I'm excited about the show, but not because of that video nor because of the title. In that sense the title announcement is a failure.
It reaches the largest audience I think. If they called it "The fall of Numenor" most would not know what it was about. Melkors pulling of the strings of Sauron, the flooding of Numenor (nicely referenced in the video, water washing over the molten stream as the narration says "nine for mortal men, doomed to die"). One thing that is neat is the trailer is all practical effects, no cgi.
