Incensed The Lord of the Rings fans are spamming Amazon's The Rings of Power trailer, but what does the quote they are using mean? First released on February 13th, 2022, via a Super Bowl commercial, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power teaser trailer has amassed over 17 million views on YouTube in the first two days since its initial upload.

Set for a September 2nd, 2022 release date, The Rings of Power focuses primarily on the Second Age of Middle Earth, over 2,500 years before Frodo (Elijah Wood) and the Fellowship set off on their perilous quest from Rivendell.
