War in Middle-earth - The First Battles of Beleriand 

This War in Middle Earth series was so good that I have decided to go back through and re-watch the entire thing for a second time now that the series has concluded. Absolutely fantastic content, looking forward to what's going to come next.

I really like how you do not just summarize the lore, but also give some analysis of Tolkien’s world and characters. There are thousands of lore videos on RU-vid, but hearing your take on character decisions and battle plans is far more interesting.

Imagine how it would be better for Morgoth to just escape from Valinor without killing High Elf king and stealing the Silmarils. No pursuit, destruction of the elven kingdoms and free reign in Middle-Earth. But no, he HAD TO have the trinkets.

Feanor was the ultimate badass , its sad he died too early in the legendarium .

“As the saying goes…. “ that part had me rolling. Dude I love your channel.

Thank you for a great video.

Honestly I like this channel more than "Geekzone" and "men of the west". You cover these vids like a historian would!

That was so frigging interesting. Great job~!

great work, iam listening to your serie while playing Divide and Conquer and it make the experience better, ty

Very nice, though I would expect Morgoth's armies to be far larger; Sauron was able to muster greater forces of orcs than described here at the end of the third age without having 3000 years and the second greatest fortress ever built to prepare.

Cool nice breakdown.

Best series on RU-vid

well done

Melkor was a fool he should have challenged the Valor to a dance off for the fate of Arda, you might think that is silly but he already had a sing off with them during the making of the music of the world.

That's better. Someone who delivers Tolkein's convoluted history in a matter of fact, light hearted way, and doesn't go 'all preachy' at the end. The map-work is more understandable, and giving some estimate of the size of the forces involved (albeit educated guesswork in some cases) makes our interpretation a lot easier.

"Morgoth was a ultimate crybaby" :D that a sentence worth highlighting ^_^

You should do a video on battles where Morgoth or Sauron won decisive victories. It would be a short video.

Trolls couldn't really take part in any battles before at least Battle of Sudden Flame. Officialy their first appearence in battle was during Nirnaeth Arnoediad but I believe they could have appeared during Dagor Bragollach

Digestible tidbits ! Thanks

Feanor: I'll go to Middlearth to have revenge, give me your ships or die 🤬🛳️🔥. Galadriel: haha butterfly stroke go brrrr 🏊‍♂️

Loved it

Maybe about Happiness: Arnica Flower powdered and eaten maybe is 1 way to try, because of grammar-statement of anger or sarcasm or "dont" not heeded or granted, the anger is different, like a shock, so this Flower is Important.

I'll never forget my absolute dissapointment of how Feanor died.. everything leading up to that moment lead me to believe he could and Should have 1V7 the Balrogs... I was a child when I started the Silmarillion and an adult by the time Feanor died... Damn Tolkien and his realistic depictions of his own made up world!!!

The song in the second half of the video sounds so familiar... Is it from a command and conquer game?

Jesus i didnt realize even through all the lore just how badly the noldor mop up morgoths forces when they arrive

Now let me introduce you... MORGOTH, a guy that can commit theft, regicide and vandalism all in one go xD

✶✶✶Noldorian king with severe anger issues goes BRRR✶✶✶ xDDDD, Melko great vala, poor shrink xDDDDDD

Darth Gandalf advising me to heed Gandalf’s words... I am confused.

I'm asuming as punishement that Feaner has to wait for a long time in the halls of Mandos for a new body, was he still waiting even untill LOTR, what do you think? And is it written anywhere about his fate?.

Wow that mic change

Great job, a little to fast.

Music was to loud

If only the green elves bought some armor from the dwarves that they shared borders with lol

thoughts: 1- battle under the stars: can you even visualize all these events with no other source of light? 2- why would the elves in "paradise" ever need to learn fighting skills? they didnt and yet reaching Middle earth they still were superior to Melkor´s army 3- looks like Melkor, like Sauron, just hoped that the ainur didnt interfere. and they would likely be justified in doing so since their lack of action is the source of most problems and stories in the legendarium. Should Melkor ever guess that the ainur would let the noldor leave aman?
