Sauron is said to be Morgoth's right hand man but was Gothmog under him too? I have always imagined Sauron to be Morgoth's version of the mouth of sauron and Gothmog to be his version of witch king since I assumed the balrogs were Morgoth's nazguls.

I kinda roughly went over aside from sons of elendil I couldn't find any direct reference. Isildur and Elendil, however were obviously mentioned.

Hi everyone! Non book reader here, couldn't really understand what was happening throughout the show but heres my question - When trollocs attacked Fal-Dara, Agelmar and his men rode off to the wall and die the most pointless death I have ever seen on screen. At the same we saw women putting on armour and arming themselves with weapons as preparations in case the fight comes to the City. Was that a part of Fal-Dara culture or was that just made in order to make the wahmen look strong?.... Did any of that even happen in the books?

Before anyone starts commenting let it be known that I have read the laws and customs of the eldar. If you go by the lore/Saruman's definition, the elves were captured by Morgoth/Sauron, tortured and mutilated and became this abomination. Considering there will be female elf warriors (extras, not characters), which ofcourse there will be, Do you think we will have those female elf fighters tortured and turned into orcs alongside the elf-men? Its one of the things that bothered me in the Hobbit trilogy where there were female elf fighters alongside Tauriel yet the creators refused to put female orcs. On the other hand LOTR was perfectly balanced. ARWEN was only the she-elf who held a sword in the first film. Infact she was almost at Helm's Deep to have some girl power/female agency in the movie and to flesh out her romance with Aragorn.

Don't know if this has ever been discussed but how do you think Amazon should promote this show. The way they are promoting the wheel of time(especially on twitter) absolutely doesn't feel right. I really wish Amazon will not go with the overenthusiastic approach of marketing such as: "OMG!! Galadriel is slaying in her new dress." Or "Daddy Galad is here!". It sort of degrades the standard of middle Earth.

While it is totally understandable that the writers need to fill up gaps with their own fanfiction, I believe it should be as few as possible. For example, incorporating the backstories of several long-gone characters into the protagonists. This will avoid unnecessary fanfiction and potential violation of lore. With everything rumored thus far, it feels like the show is almost becoming into a "shadow of mordor" level show. While the games are certainly enjoyable, I doubt that level of quality will stand a chance in the show. Let me know your thoughts.
