I get it, but like others have said the story has all but painted the stranger as him. He uses Gandalf lines, is clad in grey, is unfazed by fire, and has bonded with the Harfoots (the ancestors of Hobbits). I feel they did it because they are trying to appeal to a larger audience than fanboys. As such Gandalf is easily recognizable as a name to the non educated. I think deviating from Gandalf might be harder than just including him.

this show is going to be better than i thought

Quote:
As time passed, it came to his attention that Sauron, the Lord of Mordor, was expanding his power throughout Middle-earth and was being called the Lord of Men. Ar-Pharazôn, ever prideful, resolved to challenge him lordship of the earth.

In SA 3261, he marched upon Mordor with an army so powerful that Sauron's forces simply deserted him. But Sauron was cunning, and he feigned to be overawed at Ar-Pharazôn's might. The king did not trust Sauron, and brought him back to Númenor as a hostage.

However, Sauron quickly took advantage of his situation to gain Ar-Pharazôn's trust, and by way of careful flattery, lies and half-truths, he soon became the king's closest and most trusted advisor. He was able to corrupt Ar-Pharazôn, convincing him to worship Morgoth in the hope that he would be able to cheat mortality.

Some of the results of Sauron's cunning were the erecting of a Great Temple to Morgoth, intense persecution of the Faithful, and the chopping down of the White Tree of Númenor. Soon the king and his followers were worshiping Morgoth openly and burning innocents at the altar of the temple as sacrificial offerings to appease the false god.

The Stranger is a Blue Wizard. I highly doubt they are going to complicate the story by inserting Gandalf where he doesn’t belong.

It’s definitely Gandalf. In addition to the verbatim dialogue they show the moths when he destroys those beings. Gandalf has a thing for moths.

Every indication on the show has been that it's Gandalf, yeah.

See, that's what I was thinking. It all lines up to be one of the Blue Wizards, with the timing and the need to go to Rhun. It fits just right. Also, the Blue Wizards have almost no written history, so the story can go absolutely anywhere with them. It opens a lot of possibilities story wise.


I guess we have to wait about a year to find out.

I think they are throwing out red meat to the fanbase, which in my opinion is a red herring. Gandalf is a fan favorite but lets be real. Having the Stranger be a Blue Wizard gives the show liberties and an empty canvas to create story lines.
Another thing to think about. If the Stranger is a Blue Wizard, there may be an ultimate reveal of a second Blue Wizard. Perhaps that is what the Stranger is seeking as he heads East.

Watching this season of ROP and the discourse in this thread has provided a lot of info I didn't know....that I didn't know. I decided to rewatch the first three movies. I'm halfway through TFOTR and have picked up on a lot of things I didn't notice before.
