"I'm a casual LotR fan just getting into TROP, and what really got me hooked was the orc vs. elf battle in S1E3 - "Adar." SO much of that scene got me invested: The creativity of the choreography, using chains and sticks as weapons. The teamwork that showed off decades of training together. The emotion of seeing Revion standing there, stock-still like he's struck by the horror of what the orcs have done to the land, only for him to turn and reveal the arrow in his chest. (RIP, Watchwarden, you were a side character I inexplicably got attached to). I loved all of it! Battles that show off the intelligence/passions of the characters are my jam and I think this one delivered. Really looking forward to watching more as the series goes on!"
