The end of this book makes my heart ache
What about Gothmog vs Fingon? The Balrogs destroyed the high king of the Noldor.
You said that we don't have any evidence that Sauron knew about the balrog, but we don't have any evidence for the opposite either. So I'm gonna continue believing that he knew. I think Sauron kept the balrog in Moria in order to use him as a surprise in the upcoming attack on Lothlorien. But of course, at that point the balrog had suffered from a fatal case of unalivement.
I seemed to have completely missed these quizzes.
Hi, thanks for doing that War of the Rohirrim review. I really liked the movie too and I'm happy to see it get some appreciation. I can tell that they cared about preserving the spirit of Middle Earth and I think it was much better for it. Seeing so much negativity surrounding it was really depressing because I don't think it deserved it at all.
I agree with John We’re lucky what we got with the animated film but it’s a shame it was done to keep the rights .my personal issue with it the Dune-landings were mostly evil and we did not get much stuff on there culture
I quite liked the movie. It doesn’t come close to lotr, but you can’t match greatness imo. So I didn’t expect that
It's like finding an oasis, one filled with good books, and good conversation.
I love your answer that the kine that Orome kept in the deeps of time were bigger considering the Valar had feasts it would make sense they’d probably be eating larger sized cattle than us humans so them being larger back in the day to me makes a lot of sense
