The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power Release Date With Teaser Trailer; Fans Upset Over Costume Design

The official teaser trailer for The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power just dropped a couple days ago, with the release date for the season confirmed to be August 29th. While many fans are happy, just as many seem upset with some of the costume design choices.

In a press note by Amazon MGM studios, they talked about how the previous season of 'Rings of Power' was one of their most popular and profitable series till date, driving more Prime subscriptions to their streaming service than any other content they've released so far.

In celebration of that fact, they released the trailer which showed off the re-emergence of Sauron, the potential conflicts taking place between several key players in the story, as well as the creation of more rings.

In the press release, Amazon studios wrote, "In Season Two of The Rings of Power, Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without army or ally, the rising Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will. Building on Season One's epic scope and ambition, the new season plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity. Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots... as friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all... each other."

The fans online seem to be pretty divided Some are showing support for the series.

Need to re-watch LOTR Rings of Power season 1 before season 2 is released. I love this franchise.

First time seeing some pics of the elves in The Rings of Power and I gotta say…

The Elves of the 3rd age really set a bar that the 2nd age elves did not meet

In my opinion, your elves shouldnt look like old Bilbo or half the cast of a BBC special on British royalty pic.twitter.com/3z6lA3z9fT

It remains to be seen how Amazon MGM studios will address these issues as they only have around three months until the release of the series.
