Nazgûl Or Dead: A Rings Of Power Prediction Game

thegamer.com:

The Rings of Power is currently one big guessing game. I’ve already written about how fans’ reactions feel like we’re playing a big game of Among Us as everyone tries to sus out (pun intended) which Amazon-invented character is really Sauron in disguise.

While some Elves don’t make it into the Lord of the Rings for a variety of reasons, only a handful of the Humans make it. I mean, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of years between The Rings of Power and The Lord of the Rings (although that’s slightly changed by the time compression of the TV series) – you can’t even expect the supermen that are Númenorians to make it that long. As such, I’m playing a game with the Human characters of the show: Nazgûl or dead. I didn’t invent it – that accolade goes to Corey ‘The Tolkien Professor’ Olsen – but I’m enjoying predicting the fates of the show’s humans nonetheless. After episode three, here are my current predictions.

This one’s less of a prediction and more of a ‘we see them die in the prologue to The Lord of the Rings’. Spoilers, I guess. These two just about make it to The Lord of the Rings, but then Elendilf (pun once again intended) dies spectacularly at Sauron’s
