  • The Dagor Dagorath or the Final Battle is an event described in the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, in which the forces of evil will wage a final battle against the forces of good, bringing an end to the world as we know it, so that a new one may be born.
    Dagor Dagorath is a sequel or epilogue to our previous short film "Ainulindalë".

      Your productions are amazing, thank you so much for sharing them.
      There's only one flaw: correct me if I'm wrong, but in Tolkien's mind, Arda is not supposed to be the Earth.This was suggested by Paul Kocher (ISBN 0140038779), not Tolkien himself.

      @@WillowProductions If you've read that then it was written by someone else not Tolkien. Tolkien made it clear in his own writings that in the beginnings, Arda was flat rather than a spheroid object. Up through the Second Age! It's during the fall of the Numenorians and the drowning of their island, that Lluvatar made the world a spheroid so that Aman and the West was taken away from mortals reach. You can't just extrapolate upon someone else's feelings in order to radically change what Tolkien actually wrote lmao. Anyways, great visuals... meh 😌

      For me it's both Turin and Feanor. It feels like they are part of a bigger cornerstone of the other characters. At least for me it was both Turin and Feanor who got the most screwed by Morgoth. Feanor with his Silmaril and family doom like a curse and Turin with his family doom. I truly hope that something is made out of this.

    I like how, once Melkor comes back, humanity just gets steamrolled immediately like they aren't even there. If you pay attention in the early parts of the video when Melkor arrives, at 1:50 that's an electrically lit-up city at the bottom of the screen... and about 3 seconds later, you've got a modern (or future) metropolis full of skyscrapers (festooned with communication antennae) going down. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't make jack shit of a difference how advanced mankind is or what sort of technology they've got - this isn't humanity's fight any more, it's out of mankind's league. This is the _war of the gods._ And after that humans don't even feature at all for the rest of the video, it's just full on gods vs gods. Really gives you a feel for the power level and unimaginable epicness of this battle. Well done.

    Feanor surrendering the Silmarils at last is the bit that chokes me up. You know how much those things mean to him, and how bitterly he must regret not doing it sooner. But the great thing is that he must still do it voluntarily. The Valar could take them from him by force - he doesn't even have them at this point! - but they still ask his permission and need it. Because they are the good guys.

    (Before I say this, just want to let everyone know that I loved the video, one of the best videos I've seen in my life!)
    I had no clue of how many people love Tolkien's work like I do.
    I love Lord of the Rings because my dad showed me the movies when I was 8. He died when I was 9, so it will all stick with me forever. He was the best person I have ever met, he suffered so much in his youth, but still, he made me as happy as he could, even tho we were only together until I was 9. I wish I could just see him at least one more time and thank him for everything, tell him that I'm proud of him and then hug him so much! That's why Lord of the Rings did such an impact in my life.
    Then, some years later, I watched the Hobbit, and after that, I started to search about Tolkien and Middle-Earth.
    Now I'm a huge fan of Tolkien and his works, I love everything he made, all the stories, just everything. I haven't read any of his books, but I'm planning on reading them soon.
    I also want to say that a big amount of the fans of Tolkien that I've seen are very formal in writings and like to talk with other people, be it about stories, life issues, anything. I'm still young so it's hard for me to find people like that in real life, so I'm looking for people like that around the Internet. People I could talk to, people who would understand me (not that my mother and friends don't, but it's different). So whoever reads this, I just want you to text me back if you would like to talk with me (with voices, please).
    Thank you for reading this. I don't usually talk about my father, so this is one of the few times I've done it. Sorry if there's some kind of orthographic mistake in my comment. That's because it's very late and I'm tired. I'm going to sleep now. Wish you all the luck and happiness to everyone who reads this and also to those who don't. From a happy human being, proud and thankful for his parents, and everyone else who knows what it really is like to love someone.

      There's two version of the story (either Eönwë greatest swordsman of the maiar or Turin with Gurthang delivers the final blow to Morgoth). Perhaps they didn't choose on purpose, seeing as both could be canonical and so just stuck to the wrestling match between Morgoth and Tulkas. Similarly, they didn't include the dwarven myth of awakening before the battle at Aulë's side and afterwards along side him forge the world anew (which should obviously happen).

    • @BjornWilliams
      @BjornWilliams 7 років тому +40

      Turin strikes the final blow but there should be plenty of fighting before it. Tulkas should do about half of it but ends up trapped somehow by devilry. Luthien should make Morgoth vulnerable to physical damage again through her song; Galadriel should almost be killed by him but narrowly escapes with Olorin and Melian's help. Varda should confront him at some point... the Simarillion states Melkor feared Elbereth most--as light is her joy and power! THEN Turin takes his sword and plunges it through the dark lord's chest.

    • @nathanc939
      @nathanc939 7 років тому +13

      Conrad Ramirez Turin is still one of the 3 fighting Morgoth right from the start and Morgoth feared his black sword just as much as he feared Turin himself.
      Do you happen to know what Ulmo is doing during the battle, because I can't remember and I remeber that at some point in the simarillion he is told to be the most powerful of the valars (Morgoth is no longer a valar at that point), second most powerful of all the ainurs so I guess he must be doing some important things.

    • @jackolantern147
      @jackolantern147 7 років тому +19

      Yeah, and was Sauron fighting in this? I think I saw him fighting a couple of times. He should be killed by Eonwe, the greatest of the maiar just like him.

    9:12 that looks just like a true representation of a black hole, as a hole in space would resemble a sphere. Just a side nitpick, but that was epic!

      Eru represents God in this and what he says to Melkor in the beginning explains why he let this happen ("Mighty are the Ainur and mightiest among them is Melkor, but that he may know and all the Ainur, that I am Illivatar, those things that ye have sung I will show them forth that ye may see what ye have done, and thou Melkor may know that no song may be played that hath not it's utter most souce in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite for he that attempth this shalt prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful that he himself hath not imagined") this is him saying to Melkor or in other terms (God saying to Lucifer/Satan) You can be an obstacle all you want but know that whatever evil you do works into My greater plan to make a world more wonderful than it could ever have been if none of this had happened and know that without my approval nothing can happen at all, without my approval no man could draw breath nor the Earth rotate around the sun everything that does happen comes back to Me.

    when you showed Eonwe, Tulkas and Turin, goosebumps overcame. Any battle with Tulkas is amazing imo but this is truly the most legendary battle in Tolkien's work, a battle of heroes. War of wrath is the best battle that has happened, Dagor Dagorath is the best battle out of all but obviously based on prophecy by Mandos. Regardless, it's amazing, and any battle with such great force on each side is just too good.

The door of night opening, the devastating of the modern world, the Valar towering over the battlefield as titans of light, and Turin literally punching Morgoth’s head off, were all stupendously epic. Especially Turin’s strngth of spirit being so great he was matching Morgoth in scale. But then Yavanna healing the world and Feanor atoning by giving over his Silmarils… that got me.
