There are the arcade games, the movies, the book and a cartoon show, all of which have different narratives. As terrible as some of it has been, the franchise keeps moving forward. Perhaps in another 50 years we may even get another set of movies or something based on the works of Tolkien because the story is just that good (and companies like money). Could any company destroy this franchise? Not likely.

There must be like 20 million fans of the books alive vs 300 million Netflix users that would clap at anything on the screen. They couldn't care less if Thomas the tank engine turns to be Sauron at the end. Everything is "stunning and brave", nothing else matters. And if you complain, you are out of the conversation, your comment deleted and the farce continues. I'm very sad. I think in a few decades there will be no more moral stories.

I have read Tolkien’s books for nearly 45 yrs. The Peter Jackson films added to my pleasure. The soundtracks even more. Your 3hr video does as well. I love the theme that I call “the long fight of good vs evil” …visible over the ages when one follows the storyline from age to age. It’s such a bittersweet tale- heroes arrive and are lost, evil persists generation after generation until the ultimate sacrifice is made to defeat it. And then a new spring of life emerges as the remnants of the old guard pass away. I mourn and feel the gravitas of the heroism and courage that lived these stories. I romantically long for/wish that this WAS OUR REAL HISTORY. Such is the talent of Tolkien. I did escape “this world” while I watched your video and I remembered the Tolkien tales it’s based on. And now I feel the melancholy of being back. Thanks Well done.

Tolkien would be so proud of this channel! The fact that he advised everyone who indulged in his works to look at all the stories of Middle-Earth through the eyes of a "historian", you guys took that quite literally. Thank you Wizards & Warriors/Kings & Generals! P.S. You can SUCK IT AMAZON!!

The beginning through the war of wrath has always been my favorite. It's not told the way the later (or earlier) tales are, but I love the legendarium more than anything. So many great battles in the FA, plus I think Morgoth being left out of the most popular books and later adaptations makes him even more interesting to the casual fan, I remember when I first read the silmarillion I was like oh.... Sauron is Starscream LOL (really the reverse)

Gotta give it to Sauron, after so many failures dude stayed motivated to get what he wanted. Never got it in the end but I respect the never give up attitude.

Absolutely insane work. To think we got a three movie series on such a tiny part of the history. There is so much here I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we get another trilogy. This is still one of the best made videos on YT. I’m always in awe at how much more lore there is. One of the best most beautifully crafted fictional universes. The fall of Arnor, the conquests of Gondor, the rise of dwarves, the first witch king war. There’s so much good media here it’s mind blowing.

It truly pay off to be a Tolkien geek. Here some Artist/Album I found for the curious : -Lind Erebros does beautiful music, awesome for reading or in general : *Elven Oratory - Rebirth of Light* (Covering the golden age of Valinor), *Elven Oratory - Noldolante* (Covering the Rebellion of Noldor and their battle to Morgoth), *Eleven Oratory - The Lay of Leithian* (Covering the Tale of Beren and Lúthien) -Blind Guardian awesome Power Metal music inspired by Heroic Fantasy : *Nightfall in Middle Earth* (Covering a good part of the Silmarils, one of my all time favorite music album, for those little audio scenes that you wouldn't understand if you didn't read the Silmarillion, but hearing Morgoth Cry when he's tangled by Ungoliant is brillant or when Morgoth tell Sauron to run from the War of Wrath before Morgoth get caught by the Valar) -Emyn Muil, Yes the artist named after the Emyn Muil where Frodo and Sam meet Gollum, does Atmospheric Black Metal, Symphonic Black Metal music. In some way it feels as if his music was imbued with Morgoth malice and I love it : *Turin Turambar Dagnir Glaurunga* (Cover the life of Túrin Turambar), *Elenion Ancalima* (Music inspired by Númenor) -Aaron Dunn, beautiful Instrumental Music perfect for reading. Aaron mostly do small albums : *The Silmarillion Symphony Ep​.​1: The Deeps Of Time* (Cover the beginning of Arda), *The Fall Of Fingolfin* (The second part of The Silmarillion Symphony, title mostly self explanatory), *The Fall of Gondolin* (could be The Silmarillion Symphony Ep.3 but its only two, way too short, music tracks but still pleasant to listen to), *Finrod* (Clearly inspired by Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth the fourth part of the book Morgoth's Ring) -Lonely Mountain Band, Traditional Folk Music perfect for starting your day : *Beyond the Western Seas* (Thematic music for the Elves), *Second Breakfast* (Thematic music for the Hobbits), *Songs of the Dwarves* (Thematic music for the dwarves) -Galadhrim, as it's name imply it's like if the Galadhrim (Elves that live in Lothlórien) were playing music : *Galadhrim* (how original, right? but it's a small artist and its first album, Focus or related on many well known Eleves such as Galadriel, Fëanor, Nimrodel or Tinúviel), *The Elder Days* (Silmarillion related with some good narrative music) -Summoning, Atmospheric Black Metal/Symphonic Black Metal. Another Artist that has imbue Morgoth style, that's typically the music I'd imagine Morgoth or Sauron would be singing in his dungeon or during the Ainulindalë : *Minas Morgul* (from the first age to the third age) -Archangel, Progressive Rock/Rock Opera : *The Akallabêth* (As it's title imply, it's a narrative music album about the Akallabêth, Aka The Falll of Númenor) Here's what I've found and still listen to them often, But I'll say that I have a crush for *The Akallabêth* and *Nightfall in Middle Earth* album as I often end up singing the music with our without the music accompanying me. To anyone, feel free to let me know what Music/Albums/Artists inspired by Tolkien you listen as I am glad I could share my passion of those Music/Albums/Artists.

This story is so awesome that it's almost incredible to have come from a single author! Leaving me totally speechless with the details.

it almost would have to come from a single authour, otherwise the lore would just get fucked up. I never hear nit picking details of Tolkien where people are in two places at the same time or time goes by too fast. That happens in Game of Thrones a lot because there are just so many characters to follow, but it never seems to happen in Tolkiens work

@@bvyup2112 I think it comes fown to the scope of each story. Tolkien basically has 4 books and the rest were just ideas and notes, he didn't actually write a lot of the back story of LOTR In detail, it was put together over decades. His son did an amazing job on actually making those notes cohesive stories. So I can imagine 30+ years of editing makes it possible to do that. That's not taking away from his genius world building or anything

Thank K&G and W&W crew for making such a good docu!

Im so happy i found this channel, been following kings and generals for a time and im a huge fantasy nerd so this is simply amazing, WELL DONE

This is incredible. What a joy to watch. I love this channel. No matter what, please keep making these videos, they are much appreciated.

That was awesome! Thanks for this video, please keep up the good work, these videos get me through some tough times!

Hope everything will get better very soon, hang in there!

The most amazing video I have ever seen on the subject. Thank you so much for all your hard work in making it. Especially all the quotations and references. I'm greatly look forward to seeing your video on the First Age you mentioned. Magnificent work! Thank you so much!!

this is fantastic, your dry humor is superb. the graphics really help tell the story anew. all in all well done, totally worth the 3 hours

This Lore Documentary is a gift, thank you and well done!.

This was the best history of Saron on Middle Earth video I have ever seen by far! The world on this must have taken hundreds of hours! You for my like and I subscribed! Totally the best ever on the subject!!!! Watch this and be amazed of the quality and be glad you took the time to do so!! I loved this!

This is amazing. Thank you. Bravo to the illustrators. I would love to see videos of the battles of the valar, the war of wrath and the silmarillion like THIS. It would be like having a complete guide to all of tolkien.. Even while reading the books this would add perspective to the battles. Wow. Just wow. I understand the geography and history of the families much better now. It also made me appreciate the how faithful the films were and see Jackson's changes and omitions in different light. Worth the long watch. SUBSCRIBED.

It's worth noting that your sponsor 'Established titles' is a scam, and violating several laws which is guaranteed to come back to haunt them.

Its so sweet that most of the fellowship made it to Valinor. Merry, Pippin, Aragorn and Boromir would certainly be missed, but the hobbits lying beside Aragorn always gets me. The greatest man of the last ages of men and 2 of the least of people, but equals and best of friends

Hey, I'm grateful that you folks put this whole thing together for me to view for free. I've been a fan of all your channels for as long as they've been up, a lifetime fan. Thank you so much for all that you do.

This is the best representation of Middle Earth battles in have ever seen. It deserves more likes and views

I really enjoyed watching this, it didnt feel like 3hrs for me lol, such deep lore and story telling, I just subbed, and I have watched your other videos to from the creation of ainur, to first age, until this one, I read the books but the way you tell the story is amazing W & W. Just imagine if this is show in tv shows and was run by showrunners who respect and honored Tolkien's lore, There's just so many that can be put into film, even those battle moments, where Isildur and his small Numenorean army fought off numerous orcs horde, to the point that he had to use the one ring to escape, and let one of his sons, Elendur kept fighting to buy his father some time, would be such an epic and emotional battle for sure.

This was really incredible, thanks so much for putting this together.

Always love the long videos, both here and at K&G

This is so flipping impressive! Amazing job! I've never felt nerdier, lol. Keep it up!

Wow.. I just watched and listened to this and I was charmed, thrilled, and horrified in turn. I'd read the books and watched the movies at different times in my life but this history really brought the deeds home. I'll probably watch and listen several times to get the names and places fixed in my head.

May i just say this guy who made all these videos is freaking awesome. Who are you?! You are an angel

This video was so awesome. Spent most of the day slowly watching through it, I would absolutely love one set around the first age

What a fking amazing video! I cant believe this got recomended to me only now. The amount of detail, the art, the narration! You, sir, just earned yourself a new subscriber!

I absolutely loved this, another annual activity along with the books and all the extended versions of all the movies to watch and enjoy till my dying days .... in Valinor I hope.

Thank you for this!! I could only imagine the amount of hours you all put into this masterpiece. I loved every second of this brilliance, thanks again

I hadn’t payed attention to the videos length so when I checked and saw there was still two hours to go I was punching the air in excitement XDD Superb vid, loved it!

If only there were more youtubers that put that much effort into their videos. Great video

I've already listened to all the videos in this series, some twice. Now I'm doing it again with no regrets; love this series and channel.

Hands down one of the best lore coverage of the 3rd age. This just shows that Rings of Trash deliberately went out of their way not to tell a good story. There is so much here.

Truly amazing video! I’ve always wanted a singular lore video of Tolkien’s amazing world building great job!

My goodness. The more content the better. This is the new library. Thank you everyone and god or whatever bless you.

Mist was sent by Galadriel to cover Eothed riders from sight of dol Guldur because they rode along Anduin from the north area west of Mirkwood where they lived.

Phenomenal story teller . This was masterfully done.
