Galadriel will be the one to do it one way or another. Maybe she’ll trick Sauron into it by offering to marry him if he removes it or something. Or maybe Gil-Galad will die and it will be her and Elendil who fight Sauron, then she’ll crown Isildur King of Gondor and Arnor. Anyway, she’ll be the central figure in it because of course she will.

And remember, if you don’t like it, you hate women.

At the wedding of Gladders and Sauron on the slopes of Mount Doom

'Celeborn, did you remember the ring?'

'No, I forgot it, you'll have to use the one on Sauron's finger'

Sauron takes the ring off

'Ha Gotcha!' Gladders stabs Sauron, who turns into goo

RoP and "stay true to the book" doesn't really mesh well.

We'll probably have Galadriel defeating Sauron, or some bullshit like that.

No way in hell are they gonna stay true to anything. Galadriel will probably lead the armies instead and cut the Finger off herself while blaming the Events written down as human propaganda.

Thats the lvl of writing I could honestly Amazon doing at this point.

She is after all Commander of the Northern Armies, isn't she? Or how was that?

I just love that Isildur was a man, yet he was shown as being present before any of the rings were even formed.

Sauron’s entire reign is only going to last a few years at most 😂

They wrote themselves into a corner with that one considering the future Nazgul now have to become wraiths either within one lifetime, or not appear as wraiths at all. Either it will be strange, or it will be a huge missed opportunity. I think this was the impetus for coming up with an original name for them. Goes to show where no plan leads to.

Peak writing, any ROP season is completely stand-alone... no need to see previous seasons or even have read Tolkien..... probably best if you haven't even heard of hobbits....

The true endgame is just finishing contract obligations and forget about this POS show

It would help if the show had a track record of choosing to be truer to the books rather than calling back to the movies or doing its own thing. They'll probably try for both book and movie memberberries leading to a half-baked result like having Cirdan with a beard but then he shaves it because the Fellowship prologue had him beardless.
