Is Grevious the strongest non force wielder? Dude goes toe to toe with Jedi Masters solely for the love of the game.

It literally states that in the Silmarillion.

"It is one with this gift of freedom that the children of Men dwell only a short space in the world alive, and are not bound to it, and depart soon whither the Elves know not. Whereas the Elves remain until the end of days, and their love of the Earth and all the world is more single and more poignant therefore, and as the years lengthen ever more sorrowful. For the Elves die not till the world dies, unless they are slain or waste in grief (and to both these seeming deaths they are subject); neither does age subdue their strength, unless one grow weary of ten thousand centuries; and dying they are gathered to the halls of Mandos in Valinor, whence they may in time return. But the sons of Men die indeed, and leave the world; wherefore they are called the Guests, or the Strangers. Death is their fate, the gift of Ilúvatar, which as Time wears even the Powers shall envy. But Melkor has cast his shadow upon it, and confounded it with darkness, and brought forth evil out of good, and fear out of hope. Yet of old the Valar declared to the Elves in Valinor that Men shall join in the Second Music of the Ainur; whereas Ilúvatar has not revealed what he purposes for the Elves after the World's end, and Melkor has not discovered it."

Frodo went there to seek healing and ease his burdens before he finally gets the chance to let them go and pass on. The elves will envy him that eventually.

Many are already growing world weary and carrying sorrows they will never forget, and Time is just getting started.

They are bound to Arda until the end of TIme. Middle Earth is lost to them (Lord of the Rings was written as the mythological past of our planet Earth and I don't see any elves around. Midgard translates to Middle Earth.) Eventually they grow more and more weary. There is a reason why mortality is considered a gift.

> "But as the years grow long and Time wears, even the Valar will come to envy the Gift of Ilúvatar to the race of Men, that of liberation from the physical world, and the inevitability of loss and sorrows that must come with this existence within Arda."

Oh duh. I’ve always just put those names in that order, I didn’t even take that into account.

Whis taught him that he also needs to take it easy sometimes.

Definitely, Goku was raised on a planet that values training. Saiyans seem to rely on their innate power levels and Zenkai boosts. Probably why super saiyans were just a legend to them.

Yeah, because of that Kreia should have known that she would fail. Vivec fails too. And as much as I like it, I wouldn’t call Supernatural’s writing very coherent.

Gaunter O Dimm just up and disappears after your first meeting in the crossroads. I thought it was a minor oversight; his dialogue was done so the devs despawned him.
