>My Lord, Sauron, we have information that your One ring may be in a far away village known as The Shire. >Good, good. Send out my nine undead kings to retrieve it. Give them a good disguise so that they blend in and don't draw attention. Once they find the one who carries the ring, nothing will stand in their way. Certainly not a singular man with a torch nor Elf woman on a horse!
shes not there in book. its elrond and gliffandorf or whatever the frick mary sue elf was named. women dont do shit in lotr and the elf one less than most.
in the scene which was being described. iirc glorfindel uses his elven presence, aragon and the other hobbits are given torches, and they all run at the nazgul together which forces them into the river. frodo was already across but is also inspired and raises a sword, but their approach and his ring bearing causes a bit of faltering, but I think he musters a swing of they get swept away before he collapses

how many pages does this take up in the book?

Not very many, all of the action scenes in the books are way way shorter than how much screen time they get in the movies. Even helms deep is over in like 10 pages or something. It’s pretty crazy if you saw the movies first

If its not for you then it's not for you, but the books offer so much more than action thrills

if you are interested in a bit more proportion of action with a shorter overall length, you may enjoy eric brighteyes. tolkien appreciated it

I think they are just scared of glorfindel because he died after killing a balrog, then was reincarnated by the gods, thats why they ran
Why didn't Sauron just take all of the wealth he could find and start loaning it out to the realms of men with interest so they could start their own businesses, increase their consumption, etc. thus binding them to Mordor in an economic sense? Anyone who didn't pay, he could send the Nazgul after to collect. Meanwhile he could then begin buying up property in the various locations and renting them to the various people in Gondor, Rohan, etc. With his advanced industrialization, he could build new real estate as needed, increase the efficiency of farmland, build actual roads connecting the various cities, and so on. He could continue to loan money, collect the interest payments, and grow his wealth perhaps even starting a banking system where all of the people could store their wealth with him allowing him to pay them interest on their deposits, while continuing to loan out money. Eventually Sauron could issue his own coinage and ruthlessly go to war with any group that resisted this while allying and enriching anyone who chose to go along with his One Monetary System. Soon, he could even begin encouraging the people to rise up and overthrow their monarchs to implement democracies and Sauron could then finance his own puppet candidates to take over the various kingdoms. He wouldn't even need a magic ring. There were better wars for Sauron to conquer Middle Earth.
id describe it as a mostly typical blockbuster like the mummy or original spiderman. there's an aesthetic difference with the jj inspired marvel movies
Can you imagine the comical scene of these undead wraiths all trudging out of the water miles downstream, all yelling at each other and casting blame whose fault it is that they just lost the ring, and who is going to tell Sauron the bad news? And now with their horses all dead, they begin the slow soggy walk home back to Mordor to go pick up their flying Felbeasts
I tried to listen to the audio books but the first 4 chapters were 10 hours
the opening chapters in the shire are actually quite funny imo, more than even the movies portrayal. im surprised you seem to not have cared for them, though maybe the experience is qualitatively different if its being read at you
I think they are just scared of glorfindel because he died after killing a balrog, then was reincarnated by the gods, thats why they ran
im no tolkien scholar and would have to reread the passage to even respond properly. maybe the first meeting with him is coloring my emeory of his reappearance. thanks for the information
tbh the chapter doesn't describe how glorfindel is nearly on the level of gandalf or the maiar, but glorfindel does imply that he could defeat 3 of them at once, but not 9. The rest comes from the silmarillion.
They were men once
But they’ll never be women either…
Nice action figure
Is it?
Look at the skin of the horse.
it's a doll
Sauron's problems.
They seek the ring as you seek vagene
bros, I don't feel so good about the next 3261 to 4461 years...
Just wait til 5000, that'll be the year
Incel rage
Their boss was a firey chud
They got BTFO by women twice
They're pretty much comic relief

glorfindel finds them by chance and elrond makes the river flood, gandalf adds a spell that makes the water look like rushing horses
and they all chase them into the water with torches and the power of friendship, unironically

Look Sauron might be evil but he's not israelite tier evil
Sauron was a godly being once and he retains some of his nobility
Calm down with the anti-semitism, this isn't/pol/
i laughed
imagine they retconned this into Bilbo becoming a wraith between The Hobbit and Fellowship
Biblo is the wraith who stabs Frodo
Imagine a cute little wraith roaming about.
lotr was always capeshit

iirc glorfindel is one of the higher level old elf dudes which basically makes him a demigod.
A good one would be.
As it is we would just get dude weed and sex joke.
