The Fall of Gondolin 3: Last Great City of Middle-Earth (The Silmarillion AI film)

[@aquairis]

As someone who’s been a fan of the Tolkien series for many years, watching your video felt like a dream come true. It’s like hope and anticipation have been reignited. Keep up the amazing work-it’s incredible, and I absolutely love it! I’ll be eagerly looking forward to more of your creations.

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

Thanks a lot for you words!

Excellent work. I’m not normally the biggest fan of AI films, but this is the best Legendarium stuff I’ve seen since Jackson. Also, pls include The Notion Club Papers in your to-do list. I’d love to see more of that.

[@fred20097]

@@One-Ring-To-Rule-Them-All like with rings of p - I'd always wondered what an orc slave pit looked like. In series 1, I got to see one, and it was done very well too. I especially appreciated how important trees are to elves, yet the orcs wanted them to cut this beautiful old tree down. Now THAT'S Tolkien, through and through.

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

hail!

[@JoeDirte157]

Glorfindel has and always will be my favorite Elf. Courage, bravery, martial prowess, sacrifice. My dude was epic..

[@rio20d]

This is such a joy to watch Cottage, you did it again, thank you to show the final part of the Gondolin story, the portrayal of the Lord of the House of Golden Flowers - Glorfindel, did not dissappoint, man it is beyond what I could've imagine, this amazing. Would love to see what you will do next, the War of the Wrath will be much longer to film, where we could see Eärendil went to Valinor to plea for the Host of Valar to help the Elves and Men to attack Morgoth's Fortress of Angband once and for all. well done man

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks so much for your words and support! I'll leave the story of Eärendil and the War of Wrath for later. I'm currently working on Ainulindalë Part 2, and I was thinking about maybe doing Morgoth, Ungoliant, and the Trees next.

[@rio20d]

@@TheCottageofLostPlay yes yes please that would be great way to start also to give some backstory to non tolkiens book readers just to get some more context of how all these started, I know some of your viewers are not Tolkien book readers , or maybe normies who just came here after watching Amazon RoP crap lol

[@pinoysilentrider3621]

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks a lot! working on morgoth and trees!

[@carlweinberger7917]

Well done! Personally think you can rely on the narration even more. It really works and adds to the Tolkien feel of a mythological tale being passed on. Plus points for having Tuor and Idril travel west and making Tuor visibly older at the time. Cannot wait for the next video.

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

[@scarlettwoman7880]

@@TheCottageofLostPlay I have read a lot about these events from the greater works of Tolkien’s son Christopher. Seeing your AI designs bring these tales to life has been incredible to watch and has made me awfully eager for an actual show or movie. A big thank you for your efforts!

[@AmericanImperium2112]

I love it, makes me want to go and read the stories themselves. I might just do that. Keep up the great work. 👍🏻

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks a lot for your support!

[@jamesturbert1780]

I've read it 7 times. Beware though, the book can be a difficult read. Characters are born and die on the same page since the events of the Silmarillion take place over 40,000 years. Even the first 2 or 3 chapters are difficult as you try to work out who Eru (God) is as well as the Valar (Great Angels) and Maiar (Lesser Angels) and how the world was built through music. I found it the first time round to read the first 6 chapters and then re-start the book as the beginning then made sense as to who the Angels and first elves were. But it is one hell of a book - literally the Bible.

[@carlweinberger7917]

Maybe start with the recently completed stories, like The Children of Hurin or The Fall of Gondolin. Personally love The Silmarillion, but like the previous poster wrote, it isn't always the easiest of reads.

[@AmericanImperium2112]

@@carlweinberger7917 & Jamesturbert1780 Thanks, I’ll reread Children of Hurin and I’ll read the other two, because I already read The Silmarillion whilst listening to an audio of it with pictures and everything. It was quite helpful and I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks 👍

This is truly great. Respect. But one question always comes to mind when watching tales like this: How does a man/Elf being below 2 meters tall fight and defeat a flaming muscular creature 5 meters tall armed with a whip?

[@rio20d]

its a fantasy story but if you read the book thats how it was described by Tolkien, elves and men did fight a much bigger foe, just like in other story an elf fingolfin challenged Dark Lord Morgoth in a single combat duel ( Cottage actually made a video about it too), there was a reference in the Silmarillion where captured elves were standing about the knees of Morgoth, The Elves of 1st age like the Noldor is very tall, Fingolfin is around 7.4ft tall so if elves around knee height of Morgoth that means he is a giant around 30 ft tall. I know its hard understand if you try to bring reality into it because it's not.
