News culture This character from The Rings of Power dies tragically in Season 2: his mysterious return in Season 3 won’t be a pretty sight!
The second season of Rings of Power brings us some surprises, including the death of an important character who could still return in the third season.
Summary
- A tragic fate and death
- A macabre return
A tragic fate and death
Although Celebrimbor’s death was predictable for those familiar with Tolkien’s work, it still remains a pivotal moment in The Rings of Power. Manipulated by the cunning of Sauron, the great elven blacksmith was forced to craft the Rings of Power, those evil artifacts that will determine the fate of Middle-earth. His brutal and unjustified murder is the tragic result of this manipulation.
However, the shadow of Celebrimbor will continue to hover over the series. The rings he forged so reluctantly become tools of his revenge after his death. In fact, Celebrimbor’s final words, in which he predicts the downfall of Sauron thanks to his own creations, sound like a dire prophecy that will surely come true. Although physically absent, Celebrimbor will remain a central figure whose toxic legacy will influence the course of events to come. Well, absent is a way of talking!
A macabre return
For those familiar with Tolkien’s original work, after the siege of Eregion, Sauron, in an unprecedented act of cruelty, displays the mutilated body of Celebrimbor as a macabre trophy on a standard. This horrific spectacle designed to terrorize the elves could well appear in Rings of Power Season 3. A dark and unforgettable scene, typical of Tolkien’s universe.
Season 2 of Rings of Power has already begun with this tragic vision of Celebrimbor. Tortured by Sauron, riddled with arrows and raised as a grisly trophy, his dark fate is a dark perversion of what Tolkien described. This gruesome death, particularly cruelly staged, is all the more impressive because the series delves deeper into the complex relationship between the two characters.
It remains to be seen what season 3 has in store for us. As a reminder, the first two seasons of Rings of Power are available in full on the SVOD Prime Video platform.
