Honestly, the Fellowship wouldn't have gone this far without Gandalf's power and wisdom. That's why I consider him as one of the best LoTR character of all time imo.
And to add on, a year after your comment, considering it's the best trilogy of films of all time, perhaps even the best televised character of humankind. Ofc imo as well. Well deserved to such a seasoned grand-master of an actor like Sir Ian McKellen.

@@taroupriapus9760that is correct. But don’t forget that the Istari do still have more magical power than any other being in middle earth. Clearly they got nerved and can’t even use 5% of their original power, but even this 1-5% are more than enough to archive great magical powers. They simply got told by the Valar not to use their powers unless it’s absolutely necessary (example: an enemy who has great magical or physical power is standing against them). Their task is to help the Volk of middle earth with wisdom. If Gandalf wouldn’t got Glamdring, he probably would’ve use his staff in physical combat to get enemies away from him

The ones I remember that were missing here are *Gandalf blocking sarumans fire ball * Gandalf using light to ward off the Nazguls riding the Black wings
Looks like Gandalf overcame his staff dependency weakness pretty fast after being defeated by Saruman, considering he was able to fight and defeat the Balroq with just his sword not long afterwards. Plus he was able to fight off all those Orcs at the Black Gate with just his sword later on. That's certainly been one of the reasons why Gandalf's my favorite kind of wizard, for being both a magician and swordsman. His magic may not be as flashy or frequent as other movie wizards, but that fits with the saying less is more.
A bit of neat LOTR trivia that good old boy 007 Sean Connery turned down the role of Gandalf saying "I don't understand the books". So the role went to the most perfect ever seen here.
Gandalf technically didnt kill the balrog, because the balrog was originally a Maiar spirit who was corrupted by Melkor/Morgoth and was then turned into the Balrog. And normally, Maiar spirits are immortal. This is why Sauron and Saruman are both still alive, even though they lost almost all of their power and hence cannot have a physical form since they were "killed".
You left out the scene where Gandalf protects the riders from the Nazgul with a beam of white light. One of the most beautifully filmed scenes in history.
Gandalf's underrated, oft unreported power is that he is a diplomat/politician intent on regime change. Trying to create kings.. did it with Aragorn, tried it with Thorin and he assassinated the legitimate king of the goblins that left a vacuum. Not saying he was right or wrong in these endeavours, just that it was another skill which often bore fruit and set back the dark forces in his perspective. More esoteric, he was an expert military tactician able to see what Azog was doing to best counter it in the battle of the 5 armies, and bring support for the battle of helm's deep and the battle at Gondor. Also a keen researcher with literacy and numeracy skills, with excellent recall and a huge network of informants and allies to keep him apprised of almost all affairs in middle earth, among the first of the white council to hear of the stirring of trolls, orcs, goblins around human and elven territories.. he is able to act on new information and adapt seamlessly to changing circumstances yet never swaying from his end goal (can fall under willpower, perception, determination or all 3).
Gandalf is a badass! But something that always bothered me was the fact that he never really displayed his powers much. I sometimes forget that he sopouse to be a wizard.
5 wizards were sent to Middle Earth to guide and council free people of Middle Earth in the fight against Sauron. They were instructed not to control or seek to dominate and not to reveal their power unless utterly necessary. Saruman, Gandalf, Radagast and 2 blue wizards. Gandalf is a being who was there when the world was created and took part in its creation, he is very powerful. Just the point of the story is that free people need to find the strength within them to free them selves of the dark lord. And they did it, with a nudge or two from higher powers. Gandalf didn't randomly return to Middle Earth, Gollum didn't randomly trip and fell into the lava. Fight between Gandalf and Balrog created such storm on that mountain, those who saw the mountain said that was the largest storm they have ever witnessed. Which was the only battle between two gods ever, or rather lesser gods to be more precise. There's 1 true god, Eru Iluvatar (aka Sacred Fire which Gandalf mentions when introducing him self to Balrog), next circle is Valar and circle below that are Maiars. Gandalf, Sauron, Saruman, Balrogs - they are all Maiars. Gandalf's real name is Olorin. Gandalf refers to Eru once more, "I strayed out of thoughts and time" - the only place where time doesn't exist is Halls of Iluvatar - place created before time and a place where Eru resides. So guess who saw that Middle Earth is doomed without Gandalf? Gandalf uses his powers according to his task, he nudges things a little bit. Why were there only 5 ringwraiths at Weathertop when Aragorn came there with the hobbis? Cause the night before that Gandalf was there and fought all 9 of them, with fire and explosions that could be seem from many miles away. In his own words - he was indeed pressed hard by them. Task of 5 wizards is a secret, no one knew who they really were nor what they were capable of.
As a Maiar, Gandalf was the equivalent of an angel, in the service of the Valar, specifically Manwë himself, the King of the Valar. He was not allowed to use his powers to interfere with the natural order of things in any way.
Gandalf:THOU SHALL NOT PASS Balrog:Fine i will just catch you by my whip and burn you while both plummet to ground Gandalf -Fire immunity due to Narya ring Balrog- then we just fell to ground Gandalf- kills Balrog and falls with it and then turns White after seeing cosmos
I'm half way through this video and find it quite odd that you haven't mentioned the fact Gandalf is a primordial spirit, older than time and more powerful than all but 3 other beings in Middle Earth. Saurman, Saron and the Balrog. Since all 3 of the latter were weak enough to be corrupted into evil, and Gandalf wasn't, he was sent back to middle earth with promotion to the strongest being in middle earth...A true white wizard. Oh...And he wore one of the 3 uncorrupted elven rings of power, Narya. :D How did ya miss these very important powers?
6:17 .. no he doesnt have telepathy... galadreil said when you need me i will come.. galadriel could even talk to frodo in his mind , remember... Galadriel is the one .. xD
Ehh all the elven ring bearers could talk with each other via telepathy, so that means elrond galadriel and gandalf, frodo could hear them too if he tried but he didn't have the might to do so, if sauron had the ring the others would have had to remove theirs cause he would be able to listen in if not worse- nerd out
Multilinguasium as a power? I am former speaking german, i can have a nice talk in english, some talks like baguette but und immer mille gracie seniora or muchas grazias seniorita ;)
No I don't think either, its magic over earth. The same spell he used to crack the stone (trolls), crack the cliff when chased by wolves, and same spell he used to break the bridge of Moria
It makes me irrationally angry how bad a lot of the hobbit trilogy was and how easily maybe 2 pretty decent movies could've been pulled out of what they filmed 😢
i call, Gandalf to Lord Gandalf, i message for him for the Light, that is hidden in us, from Love and Respect. and h.. no evil satan. Only in Gods name. God have let me seen, some rare Lights, if those Lights in forms, what ever, it always feels good or fine. Those or these films are far from the ancient.

AGREED!
Gandalf: "You wouldn't part an old man of his walking stick?"
Saruman: 9:13
Gandalf the warrior wizard has only one weakness- staff dependancy
And yet he killed the balrog without his staff.
@@moonshine187
Correct. In fact the staff is just a magical accessory of a wizard. They are magical beings in the first place, they can do magic without a staff, though they need the staff to concentrate magic they casted
It’s to fulfill to accuracy his task without much interference
What's missing here
*Gandalf resisted the fire ball casted by Saruman
*Gandalf use light magic to drive away the nazguls at LOTR 3
*Horsemanship should be included as skill
*Riddle solving at the doors of Moria (in the books)
*drowning the nazguls at river of rivendell (at books)
*Foresight (when he almost touched the one ring and the sphere of Saruman)
*Definitely telepathy (he can communicate through thought with the other ring bearers, notably seen in the Hobbit)
Well with such a strong resume as Gandalf’s, chances are some skills are gonna be missed.
He did not drown the Nazgûl. It was Elrond’s magic that caused the flood.
i was thinking telepathy as well. really shows he is not of middle earth
bro has powers and still chooses the Sword. He's got my respect😂
The maiars are lesser angels and greatly depowered in human form, that's why the wizards can't use their full powers while they are on middle earth
@@taroupriapus9760that is correct. But don’t forget that the Istari do still have more magical power than any other being in middle earth.

To be fair, Glamdring is a pretty epic sword. It’s up there with Narsil / Anduril.
They weren't allow to us their powers much
@@taroupriapus9760why can sauron be so powerful then?
Just filling in a few descriptions:
11:05 Power of elemental knowledge
11:16 Fire elemental barrier / shield + Weapon destructive counter (Balrog sword disintegrates)
11:25 Simple force to crack the bridge + hidden under word of command
11:50 - 12:41 Superhuman Athleticism, Agility and Durability

You know... The Two Greatest Wizards in Warner Bros is Gandalf and Albus Dumbledore.
You forgot the part when Saruman tried to roast Gandalf at the foot of Orthanc with a fireball but he came unscathed
The fact that he could fight is the best part. Aside from his wisdom, of course.
