In an exciting development for fans of “The Rings of Power,” staff writer Rotem Rusak of Nerdist has penned a brief article introducing the latest villain to grace the series in its highly anticipated second season. This new foe is a hill troll named Darmod, whose massive presence that does little to add intrigue and danger narrative.
Rusak’s article references a Twitter post and draws upon a piece by Ben Travis in Empire magazine. The Empire article, with its headline “Inspired By Breaking Bad’s Mike Ehrmantraut,” provides a fascinating look at how Darmod’s character was conceived, highlighting the influence of the iconic TV character Mike Ehrmantraut in shaping this new antagonist. Together, these insights offer a confusing glimpse into the challenges and conflicts awaiting Galadriel in Middle-earth.
Considering the protagonist’s impossibly impressive feat in the opening season, where she single-handedly felled a snow troll in less than two minutes without the assistance of her trusted band of soldiers, one has to wonder just how formidable a challenge a hill troll like Darmod will pose in season two. The brief yet thrilling encounter showcased her remarkable combat skills and resourcefulness of the shows editors, setting a high bar for the threats she might face in the future.
However, Darmod’s introduction, with his character inspired by the cunning and relentless Mike Ehrmantraut from “Breaking Bad,” suggests a more complex and potentially more dangerous adversary. Unlike the snow troll, whose defeat was swift and decisive, Darmod may require a more strategic and prolonged confrontation, testing the writers abilities. This raises intriguing questions about how Galadriel overcome this new menace in a battle of wits and creative editing.
