There’s some dark foreshadowing in The Rings of Power that you probably missed – and it might be a callback to a gruesome scene from The Lord of the Rings

💞The Rings of Power season 🉐2 episode 3 has a creepy bit of foreshadowing that you might have missed – and we cannot stop thinking about it.

In episode 3, ꦇthere's a quick scene where Isildur comes across a lake or river of some𓂃 kind and reaches down to get a drink. He stops, however, because there's a dead body staring back at him. 

.

quickly cleared up why it would be impossible to see the Dead Marshes show up so early on The Rings of Power, and why this is most likely just foreshadowing Isildur's fꦰate: "The Dead Marshes are a result of the Battle of Dagorlad, which doesn't happen until the War of the Last Alliance🍌, which we won't see until S5 of this show."

Plus, we're pretty sure that what Elanor Brandyfoot walks through in episode 5 is known as the Grey Marshes – and is actually the land that will become the Dead Marshes after the Battle of Dagorlad. Even still, the showrunners love an Easter e✱gg – and it's quite possible that the body in the water was meant to evoke The Two🌄 Towers as a treat for eagle-eyed Tolkien nerds (like myself).
