It began, with the forging of the great rings. Which were never seen nor heard from ever again.
>>223472064I dunno I'd say the one ring plays a pretty prominent role in the story.
>>223472068omg shut the fuck up retard
>>223472108omg bitch like, for real?
>>223472108>>223472164have sex with each other
>>223472064Galadriel mentions her ring twice in the movies.the dwarves who got them are long dead and were buried with them.the human kings are now ringwraiths and are still wearing them, they were enslaved via those rings
extended editions suck dick
LotR is absolute bullshit. Contrived, emotionalism nonsense equivalent to capeshit where you know the ending before you even watch it. Only pretentious retarded faggots think this pretentious trash is actually good
>>223472064>the story is about where the rings are now and keeping an account of their whereabouts Smard.
>>223472064>never seenYou weren't paying enough attention OP.
>>223472064Gandalf is wearing one of the rings albeit. Its power gives those around the person wearing it courage and resilience iirc
>>223473015Nah dawg that's in the gamecube game
>>223473040nigga where you think they got the idea?
>>223472629>Ugh, there's no SUBVOORSION? How can I watch a movie that doesn't SUBVOORT? I need my jaded, post-ironic expectations to be validated by SUBVOORSION! What is this authentic emotion crap, this doesn't SUBVOORT anything!
>>223473040It's in the books, you know.... the source material.
>>223472064That elf in the back looks old as shit. Is he a firstborn that saw the light of the two trees or some shit?
>I'm going to put all of my power in this ring for some reason!>FUCK, I DROPPED THE RING!Was Sauron retarded?
>>223472629>where you know the ending before you even watch itDid GRRM write this? How is this a bad thing?
>>223473015That's the sort of shit I'd wear for ten minutes and then sell because I found better accessories.
>>223472064All elves should be killed
>>223473230He needed to charge it so he could use it to mind-control the leadership of the other races. In the end it only worked with humans because they are retarded (you're a good example).
>>223473331T. Grishkab Urgleburt
>>223472470>the dwarves who got them are long dead and were buried with them.this wasn't said in the movies
>>223472064did you forget about galadriel talking about her ring to frodo?
>>223473230It’s like losing your wallet. It just happens. You seriously gonna carry all your daily financial goods separately just to be safe? No, you put it in a single place, a wallet.
>>223473230he didn't put his powers into the ring, at least not counsciouslyhe only gave his will, malice
>>223472470I'd like to get to know Galadrialel's ring better... if you catch my drift
>>223472691Wait so sauron exerted control over all rings he forged with his one ring, why didn’t he just mind control gandalf and galadriel?Like, they both continue to wear said rings when a halfling is waddling around toward mordor… even when he doesn’t have the one ring the ringwraiths (they were once men) are still slaves to his will.Am I missing some lore or something? Also what was aragorns tax situation and why were the ringwraiths trannies???
>>223472064Would stick my benis in her great ring, if you know what I mean
>>223473424The three elvish rings were made without Sauron's direct aid, and as such his control over them is a lot weaker. Pretty ballsy to continue wearing them with Sauron back in actions, but they are basically the only thing keeping those two Elvish realms alive.
>>223473424The 3 Elven Rings were made by Celebrimbor alone, and in secret. The only way Sauron could have exerted his control over Gandalf, Galadriel and Elrond was if he got back the One Ring.
>>223473332>needs to mind control his enemies because be can't win against them fairly despite being a god>gets his fingers (with the ring on) cut off by a MANSauron was a little bitch now that I think about it.
>give seven rings to the Dwarves>they make them kill themselves>give nine rings to Humans>they make them destroy their kingdoms and become jobbers wearing halloween robesWow, really good plan there, Sauron. Just kill everyone off by giving them rings. Then eventually you'll have a million miles of barren wasteland all for more orcs to stand around doing nothing when all enemies are gone.
>>223473366I had my wallet stolen from me once. The entire city I was in didn't collapse because of that, though.
>>223474004The objective is to be a tyrant with an iron fist. Not to rule a fostering healthy realm.
>>223472064This looks like the kind of picture women take (of themselves) and then say "POV" about.
>>223472108lmao kwab
>>223474004Destabilized nations are easier to conquer.
>>223473098>the booksThe what?
>>223474371I cannot sanction your buffoonery.
>>223473080>>223473304pretentious faggots found
>>223472108he raped you hahahahah
>>223474004Sauron didn't want a kingdom to rule, he just wanted to dominate all Middle Earth. With Morgoth out of the picture (temporarily) he could just go full turbo autist and conquer everything ready for Daddy Melkor to come back.
>>223472108welcome to Hell, idiot
Why didn't Sauron make all of his armor out of One Ring stuff?
>>223475499inflation was pretty bad in Mordor at the time
>>223472484The theatrical cuts are unquestionably better movies, if you want the full, unabridged Lord of the Rings just read the book
>>223473080>>223473304Lord of the Rings (the book) IS subversive. The Hobbits return to a Shire that's been burnt to the ground and industrialized. No matter how far they've come, the world is forever changed. Peter Hackson, however, rejected this, and WANTED Lord of the Rings to be a generic good guys win and live happily ever after ending. All of the characters are flattened and streamlined.
you know how the One Ring adapts in size to fit the wearer right well what if you put it on your cock would it feel good or make you really horny but the thoughts are like evil horny thoughts y'know what's going on there?
>For it was said that the race of Elves, so perfect and unsullied by the vulgarities of man, were not subject to the degrading practice of defecation. So pristine was their back passage that they could enjoy the pleasures of sodomy without regard for a thorough preparatory enema and the penetrating partner could feel safe in the knowledge that their member would emerge covered in nary a trace of foulness.
>>223473984In the silmarillion he was beat up by a giant dog iirc.
>>223475551I think the LotR movies endured this long because of their happy ending. Still, I wish Jackson had filmed a short twenty minute scene depicting the scouring. Saruman as a decrepit old man fucking up the hobbits in the Shire until our heroes and Grima kill him off. Would have been great and not terribly costly to film. 1000x better than just having him vanish in the theatrical or get shanked in the back and fall on a spike in the extended. Those were both idiotic choices. Then the true fans could still have their scouring they could splice into the movies if they wanted
Why did Sam eat all the Lembas bread? Fatty could have shared
>>223472629Calm down Ivan, it's a children's story. It's nobody's fault but yours that you chose to see yourself as the villain.
>>223473230>he doesn't min-max a glass cannon build
>>223475551>No matter how far they've come, the world is forever changed.But after defeating Saruman they rebuild Didn't they rebuild The Shire as it was before?
>>223473491>his control over GandalfI dont understand how he could control Gandalf. Arent they beings of same power level?
>>223472064The elven rings are what extended their lives in the mortal world. Once that was gone, that's why they had to leave to the undying lands to survive because living short lives while growing old is something they're not used to. The human rings fed the natural human instinct of greed and lust for power. The Dwarven rings heped the dwarves become the finest craftsmen in all of Middle Earth. Sauron didn't give any rings to the Hobbits, Orcs, Goblins, shape-shifters, or anyone else. Instead he called them the N-word and blew them off.
>>223473360My girlfriend is dyslexic so I have some sympathy for you Anon but no one will make fun of you if you just download an audiobook to your phone
>>223472108hahahahah
>>223473424Because he needs to have the one ring to accomplish that.If he got his one ring then yes Gandalf and Galadriel would have to ditch their rings.
>>223478066They are of the same order, meaning that both are Maia.But even among the Maiar, there are some that are more powerful that others, a a few are almost as mighty as the Valar even (like Ossë, or Eönwë).Sauron was already considered powerful among the Maiar, and although much diminished through the millennia - mainly due to imbuing a large chunk of his powers into the One Ring, as well as loosing strength from the Downfall of Númenor - if Sauron had the One, he could influence a Gandalf that's holding a Ring of Power, and who is consciously withholding his full power (by the command of the Valar).
>>223472064The 3 rings of the elves are worn by Galadriel, Elrond, and Gandalf. And because the elves made them themselves they're actually safe from Sauron's influence.Unlike the other rings which were made by Sauron and turn you into spooky ghosts.
>>223472064Celebrimbor is literally standing right behind Gandalf in this >>223472691scene.Back then Jackson still knew how to pay attention to details.Later he couldn't even get the fucking skin color right.
>>223479730>CelebrimborCírdan, you meant. Yeah, he was both in the prologue >>223472064 and the Grey Haven scene.>Later he couldn't even get the fucking skin colour right.true
>>223479546But we were told they were ALL of them deceived!
>>223473459Suron doesn't know about the 3 elven rings
>>223480009>>223479546For a "Lord" of the rings, his power from rings was really pathetic. I guess it killed off 7 of 9 Dwarf Kingdoms and 9 of 11 Human Kingdoms? The remaining ones were still enough to defeat him. And he needed a lot of help from Saruman or else he would have gotten curbstomped. If Saruman stayed good, then Saruman, Gandalf, and Radaghast would have teamed up to lead everyone else against Sauron and defeated him easily
>>223474602How nice of you to announce yourself.
>>223473424Not really. Galadriel has always been described as a wise cold bitch. She never used her ring before Sauron was destroyed and Sauron himself was never able to bamboozle her or read her thoughts. In fact, Galadriel actually reads his. That´s how much of a scary bitch she is. As for Gandalf he and the other istari were not on middle earth during the second age. They did not partake on the first war of the ring so he got his ring after Sauron´s first fall.
>>223476443I sure wish they've shot alternate scenes unbutchering the characters and introducing some of Tolkien's themes so these glorified theme park rides could be made into something resembling the original narrative.
>>223473424the rings are a weird part of the storythey're sauron's masterplan to control humans/elves/dwarves but the elves/dwarves are immune
>>223481641Didn't Sauron know that?
>>223481717apparently not. the rings were supposed to control all the races, but the dwarves proved immune and the elves immediately took their rings off, thwarting sauron's masterplan
>>223472441hehe
>>223472068Statistically speaking, since it showed up only like 1x after it was first lost, only to be destroyed before it could be used to any widespread effect, you could say it was never seen nor heard from again.
>>223472691>one cameo in the last 2 minutes of the last ep means it was seen all the time
>>223472108kek he’s done you
>>223480113>7 of 9 Dwarf KingdomsWorst Star Trek crossover episode ever.>>223480113>9 of 11 Human KingdomsNEVER FORGET
>>223472064Most crazy powerful shit that affects the world we live in goes unseen outside a relatively small group of people. Just look at our financial system. There's like 1% of the population who get how most of that shit works, and just being a little bit in the loop on it grants you six figure jobs.
>>223479978That's Elan Sleazebagano actually.
>>223472068>the great rings>rings>pluralShut up bitch
>>223477737>>223480259kek pretentious faggots folding their girly arms and responding scornfully
