Would Morgoth be able to withstand the full force and allure of the One Ring?
yes
>>214506886>>214506886Yes. He could possibly even unmake it - we know Feanor could, and as I recall if Saruman (according to Tolkien's letters) was able to complete his studies of Ring-lore he also would have been able to unmake the One, or make his own One.
>>214506886Yes, Morgoth was far more powerful and ambitious than Sauron and tried to taint creation itself. Like Sauron, he poured his essence into something but rather than an object, he did it to Arda. A lil ring aint doing shit
>>214506886morgoth at his weakest was roughly equal to sauron at his prime according to tolkien
>>214506886Tulkas could have just stomped them both.
>>214506886Anon, the entire planet is Morgoth's One Ring. His first move was to pour a vast portion of his essence directly into the planet.It's also the source of power for all the necromancers, warlocks etc.
>>214508187Is that why the progenitor of dragons (wyrms) literally crawled out of the depths of the earth?
>>214508506That's an iffy subject, since Morgoth is supposed to be incapable of creating life, only creating mockeries. And dragons are not warped Eagles, since those are Felbeasts. Tolkien somewhat suggested in one letter there are good dragons out there.
>>214508143One of Tolkien's most retarded decisions. >Morgoth is all powerful and the mightiest of the Valar>Uh, except for this strong wrestler guy. He can't beat him in a physical fightThat's some Superhero slop shit.
Probably, but even if he couldn't he would amplify his own power with the ring, destroy Sauron and then become it's new master. A consideration is that he was entranced by the Silmarils, but I imagine they were more powerful than Sauron's ring.
>>214508652Melkor was already greatly diminished by then.
>>214508652he never said he was all powerful, this is a you problem.
>>214508747What when he broke the lamps? That was like at the start of them coming into Arda. He ran away from Tulkas as he descended into Arda>>214508756Tolkien implied it. Only Eru was more powerful.
>>214508652Nowhere was it stated that Tulkas was stronger than Morgoth. Having said that, Morgoth was nearly beaten by a spider so I guess his physical force was nothing special. His power probably lay in his mind, he could probably unthink Tulkas from existence.
>>214508790>What when he broke the lamps? That was like at the start of them coming into Arda. He ran away from Tulkas as he descended into ArdaI thought he marred Arda when it was first created, during the music.
>>214508814He was long diminished by the time of the spider incident.
>>214508652maybe that nerd should have worked on his take down defense instead of fraternizing with a fucking spider.
>>214508560>That's an iffy subject, since Morgoth is supposed to be incapable of creating lifeMy understanding is that he can't create life out of nothing like Eru can, but he can rip out (spiritual or physical) chunks out of himself and mold that into new monsters. That's part of why he doesn't show up too often in person, he weakened himself greatly to produce his own armies (that and the leg injury).
>>214506886>fallen angel versus a literal fucking GodOP why are you making such retarded threads?
Morgoth would desire the ring, but it wouldn't dominate him.
>>214506886The Silmarillion is not for powerscaling fags.There is zero consistency at all. Morgoth can be powerful enough to challenge Eru, then weaker than a mortal; strong enough to spawn minions that can solo valar, yet also weaker than any valar.
>>214509731Why would he desire the ring unless to mog everyone weaker than him with something he doesn't need?>>214510473>The Silmarillion is not for powerscaling fags.Agreed
>>214510473>Morgoth can be powerful enough to challenge Eruno
>>214510473>Morgoth can be powerful enough to challenge Eru
>>214510473>Morgoth can be powerful enough to challenge EruNo>weaker than a mortalNo>strong enough to spawn minions that can solo valarNot a single instance of this happening >yet also weaker than any valar.Weaker than any single Valar in their*speciality* stronger than practically all Arda bound Valar combined
Gandalf is a type of Gollum.
