FusRoDah666 As far as I can remember Sauron took Mordor back, when he was forced to left Dol Guldur. That's lore-friendly, or not?

"Adding Blacks and fighting women" Sure, it makes not much sense that Black people are Gondorians and are guarding Minas Ithil (Minas Morgul). We only now from Black people in Harad and I don't know if before Sauron returned the Gondorians and Haradrim had peace... For fighting women I think it would make more sense then Black Gondorians. I mean women from other folks (Rohirrim or Elves for example) also fight, so why shouldn't some Gondorians too? (Atleast I didn't see an army of Black Gondorians and fighting women in the trailer, or did you? And yeah for political Correctness too...)

There are reasons why Talion & Celebrimbor are "mad". Both of them had families which were killed by Sauron and his forces and Celebrimbor also died because of Sauron. Then they also had the ring (not canon and also irritating, but ok) and we know that it corrupts anyone who is wearing it.

Well I agree with you on most parts.

However I can't recall that Sauron claiming back Mordor involved a war with a balrog that would somehow obey Sauron, or a war with even more fighting troops involved than in the actual War of the Ring.

Well problem is that they aimed to display basic gondorian soldiers in the trailer and they put blacks and women in a so obvious way that it seemed like they told us: "Hey, come play this game! We're not racist and Middle-Earth factions are politically correct! Look we even have blacks and women!"

Furthermore women going at war wasn't a thing in Rohan. Eowyn was an acception and she was of royal blood. I doubt a mere woman or farmer would have any kind of importance.

Celebrimbor is supposed to be dead and could not have returned to ME. Only a few elves did. Talion is a simple man. There is no reason for him to be especially mad nor crazy. Many people suffered great pains at war. He came out of nowhere and he's just a random parody of Aragorn, whereas in fact Aragorn would never have behaved like Talion.

Talion is an anti-hero, or the kind of hero you would not have seen in the legendarium. And why would this precise man be chosen by Celebrimbor or be of such great importance?
