    I can understand why Gandalf's side trip to Rohan after escaping Orthanc got replaced in the movies with Gwaihir taking Gandalf all the way to Rivendell, but it made the eagles overpowered and left people wondering why they weren't used to at minimum convey the Fellowship from Rivendell to Lothlorien, thereby shortening the travel time and avoiding many perils.

      We know that Gandalf was the only of the Istari to actually stay true to his charge, so Radagast was likely just hanging with the servants of Yavanna, and protecting them if directly threatened.

    @Atomic-Monkey Před rokem +1

    you cant show internal dialogue, or writer narration, in a movie, at least not without usually really cringy dialogue. if the movies followed the books exactly (without any cringy dialogue/narration), gandalf would have bumped into a random wizard we never hear from again, saruman would have just "known" information presumably because the script just needed him to know it, gandalf would have surrendered to saruman for seemingly no reason, and he would have been rescued by an eagle that we'd have to assume was sent by that wizard who literally only existed to coincidentally send an eagle when gandalf needed saving.
    a good director knows what the underlying story is, and what needs to be used/changed/removed in order to best convey that story in a movie.

      I disagree. I think it's good for setting the stakes for the Audience. Not only are there forces beyond Mordor trying to claim the ring, but they are far closer to success than it first seems, and mighty enough to defeat Gandalf.

    With both Saruman and the balrogs being maiar, what would await them after they were killed? Would their spirits just float around like Sauron after being defeated by Isildur, or is there something else? I imagine if they return to Valinor Saruman might receive a different treatment than the balrog since he was seduced by the ring like anyone could be.

    Personally, while I don't always get why Saruman didnt kill Gandalf, or take his elven Ring of Power, just to use it as a potential bribe to Sauron, if helpful, I will say I do appreciate Jackson adding the fight in, between the two Wizards, especially if he already planned to exclude the Scouring of the Shire from the films. I feel like it might've helped explain how he was actually able to hold Gandalf prisoner, when the Grey Wizard obviously had magic of his own, with which to leave. This is also, in part, why I always supported the idea that they needed their staves to safely channel their magics, and that by keeping it away from Gandalf, he kept Gandalf isolated, instead of Mithrandir just using some spell to get down, attract aide, or something else.
    As a weird aside, do we know why the Istari were deprived of their memories of Valinor? This idea never occurred to me simply by reading, but instead from orher fans, and content creators, talking online, and I feel like it might have been one of the dumbest things Tolkien, or Eru Illuvatar, ever did. I feel like Saruman may have changed, in part, because he didn't remember the life he was forced to leave behind. "Ruling the world" could be fun to some, but did the White Wizard have nothing in Aman he longed to get back to; a goal, or prize to motivate him to have remained on track, had he been better? Some of the elves, I feel, may have wanted to remain in Middle Earth because there they could be lords, where as in Valinor they'd go from top of the pecking order to bottom, beneath the Valar, the Maiar, and other great creatures, and where several immortal elven kings already, and still, sat in rule of their lands therean always would. Maybe that covers Saruman, too, but it just feels weird to send them here, with little inkling of who they were, and why they'd want to ever go back, and it's not just Saruman, either. The Blue Wizards, assuming that they weren't simply killed, and then not reembodied, like Gandalf, and Radagast the Brown all failed in their quest, and were never able to go home. Maybe this isn't so bad, if they have no memories of what they've lost, but with no history in Middle Earth, and no longing to get back home, if they can just complete their mission, it almost feels like they were set adrift aimlessly, intended to fail, and that Gandalf simply won out conveniently. Why did the Valar take so much away from their servants, and then still expect them to prosper, especially when making them as they did made them more human, and they already knew how flawed even some good Men could be? The splendors of home could have been an unwelcome distraction, but I feel like they were put there with too little attachment to the world they were meant to help, knowing no one, and having no history in it, but also forgetting who they were, and why success mattered, apart from "because it's right."

      @forfun6273 Před rokem

      Yeah I agree. I always wondered why Saruman would turn bad. Like dude yeah Sauron powerful but he’s insignificant compared to the host of the valar. And his spirit can’t die. So if he gets killed he’ll just go to the undying lands and build a new body or whatever. Just doesn’t make sense. I understand radagast. He just likes animals and decided he would rather focus on them. I mean we have people today who like animals more than people and call their dogs their kids. Imagine if you could actually speak to them. But Gandalf had to have a decent amount of his memory’s because of what he says to a balrog. So idk.

    Well, Samuran in the book is my favourite character. He's not evil, he just wishes to create noocracy with him at the top. He uses cold logic to achieve his goals. He's all about the advancement and rule of the wise which is a concept I can get behind. Sadly, he makes the wrong choices and with each failure he becomes more bitter and petty. I know that they were not supposed to influence the people of Middle-Earth, just guide them, but I also understand his frustration that the people he's trying to help to are mainking one step forward and two steps back.
