ok, but not Gandalf
Gandalf was an iteration of a being of Maiar, which existed from the beginning of time, right? I mean, even if you go by the whole >I'm something new each time I accomplish something enormous
he was still around and simply hadn't asserted himself as such yet as opposed to someone like Bombadil who never yet always asserted himself because he was from so long ago and in such a primordial form that practically nothing (likely including himself) could change him if they ever tried.
Also, WTF. All posts ending in 51. Gandalf the sparkler is posting on Cinemaphile now, isn't he?
Ring of Power "Galadriel" isn't Galadriel.
Ring of Power "Elrond" isn't Elrond.
Ring of Power "Celebrimbor" isn't Celebrimbor.
Ring of Power "Tar-Miriel" isn't Tar-Miriel.
Ring of Power "Harfoots" aren't Hobbits.
And that isn't Gandalf.

It's tricky. Gandalf is an immortal being sent by God, but Dumbledore has way more and way better magic. Dumbledore wins unless all of his magic just fails against Gandalf's spell resistance.
We don't know yet. He might some form of proto-Istari. Apparently he barely talks, doesn't know who he is and can barely control his powers. Might be Olórin, which might be the reason for his fondness for Hobbits later as Gandalf. Hard to say what his role will be, since the Hobbit storyline will be fairly disconnected from the main story. Maybe he'll just help the Hobbits to migrate West? Get rid of the black Hobbits on the way?
No he's fricking not. It's one of the "is this Sauron" bait characters, along with the shipwreck guy, the child, and the albino woman. The whole point of the first season will be figuring out who and where is Sauron.
Keep in mind, he has to come back, build his armies in Mordor, start waging war against the kingdoms of Elves and Men, and then get wrecked by Numenor and captured.
Plus some "leaker" mentioned that maybe they'll use one of Tolkien's notes, in that after the fall of Melkor Sauron DID try to redeem himself, but the corruption of his master was so strong he couldn't escape his influence.
Yeah, I know. That's why I despise the /misc/tards here. Out of all the show's potential problems, the entire "time compression" idea is the biggest one.
>Frodo did I ever tell you about the second age? It was a different time Frodo. See, back in those days, we had elves, dwarves and even hobbits in all kinds of different colours. Black, yellow, white. But then we noticed something. It turns out that, despite being only 13 percent of the population of Middle Earth, the black hobbits, elves and dwarves committed 52 percent of the crimes. It was a terrible conundrum, and we just didn't know what to do anymore. And then one day, while the Maiar were in council, Gandalf came up with a solution. A final solution if you will. It had to be done Frodo, the suffering of the few would result in a paradise for future generations. Look at the trees around you Frodo, remember the beauty of the shire. All would have perished if we had not taken swift action. Now go to sleep little hobbit, and do not linger on these thoughts for too long.
gandalf will be a black woman because he is le shapeshifter
It's not
There are no Wizards in the Second Age

Look like a blue wizard to you ya fricking pinhead?
They're going to make the blue wizards black and homosexual, aren't they?

Gandalf the Sneed
This series will never have timeless memes that survive to this day. Nor will Disney SW.
Gandalf the Grey Hobo
Who wins?
Gandalf, this isn't up for debate
I'm not impressed by Gandalf's showing vs the Witch-King.
that was jackson's invention
Yeah for some reason he changed the "your staff is broken!" scene to be about Gandalf instead of Saruman.
I like that scene, even though it didnt happen.

LMAO A SCENE THAT TOLKIEN NEVER WROTE
BUT HEY!BLACK PEOPLE IN 1900s FANTASY CAPESHIT IS THE PROBLEM,RIGHT?
FRICK THIS BOARD
>one scene Tolkien never wrote vs an entire show Tolkien never wrote.
gandalf is supposed to be this demi-god but all he does is shine some light from his staff and call eagles for help
Neither. They aren't in competition with each other.
It's tricky. Gandalf is an immortal being sent by God, but Dumbledore has way more and way better magic. Dumbledore wins unless all of his magic just fails against Gandalf's spell resistance.
gandalf is a divine being though while dumbledore is just a man
Inconclusive. Both are sourced to different settings/fictional physics (magic).

What
Sheev Palpatine wins.
>Sheev Palpatine wins.
Sneed Palpatine.
What's up with that filename?
t. Düsseldorfer
2 homosexuals in the picture so the name fits perfectly
The Istari abides, dude.
actually, that's your dad
Is he the meteor man? makes sense

No, not dark and homosexual enough.
Let me guess, he's a raging homosexual for Saruman but since he turns evil, Gandalf must cast his love away or some bullshit.
It's Sauronman
No he's fricking not. It's one of the "is this Sauron" bait characters, along with the shipwreck guy, the child, and the albino woman. The whole point of the first season will be figuring out who and where is Sauron.

Isildur is alive so he only has like 80 years to do that lol

good morning sir

Actually, not different colors. Certainly no yellow.
Just a few prominent blacks for woke marketing purposes.
>no lie detected
Leaked image from the scene where Gandalf puts his final solution into action
So, second age ended with some sort of Turner i mean Erlond's Diaries style?
Damn, THAT'S a half billion dollar tv show!!
Why Gandolf is Big J now.
Fan fiction is so fricking gay.
He looks like how I would envision the damphair from Chubby Gut Martins novels to look like...
