Gandalf the White, who, unlike his grey former self was more powerful than Saruman, broke Saruman’s staff and kicked him out of the order of wizards. From that point on the only magic Saruman was capable of was using his voice, which could cast a spell over people, although it was much weaker. By the time Saruman arrived in the Shire, a mortal weapon could kill him.
I read this wonderful article series written by a historian. He makes the case that Saruman suffered from a bad case of STEM superiority complex (he was a Maia of Aule in the beginning) which made him into a really bad military leader whose plans were too convoluted and without contingencies, so that he would've been screwed even if he had won Rohan.
>STEM superiority complex
Sounds like some made up bullshit by a pseudo-intellectual. Don't bother bringing up supposed complexes without a background in psychology and some form of peer reviewed study
It's not a diagnosis, it's more of a mindset where a person thinks his expertise in one field applies to other fields as well. We see this quite often with our expert class.
>the original evil ruler used to be good but went through a goth phase and turned more grim dark with giant gothic structures built all over Middle Earth >More-Goth

He wasn't capable of any magic anymore, he was just super charismatic still without the ability to actually enchant people by talking.
Gandalf literally says that the only magic Saruman is capable of is using his voice.
He's still super persuasive though, like Hitler. Could be magic.
>Sauron's man
Only one of them saw him cumming 😉
So fricking gay dude
>Come, Gandalf, come to my tower of Orc-tank. Everything will be fine, my friend.
>Orc-tank?
for me...i always thought his name sounded do much like a frickin Digimon.
What would said digimon look like? And his moves?
Hitler was persuasive maybe because he said something that resonated with people. Gimme an IPA
I never said Hitler wasn't persuasive. Possibly one of the most persuasive guys in history. His speeches were legendary.
>Sauron's trans
I identify as Sauron's man.
>lads who look upon her become real glad
>Gladladreal
C'mon now
Glad lad bloy job how about that
>Frodo Baggins
>Is a fraud that carries a lot of baggage
He was just mocking us
How's he a fraud?
Hired as a thief with 0 experience.
I wouldn't hire a person with a criminal record though... that'd be heckin' stupid tbh.
He almost doomed the world at the last second and was only saved because of a bigger moron came in
>friend is wise
>Samwise

Tolkien was a hack. Ghost army? what the frick was that shit?
It was a ghost army
Tolkien was a genius. Ghost army is exactly the kind of dumb deus ex machina that is constantly pulled in ancient mythology
>character is merry
>he's called Merry
>character is an ent
>Treebeard
I'm surprised Tolkien came up with an original name for once, with all these other names being such ridiculous jokes.

Naruhodo Tolkien san...

Tolkien... easy on the pipe weed.
