They left Middle Earth to create AI models so creators don't need to create, so much as they tell the AI what to make for them. Then, the pseudo creators post the Wraith content online to make money. Then people block the ads so they don't get any of Smaug's gold...making sure to cut out less than 10 seconds in for good measure against the algorithms favoring the channel in any way.
If you actually read the book sauron was not even that powerful he just had an ambitious mind to rule. There are a lot of being more darker and more evil but they don't think the other realm was an importance to rule or conquer.
How does the invisibility of the rings work? Why does Frodo's clothing become invisible but not the Nazgûl's clothing? What happens if Frodo has a sword in his hand and puts on the ring? What if he picks up a sword from the ground while wearing the ring? If Frodo makes everything he touches invisible, why doesn't he make the ground invisible, given that hobbits don't wear shoes?
I've often wondered,why frodo succumbed to the ring in 8yrs cause it was 7yrs before gandalf returned on discovering Bilbo's ring was the ring of power and just under a year from leaving till it was destroyed and Bilbo had it so many yrs and wasn't totally under its control,and I'm sure in those long yrs Bilbo used more times than frodo,just a thought
I have always thought the rings in the end failed. The Seven may have weakened the Dwarves, but it also caused the Dwarves to fear Sauron. The Nazgul were powerful, but their terror limited their power among the living.
Theres three kinds of knowledge; the known, the unknown and the unknowable. Gandalf the known, the balrog the unknown and the nameless things are the unknowable
That AI voice is annoying it can't even pronounce some words properly 🤦🤷 If it is a real man tell him to go learn English pronunciation before he makes another video. I got annoyed by that AI voice after two minutes. It took me longer to write this 🤣🤢🤮💩
Once the One Ring was destroyed the surviving 8 Nazgul's rings lost power like the 3 and the 7 and as they had lived far far beyond their mortal years they died and likely crumbled to dust, it cannot be known if they felt anything in the moment between being freed and dying.
Meh, a lot of overthinking here. Most of the quotations are, in the best traditions of storytelling, teeing-up the Balrog for his grand entrance. All this talk of other, malevolent forces ignores that Moria was repopulated under Durin VII and held until dwarves ended. Sure, the Nameless things, they're alluded to entities, but their influence on the narrative is being overstated.
The rings handed to men allowed Sauron to control them, but is there any evidence that to a certain extent the influence went both ways? Did Sauron accept any desires from the former kings of men?
The answer I think is yes at least in the case of the Witch-King. The Witch-King failed at Angmar-yes he destroyed Arnor, the Line of the Kings survived, and somehow this was not told to Sauron.
@@johnfleet235 Thank you. That is interesting. The reason I asked about the relationships with the ring was "the seeing stones." Sauron could tell who was using them and Gandalf mentioned they were not all accounted for. I thought the same could account for the rings.
I think you might be wrong, Gandalf 's metaphysical journey wasn't in the bowels of the earth. He fell with the Balrog into the Abyss, chased it to the peak, and then fought it, falling with it as they destroyed the mountain. Then his spirit travelled to Valinor and was sent by the Valar as Gandalf the white.
Tolkien was one of the best storytellers of all time, and he used all kinds of techniques to keep the reader’s attention. By creating an enigma he triggered the reader’s own imagination to figure out what this could be. Something so scary that you can’t even talk about and that doesn’t have a name sounds really frightening. People tend to be afraid of the unknown. Compare it to the clickbait you will find on internet today. An other enigma is Tom Bobadill. Who or what is he. He is not evil and is a side note in the story of the rings and the simarillion. Again it triggers the reader’s imagination4. Maybe that is the intention of these enigmas in the first place. Compare it to a pretty girl in a tiny bikini. She looks more sexy in that bikini that hardly covers anything than she would if she was butt naked. Your imagination fills out the blanks and makes it more interesting. A more family friendly alternative is Donald Duck and his friends. Normally they walk around without pants and looks dressed, but when they go to the beach they put on old style bathing suits and looks undressed. Again your brain is playing tricks on you. Tolkien had a whole arsenal of tricks he used in his storytelling.😅😅😅
Maybe they are older in the sense that they have been longer on Arda. The Ainur sung Arda into creation, including the nameless things (or as a byproduct of the discord), and descended into Arda after they were already created. So they are older in that sense.
I like the idea that there are creatures, or beings, that remain mysterious and unexplained. Deconstructing every last detail of the world would rob it of mystery - and by extension, enjoyment.
So true. I love lovecraftian horror and i cant help but think this was tolkien's nod to him. Im so fascinated with the nameless things and a part of me would love to see SOMETHING that gives us an idea of what they are but youre right. In some cases, the questions are better than answers especially when it comes to ancient agents of darkness and destruction
@@rjzavala87 Amen to that! I've been watching a few video essays on the Nameless Things. It's a very compelling concept! One of them cited one of Tolkien's letters - in which he stated that not everything in the world needed explaining. Ungoliant, Shelob, the Watcher, the Nameless Things - I LOVE the idea that there were dark powers that even Morgoth and Sauron didn't touch!
Just wait Amazon will give it a name and make it some fat gross Yass Queen of diverse colors of a rainbow. It'll be god awful and it'll make you thankful there are channels like this and geeks&gamers heels vs Babyface nerdrotic for destroying brain cells watching the slop to let us know it's worse then we thought it ever could be.
11:13 Might you have misspoken? Gandalf pursued the Balrog deep into the roots of Earth where they might have encountered the Nameless Things but they duelled all the way up to the peaks where he defeatd & threw Balrog down. Gandalf is fully spent & after that, passes out, awaiting his judgment, really unable to do anything mor, let alone journey again through the deepest places?
The fact that the Witch King wielded powers as a man, but then became a wraith and could tap into the power of the celestial realms, unbound by the limitations of a mortal vessel, is why he was a challenge to someone even as mighty as Gandalf. He never could have become a Dark Lord of his own, however, because he no longer possessed his own will. Sauron always had a will of his own, even when he once served Melkor.
I’ve always liked your content . You’re explained things that I would never even have considered , much less noticed. Honestly , I couldn’t understand the criticism leveled at you. Looking forward to your videos and wishing you great success. 😊
