Exactly. To make his mythology and language writing compelling, memorable, and to outlive him.

@Dzsamila # there are infinite number of realities so there is a world with middle earth story

I think that is more common than you think.

@@Slashplite you have an infinite amount of numbers after 1 without ever reaching 2. infinite isn't always infinite.

I love how you show Tolkien created a monotheistic world, and there was a Pantheon. I know a number of Christians who are very upset by this refuse to believe it about Tolkien's writings (of course, they feel the same way about the Bible). It is even more hilarious when non-Christians insist it can't be both (and also about the Bible). As I undterstand it, Ilúvatar personlly intervened to resurrect Gandolf. And this was absolutely the only way anyone could be resurrected in Tolkien's mythology. Gandolf inspires hope? Eh. More like it was Gandolf job to meddle (for good). Perhaps Gandolf the White had a new job description? And I'll risk having a common theme now. Tolkien's change of faith definitely played a role in his mythology. Two examples in paticular are that all 'evil' races could only be perversions of 'good' one or must be adopted. And also that none of the 'evil' races are doomed to serve evil. Also, he made sure that the Uruk-hai showed a number of redeeming qualities including loyalty, selflessness, and thier own brand of honor.

Whoa, same here. I thought this was a 10 minute video

Yeah, people seem to forget that. Also, if a fire breathing dragon could be killed by one man, a flock of eagles would be nothing to Sauron. Plus, the Eagles would have most likely been corrupted and weighed down by the ring the closer they got to Mordor. They probably would have started fighting each other, just like every other creature did.

@@RantingThespian Would they? I mean they're more than just birds; they're spirits that serve the god of the air, or more specifically, Manwë. It also depends on which kind of dragons you mean, they can easily take down fell-beasts (as seen in the battle at the black gate) but I'm not sure if you would consider those dragons or not.

@@ludvig3242 Fellbeasts are not considered dragons, both by J RR Tolkien or Christopher Tolkien. Plus, Smaug was considered the last of the real great dragons. By the end of the third age, the dragons of the Elder Days were over. The lesser ones like Cold Drakes, and other Worms may have survived, but Fellbeasts are not included even in their ranks. They do not have scales, can't talk, had low intelligence,and were more like a bat and featherless bird hybrid. They were raised by Sauron in Mordor just for the Nazgul. Now, as for the ring corrupting the Eagles, keep in mind there is only 1 creature known not to be affected by the ring, Tom Bombadil (and no one knows why). Gandalf wouldn't even touch it because he knew it would corrupt him, and Sarumon was even passively corrupted. It's safe to assume that the Valar were also able to be corrupted. If so, their servants were definitely able to be corrupted. Even Sam was tempted slightly by the ring. Maybe the kindest creature to ever walk Arda was tempted! Lastly, yes the Eagles were servants of Manwe, but like the Valar and Maiar, they were individual creatures and could say no or refuse orders. Gwaihir was reluctant to even take Gandalf in FOTF any further than Rohan. They were even a little annoyed in the Hobbit. Also, a massive volley of arrows, many fellbeasts, trebuchets, and more would hinder the Eagles. They had no protection like Scales or Armor, so a well shot volley of arrows is a massive issue. Yes they were mighty servants of Manwe and were highly intelligent, but their bodies were still flesh and blood, so they could be slain like any other creature in Middle-Earth.

Feels like he did it on accident

The man dedicated most of this life to this mythology and all the books & stories. And when he died, his son Christopher took it on him to edit & release all the unreleased texts including all the letters. He also drew all the maps for his father's books. That's how much time and effort it took.

@@laurahill9643 Thank you for sharing! I'm gonna check it out

Same.

He has the gift of telling complex storys in a way that most people can understand it. Especially Tolkiens universe is complex and full of names and hard to explain, so much that i think Tolkien wouldn´t be able to explain these stories as understandable as Cory does because he has to be really deep in the lore to come up with all that.

Its not nerding out, its simple information, backed up with canon proof and reasoning in relation to real world historic mythology. Its the same way you would explain science based R and D.

@Юлия Карпенко stop.

The Warrior محارب thats nerding out

You should look up Corey Olsen's podcasts. He's probably over 1000 hours of nerding out about Tolkien. One of his ongoing projects is an in depth reading of the LotR. He's on Session 148, and has made it to the middle of The Council of Elrond. Each session is about 2 hours long.

Yavanna is afraid for the trees, which cannot defend themselves against all the children of Illuvatar. She begs Manwe for help and is told that Manwe has granted the Eagles, but that her trees are not high enough for them. In the forests will walk the Shepherds of the Trees instead (the Ents). Yavanna initially celebrates the Eagles' arrival but is put in her place by Manwe.

you're right. She goes to Manwe as Olvar cannot defend themselves

Then Yavanna returned to Aulë; and he was in his smithy, pouring molten metal into a mould. 'Eru is bountiful,' she said. 'Now let thy children beware! For there shall walk a power in the forests whose wrath they will arouse at their peril.' She’s so badass!

@@incanusolorin2607 and Aulë replies: my children will still need firewood and continues working.

I'm imagining a group of orcs with white lab coats and nerd glasses holding clipboards

That was one of the best things he said. In the Two Towers movie, Suramon says it's a era of industrialization.

My thought exactly. I’m guessing he took already existing creatures and cross breaded them to make dragons?

So, what disturbed part of Eru's mind did Ungoliant crawl out of?

@@paulraines9635 Well, it's fairly clear, or at least as clear as the Silmarillion ever gets, that Ungoliant was a part of Arda before the Ainur descended. Ungoliant is very much the personification of primal hunger in the world, so the most likely explanation would be that it was a product of the original song being twisted by Melkor and his splinter choir. Not exactly intended, but still the product of Eru

The most likely thing imo is that Morgoth created the bodies of the dragons and put powerful spirits (ainur) into those bodies. We know that ainur in incarnate form can reproduce.

@Sasuke pizza Kitten almost, but not quite. The barrow wights were kings of ancient times that fell in the wars of the north when the witch king destroyed Arnor and founded Angmar, and it is the witch king who gave their ghosts power. Watch the Geek Zone video on this. He does a really good job.

Here takes this ring, its red.

ur an idiot

If only he'd had a word processor! He wouldn't have had to write everything out long hand over and over, cut up manuscripts to create edited versions, and then type (or hire someone to type) it all out. Maybe then he'd have published The Silmarillion in his lifetime as he envisioned it.

I'd say prachett is a writer more to aspire to be, tolkien has lore burying you up to the neck but prachett has world and people that live and breath far easier and have more accessible depth

let's face it: Melkor is to the middle earth what rock and roll was to the '60s

His music is actually described in Simlarillion much like rock/pop/electronic beats in a middle of a classical concert. He was a DJ! :)

I've always liked to imagine Melkor as the guy who wanted to create his own thing and not just listen to the orders. One interesting thing is that we never actually hear what the orcs, or the men serving Melkor and Sauron think about them. Maybe they were actually supporting diversity in other things as well, and they followed them because they thought they were actually the better choise?

....a didgeridoo.

Bet he was a French supporter... his 2010 introduction to the vuvuzela gave his idea to stop the creation.

"Yeah, you never really think about how much impact the world around them."

Except the Dwarves. They have no lore, no art, no culture, and no history to speak of. They were created, then thousands of years of silence, then Gimli. That's it.

@@Alizudo Except for Nogrod, which traded with the Noldor in Beleriand, and whose dwarves eventually went on to kill Thingol; Zirak Zigil and Telchar, who forged Nauglamír (Thingol's necklace) and Narsil (Isildur's sword, later reforged into Aragorn's Andúril); Belegost, which was also famous for its craftsmanship and whose lord, Azaghâl, wounded Glaurung, the First Dragon, during the War of the Jewels. Also, the tales about the dwarves in the Lonely Mountain and in Khazad-dûm. The thing is that the Dwarves ended up being something of an analogue of the Jews in Middle-Earth; and like the Jews during most of our history, suffered a lot of prejudice and became insular and clannish as a result. The Dwarves did not even like speaking their own language in front of strangers, and took up nicknames for themselves so as not to reveal their true Khuzdul names to the other races. So naturally comparatively little gets recorded about them compared to Men and Elves, but hardly "thousands of years of silence."

@@wtrmute Between the forging of Narsil and the loss of Khazad-dûm, there is nearly 3,000 years of no word. Yee, they do have SOME history, but you could list every single known achievement of the dwarves on a bulleted list. The elves quite literally required Tolkien to write an entire book just to talk about how awesome and perfect they are.

@@Alizudo Not at all; between the forging of Narsil andthe loss of Khazad-dûm, there is the war between Nargrond and Doriath, then its abandonment, the abandonment of Belegost, then indeed very little before the abandonment of Khazad-dûm. I am not sure whether the Lonely Mountain was colonized before or after the fall of Moria, which might make into this period, or not. But anyway we have very little news of the Second Age in general. Of course, I am ready to agree that we have far more written about the Elves than about the Dwarves; the former are the Firstborn of Ilúvatar, while the latter are merely the children of Aulë. It is impossible to compare the two. That being said, "there is no news of them between the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves and Gimli" is quite the hyperbole, and that is all I am objecting to.

Especially for Tolkien's. He was really serious about building his imaginary world. Its history, geography, languages, writing system... just awesome.

I agree completely, but there is a lot of awful fantasy out there which I think is what taints people's perceptions of it.

I think that's exactly what many people find ridiculous, putting that much time and thought into elves, dwarves, orcs etc.

Because of Sturgeon's Law. The inevitable '90% of trash' is misunderstood as being all there is to the form. The sublime highlights become lost in the background noise of imitators, also-rans, and never-weres.

Well, Tolkien isn´t the norm. So much trash in the fantasy genre. A lot of the most popular fantasy series are incredibly bad. Lot of low-effort copypaste out there.

Silmarillon was my favourite book as a kid lol

Oh yeah, I had to power through it for a bit. I learned to read it like a history book instead of a fairytale. I ended up really enjoying it by the time I finished.

I believe the point of that book was for others to read and refer to if they were to make stories within Arda themselves. A Story Masters guide so to speak.

Honestly I'm just trying to wrap my head around Tolkein's stories and how amazing they all are.

I can't say definitively, but the Woodmen on your map may have been some of the people the goblins were planning to attack when met the wargs and almost captured Bilbo, the dwarves, & Gandalf. Beorn may have been related to the these woodmen, though he was a special case being a were-bear. His descendants ruled over a group of men in the area called Beornings.

@@Erik-um1zn There was a line in there about the goblins thinking that there was "a battle with the woodmen" when the wargs had Bilbo and the dwarves treed.

They were descendants of Gondor's attempted colonisation of Rhovanion.

Tolkien implies the Woodmen are just another people of the overall Northmen that live in the northern and central parts of Rhovanion. The One Ring RPG actually elaborated on them as a smaller but pretty important local culture.

It’s really something eh.

There's another one. Orcs being corrupted Elves - it mentioned either as a rumor, or was an early version. In final version of the myths they were corrupted humans, or orc-human hybrids. So Saruman's mixing up of Orcs with humans is the second or third mixing up done

He definitely just misspoke, he obviously meant Pelargir. Suprised it made it through editing.

I think he meant Pelargir, but also he could have said it so people who have only seen the movies would understand a little bit more

That’s not an error. Corrupted elves is the published origins story. Other versions of the story, including orc origins as Maiar are up for debate of course.

@@samhunt7113 It is an error. Silmarillion was published by JRR's son Christopher who later admitted he should've never done that. This is the reason why years later he published almost all of the material in the History of ME in 12-13 volumes.

Tolkien and Lewis were best friends and frequently went on walks brainstorming and discussing their stories, so it makes sense that there are lots off scenes and details that mirror each other. (I love finding the little similarities sprinkled throughout the stories) Also another fun thing I've heard is that the only reason Lewis put the iconic lamp post in his story was because Tolkien told Lewis that a fictional story can't have a lamp post in it. Lewis also based The Professor on Tolkien and Tolkien based Treebeard on Lewis.

Actually, they were created by Eru, after Yavanna complained that the Dwarves would mess up her creations.

Yep, she was worried about her own creations and asked Manwë if the trees could speak for all of the plants and things that grow, and so the Ents were born when the Elves arrived in Arda. In one of my favorite passages in the Silmarillion, she comes up to Aulë and basically goes, ha, now when your dwarves and all the other races cut down my trees they’ll have the wrath of the Ents to deal with! And Aulë answers, “Nonetheless they will have need of wood.” Basically he’s just like, yeah but they’re gonna need wood tho
