>Let us go through the Mines of Moria. My cousin Balin will give us a royal welcome...that is unless you know something I dont, Gandalf? That say for example they dug too deep in to the mountain and awoken a hell spawn that murdered them all and still runs free in the mines.. no? great lets go
I found it interesting that in the book instead of Sauron's man using magic to try and hamper them it's just the mountain being a dick which is why it's impassable.
The book has a lot more of the living earth itself presenting obstacles or outright antagonism to the quest or protagonists. The forest the hobbits go through has that dickhole Willow tree as well.
Wait hang on. In the book Sauron’s man is even less of a threat? Wow. Why did Sauron even pick him as his man then? Cos he acheives a fat nothing in the movies, but at least he can slow the fellowship down with his magic. Smh, Sauron should’ve picked a better man.
>nothing of value in the movies
He almost wipes out the second biggest city in the world.
IIRC it's implied that a lot of those natural obstacles are a result of Sauron's influence
> I read the book by the way!!!!! I read books!!!
That's exactly what happens in the film, you pretentious c**t.
Damn, that is some deep insecurity.
Why is this a fricking meme?
It's either that or freeze to death.
Crust is a meme.
>hmm i wonder what this magic ring that turns people invisible, sends them to the shadow realm and drives them insane could be
Duh it could have been any magic ring there are so many
>Oh do they ever run into another magic ring user
N-no.
>Seems like something powerful people would keep around and the story is full of them and yet the only magic ring is the one ring
Well you see uh… the silmarillon… uh.. unfinished tales!
>>Oh do they ever run into another magic ring user
>N-no.
They meet two in the first movie. Hell Gandalf himself is one.
They meet all 3
Elrond has Gil-galad's, Gandalf has Cirdan's, and Galadriel has hers still.
Not to mention Gimli's dad was bros with Thorin, who's dad has one.
Surely all the dwarf rings have been recollected by Sauron or eaten by dragons by the time of Fellowship, though?
>knew Sauron had come back 30 years prior
>knew Bilbo had a magic ring
>didnt do anything about it until Frodo was given the ring 30 years later
>had to go check the archives of Gondor to see what was so special about Saurons ring
considering the threat you would think he would research sooner
frodo had that shit sitting on a mantle piece for like a decade after dildo left too, gandalf was not hurrying his sweet little ass over it
I get the feeling Gandalf just kind of liked hanging out in Middle-Earth. He seemed sad to leave when the whole business of defeating Sauron was finished.
Gandalf the Grey is a bit of a goofy old man who loves good cheer and sometimes fricks around with his magic but he ultimately does what needs to be done when the need arises.
Only when he dies and comes back as Gandalf the White he becomes all business and takes control of events. I guess the movies didnt get this point across as much as it was needed.
It's like playing an game at max level just roaming the open world dicking around when the only thing left to do is finish the final boss.
It's even worse with the movies now, given Gandalf literally fights a semi-corporeal Sauron and the 9 in the Hobbit movies yet needs to go research shit in Fellowship to 'confirm' Sauron may be back.
hobbit movie's moronic
Galadriel has a ring. Elrond too I think?
no really, why not??
>give ring to the dwarf
>all elves immediately explode
>and they call it a “mine”!
What do they eat in Moria. What are their tax policies
They didn't need taxes because all their wealth came from mining. That's literally why they delved too greedily and too deep and woke the balrog, because they were mining to afford their lavish dwarf lord lifestyle.
But what was the Balrogs tax policy?
so israeli in nature that it allowed thousands of goblins to move in
>Morgoth is the ultimate israelite
No wonder he rebelled against God.
He taxed the dwarves with their lives.
One dead wizard per passage
NO MORE DEAD MAIAR
Fellowship is so great and TT & RotK are so bad.
Give Gandie a break he had smoked too much pipeweed and forgot what happened down there

How was Sauron's return any mystery if Gondor has been having skirmishes with orcs for years by that point? Like, who do they think commands the orcs? The 9? Yeah, but they can only manifest if Sauron is also present, so it's fricking moronic anyway.
You guys do know that LOTR is for women and gays, right?
Liking LOTR should be a bannable offense on Cinemaphile
>women like something so now i have to stop liking it because...
>i can't get laid
IIRC the council know Sauron is still about but they are trying to work out whether he’s an actual THREAT… they aren’t going to organise armies etc until they know he’s back for real (ie corporeal form)
