come

I came.

@@s.bakyhnh1756 In my house?

So is Jimmy Fallon lol

barbaro267 okay, its safe to say Franco is a bit smarter than Jimmy Fallon

Nah son you gon learn today

it's the silmarillion equivalent of saying name two hobbits

He would have been better off asking Stephen to name EVERY Valar. I mean, we all know Stephen would still get it, but at least TRY to test the man.

I was expecting Franco to pull an Exact Words on Colbert. He did, after all, specifically say to name JUST TWO. I thought he was going to say Colbert failed due to naming more than two.

He’s just like, “two?!”

Apparently Colbert had a cameo in one of The Hobbit films and on one of the days during filming, the films' LOTR lore expert and consultant challenged Colbert to a Tolkien-off and lost to him. Insane.

MeanMisterWalrus haha yeah he was one of the lake town folk

After what he did to the Hobbit? No, thanks

it should be a series. like Game of Thrones but with a lot less boobs because Catholic Tolkien.

goes without saying!

ya, get some real obscure shit like, what was the name of the dwarf who carved the doors of durin an why did he? or name the capital of nevrast.

Well, the name of the Dwarf was Navi, as far as I can remember, but what is "Nevrast"?

barbaro267 that look Stephen gave him "what do ya think you're doing kid?"

"The Beleriand Dark Elf, Eöl, wore a suit of black armour. What metal was this armor forged from?" That would've been a pretty decent question.

If you're going to engage in pedantry, this is the place to do it amigo. "Name one petty dwarf"

lol is that what true blooded LOTR fans are called, Ringers?

Jenson true Tolkien fans don't go by anything because they aren't retarded

Sidd Joshi With a simple question as well? Too damn easy son.

evanplanas, yep it's adorable.

Broadwaygirl01 why would anyone try? 😮

sathya skywalker, silly rabbit. That's not possible.

sathya skywalker, yeah you were wrong. You actually *can't* convince anyone otherwise.

sathya skywalker yeah, you just think about what you did.... Or rather didn't do.

sathya skywalker 😂😂

It is said in the Silmarillion that his father is Fingon. But in some other notes he says that his father is Orodreth. It is unknown which one was the actual intention of Tolkien, but the Silmarillion is generally considered more canon. In both cases his mother is an unnamed elleth. ( I SWEAR I didn't just look that up! Your right though that's a tough one!)

Annagrace Anderson Actually Silmarillion is not considered more canon...quite the opposite. Even Christopher Tolkien who put Silmarillion together admitted that he made so many mistakes there that if he could he would never publish it in first place. Which is why he then started publishing the 'History of ME'...all 12 volumes of it, unedited and complemented only with his and his father's comments.

Oh really I didn't know that!! I will have to read them then. I guess the silmarillion is just more well known

Annagrace Anderson It's a heavy read...basically HoME is a collection of JRR's writings, almost in their original form with minimal editing and so on. It's basically everything that is in Silmarillion or Unfinished Tales and then some more. Various versions of various stories, etc. with JRR's son Christopher comments. For example on the issue of Gil-Galad's parentage Chris Tolkien himself wrote that the version he decided to push into Silmarillion was "an ephemeral idea" his father had and abandoned many years before. He then proceed to edit all the stories which touched that issue and edited them according to it and put it into Silmarillion. However, the last version of Gil-Galad's parentage was that he was the son of Orodreth, who was son of Angrod, who was son of Finarfin.

My question to him would be this: "The dark elf, Eöl, of Nan Elmoth wore a set of jet black armor. What metal was this armor made from?"

Mind elaborating??

Alpha Bet Closeted homosexual, cocaine snorter kind of Yale?

@@germanulrich I have to return some video tapes

I.... Okay.

+Mncdk He's not wrong.

Stealth

They don't NEED shoes.

Their feet are like super thick from simply walking everywhere, either through the smooth country roads, or the grassy fields. You don't hear Frodo and Sam going "ow ow ow" every step they take through Mordor.

Happy. Its one of the most awesome universes, right up there with Warhammer 40K

Colbert got it wrong. Galadriel came because she wanted to rule weaker people and have her own lands and kingdom.

rayleigh8 and that's wrong.

rayleigh8 lol edited

Proud.

Unit Jax Technically Correct. The best kind of correct.

Not enough. He missed the following quote: "No oaths she [Galadriel] swore but the words of Feanor concerning Middle-Earth had kindled in her heart for she yearned to see the wide unguarded lands and to rule there a realm at her own will"

What you just said didn't answer why Galadriel went to Middle Earth. Stephen's answer was more accurate. She went in pursuit of Morgoth and the Silmarils. What you are describing is what happened as she was going to Middle Earth, but not why she was going.

Leah Hart actually no

Nay

Max Austin yep. Galadriel had Nenya, Gandalf was given Narya upon arriving in Middle Earth, and Elrond was given Vilya, the strongest of the the three rings, to protect it during the later half of the second and the entirety of the third age.

I can never remember the name, just that it's the ring of adamant. When I first read Fellowship of the Ring I was probably 8 years old and had no idea what adamant was.

Aashish Murali, ugh he probably would.

Well, according to his answer to his own question about Galadriel, and him not even managing to use the single form of "Maiar" and "Valar", I have to disagree. No doubt J.R.R. and Christopher would wipe the floor with me. However, I wouldn't even try arguing with them, and just listen to them as long as they can talk.

Good point. very true :)

Can you imagine having a conversation with Christopher about Middle-earth? He was basically the first fan!
