    Why did Aragorn take so long to make himself 👑king?

    Aragorn was the rightful heir to the throne, a descendant of Isildur, That was indisputably so, so much that not even Denethor (who, from the books, as I'll mention in my next thread, seems more a tragic character and a decent ruler than a villain, as the movies seem to show him to be) would be...
  2. Who is the greatest numenorean 👑king?

    I have done a lot of research on the dates this but if anyone wants to know where I got this information from about the dates it is mostly from unfinished tales and the Tolkien gateway website.

    Why were the Nazgul (minus the Witch King) so hard to 💀kill?

    Even Gandalf, who was a freaking Mair and was able to kill a Balrog, seems like he was incapable of destroying these things.
  4. High 👑king of the Noldor

    Hi, Fingolfin is said to be the first high king of the Noldor in Beleriand. But what about Maedhros and Fëanor? They were also kings of Noldor in Beleriand. So why they weren't consider as high kings?

  8. How did "Witch King" Sound like in Return of the King book?

    What i find weird is the cartoon has the appearance of him right.... but he sounds like skeletor :rolleyes: What is cool though is J.R.R Tolkien himself did audiobooks of the books. Or atleast parts of it
  9. How does Gollum differ throughout the films?

    I think he did it smart on that one. In the book Gollum is depicted as dark. But realistically if you were in a cave with no sunlight, being pale is most likely to be a thing. But in Fellowship of the Ring movie, Gollum is depicted as dark looking in that one. And then Two Towers is when you...

    The civil wars between Faithful and King's Men were proved to be impossible, however, how about civil wars between the King's men? Yes, seriously. As we know Numenor begun to lost it's virtue after it's corruption since the reign of Ciryatan, patriotism, as an result, though not directly...
