101 (Every) Beast, Monster, And The Creatures From Tolkien Universe (Lord Of The Rings) - Explored

[@docblade3270]

Great video, must have took a lot of work! You should do the same for star wars creatures!

[@ozymandiasultor9480]

Star Wars creatures? Sure, there are some interesting ideas, like that...thing in the first trilogy, one big funneling mouth in the middle of some desert, and a few other interesting creatures, but it is not comparable with Tolkien or even the first dozen or so high fantasy worlds.

[@brownsound545]

[@ozymandiasultor9480]

@@brownsound545 That makes no difference. Alice in Wonderland was written for children but is with 100 times more quality than Star Wars, the simplistic story about knights and princesses, but put "in a galaxy far, far away". You honestly compare Tolkien with star wars bs.? Star Wars films, the fir 3 were acceptable, the rest is garbage, and all those spin-off series, that is waste of time. You like those things? OK, there are people who like such things. But don't write messages to me and stop selling fog, I am not interested in films and series that are garbage.

The names of the chapters are unholy. Whoever put that together is a legend.

[@Doomseer]

I feel like the reason the Rohirrim were unable to tame Shadowfax was because he wished to be treated as an actual equal or even better as a friend instead of merely dominated. That's why Gandalf succeeded where others failed.

[@kimberlywalker_]

Also, Gandalf understands some animal speech. I'm sure Shadowfax had some valid complaints with the other riders and Gandalf was the first to actually listen! I'm sure having an Ishtari boss gets you awesome Medical/Dental and the Penthouse stall in the barn. 🤣 Win win situation.

[@Doomseer]

@@kimberlywalker_ Well that's the thing I don't think it was a boss to employee relationship but a true friendship between them considering the fact Shadowfax actually understands human speech and furthermore the king of the horses so he's no doubt too prideful to have a boss over him regardless of the stellar benefits LOLXD!!..

All these great, informative videos! Awesome content!

[@Eye_Exist]

cool fact: in finnish translation Shelob is translated as "Lukitari" which is an incredibly awesome name to be. it's actually similar construction of word than Shelob - an artistic rendition of two words "Lukki", a common water spider, and "tar" which is the feminine ending to a royal title. but let me just say it's the coolest translation in the history of writing ever because how good it sounds.

You don't need to use transitions effects for the same image over and over lol just leaving it be on the screen is fine

[@herrdoctor2895]

Funny, Durin's Bane actually ran from something, Gandalf said that the only hope he can gets from under there is by following his enemy because the tunnels that were under Khazad Dum was not by the Dwarves. It is not made my the Balrog but instead by Nameless Things

[@ryanmcwilliams8784]

This is one of my favorite bits of Tolkien. Like how terrible the nameless things must be to scare the balrog. Another great part is how Tulkas gave Melkor the hands and sent that baby bitch packing

[@alyosha_karamazov]

The looped transitions are like a photo screensaver with only one image in the gallery. Kind of hard to watch after the same picture zooms into focus five times

[@peterplotts1238]

Ungoliant, now there's one that gave me the creeps. Her whole story oozes terror. Whenever I revisit her story, I have a can of insecticide ready. I was disappointed that the movie, The Hobbit, did not depict Smaug's comic and playful aspect as the book did. He was funny, and that made him a vastly more interesting character. Can't forget the Watcher in the Water either. Tolkien doesn't neglect the powerful effect upon the reader's mind by evoking horrid smells.

[@wittyithink9109]

My only real problem: Sam didn't just outright kill Shelob. When Sam and Frodo left, she was still alive "bubbling in her misery" as the book says. The book implies that she survived, but states that whether she did or not "this tale does not tell." Again, tho, it goes into detail of how she might have survived, and is generally assumed that she did.

[@kimberlywalker_]

Interesting. I always assumed she died. The description sounds like she has wounds that are bubbling with blood and phlegm and plasma, like sucking chest wounds almost. Multiple ones, at that! Sounded to me like she's gone for sure without some medical care, STAT.

[@kharnthebetrayer7033]

She died by starvation, she could no longer hunt

[@gavhenrad]

She was in my shed last year

[@kimberlywalker_]

@@gavhenrad Noice. Did you hear weird evil whispering when you opened the shed door. I'm just imagining you go to a grab a wrench and it's instant Mordor cob webby vibes.

[@Davidofthelost]

She’s left blinded by the wound Sam inflicted to her eye and the light of Arendil destroying the others. Rendering her unable to eat and to endure a long slow death until she was forced to eat herself like her mother had. That was the ending I remember hearing for Shelob but I couldn’t remember from where.

[@tomcross3000]

i love that many of the beasts here are more like demonic peers of morgoth rather than servants of him. it shows imo how chaotic and unstable the dark lord's hold on middle earth was. to my mind he had only a fragile unity with the dragon lords, spider, giant wolves, giant water monsters and worms, etc. the only thing commonly uniting them being power and the promise of it. bolg in the films was not as strategic, was more impulsive, felt less pain than his dad. example, in d.o.s, bolg lost thorin's company in mirkwood and almost got killed by legolas, who was able to alert his father and bring his army down while azog cornered, beat and almost killed thorin and his company with his wargs if not for gandalf's cheat code, and destroyed thorin's father and grandfather. on the other hand azog with his use of a morningstar on an ice sheet against thorin in botfa wasn't particularly well thought out.

[@krisspkriss]

Morgoth poured his essence into the world ion the same way that Suaran poured his into the Ring of Power. Morgoth was lessened to almost peer level for the most powerful of these. But all the same, they were in many ways his unruly children and extended family. Of course his own nature that was in them also made them just as rebellious and untamable. At least until the end of time and the big finale.

[@ogg8680]

Love the video, but I feel like animating the SAME image on screen over and over is unnecessary. Just leave it up once it's up instead of flashing/spinning/blurring/zooming it back on screen while you talk. Ex. the same picture or Glaurung is put on screen in like 5 ways back to back and then you do it again with the next one. Like I said, love the video, just visually annoying imo.

[@joykilla9563]

Awesome video! Thanks for all the hard work!

[@ilokivi]

Tolkien makes very clear in The Return of The King that Shelob was wounded by Samwise with Sting but not mortally so. The claim at 22:35 that he killed her is not consistent with the text. It should be borne in mind at 1:09:40 regarding Gollum/Sméagol that Cirith Ungol (where Shelob's lair is located) is approximately 100km west of Orodruin where the Sammath Naur opens.

[@thelionwatches828]

[@carysage]

Can't remember if it's in the foreward or the appendices, but Tolkien himself said Orcs and Goblins are the same thing. It's not a misconception, it's what the author said. If I remember right, Goblin is a dwarf word and Orc is an elf word, but they describe the same creature.

[@nicholasmatthew9687]

I like to believe winged dragons are more dangerous in LOTR. They seemingly were in smaller numbers and less organized, so perhaps they didn’t actually have as many occasions where they dished out destruction like their non winged counterparts from earlier times who were part of dark military forces. I think generally though that the winged dragons are supposed to be a more effective improvement than their ancestors. They might be smaller, but they are still equipped with the same level of protection, intelligence, and evil. They are far more mobile and strategically advantaged, which in our world tends to prove more dangerous than something larger with a heavier payload. All the old dragons were killed because they couldn’t get their asses off the ground. Imagine for a second two military tanks in our world. Imagine one is larger than the other, but the second one has fighter jet capabilities. In most scenarios it’s the flying fuckers I’d be more worried about.

[@waxore1142]

In The movie orcs were said to be descendant from banished elves.

[@c.rutherford]

Yes the Silmarillion explains this, they were elves captured by Melkor in the early days and tortured and twisted until they I guess morphed into monsters. Or I guess in Peter Jackson's case, grody rubber skinned punk rockers lol. He elaborated that they 'secretly loathe their master whom they serve out of hatred and fear" or somesuch. Whatever Morgoth did appears to be genetic, I guess it was so thorough it goes right through to the offspring. This implies that they are also immortal unless actually killed, which would explain why they can be wiped out in such huge numbers and keep rebounding back as their natural death rate would be zero. I have not seen any elderly Orcs depicted anywhere either. It doesn't explain why there wouldn't be like 100 billion billion elves in the Undying Lands, as elves sometimes have as many as 7 sons (Feanor), good lord, with zero mortality and endless ages of births how could overpopulation not be a problem. Not to mention boat-loads of Elf immigrants coming from Middle Earth. Just the thoughts of an amateur observer/reader, no expert here.....
