#TROPSpoilers “haha no that isn’t going to happen. Anyway can’t wait for s2 to give us Annatar done PROPERLY like in Shadow of Mordor!”

#TROPSpoilers “giver of gifts beyond the power of kings” - even Galadriel’s still mixing them up.

#TROPSpoilers okay I will shut up about this soon, honestly, and I think Shadow of War Sauron is a boring look and I’d have preferred Gavi, but if they’re seriously going to do it then I’m sorry but this is so funny.

#TROPSpoilers if that's TROP Annatar then you are never going to convince me they're not doing that fake-Celeborn plot.

#TROPspoilers

Here’s what I’ve been hearing. Don’t take it as confirmation, but as rumor.

I have heard no evidence of Celeborn being in Season 2. I believe Calam Lynch is instead very likely to be playing the elven looking Annatar Sauron form, with light hair and white robes.

#TROPSpoilers idk who Calam is playing but yeah he does look like a young version of film Celeborn. However this makes it funnier if he's Sauron, because a) Galadriel... come on, girl and b) Sauron paying close enough attention to Celeborn to mimic him is hot & they should kiss.

#TROPSpoilers 'no I'm NOT saying the current form of the Enemy, Dark Lord Sauron, Gorthaur the Cruel, feared lieutenant of Morgoth, looks like your husband at ALL, Galadriel, it's just... could you get them to wear name-badges or something?'

#TROPSpoilers I was half joking the last time I said this, but seriously - if they do have a Celeborn-looking actor with Celeborn-like hair and costume, playing Annatar, in a plotline where Sauron needs a way to get into Eregion, then, WELL.

#TROPspoilers sorry sorry still imagining Elrond trying to explain the past 800 years to actual Celeborn. 'So Sauron is pretending to be you and now everyone thinks you're sleeping with your wife's cousin...' 'Wait - Sauron? No never mind that, WHICH COUSIN 😱'

There is no way they can fit Tom Bombadil into a plot that's going to be split between the fall of Eregion and a journey into Rhûn. Unless he's living somewhere else than the Old Forest (where? why?) I don't see anyone encountering him. I still think it's misinfo. #TROPspoilers

ivy Cat Yea if this source is true, TROP followed in Peter Jackson's footsteps and ignored Celeborn in S2 too. They won't use a character they haven't cast yet as part of visual storytelling. Look at S1. Sauron didn't shapeshift into Galadriel's dead hubby. #TROPSpoilers

About the CALAM possibly playing Annatar, I have no reason to believe either possible leaks are true, I'm trusting nothing - what happens happens #TROPspoilers

Ojo a esta posibilidad/rumor... La verdad es que Calam Lynch me encaja tanto de Celeborn como de Annatar. Me gustaría ver a ambos personajes en la temporada 2... ¿Será uno u otro? ¿Y si hace el papel de ambos porque Sauron se hace pasar por Celeborn? 🤔🤯 #TROPspoilers

Cat You tagged your thread as #TROPSpoilers and you replied to me trying to get the last word till you decided to quote me at your followers. White women think you're slick.

robertjoscribe Or you keep him in his spot an move Galadriel there on a quest to explore the use of her ring and so build up the theme of a couple in an enclosed realm (she has 3-4 episodes before you have to move her south for the Eregion showdown). #TROPspoilers

ivy Cat hdu Annatar's 24 inch blonde lacefront is trying to look like Celeborn. Sure Sauron never cared to use him against Galadriel in S1 and the show ignored him but TROP values Celeborn's place!!! #TROPSpoilers

Tim Bolton 🐿 | 🏹 Ranatuor of Laurelin 🗡(He/Him) robertjoscribe For now I'm just thinking aloud how Tom could fit into the assumed plot of season 2 while ignoring other questions.

If we get a teacher for the Stranger and Annatar in Eregion, the topic of mentorship is going to be explored. #TROPspoilers

robertjoscribe And you have Elrond who could move east after the healing of the Great Tree to discover the valley of Rivendell (so he later knows where to retreat to) and on his way there stumble over him (with or without Galadriel). #TROPspoilers

robertjoscribe You could put him east of the mountains (next to Ents and Entwifes)
and then hitch him as a kind of guardian angle to the Harfoot bandwagon. But that would severe his special ties to the land he is in LoTR. #TROPspoilers

Tim Bolton 🐿 | 🏹 Ranatuor of Laurelin 🗡(He/Him) robertjoscribe Eregion and Khazad-dum are going to follow the path of the machine (guided by Sauron), so having someone who could teach our other Noldor a better approach to the quest for knowledge would make sense. (But you probably have to dial down the silliness.) #TROPspoilers
