i was 11 when this came out, and i never realized Gandalf didnt use magic to blind the Uruk-Hai. he literally arrived at dawn. puts that whole statement in a whole new light, a wizard arrives exactly when he intends to.

[@ayfindril]

There's debate on whether he did use magic there or not, he does possess Narya one of the three elven rings of power which influences the element of fire and light, while also being originally the wielder of the Flame of Anor (name of the sun in elvish) as he mentioned in his fight against the Balrog - so I would argue that even though Gandalf did come at the right moment, the light of dawn was also enhanced with his powers to inflict a blind CC debuff on the Uruk-hai

[@gastonlanteri1147]

Yeah, he uses light and fire spells all the time to blind enemies or scare Nazguls and other specters away. Probably he enhanced the sun light too.

[@ЯСмерть-ф5п]

[@dontcare7086]

Gandalf seemed pretty weak imo. When I read the books as a kid I got this impression of a very powerful wizard. In the movies he hardly used magic except when he battled that dragon thing and became Gandalf the White. I enjoyed the movies don't get me wrong but he was the weakest magic user in the movies compared to the elves and his mentor. He was only stronger than the forest wizard.

[@mertzie31]

King David, in the bible, used the same tactic. He would attack at dawn with the sun at his back, blinding the enemy. Galdalf isn't using magic, just simple battle tactics

[@mistermonologue2442]

No. Not Aragorn. Theoden had given up and was looking to suicide charge for a glorious death sake but Aragorn knew Gandalf was coming and kept reminding Theoden to fight and to fight for Rohans survival. That's the look of massive relief.

For years and years I always thought Gandalf was using a spell to blind the Uruk-Hai when they get blinded as they charge into them. I now realise it’s from the sunlight coming over the hill, which leads back to Gandalf telling Frodo “A wizard is neither late nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means too.” Amazing detail.

[@TheNerdForAllSeasons]

A little more for you - if you remember the scene with the Balrog, when Gandalf says he is "wielder of the flame of Anor", "Anor" is the Elvish word for the Sun.

[@HisRoyalMajestyKingofWeedshire]

“He arrives precisely when he means to.” Proceeds to arrive after pretty much everyone is dead.

[@moss830]

I'll give you guys one even better.. When Gandalf was ridding out with Pippen he told Aragorn "Look to my coming at first light on the 5th day. At dawn, look to the east". The scene right before Aragorn tells Theoden to ride out, is when he realized what Gandalf said and knew hope was on the way! So it was actually Theoden who believed he was ridding to his death once again. Aragorn always had a lucky, elvish way out of a jam, while Theoden, being just as or maybe even more fearless, met his challenges in a very human way. Man, LOTR has so many layers to it, its crazy.

And most Undead from GoT are just corpses, and they looks kinda like skeletons. Dothraki could destroy their bodies only with a strength of a running horse, maybe they would not kill them but only eliminate from the succesful fight, because for example Undead without legs can't run toward the enemy.

When Gandalf was ridding out with Pippen he told Aragorn "Look to my coming at first light on the 5th day. At dawn, look to the east". The scene right before Aragorn tells Theoden to ride out, is when he realized what Gandalf said and knew hope was on the way! So it was actually Theoden who believed he was ridding to his death once again. Aragorn always had a lucky, elvish way out of a jam, while Theoden, being just as or maybe even more fearless, met his challenges in a very human way. Man, LOTR has so many layers to it, its crazy.
