Why not make both ? Lol
Just imagine a face off between this gigantic dragon and Ghidorah 😮!!😮
what a depressing bore of a voice.
Rubbish art, not at all what was intended
Exactly as intended 😜
my opion is mithral is it cant hold a edge...
Aragorn: oh ok cool, you took care of those Uruks for us, yeah... hey would you mind... like taking on the rest of... Mordor..? AotD: are you f*cking serious...
😂
Sorry, but the point of it beeing to light is not a good one. why not produce normal axes and cover it with mithril? combine the strenghts of both metalls.
Well you’d only need to do that if the metal was too light. So it’s a valid point then 🤔
@@FairlyFictional well didnt you said the problem of axes is that the Would be to Light? Also the same on arrows, yet the point of beeing to expensive is a good one, given arrows dont Hit 100%
He makes that oath in both the movies and the books, and that's why. Of course you couldn't make a whole video if that was all there was to it, and that's all there is to it!
If it’s “Light as a feather and hard as dragon scales” Would it make a decent, wieldable Buster Sword? (Clouds original sword from Final Fantasy)
Baradur was a long way from Mount Doom and Baradur was on a hill for defensive purposes. I doubt lava from Mount Doom could get to it. Actual battle axes are not like the ones depicted in fiction. They were very light and much smaller than typically drawn because you had to strike many times in a battle. You could make the axes much bigger or with more thrusting edges with mithril and still be able to swing it hundreds of times in a few minutes.
He received a second life as Steven Tyler's daughter
One does not simply...
Pro-Writer here. I would NEVER have taken the armor of the dead to Mordor. However, it was a *HUGE* mistake not to use something so objectively cool, with such a dramatic gravitas behind them in defense of the actual city of Gondor. Dispensing with an undead army “offscreen” is one of Tolkien’s biggest mistakes and is one of the prime examples of how superior his world building is to his instincts are a storyteller.
Very interesting. When I read the Silmarillion, I do not remember "gnomes" being mentioned. But you say they were renamed as something else by Tolkien. Okay. But where did they come from? How did they originate, and why do they seem to be smaller versions of dwarves?
Gnomes were his original name for Noldor elves. They did not actually look like small dwarves, which is why he changed the name to avoid the confusion. I made the images to demonstrate the confusion he was aiming to avoid.
I still get the full body chills whenever I read Aragorn's address to the Dead. I can hear his voice ringing out across the hill country.
Kinda hard to take the idea of gnomes seriously given the way they’re drawn in these images.
Don’t mess with gnomes. They’re deadly serious 😅
Um, yeah🤷🏼♂️. 🤓😎✌🏼
@Fairly Fictional Very happy the audio glitch was fixed - your voice and the background melodic sound came in full and bright👍. Appreciate the topical discussion as it’s not one often discussed. As for me, I think it would’ve been interesting for Tolkien to keep the original character, but perhaps change the name (which he did) only but kept everything else as it would add yet another race of beings to his legendarium. Ps. Was that background sound another from the CZcams studio or something else? It went well with your story and was quite relaxing. Would like to know what it is if possible :)
Thanks. I will see if I can find the name of the track.
@@FairlyFictional Thank you - you did that last time and the music has been great for relaxing. You have a great ear for relaxing music 😊
So we'll done. I would have done what aragorn did I like to think.
Thanks ☺️
I could totally see mixed metal armor, or arrowheads. I could also see thin and light weapons being exceptionally good for Elves in general, especially wood elves.
Instead ships with black sails and 7000 men of the West lead the Prince of Dol Amroth
Thank you ive been saying this for years cgi botched Pelanor fields
I still can’t believe there were no Dunedain in the fight too 🙄.
30 grey rangers of Arnor, What a missed oppertunity. Let's not even mention the latest depiction of Numenor and its army of a couple hundred green lads who can't grow beards.
great pictures. Great connection to Luthien and her song putting Morgoth to sleep.
Thanks you 🙏🏼
there is a gnome, a dwarf, Mim, who shared his hideout with Turin Turambar. Mim belongs to a dying dwarfen race.
Nasty ole bugger Mim... That petty dwarf made Turin's life even sadder.
fabulous pictures
Thank you 🙏🏼
I never forgot about the Noldor but they didn't look like that sort of wish they did as the image you showed for Galdor was very amusing. Also in a world with Halflings these would be closer to Eithlings. Never mind you explained it perfectly, for a moment there I thought you were going to be telling me Fëanor was 12 inches tall.
Thanks. I just wanted to have some fun with the images really. It was more that people may have forgotten or never known that they used to be called gnomes. Maybe I should have done a little Fea-gnome image 😅
I would love to see the gnomes fight a balrog. They're so cutsie wootsie in their little helmets and their itsy bitsy little war hammers. Maybe afterwords they all go to a tea party.
That would be great 😂. Maybe Amazon can do something like that 😝
@@FairlyFictional Shhhhhhhhh!
😄
They did fight them and still hold the Balrog-killing record outside the War of Wrath. The gnomes were just Noldor, like Turgon, Rog, Glorfindel, etc.
But we want to see garden gnomes fighting balrogs 😄
I thoughg gnome was simply another word for noldor
What????
That makes no sense at all
They are called Noldoli@@jonathanduplantis1403
Yes it was. You can read it in the Lost Tales. Tolkien gnomes were Noldor and not David, the gnome. The images in this video are wrong and misleading. Even if she explains it at the end of the video. 99% of people have not read the Fall of Gondolin. The clickbait worked, because I watched the entire video 😄
@@CondeAlberto is it worth to read the fall of Gondolin?
there is no life in this narration 😔 i fear that sauron has not been completely destroyed
Why are these orcs beleaguered?!😅
What is your resource for the artwork
I created all the art used in these videos
You know what the people want.... How about you start off by using Orc's in your video, not those jumped up Ogre wannabes from Warcraft 😒😡
i like you interpretation of the post credits trope. As cheesy as it may be, its refreshing to see something used with such creativity
Thanks 😅
Why exactly does anyone pity him?
He’s a pathetic looking thing I guess…
This is a great video...
Thank you. This is a great comment!
I hope he was reincarnated from the hall of Mandos
Can you name the artist, or where the art comes from ? Thank you !
I made the art actually. Did you want it for screensavers or something? I plan on making them available some how at some point.
@@FairlyFictional Yes I would love it !! You should totally put them available for everyone, they look really awesome :D
