The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power director Charlotte Brändström, cinematographer Alex Disenhof and VFX producer Ron Ames just unpacked Mordor’s fiery origin sequence in the Prime Video show’s first season.The trio broke down the climatic moment when Mount Doom erupts in Season 1, Episode 6, “Udûn,” during an interview with Variety. “There was this key that we had been teasing throughout Season 1, this broken sword,” Disenhof said. “By putting it in this stone and turning, it would essentially unlock the dams that would then allow the water to flow underground into these tunnels… under the village all the way to the mountain, hitting the magma lava and causing the explosion, which is loosely based on real science and how it would cause something like that.” Ames echoed Disenhof’s comments, insisting that the crew leaned heavily on “true physics” when crafting the sequence.For her part, Brändström was keen to emphasize the placement of the Mordor origin sequence within Episode 6’s narrative, noting how it set The Rings of Power’s heroes up for a false sense of victory. “They had won the battle, they felt they were out of it,” she explained. “They felt that they were safe, everything was good. And that’s why I feel like it was such a surprise and so strong at the end of that episode because… it was completely unexpected when the water started spurting.” Mount Doom’s eruption is arguably the most spectacular sequence in The Rings of Power Season 1, and its creation of the land of Mordor will presumably play a key role in Adar (Sam Hazeldine) and his rotting Orc army’s campaign to conquer Middle-earth in Season 2.Related: Lord of the Rings Has an Atlantis-Like Apocalypse Worse Than Numenor
