Is Return to Moria Lore Friendly? | Tolkien Reader's Perspective | Lord of the Rings
In this video, I go through my thoughts on Return to Moria. Of all the Lord of the Rings and Tolkien games, precious few are lore accurate or even remotely respectful to the source material. Some are still fun games, but in this video, I show how this new game, Return to Moria does with Lore accuracy. LOTR games are a lot like Star Wars games in this way, and Return to Moria is ahead of the pack in many ways.
If you enjoy videos about Lord of the Rings, Silmarillion, Children of Hurin, Beren and Luthien, Fall of Gondolin, Hobbit, Dwarves, or any of Tolkien's works, I highly recommend you subscribe.
As always, LOTR is infinitely better than Harry Potter, and thanks for watching!
No Howard Shore music in today's video.

Tolkien's Saddest Quote
Переглядів 2,8 тис.8 місяців тому
J.R.R. Tolkien was a master of many languages. Fortunately for us, he was also an Englishman. In this video, I unpack the story of Beren and Luthien (The Lay of Leithian) in brief as a precursor to revealing, what I believe to be, one of the most if not the most, sad quotes Tolkien ever wrote. I find it so beautiful because the best stories speak to a real truth even if the story is false. In m...
What is Galadriel's Phial?
Переглядів 719Рік тому
In this video, I analyze the Phial of Galadriel and its significance. Though not on the level of a Silmaril of Feanor, by looking at the quotes from the Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, the phial and its powers come into focus. I absolutely love talking about Tolkien, Middle Earth, The Silmarillion, The Lord of the Rings, and all that good stuff, so if you enjoy the video, please give it...
Understanding The Silmarillion
Переглядів 2,4 тис.Рік тому
In this video, I lay the framework for how to read, interpret, and enjoy The Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien. I offer hints and nudges to allow potential readers to uncover the themes, motifs, and meanings for themselves. The Silmarillion is a difficult book to read for many, with a great deal of characters and places, Melkor, Turin, Manwë, and Beren, just to name a few. This is not a video to them...
Understanding Aragorn's Death
Переглядів 794Рік тому
In this video, I give one of the many examples of what The Lord of the Rings movies did so well. This example has to do with dialogue and shows how much the filmmakers really cared about adapting Tolkien's work. The scene in question has to do with the death of Aragorn and Arwen, so I also explain and thematically analyze that part of the story. I absolutely love talking about Tolkien, Middle E...
Understanding The Magic of Middle Earth
Переглядів 151 тис.2 роки тому
In this video, I give the broadest explanation of how the magical system within Tolkien's world works. Unlike Harry Potter and other worlds where there are simply words of power, the magic of middle earth relies on deistic commands like gods in religion. The main example used is the fight Between Gandalf and the Balrog, specifically Gandalf saying, "You shall not pass!" I absolutely love talkin...
