epic? Take a tent and food lol

So many tongue rolls in this video 😭😭

But they didn't!

Radagast didn't listen to Saruman's nonsense. He went his own way.

Work to support those things that can live without war. It's the only way forward and the key to survival.

We'll find out in November I guess.

Every time I always asked myself why is Olorin/Gandalf look’s like a young Patrick Stewart 😊

Wat u talking about bro he healed those guinea pigs that my friend is called, success

it would make sense for the potentially most powerful to stay in the back ground, slippery enough where we cant tell if he did a A++ job or a C- job

Very nice video covering the (elvish) world of Tolkien up to the end of the third age (the end of the rings of power war). Very good overview and analysis. Congratulations and Many Thanks.

20:06 BOOM💥 PLOT TWIST 😅 I really want to see this idea on a TV series. It has an of course better plot, right timeline but most important, this version respects Tolkien and the characters he created. I really enjoyed this video ❤ Very good job 🎉 Amazon, do you hear?

Is this cannon?

I adore your content. Glad your back. Thank you for all the time you put in 🏳️‍🌈

Beleg is the ultimate bravest best friend

You didn't bring up do Guldur or gunabad those are also orcs strongholds😊

"people" is plural already. there is no such thing as "peoples"

I can’t fall asleep if you keep putting loud noises as transitions!!!

It's cute to imagine a world in which we actually get good storytelling in tolkiens world again, I dream of the days we see the silmarillion on the big screen or at the very least an animated series but i know the stupid estate would never let that happen

I can’t stand the tone and intonation of these videos.

15:44 That depiction of Sauron is absolutely terrifying. Wtf.

Thank you for these explanations, it was very interesting. Unfortunately, I was lost after 19 min...all these names got mixted together...maybe keep the family tree on the screen throughout the video?

Roll your “r’s” a bit more. Not sure if the pronunciation is correct

Gandalf fell down into Blackreach

Someone should take your second age series & adapt it for a film!

Gandolf told us... "I am Saruman... Or rather Saruman as he should have been"! He was given Saruman power to replace him as he had fallen into dark thoughts and even darker desires.

This is the most epic series ever! thank you dave, your a legend among us Tolkien fans <3

You love poetry, and I love it

if the velar weren't allowed to help the elves, how could them Ulmo help Tuor?

16:20 great idea for an animated show tbh

If Frodo was long gone by the time Sam traveled West then why would he have bothered going there? It feels a very empty ending for him. Would he not have wanted to remain in the Shire and be buried with his wife whom he adored? Of course Appendix B doesn't definitively state that Sam passed into the West only that the tale that he did was handed down by his descendents. However I think we can take it that Sam did go there but I just don't see any reason for hin doing so other than to be reunited with Frodo for at least some time.

This channel has become my favorite Tolkien lore channel

Great video Dave. I just love following Tolkiens path where things change or come together for him. Great fun

So if Moria were founded in the age of starlight, before Melkor was overthrown, how did the Balrog get in un-noticed ?

Upon re-listening, I actually don't think it would be inconsistent with Gil-galad "the Golden" to inherit kingship instead of Galadriel. If we go with "the Dark," then there is a thematic consistency of birthright being taken into account, but ultimately, kingship would be yeilded to the one considered most worthy by his people. Thus, the kingship that should, by birthright, have passed to Fingon's very young son was instead given to Fingon's brother who, as you said, was the only Noldorin ruler who still had any semblance of a realm. If, however, we go with Gil-galad "the Golden," then birthright takes a heavier significance in who holds the kingship. If Gil-galad is not Fingon's son then Fingon died without issue and the kingship passed to his brother Turgon when Fingon's own line ended. Galadriel is the youngest child of the youngest child of High King Finwe, so Galadriel would be quite literally the last person to whom the birthright could be passed. The birthright would have passed to her older brother Angrod before it passed to her, but once Angrod had the birthright, his son would have prior claim over his sibling. Probably a greater contradiction that "the Golden" offers is that Elrond or Elros would also both technically have a prior claim to Gil-galad "the Golden" and were either passed over because they inherited the claim through their distaff side (which *would* confirm that women couldn't inherit) or because they were so young that Gil-galad was considered a better choice, which would contradict the importance of birthright even while simultaneously establishing the importance of birthright. In either case, I'm still Team Dark all the way. Perhaps Tolkien could have persuaded me over to Team Golden if he had lived long enough to flesh out and streamline their side a bit more.

Well done! The children of hurin was great as well.

Thanks Dave :)

As it is written, so shall it be done. sAURON could not have won, because Eru Illuvitar said so in the song of creation.BUT, I find myself drawing parallels between Mairon and dRUMPF. If I have a wish & I can wish it, please ERU ILLUVITAR, let us be free of this darkness

After defeating the Balrog his robes were so dirty that he: 1) Washed his robes, or 2) Bought new robes

Muchhh love here i have been replaying all the videos for the third time now ❤️❤️ waiting for playlist for the fall of gondolin and war of wrath

So the Elves ate Dwarf meat and used their bones and skin to make tools? Doesn't seem very Elf-like to just shoot an animal and leave it.

That was a great conclusion. Way to tie up those ends. 👏

An excellent video I’m late on commenting again…. Anyway if anyone is listening…. Remember when Aragorn and the guys are chasing the orcs across Rohan he says: The stars are faint; and I am weary as I have seldom been before, weary as no Ranger should be with a clear trail to follow. There is some will that lends speed to our foes and sets an unseen barrier before us: a weariness that is in the heart more than in the limb.’ I think this is the power of Sarumans ring and somehow the rings enhance your will or spirit so that you can dominate others and bend the fabric of reality itself if you are powerful enough.

Those symbols you used at the start of each part aren't the elvish numbers. Looks like you used a Dan Smith font but didn't look into how they encoded the symbols.

This video is so painful, it’s simply a fantastic interpretation of what could have been. I’ll never understand why they chose to dilute the story and characters in such a weird way. The tone is just all wrong, it stops the whole show from being engaging. With the sort of marketing they can pull for a LotR show, an engaging story and satisfying characters would have been a money printer. It’s a depressing parallel with the Halo tv show :/

While you are working on other projects I’m re watching all these thanks for great content

Hot take: Unlike Elrond, Sam has balls and would had killed Frodo should the need had presented itself.

Thank you, God be with you✝️🛐for you

I think Gandalf Transcended. At the end he wasn’t just a Maya, he was a Valar

We may aspire to be like the faithful of Numenor or the mighty of Gondor, but we're all lucky to be more like the brave Rohirrim. Honestly I imagined myself as a Rider of the Mark on my Harley when I was a young wild asshole, so...bias.

please continue your series comparing the movies and the books, its very good imo and i'd love to hear more
