Sauron Creates The Witch King Of Angmar Scene 4K ULTRA HD Action 

@@marcoslaureano5562 Middle Earth: Shadow of War

Absolutely fantastic work and I sometimes wish it was cannon cause it feels so much more Tolkien. Loved these cut scenes.

Its cannon for media imo

@@nathanhendrickson3868 It is easy to see the love, passion, and hardwork that you and your team pored into these cinematics. Thank you! And well done!

Is there anything you can say about the light that is clearly meant to be Celebrimbor escaping the death of Sauron? Is this a hint for a sequel still to come or have such plans fallen through? Anything you can say?

There used to be people there, in the books they are refered to as the slaves of Nurnen; at the end of the War of the Ring, Gonder gave them that land to keep for themselves.

That's what Rings of Power is saying.

@@japhysnacks “the sea is always right” 🤓

Obviously. The Southlands became Mordor, of course he had to fight for it. That is canon.

for me is canon

Everything in the bar Shelob was great, idk why they decided to make her a mortal woman and not just her normal canon Giant Spider body;but the game was good. Also fuck these scamming bots in the comments

Well said

Even the amazing Peter Jackson films departed from Tolkien's work in some big ways but it was always honest. They made Aragorn reluctant to rule to help with the kind of character arc most movie goers like. But they never meddled to inject their own messages (like rings of power making numenor full of trump rallies) and agendas into it.

@@j.a.6310 true, while the Jackson films are not 1to1 perfect adaptations of the books they at least do a good job of conveying the messages and portraying the majority of the story. And like this game it also honored the lore of the series.

Respect to you Sir we should forget the heresy even exist

Yes

Celebrimbor can. He is an anomaly. Would not doubt he is son of elf and a maia.

Not only that but Sauron also has a mind that has gazed at the Timeless Halls before the universe was made. Also, Sauron’s iron will is one of his greatest strengths, the notion that a man and an elf can _enslave_ that is quite ridiculous to be honest.

Morgorth was pretty far from an anarchist 🤣

@@the1andonlytitch I think he was using humor but yeah, calling Melkor a mere anarchist is an over-simplification that I think comes from the notion of him spreading chaos (often associated with anarchy). Melkor’s whole philosophy towards basically everything is more closely tied to this: “if it can’t be bent to my will completely and utterly then it must be completely and utterly destroyed”.

@@yashabreslove8276 Why do they all say Skyrim?

Not really. Isildur and helm hammer hand being a Nazgûl, how Sauron became the flaming eye really put a dent on the story

@@Pablojunior2006 that's true. calling it trash would be too nice. it's a soulless, money grabbing, pseudowoke shitfest with mostly terrible actors and even worse directing from start to finish

@@whocaresthanks wel i buy us time against sauron, soooooo a little?

@@marcoflorian5182 Lol just an opportunity for a LP ref.

Why couldn’t ROP be as good?

lol

Kudos

Lmaooo this is the best comment ever

10/10

ROP ain't that bad

This is why fanfiction isn’t inherently bad, provided it is acknowledged as such. There can be bad fanfiction and good fanfiction. This is an example of the pretty good stuff.

its because of the visual looks and epicness is similar to lotr movies...costumes etc. while the Amazon series is pathetic and different

This is more like what rings of power could’ve or should’ve been….

Series so bad?

@@Hadriantheemperorofrome And more true to Tolkien's theme. The movies and games turned it into a loud-style action thriller, but the books were written way more like fairy tales and myths. Tbh, Tolkien would have probably despised every adaptation of his work so far.

i mean according to game our hero slowed Sauron for few hundred years thats got to count for something

​@@caesarczech7920 Yeah, if for not Talion Sauron would've invaded much much earlier, winning the war pretty easily.

@@caesarczech7920 *decades

@@tylerellis9097 60 years, to be precise

60 years in the book continuity or the movie continuity. In the movies its the year 3019 so its 60 years from that correct?​@NiCoNiCoNiCola

I mean it doesnt seem impossible, only issue is making gameplay people would enjoy, especially if you played as someone like Frodo who was pretty weak. You cant make him exactly a Talion.

$3.78 isnt enough for a full fledged game bud :sadcat:

Yeah except it would be packed with modern diversity, equity and inclusion (antiwhitism) and frodo would be a gay trans

I would dedicate 1000 hours minimum and live in a trailer lol

​@@jayc4019Libtards when they realize lotr doesn't have one non white character (it's a dream world)

I think the point is that WK gave himself to Sauron completely - he was never anything more than a tool. This gave him great power but beyond that there was nothing left of him.

That's actually the fact I like the most since we have no idea as to his origins while others we know they were kings/leaders of men.

@@mooses44 we know that he was king in the Angmar between wars of the ring

@@Fortify2030 I meant you don't know who he was or where he came from or what he did before he fell, others are hinted to be lords and kings.

@@mooses44 I don't remember from what source, but there were some hints in the lore, that he wasn't a king (or chieftain) during his lifetime, unlike other Nazguls. But he became after the first war of the rings. He created powerful kingdom in the north Angmar and some considered him as a successor of Sauron. It makes even more interesting to understand his origin.

And then you get something like Lord of Ring: Gollum. That was most certainly not very high quality

callback to the hobbit scene where theshape of a fire (dol guldur attack) is like the shape of Sauron with battle armor.

A game where you play as a nazgul would be great!

@@bojangles4398i honestly think that’s what desolation of Mordor should have been Nazgûl talion fighting for Sauron

​@@bojangles4398Elteriel dlc hinted for a sequel

HAHA!

the yellows are a result of corruption from the ring just like in star wars when a jedi turns to the dark side the iconic yellow eyes of sith show

@@alejandrochairez5134 nah its cos he was mutated to fite monstehr

A Witcher!

Same

Tbh the fact that talion could beat the witch King or that celebrimbor could rival sauron kinda dilutes the importance in the events of tlotr

@@finndevenny4564 5:34

@@finndevenny4564 fan fiction is like that

@@finndevenny4564 I mean it's not like the witch king has the best w/l ratio, he just has a habit of not dying

That’s not difficult to be fair

@@hardatworktom2244now now let’s not downplay this game, it was pretty awesome

I think the consensus is that LOTR fans do not like the show for a variety of meaningful reasons and those who do like it have not read the books or were not children, teenagers or adults when the original trilogy came out. Fans of the show probably use alot of tumblr and write alot of fanfiction and thats how Amazon got the idea to give into fan service at the expense of great story telling

Amen to That 😑😒.

Lol kind of a low bar 😂

He didnt have a body

@@chrispekel5709 he did

@@elpsykoongro5379 if he had a body in Jackson's films why did we never see Sauron's physical form? The closest was when Aragon saw the projected future with Sauron wearing the ring when he used the Palantier (sp?) When Saruman is communicating with Sauron all we see is flames akin to the way he was also presented in the Hobbit movies (as a kind of ghost spirit) They also changed the final fight outside the black gate from Sauron into a troll. I thought it was pretty clear in the films that he needs to get the ring back to where his spirit is (in the tower) before he can become physical again. Feel free to argue of course

​@@chrispekel5709 he did have a body

@@chrispekel5709 they don’t make it clear because just having the eye makes him more threatening because we don’t know how he actually looks, and I can see you have never read the books, that’s fair but Tolkien does say he had a physical form, he just didn’t wanted to get out from the tower mainly because he was afraid, also it took 4 years to get him out of the tower in the war of the last alliance

hello which lotr's game is the clips from? thanks

@@petruis2 Shadow of War, the sequel to Shadow of mordor.

Bro, the NAzguls looks like SHIT tho...

Lol Sauron already fell for that move. This is still the third age

@Radical Centrist God Not just fight on physically either, but fight against the corrupting power of the direct link to sauron he carried on his finger for literal decades. The man sacrificed everything, including his soul, to protect a world that no longer held anyone he loved within it. If we want to extrapolate his situation with a deeper understanding of Tolkien lore, the fact that he fell body and soul to darkness in the end means he doesnt really know whether he would share the same fate as men of the light would. For all he knew he was sacrificing any chance of seeing his wife and son in whatever lay beyond death. My head Canon is that Eru himself stepped in at the moment of Talion's true death, and personally ripped his soul back from the darkness. No other man, and possibly no other living being of the light, had sacrificed so much and for so long to protect Eru's creation. Dude deserved a reward. Personally, Talion's story is Canon to me, because his story is just so damn good.

18 hours in and I'm not enjoying the story of the first game to be honest, apart from the unnecessary lore changes I'm having problems getting into it. Feels like memento + lord of the rings. You have no idea why you have those powers and who Celebrimbor is, why is he bound to you, what happened in the past, etc. I was constantly asking questions that were never answered. I'm going to skip the rest if things don't get better and just hack and slash straight to the endgame.

@@JesusProtects its not canon, so try not to think too much on it, and rather enjoy it as its own story! I do agree the story and characters in shadow of mordor are a bit dry, but you come to appreciate everything about the games, learning the lore, all will be answered the more you play through, cheers

I can name 5 more depressing. And I think a lot of it is actually quite inspiring.

@@JesusProtects shadow of mordor is shiet shadow of war is great

The witch king was a great sorcerer or a great king of Numinor. His history is unknown to all.

@@grahamwillis585 Numenorians were part of human race, subspecies if you like (like Hobbits). They were Men (as opposed to Elves or Orcs), so he's not wrong.

@@Fantasma98 At the moment shareholders and such seem to be in control of everything and they demand immediate quick payouts with the absolutely lowest amount of investment.

What’s the game called

@@lunar3313 seriously ? Shadow of War

The gameplay just by itself is amazing. Story was decent but nemesis system was what made it so replayable. The music/sound design was good too. The thing that makes it remotely a bad game was the horrendous microtransactions that ruined multiplayer and single player too when the gane released. Luckily it hasen't been like that for years so its a 8/10 game now imo.

No, let's not. Its a good game but would obliterate any semblance of consistency in the themes and lore of tolkeins works

@@patrickroth3321 That is your opinion, I am of a different mind, that this could fit in there as an unfinished tale or something of the sort.

@@GMHD777 isn't that almost the definition of non Canon?

@@GMHD777 (I really like the game too) 😊😊

@@bedhunter not really.a lot of people consider the silmarilion and unfinished tales canon. I think in the end we all have our own version of lotr.

it won't be as fun, what would you do as Sauron? He's too powerful to be interesting to play as.

​@@LeoStep93he wants sauron to use stealth and archery

Wouldn't work. Sauron basically just plots and schemes in the shadows while sending the Nazgul and orcs/uruks to do his bidding lol

@@johnwayne-kd1pn seriously.

Why?

@@jakespacepiratee3740 I love the Middle Earth universe and follow the "rings of power" series. But while watching this short animation, I felt more excitement. Just my own opinion.

@@tinkabb I felt excited watching this video too but i had no idea what is going on.

@@jakespacepiratee3740 The serie is a bit silly.

I bet you're a real hoot at parties.

Well yeah, that's what any story on a grand scale is, when you get rid of all the things that make it unique. Star Wars? Well once you get around the idea of blasters, spaceships, the force, or rebelling against an evil empire it's just another warfare story between different clans of people.

its canonical he could shape shift and it was one of his appearance back in a day he used this form while i think his time in numenor, he was called "anatar"- gift master, it was his most beautifull shape, while looking like that it was easier for him to manipulate minds cause of beauty and might of this version

Although Sauron knew that Men were easier to sway, he sought to bring the Elves into his service, as they were far more powerful. By about SA 1500, Sauron put on a fair visage and called himself Annatar, the "Lord of Gifts". The Unfinished Tales tells us that Annatar assumed the guise of an emissary of the Valar "anticipating the Istari".[16] In other words, he said that he was a Maia who had been sent from Valinor had once been in the service of the Valar Aulë.

Agreed lol🙏
