The scoop from Fellowship of Fans contains multiple details regarding the type of violent encounters we can expect in Season 2. One part references a fight between Robert Aramayo's Elrond (that's right, we should be getting warrior Elrond this season) and two Orc leaders. The leak reads, "There will be a cool battle set piece moment between Adar (Sam Hazeldine) Elrond (Robert Aramayo), Laz (Orc) and a working trebuchet." How a trebuchet will factor into the mix remains to be seen. Regardless, it will be fun to see Elrond go toe-to-toe with Adar. (Hazeldine replaces the recently-departed Joseph Mawle in the role for Season 2.) Laz is also described as Adar's "right hand man," which should keep that fight interesting. The question is, will the young, outnumbered Elvish herald be at a disadvantage, or does he already have some secret skills that we're unaware of?
The other part of the leak, which is more gruesome, claims, "Galadriel will face off against a 'Berserker Orc' which is said to be massive and almost 2 metres tall." For those of you who measure in feet, that's a mad Orc that towers over six and a half feet above the ground. It's reminiscent of the half-mad Uruk-hai with the torch that Legolas fails to shoot down in "The Two Towers." However, in this case, we may be in for a more disturbing experience. The report adds more details about this terrifying-sounding antagonist by adding, "A similar comparison was made to the Giant Infected creature (Bloater) in episode 5 of 'The Last of Us.'" If we're going to get a bloater-like Orcish assailant in Season 2, you can bet your bottom dollar this thing is going to get ugly fast.
