'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' Episode 3: Fans hail Amazon for keeping Orcs 'legitimately terrifying'

The third episode of 'The Rings of Power' gave a detailed look at the Orcs and fans couldn't stop raving about their design

One of the most integral parts of JRR Tolkien’s Middle Earth saga has been the Orcs. They terrify the beings of the region and often wipe out villages to please their master. Peter Jackson’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy did a wonderful job in making viewers realize how horrifying these creatures really are. So, ‘The Rings of Power’ had the responsibility to keep the Orcs as authentic as possible and fortunately, they have done a splendid job in showing how terrifying these Orcs are.

We get to see the creatures for the first time when Arondir (Ismael Cruz Cordova) gets captured by them. They have captured his friends as well and are now forcing them to build a tunnel or a way for the Orcs to reach important places on Middle Earth. In one of the most brutal scenes, an Orc brutally kills one of the Elves/Humans by slitting his throat in front of everyone. On the other hand, they fight the remaining members of the humans/elves tribe and kill one of the closest friends of Arondir as well.

What time will 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' Episode 4 be out on Amazon Prime Video?

These scenes were enough to let everyone know how much effort was put into making these creatures look so scary. Fans responded in the same way and applauded the makers for such an amazing outlook. One of the fans wrote, “The Orcs look amazing in the new Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power show. Fantastic episode!!!” Another fan tweeted, “Also the #TheRingsofPower orcs are legitimately terrifying.” Another fan noted, “Orc Pics gonna spread like wildfire not sorry!!”

“The orcs in #TheRingsOfPower are literally perfect,” wrote another fan. “These orcs look so scary,” said another user. “Why are the orcs so creepy? Honestly big improvement on the trilogy orcs,” tweeted another fan.

The Orcs have already killed two major characters in the series and are already looking like a force to be reckoned with. But things got even more interesting as the episode came to an end as we are about to know who is Adar. Since the beginning of the episode, Orcs were talking about Adar and now Arondir will be presented in front of him. We saw a shadow of the character, but Amazon ended the episode before revealing who he is.

Can’t wait for the next week’s episode to arrive, so that we can get to know more details about the character.
