Adar is Maeglin? - The Rings of Power Adar Theory Breakdown | Maeglin, Eol and Gondolin Explained

Has the identity of Adar finally been revealed in Episode 4 of The Rings of Power? Not quite. But we've been given a couple of subtle new hints, that led me to believe that Adar could be Maeglin - son of Eol, the Dark Elf. Maeglin, whose betrayal in the First Age led to the Fall of Gondolin.
In this video I'm going to explain Maeglin's story and try to convince you, that the possibility of him being Adar, is greater than you may think!
