WHAT WAS HIS MOTHERFUCKING GODDAMN PROBLEM?
>>214844066He sided with the devil against God and feels too embarrassed to admit he was wrong.
>>214844066Read here: https://fair-use.org/j-r-r-tolkien/notes-on-motives-in-the-silmarillion/>>214844286He literally did admit he was wrong but went back to being evil anyway.
>>214844066He was a chud who wanted perfect order which to him meant everything and everyone needed to be controlled
>>214844066Better question is how the fuck did those savages orcs build that tower/fortress
>>214845710Slavery. They were buckbroken by their Black Numenorian massas
>>214845685>Melkor could not, of course, "annihilate" anything of matter, he could only ruin or destroy or corrupt the forms given to matter by other minds in their subcreative activities.Such semantics. No matter is ever created or annihilated. That doesn't mean things aren't routinely destroyed in either a literal or metaphoric sense.
>>214844066he was upset about being typecast as the badguy
>>214845710Tolkien's Orcs canonically invented gunpowder, not Saruman. He specifically said they loved engineering too.
>>214844066why didn't denthor just ask his allies to put more tariffs on soran?
>>214844066He was driven mad by having to feel Gollum slip the ring over his withered finger-shaped penis for centuries.
>>214845752the word you're looking for is "sanctions"
>>214845740>Such semantics.No, Morgoth's goal was to undo creation and Tolkien is saying he'd always fail for exactly that reason.
Why did Eru take so long to intervene?
>>214845787Wouldn't Melkor become aware of that fact really quick as a wise and powerful archangel?
>>214844066>I-I-IS THAT A TREE!?>WHY!! WHY IS THERE A FUCKING TREE IN MY INDUSTRIAL WASTELAND!?!?>NOOOOO!! THIS CANT BE HAPPENING!! I WONT ALLOW THIS!!!
>>214845807billions had to die first
>>214844066>>214845833>Get that shit in order>order
>>214845807Because of free will or something
>>214845808Tolkien says he was crazy and stupid and lying to himself right there. He directly equates evil with stupidity. God is all-perfect so rebelling against God is necessarily, fundamentally wrong and stupid.
>>214845807Eru only intervened to stop Ar-pharazon's golden armada of steampunk numenorians from wrecking Valinor. Gollum slipping was providence, not divine intervention. Fated happenstance. The distinction is important. For one thing Sauron felt safe being evil knowing that God only ever got involved with Arda one time and seemed to have lost interest in it afterwards. Even Gandalf had no faith that Eru cared, he never told anyone to pray and trust in Eru's love. He knew the gods cared but everyone seemed to agree that God had checked out.
>>214845891Why did Eru make Melkor, the most powerful of his archangels, retarded on purpose
>>214845891>>214845974>Sauron had not served Morgoth, even in his last stages, without becoming infected by his lust for destruction, and his hatred of God (which must end in nihilism). Sauron could not, of course, be a sincere atheist. Though one of the minor spirits created before the world, he knew Eru, according to his measure. He probably deluded himself with the notion that the Valar (including Melkor) having failed, Eru had simply abandoned Eä, or at any rate Arda, and would not concern himself with it any more. It would appear that he interpreted the change of the world at the Downfall of Númenor, when Aman was removed from the physical world, in this sense: Valar (and Elves) were removed from effective control, and Men under God's curse and wrath. If he thought about the Istari, especially Saruman and Gandalf, he imagined them as emissaries from the Valar, seeking to establish their lost power again and colonize Middle-earth, as a mere effort of defeated imperialists (without knowledge or sanction of Eru). His cynicism, which (sincerely) regarded the motives of Manwë as precisely the same as his own, seemed fully justified in Saruman. Gandalf he did not understand. But certainly he had already become evil, and therefore stupid, enough to imagine that his different behaviour was due simply to weaker intelligence and lack of firm masterful purpose. He was only a rather cleverer Radagast — cleverer, because it is more profitable (more productive of power) to become absorbed in the study of people rather than of animals.
>>214845835Chud coded
>>214846076All of the Ainur were like children in the beginning. They were still learning. It was more like curiosity than evil that drove Melkor to disrupt the music. He was chastised for fucking creation up and was allowed to help mend it. That's what he did at first. But his pride at being the best at everything, which prompted his rebelliousness to begin with, wouldn't allow him accept what the imperfection he'd caused. He hated the world for being broken and all the more so because he was the one who'd broken it.
>>214846094>radagast confirmed as brainletNot like this /an/bros...
>>214846094>But certainly he had already become evil, and therefore stupid
>The Mister of the RingsWhy don't Mexicans have a word for "lord".
>>214844066LOTR is already a fantasy about a bunch of undeveloped, nature-loving, medieval morons winning against an industrial superpower ruled by an angel written by a reactionary monarchical-anarchist.
>>214844066only one eye, heavily inflammed
>>214844066what was he going to do when he got the ring?he's a giant firey eyeball
>>214845703>perfect order>a world of IQ 60 orcs fighting over maggoty bread
>Makes ring that's easily lost/stolen>Goes into battle with it on the outside of his fucking armor>Loses ring>Becomes shitty eye that can't move>Can't do jack shit and has to rely on retards to make sure the ring doesn't get destroyed>All of his armies fail to stop a single fucking hobbit>Absolutely nobody guarding the entrance to Mount Doom as a contingency
>>214849028The orcs were slave cattle who don’t matter. The Numenorians and other corrupted humans who sided with him would be the true rulers of Middle Earth. Everyone would bow and submit to his designs
>>214844066he was caught in a rat race he didn't want to lose.
>>214849412look up the word "hubris," you seem unfamiliar with the concept
>>214849463Correct. He called himself the King of Men, not the King of Orcs.
>>214849412>don't read>bitch about hackson's flickEvery time.
>>214844066He's the incarnation of Satan on Middle Earth
