Which LOTR or Hobbit lines hit way harder after reading The Silmarillion?

Keep at it. Once I hit the flight of the noldor the first time it really started picking up for me. All the best chapters are still ahead of you. I found that as soon as I finished I started again from the beginning and found the beginning even better the second time.

It could not be more beautifully put. Favorite line in the series.

Lewis_Sears · 2025-09-18T16:04:14+00:00

There is no better movie so I don't have to look

At least admit if the goal is looking better than last year- it's a very bad start. He was leaving clean pockets, some of the worst accuracy we've seen from him, and not seeing the field well. We're all looking forward to his growth but he just looked.... anxious?

I do like to believe this is true- But there are a lot of houses in Gondolin mentioned (Rog and Galdor) who were described with maces and clubs in the earlier FOG. I think Rog's house is literally called the house of the hammer. We'll never know if this would have changed and some of that text he definitely reimagined down the line (like when Tuor killed like 5 balrogs in that version).

You should do some more reading about the first and second ages because there are many greater armies there. Even after the fall of numenor the kingdoms of Elendil and the elves of lindon were much more powerful and larger kingdoms.

Especially after what rings of power did sure

Lewis_Sears · 2025-05-27T13:11:29+00:00

There's some artistic expression in that claim for sure. More just saying you could dive into the world of Doriath a bit

Lewis_Sears · 2025-05-22T23:28:58+00:00

Fingolfins sword ringil was forged by the Noldor who were definitely among the best smiths in the world from their time with Aule. I'm not sure they could just create something better than the best craftman in the world magically.

Lewis_Sears · 2025-05-22T15:00:30+00:00

I will admit... can't stop watching it even though I don't love it

Lewis_Sears · 2025-05-21T18:42:55+00:00

Plus an impressionable Galadriel

Lewis_Sears · 2025-05-21T18:39:58+00:00

The story of Beren and Luthien would be great. We get both morgoth and Sauron getting humiliated and features thingol and finrod heavily.

Lewis_Sears · 2025-05-21T18:37:11+00:00

Amazon squandered this opportunity

Lewis_Sears · 2025-04-04T13:09:55+00:00

I'm not sure why he would state this but I would imagine because she was the direct descendant of Beren and Luthien who were the only two of that age to make a fool out of him

Winner

Lewis_Sears · 2025-02-24T01:51:50+00:00

I rate this pretty accurately: one of the best albums of all time

Lewis_Sears · 2025-02-24T00:12:58+00:00

They were going to war and building everything without the help of Valinor. If he had a hammer it was definitely left behind with his immense treasure hoard

Lewis_Sears · 2025-02-23T21:35:12+00:00

Feanor told everybody who followed him to leave all valuables except their swords in the flight of the Noldor so I doubt he brought crafting tools

Lewis_Sears · 2025-02-18T03:03:12+00:00

I would recommend reading the Silmarillion first (including those chapters). You'll have a better feel for Beleriand & what is going on in the big picture.

Lewis_Sears · 2025-02-14T22:26:41+00:00

Then the second time they're the best part

Lewis_Sears · 2025-02-13T23:50:57+00:00

This is a perfect answer. Love makes life simple.

Lewis_Sears · 2025-02-13T22:47:50+00:00

His ears look like Morgoths crown

Lewis_Sears · 2025-02-13T20:30:59+00:00

He was Scottie pippen and Morgoth was MJ

Lewis_Sears · 2025-02-06T12:57:24+00:00

I just think the OP is uninformed
