    I quite like how the Durin/Elrond plot line changes our perspective on the Moria in the main trilogy. We know that the dwarves will dig too deep and reach the Balrog, but while it was always assumed that they dug out of greed, we now know that it was originally out love and selflessness. They might have gone too greedy and ambitious with time, but it all started because Durin and Elrond just loved each other so much. It adds another layer to the tragedy of their downfall, I really like it!

    Yes. That is Orodruin. Also called Mount Doom in the common tongue. Where Sauron would eventually forge the One Ring. One Ring to rule them ALL! The Balrog is the same race as Sauron. They were Maiar who became evil. They worshipped Melkor, aka as Morgoth in the first age. Sauron was like Morgoth's right hand man. He was his best pupil.

Years later Balin, the same Balin we know from the Hobbit, has - with a small group - tried to reclaim Moria. While he did have some beginner success, ultimately he failed, and was killed by an arrow to the chest (his tomb is where Gimli cries in Fellowship). One other notable dwarf, Oin (also part of the Bilbo Dwarf company) and a few other dwarves tried to escape through the west gate, but the water level was high, and the Watcher in the water killed them.

    Guys I'm going to reveal to you now that it wasn't the Mithril itself that turned the malorn leaf back to normal. That's a deceivement made by the production, for metal itself doesn't possess that kind of power. It was the everlasting bond of friendship and care between an elf and a dwarve, that imprinted on the Mithril, made it purify the leaf. You can say that Mithril has special properties that allow it to absorb whichever will make it stronger, even emotions. I think that's what the production is trying aim in here.
    You're welcome 😉

    29:00 The Balrog are Maiar corrupted by Morgoth. Only one Balrog was known to survive the fall of Morgoth. But at this point in time while the people of Middle-Earth might be aware that at least one Balrog is still around, no one would know where it's holed up. Durin III fears the collapse of the mountain. Whereas he is correct to not pursue this mining effort, it is for a different reason that he's unaware of. Durin IV is trying to do the right thing in the here and now, instead. I would argue both are correct, but Durin IV is correct for better reasons; things he can see and judge rather than only assume. Although.. it will lead to the fall of Khazad-dûm.

    You seem to be misremembering a few things. Tar Palantir, Míriel's grandfather, said she'd find 'darkness' if she went to Middle Earth, so it turns out that he foresaw her going blind, not her death.
    It is not forbidden among elves to be with others, it just rarely ended well. Beren and Lúthien (Lúthien herself was half-Elf, but the other half was Maia, like Gandalf) were the first and most famous human/elf couple and both tragically died (though they did reincarnate and lived as mortals), incidentally, they were Elrond's great grandparents. Technically speaking, Half-elves are not often 50/50, Elrond's bloodline is man, Maia, and Teleri Elf (well, one Teleri and one Sindar, which is an offshoot of Teleri) on his father's side and man, Noldor Elf, and Vanyar Elf on his mother's side, Elrond is mainly known as half-elven because his parents were not wholly elves, his mother Elwing was around 60/40 Elven while his father Earendil was 50/50, overall 'close enough'.
    The Half Elves got the choice to be counted among Elves or Men after Morgoth's defeat by the Valar Manwe; Elrond's brother Elros was the only one who chose to be seen as Man and granted the Gift of Men (death) rather than seen as an Elf and granted passage to the Undying Lands, he became the first King of Númenor and thus ancestor of Aragorn, he died at 500.
    Apple Sausage does exist, it's mainly apple pieces inside the sausage, I was never quite fond of it myself.
    The Balrog is not likely the same as the one in the story, if it's the story of Glorfindel and the Balrog they did both fall together but the Balrog 'died' (Balrogs are Maia so they can't necessarily die like mortals). This Balrog is possibly Durin's Bane, the one Gandalf fights in Moria, though it is awake rather early by lore standards. The Mithril does not keep the Balrog trapped, the Balrog has simply gone into hibernation and hiding after Morgoth's defeat. Khazad-Dum lives longer than this age, since Gimli felt that Moria would be vibrant with Dwarves still alive in the Third Age, and this is the Second Age. Mithril as well never caused a rift between Dwarves and Elves, their conflict goes much further back.
    At least in Tolkein's lore, Gandalf is never 'meant to be evil', the Five 'Wizards' were sent to help Middle Earth deter Sauron's rise to power; Saruman the White led the White Council where he offered his wisdom to the Last Alliance, Gandalf the Grey - who initially didn't want to go because he was afraid of Sauron - aided the Free People directly and indirectly often by bringing joy and raising courage and spirit, Radagast the Brown took care of the plant and animal life, and both Morinehtar and Rómestámo the Blue attempted to convince the inhabitants of the East to not side with Sauron. The Valar specifically told the wizards that if they tried to dominate Middle Earth or grow their individual power to match Sauron's power, their strength would fade, which is why when Saruman turned and Gandalf 'died', the Valar appointed him the new White Wizard, tasked with the purpose Saruman had forsaken and more powerful than him.
    Mithril does get used to make at least one of the rings, but not the One Ring. The One Ring is like Sauron's horcrux, which is why it has a corrupting influence, he also corrupted most of the other rings so he could enslave and corrupt the bearers, like he does to the Nine Kings that become Ringwraiths.

    The thing about the backlash against the show is a bit complicated, but it basically boils down to this:
    Thare are people who absolutely cannot remove themselves to previously settled canon (either movies or the books themselves)--the "gatekeepers", basically. Anything remotely contradictory to the original story(s) will hate this show. The thing is, if we just had the same story, it'd get boring real fast--we already know the story.
    Then there are the trolls, who talk/type trash while knowing nothing of the actual story.
    As someone who did read the books, I can say that I actually do like the show because I can appreciate it for what it is: another adaption of an already told story.

    This show is quickly revealing there is neither Tolkien nor Rings in it, "Auta i lóme" and " Aurë entuluva," have you fallen to rings of power? With the showrunner's now declaring in their most recent article that phans who oppose the show are evil, despite what these remaining episodes bring, is now redundant, for their arrogance is forged in ROP. We invite all to discover our "Exsurge Tolkien" and have a counter perspective to ROP and discover how it is full of heresy and hubris. The heresy of hubris is the most damning, for it is the single vice that binds all the persons developing The Rings of Power to the supremacy of a will that is Anti-Tolkien, ironically leading the very destruction of the beloved treasure the "Theyocracy" of the machine claims to cherish. The showrunner's design for ROP aligns with the mortal sin that fundamentally changes the craft of Professor Tolkien's Canon and the spectacular secondary world, as Melkor enslaved, corrupted, and broke the firstborn children of Iluvatar, the elves.
