The Tolkien estate should only allow Peter Jackson or some group that is loyal to the lore to make movies about the Silmarillion. Otherwise some big Hollywood studio will make another abomination out of Tolkiens work like Amazon did.
@@raedenjayAnd every LOTR *hero* was shrunken so as to be "relatable" and to facilitate a shoehorned-in "character arc". Silmarillion is ALL larger-than-life Über-Persons. The only adaptation it lends itself to is really great full-color calendars. (my $.02)
In the question of 'wisdom'... we think of wisdom as a positive trait, similar to morality. In the LOTRs this is not the case. At one point Gandalf states of Sauron that "he is very wise". Wisdom is more a trait akin to having a great memory. Neither good or bad, just a tool. Wisdom is the ability to "judge all things to a nicety" as Gandalf observed.
It is my contention the all the great rings granted the wearer invisibility. I support this as the One ring is well known for its power to give invisibility, and the Nine also had this power as related in the Silmarillion in the chapter 'The Rings of Power'. This would explain how Gandalf could sneak in and out of Dol Guldur twice. What do you Think?
I don't really agree. Invisibility was not what The One Ring did, remember it was only meant for Sauron and for no one else. Also the Rings of Power are very different from The One - it was meant to control them - it is not just a better version of them. Elrond is not invisible, nor is Galadriel or Gandalf. Gandalf was definitely not invisible when he went to Dol-Guldur, Sauron knew he was coming and made himself scarce both times. The Nazgúl are not invisible due to their rings (which Sauron had taken from them prior to the events of The Lord of the RIngs) but because they bodies had died and withered to nothing, they were anchored to the world by their rings, which Sauron held. What The One Ring does when on hands other than Sauron's is draw that person into a spiritual realm. Sauron is already in this realm and has a fana (fake body) to show to others. Bombadil is a spirit as well and is not affected by it. Gandalf would be, as he is incarnated into a hroa (real body) The Nine are invisible because they are wraiths, not because of their rings.
Perhaps you should have another look at the Silmarillion. It states that the wearers of the nine rings could "walk unseen if they wished'. This was while they were still in mortal form, long before they became wraiths. Also, I do not think Sauron took the nine rings from the Nazgul since it is said by Gandalf in the Fellowship at the council of Elrond "The nine the Nazgul keep". As far as Elrond, Galadriel and Gandalf not being invisible all the time, this is because they had mastered the rings they wore. You may recall that Galadriel's ring was unseen unless she wanted it to be seen. Only Bilbo, Frodo and Bombadil ever wore the One Ring in the books. Bombadil was his own master and the hobbits never tried to master the One so it made them invisible whenever they put it it on.@@John-Sierra
@@Tuatha_De_Gaming On what do you base this opinion? Both Bilbo and Frodo became invisible whenever they put on the ring and not always because they needed to escape anything. Oh my mistake. Gollum also wore the One.
You are doing a great job and certainly deserve more subscribers. I wish you a speedy journey to 500.
Will you ever do a video on some of ur favorite head cannon or ur head cannon theories?
Subscribed! What is the awesome back ground music. Thanks! I never knew Unfinished Tales had stories with Gandalf and Frodo
The music in this one is by Kevin Macleod, who is an extremely talented composer that only requires credit, you should check him out for sure.
Great video.
So Eru "separated the Flame Imperishable from himself" ... like Sauron separated part of himself to create The Ring?! Hmmmm....
Wondering your thoughts on the ent wives haven’t seen if you’ve talked about them in other videos yet but I have a theory I think is plausible
I think we're not meant to know, but if I had to guess, they were probably brought down to near extinction levels and any survivors became "tree-ish"

Nice channel! Glad to help with your watch hours
Much appreciated!

The Silmarillion is such a bummer I don't know how successful such a production would be.
I LOVE the LOTR movies but it’s debatable to say that Peter Jackson was faithful to the lore. The overall story perhaps but soooooo much was changed

I think it is a positive trait, but not similar to morality. Sauron can have a positive trait such as Wisdom and still be evil.

@@brianofphobos8862 It didn't give Sauron invisibility. It gave those who needed to escape invisibility.

It's not opinion. It's fact from the books@@brianofphobos8862
