If this was in the Middle Ages of Europe, a war would of been started because you didn’t give the king respect, let alone actually nearly killing one and kidnapping his daughter.

  • @LordofFullmetal
    @LordofFullmetal Před 4 lety +514

    Honestly, this ending was so beautiful it gave me chills. Talion sacrificed everything for Middle Earth, even eventually his own morals, and then ended up being freed from the darkness by the Fellowship. It might not be canon, but it fits beautifully with the canon themes of how ANYONE can be corrupted by the Rings of power, even from the purest intent, and in the end it took a pair of hobbits to rescue them.
    Edit to add: It also fits perfectly with the theme that Middle Earth wasn't saved by one person. It was saved by a bunch of small people in their small worlds, doing all that they could to hold back the darkness - even when they had no reason to believe it would amount to anything.
    Talion didn't know that one day, the Fellowship would rise. Aragorn didn't know Frodo was still alive. There was a while where Sam thought Frodo was dead. Theoden had no idea there even WAS a plan with the ring. Frodo and Sam didn't know that Sauron hadn't already won. Yet they all fought, for as long as they could - and in the end, it was enough. In the end, all those tiny little efforts combined to do something incredible - they won.

      Another astounding fact is that even after all the heavy post-processing of the voices to make them sound all Nazgûl-like you can still clearly hear different voice actors! The most prominent examples are Witch-King and Talion (in DLC Blade of Galadriel during the final battде between him and Eltariel).

    -Both created a ring of power different than the others.
    -Both control a large army.
    -Both rely to an extent on the power of one of the rings.

      I think the main problem with other media changing the lore of books which they are based on is that some people will eventually see the game/movie lore as relevant to the books. In different comment thread under this video, I am having discussion with someone who is trying to persuade me that Isildur could have been a Ringwraith in the books, because Saruman could have given his 3000 years old bones to Sauron and he could have ressurected him by putting one of the Nine on his fingerbones. And he really stands behind his opinion, because in his mind, Rings ressurect people, Nazghúl are being replaced like old socks (instead of being the same 9 men who got the rings from Sauron in the Second Age) and I think it is really wrong when someone´s vision of canon Middle-earth is so much distorted from what Tolkien wrote.

    You know, I know much of the lore in Shadow of War wasn't "Canon" to what was in the books, but to be perfectly honest, I really liked what they added.
    Shelob having shapeshifting powers like her mother, and having moivations beyond just being a hungry spider was a nice embellishment.
    Thats what they were. Embellishments.
    I really liked that the Nazgul weren't Nine continuous Shades, but were a rotating rosta of the nine most powerful men under Sauron's command. The idea that you *could* technically, defeat a Nazgul made them more frightening, rather than less, because it brought some of their power and skill under themselves, rather than just by virtue of being nine faceless servants of Sauron. I really liked teh idea that Isildur's spirit was enslaved by Sauron, or that the someone could defeat a Nazgul, claim their ring of power, and then become a Nazgul themselves, eventually taking their defeated enemies place. Theres a certain "Sith Rule Of Two" to it, that strikes me as very Sauron. Either way he ends up with a powerful servant, and it means that Sauron continuous to be deceptive and corruptible all his reign, rather than just briefly before becoming a flaming eye. (And yes, I know that was just in the films).

      It's too chaotic to be Sauron. This is the guy who was so anal-retentive that his minions had serial numbers.
      Also, Ungoliant didn't actually have shapeshifting powers. She became bloated and engorged, and we know that Maiar don't pass on their abilities to their offspring; Luthien had to don Thuringwethil's cloak to shapeshift, after all.

      Mees arentz actually, I could believe that Isildur was a Nazgul who was released and then replaced. No mortal in Lord of the Rings would know of this or of Talion's existence anyway. Even if the Maiar/Valar themselves knew of Isildur's fate/Talion, what purpose would it serve to bring it up to the Fellowship or anyone else? Even in the books, the Nazgul really are just long forgotten relics of the past to any of the mortal characters; doesn't matter who they were in life anymore, it's not useful to their destruction.

      Minor? They turned the Nazgul into dementors, made shelob a sex kitten and grafted a ghost wrestling match onto the end of the Return of the King. If they didn't want complaints they could have done it without calling it "Shadow of Mordor" but of course you need those Known Characters for the franchise dollars. Fuck when did standards fall so far that hacky monstering of classic works became okay as long as it's for the great God profit? Whatever happened to that artistic integrity we're told copyright is there to protect?

    • @jungkinoid8706
      @jungkinoid8706 Před 6 lety +120

      Simon S
      You are like a parody of Tolkien fans, seriously. First, what are the fucking "Known Characters" you're talking about? Yes, there are characters from the books but not a single one from the movies except for Gollum and obviously Sauron, but that's because Sauron is always the fucking villain. Yes, they took some liberties. But this is like Elder Scrolls Online, in which they ruin the amazing TES world with bullshit and generic fantasy garbage but it can still be enjoyable. I don't go whining about how they ruined the lore because even though I love the Elder Scrolls and it's my favorite fictional universe, ESO is one godamn game. It's highly doubtful that it's canon and in the case of Shadow of War/Mordor, they're 100% not. Oh and yes, those are still pretty minor changes, all things considered.

    • @shama6394
      @shama6394 Před 6 lety +34

      And you're like a parody of a 2010s kid who doesn't even remember what it's like to read a coherent, self-contained story that wasn't being screwed around with by the money men from day one. Which would certainly explain why you think it's like the Elder Scrolls, because that's *always* been a bloated, directionless mess of a storyline screwed around with for the sake of whatever Bethesda felt like.
      The thing I find interesting is that this is all following on from years of people saying "copyright's really important because it protects the author's work from being bastardised" yet here we are, seeing a godawful hash which has almost nothing in common with Tolkien's work bar some names, specifically enabled because a giant firm with zero artistic integrity squirreled that copyright for gaming purposes. And you're defending it... for reasons, apparently. Because Warner Brothers' right to shit on people's favourite stories is sacrosanct through the sacred process of title deed?

    • @jungkinoid8706
      @jungkinoid8706 Před 6 lety +33

      Their right to do whatever the fuck is defended by the fact that they have the rights to the property. As for your inane garbage on the Elder Scrolls, it's just plain wrong. The one game that was like what you mentioned is ESO, and that's because IT WASN'T EVEN THEM. Bethesda didn't even fucking make the game, it was their parent company which pretty much meant they had no godamn choice in the matter. "Because it's always been a bloated, directionless mess of a storyline". Dude. Don't even attempt this. You clearly know nothing about the Elder Scrolls at all. Should I go by each game and tell you why you're wrong? Should I explain to you in baby talk how that universe was created by a few writers and directors that were passionate for what they were doing? Should I tell you about Micheal Kirkbride, who cared enough to make art for and write lore for the Elder Scrolls even when he wasn't working at Bethesda? Their canon is messy, sure, but that's because of C0DA for the most part. They've also had different writers for nearly every game, so you can understand how each of their interpretations could have differed a little bit.
      I've never heard someone say copyright protects an author's work from being bastardized. It protects the author's work from being *stolen*. I'm not saying the makers of this game have some God-given right not to be criticized, that would be retarded. I'm saying it's stupid to say they ruined Tolkien, and whine about it ceaselessly. It isn't even fucking canon. It obviously isn't. IT CAN'T BE. It directly flies in the face of Tolkien's lore, and even contradicts the movies. Think about it like an alternate comic book universe. It can be different and several small ways and even one or two big ones, but it's still based off that original universe that all the beloved characters started in. I'm not saying Tolkien fans don't have the right to disagree with the changes, as I am a Tolkien fan myself and I disagree whole-heartedly with these decisions. But... I also just kind of don't care. It's a dumb game made for being fun. It's not high art. I just wish everyone would stop bitching about it.

    As far as fan fic goes, this game still hold up pretty well, when the main complaint I have is, Sauron cant shapeshift after the fall of Númenor.
    Sauron is described at various times in Tolkien’s writings as being less than pleasant to look at. Peter Jackson’s film adaptations likewise present him as a menacing black knight. Even though he’s an unrepentant baddie, you might still be wondering: if the guy is so powerful, why doesn’t he give himself a physical make-over? Well, the answer is “because he can’t”.
    When the island kingdom of Númenor sank to the bottom of the ocean during the Second Age, Sauron went down with it. Although he survived, it cost him the ability to assume his angelic disguise (sometimes known as “Annatar”) robbing the Dark Lord of his most effective weapon against Men and Elves.
