Why didn't Elrond destroy the One Ring? The Lord of the Rings | Middle Earth
According to Elrond's own account in The Lord of the Rings, when the Last Alliance of Elves and Men and Sauron were at war, Isildur cut off Sauron's finger and took the One Ring. But then he refused to destroy it in Orodruin, where it had been made. So why didn't Elrond destroy the One Ring there that day when he had the chance?

What is the Watcher in the Water? The Lord of the Rings | Middle Earth
It's been a while since I read the books, but in the movie, when Frodo chose to go through Moria, Gandalf reacted with dread, which foreshadowed the Balrog.
How did he get his ring back?
My personal theory about dragons in middle earth is they are great serpents twisted by morgoth in a more the eagle and the viper style tale but that’s just my theory
Gandolf?
Meat. :)
If I'm remembering this right, Tolkien wrote Gandalf's confrontation with the balrog before he decided to give Gandalf the ring of fire. By announcing to the balrog that he wields the flames of the very sun itself, something that Morgoth and his servants feared and hated, Gandalf is revealing to the balrog that he, too, is a Maia, but he remained true to his purpose, that he is a force of good and will not let a servant of evil roam free. Anor is the Sindarin word for the sun. Gandalf wields the flame of Anor, the sun that struck fear into all evil.
I think its more likely that the Fellbeasts are a mockery of the Eagles in terms of size and anatomy
Eru Ilúvatar recreated Gandalf as Gandalf the White and sent back to Middle Earth, why did he recreate the ring of fire Narya? Did Gandal ever use that ring? if yes, then when and how?
You see in the movie the eat eachother
Thank you Dragon 🧙💛🤍💛
Even both are Maia, Olorin (Gandalf's Ainu name) has the direct mandate of Eru Iluvatar to help those who opposed Sauron. That is the reason why he could never fail. He is backed-up by the Sacred Fire.
To be fair to the other Istari, I have seen videos discussing how Palandu and Alatar contributed from afar in their own ways. And some (like Peter Jackson) have portrayed Radagast as having been helpful once or twice as well. That would mean is was only Saruman who truly failed, and that was, sadly, quite deliberate. What *I* want to know is why (in Jackson's tale) Gandalf couldn't remember the names of those first two colleagues. I submit that he should have.
10:47 "Then Gandalf was sent back... naked... until his mission was complete..." Gandalf's return: "Gandalf!!" "Yes... that's what they used to call me... Gandalf the Grey... I am..." "Gandalf, where is your robe?!?" "My mission is not yet complete."
Looks like meat back on the menu boys Orcs use to be human or elves
I never read the novels. The movies are mostly what I know as LotR. Instead of them eventually coming back up, and the mountain that we see being a mountain on the surface of Middle Earth, I had thought for a long time that the mountain peak was really in some bizarre plane of existence that you eventually get to if you keep falling. Like, after hitting the surface of the water they keep falling, and then somehow (???) they fall through the water into something else, and then something else, etc. .. and then somehow one of the levels below the lake bed is terrestrial with an atmosphere and mountains. What we see if it in the movies, if I remember, is they hit the water, then we see the end of the fight at the mountain top, and then we see Gandalf awaken in the afterlife.
Answer: He couldn't get up. By now it has become canon that Gandalf yelled out "I've fallen and I can't get up." Followed by a quick visit to a non-Wendys fast food restaurant where Gandalf tried a burger and exclaimed "Where's the beef?!"
I'm betting on the nameless things. For there always exists a grain of truth in old tales. Why are they called wyrms anyways, and why do they take such offense to it? I think their origin is etched, unreadable deep, but still etched onto every dragon.
On the movies he became about 200% more gay
He fought, died, got resurrected and got up again. Maybe people should learn to read.
Aren't there elves with a Maiar ancestor? Edit: Never mind. You mentioned it.
He gained allot of experience, levelled up, learned new spells, rolled lots of 20's
He has to have the months ...to explain the years of middle earth...I'm thinking it's because a different name for them would throw us off topic ...
Sauron created the Uruks, that were known as the Black Uruks of Mordor, and Saruman created the Uruk hai. Saruman improved the Uruks, if an orc can be improved!, and I think it was his ring that allowed the Uruk-hai to endure the sun. I think the orc that says the Gate of Minas Tirith is too strong is a Black Uruk as he is tall, straight backed, has Black skin and seems to be of a high rank, but is not Gothmog.
Nice video tnx
Something else made at least Glaurung unique: he could use magic. He froze Turin in place, wiped and restored Nienor's memory, created mist.
That was interesting.
This would be better narrated by a human.
Skip to 10:12 to get what the title promise
whats in Legolas's butt?

this is ai
I noticed that white suit was a finer texture than the old bloody unwashed grey. Kinda like vader's threads.😂😂
Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth we shall not speak of such evil here..
They certainly ate anything in there path wherever they went and conquered.
The AI voice is somewhat distracting :(
The voice actors who played the orcs we’re supposed to have a couple women, they replaced them with guys. I’m guessing the female orcs would look the same as the male, same masculine type body and hard to separate the genders
None of these facts is unknown to anyone who has read the books.
allied, not aligned.
This is just my opinion but I don’t feel like you answered your own question. You did not touch on where the elves were at the war but only mentioned the one that occurred in the hobbit
Cool comcept but the uncanny valley of the the AI voice is... Unsettling.
I always thought he could have pushed him
The irony is that orc women were more beautiful than any elf.
He could have used gecko lizards for all know.
The Lesser? Do you, or do you think Tolkien, mean, Hobbits? The Little Folk, the Little Folk? Or lesser, meaning Middle Men? Not Numenoreans? Such a pity we don't know what 'Lesser' means.
Ai voices are a complete turnoff for videos like this. I can stomach it for shorts, but it always feels cheap and low quality. No matter how well researched or written the video might actually be. I'm sure there are people who don't care, but it's always going to be a limiting factor for you.
Dragons are easily offended by being called "worm." I always assumed it was because they originated from worm-like creatures.
Then Tolkien would have nothing to write about.
400 year siege: you must have a primary energy source that organisms at the bottom of the food chain feed on. That energy source does not need to be light. Presumably Melkor invented a form of underground agriculture based on geothermal energy. It is conceivable that he (and Sauron) had abundant food sources deep underground similar to the abundance of food at the bottom of the oceans where geothermal energy supports enormous fucundity and variety of lifeforms. side note: Melkor himself was a powerful source of energy. Much of his energy went directly into the earth itself, and he perhaps had ways of extracting his own energy from the earth to create food for his monsters. He also fed various monsters directly from his own energy (e.g. Carcharoth and Ungoliant)
2points: 1. JRRT is not the final authority on the LOTR. He was constantly retconning the world to the point the even he didn’t know what was true. 2. There’s a simpler explanation. The Ainulindalë is false. Melkor is Eru Illuvatar. The Valar overthrew him and he was pissed about it. I challenge anyone to read Silmarillion with that in mind. Once you see it you cannot unsee it.
Video doesn't say alot and that's because....we don't know. There's no canon answer.
I've always wondered if the base materials for dragons and the the fell beasts might have been rare remnants of dinosaurs that somehow escaped the extinction episode, this being before the awakening of the first born.
