@Hundredyacrewoods Год назад

Any depiction of Morgoth or the Silmariles on screen would be disappointing Even if you got the team from The Lord of the Rings movies, gave them all the time in the world (unlike The Hobbit), it would still be disappointing, it still would not depict the full Evil of Morgoth or the Holy Beauty of the Gems with any satisfaction. They are divine, any depiction will dispoint, same for the Queen of Doriath (can't remember her name) and Sauron. Only Howard Shore would come close, only music could depict it with any satisfaction. Which might explain why the only real adaptation of the Silmarillon is an Opera.

@timcarpenter2441 Год назад

@@Hundredyacrewoods I appreciate your view. It is Melian, and Cate Blanchett is already taken! I agree very few actors could do this. They would need to be early middle age and classically trained on the stage with the baseload of a string of nuclear power stations. That goes for all the leads.

Great video! Nerd of the Rings' next video should be about Huan the Hound. His aid in assisting Beren and Luthien during their quest for the silmaril would be crucial in bringing down Morgoth and his sacrifice during his fight with Carcharoth would ensure that Beren and Luthien's sacrifice would result in their descendants becoming great kings, warriors, and healers for thousands of years.

That episode of the werewolf who kept killing Beren's companions one by one while they were imprisoned is definitely based on the imprisonment and torture of Sigmund, a hero from the Old Norse Völsung Saga, whose brothers were killed off by a she-wolf until he was freed. Like Beren, Sigmund too wore a wolf skin for some time (although idk why). But it does reflect Tolkien's knowledge on these stories

@neilbakshi7365 Год назад

Really interesting parallel between Carcharoth and Sauron's "fell beasts" of the Third Age! Never saw that connection, because the texts are so far apart. As a side note, this piece about werewolves eventually slides into a retelling of Beren and Luthien...given that so much of Tolkien's mythology is interconnected, it might be better to focus each video on one subject, even if that means making it shorter. Otherwise, you run into the problem of retreading the same ground as other videos. That's a small quibble -- your videos are amazing, keep it up!

@TarMody Год назад

Sauron's title of Lord of the Werewolves seems to have originated when he, like them, belonged to the felinetrovert family and was known by the name Tevildo (as noted in Tolkien's earlier drafts). Werewolves may be derived from the wolf type (a sub-creation of Yavanna) among the instinct-driven kelvar. It is possible that Sauron gave these wolves a humanoid form by bodily transformation, and evil spirits may have incarnated into these transformed bodies. They differ from the Wargs in their physical and spiritual aspects. Wargs are malevolent creatures that have been transformed from wolves (but not given a humanoid form like werewolves) and have no will (without a soul).

I always assumed that werewolves mentioned in the Silmarillion were just a placeholder name for large wolf-like beings and Tolkien later changed his mind and decided to call them wargs, accidentally missing a few references to the original name, however that line from Gandalf where he mentions both in the same sentence does give me pause.

@schlieffenman957 Год назад

Actual question here: we've established Wargs, Werewolves, and "wolves", which appear to be unlike actual, real life wolves. I ask: are there actual, normal wolves in Tolkien's world, separate from the brutish, terrifying wolves and wargs we see in Middle Earth? In the Fellowship of the Ring film, we see a black dog barking at one of the black riders when it's looking for Baggins. Is that dog domesticated from plain wolves like in real life, or from one of those "wolves" of middle earth? I don't like to think that all wolves in Middle Earth are evil since real wolves are kind, brave, respectable animals, the sort of traits that Tolkien attributes to horses and other animals in the books.

@sebastianstammer9265 Год назад

the thing is that wolves fit more with the evil stereotype than the good one. Only duality in which wolves can mix well with the good forces are usually in order vs chaos themes,but in most cases having fangs and being balck/grey makes them a better fit for evil.

@josephfisher426 Год назад

Middle-Earth as depicted is heavily colored by Britain as it existed in the 18-1900s. In official records the last wolf on the island was killed in 1680... so the presentation of wolves would naturally tend toward the metaphorical. There aren't any cats at all either way after the initial roots of the Beren and Luthien story...

@anotherhuman8173 Год назад

Let's think about this for a minute: Huan overpowered First Age Sauron 1v1. 1st Age Sauron is more powerful than 3rd Age Sauron, because his power is still undivided: the equivalent of 2nd Age Sauron with the Ring. Yet even in his weakened state, 3rd Age Sauron was easily the most powerful being in Middle-Earth. Not even Gandalf or Galadriel could face him head-on. Also, it's implied that Carcharoth is more powerful than Glaurung himself: "Of all the terrors that came ever into Beleriand ere Angband's fall, the madness of Carcharoth was the most dreadful, for the power of the Silmaril was hidden within him." First Age power levels are pretty insane.

They teach their youngs to hunt to survive and fight to defeat threats to their packs. I used this for a isekie book i write for fun and theyre given with their new lord lands to build their camps and have united the survivors of all clans under his grand magic empire. This lord even created them a small army of giant wolf beasts that he calls the great wolves that are created for one purpose. To serve his will and protect the his allies in the wild woods. The main werewolf character is called neith who becomes the leadef of the new wolf faction and serves directly under her lord and is eternaly loyal to him.

I love werewolf lore in general. I just hate how they are almost always depicted as evil. Wolves are noble creatures

Sauron is so bad ass and lost because gollum and frodo were fighting for the ring and gollum falls into the fire

@Paulafan5 Год назад

People wonder why Mount Doom wasn't guarded, but that's because no one could have the strength to willingly put the Ring into the fires of Mount Doom. Even Frodo, who was incredibly resistant to the Ring, couldn't do it intentionally. Also, the pity of Bilbo saved Middle Earth.

@istari0 Год назад

@@Paulafan5 Mordor was very heavily guarded. Getting into it and to Mount Doom required exceptional skill and the distraction by the Army of the West. Beyond that, yes Sauron saw no need to guard the entrance to Mount Doom; it wouldn't even have occurred to him.

@istari0 Год назад

It's more than that. Gollum swore an oath to help Frodo and later betrayed that oath. Oath-breaking in Middle-Earth always has seriously bad consequences. In this case, after finally getting the One Ring back, Gollum slipped and fell into the volcano.

Whoaaaa I can’t believe I’ve never thought about this, Aragorn and Arwen could be spiritual reincarnations of Beren and Luthien, as he hints at 11:10. Their stories are waaay too similar to be a coincidence

@istari0 Год назад

There's no such reincarnation in Tolkien's Legendarium. Upon death, Men briefly go to the Halls of Mandos and then go beyond the Circles of the World, never to return. Elves spend a much longer time in the Halls of Mandos and are eventually re-embodies as the same Elf they were before.

@johnjohnson7259 Год назад

@@istari0 what if Mandos deemed Beren to be worthy of returning to middle earth? Maybe he sensed Beren would be needed or his deeds were not quite done. And for Arwen, she is literally a striking resemblance of Luthien, they’re pretty much the same person

@istari0 Год назад

@@johnjohnson7259 The Gift of Men, that after death they travel beyond the Circles of the World, comes from Eru Ilúvatar and only he could ultimately allow Beren to be resurrected. He then lived a second mortal life, died, and passed beyond the Circles of the World. Lúthien Tinúviel was given the choice of remaining an immortal being and living in Valinor or returning to Middle-Earth and living a mortal life with Beren. She chose the 2nd option and so also died and passed beyond the Circles of the World. Arwen was Lúthien's great-great-granddaughter so the family resemblance is not unusual.

Sauron could have beaten the great hound but he had to go against that other female elf that was helping the hound in the fight against Sauron.

In The Fellowship of the Ring, when the Fellowship is trying to cross through the Misty Mountains and make their way to Moria, aren’t they attacked by Werewolves? In the story, the Fellowship fends them off in the middle of the night but in the morning when Legolas goes to retrieve his arrows, they’re described to be found lying on the ground and not in the bodies of the wolves. Although the story describes the creatures as wolves, Gandalf makes a statement saying that these wolves are different as none of their bodies were found. In my opinion, this seems to indicate that they were attacked by werewolves sent by Sauron instead of normal wolves and when they were killed by Legolas’s arrows, their bodies disappeared as the spirits within them were freed.
