>Sauron-Man, you’re allied with SAURON?
>>221168526Still does
>>221168526he wasn't allied with sauron he was explicitly trying to get to his ring first and use it against him
>>221168526Yeah, I always thought making Saruman's name so similar to Sauron's was a tad on the nose.
>>221168526>Gandalf the grey?>Gandalf the GAY !!!!!!!!!!!
>>221168801Sharkey was an ally though.
>>221168645That's in the book, not the (superioor) movie
>>221168526Seven Hells! Does Slimy Liarmouth know about this?
>>221168828He's so heckin valid!!!
Eyesengard... is allied with the Great Eye??
>We can't let Sauron obtain this ring! If he does, he'll become... about as powerful as he was the last time we defeated himhmmm
>>221168930Seriously, why didn't they just chop his finger again? No big deal.
>>221168930>>221168964even if sauron would just be back to his old power, it's the rest of the world who was now significantly weaker and more fractured. no chance.
>>221168930>about as powerful as he was the last time we defeated himThey didn’t have the ten-foot tall numenorean gigachads around anymore.
>>221168930Why does a giant eyeball need a ring anyway?
>>221168526His job was to study Sauron so he was their Sauron-man
>Foolish Gandalf, I have you trapped now>There is no escape from the roof of my open air prison>I won't even bother confiscating your elvish ring of power or your legendary first age sword>No one can save you now, except possibly the giant flying animal who you have been friends with for centuries
>>221169132>Sauron wanted a Giant eagle friend>All he got was a flock of crows At least he's not Radagast
>>221169046he wasn't an eyeball
>>221169002Is Aragorn weak?
>>221168801I always laugh at this one.
Bookchads, why wasn't Elrond at the final battle? He had better things to do?
>guy named worm tongue literally corrupting and aging your king for years >just do nothing about it Who the fuck wrote that?
>>221169937He has to stay in Rivendell with his magic ring or it will start falling apart. The elves are too concerned with holding on to their dying homes for as long as possible to help.
>>221168526
>>221169894saruman's angry face make it funny
>Boromir, get me the ring so I can briefly turn invisible and attract Ringwraiths to my current location it'll be funny lol
>>221168930>we defeated himI always love it when turbokids play team on whatever their ancestors did, yet refuse to live their lives as well, marry and have 20 kids.Instead smoking Old Toby and playing golf all fucking day lol
>>221169894>comfy goy inside
>Ring of ultimate power>Just makes the wearer become a bit of a dick
>NOOOO YOU CAN'T GIVE ME THE RING OF POWER IT WILL CORRUPT ME AND TURN ME EVIL>What about the ring of power that you're wearing right now?>That's different, this one is mine
>>221168645I bet this would work
>>221168983this. LotR is also a post-apocalypses story as much as it is a fantasy story. the fantasy is just coming to an end.
>>221168526Seriously though, why couldn't Tolkien come up with a better name?
>Finally I have reclaimed my One Ring (TM) ... I shall secure it ... on my cock! No man shall kill me, for only womanly lips shall touch it!
>>221170415>elves are boomerswho knu?
Sauron's name is actually Mairon.So he actually changed his name to sound more like Sauron-man, who's original name was Curumo.Mad at this, Sauron-man changed his name to Sharkey and then he died.He was a good friend.
>>221168930>Sauron gets the ring>ringwraiths immediately start attacking himwhat was the plan here?
>>221169937He was at the battle of Dol Guldur in the south of Mirkwood with Galadriel. The war was happening everywhere once the signal was given from Minas Morgul (skybeams aren't just a modern cinema trope).
>>221173724We've finally outwitted tolkien
>>221173117Let's count how many apocalypses Arda(Old Earth in Tolkien's stories) had been through by that time:>The Arda Marr (Melkor tries to seize the world, allowing evil to exist within it)>Destruction of The Lamps (whole world goes dark for thousands of years)>The War of the Powers (to protect the awakened Elves from Melkor, the Valar fight him, ripping the continents further apart, causing many Elves to not trust them)>Death of The Two Trees (The Lamps replacements are fed to Ungoliant by Melkor, now called Morgoth by the Elves, and the world is dark for years again, until the First Age of The Sun)>The War of Wrath (Beleriand; the western half of Middle-Earth sinks into the ocean. The Valar now swear to never do this again and the Second Age begins)>The Reshaping (Iluvatar changes the shape of the world from disc to ball, sinking another continent, Numenor and removing Aman into another dimension entirely)The world has had six apocalypses by the time of the War of The Ring. Seven if we count Melkor's discord which influenced how it was created, which is arguably the largest.
>>221169809Compared to his contemporaries? No. Compared to the Numenorean kings of old? Yes.
>>221174571The only canon book is the original version of The Hobbit. The LOTR "books" were just soulless cash-ins riding entirely off of the nostalgia from their illustrious predecessor. Basically the 1950s equivalent of the Star Wars sequels.
>>221168778Isn't it meant to reference that they are both mayar or whatever they are called, Tolkien's version of angels essentially, that Saruman was put there to replace Sauron when he 'fell' or became corrupted or whatever the fuck happened.
>>221174365where was this mentioned in lord of the rings?
>>221173724kek
>>221174610Okay, then according to the canon, there is no character called Aragorn, because he doesn't fucking appear in the Hobbit, you retarded contrarian.
>>221174793Glad we have that settled.
>>221168930I think it's valid worry.It's like you expecting current gens to go to war and defeat Adolf Hitler just because he got defeated in the past.Best case scenario many of them would join him and make him Kurt Cobain himself in another bunker
>>221169002Nor a kingdom of high elves.
>>221175467yes that you're outed as a retarded ebin contrarian trying to hard to fit in but can't contain your redit. Glad we did bitch nigga
"Hmm I must hire an advisor to help me rule my kingdom, who shall it be?"I've got this guy right here>"backstabber viper-poison"he seems like a trustworthy fellow
>>221168526Why didn't Iron Man fly the one ring to Narnia?
>>221168526>various events are unfolding>not that I care I'm too busy singing lol good luck with your errand, ring boy!
>>221177373Yeah it's basically like how Germany and Austria are never allowed to get back together again
>>221173048One ring is fine. Two rings? Now that's a fashion faux pas, nigga.
why didn't they just fly the Eagles over the mountains? they didn't need to ride them to mordor, just over the mountains instead of trying to walk on deadly clouds and then back through the mines full of monsters
test
>>221168801Got him
>>221168526Spamming is a bannable offense
>>221177477>Bomb-a-DileI mean, he's just a british edition of a Florida Man.
>>221179182Have a ring, have two.
>>221169168>At least he's not RadagastSeems to have a comfy life.
when Gondor called for aid, where was Teleporno?
Why didn't Elrond just push Isildur?
Its like poetry, it ryhmes. For everyone complaining about mordor murder, gandalf grandelf, saruman man of sauron, do you honestly think names like Chen Wu, Li Xu, or Wi Long would have been better?
>>221180609Just push a Numenorean holding the One Ring who defeated a fucking Maia?
>>221168930the west is far weaker now
>>221180657Poke the guy with your sword, then.
>>221174652both sauron and sauron man were influenced by the industrious god/angel, gandalf was sent back by God to replace sauronman as the head of the order which is why he became gandalf the white after sauron man went gay
>>221168930Because the Elves were leaving, men were greatly diminished, dwarves were fuck knows where. It's not like the last time with massive allied forces to destroy Sauron.
>>221168930you mean when even when they sent the strongest combined army of men and elves ever and still were losing to Sauron until he got his finger chopped by sheer luck?
>>221180629>Frodo>From Door>Samwise Gamgee>Samuel is wise, grand gee( G stands for God, samuel too, meaning god is wise)>Pippin pipes>merry merries
>>221180657>HELP>HELP>HELP>ISILDUR HAS BEEN POSSESSED BY SAURON>EVERYONE GET IN HERE AND HELP ME DESTROY THE RING
>>221168526>Time to turn Sauron, Saur-OFF.
>Legal Ass is a young, elfen trap?
>>221180657Yes nigger, what, was he immune to physics?
>>221168526>boomers thought this was the greatest plot twist imaginable
>>221173724Sauron knew the wight language so he could reason with them. It's all explained in the appendices
>>221171985This made me giggle like a fucking retard IDK why lmaoI'm almost 40 wtf
>>221168930Middle Earth has had mass immigration and ethnic replacement since then
>>221187085nta but how's it going to look when Elrond comes back down the mountain alone?>What happened to Isildur?>He refused to destroy the ring, so I had to destroy him as well.Would the human commanders have had at least some level of understanding or even trust that Elrond was speaking the truth? Maybe it would seem that the elves took advantage of the situation. Maybe Elrond refused to interfere because he was afraid the ring would influence him like it did Isildur? It's been years since I've seen the movies and longer still since the books so I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.
>>221180609why wasn’t elrond tempted to take the ring for himself? he was at mt doom itself where the influence is strongest?
>>221187273>Would the human commanders have had at least some level of understanding or even trust that Elrond was speaking the truth?Probably not, since the best of them was corrupted on the spot without even putting the ring on. The rest of them would have just thought he kept the ring and off'd Isildur. OTOH, if the mountain were to explode like it did in RotK, it would be a moot point as there's your proof that the ring was indeed cast in (ofc they'd all be dead...that's a LOT of eagles). However, Elrond seemed pretty confident that if Isildur were to cast the ring into the volcano that they weren't just going to get blown to smithereens since he was standing right there on the walkway.
>>221168526Who the fuck is sauron man?
>>221187381In the book he never took Isildur into the forge. He didn't tell him to destroy it either just that keeping it would be bad juju.
>>221187429i’m talking about the movie
>>221168778>wow I can’t believe a language reuses sounds for names. Isn’t that right George, Daniel and Jordan?
>Rings of Power actually used this meme to give Grandelf his name
>>221174653I wish we had gotten Dagor Dagorath
>>221187447In the movie he knows for a fact that the ring has a corrupting influence and won't allow itself to be destroyed, yet he still blames "men" for not destroying it. That scene makes no sense.
>>221169002Yeah I always forget that Isildur was like 7’6” or some shit.
