just think these are 3rd age monsters. weak compared to the monsters in the 1st age. you had dragons bigger than mountains. not to mention legions of balrogs.

It’s hard to imagine even the most powerful Elves being capable of “drowning” Beleriand, including its mountains. This war, after all, occurred over a thousand years before the Elves of Eregion made the Rings of Power so they had no great artifacts that might have enhanced their power

@@am-shak the valar were directly aiding the elves, fighting against Melkor and his forces. it was them that unleashed the powers that sank Beleriand

@@richardnowell7089 nowhere is the cause of the sinking of Bereriland given, ever.

@@Hundredyacrewoods Belariand destroyed FA 587 War of Wrath FA 545-587 The world had changed greatly, for the fury of both sides in the war had wreaked havoc on much of the land. The northern areas were torn asunder, rivers formed or destroyed, mountains and hills changed.[2] The wreckage of the war was immense; most of the land west of the Ered Luin sank beneath the waves, and Beleriand was destroyed. The sea broke through the Ered Luin and formed the Gulf of Lhûn.[4] its a direct result

@Hundredyacrewoods fd in the a 🥵😆

Nah Sauron takes it easily. He killed Finrod Felagund, ravaged the early kingdoms of men, demolished Mordor, and then when he got caught, he manipulated his way into a leadership position and got fucking NUMENOR sunk. And that's before we even talk about the Ring

@@thekillers1stfan Fealgund and a werewolf both slew each other in Sauron's dungeon. I don't know if I'd give that kill to Sauron. The werewolf deserves some credit. FYI, Finrod Fealgund was Good's MVP, fucking strangling a werewolf with bare hands as a captive. That's when Elven heroes were fucking hardcore.

@@brendandrislane4560 Nah, Good's mvp has to be Luthien. She straight up got Huan to abandon his owner with a little sob story, cleansed Sauron's base of operations (making Sauron himself tuck tail and run), waltzed into Angband, put Morgoth himself to sleep, robbed his ass, and got away with it.

@@brendandrislane4560 Eh the Dwarf king made Glaurang run for fear of his life during the battle of unnumbered tears, the dwarves then routed the dragon and his children off the field of battle before picking their dead king up into a funeral procession and just walking off the battlefield with no force of Morgoth willing to challenge them again. Give the dwarves some credit, they where the best weapon and armor smiths bar none in the first age, and could withstand dragon and balrog fire where humans and elves died to it. This message is approved by the Sons of Durin gang.

What exactly is old man willow? Just a rogue huorn? I forget if in the books it's ever stated. Also, another thing to add to your list could be the nameless things. However, there'd be no picture to accompany it. In fact, that's probably for the best.. pictures could give them power..

@@jackalope_hunter he’s a great willow tree in the forests outside of the shire (don’t remember name)

I don’t think he has actually read the books. He seems to take most of this “knowledge” from the movies, I haven’t read anything of wereworms in the books.

@@langskeppet9887 In the books wereworms are most likely a legend in hobbit folklore, only briefly mentioned by Bilbo in the first chapter of the hobbit. It is generally regarded among Tolkien scholars that the are not actually real, but they might possibly be some of the nameless things like the Watcher in the water and Ungoliant

@@rafexrafexowski4754 yes, I never actually noticed that in the books.

It was not the first, but it was the greatest wolf ever.

The first one was actually Draugluin, his ancestor, the one Huan slays before Sauron leaves Tol-in-Gaurhoth in a werewolf's body and the one that Luthien later turns Beren into to disguise him.

Yes I was going to say that

He circles Rhovanion but places and describes Beorn accurately, saying he is west of mirkwood and east of the eagles

Spiders trolls goblins dragons etc not exactly unique.

Exactly the same as ever fantasy story ever... no less impressive just not unique.

@@authoritariangentleman7570 Only that Lord of the Rings is one of the very first modern fantasies created. It introduced the concept of Elves as tall, beautiful humanoids. Before they were only known in old English folklore as tiny forest fey beings, with wings etc. Every fantasy story written afterwards has embraced a lot of Tolkien's concept, so today it feels generic. But in fact it's the original.

@@marekmaly2337 Tolkien didn't have a single original being. He took them from other things. This is the definition of unoriginal

@@xengen212 says who? how many books did u write lol....

It's actually mentioned in Tolkien's linguistic writings that the elves had a word for a sea-serpent, so it's possible that they are canon

I want to hear more about Sam

Even in the book there were literally trolls that turn to the stone they were made of if the sunlight touches them.

@@user-yw1nl6sk7y And? I didn't say that the trolls were metaphorical. I can't remember if it was how Tolkien explained the stone giants in a letter or something, but it's not my own interpretation.

I feel like they would be extinct by then if not damn near. After the setting of LOTR the bad guys were going to be human cults. It is a safe assumption we would be our own worst enemy after.

@Emiel De Wit neither are the Gundabad Ogres, sea worms and 35 foot Catapult Trolls they were not Tolkien inventions

Ent too, its just friendly protector of the forest.

It only situated on Angband's south after It's aftermath with Morgoth.

That is where she resided when Morgoth found her. It is strongly alluded that she came from the chaos as a true daemon before the creation of Arda

@@jonrivers7779 Indeed, I adore thy conceiving of Ungoliant being the own unquenchable void/darkness coming from Melkor's gargantuan heartburning in the first Music of the Ainur. However, I referred thy location because it suits more with the video's premise of fact based, not on this kind of statement. Basically, by Avathar, Aman, being a concrete location.

He has been thrown to the void. Which is like another dimension

@@mindq4328 I think he meant his fortresses location while he was still in Arda

@@davidkosiba624 that would be Angband, which is already mentioned.

​@@witdajuice6763 I think he means Utumno, but that fortress is lost. It is speculated that it lay in the Icebay of Forochel or under Angmar.

😂

Because most of them were made/twisted by Morgoth and are therefore imbued with his evil and are loyal to him and his cause

@@datzfatz2368 yeah that makes sense, but why don’t the good have any creatures

@@Do27gg i dunno^^ we have the Ents and Eagles as you mentioned, the Beornings too and maybe HUan the Hound if you want to count him but thats about it. You would have to ask Tolkien about that thats just what he seemed to want^^

@@datzfatz2368 I’ll phone him now

@@Do27gg lemme know what he says im also curious^^

Took me like 5 seconds of googling...

he name them like a ''mountain troll''

Rings of power are shitstorm

He mentioned that as the "watcher in the water"

We call it Khazad-dum.

Its because its in rings of power and so they have assumed (understandably) Jeff bezos made it up. However, the compendiums from Tolkien and his son do mention a breed of troll called a snow troll, albeit obliquely. The tale of Helm Hammerhand refers to him stalking the enemy in frozen waste and them thinking he was a Snow Troll he was so fierce

thanks Eru for it btw

Jeesus...

sea serpent arte canon, they are mentionned in the unfinished tales

No shit Sherlock

U said in ur video that it was tf
