galadriel like he used to do ? Do you cerebrate he ’s going to be feel more emboldened , or you think he ’s going to be a little aimless , in a signified ?
Charlie Vickers : I remember he ’ll be more emboldened . I think in the sense that he ’s catch near , if you look at his business leader on a chart , he ’s getting nigh and closer to being at his peak world power . I think we could get a form , or a reading , of Sauron where he is Sauron the Terrible , like he is at his most mighty externally , at least . Because , I do n’t know , Tolkien was n’t very specific about the shape that he took when he live to Númenor , but there ’s a whole clustering of psychological stuff there , interplay between him and Pharazôn . But I mean that ’s a second further down the argumentation , in terms of our show . I call up he is on a vendetta against the imp .
Morfydd Clark : And he hates bound , so he ’ll bear on to advertize them . [ Chuckles ]
Charlie Vickers : Yeah , exactly . He ’s a bit forward - thought . He ’s a bit ahead of his meter .
