Tweet van @nerdoftherings1Tweet van @nerdoftherings1The Nerd of the Rings, for example, said “this shot goes so hard,” in a tweet about the Sauron versus Balrog fight. “While this is original to the show (Sauron & Durin’s Bane face to face) I give them a lot of credit for playing w/ something countless fans have asked: ‘why doesn’t Sauron team up with the Balrog?’
Tweet van @KhaliphaJibreelTweet van @KhaliphaJibreelShould the Balrog even be active in the Second Age? Some think not, because it doesn’t make sense in the timeline Tolkien established. Durin's Bane is the name given to the Balrog that hid deep below the Dwarven kingdom of Khazad-dûm, the very same we see in The Fellowship of the Ring. Has Durin's Bane gone for a little walk to stretch his legs mid-hibernation? Even horrible monsters need to get away from their desk every now and then.
Tweet van @LordDurdenTweet van @LordDurdenAnd how about comparing power sets? By pitting the Balrog against Sauron, The Rings of Power will make a call on how powerful the two beings are, which isn't something Tolkien ever did. Who would win in a fight between the Balrog and Sauron has been discussed by fans for years. Amazon is about to at least try to answer this question.
