If you are the director will you film this all accurate? Not like Peter Jackson

[@ladyalaina42]

Trouble is Tolkien killed off most of my favorite Elves. THINGOL is not one of them though.

[@angryirishman7474]

Didn't Beleriand fall into the sea at the end of the War of Wrath because of the destruction wrought by the power of the Valar and Mairar?

Morgoth almost being devoured by Ungoliant always reminds me of when some fool gets eaten by his pet alligator or something.

[@GayestWinston]

The pet is terrifying though when the fool is basically the god of darkness xD

[@deerecoyote2040]

[@BJETNT]

Bad thing about bad guys they're never loyal. It always cracks me up how these idiots think their crocodile is playing with them when they're getting ready to eat them. One of the best things about nature is it's not stupid only we are and nature helps get rid of those people sometimes.

[@merkel2750]

@@BJETNT nature can be stupid. The animal that bites the hand can get itself killed, kinda stupid especially when that hand is the hand that feeds.🤦‍♂️

[@damasek219]

That doesn't really happen. Most people get killed by untrained dogs.

[@fightingfalcon777]

Given the sheer scope of the Wars of Beleriand and the larger magnitude of things going on in that time, like Ancalagon, the greater number of Balrogs, etc., I could see an anime format actually working really well for these conflicts, particularly for Fingolfin’s duel with Morgoth

[@celtictemplar]

I would have to say that I'd love to see the Wars of Beleriand in an animated form, just like that of the animated The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and even the Return of the King. Those Films were so great, and in such you get the same thing like the look of the Orcs, the battles and even more. And the fact that it feels more to the book.

[@oliveremmettknox7776]

Nay, I rather to see The Silmarillion as a live action TV show with CGI and special effects by Amazon Prime, Netflix or HBO Max.

It could only be done in an animated tv series, Its too huge of a story to compact it in a movie or live series tv

Please Leave the holy Silmarillion alone! No adaptations for the First Age

[@andrewmchugh9545]

The whole first age needs to be adapted onto the big screen for sure! I think we are on a wait and see approach with the new Amazon series showcasing The Second Age. If it is good and is a success I think we will get some studio getting the rights to The First Age material. I personally would love to see it play out in movies with each major event being one film like The Oath of Feanor, Beren and Luthien, The Children of Hurin, The Fall of Gondolin etc. This obviously would lead to several films but I think that would be great and keep us all salivating for the next upcoming film chapter. A series would be good too but I think you would miss a lot of material with that outlet and would take too many seasons where general audiences may lose interest. The big screen it is for me!

[@jakobzeppelin588]

There are many people requesting this to be put on the big screen. Even tho Lotr was a success, Peter Jackson couldn’t adapt everything from the books. The first age is so complex and massive in everything that happens, that I think is to be imagined in our fantasy. The series would be so Long, so expensive to make, it would take more than 10+ Years to be made with quality. I love the Silmarillion, because it feels like a time long gone. Legends and Tales of an different age of the world and only the eldest know about to tell the story. The ONLY way to adapt this, would be in my view a animated series with an unique Style of drawing to it. Not like the hobbit or like clone wars, but a more artistic and vague kind of way. Just to show how ancient and mystical the story is.

[@alanboulter7319]

THIS is the speech that matters of such import should command. The Silmarils were jewels wrought by Feanor, mightiest of all the Elves. In imperishable crystal he captured the mingled Light of the Two Trees of Valinor before Morgoth and Ungoliant slew them. Morgoth stole the jewels and fled to Middle Earth and the Noldorian Elves led by their princes followed purposing to wrest the jewels from Morgoth by force. In their hopeless war the Elves were eventually succored by the Vala when Earendil, with a Silmaril bound to his brow, was finally able to sail to Valinor carrying their plea for aid. Earendil was not allowed to return to Middle Earth but was set to sail the skies with the Silmaril forever.

So, if the Noldor elves never returned to Middle Earth bounded to Feanor's Oath to reclaim the Silmarils and Mandos' doom, would Morgoth have an easy victory defeating the Sindar elves, Silvian elves, the dwarves and the race of men and would have successfully conquered Beleriand?
