“Come forth, thou coward king, to fight with thine own hand and sword! Den-dweller and wielder of thralls, liar and lurker, foe of Gods and Elves, come! For I would see thy craven face!"
Now this is what Tolkien really deserve.. creativity..passion..and respect for his majestic work.. very well done.. thank you and keep doing great things like this one.. 🎉❤
@@davideghirelli4453 i know broda.. but that doesn't mean it is not well done.. Im a 3d artist and im usually against Ai.. but for small teams that doesn't have so much time/budget this is a good solution.. it's not so easy as it seems to make such a good work with Ai.. there's definitely an artist behind this.. and im here to support..
Eventhough this is very well made and that we as fans apreciate it, Tolkien himself would have hated the idea of AI being used in process of making this
Imagine a Gondolin movie with the visuals of Amazon, passion and lore accurate writing of Peter Jackson and the best actors coming to mind to portray this movie into theaters. I dream of that day.
This was def one of the most epic moments in the Silmarillion. Also, Echthelion vs Gothmog, Feanor vs the Balrogs. Anything Feanor did was epic, honestly.
This is one of the best videos on this story. Fingolfin is so beautiful here. Especially striking is the moment when he is all wounded, but still ready to fight.
Many years have passed since I last read the Silmarillion, and then I find this video and this one particularly took me back to a time where I used to read it as slow as a slog in order to visualize every single word from that book with intensity. Very well done, you brought me back to my teen years.
"Then Morgoth hurled aloft Grond, the Hammer of the Underworld, and swung it down like a bolt of thunder. But Fingolfin sprung aside, and Grond rent a mighty pit in the earth, whence smoke and fire darted. Many times Morgoth essayed to smite him, and each time Fingolfin leaped away, as lightning shoots from under a dark cloud; and he wounded Morgoth with seven wounds, and seven times Morgoth gave a cry of anguish, whereat the hosts of Angband fell upon their faces in dismay, and the cries echoed throughout the Northlands. But at the last the King grew weary, and Morgoth bore down his shield upon him. Thrice he was crushed to his knees, and thrice he arose again and bore up his broken shield and stricken helm. But the earth was all rent and pitted about him, and he stumbled and fell backward before the feet of Morgoth; and Morgoth set his left foot upon his neck, and the weight of it was like a fallen hill. Yet with his last and desperate stroke Fingolfin hewed the foot with Ringil, and the blood rushed forth black and smoking and filled the pits of Grond. Thus died Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor, most proud and valiant of the Elven-kings of old. The orcs make no boast of that duel at the gate; neither do the elves sing of it, for their sorrow is too deep."
This passage really shows the greatness of Fingolfin. Not only was he the bravest of the Children of Eru to be the only one to ever fight single-handedly against a Vala out of choice (the other possible contender is his father Finwe, but that certainly was not out of choice and we don't know if he actually fought Morgoth or was just killed straight away), not only did he wound Morgoth grieviously eight times, not only did he call him a coward in front of his own army but when he was exhausted and all but beaten, when Morgoth used his superior power to crush down on Fingolfin with his shield...Fingolfin as a mere Elf was able to push himself back up from his knees to his feet against a Vala three times before finally falling. There's no doubt in my mind that had the opponent been a Balrog rather than Morgoth that he alone out of all of the Elves (and even Gandalf) to have killed one would have walked away from the deed rather than be killed himself, if that is what he could do to Morgoth Bauglir.
@@Torstenn-b3x Lungorthin, the Thane of Morgoth, was twice the size of the Balrogs, such as Durin's Bane, and stood as a towering figure of 5 to 6 meters in full armor, much like Gothmog. Despite his immense stature, he was genuinely fearful of Glorfindel's wrath. Glorfindel swiftly cut off his whip, disarmed him, and shattered his shield. Then, he drove his sword into Lungorthin's belly. As the dark lord began to fall, he dragged Glorfindel down with him into the abyss.
Such an amazing story. How brave to travel into the heart of the dark lords territory to challenge him alone. Just like Frodo and Sam going into Mordor to complete their mission. I miss stories about bravery and courage.
@@TheCottageofLostPlay I've already seen it and it's so f***** amazing, i love it. So please, keep working! When i saw the first AI video about LOTR i said: Someone have to create an entired Silmarillion movie using AI! It's wonderful. THANK YOU, for real
Aww, my favourite moment... but you have left out the best part - Fingolfin naming Morgoth craven, and the fact that Morgoth wasn't exactly keen on the fight since he was the only Vala who knew fear, and went only not to lose face before his subordinates.
thanks! there are a lot of details i can´t include due to technology limitations, maybe someday i repeat it when i improve my knowledge and technologies work better
Great. The animation doesn´t fail to portray the full evil of Morgoth. I also like that you took different models for him, representing each artstyle he has been drawn
bruh why am i more excited to see more of this than any Tolkien-inspired works of late? with enough time you could do the whole legendarium, I'm really impressed.
What an epic moment in the Arda History, time stood still at the Iron Hill when Fingolfin stared down Morgoth, the fact, that Morgoth did not wanted to fight him tells you everything you need to know about the King of the Noldor.
You don't realise the difference between making an ai generated video and making a whole show based on so little detail from the og book. Still, Rop did really good
@@JACKAL98no it will be remembered as show with budget of billion dollar and based on story so rich can be destroyed by incompetent writers and directors.
This has always been my favourite passage from the Silmarillion, and Fingolfin my favourite character. Thanks you for doing it!! I had hoped for the Rings of Power to show this level of accuracy and respect for Tolkiens work but we didn’t get it.
This is so great. Ive read this story so many times and this is very similar to how ive pictured it in my mind. This is true to Tolkien and that is why it is close to the mental pictures it invokes
Morgoth came, climbing slowly from his subter-ranean throne, and the rumour of his feet was like thunder underground. And he issued forth clad in black armour, and he stood before the King like a tower, iron-crowned, and his vast shield, sable unblazoned, cast a shadow over him like a stormcloud. But Fingolfin gleamed beneath it as a star; for his mail was overlaid with silver, and his blue shield was set with crystals; and he drew his sword Ringil, that glittered like ice.
First of all, thankyou so much for making this video. Fingolfin is my favourite character in the Legendarium, This video is without a doubt 10/10. A single line should have been there, which could have possibly made it better. *I, Fingolfin, "Son of Finwe", High king* ..and all that tenious bollocks.
Love this story. Thank you for bringing this to life. It is way better than Rings of power. One question, maybe I am wrong, as I recall Fingolfin fell because of terrain created by Morgoth's hammer, not just because he was tired. When he fell, Morgoth stomp on him, and before Fingolfin died he stabbed him in his foot. But, thank you for your wonderful work
Thabks so much for your words! my stories will not be exactly the same for various reasons, length of the video, difficulty in adjusting certain AI images to the literal narration... but I will always try to get as close as possible. Again thanks so much!!
@@TheCottageofLostPlay You are welcome. Oh, I don't know how all that with AI is working, but I understand. Once again, thanks for bringing this to life, I enjoyed so much, and I am looking forward for the new videos
"Thrice he was crushed to his knees, and thrice he arose again and bore up his broken shield and stricken helm. But the earth was all rent and pitted about him, and he stumbled and fell backward before the feet of Morgoth; and Morgoth set his left foot upon his neck, and the weight of it was like a fallen hill. " It does make Fingolfin seem just a tad cooler in that the terrain messed him up, not just exhaustion.
Beautiful, I love the silmarillion and this short video really captures the might of the most valiant of all elves. This alone was better that the 2 season of RoP combined. Could you do one on the battle of unnembeted tears? I love that chapter!
One of the most iconic fight in 1st age, Fingolfin truly got some big balls to call out Morgoth out of his fortress for duel ( single combat), thank you for making this. I can't imagine AI did so much better than RoP crap
this channel is going to blow up! i mean this was so stunning it was almost like a trailer with the perfect music theme in the background too. So well done!!!
Theirs an artwork i used of fingolfin battling morgoth to help me fight depression and paranoia, its still emveddded in my head today. fingolfin is a true warrior!
Thank you for showing your love for Tolkien's lore by creating this video. You obviously took a lot of your time and put your energy into creating this. Its amazing and miles better than any mega budget production by Hollywood to adapt any story of Tolkien, when they have no reapect for even the fundamental aspects of Tolkien's story. Great job. Looking forward to see more of Silmarillion stories from your channel 💯
If you read the books , Morgoth actually was hesitant to come out , but he didn't want to embarass his fellow minions/followers, so he went out and met Fingolfin, yes the fight was brutal, Fingolfin died at the end, but Morgoth was wounded seven time by Fingolfin's sword Ringil, and ever since that day, he was limping because he couldn't fully recovered from that last wound stabbed on his foot.
@@TheCottageofLostPlay you did well in this video, I actually dont have any problem with it , am just adding some details, and yeah if you could have a much detailed version someday it would be great
Can only imagine how good this stuff will be in a few years, let alone a decade. I think we'll get a pretty decent versions of The Silmarillion eventually, with the help of AI
"His hopeless challenge dauntless cried Fingolfin there: 'Come, open wide, dark King your ghastly brazen doors! Come forth, whom earth and heaven abhors! Come forth O monstrous craven lord', and fight with thine own hand and sword, thou wielder of hosts of banded thralls, thou tyrant leaguered with strong walls, thou foe of Gods and elvish race! I wait thee here. Come! Show Thy Face!"
This happened during the 4th battle of Beleriand, the Battle of Sudden Flame, Lord Melkor surprise the elves, men & dwarves w/ a sudden attack w/ overwhelming force led by Glaurung the dragon, decimating the forces surrounding Angband & reducing the nearby lands to desert, so great was King Fingolfin's grief & rage that none dared stop him, either friend or foe, from dueling w/ Lord Melkor.
@@aldunlop4622 Well, he did f up with Hobbit films. And his other films were not that great either. People might need to realize that LotR trilogy was a anomaly that turned out the way it did because of a one in a million perfect alignment of every aspect of the film making, even with all of its production problems. You will hardly see something like that repeated, PJ or not.
I often think about why Tolkien’s universe has this effect. We find the same or similar deeds in the classical world, epic duels, Hector and Achilles, and who knows how much more. So why is this so passionate, so close? Well, I have always thought that the real reason is that Tolkien’s evil is an absolute evil, devoid of doubt, to be eradicated. Identifying with Fingolfin means being a hero of good, no second thoughts, no doubts. And I think this comes from Tolkien’s experience in the fields of the First World War, when the not certainty of an absolute evil on the opposite side shattered already destroyed motivations, when the oblivion of being just another dead man broke the dreams of everlasting glory. So, I think that in those moments, taking refuge in Arda was a real salvation.
Everything has been said in the comments, so i'll just Say this : Thank you for making this amazing vidéo. I'm just reading the silmarilon again and just past that glorious moment. Great work ❤
"His hopeless challenge dauntless cried Fingolfin there: 'Come, open wide, dark king, your ghastly brazen doors! Come forth, whom earth and heaven abhors!

I wait thee here. Come! Show thy face!' " - Lays of Beleriand, "The Lay of Leithian", Canto 12
Fingolfin was by far the most bad ass Elf of Middle Earth. Galadriel's uncle for those not steeped in the history of Middle Earth. Brother of Finarfin, Galadriel's father and half-brother of Feanor. Man, Tolkien had a way with words. If you ever get the chance to check out the Fall of Gondolin from Book of Lost Tales II, you will see some exciting page turner action like this all the way through.
It is said, after this, Morgoth forever hid in Angband and never dared to answer a duel or fight personally until the Valar came and smote him down.
He allready was unwilling to fight this duel and when the valar came he tried to hide
He forever hid from a duel. Just like Steven Seagal.
Until a big boi with booming laughter came to play.
To be fair no one else dared to duel him after this
Edit:Typo
@@IbsterLeipherusthey're acting like they were fools willingly wanted to duel him 😂
Lord of all the Noldor
A star in the night
And a bearer of hope
He rides into his glorious battle alone
Farewell to the valiant warlord
someone please put that song on this video

Yes Achilles, it was a most glorious sight indeed!

The Silmarillion should come with a free whiteboard, to map it out while you read.

But Fingolfin sprung aside, and Grond rent a mighty pit in the earth, whence smoke and fire darted. Many times Morgoth essayed to smite him, and each time Fingolfin leaped away, as lightning shoots from under a dark cloud; and he wounded Morgoth with seven wounds, and seven times Morgoth gave a cry of anguish, whereat the hosts of Angband fell upon their faces in dismay, and the cries echoed throughout the Northlands.

This happened during the 4th battle of Beleriand, the Battle of Sudden Flame, Lord Melkor surprise the elves, men & dwarves w/ a sudden attack w/ overwhelming force led by Glaurung the dragon, decimating the forces surrounding Angband & reducing the nearby lands to desert, so great was King Fingolfin's grief & rage that none dared stop him, either friend or foe, from dueling w/ Lord Melkor.
This is INCREDIBLE!
thanks a lot!!
Peter Jackson better not drop the ball with gollum movie cause I really need them to be given a green light to the first age stories 🙏
Yeah, please God, don't let PJ fuck it up.
@@aldunlop4622 Well, he did f up with Hobbit films. And his other films were not that great either. People might need to realize that LotR trilogy was a anomaly that turned out the way it did because of a one in a million perfect alignment of every aspect of the film making, even with all of its production problems. You will hardly see something like that repeated, PJ or not.
@@Wustenfuchs109 Oh his fucks up are nothing compared to the Rings of Power slop. At least they felt a bit like Tolkien.
My absolute favourite scene of all of Tolkien's Legendarium. Fingolfin literally challenged (and bloodied) an actual god.
thanks!
This looks amazing! I just started reading the silmarillion few days ago.
thanks so much! you have the ainulindale on my channel! soon part 2!
@@TheCottageofLostPlayyes I've watched it. Loved it! Need more😁
Fantastic, really great, so close to how I dreamed these epic passages... wow...
thanks a lot! more on my channel and tomorrow melhor and the trees!
Totally awesome, absolutely loved Silmarillion back in 2013❤
Thanks a lot!!
I often think about why Tolkien’s universe has this effect. We find the same or similar deeds in the classical world, epic duels, Hector and Achilles, and who knows how much more. So why is this so passionate, so close? Well, I have always thought that the real reason is that Tolkien’s evil is an absolute evil, devoid of doubt, to be eradicated. Identifying with Fingolfin means being a hero of good, no second thoughts, no doubts. And I think this comes from Tolkien’s experience in the fields of the First World War, when the not certainty of an absolute evil on the opposite side shattered already destroyed motivations, when the oblivion of being just another dead man broke the dreams of everlasting glory. So, I think that in those moments, taking refuge in Arda was a real salvation.
Tolkien did not believe in the idea of an absolute evil
@@gearben7553 You're right, he did not, as like as the most part of war veterans. I'm just saying his universe is devoid of this internal conflict
This short 4 minutes movie is more epic than a billion dollar series.
Who would have believed...
thanks a lot!
This was brilliant, subscribed and looking forward to more.
thanks so much! today first part of Beren and Luthien!

"His hopeless challenge dauntless cried
Fingolfin there: 'Come, open wide,
dark king, your ghastly brazen doors!
Come forth, whom earth and heaven abhors!
Come forth, O monstrous craven lord,
and fight with thine own hand and sword,
thou wielder of hosts of banded thralls,
thou tyrant leaguered with strong walls,
thou foe of Gods and elvish race!
I wait thee here. Come! Show thy face!' "
- Lays of Beleriand, "The Lay of Leithian", Canto 12
That 4:17 minutes of video is much much better than the Rings of Power

Fingolfin was by far the most bad ass Elf of Middle Earth. Galadriel's uncle for those not steeped in the history of Middle Earth. Brother of Finarfin, Galadriel's father and half-brother of Feanor. Man, Tolkien had a way with words. If you ever get the chance to check out the Fall of Gondolin from Book of Lost Tales II, you will see some exciting page turner action like this all the way through.
