Would you please consider doing a “What If Sam Kept The One Ring?” video, Matt? I know it likely means a spectrum of ever darkening alternate endings, but I’d love to see where you take it by using the primary text as well as any and all Tolkien letters that reference Sam’s character, his loyalty to Frodo, and his interactions with the One Ring. What would happen if Sam never witnessed Gorbag and crew retrieving Frodo’s paralyzed body, and he truly believed Shelob killed Frodo? How would the last stage of his presumably tragic journey change his fate and the fates of Frodo, Gollum, the Fellowship, the Shire and all of Middle Earth? Would Sam make it through Mordor to the peak of Mount Doom? Where and how would he confront Gollum? Would he sacrifice himself to destroy the Ring if presented with the opportunity, or would he keep it? And perhaps most tragically, how would it change Sam’s heart and spirit? Apologies if you’ve already done something like this and I missed it. Just point me where to find it!

Speaking of Gondor, you should really do a "What if Boromir took the ring?". I would really like to know what Boromir would have done if he had actually succeeded in taking the One Ring from Frodo. Whether he would knock out Frodo or kill him doesn't matter, he would most likely escape just in time to avoid the orc attack. But what would he do? Would he give the ring to Denethor, or would he be tempted by the ring to kill his father Arthas- style and usurp the throne. What would the Fellowship do? Would the orcs still capture Merry and Pippin, and possibly Frodo too this time, or would things be different? Would the rest of the Fellowship go after the hobbits, or would they pursue Boromir to Gondor. What would Gondor do with the Ring? These are some interesting questions. I'd like to know your thoughts.

Learning the history of Denethor's resentment towards Aragorn makes me realize how short-changed the final Steward was in the movie. I think that would be okay in regard to the theatrical cut, but I wish the extended editions of Two Towers and Return of the King had fleshed out that aspect of his past to give his character more dimension.

In the books, upon meeting Denethor Pippin thinks to himself that Denethor looked more like a great Wizard than Gandalf did. Gandalf tells Pippin that regardless the generations between, the blood of Numenor ran nearly pure in Denethor, and in Faramir also. The great cares Denethor was burdened with, losing his wife, and later his son Boromir, and especially using the palantir giving Sauron the opportunity to poison his mind with fear and dread all had made him the way he had become by the time of the War of the Ring.

Something of a mental exercise, what would the Realm on Gondor be like if the Last Alliance had seen the destruction of Sauron and The One Ring? The early part of the Third Age would see Gondor subservient to Arnor. Many Elves would leave to go into the West. This would see the dwindling of Elves in Middle Earth. Gondor's main enemy would be the Black Numenoreans. I suspect a secret alliance with Orcs would have been made to put pressure on both Gondor and Arnor. With Arnor having a smaller population, this would be a serious situation for the joint realm.

In the German translation the Gondorians name for Amon Amarth is basically "Mount Destiny". I am not sure if Tolkien was involved in this change. He was involved in the change from Shelob to Kankra in German - because he was aware that the sound of the word does not connect with a spiderlike being in German - Kankra does work much better.

Do you mean "Schicksalsberg" for Mount Doom? I don't think that is a change. A "doom" is someone's fate or ultimate destiny, at least in the original sense of the word. That is a cool fact about Shelob, though!

Is it possible to show a timeline at the bottom of your next videos that could help visualize the passage of time and what age it is?

I wish you would have included that Minas Tirith did not sit idle during the Pelenor Field battle. They actually sallied out.

I'm interested to know where in particular the story of Cirion sending the riders to the Eotheod with the red arrow is sourced from?

They could make a 10 season show just about Gondor, if they did it right.

They don’t even have to do it right. They just have to keep politics and “the message” out.

Thanks, Matt. After that Rings of Pooper season two rumor list, I really needed this. ❤️

What I wish WB would do since they may never do in live action movie/series. Do many of these big stories in Graphic Novel animation style!! At least they could really make the story/scene’s POP on screen. One story I don’t see them doing in live action sadly is the early battles between the Valar for control of the early planet. Then do Melchor aka Morgoth wage war on early elves dwarves and men!! Then his escape and battle with Ungoliont the spider.

Fantastic video Matt 👍👍. I'm actually glad Tolkien didn't pursue the sequel. It could have been a disservice to the overall Legendarium. 🖖😁🤘🇨🇦🕊️

This is just too much history to put into one video. How am I ever going to keep all this straight in my head? You mentioned that in the future you intend to cover a few of these events in their own videos. I'd LOVE to see you do that... sort of choose a major event from every 500 year (approx) period and give us some way... some outline or structure... that could help us remember more of this. Great overview... but I'll need to come up with some sort of memory technique so that I have a better chance of remembering all of this.
