When your teacher tells you how you did on the test

For anyone wondering why Gandalf says the things he says : "Gandalf is making three very specific references as both warning and challenge to the Balrog. By identifying himself as a servant of the secret fire (or Flame imperishable), Gandalf is identifying himself as a Maia, an embodied angelic servant of the Valar protecting the light of Creation that Eru Iluvatar (or God) has set to burn at the centre of Arda (Earth). Wielder of the flame of Anor is a reference to his ability to draw on the power of the sun possibly through the Ring of Fire Narya but maybe also through his own divine origins. Finally as he refers to the Balrog as the Flame of Udun, he informs the Balrog that he knows it to be a corrupted Maia in the service of Morgoth from the earliest time when he resided as Melkor in his dark fortress of Utumno broken by the Valar at the awakening of the Elves. He orders it to retreat (go back to the shadows) or face the consequences of divine conflict and final judgement before the Vala Mandos, the fate of all slain creatures."

Sure Aragorn is far more experienced than the Hobbits, but for their party size, no one except Gandalf had the "level" required to survive facing thousands of Orcs and a Balrog. Take away the Balrog, and this is still true. In that sense, everyone except Gandalf is a "low level" Now if they had a bigger group, they might get away with having a lower average "level", but this wasn't the case.

Gandalf possesses the ring of fire. Tolkien states in the books this was the major reason Gandalf defeats the Balrog of Moria. He died in the process however and had to be summoned back as Gandalf the white.

Essentially what Gandalf is saying is he's a messenger/guardian from their version of God, he has powers that draw from celestial might like the sun and he knows the Balrog is a corrupted guardian that sided with their version of Satan. It's an old feud being settled.

As far as I know, Arnor is the fallen kingdom of Elendil to the north, and Udun is just some place in Mordor. Just seems a bit irrelevant.

He wasn't present at the War of the Last Alliance, unlike his father and grandfather, so he could've been not born yet or too young.

I swear I remember reading one Elf went toe to toe in a fight with Morgoth who made Sauron look like a bitch boy and this Balrog was nothing but the lapdog of the head Balrog who was nothing but Morgoths lap dog. I mean the Elf got killed but he still wounded Morgoth in a one on one fight. And Morgoth is supposed to be the big daddy of evil that could create without a ring the stuff Sauron wishes he could. Like Balrogs and Dragons.

Keep in mind though that Morgoth's balrogs had differences inappearances. Some of them were only 7ft tall, or some had different skulls.

"What is this new Devilry?" "The Balrog, A demon of the ancient world." I love this scene for one reason, Legolas is Elf and a huge reason why, he's using a bow and arrow and what makes him a good archer, is his vision. All elves have an ability to see things that far away up close, So when Gandalf tells Boromir about The Balrog, as he is speaking we get a glimpse of Legolas staring down into the shadow in absolute fear, I love it because he is an elf who has lived for many years already by this time, so for him to be as scared as he was, seeing The Balrog. Must have really struck fear into him.

psychick99 the nickname of the Balrog of Moria, a Maia corrupted by Morgoth

The capture of Viggo Mortensen's expression right after Gandalf fell is one of many great moments in these films.

The balrog of moria was the only balrog that survived their extinction by hidding under the misty mountains during many dacades. The dwarves drilled there for a special material called mithril which brough them great wealth. But they drilled to deep and awoke the balro, also called Durin's Bane, bacause he killed King Durin l. Gandalf challenged the Balrog, which accepted the challenge immediately. At the brige of Kazad-Um they fell down to the deepest spot of the mountains, a place, where even the dwarves never have been. Secret Tunnels excavated from unknown creatures guided the two opponents to the eternal stairs, which go from the lowest point of Moria to the Silver peek, the highest point of Moria. The Balrog was good opponent fir gandalf, but to tough, Gandalf died after killing the balrog because he was to exhausted. But the Gods of Middleearth gave him a second Chance because his task was still uncomplete.

xunit94 i got them from a lotr wikipedia site ;) since i watched that epic fight im like crazy with lotr and the balrog, i wanna know any single detail of that monstrous demon :D the balrog of khazad-dum also tolerated the orks that lived in moria. Azog, the white ork was ''king'' there for a certain time, after decapitating the king of dwarves Thror, which you can see at the movie The Hobbit, while Balin is counting the Story. That War btw took found in front of morias gates.

When Gandalf said that swords couldnt do sth he refered to the swords from the fellowship. HIS sword is a special one, a magic sword called glamdring, which was able to harm magic creatures of such a level like the balrog.

"I am a servant of the secret fire..." That is so epic, metaphysical and real.

Michael Stanley LOTR had better story design, pacing, tension, and even lighting in addition to atmosphere along with the CGI being seamlessly blended into the environment: the environment showed little to leave your mind guessing at the scale, it showed us a quick peek and our minds filled in the rest. The Hobbit is multi million overly reliant CGI porn, the same problem with the star wars prequels: suffering from detail overload. It leaves nothing to the imagination and that is the main problem.

During most of this time I desired so much for intelligence and to do the stuff I always wanted to do, yet I was denied it by negligence through my father, teachers and being put with other troubled students. Yet at the same time I found at the age of 7 I started to analytically study the most darkest mind in history and for the next 14 years pushed boundaries beyond all expectations. Now I am in very wide circles that are rare, dangerous, controversial and starkingly complicated which my life revolves around daily non-stop. However since going to university and being told more than likely that I have this list of disabilities, for the time being I am psychologically damaged because I now have to write a completely new path different to the one I wrote myself for the past 16 years.

because he thinks that the goblins are scared of him and his crew :p

It’s hard to believe the late Christopher Tolkien thought the trilogy was an insult to his fathers works

I have the highest respect for Christopher Tolkien. He did an amazing job of preserving his father's legacy and getting his unpublished work into print. But I think he was just too close to his father's work to be able to appreciate anyone else's interpretation of it.

sara matteson I agree with him about the Hobbit, but this? I guess I would be a little salty if someone made tiny changes to reiterations of my works

It isn't for me. I thought it was an insult to his father's work as well. Jackson is good at CGI and bringing creatures to life. But he is just awful at directing real people. He's similar to George Lucas in that respect.

Jeremy Dale no he did great. Tell me what the fuck is wrong with these movies as adaptations.

@@ikoandreas5085 There is too much to give you a complete list. So I'll summarize and just say the acting was atrocious (outside of Gandalf and Gollum) and many of the director's decisions to veer off course from the books made no sense (such as having Gandalf wanting to avoid going into Moria when it was actually his idea etc).

I remember talking about these movies with my friends 20 years ago. The opening scene of the highly anticipated 2nd film was one of the best ever: we'd waited a year to see what would happen to Gandalf, then we got that amazing fight... but still didn't get to see all of it until the scene in Fangorn. :)
