Omg. I thought for sure that was a guy.

I’m happy that’s not Sauron. Why did we think that was Sauron?

Honestly that's hard to tell that it's a woman. Maybe that's intentional and the character is meant to be nonbinary.


She/He knew it would get casted in this show looking like that. The agents probably tell them to put non-binary on their resume as a sure bet to get the job.

Knee-jerk panic reaction from the "it's gonna suck!" crowd.
And suckers who fall for the marketing ploys.

Someone mentioned, she isn't even listed in the cast. That's because the cast list is mostly leaked names, either people admitting they're in it, or that someone identified from the images.

Regardless of what else there is, you have to admit, if you were making a trailer and wanted to put "crazy evil" in it, and you had that person's images, it's a no-brainer.
If you don't know the story, it's an easy jump to say "that person looks SO fricking crazy and evil, it HAS to be Sauron". WE know, Sauron wasn't supposed to be like that at all, so we say "oh shite!".

Four pages of melting from the usual suspects.

The Green Dragon is well known by Tolkien fans. There was even a song about it by Merry and Pippen in the trilogy.

We have CLEARLY established that I'm not a "real" fan...I'm just a fake fan who read the books and watched the movies...I'll stick with The Prancing Pony and let you unhinged lunatics have The Green Dragon.

If 'hair' is such a major issue for their budget, then this show is fricked beyond reason.

The Prancing Pony is a bit of a shite hole. Not a looker to be found.

At least the Green Dragon had Rosie Cotton.

Probably because some Reddit idiot started a rumor

I can imagine the first season will be a slow buildup of some mysterious evil building back up in Middle Earth with the aid of several of Melkor followers and minions. Before the fall of Numenor, many corrupted men were openly worshipping Morgoth by Sauron’s influence.
