Its an anagram of his name. If you drop the "I am" it doesn't work
>Tom was so fricking autistic he just HAD to form that phrase from the letters of his full name
So did he come up with the "I am" part first, or was it the "Voldemort" part? Why did he think "I am" was important? Did he predict that somebody was going to decipher his riddle so he could see the look on their face as they uncovered his shocking secret?
I bet he was rubbing his hands together and grinning as he thought up his clever plan, feeling proud of himself.
"EVIL LORD DOOM MART" For all your Dark Arts shopping needs!
This is the same man that ripped his soul into seven parts because the number was supposed to be magical.
It’s the man that made the containers for said soul, the items that it was utterly vital go unnoticed, from historical artefacts that literally anyone who knew of the hogwarts houses would recognise.
The same man that came up with a pants on head moronic, convoluted plan to grab a kid and keep his return a secret, despite the fact he assumed one of his followers was going to squeal to Dumbledore the second he realised it.
He’s an overly grandiose dipshit, and the consistency of him shooting himself in the foot is one of the best written facets of the series
And somehow he still had all the other wizards pissing their pants in terror, afraid to even mention his name.
>And omehow he still had all the other wizards pissing their pants in terror, afraid to even mention his name.
Everyone in Harry Potter is braindead stupid. These people could conquer the whole Earth in a week and have a capable interstellar empire in a matter of decades but instead they make stupid magic candy and play footy on brooms.

Projection. Didn't they lock Sirius Black in hell jail for basically no reason? Kind of hard to think of these as the good guys when they have satan monsters that eat your soul as prison guards.

The wizarding world is insanely small. There are like 3 schools in all of Europe, and Hogwarts is the largest, and it only had like 1000 students. The entire wizarding world is like 50,000 people tops, globally.

Now to be fair, magic does work poetically, so by using those symbols and using the "magical" number of 7 etc. it does increase the magic power of the spell in Harry Potter. That's constantly alluded to. So Voldemort was unto something.
Everything JK Rowling does is constantly retconned because she doesn't think very far into the future. I guarantee she came up with the name Voldemort long before she ever even thought about what his real name should be, then retroactively made up his real name as an anagram. Same reason the basilisk fang was used to kill the diary because it was just a convenient sharp object nearby and then a few books later it becomes one of the few legendary items that can destroy horcruxes. JK Rowling just makes shit up as she goes along and then digs backward for convenient ways to close newly created plotholes.
It's all the same shortsighted bullshit that makes every big plot development feel like a complete asspull.

Frick off, Black person. I hate trannies and like that Rowling is willing to speak out against them, but that doesn't make her a good fiction writer or improve Harry Potter.
i always liked how they had to change his name to still make this bit work in other languages, here in germany he is tom vorlost riddle for "ist lord voldemort" so it has is instead of i am

Go on and solve this then if your so smart. Beat's the Hobbit's shitty riddles at least.
Probably The Long Goodbye with Eliot Gould.
It's not a very good mystery but I really like the modified setting compared to Chandler's original and Gould is a fun actor. I know a lot of people critique the film for being 'subversive' or 'ironic' but I watch it as a genuine film and enjoy the performances and story. Plus Arnold is in it.
Hear me out Cinemaphile, I need your help. I watched these movies with a friend last week and I still don't get what the frick was his goal? I thought it was oppressing muggles because wizards are like the final stage in human evolution or some shit like that, but my friend told me that was Grindelwald's plan, not Voldemort's. Then I said "Ok, he wants to rule the magic world... through the ministry or some sort of institution like that", and he said no, but that he does want to rule the world and I DON'T FRICKING GET IT HOW WOULD THAT WORK AND TO WHAT END IS HE DOING ALL OF THIS AND WHY DOES HE GET PEOPLE TO FOLLOW HIM
But wasn't his own mother a race traitor? doesn't that make him a mutt? or was this J. K. making some smartass millennial writing here by implying that racists usually are mutss in denial or some shit like that?
>or was this J. K. making some smartass millennial writing here by implying that racists usually are mutss in denial or some shit like that?
it's just irony anon, it's funny that voldy seethes so much over blood purity when he doesn't have it
Alright, but what would be Voldemort's reason to be such a sperg about pure blood wizard supremacy then? if the leader and the "most trusted general" are both half-blood, then apparently being half blood doesn't imply a skill problem, so that can't be it. Am I supposed to believe that he just has an autistic fixation on this specific topic? Also, I don't see why would you, a magical mutt, kill all non magical aryans in the magical world and don't expect that situatiation turning against you later on.
This seems like a major plot point.
Ok so, in the books they go through his whole psychology and upbringing. His mother was an ugly witch who used a love potion to seduce his chad muggle father. This caused endless insecurities within himself because his father didn't want his mother (or him) and his mother relied on date rape drugs to conceive him. So as a way to lash out he created this alter ego "voldemort" he projects outward as this uber adolf hitler type of wizard that will rally all the pure bloods to take over the wizarding world. So he had grandiose plans, and he used his newfound power to eliminate his insecurities by making this alter ego. Nobody would have ever found out about it because he killed everyone who knew of it. The only reason we know it is that Dumbledore found out about it but he is one of the strongest wizards in the world. As for the why, well you need some way to rally the masses so he uses blood purity to make the old wizarding families join him. So, he is a nihilistic sociopath who only cares about his own power while also being deeply insecure of his own upbringing and thus uses whatever he can to get more power and get more followers.

Yeah somewhat like that. He rules the wizarding world through the ministry and he simply makes the muggle leaders bow down to him through magic, but we didn't see that or what his actual plans were because he never got to rule over the wizarding world.

He's a textbook narcissistic sociopath who's afraid of his own mortality. Here's a redpill for you - the worst people in history don't have any hidden depth to them - they just want power and control at any cost. Same goes for serial killers, their brain is just fricked, no deep reason for killing besides that.
>what would be Voldemort's reason to be such a sperg about pure blood wizard supremacy then?
He is the direct (and last) descendant of Salazar Slytherin, one of the most renowned (and racist) wizards of al time. For an orphan with a superiority complex, that must mean a lot. The fact that his mudblood side is what saved him form inbred moronation that his father and uncle had is quietly swept under the rug.
>don't expect that situatiation turning against you later on.
It is heavily implied that his followers don't know he's a mutt, and his mutt followers aren't going to be open about their own bloodlines. Moreover, very, and I mean very, few people are actually purebloods and you're not going to do much with less than a dozen followers.
>or was this J. K. making some smartass millennial writing here by implying that racists usually are mutss in denial or some shit like that?

Its a "Hitler wasnt German" thing.
In the books its pretty clear that Voldemort is not even in the same mindset as the other Death Eaters who just want to live in luxury.
>things need to be spelled out in a kid's movie
W-WHAT
Maybe if they didn't do so much exposition millennials wouldn't be such morons?
he probably had some brain injury while he was living with his aunt
Drop the “I am”, it sounds cleaner

I mean he was like 12 when he came up with it, it honestly does seem like something that a child would think is cool.
>Odd Immortal Lover
>Immortal Dove Lord
I guess these weren't cool enough for him. The last one seems pretty rad, personally.

He wanted to make something cool sounding out of his name but couldn't do it without extra vowels.

his name is literally Riddle
holy frick JKR I KNEEL deepest lore
It’s an affirming mantra. Just saying Lord Voldemort is nothing. Saying “I am” declares that he is indeed Lord Voldemort
Even better is that Tom is short for Thomas. So he used his full name but shortened his first name anyway.

Wait, so his parents named him exactly so he could make this sentence?
No, the writer gave him a name that could be rearranged into that

He wants the wizarding world a pure blood world so first he takes care of the mudbloods and race traitors and then he takes over the world.

Yes, Snape his most trusted general was also a mudblood "half blood prince". It was JK rowling pretending bad people are also hypocrites.
...but that's dumb.
It's based on that liberal idea that Hitler was secretly israeli.
