Man, Fingolfin's ride towards Angband and his duel against Morgoth is probably the most epic moment of the whole Silmarillion
If the TV series becomes a success (and not only with the ratings), this might all be filmed one day. I’m pretty sure the Tolkien estate will give in, eventually - if the series does the history and feel of Middle-Earth justice. And that’s a big if..
Between that and Beren and Luthien, yeah, it’s truly epic.
@@thomasley4006 It would take a lot to even try to do justice to the Silmarillion.
Enrico Cicilloni , completely agree, from when i first read this 36 years ago! This and Beren and Luthiens heroism in regards to the suicide mission Elu Thingol put on his future son in law
“And Morgoth came.” I get goosebumps every time I read that.
Fingolfin was a few strokes away from being a godslayer; most underrated elf ever.
not really, he might have won a fight, but he could never kill Morgoth
Merely wounding a valar especially Morgoth is legendary. Though Feanor fighting multiple Balrogs at the same time is pretty darn cool
Glorfindel was an actual god-slayer, and got written out of the movies completely.
Fingolfin, Feanor, Glorfindel and other's fights would make great boss battles in a game. I imagined something Dark Souls-like set in Middle-Earth, but you switch time and characters, jumping to different parts of Middle-Earth history (depicted in Silmarillion).
@@Kreege I absolutely hated that they wrote him out of the movies and replaced his role in Fellowship with Arwen. So goofy. I know they were trying to give her a bigger role, but she simply didn't have a big role in the books at all.
Amazon show writers: *furiously taking notes*
HAHAHAHAHA! True.
We can only hope
They are only allowed to use 2nd age material. All of these are from the Years of the Trees and the First age.
Good one! This Nerd has the Hollywood idiots outdone!
We wished.....
These battles with armies of balrogS and dragonS in plural, makes the battles of Sauron look like a skirmish between ants 😐
They weren't, due to fact that Sauron's orca abd trolls were much stronger. Also there were 'only' 7 balrogs ib total. The greatest number of dragons that took place during War of Wrath that will show in third video. War of the Last Alliance was second only to that one, and much greater than all wars of Beleriand with exception of mebtioned War of Wrath
That's a part of how Tolkien viewed things. He saw the entire history of the world as a gradual diminishment of things. Cities become less grand, people become diminished in stature and lifespan, wars become less grand, the green and beautiful world becomes grey and tired, with the entire process broken up every so often by moments of defiant brilliance. As grand as Minas Tirith is, it could never compare to Gondolin; as terrible and perilous as Mordor is, it could never compare to Angband. Sauron himself is utterly outmatched by the terror and evil of Morgoth.
@@DISTurbedwaffle918 yes and no, the thing that was dimnishing was primal power thah mortals called magic. That is the reason why when primal power is dimnishing technology is energing, that is why during second age there are far more technology, or as Tolkien stated it: craft, than in the first age,and tgat 8s tge time when various ppl rose in size, same with their cities etc. Its also growin time for Men which among all races and peoples have least primal power
@@SauroniastyPL Actually, There was more than 7 Balrogs, Tolkien wrote 7 meaning about 7 Survived. Because Glorfindel slayed many Balrog during battles
@@SauroniastyPL how many balrogs and dragons would you really need to have an epic battle though? Balrogs and dragons are individually worth an incredible number of orcs and trolls.
There is no fantasy setting with the depth, drama, and detail of Tolkien's. To this day, there is still no other.
Agree.
Indeed
A song of ice and fire is second
Was that a challenge?
I've always been a fan of the movies and read hobbit and lotr when I was younger. But I've listened to hobbit, lotr in the last few months, on the silmarillion now, and my appreciation for the depth of story, world building and characters is so much more now. Its incredible. The war of the ring just feels like a part of the story now!
Imagine being an elf before the first age, and seeing the creation of the sun and moon for the first time. Wow. The lore of ME is quite impressive.
You could roll a dice to determine a random year in the history of Middle Earth and you would always get enough content to write an entire book about it, it's awe inspiring
*roll a die
And, yes, you’re absolutely right.
@@katarishigusimokirochepona6611 I banish you to the timeless void for this comment
With all these Lords and Kings of gods it’s no wonder that the end of the Third age in the Lord of the Rings feels like the final death throes of a once greater world.
Sauron himself is the most powerful only because there’s no one to challenge him and his doom means the end of an Era stretching millennia.
the war of the ring is truly the tip of the middle earth iceberg
Holy Shit!! i didn't know that the Ring of Barahir was that old.
While I can't cite a book, chapter and page, I think there's some evidence in Tokien canon that it may have been made in Valinor before the Noldor's exile.
If I recall correctly (and keep in mind I probably don't), the Ring of Barahir may have been created by Féanor himself, or perhaps another of the Noldor
It's like I am at school learning history
Pure awesomeness :)
This history is a lot more interesting than actual world history.
Or at least this is taught in a more interesting manner.
I feel like I'm trying to imagine my own movie 🎥 the whole time I love these videos
this is history
This is the only history and world more real than any other
No apologies for a three-parter, the more detail the better!
Yes. This is gold.
Heck if he wants to get into as much detail that there is to give, ill take a four parter
Haha indeed! As if anyone would complain!
10 part morgoth series
Agreed. Take all the time you need, sir. 😎
Imagine you ask her father if you can marry her and he’s like bruh first bring me one of the crystals of morgoth
I'll be honest, I would then have married a fisherman's daughter instead... He probably would have ask a more reasonable quest... Like bring back a salmon for dinner, or something...
But Beren laughed. 'For little price,' he said, 'do Elven-kings sell their daughters: for gems, and things made by craft. But if this be your will, Thingol, I will perform it. And when we meet again my hand shall hold a Silmaril from the Iron Crown; for you have not looked the last upon Beren son of Barahir.'
Didn't you hear?

This is going to be my reply the next time my kid asks for an extra hour of video games. LOL.
“First you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with...a herring!” “What? It can’t be done!”
Through action,a man becomes a hero.
Through death,a hero becomes a legend.
Through time,a legend becomes a Myth.
And by learning from the Myth,a man takes action.
Damn, that was dope
Through victory my chains are broken
Pantheon quote.
That's sick, bro. Did you come up with that? 💪🏾🤺💪🏾
Gay
My man, Fingolfin. What an absolute legend. 😭🍻
The thing that I especially love in Tolkiens works are the maps. I have several of them in my home in Helsinki.
I've been looking for great quality Tolkien's map for so long now, I'd love to hang it on my wall.
Yes! Ever since I was a kid I had a huge fascination with maps and the LOTR maps pique my curiosity like no other.
It also gives the entire story a sense of realism. That there really was a place where two trees of light stood. That you could follow the path of the fellowship and so on
“Though I look at you with the eyes of death, from you and I a new star shall arise. Farewell!” In my opinion one of the best lines in the whole canon.
Fingon almost killed Gothmog in a 1v1 but was attacked from behind by another Balrog. Fingon was a badass too RIP
I like how Feanor's reaction to all the absolute chaos and mayhem basically was: " Guys, I have a plan. We kill a literal god. It's the only logical solution. Trust me." Even more mindblowing is the entirety of Noldor agreed with what must be the craziest plan anyone ever came up with!
I always thought that they could've killed Morgoth if they waited a little bit and regrouped with the Valar and the other elves to create a plan to defeat Morgoth once and for all. But the dumb Noldor said naaah we DON'T need the Valar to kill a valar we can do it for ourselves!!
Sounds like Kelsier
Feanors only flaw is his increadible rage. Love that character.
I always thought it was more funny that a High-King of the Elves died in a 1v1 battle with the dark lord and a horny man and elf are set upon a quest to burgle the dark lord just to get hitched (I'm facetiously simplifying lol)
The craziest plan was Dr. Bright trying to kill SCP-682 with chainsaw cannons.
Finally a clear overview of the first age through maps. Ever since I first read the Silmarillion, I struggled to understand what was happening where exactly. Many thanks for this!
Most editions of the Silmarillion do not show the northern edge of Beleriand, so it's a bit hard to guess how far and where exactly Angband is. The map shown in this channel is much more complete.
@@calick7208 yeah, they omit the northern part for some reason
this story would be freakin' awesome to see as a trilogy/series on the big screen
It should be made as a web series
That would be amazing especially finglefin battling morgoth and getting to see the ancient dragons and balrogs in action as well 👍
I hope Peter Jackson is taking his career/ following seriously. He probably is and is aware of how we all felt about Lord of the Rings as apposed to The Hobbit and I have hope that he will make a beloved five piece Silmarion set. But I am clearly a very hopeful person.
If it weren't for what he did to the hobbit I'd recommend Peter Jackson.
I blame the studios more than P Jackson...
Blind Guardian made a beautiful song about Fingolfins fight. Time stands still (at the iron hill)
One of my Favs. Nightfall in Middle-Earth is such a good album.
Man I love Blind Guardian.
Watching Tolkien videos, always feel like learning history.
Better than that
Brother I gotta tell you that after having had read or shall I say voraciously devoured the Silmarillion just recently, your videos are a heaven send! You portray the battles so well it's like you're recounting ancient history. Of course it's helped by the fact that this is the most badass story ever written! Thank you Sir!!
I'm devouring his videos before I venture into reading the Silmarillion.
Now this is what Amazon should have been trying to create a TV series on!
Season 1 > Start with Melkor's forgiveness by the Valar and end with the Oath of Feanor
Season 2 > The 1st Kinslaying to Maedhros's rescue and Fingolfin now being the new king of Noldor
Season 3 > The Dagor Bragollach to Fingolfin's epic duel with Morgoth
Season 4 > The story of Beren & Luthien and the 2nd kinslaying
Season 5 > The Children of Hurin story
Season 6 > The Fall of Gondolin
Season 7 > The 3rd Kinslaying and War of Wrath
Season 8 > The Forging of the Rings of Power and Sauron's War in Eregion
Season 9 > The Fall of Numenor story
Season 10 > The War of the Last Alliance and get the epic duel of Gil-Galad/Elendil/Sauron
Im so pumped theres a part 3. Thank you so much for bringing such a difficult read to life so magnificently. Tolkien would be proud.
For real, you telling the story of the duel between Fingolfin and Morgoth gave me chills, I've never read the Silmarillion, so i was eyes wide and mouth open, waiting for the outcome of the battle, great narrating
And morgoth hurled aloft grond, the hammer of the underworld
Does anybody else start to feel incredibly stupid when realising the breadth of Tolkien's imagination?
Same. But honestly it's not a standard you should set for yourself. Tolkien spent 30+ years world building. You could do something similar if you spent as much time and had an intellectual inclination for scholarly pursuits (like history, language, science, etc).
A few times in this video alone, I even forgot I forgot. Double dumb 😂 it's insanely epic though!
@@benjeesilv1596 That´s right. Acctually, maybe we will never know about a deeper story and background like that. Not even the knowledge of such disciplins, but nowadays our culture is immediatist and capitalist. We will never past years to righting something without the purpose to earning somenthing quit.
I've already did some excellent worldbuilding in about a month, granted, its very small but still its something... i guess
@@donutlovingwerewolf8837 yeah, it is something, and worth acknowledging! Congratulations, I hope you are having fun.
Dude. I've been at this whole RUclips thing a while and, well,
you F***ing nailed it man.
I mean never have I been so compelled to make sure I like and comment on a video: and tbh I actually think I might support your work just from the amount of passion it obviously takes to make videos like these. I found that It was pretty east to follow along since the pacing was perfect and the graphics really helped understand your dialogue.
honestly can't say it enough how well done this was.
Thanks.
An Avid, Quality-loving RUclips Viewer! :)
This was a great message to read. Thank you so much for your kind words!
Please don't stop brother, i'd even listen to a full reading of the books.
Tolkien does stick to a theme. Overt power never really overcomes evil, it's wisdom and stealth that has the greatest victories. Single combat, large military actions end in either bittersweet defeat or total route.
Love the breakdown of overall battle strategies and tactics. It's like watching a particularly riveting historical documentary.
Your explanation of the battles and movements of people and armies is probably the most clearly rendered explanation of these events I've encountered on youtube....thank you, especially for covering the wars of the first age in the video because there is such a severe dearth of videos on the specific time period....which I don't understand, to me at least, the first age has always been the most interesting, probably because it represents a world and reality so fundamentally different than that of the Third Age.
Morgoth after being defeated: "You fools! My beloved Sauron will end what I couldn't finish!"
Sauron: *Gets defeated by a deformed hobbit*
Morgoth: "Last time I trust in a scholar"
Deformed? Seriously?
@@gianna526 I think he meant Gollum, even so i think also it wasnt nécessary lol
@@Berserk_96 yeah, orcs were deformed, smeagol just looked malnourished. :')
Uh oh you triggered someone in the comments
@@lokensicarius9347 True lol
Dude, you're the best! There's a lot of Tolkien channels out there doing a fine job. But your way of going about topics, narration, animation... simply the best Arda-tainment of them all by far. Also you know your stuff extremely well and pay attention to finer details. Even crazy theories are fun and relatable stories with you. So no worries about making the Morgoth installment a trilogy on short notice.... he IS the most evil Lord after all... NotR, u rock!!! Thanks for the loads of quality entertainment.
Thanks so much! That is so gratifying and wonderful to hear! I’m glad you are loving the channel!
"Sorry for the three-parter?" Oh, no! More Tolkien content! :-P
I could watch Morgoth videos for an entire Age and not have enough details.
I just love how powerful these elves of the first age are! And there were some great elven kingdoms with glittering magnificence such as Gondolin, Hithlum, Nargothrond and Doriath. First age was the peak age of this middle earth lore for sure. Not to mention the Noldorian warriors like Fingolfin, Feanor, Glorfindel and co.. they all could single handedly spank Sauron for good and made him their servant if they survived till the 3rd age.
Glorfindel did survive into the 3rd Age. He saved Frodo's life from the Nazgul after he was stabbed by the Morgul Blade. He died in Gondolin but like Gandalf, he was blessed by Eru and allowed to return instead of goin to Valinor. Unfortunately by the time Glorfindel returned, nearly an entire Age or more had passed, Morgoth had been defeated, and Beleriand sunk to the bottom of the Great Sea.
Even Ar-Pharazon can clapped Sauron's ass easily lol
@@Test-mq8ih looks like many people really overestimate Sauron as a whole. He was as dangerous as the competition allowed him to be seen as.
Just finished watching part 1 and 2 of Morgoth's story. Wow. This was seriously a good one. The way you tell the story is phenomenal. I'm reading the Silmarillion for the first time and it's confusing and slow until you get to chapter 3. Thank you so much for breaking down the discord in the music of the Anuir and Morgoth's origins. I thought Melkor was the first evil (sort of like Satan) , and then Morgoth came. I didn't know they were one in the same. smh Thank you for breaking it down for us first timers.
As beautiful as his lore is, I cannot help but to be reminded that when he wrote of things like plague fog he was retelling the horrors he witnessed in war. Greatest story teller of all, and highest hopes he found peace at the end of all things.
Dude now I discovered that you also have a Ring of Power, it's name is "Middle-earth", and you are his keeper!
Great job, your videos are just better better, I cant wait for the next video.
If we should ever cross paths Mellon, I will happily buy you A drink
You have succeeded in making me want to re-read the Silmarillion. The other books on my shelf are going to be very upset.
Dude do you know how restless ive been all week just for this vid, man i love your vids
Aww Beren and Luthien on Valentine's day, how nice! I had learned from a project I did on J.R.R Tolkien that the characters Beren and Luthien are based off himself and more chiefly inspired by his wife Edith Bratt (I may have forgotten her name). The names Beren and Luthien are inscribed on the grave stone of Tolkien (has the name Beren) and his beloved wife, his Luthien.
The couple of paragraphs describing Fingolfin's challenge and battle with Morgoth is some of the best prose I've ever read. Also, these videos are fantastic. Well done!
This retelling is by far the best and most detailed of all that i have seen on RUclips. Well done.
I don't mind 3 parts, the extra details were really interesting for someone who hasn't read the Silmarillian
I've read the Silmarillion dozens of times and it's super interesting for me too.
Please read the Silmarillion, it's an amazing piece.
@@Ms.MD7 i really want to but i have a really hard time getting past the King James-esque speak
@@crapface911 lol true, it's definitely an acquired taste. I have to agree with archaic English language style, it can be a bit daunting but thankfully Nerd of the Rings can help us with that.
@@DJSockmonkeyMusic Idk how people find time to read fantasies. Don't you guys have anything to do in real life?
This is tremendous. The use of maps in particular is most enlightening. Much obliged.
Only done one thing before watching: liking
Your channel is one of the best pages i follow, i could see your edits and hear you talking about Tolkien's work anyday
Can't wait for part 3, they should make a movie series on this
A Tolkien Cinematic Universe... 🤩🤩🤩
@@jeffreypowell7374 Exactly, it will be great
OK, this has finally convinced me.....its time to subscribe to your channel. Man, these Morgoth videos are absolutely AMAZING!!!!
The story of Children of Hurin is my favorite. Cannot wait for part 3!
No need to wait! It released today. 😁
ruclips.net/video/lkCQ6zzmaCE/видео.html
These videos area great. Awesome how you tie so many together without heavily repeating info. Easily the most digestible, but still detailed LotR information I've seen - With the best channel name. Keep the great content coming!
People who spent 20+ years wearing out the martin shaw box sets of the silmarillion approve of the Nerd of the Rings.
The best Tolkien lore channel on RUclips. Awesome high-res maps and very clearly presented. Looking forward to the next one.
I love your videos, the simple graphics really help with understanding all this crazy tolkien stuff
I discovered this channel not long ago, then subscribed almost immediately. What an outstanding work ; I'm amazed with each new video. Thanks for the wonderful and erudite content !
It's perhaps important to mention the fact that during the first battle, Denethor (the Prince of the Laiquendi/Nandor of Ossiriand) and his retinue were cut off from their army and encircled at Amon Ereb, were they all were killed, before Thingol and the Sindar could come to their rescue. The loss of their leader and the massive casualties during the battle struck the Laiquendi with grief and fear and they never actively participated in a major battle again, nor did they chose a new leader. They hid inside the forests of Ossiriand and became suspicious and almost unfriendly to outsiders (except for Beren and Lúthien who lived with them during their second mortal live, as well as other elves).
Excellent! Great job ! Love how u retold Fongolfin's heroic battle vs Melkor/Morgoth, probably the most accurate ive heard! Awesome
Having recently discovered your channel, and having read the Silmarillion long ago, the narrative being explained over the map with character icons makes for such a cohesive telling process. I find these videos extremely entertaining.
I could watch your amazing videos for hours without a blink! Every detail is so proper, thank you.
This needs to be made into a movie! Anything to see Fingolfin battle Morgoth on the big screen.
MOVIES Plural.
@@kentilorama Just imagine when they make games of this. world best sellers easy.
An R rated animated series would probably be a lot better. Movies could never do it justice.
these videos are so so good! im so happy we have another installment to come!
Its great seeing Tolkeins work being revitalised and potentially made more accessible for those new to the Tolkein legendarium!
love the way you incorporate visuals in all your videos as you're explaining stuff, really good work dude. The artwork itself is amazing and fits perfectly. This channel is my favorite place to come when i want to sit back and relax and learn more about Tolkien's vast and marvelous creation. Lotr is one of the main reasons i got into armour and blade smithing in the first place, the same reason I named my workshop Feanors-Forges. Always enjoy learning more lotr history.
I'm supposed to do my history homework for uni...does this count?
Also I am IN LOVE with your videos. The quality, the information, the design is all SO GOOD
These are just awesome! Please keep it coming. The fascinating and rich history of Tolkien’s world from someone who truly knows and respects it.
I'm so glad someone broke all this down and presented it such a professional way.
You, Sir, are a legend. Outstanding job. I could hear you read the whole Silmarillion!
Man i wish if they make a movie on The Silmarillion, that'd be so epic.
Yup
Fantastic. I for one am not mad about this being a 3 parter! Great job, as always. Keep 'em coming!
I love it. Very glad to see that a 3rd video was necessary!
As usual top-notch presentation the visual the audio it is bringing the scenes to life
Amazing second part brother, a work of true art.
Literally only finished part 1 in the last hour. Your doing an amazing job and deserve the fallowing your getting. kudos friend and thank you
Thanks so much! Glad you found the channel. 😊
@@NerdoftheRings Oh no thank you.. You've thought me so much new information & with lockdown & no work to go to I've been able to watch lots of your content & it just gets better & better so thank you and cheers for the kind reply 😊
Loving it! Mom shared The Lord of the Rings with me very early. I gifted myself with the First Age soon after. It really is nerd stuff though- I can't even talk about it with the die hard fan in my mom, she's never read it and likely won't. This is the next best thing. Comfy, literate, well done and very entertaining.
Can i just say, i subbed when you were still short of 30k subs, and i dont feel like it was more than 1-2 months ago and now you´re at 155k subs... that´s insane man! Congrats!
Absolutely enthralled. Thank you.
Well done! It's one thing to take notes and talk about what happened, but to successfully illustrate and explain some of the more complex battles is no small feat.
This is such a well done and comprehensive video. Wonderful job 👏🙌 You truly bring to life Tolkien's remarkably epic and cinematic vision
Something that seems to be missed in the discussions of Glaurung is that not only could the dwarves withstand its fire, but their hammers at the time were capable of making its scales partially malleable and bent.
I discovered your channel a few weeks earlier. And man, I love your content so much ! I'm now convinced that I will finally be able to read the entire Silmarillion, and perhaps the entire work of our Lord Tolkien. And read again The Hobbit and The Lord of The Ring for the fifth time. Thank you for your passion !
That is so great to hear! I hope you enjoy your time in the Silmarillion! 😁
These are all so well put together thank you man for being the dopest
I think I'm addicted to your videos. Brilliantly presented and with vast knowlage of such a vast world.
Very well explained. A joy to listen to. Much appreciated.
Morgoth delivered a case of the beats to the alliance. Nice video. Looking forward to part 3. Keep up the good work.
I really like how you give context with the map. It'd be impossible to follow without it.
Wow. Bravo! Well done. You painted the picture PERFECTLY... I got chills.
Every time Morgoth's foot bothers him, hes gonna think about Fingolfin.
This content is magnificent!! Thank you so much!
Amazing video! So easy to understand i love it! Also the stream was amazing too! So exited for part 3!!!! Keep the good work.
I'm really liking your series. I could never get my head around the Silmarillion book but your series makes it very accessible. Thank you.
I’m so unbelievably happy that I found this channel! I love the lore of LotR and everything before and after. It’s such a fascinating history! Keep up the amazing work! Thank you!!
Thanks so much for watching! Glad you found the channel! 😊
This is the only super bowl I'm interested in
Man, your knowledge of Tolkien’s work is incredible. I love watching these videos, keep them up!
No complaints for three videos! These are great, I am learning tons about Middle Earth while I work.
just started reading the Silmarillion and just finished a note from Tolkien and wanted to look up what the the first dark lord of middle earth was like and man am i excited to read this book now.
Ohhhh boy am I excited for YOU!! Take your time reading it, don't be afraid to go back and reread if you need clarification...make good use of the appendices and glossary while reading, they certainly helped me to keep track of places and names.
@@chrisgrant7450 Fine piece of advice, sir. I wish I hadn't devoured the book like some famished beast. This needs to be savoured like the finest wine.
I just finished the GOT books and I'm about to move on to the WoT series but I may read the Silmarillion first.
@@chrisgrant7450 thank you for the advice , i appreciate it!
This is amazingly well done.
Thank you so much for all your work on this. Very detailed and helpful as a companion to the story.
Now this is a video i have been waiting for!! Thank you so much for your effort!!!!
