The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has teased a unique new character for season 2, and this makes me even more excited that the show has taken a fresh approach to its villains. Of course, the Prime Video series has faced a lot of backlash for its various changes to the way J.R.R. Tolkien (or Peter Jackson) typically did things. However, some changes, especially those including character perspectives that Lord of the Rings fans have never gotten before, can be highly valuable to the overarching story. In the case of Rings of Power season 2, this will be reflected in the opposing army.
