Does this imply Sauron will be shown as the originator of the "secret orc project"? Does he keep his "prototype" as a kind of souvenir? Having survived so many millenia as a warrior - I am impressed.Bottom far right is Adar, tortured Elf/father figure of Orcs.
I don’t know but I guess they’re doing something of the sort. Perhaps he’s not the originator but he’s involved or knows enough about it. I’m not sure this Adar is kept by Sauron, he could be a free agent at this time and Sauron has to win him over as a step in building his army.Does this imply Sauron will be shown as the originator of the "secret orc project"?

I agree, I can see difficulties but nothing that would make it impossible. The sword was buried along with Turin I think, so either someone would have to perform some grave robbery, or the grave was destroyed and opened during the breaking of Beleriand. But I believe his grave is on one of the islands off the northwestern coast of Middle-earth? Someone could go there. The person holding the sword looks dressed for cold weather. I don’t have a story idea but I assume someone can come up with one.The no. 9 which the Tolkien Professor talked about a sit being vey improbable to be Gurthang was the sword of Túrin Turambar as this would be too difficult to be connected to the story at hand - I do not think it that difficult: Túrin had no living descendants (officially, if one does not want Niënor to survive the fall, as her body was never found). But still his comrades probable had some descendants, and one of this comrades could have found the sword, and kept it, and some of his descendants could refuse to come with Elros to Númenor and go East into Eriador and start a local ruling line possessing the remnant of the sword still - and be as default in a opposition to Númenor. Not too difficult to imagine.

Galadriel's brothers Angrod and Aegnor are killed in the Dagor Bragollach. When we were discussing different possibilities for SilmFilm, I recall considering the possibility of capture and imprisonment in Angband rather than death in battle - MIA/POW, rather than KIA. Because you can easily make this change without altering the story in any way. If one of the brothers is injured and captured rather than killed, but still presumed dead by the Elves...well, now you have the same story that is told in the Silmarillion, but also the opportunity for an elf captive that terrible things happen to.
I am not suggesting that the Amazon show is doing that with Angrod, but the possibility of making that story happen is at least feasible.
Which one of his uncles? There's six to choose from, one of which is known to be still alive (Maglor).I see but Angrod is Gil-Galad"s grandfather. Going against one's own offsping seems like a strech without a very personal reason imho. (Or you take "Christopher's" descent for Gil-Galad which imho makes little sense in itself). And his grand-uncle - who might be bitter enough after Andreth's death - is imho even more problematic. Some proposed a surviving Maeglin - this, while unusual - would make a convincing elven villian. But if they really need one, why not let Celebrimbor's father or uncle survive? This would actually bring the latter one under some pressure if needed.
