This dude is supposed to be a wizard but he never uses any magic whatsoever

Adrian Jenkins
Daniel Robinson
Dude weed lmao
Thomas Bailey
his only power is that blinding light bullshit
William Thomas
his greatest trick was convincing the world that he exists
Nicholas Bailey
In the books he fucks up some wolves with a fireball.
Adam Howard
nigger his one little nudge out of the door had a greater effect on middle earth than all the fireballs in the world
William Torres
He made lightning strike his sword which set it on fire
He whispered some bullshit to some moth that flew off and got Gwaihir
Do your research before you try playing with the big boys, kid
Chase Gutierrez
>magic pipe smoke
>magic fireworks
Jason Davis
Isn't he like not allowed to operate at full force by some wizard rules or something like that?
Joshua Taylor
>play video games
>magic characters forced to have some sort of coherent power level, limits and set of abilities just to be balanced
>watch movies and tv shows
>magic characters act with no rhyme or reason with magic that goes unused beyond convenient plot points
Say what you want about the rest, but this is where vidya wins over books and movies every time.
Noah Hill
His magic is like King from One Punch Man he draws the attention of all enemies and like some magnetic force someone comes to his aid. Except the mines because
David Wright
so true
GAMERS RISE UP
Luke Morgan
He literally uses force push and force light with the staff. Also he can talk to moths.
The water horses Arwen summons is also with the help of Gandalf but the movie doesn’t spell that out
Oliver Torres
JRR nerfed his ass hard
Hunter Carter
Read the books
He is quite happy to lightning bolt and fireball people as he deems necessary.
Grayson Torres
He did, but magic isn't just fireball spamming in tolkien's world. In the first movie both Saruman and Gandalf tried to influence the mountain Caradhras with their words and Saruman eventually succeeded and managed to start an avalanche
Joshua Scott
He was forbidden from matching Sauron power to power because the last time something like that happened the whole north eastern continent disappeared under the sea. He was also forbidden from dominating the free peoples into opposing Sauron, however he was free to lightning bolt foolish Tooks if he wanted to.
Ethan Gonzalez
*Western not eastern.
Gabriel Taylor
Magic in Tolkien's world is subtle, take the Siege of Minas Tirith for instance, the Nazgul were casting fear and he casted bless, freeing the soldiers.
Luis Lopez
His rank in the pantheon is that of Sauron, he is a demi-god. His role as an Istari is to intercede with counsel only. He does cheat with some magic, but only fights traditionally.
Jackson Brooks
Gaming is female
Matthew Cox
Fly you fools
John Lopez
He kills some wolfs with fire magic in the books, locks the door in moria, commands the balrog to stop.
Also he's not supposed to use his powers, he's supposed to guide the people of middle earth to victory.
Andrew Martin
>uhh yeah bro hes like super powerful and can beat anybody but hes forbidden from using his powers
>also hes a god who cant die
This is like some bad world of warcraft rp character writing
What a fucking hack lmao
Julian Hughes
lol dude he didn't use fireball or frostball not even a real wizard LMAO
Lincoln Collins
He literally came back from the dead.
The fuck more do you want?
Brody Ramirez
He serves as a guide and loremaster, in the main narrative of LotR, but that aside, he uses small fire magic all the time, he explicitly uses a magic shield fighting the Balrog and a breaking force spell to drop the bridge, as Gandalf the White he uses light all the time, and let's not forget that during the Hobbit he went off and drove out the Necromancer (Sauron) and you better believe magic was involved there.
Elijah Bell
>fly
They would if they called in the fucking eagles.
Kayden Myers
Was he really sleeping?
Zachary Ross
This, the rules of magic aren’t very clear
James Hughes
He was practicing handless masturbation.
So while he wasn't asleep, he didn't notice Pippin either.
Ryder Wilson
Silmarillion shows that spells often take the form of words and literal 'songs of power' in which tales of lore somehow warp reality. This is because the world was initially shaped by song, building on Tolkien's Catholic interest in the creative words of God and man's sub-creative ability as a being in his image. The point is that Gandalf is effectively doing magic every time he opens his mouth.
Gavin Watson
But that's literally true for all strong lotr characters.
Magic in lotr is not that clearly defined, everything the elves do has some "magic" in it. Even the stupid rings are rather abstract with their power to preserve.
Parker Williams
kys tripfag
Alexander Davis
That's so boring to watch, they shouldn't have cut out that firestorm he summoned to deal with the ghosts wolves before moria.
Adam Clark
No, Tolkien quite literally stole the character of Gandalf from Finnish folk mythology.
>Väinämöinen also demonstrated his magical voice by sinking the impetuous Joukahainen into a bog by singing.
Isaiah Myers
This is why Naruto is better than Harry Potter. The chakra system absolutely shits on JK Rowlings magic system
Isaiah Hughes
Scouring of the Shire when??
I want my subversions subverted on the big screen ffs. Hopefully they at least do it in the upcoming tv series
Jason James
But magic doesn't exist in LOTR, user: only miracles granted by Iluvatar. He's more of a cleric (angel) than a wizard, really
