J.J. Abrams has no authority to change the story. He didn't write it or talk to the author. Duh!

amazing art

I don't believe, as an angel, Gandalf, a true servant of the gods, would be terrified of the Witch King. I think his deep concern for the welfare of others above himself in terms of safety from the corrupting powers of the Nazgul is sometimes mistaken for his fear towards the Witch King. Plus, Gandalf is way more powerful than the Witch King, but he doesn't show it because he is humble and unassuming, while the Witch King would appear so much more powerful than he really is because, as a servant of evil, he is overbearing, prideful, and a show-off.

The Silver Light will one day return.

ai ai oh oh

I'm sick to death of these AI rewrites. Still, it's better storytelling than Rings of Power.

You improved a lot, the storytelling, those picture selection & even the way you covered every small details

Am I hearing Dark Souls?

I believe the Nameless Things were blinked into existence through Morgoth's interference with Illuvatar's theme, during the initial forming of Middle-Earth.

Like the artwork

ROCK AND STONE

I always thought that the Sun and moon made the trees very interesting

Fear me

Morgoth isn't scared bruh

But if they're so evil - why wait? XD why would they wait to be encountered by surface life forms?

This doesn't explain anything, and I know the title doesn't say it would, but it would be nice, and anyways, the problem is that it's just the same thing repeated over and over and over and over and over and over again. With the only difference every time being the images, and the different word choices. Goofy ahh AI generated text too. And, of course, you can forget that it has that beautiful AI voice.

The wizard’s mission was to advise the people of middle earth not rule so if saruman hadn’t turned i doubt he would’ve started commanding armies as it wasn’t what he was supposed to be doing

All the nameless things are born of the void, the void being the darkness that existed before “god” said let there be light. Before middle earth was created, etc. Before the “song of creation” They pose a bigger threat because in the end all creation ends, and returns to nothingness. They are a different evil that gnaws and consumes creation itself. Its tolkeins omage to outerversal existential horror. A nod to the horror genre most likely

of course the presence of lovecraft's horrors have to exist even in lord of the rings.

This feels like a badly generated AI script! There are Nameless Things in the deep places of the world, of Middle-Earth, not just in Moria, as this video keeps repeating... And more importantly, how can you have a video about the Nameless Things, focus on Moria and not even mention The Watcher in the Water??? who is arguably more of a Nameless Thing (considering it's origin is unknown) then the Balrog of Morgoth?!?!

⁠ Yet you referring to the concept of two gods one is good and one is evil and that contradicts what Tolkein referring to. Tolkein creed’s is Christianty an Abrahamic religion who is rooted into only one God nothing is equal nor alike himself neither existed before him he created everything perhaps these nameless things were created by Eru before or may even in the same time like the Valar but unmentioned by Tolkein.

I rarely give something a "thumb's down". This earned one rather impressively. "TOILKIN" sealed the deal (4:27). Sheesh....

A waste of time, couldn't stick it even to halfway

Why doesn't this rubbish video not have more downvotes? So many inaccuracies and outright wrong in it.

Did the Elves wage war on Sauron so the could wear their rings again?

Maybe they came upon Satan and his Legions 🙃

It one's remind a bit off lovecraft, right! Those creatures in the abyss! Greetings from Austria 🙂

So... they were once Democrats? lol.

These ai voiceovers ruin names... mehh

Nah there's too much opinion and imagination then actual fact here

Why, in so many illustrations of Saruman here, does he have Mr. Spock ears?

This is just an AI readout. The pronunciation is all over the place, no human would refer to Frodosses journey at 16:38, and Middle Earth's story being dramatically cunged at 18:04. Put some effort in.

Ancient, Nameless and Gnawing... is not the same as "powerful" in the sense that we understand it - and that may actually be the case... they are so alien that their intersection with other creatures is so obtuse that their motivations are misinterpreted... e.g., if you come near then insanity or death occurs but this may not be "power" merely presence - just the same as if you flew too close to Jupiter and were caught in its gravity well - this does not make the Powerful Jupiter evil... merely deadly and not understood... (or so they have told me to report).

I think the biggest question is what would've happened without Gandalf the white

Have to wonder what Gollum would say about the Nameless Things of Moria since he lived there for centuries.

Bs,it's pretty obvious that no one with this channel has ever read the books. At least attempt to put some effort into research, guys. This wouldn't even be a fight. There's a world of difference in the powers of these 2.

Correction: it wasn't the Valar that decided Gandalf's fate to return as Gandalf the White, it was Eru Iluvatar himself. The Valar initially sent Gandalf, as the Grey, but that was the extent of their intervention. The rest falls directly on Eru Iluvatar as evidenced by the massive power shift between Gandalf the Grey and the White. Eru Iluvatar allowed Gandalf to use more of his power than he was ever allowed as the Grey and even gave him additional powers in order to overcome the forces of Sauron and be able to accomplish his mission. As far as the power dynamic between Gandalf and the Witch King, both as the Grey and the White, Gandalf always had the upper hand in the regard. After all the Witch King was a mere mortal, not a Maia. However being an Istari Gandalf didn't have access to all of his Maia power. As the Grey he only had a fraction of it, and while as the White he had all of it and than some, his mission didn't change. That mission, of the Istari, was to be an advisor and guide, not a warrior. Moreover his mandate was to use as little of his power as was necessary and only use it when absolutely necessary. Thus Gandalf could have easily defeated the Witch King but that would have meant failing in his mission, in the same way that Saruman failed it, being a fellow Istari. Therefore Gandalf chose the side of caution and giving the Witch King the respect he deserved, not necessarily because Gandalf couldn't handle the Witch King but rather because he was always a role model for others: the free peoples. Even the mightiest of them(like say Elrond, Cirdan or Aragorn) are nowhere near Gandalf's power level(even as the Grey) thus if Gandalf himself feared the Witch King than all the free peoples will too. If Gandalf was to be cocky and brash than maybe the likes of Elrond and Aragorn wouldn't have given the Witch King the respect he deserved and acted arrogantly against him, which could very well have led to their own downfall and with that all but guaranteed Sauron's victory. Gandalf the White had significantly more power of course, to the point where he absolutely could rival Sauron, which was never true for Gandalf the Grey nor for Olorin for that matter as Sauron was the strongest of all the Maia until Eru Iluvatar's intervention. However again if Gandalf slew the Witch King, which he absolutely could as he was no man but a Maia, as you correctly said, than again he would have failed his mission, becoming the warrior or leader, just as Sauron became, rather than remain the advisor and guide to enable others to defeat Sauron and remain free from all divine(Valar and Maiar) influences, which was the whole reason the Istari came to be in the first place.

Eh... you can't have it both ways. If the world was created without evil then no evil should be in it. If you make a being that desires power and control then you made evil.

so that sh*t had a powerful healing ring yet he could not do jacked sh*t about frodo's sword would xdddd

Do you guys actually pay attention to your scripts and the subject matter? You're showing an old elf man with pointy ears as "Theoden" who is a human man. Mispronounced words like Eru Iluvatar. it's not E.R.U. Iluvatar. Wtf PAY ATTENTION, don't be lazy like every f one else. Repeating shht, ughhh over it

WOW,that’s a looooong a** sword!!! 😬

Shit ai lore channel

Yes, Gandalf the White could defeat the Witch King, but he chose not to destroy the man but left his fate to die from Eowyn and Merry fulfilling the prophecy and most importantly crushing the pride which the Witch King held for his sacrifice turning to evil. To be crushed by a Maiar akin to Sauron was not a disgrace but to fall to a woman and a hobbit was humbling and disgrace. All his prideful history crushed.

Created by E R U Illuvatar? Who voiced this?

This channel is actually a totally crap. Someone without any knowledge about Tolkien, using AI to produce videos, sitting aside to gain only the profit from the ads. Just a shame for the channel's owner.

Cmon, man. You can't honestly make a 15 min video about something Tolkien devoted a total of 2 sentences to. There's nothing else to say about the Nameless Things.

They are created not born as everyone of them is some kind of elf first. Then they become orcs after torture. Honestly middle earth would be better without elves. XD

7:16 isn't that Gandalf's quote and not Gimli's?

AI generated trash ☹️

Er Murazor son of King Ciryatan of the house of Elros, Elronds brother. He had Maiar blood and high elven blood.
