BUT THE POWER OF THE RING COULD NOT BE UNDONE

>makes cock gauntlet
>puts ring on the outside

Come the fuck on.

He should have made the anal beads of power, you can't cut those off.

This was all part of his plan. What else is he gonna do for all eternity if he defeats everyone?
He just likes to stir shit up every thousand years and have fun.

All good points, user. It's easy to forget that Lord of the Rings is kind of an in-universe narrative, and that the details outside of the War of the Ring are especially hazy.

What if Isildur bends him over and rips them out like as if he were starting a lawn mower?

Because it's a film by Peter Jackson and not the book by Tolkien. Besides, Sauron was bested not because they cut off his ring, but because he got beat up by the greatest chads of the Second Age; chads of the like that would never be seen in Middle-Earth ever again.

Pretty neat I guess.

Gandalf's true power is to ignite hope in the hearts of Men.

Doesn't Gandalf shoot fire in the books, or at least the hobbit book?

The ring also turns you immortal to aging and gives you access to the shadow realm.

So can Aragorn and Theoden

Not in the way he does it.

>He raised his staff. There was a roll of thunder. The sunlight was blotted out from the eastern

>could be seen, standing white and tall before the blackened hearth.
>In the gloom they heard the hiss of Wormtongue’s voice: ‘Did I not counsel you, lord, to forbid
>his staff? That fool, Háma, has betrayed us!’ There was a flash as if lightning had cloven the
>roof. Then all was silent. Wormtongue sprawled on his face.

>‘Now Théoden son of Thengel, will you hearken to me?’ said Gandalf. ‘Do you ask for help?’
>He lifted his staff and pointed to a high window. There the darkness seemed to clear, and through
>the opening could be seen, high and far, a patch of shining sky. ‘Not all is dark. Take courage, Lord of the Mark;
>for better help you will not find. No counsel have I to give to those that despair. Yet counsel I could give, and
>words I could speak to you. Will you hear them? They are not for all ears. I bid you come out before your

>Slowly Théoden left his chair. A faint light grew in the hall again. The woman hastened to the king’s side, taking
>his arm, and with faltering steps the old man came down from the dais and paced softly through the hall.
>Wormtongue remained lying on the floor. They came to the doors and Gandalf knocked.
>‘Open!’ he cried. ‘The Lord of the Mark comes forth!’
>The doors rolled back and a keen air came whistling in. A wind was blowing on the hill.

Tax evasion

>mm should I smash this fool with my giant mace?
>nah lol I will just reach for him slowly and menacingly

Sauron was a huge fan of James Bond movies, who knew that would be his downfall.

I think he just lit pinecones on fire and everyone threw them.

it was an anglo-saxon idea of weregild for his dead father and brother

>>DELETED scene from the film only
>Not recognised
I guess saruman survived the trilogy then

wait a fucking moment, are you telling me than a maiar even with the one ring could be defeated by an elve?
wtf

Some mighty wizard.

This is true, and between Gandalfs search-fu in Minas Tirith and running all over the damn place, he was clearly the MVP, even if his Uber staff was really just a flashlight

The idea of the weregild wasn't just anglo-saxon, but was a fundamental aspect of the germanic legal system. The lack of a centralised authority made the legal focus on reconciliation, rather than punishment, incredibly important, as society might otherwise fall to ever-escalating blood feuds.

Saruman is killed by Grima in the book, it just happens far later.

Lord of the Rings isn't some power-wank anime with a tier system. Anyone's mortal shell can be destroyed. Morgoth was permanently marred by Fingolfin, Sauron was defeated by a group of great warrior-kings, and Glaurung was killed by Turin Turambar, etc.

Xyp9x?

Guy topped the scoreboard at the end of that fight through Assists alone.

fucking astralis making all the major finals boring

kek

Why didn't he just eat the ring?

Would you turn invisible if the ring attached itself to your lower bowel?

As the ring is on the inside, it would probably turn everything but the owner invisible.

this is why i come here

Why didn't he shove it up the Eagle's ass and see if their anal heat melted it down?

Most seem to have never had amazing fighting skills. Their Power was that they made men fear. To the degree all men were unable to fight.

But Aragorn was brave enough so fuck them.

that's all very logical if you don't put the valars sinking continents

To be fair though, The Ring never was deliberately destroyed, in the movies it just happened to fall into the volcano and in the books, Eru himself, litteraly god, had to intervene for The Ring to actualy fall into the lava.

So in that context, Sauron was right to not worry about anyone actualy destroying The Ring as no person in Middle Earth could do it.

Magic is rarely instantaneous in Lord of the Rings. Beleriand sunk into the sea as the product of a long, drawn-out conflict between Morgoth and the other Valar. It takes Eru intefering for things like the destruction of Numenor.

Even then; you'd be better treating that as in-universe myth. Middle-Earth is meant to be a mythological setting, with its lore only being half-remembered even by the learned men.

He casts thundaga in FotR (book)

He has a lightning battle or something with the nazgul at weathertop before Frodo and the gang get there in Fellowship

Sauron was born a demigod.
And chose to like a edge lord for kicks.

Why do people think he's smart or forward thinking? He didn't earn anything. He's like a retard let loose in a kindergarten class, trips over a kid, and knocks himself out for a couple days, then comes back.

i meant in the book, i think this scene and the goblin escape was different there

Gandalf is pretty verbose

>and Glaurung was killed by Turin Turambar,
Now there's someone who needed some good luck for once in his life

Tolkien was a hack

Saurons bad tax policies shrunk mordors budget too much.
Fire proof armor was simply not affordable at that point.

based cock ring poster

It has a will of its own. It'd probably grow in his trachea and choke him to death or something.

Aragorn is descended from Numenorean royalty so he's super badass

Did you forget the part where Saruman invents gunpowder and shoots a giant fireball at Gandalf? Or the part where he literally summons lightning to strike a mountain and cause an avalanche?

>all Gandalf can do is slam his staff into a bridge
And fight a big fire demon thing while falling for miles and miles, survive the fall then come back more powerful. And the light from his staff drove off the wyverns in the movie too.

The best of men, elves and dwarves were basically demi-gods.

Just look at Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, who are all realtive noobs, but the best of their respective species.

IIRC, it was made a deal of that people were losing their strength as time went on.

Never understood why other people didn’t get the same power
All it did was make Frodo invisible. I’m a world of magic, that’s not exactly an OP thing you’d expect from a coveted ring of ultimate power

Gollum didn’t even get much power (unless being a recovering heroin addict counts)

Did we even know anything about his personality? He’s like a monolithic stereotype of evil that orcs just followed out of fear?

Wouldn’t the orcs immediately follow the next guy with the ring out of fear too? Or was there something more to it that the movies never addressed?

he meant he's going to get his fucking gems back bitch

Read the books

It's said to basically give an improvement of the individuals personality and desires.

Frodo, being a timid Hobbit, became super sneaky with it.

Gollum, became an ageless heroin addict.

If Aragorn wore it, he'd become an invincible charismatic god-king.

Gollum was hobbit and also became invisible.

Nazgul are not great and powerful fighters, their biggest strength is the fear they instill. You take that away and they are nothing but nine dudes who happen to be ghosts.

I wonder what he looked like without his outfit and helmet. Did he have a workout routine?

>the power of the ring is just to turn invisible

I get that it's pretty great, but how does that make you control an entire world?

just about anyone that wears it for too long would be corrupted

Why are Suaron and Melkor such faggots

Why was this movie so fucking retarded

why would he want to dig through his own poop every night?

IIRC in Fellowship the party is being chased by Wargs before they reach Moria, and at one point they're trapped on a hill and Gabdalf sets fire to the forest around the hill in order to get the Wargs to back off.

Even if that's true they could have easily overwhelmed him just with numbers instead of REEEEE'ing around.

I don't think hobbits become invisible because the Ring enhances their natural abilities. They become invisible because they are not powerful enough to wield the ring, thus it sucks them into the spirit realm.

Motherfucker you're saying it as if Turin Turambar wasn't the biggest badass the elves have ever produced. He's only rivalled by Fingolfin "Hey Morgoth you're a pussy".

>implying you wouldn't bitch out if some guy was waving fire in your face

Sauron in that scene was just a ripoff of Morgoth. Sauron in the books lost to Elendil and Gil-Galad, then Isildur cut the ring off of his dead body.

They were much weaker at the time and also Aragorn was badass and immune to their morale-nerfing AOE effect.

>I wonder what he looked like without his outfit and helmet
Like the ultimate twink.

>implying he's still looking like Annatar

What? Numenor was a relatively small island as opposed to the subcontinent that was Beleriand.

I always thought it was only a symbolic representation of his defeat.

In my heart he does.

Sauron would've given him diarrhea

That’d only work for your tiny needle dick

nahh Aragorn would be invisible too, that's the power it gave isildur, its pretty lame but that's what's written

its not gay, its just male bonding, okay?

Maybe if he was Boromir, but he's Aragorn, a descendent of Numenor, and isn't afraid of them at a time when fear is really all they have going for them.

>In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl. A great black shape against the fires beyond he loomed up, grown to a vast menace of despair. In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl, under the archway that no enemy ever yet had passed, and all fled before his face.
>All save one. There waiting, silent and still in the space before the Gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadowfax: Shadowfax who alone among the free horses of the earth endured the terror, unmoving, steadfast as a graven image in Rath Dínen.
>‘You cannot enter here,’ said Gandalf, and the huge shadow halted. ‘Go back to the abyss prepared for you! Go back! Fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your Master. Go!’
>The Black Rider flung back his hood, and behold! he had a kingly crown; and yet upon no head visible was it set. The red fires shone between it and the mantled shoulders vast and dark. From a mouth unseen there came a deadly laughter.
>‘Old fool!’ he said. ‘Old fool! This is my hour. Do you not know Death when you see it? Die now and curse in vain!’ And with that he lifted high his sword and flames ran down the blade.

I'm still mad about the movies not including this

>Out of doubt, out of dark to the day’s rising
>I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing.
>To hope’s end I rode and to heart’s breaking:
>Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!

>These staves he spoke, yet he laughed as he said them. For once more lust of battle was on him; and he was still unscathed, and he was young, and he was king: the lord of a fell people. And lo! even as he laughed at despair he looked out again on the black ships, and he lifted up his sword to defy them.
