This is hands down the best, most accurate and informative video Looper has ever done

He was known by many names... in Eregion he went by Anatar lord of gifts, around Mirkwood the Necromancer of Dol Guldur, but above all he was known as the Dark Lord and the Lord of the rings.

Wow that was an awesome video. It answered so many questions I had about the movies. Thanks for sharing.

The guy really did his homework, a fairly thorough history of Sauron, the most faithful servant of Morgoth

@gandalf8216

Жыл бұрын

Not really the most faithful servant. Morgoth wanted to destroy so he could remake Arda, Sauron merely wanted to dominate the inhabitants of Arda. It's a signature sign there is evil at play, when they manipulate, abuse and eat their own. Sauron planned to overthrow Morgoth all along, and this relationship of sorts is reflected in the relationship between Saruman and Sauron. Saruman planned to overthrow Sauron, by way of use of the One. When it comes to Tolkien, if something echoes it's probably with intent.

7:14 Chaos isn't his goal. His goal is order. Chaos is merely a means to an end ("ordo ab chao"). Order without justice is tyranny.

The Lord of The Rings story is just like any of my childhood stories while I was playing with my toys; the good, the evil, good prevails. Difference is I never wrote any of them and would just end abruptly when my mom calls me for dinner.

I like how you made this video clips of the story of The HOBBIT and The Lord of the Rings from beginning to the end well done bro 👍

Both things, the ring and the necromancer werent Sauron and his Ring, when the Hobbit was written. Tolkien made this up afterwards, when writing LotR.

Can you do a video on Sauron’s master Morgoth and I am interested in Morgoth because like had there been no morgoth sauron would have still been called sauron the admirable and also like had there been no morgoth there would be no balrog in Moria and Gandalf would have made it out of Moria.

Another interesting thing is that when Gandalf confronts the Balrog at the Khazad-dûm bridge he screams that he ( Gandalf) is a servant of the Secret Fire ( Eru Iluvatar) and he calls the Balrog “ Flame of Udun ” Udun was the name of the big hole Morgoth made on the ground of Middle Earth to access the core of the Earth and release demons from depths and use its fire to make dark sorceries

I used to be frustrated with how it felt like The Hobbit was adapted to fit the bigger story. This was until I understood that The Hobbit was written from the perspective of a hobbit as if it's audience was also hobbits. fun fact. Tolkien wanted to follow up The Hobbit by writing what would be called The Silmarilian. The LOTR was a suggestion from his publisher stating that people wanted to hear more about Hobbits.

Nicely explained....

We need two games: - LOTR Battle for middle earth 3 - LOTR Conquest 2

Sauron killed Elendil in the War of the Alliance and was killed in turn after that, as wergild, the Ring was taken by his son Isildur from the finger of Sauron.. The movies show this a tad differently

So much potential for films in the future. The fall of Numenor alone would be intriguing.

Pointing out that Anarion and Isildur ruled co-jointly in Gondor as kings in their own right with their father, Elendil as High King of both realms in the northern city of Annuminas.

It would be amazing to see a series of this, but I'm afraid that it would get the GoT treatment. And we all know how that went.

Just keep it away from Amazon.

Saying Mairon, was known as Gorthaur, in the early First Age is not really accurate. While he was so named at that time by some, it was neither the only name nor even the most common way he was referred to. It was used between speakers of Sindarin only. Sauron, was used otherwise, though several other terms appear in various works. Sauron and Gorthaur have extremely similar meanings/connotations in Quenya and Sindarin respectively, something like "abhorred terror" or "dreaded anathema". Tolkien's propensity to give us multiple names for different places and characters can be utterly puzzling and confusing to new readers, along with those who haven't dug into the appendicies/read the Silmarilion or at least a few of the multiple versions of other tales like Beren and Luthien. It is quite possible this video came by it's perspective honestly, I certainly can't even keep all the variations of the Fall of Gondolin seperate in my head! I regularly think of Tuor wielding an axe instead of the sword Turgon had made at Ulmo's instruction, despite the axe Dramborleg NEVER appearing in any of the latest revisions made by Tolkien near the end of his life.

I don’t remember what happened to him or why he can’t replace Sauron’s body Gandalf, the wizards, plus a couple of other immortal creatures are equivalent to angels/demons/ fallen angels or demi-gods.
