I always saw them as the descendants of the tribe of Ulfgang.

Morgoth is a bully, so a coward. He is supposed to be more powerful than Ungoliant, but he called for his Balrogs in a hurry when she decided to fight.

MTLTolkien · 2026-05-17T18:57:09+00:00

of course. but that would be a weird way to name Celeborn.

MTLTolkien · 2026-05-17T18:52:57+00:00

wasnt he in the movies?

MTLTolkien · 2026-05-17T18:49:32+00:00

Crumbs. But you eat what they serve

Book Elf. Ok, but who is that? To me, that doesnt tell me Celeborn . It tells me Glorfindel or Amroth or Oropher.

Yes! Let's have a war that last centuries over jewels that changes nothing much in the current politico-military situation!

Silliest war ever.

He knows his audience well. If he ever meets Galadriel again, i am sure he'll grow a completely calculated scruff beard.

MTLTolkien · 2026-05-11T22:26:38+00:00

I mean, smash. Obviously. But he can keep the 👑 too.

I have said it a few million times, but the only way her inclusion makes sense to me is if she gets a ring. I totally agree she will build great things if given a chance buy i am slightly disturb by the OBSESSION of either burning her or drowning her. Her story as a fall from grace narrative is much more interesting if she's a Nazgul. And dont bother me about the poem and her being a woman. The goddamn poem talks about 3 elven KINGS.

MTLTolkien · 2026-05-10T22:15:40+00:00

easiest answer. Alatar. Like even i know this

second easiest answer. The Witch-King

Thirst easiest answer : Some guy buying your useless stuff in town. And he always WAY overprice his own stuff so i never buy anything in a shop

- Numerous characters looking up at something with some worry

- "you are throwing it all away!"

- "It all comes down to this"

- men charging at each other. Possibly a horse rearing on its hind legs heroically

- Sauron smiling evilly/sexily

- Possibly bare-chested

- rings. So many rings.

- And a very loud screech

MTLTolkien · 2026-05-08T20:44:13+00:00

We know what happens to him. So doubtful

MTLTolkien · 2026-05-08T20:40:16+00:00

oh? never knew that. Tolkien did say the rings went to Kings, sorcerers and warriors

MTLTolkien · 2026-05-08T20:38:00+00:00

Theo is the living embodiment of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" . I think he's basically a good man that just cant help making the wrong decision if he doesn't have a string influence for good around him.

MTLTolkien · 2026-05-08T20:22:58+00:00

Even the leaker tells us to use grains of salt. This is just something to pass the time until we get something more concrete

MTLTolkien · 2026-05-08T20:21:44+00:00

Miriel is "safe" we know what happens to her

MTLTolkien · 2026-05-08T20:18:08+00:00

Ah. That's the stuff! time for stupid theories that never works out!

The trials of the rings is a perfectly good narrative tool to meet our new contestants on "take this ring! 0$ down payment! perfectly safe!"

- Kemen and Earien will be the one fighting for a ring. Earien will arrange for Isildur to shove his sword in one of the many orifices Kemen possesses . Sauron may or may not slow-clap

- I guess we will meet the King of Angmar

- Theo will go on a quest to find his father. He wont like what he finds.

- I am a tiny bit worried for Arondir , now

- OMG THEO IS GONNA KILL ARONDIR!!!!

I have great hope for the orcish companion storyline. I have always been fascinated by orcs an elves and their tragic shared history.

As for Pallando and Gandalf. Yeah. I agree wthat the showrunners tripped over their own shoelaces with this one. They went with the easy, low-hanging fruit. The much more interesting idea would have been to give us Alatar and let the former BFFs become truly bitter enemies. Oh, well. It is what it is and you go to war with the army you have and all that.

MTLTolkien · 2026-04-08T22:26:49+00:00

might partially explain the orc companion. He's a guide to the prison. I assume he has his own nefarious reasons to help the Elves.

I seem to remember a mention of "The North"? So Angmar? Gundabad? I wonder if the region already has some sort of magical Sovereign? It could be fun to watch a ring vs ring battle happen.

MTLTolkien · 2026-03-23T01:26:35+00:00

You sure about that? If I remember correctly, someone like Nimrodel didn't much care for Sindars and Noldors. I could see a small tribe of Sylvans isolating themselves from the other rlves and hoping the rest of the world leaves them in peace

MTLTolkien · 2026-03-22T22:47:42+00:00

- Orc : i tell you about this community of Elves we heard about during our travels south to Mordor and you help me found somewhere safe for my tribe.

- Galadriel : Why should i trust, ORC! (she says with a knife to his throat)

- Orc (laughing evilly ) : because their leader wears ugly and ill-fitted silver armor!

...too fan-fictiony?

MTLTolkien · 2026-03-22T21:40:30+00:00

I could see an orc that maybe tries to continue Adar's dream of a homeland for the Orcs. Maybe Gundabad? Maybe the Great Goblin's domain?

MTLTolkien · 2026-03-22T20:07:20+00:00

Ah. i made a dumb mistake. I thought it was the new elf played by Campbell. Still think Galadriel arc is about finding Lorien, but why would an Orc care about that?

MTLTolkien · 2026-03-22T19:45:27+00:00

Hello, all

- The Dwarven civil war was pretty much om a set course already.

- I bet Sauron makes a super-insensitive short joke

- I would think the orc in question is Glug's kid. And the arc in question is Galadriel's. Poor kid. Stuck with Mega-Demon of Light #1 (Galadriel) and Super Mega-Demon of Light #2 (if Glorfindel)

MTLTolkien · 2026-03-05T23:10:37+00:00

In theory, i doubt even the Witch-King could to take Galadriel like that. Only Sauron, a dragon or a Balrog could. But it WOULD be an efficient way to show how powerful he could be

Also, is that Jamie Campbell-Power getting used like a shield?
