The Rings of Power season 2 contains a very precise reference to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring's movie adaptation, according to its creators.
Speaking to TechRadar ahead of the hit Prime Video show's return, J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay confirmed that there's a very subtle but faithful call back to the first of six Middle-earth-set films directed by Peter Jackson. In fact, it's such an understated homage that I suspect many people – Tolkien fanatics or otherwise – won't have even picked up on it.
