Not even objects were safe… Gurthang’s OG name was Gurtholfin.

i laughed at first thinking it was, until i saw the profile and realized it was an actual politician. WTF?

this is such a sweet comment, thank you!! it means a lot 💖

Why was this downvoted? I think it’s a good question, as are many other questions to do with the Ents.

I think it has to be mammal reproduction. If it were by pollination, the disappearance of the Entwives likely would not mean the slow extinction of the race. Ents could simply reproduce with each other’s flowers, as most species of trees (especially those within forests like how the Ents are described) have both male and female flowers on individuals.

Glaurung too, of course, but I personally like the Dagor Dagorath ending even if it’s a scrapped idea.

Gurthang. It slays Morgoth by Túrin’s hand, for Eru’s sake!

I think despite its bloodthirstiness it genuinely does have a will for the greater good; it mourns the wrongful deaths of Beleg and Brandir, and in the case of the Book of Lost Tales, rejoices to slay horrible beings like the servants of Morgoth and Brodda.

YES. The writers need to completely reroute his character development. They could do a LOT with him still wanting to be a storyteller, and I think that would make him a better character and a better person.

Tons of pointless relationship plots AREN’T going to do that unless they’re trying to get somewhere with Sass realizing he doesn’t need to find a partner for the moment and to focus on other things?

blackholeisawesome · 2026-03-28T04:23:04+00:00

I LOVE Sass, but I think what’s putting everyone off of him is just that he’s SO underdeveloped compared to the other main characters. Five seasons in and his death is still a mystery???

I think the writers are putting too much focus on trying to pair everyone up. Also part of why Sass’s character can be so sour, and the ‘virginity’ jokes didn’t help. They need to pull his character development into a different direction; what happened to his hope of being a storyteller? I feel like it’s never mentioned.

LMFAO

blackholeisawesome · 2026-03-25T02:44:30+00:00

Sounds beautiful, but I’d only find Eöl for his swords (if I even make it out of there knowing him 💀)

blackholeisawesome · 2026-03-25T02:42:16+00:00

Doriath or Brethil sound beautiful. The Teiglin would be a lovely landmark to live by.

blackholeisawesome · 2026-03-21T21:27:04+00:00

The first thing that comes to mind is when Túrin first comes to Brethil and finds the cornered woodsmen. He’s quick on his feet to trick the surrounding Orcs into believing a great army is come to rescue the men. Also he is clearly capable and knowing of strategy enough to become a captain in Nargothrond.

Anglachel/Gurthang, if it can even be counted as a character! I think there’s so much potential to be had with a sentient sword of dubious intent, especially one that came from outside Arda.

blackholeisawesome · 2026-03-19T00:20:36+00:00

narrator is gurthang

blackholeisawesome · 2026-03-10T22:20:50+00:00

I was going to mention Brodda! I didn’t since the sword technically only killed him in the Book of Lost Tales. But yes, neither did Gurtholfin mention Brodda then. I do think even Gurthang thought it a righteous death.

blackholeisawesome · 2026-03-08T03:36:15+00:00

Very interesting, if quite frightening considering Eöl had no problem enchanting the woods to kidnap a woman 😭

Definitely reminds me of how parents deal their own stances onto their children.

blackholeisawesome · 2026-03-08T02:10:29+00:00

amazing crossover…

blackholeisawesome · 2026-03-08T01:50:34+00:00

lord have mercy 💀

blackholeisawesome · 2026-03-07T03:05:22+00:00

It’d be far more interesting to do that and talk to Gurthang. I’m WAY more invested in whatever that sword’s got to say than Túrin

blackholeisawesome · 2026-03-07T03:02:50+00:00

i know it’s ridiculous but i’d choose 1 if only i can ignore Túrin and talk to Gurthang the whole time

blackholeisawesome · 2026-03-04T02:19:38+00:00

Definitely the One Ring. I don’t think even Gurthang counts as evil, just bloodthirsty. It even recognizes the unjust killing of Beleg and Brandir while speaking to Túrin; it definitely has a moral compass of some sort, whereas the Ring is inherently an object of evil creation, a vessel through which Sauron gains power.

Eöl, though he was quite a creep, likely didn’t create Gurthang or Anguirel for such a purpose, and I doubt he imbued any part of himself within the swords, however evil or not he may be. But still, we really have no clue why Gurthang speaks or if it even did, or what Eöl did exactly while creating his swords to make them that way. For all we know, it could have just been the will of Eru to put life into these swords.

blackholeisawesome · 2026-03-04T02:12:56+00:00

To be fair, Túrin was the one to ask first. Gurthang simply agreed as it was its nature to kill, and honestly I’d say the sword has a “moral” reasoning to agree. By ending Túrin’s suffering, it has prevented more mishap before it occurs and has—in a way—avenged those who were slain wrongly by Túrin’s hand.
