What Happened During the Fall of Eregion? (Death of Celebrimbor)

[@orrointhewise87]

“The time of the elves is over.” Probably the most industrious region of the elves. Makes me think what else they would have made had it not been destroyed. Would have loved to have seen the charge of the dwarves coming to their aid. An army of beards and shouts would have been amazing

[@marionbaggins]

Man Celebrimbor's death is heartbreaking to remember again... Thanks Mellon for this Tense moment in Arda after I get back from my Holiday, Until Hopes for War of the Rohirrim...Marion Baggins Out!!! I better soon start rereading where I can for this Movie!!!

[@Peak_Aussieman]

War of the Rohirrim will suck. it's woke trash designed to retcon the lore and amuse "superfans" like you.

[@markstott6689]

Great timing on my part. It's time for Sunday evening chilling with Yoystan. The washing can wait until tomorrow morning. 😊❤❤❤😊

[@rc59191]

Eregion was always my favorite level in The Third Age RPG game on the Playstation 2. Love that haunted forest feel to the place and ruins of a long lost kingdom with scattered Elven outposts.

[@TetsuShima]

Celebrimbror's death in the the"Shadow of Mordor/War" flashbacks was disturbing AF. Sauron, instead of using his magic powers, literally smashed the elf's head with a hammer like a sociopath serial killer. Imagine dying in that way...

[@javiervillarreal5269]

Not fun

[@Comicnut64]

Awesome video Celebrimbor’s last Stand always epic

[@geviesanta3631]

Nice, I got out of the church service live stream just in time for this

[@loganw1232]

0:40 recent adaptations haven’t done the second age justice at all.

[@Khajiitt]

Thanks for another great video.

[@Jcallahan-p2p]

I like that Celeborn sticks to his guns, and keeps hating dwarves. No discovery or redemption arc

[@deanostanley8530]

Thanks for the video, this story was already brilliant the way it was.

[@Arkaeus04]

Shadow of Mordor showing Celibrimbor last stand in his throne room is what I pictured how it happened

[@rcbmmines4579]

Same, but maybe minus the part after with him stealing the One Ring and raising an army of orcs to confront Sauron as he's corrupted by it before ultimately losing.

[@istari0]

The Elves would never recover from the War of the Elves and Sauron; just before it began marked the high point of Elven power and culture in the 2nd Age.

[@kitamibu]

My favorite time on Sunday, Men of the West video time!

[@hatimmurtaza7732]

Good work man!

[@speckbretzelfan]

The Elves were tricked once more as another wig had been crafted!

[@scottmccrea1873]

In its way, Tolkien's work is a metaphor for the Fall of Western Civilization that he saw die on the Somme (when 20,000 British soldiers were killed in 20 minutes). Kingdoms and nations never seem to fade away in Tolkien's universe. They always end catastrophically: either quickly (Gondolin) or lingering (Arnor and the successor realms). But they all fall.

[@thomasalvarez6456]

Tom Shippley referred to him as having traumatic experience and putting it into lotr. Hard not to see that with all the wars in Middle earth, Dagorland, the battle of unnumbered tears, battle of sudden flame, wights. Lots of death and ruin in lotr. Osgiliath, Minas Ithil, Númenor ETC

[@jeffreygao3956]

A lot of homes burned, children and puppies got massacred, and Sauron found nothing there but hey, that’s my interpretation.

[@lynneglendenning947]

Narya went to Cirdan after the War of the Last Alliance. He returned it to me, Arwen, when I came to Middle Earth in 3652.😂

[@LightingbladeShen]

No no no Yoisten, Galadridumbass went to war inside Eregion and took the Nine from an alive Celebrimbor and ran away, only to run back and try to bang- I mean ugly bumb- no wrong again..I mean fight and slay, yeah there we go, The Dark Lord after he cried because he's not Sauron he's just misunderstood and then she falls like Wile E coyote from a cliff and walks it off with a limp! this is obvious sarcasm, this is a very interesting and amazing video and I apprechiate Yoisten's hard work! May the Valar Protect you, Men of the West!

[@pinkace]

Really cool swordfight though.

[@LightingbladeShen]

@pinkace if by cool you mean boring and pointless

[@pinkace]

@@LightingbladeShen your bias is showing. The fight was objectively well choreographed. You just wanna hate LOL.

[@LightingbladeShen]

@@pinkace And your bias is showing to you. My humble opinion says that fight was...lets be nice...not great. Not in the least bit that idiotic crown used as a weapon. But you can like it Just as I can call it the biggest dogshit i've seen in a while

[@upschutt4842]

Wait, you're telling me it was not by randomly hitting rocks that damed the river? ROP did lie? Thank you for your work :) God bless you.

[@jamesbodnarchuk3322]

I’m at the green dragon having a beer

[@abhijitpawar1568]

Here is an interesting thought. What if the elves did destroy the other rings of power?

[@pinkace]

Doesn't sound that different from the show actually. So the show did pretty well overall, especially considering the source material was edited multiple times and compiled from scraps of paper.

[@ApocalypseRick]

Hey Yoystan, off topic but have you ever covered the fact that the Balrogs never come back, being Maiar would make them immortal, do they attempt to go to the Halls of Mandos and are rejected? Is being turned into Balrogs something that changes them so much that they are bound to that form and once killed are unable to come back like Sauron did?

[@licmir3663]

That’s a good question. They were possibly fated to remain as malicious shadows like Sauron, unable to take form nor to be accepted with the Valar.

[@ApocalypseRick]

@@licmir3663 that's kinda what I was thinking, Sauron lost a great deal of his power with the ring, is becoming a Balrog something akin to that, pouring the power into the form so much that when they "die" they are to weakened to take a physical form again

[@68mlk]

I liked the RoP adaptation of these events and thought the scenes with Annatar and Celebrimbor were excellent. Also glad to see this video uses some stills from the series.

[@Peak_Aussieman]

Lol! You must be like some bot or something.

[@68mlk]

@@Peak_Aussieman I must be!

[@tarzan8575]

"Didn't do it justice exactly!? I'll say it again, you are much more forgiving of Rings of Power than I am. They freakin BUTCHERED it is what they did.

[@Peak_Aussieman]

He's a paid shill. They pay him and he gets flown out to all their gross super fan conventions. It's odious and flatulent seeing what the Tolkien licence has devolved into with this gross nerd.

[@saladinbob]

That still from PJ's movie, is that meant to be what's left of Eregion in the third age?

[@Filippirgos]

So the Rings of Power show was actually right ? I read Silmarillion quite a time ago, forgot what happened during First and Second Age in details...

[@thomasalvarez6456]

What? No lol

[@TetsuShima]

*Fun fact:* There's an illustration made by Alan Lee that shows Sauron forging the One Ring wearing only a loincloth. Peter Jackson robbed us an amazing scene 😂😂😂

[@himerosTheGod]

Rumor has it Celebrimbror dies on top of Galadriel in the upcoming season three premiere of R.O.P.

[@cmoneill]

What would Sauron do with the elven rings if he got ahold of them

[@Curtis-Joseph]

What a beautiful place Eregion was before Sauron covertly brought his insane malice to the ethereal land.

[@dfringsofpower]

🔥🔥👁️🔥🔥

[@IstariAzul777]

Tho RoP is best never acknowledged or spoken of.. The celebrimbor casting was probably the worst casting choice ever made on human history and possibly before. Galadriel is a very close second

[@Filippirgos]

I find it a good show, if one can see it as not part of Tolkien's work

[@IstariAzul777]

@ it’s not but I am glad you like it. For me the silmarillion almost feels like a sacred text and I truly loath the identity stuff so forced in past decade Ruined favorite characters like Galadriel and celebrimbor. I watched first season n tried to watch second but only made it to seeing an orc family and I was just done

Remember in the Rings of Power when Galadriel randomly tells someone, by the way I've a husband. Then proceeds to never mentions it again 😂

[@sblade777]

But we saw what happened already??? The Orcs smashed the mountain and cut off the water and walked across the river to seige the city...

[@kaidorade1317]

What happened? He fell obviously! And you call yourself a Tolkien fan! Jk

[@ChinceMcMahon316]

ROP promised the greatest battle scene of all time for the attack on Eregion. Instead we got one of the dumbest battle scenes of all time - "let's knock down a mountain with our trebuchets to block the river and walk across the suddenly perfectly dry riverbed to attack the city! yay! and hey, just where did those fifteen or twenty thousand Elven horsemen disappear to anyway?". I swear, every person involved with writing, directing, or producing that show should be put in prison for what they've done to Tolkien.

[@TheRealCaptainLavender]

Stop watching that garbage.

[@ChinceMcMahon316]

@@TheRealCaptainLavender I watched season one - shame on them I watched season two (in the vain hope it might have gotten better after all the excoriating criticism of season one) - shame on me Never again!

[@pinkace]

Obsessing over the dryness of a riverbed seems stupid. Many shows and movies get that wrong.

[@glendady8879]

RoP is a PoS. At best it is a poorly written fan-fiction. Stop pretending it has anything to do with LotR or the Silmarilion.

[@pinkace]

@@glendady8879 well the show doesn't have the rights to anything in the Silmarillion since the JRRT trust would not license them the rights, so yes, they ARE making it up, they don't have a choice. We could be watching the Beren & Luthien story which is practically written for the screen already, but no, they won't license it.

[@rafaelgustavo7786]

[@JonnyHighTyde]

If Eregion falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

"Some very very bad men, and they where bad, attacked the brave elves" - D Trump

[@kitamibu]

😂

[@Mortgageman145]

*The crowd roars and applauds as High-President Gil-gaTrump makes his way on stage with his "Make Arda Great Again" (MAGA) banners dangling down* "Wow! Welcome beautiful elves of Lindon, look how many people have come to see me! They all love me!" *applause intensifies before dying down* "As you should know by now, well at least I know but I don't know about anyone else, but some very very bad men, and they were very bad, attacked the brave elves, the brave elves of Eregion. Now I have a tremendous respect for Celebrimbor, he is a very respectable man. Now, I know the elves of Eregion, nobody knows the elves of Eregion better than me, the work they do is tremendous, they do tremendous work but I knew that Celebrimbor would make a mistake, I told him that he was making a mistake but he didn't listen to me, he didn't listen to my tremendous wisdom when I told him the build the wall to keep out all the orcs; and I know these orcs no one knows these orcs better than me and trust me when I say we needed to build the wall to keep out the very very bad men who were very bad... And now look what's happened!" *Crowd cheers* Now nobody panic because I have a plan will fix this, the plan is so simple and so obvious you don't need to be a genius to figure it out even though am I genius. There is this man that I'm sure you all know and love his name is Elrond Musk and he is great guy, he is a great guy, he has a lot of money and he's doing a tremendous job at the border, the border control is tremendous under me. Well I mean things are good between Elrond and me, he said his father was a star and his mother was a bird and I said wow, this could be the beginning of a tremendous relationship, I have a great relationship with him now I mean things started weird with the remarks about his father being a star I mean he was abducted and raised by Celebrimbors' uncles and I had to rescue him did you know that? And now he's out there saving Celebrimbor... what did I tell you a great guy. Speaking about great relationships have you heard of Sauron? Well he's a great guy and we get along because he's a tremendous guy I know he's doing a lot of bad right now no one knows bad better than I do but I mean we have a tremendous relationship still I mean, I could go up to him and tell him to stop and he will do it. And did you know our relationship started with him destroying my fathers fortress and forcing my family to flee, in fact I never saw my father or sister after that, he also proceeded to feed my great uncle to his dogs, but I know Sauron better than anyone and we were able to work things out I think he was just having a bad day but I mean we all have bad days except for me but anyway, we were able to work things out and now we have a great relationship, I mean I make a lot of money working with China no one makes more money than me and I mean Sauron tried to manipulate me after becoming the so-called "Annatar Lord of Gifts" but it is thanks to me we were safe, that was all me, I deported him on day one, I saved people because I can make a lot of money working with foreign countries, like Sauron is a good man, he is a great man but sometimes he has bad days just all of you do sometimes but because we have a such a tremendous relationship we can work things out. And I mean I can do it again, I mean Elrond Musk is doing a tremendous job already but it was my idea so I should get the credit and only I can make Arda great again!" *crowd erupts into applause as High-President Gil-gaTrump walks off stage holding his fists high* Sorry, had to write a whole speech for it

[@outspokenguy3834]

The POS show ROP f'ed up that too.
