11 - Celembrimbor Is Making Middle Earth Great Again!

Watch Party: Lord of the Rings

“Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.”

We asked, and the people have spoken. Today on Watch Party, we’re taking a break from The Mariner’s Wife to do a deep dive into one of the main characters we will undoubtedly see in #LOTRonPrime - Celebrimbor! Often given a bad rap due to his role making the Rings of Power, we explain that he was just trying to preserve the good old days and Make Middle-Earth Great Again! We are also excited to introduce a couple of new segments: the "One Breath Summary," where we risk our lives trying to summarize Tolkien in one breath, and "What Kids Are Tolkien About," where we feature the always adorable and sometimes surprisingly wise musings small children have about Tolkien. As you can tell, we're having fun with this one.
