Morgoth could over power all rings to his will. You forget he is second or 3 in line of how powerful he is.

I dont think Morgoth would have any side affects from the One Ring. MORGOTH would mold and over power the ring to his own will. Just like he did to Sauron.

No one brought up Gil-Galad and Elendil. Even if you throw in Elrond, Cirdan (not sure what they did exactly)and Isildur (the corpse looter) that isn't a lot of warriors against a minor god. And Sauron had the ring at that time. Sauron is extremely dangerous but he isn't invincible. Even at the end of the 3rd age you could probably get enough good elves and men, maybe even some dwarves, to take down Sauron. Of course he is diminished without the ring so Sauron's real power is that no one can get to him. Probably because he doesn't have a great record at 1 v 1.

Dragons are typical examples of Melkor's evil sub-creations that reflect his destructive nature as a requirement of his nihilistic structure. I believe that after Melkor acquired the Silmarils, he built their spiritual structures with a synergistic incarnation of Silmarils might and his own spiritual power, and thus gave them a kind of free will. Otherwise, how can we explain their ability to perform activities that require high-level cognitive abilities such as performing magic, developing strategies and tactics on the battlefield, applying psychological manipulation on the beings he targeted, and especially how Glaurung first appeared on the battlefield by making decisions without Melkor's permission? I believe that the dragons' attachment to gold (within the scope of this theory) comes from Laurelin (since the light of Laurelin and the light of gold element are in the same region of the electromagnetic spectrum) and that Melkor's will is mostly found in the gold element in Arda.

In Moria, it is normal for the Balrog to sense Gandalf's presence. Similarly, it is theoretically possible that the Balrog could sense the presence of the One Ring, which was created by a spiritual incarnation of a being (Sauron) of the same species (Maia), and be drawn to it. However, the One Ring cannot affect the Balrog unless the One Ring is willing to change its bearer, and especially unless the Balrog, as a being without the desire for power and domination, desires the event of the One Ring's possession.

Witch King couldn't see Gandalf, dude ran from Glorfindel and Gandalf in essence is stronger then him.

I hate these chatgpt videos

No info about the actual battle????? That's why I watched 🤦‍♂️💥

When the witch king died, his body(hroa) all atrophied, his spirit(fea) corrupted by compacts made with Sauron, wearing of his ring, was he denied the promise of Eru to all men(edain)? Upon the demise of first Sauron (mairon) then Saruman(Curumo) their bodies spent, great dark smoke billowed up reaching out towards Valinor, 'then from out of the west a strong wind blew' & they were dissipated their fea doomed to wander, unable to reform their hroa in middle earth. It is difficult to work out whether their fea roam in middle earth or the void all unembodied. The question must be with Tolkien's strong faith, would both Nienna & Mandos have understood the utter domination of Sauron allowing to pass the fea of the witch king unto Eru for his spiritual recombination with the one?

Why was saruman stronger than gandalf? Was he maiar also?

Balrogs are Maiar who are drawn to Melkor by tuning their tunes to his tune during the performance of the Music of the Ainur. Sauron (Mairon) is a Maia who descended to Arda as a result of Eru realizing the vision of Arda and therefore joined Melkor's side after the Balrogs. While the Balrogs were deeply attached to Melkor to serve him unconditionally due to their status in music, they were on his side from the beginning, and Sauron later joined him because he realized that he had the potential to realize his own ideal more effectively under Melkor's service. Essentially, Melkor is a tool for Sauron to realize his ideal. This is the most fundamental factor that distinguishes Sauron from the Balrogs. While Sauron acts with the ideal of maintaining order, which is the motivation that comes from the nature of his creation, the Balrogs aim to serve Melkor unconditionally and, like Sauron, they do not have any other ideals. Melkor wants to rule over Arda with terror to become its king and he wants to destroy what he cannot rule. In this respect, his ideal is focused on pure destruction and chaos. Sauron's ideal of domination is to manipulate the target being he wants to rule and to ensure that it comes under his control with its consent. Although Melkor and Sauron both have a common ideal in terms of domination, they differ in their methods. For this reason, since the Balrogs were on Melkor's side in the beginning (during the performance of the music), they were corrupted according to his oppressive method. Sauron, on the other hand, has a different nuance around his ideal in terms of domination since he later joined Melkor's side.

this is just ai slop. chatgpt, write me an interesting story in the style of "in deep geek" or that other channel, riders of rohan or whatever theyre called, i forgot im sorry. then make some ai images. text to speech the whole thing. bam you have something that took you 0 thought to make in under an hour and is entirely soulless. now go try make money out of shit. anyone who enjoys it is not realizing that this is just bad. stop giving this your attention, go to real humans with passion who are the ogs on this genre of video. and if you say: "i dont care how its made, i enjoy it nontheless" then know this: by letting them get away with this youre encouraging to make more and even shittier versions until making real content is no longer there so they have nothing to copy. then its just gonna get even worse. be better consumers.

The (witch)no man cAN ,DUDE (witch) king are you, Im the male king ...

I mean it was extremely well defended given the terrain itself, the toxic fumes in the area. The millions and millions of orcs you’d have to get through just to get to it… then you’d have to fight the pure evil of the ring making it impossible for you to destroy it. What Sauron never planned for was a hobbit. They are so pure of heart that they could resist the power of the ring for a time given they had no inherent desire for power, riches.. etc. Frodo was affected given the amount of time he had the ring. If Sam had taken it he would have been able to throw it. All in all. Frodo and Sam got astronomically lucky. It was like a 1 in a 1,038,937,936,917,287 chance.

Regardless of all other factors, I think the root of this issue lies in this. Sauron did not even consider the possibility of the One Ring being destroyed. Because he knew everyone as he did, and this weakened his foresight. It was a result of his corruption in power. He thought that the One Ring would be used against him, especially by the wise men he thought could control it. Sauron, who did not consider the option of destroying the One Ring, saw no reason for him to protect the only place where it could be destroyed. In fact, he did not think that there would be anyone who would have the will to destroy the One Ring.

Gandalf slayed Durin's Bane, not to mention I could never root against Gandalf. With that being said, Gandalf wins, extreme difficulty.

Nice video, short and sweet. I’d add that Frodo couldn’t even throw the ring into his own small fire at bag end. Sauron was definitely right that no one could willingly harm it

Yea he needs those rings

stolen content. stolen lines. ai shit. fleck off scammy guy

Bombadil couldn't defeat Sauron.

I would have included Eonwe, standard bearer of the Valar. He was of the same order as Sauron, Maiar, and was the greatest in arms in all of Middle-Earth, leading the Armies of the Valar in the War of Wrath. Sauron asked pardon from him but Eonwe did not have the authority to pardon him and urged him to go to Valinor. Melian also includes special mention as someone who held back Morgoth and Sauron during the Wars of the Silmaril for a time.

When the One Ring is destroyed, Sauron loses his will to reincarnate. He loses his ability to incarnate. His soul is not torn apart, but his access to the part he connected to the One Ring is lost. It is like a kind of spiritual paralysis. We can compare this situation to the following: A person whose limb is paralyzed still has that limb in his body, but he has lost the ability to use it. This is what happens to Sauron spiritually. The spiritual part he did not connect to the One Ring during his incarnation is still with him, and although this part cannot physically interact with the Seen World, theoretically it has the potential to continue to direct the will to a certain extent by penetrating the minds of the beings he targets through ósanwë (a kind of telepathic mental communication). The source of the metaphysical effect underlying the cult formations based on the Blue Wizards that continued their existence after Sauron's fall may be this potential of Sauron. Perhaps it can also be thought that with the destruction of the One Ring, Sauron lost this ósanwë ability and was therefore reduced to an absolutely ineffective being.

Headcannon: The nameless things are Langoliers from Steven King's book of the same name. They are the foundation of time itself and constant push events forward while utterly destroying the world of the past. If you were to somehow slip the present and be even 1 second into the past they would be there to chew away all matter and substance. Gandalf hints at this by his reference to slipping out of all time during his fight with the Balrog and his description of them gnawing fits as well.

Just my personal opinion, but i dont like Aragorn in the movies. Found him physically repulsive and not honourable like how Tolkien envisaged him

In fact, Luthien was too much for Sauron, and even Melkor. I guess almost all HIGH Elves would have beaten Sauron, a Maia, Glorfindel, for sure, even Maedhros and possibly Maglor. Thingol, for sure, also Finarfin and the list would go on and on.

Why do people asume they are ancient things. I always assumed they were like giant beetles, worms, woodlouse creatures. Basically animals that breed down there. As a form of life, they have existed since before Sauron (bit odd). But no reason to assume they are individually immortal.

Slight issue. Some of the Tom Bombadil photos aren't accurate. He's described as being much more colorfully dressed and for some reason he looks a lot more dour than he should. You should tell whatever photographer took those shots. I get the snarky feeling that they need to read the text more carefully. Next thing you know, they'll be taking photos of orcs nursing their babies. Great video as always.

The nameless things are like Ungoliant. She was named, yes. But her origin wasn't fully explained.

I like the idea about the Nameless Things and other stuff remain as mysteries of Middle Earth world, HOWEVER they might also imply even LARGER than the Middle Earth universe issues by chance too. It´s so loose end and they´re so at odds with all known, that they made even Eru Iluvatar´s ideas to felt a bit short and out of logic associated with him - though they aren´t Melkor´s plot alterations either way so an eerie THIRD PARTY is involved there!! And well these seems very alien and outer to all henceforth dealing with the cosmic-horror like as Lovecraftian-like lore which is so RICH on its neverending possibilities because breaking up the limits of any world or universe as no central god of moral control is needed to keep going all always sure and still all just keeps going on - untill by chance the true creator [Azathoth] awakes and all ends then.so all efforts are to keep it dreaming ever always - and well that´s a quite more interesting work than the narrow code of ethics of his beliefs not because of invalidating it as a whole for the personal experience of each one or humans, but... because a complementary issue for peace at the very end surrendering into obvlion as truth strucks without unavoidable ways of facts happening it. This possibility makes all more complex and less naive than the system of beliefs on his worldbuilding, but well... it´s just a possibility to thing freely after acknowledging the greater reach of these leakings on his world, calling for respect of it agains virulent canon-fanatics might appeal against to.

I doubt that Gandalf did left unsolved the knowledge about this new lurking menance recently acknowledged that will made trouble on the world some time in the future, so I guess he discussed about them with that mysterious last talking with Tom Bombadil choosing him as the most fitted one to try something about it. (He might have known his true identity then too for acknowledging fitted to do some sort of solving or dealing with them in the future.) Unless that they might be only gonna work a major key role on dooming all on Morgoth´s return on the Dagor Dagorath time.

The Nameless Things are much alike Ungoliant nature and if she is based on Nyx and Erebus references, then them could be a mix between Tartarus, Erebus and Gaia or Chaos too.

Well Gaia is very primordial too but closer to Yavanna somehow - unless Tolkien was using Demeter as reference then instead. However Tartarus, Erebus and Nyx are so quite eerie and menancing on themselves, than Gaia alone.

Niddhogg isn´t alone doing havoc for the Yggdrassil roots, but there are other less-powerfull yet kinda fouler darker WORM-BEINGS and even more ANCIENT and mysterious than him!!

The closest references for a real mythological source for the Nameless Things inspiration are either the Primordial Gods which came from Chaos and are much alike his nature as Nyx, Erebus and Tartarus on classical Greek mythology, but on German-Norse one there is the beings gnawing the roots of the Yggdrassil ash connecting all worlds, as the dragon Niddhogg and OTHER WORMS even more ANCIENT and DARKER-FOULER than him, though with less power.

Did we not forget about Eru Illuvatar?

What about farmer Maggot didn't he tell the Nazgul to, "sod off?"🤣

You could argue Sauron was much more powerful than Morgoth with the rings. That's the whole point of the rings, they gave him unfathomable power and he was able to amplify Morgoth's powers.

I think Saruman's fate would be similar.

Magisterial. This is what listening to the skalds & bards at the end of the day in the halls of ancient Europe must have been like.

Bear in mind, Sauron was a serial loser. Against Huan. In the War of Wrath. Against Numenor. Against the Last Alliance. Against the White Council. Against Frodo, Sam and Smeagol. His principal advantages were in guile, and immortality in a world being abandoned by the Eldar and in which Men were becoming just men. He's not that much of a villain, in that light.

Morgoth was overrated. Tulkas had beaten him multiple times just with his hands, he also feared Orome. Even Ungoliant, a sub-maia species, was close to destroy Him, his Balrogs came to help him. to the topic of this video: The Book clearly said that Bombadil would have no chance alone against Sauron and his army. So he would also not beat Morgoth

People, including the op, need to remember that the Valar did not live in Middle Earth.

I think Sauron was a greater Maia than Gothmog. Hard to say between Sauron and Ancalagon though

My absolute favorite topic in all of Middle Earth!!! Thank you for the video!!!

Bombadil is awesome and these divine beings are derived from both Greek and Nordic mythology. Just so addictive to watch Rings of Power and has made me want to read the Silmarilion book

I figured they would all need to be from the 1st age. But I do disagree with Feanor and ecthelion.

I love this video, but am curious about the idea that a darker force than Sauron is opposing the fellowship. I always thought that all the orcs and other baddies were Sauron's obedient slaves. Indeed, when the ring finally meets its demise, Tolkien makes a point of how those who were once enslaved are set free and become purposeless, slinking away to the shadows. Just my take on it.

I don't like Gandalf's beard

AI shit
