J.R.R. Tolkien said:"I think that they went as emissaries to distant regions, east and south, .... Missionaries to enemy occupied lands as it were. What success they had I do not know; but I fear that they failed, as Saruman did, though doubtless in different ways; and I suspect they were founders or beginners of secret cults and "magic" traditions that outlasted the fall of Sauron."
"Their task was to circumvent Sauron: to bring help to the few tribes of Men that had rebelled from Melkor-worship, to stir up rebellion ... and after his first fall to search out his hiding (in which they failed) and to cause [?dissension and disarray] among the dark East ... They must have had very great influence on the history of the Second Age and Third Age in weakening and disarraying the forces of East ... who would both in the Second Age and Third Age otherwise have ... outnumbered the West."
dude, he killed a balrog
:lolConjurer of cheap illusions, Sauron, a trick is something a whore does for money.
Not after Gandalf returned as G-man The White to take his place as the head wizard.Isn't Saruman stronger?
None of the movies touch on it.
We need Edmond Dantes back to make sense of all this...

Your staff is broken.
Whatever happened to him anyway? Did he leave for Valinor?
Didn't the extended edition of ROTK bring it up at the very end? It's been years but I could swear it did.
I remember the movie focused on the ring on Gandalf's hand briefly, kind of implying that it was one of the three rings.
Can't recall if they showed Vilya and Nenya at all(think they showed Galadriel wearing it been a while).
Tom's alright. We're all alright!What is Tom Bombadil anyway? Like seriously, what is he?
He puts his points into lightning magicdude never threw a fireball, he's a total hack

You must've forgotten all about the part where the Hobbits meet the brown wiz and do a bunch shrooms in the forest.No I think he's legit, but he smoked halfling leaf and was kind of a hippie to other Wizards.
The clip sounded badass, and it was, but from a gender perspective I feel everything about it got immediately invalidated since she saved Gandalf, but then you needed two men to rescue her. Only based on this clip, never saw the movie itself. She should just AOE pulsed the wraiths away IMO and everything would be awesome.
I mean, she holds back Sauron himself later on in the sequence which is still one of my favorite moments from the Hobbit films.

Well, at that point, Saruman has cut himself off from what gives him power and has backed the wrong horse in the battle for Middle Earth. He's basically a conjurer of cheap tricks at that point, and that scene shows it. He ends up and goes out as even more of a lame punk in the books.I never watched the extended version but the fireball makes Saruman look so cheap and lame really.
The Hobbit movies' MO seemed to be "fuck subtlety". It's too bad too, Cate Blanchett's performance deserved better than all those over-the-top visuals and audio effects. Her speech in a more restrained context would have been way more badass.This is so bad it looks like a fanvid.
Dude Qui Gon is considered Boromir-tier.He is basically a lesser Qui Gon.
Okay, I think you've sufficiently jogged my memory. I've probably only watched The Two Towers twice, but have seen Fellowship like a dozen times. There's a scene in TTT where he fights the balrog on a mountain top, right?
Seriously. The true ultimate power, to arrive precisely when he means to, makes him unstoppable.He's also never too late. Or to early. That's quite amazing.
Tom Bombadil dont give a fuck
What bugs me is how Galadriel takes the exact same form as when she was talking to Frodo and how she even uses the same light she gives him later. Was this Jackson referencing his own movies or is this scene also in any of the books? To me it just makes Galadriel look like a one trick pony.This is so bad it looks like a fanvid.
The most epic battle in the entire series, and it happens offscreen.
I don't know whether to praise Tolkien for inviting us to imagine it so we're no way disappointed by it, or just resent the bastard because I want to see it so bad.
Gandalf the type of guy to level up by grinding fetch-quests

Posts like this make me feel so old.When's the remake of lord of the rings coming anyway.
Should be soonish. What's the earliest in terms of time frame Hollywood has taken and remade a movie?
So, a Balrog vs a true dragon like Smaug, who wins?
This raises some [more] plot hole questions. So Gandalf is cool with [apparently] giving ole 'Rog the business when his life depends on it or when it suits him. He's gimped... but not really. If it came down to it would he have offed Smaug? What's his stopping point? If a Balrog decided to not be content trolling away on some bullshit until he bumped into a sweet looking mark, and instead wanted to wreak havoc on the countryside would old man river intervene then? It all seems pretty subjective.Balrogs are higher on the totem poll. Dragons are constructs, like orcs, bred by Morgoth (Melkor before his full corruption), Sauron's master and teacher. Balrogs come from the same stock as Sauron, Saruman and Gandalf.

Sure seems that way. He took Gandalfs staff from him and made him dance.
Do they need their staffs to do their "magic"?
