Fri, 30 Jun 2023 21:53:44 GMT en-US hourly 60 Captain America: Brave New World star Anthony Mackie slams the Harry Potter film franchise for its lack of casting diversity, lamenting the absence of Black actors throughout the acclaimed fantasy movie series.

]]> Fri, 30 Jun 2023 21:53:44 GMT https://www.cbr.com/mcu-anthony-mackie-calls-out-harry-potter-diversity-problem/ In The Lord of the Rings, much is made of the different ages that make up the history of Middle-earth. The events of the main series up to the conclusion of Return of the King happen at the very end of the Third Age, while the Last Alliance of Men and Elves brings the Second Age to a thunderous close (as depicted at the start of The Fellowship of the Ring.) The Silmarillion novel details the devastating war between the forces of good and Morgoth, the most terrible of the Valar.

]]> Thu, 29 Jun 2023 15:00:15 GMT https://www.cbr.com/what-came-before-middle-earth-first-age-lord-of-the-rings/ Fans of The Lord of the Rings watching Amazon's Rings of Power know the huge part Isildur will play in the fate of Middle-earth. Audience members not as familiar with the books know him from the prologue in director Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Ring. The misguided son of the king who defeats the Dark Lord Sauron and who, when given the chance to destroy the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom, claims it for himself. He's not exactly known for his stellar moral decisions, even in events prior to the War of the Ring. Author J.R.R. Tolkien outlined much of Isildur's history in supplemental materials he wrote for his epic saga.

]]> Thu, 29 Jun 2023 14:45:14 GMT https://www.cbr.com/isildur-character-development-suffer-rings-of-power/ In The Lord of the Rings, several dark and mysterious corners of the world take the story outside of the relatively linear conflict happening between the free peoples of Middle-earth and the forces of Sauron. The Dead Men of Dunharrow and the journey Aragorn takes to hold them to their oaths is the most obvious example, but it wasn't the first time members of the Fellowship had encountered ghosts. While journeying to Mordor, Frodo, Sam and Gollum have a desperately difficult journey through an area known as The Dead Marshes, with the former almost losing his life as he attempts to travel through.

]]> Tue, 27 Jun 2023 15:01:13 GMT https://www.cbr.com/who-are-dead-dead-marshes-lord-of-the-rings/ Daedalic Entertainment took a serious risk when it decided to focus a game solely on one of Tolkein's most complex characters. The main series explored the effect that a small being could have on the world compared to legendary and powerful figures, as well as how evil can corrupt anyone. No character in Lord of the Rings shows both of these concepts to the same degree as Smeagol or, as he is better known, Gollum. The developers wanted players to feel a connection to the character, but they explored the wrong period in Gollum's life.

]]> Sun, 25 Jun 2023 16:30:16 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lotr-gollum-game-least-interesting-time-period/ Of the many races and stories within Tolkien's Legendarium, the Dwarves are arguably the ones who take a bit of a backseat in the narrative of The Lord of the Rings. The time of the Elves is coming to an end, and their departure from Middle-earth is critical to the ensuing struggle between Men and Orcs to find the premier successor once they have gone. Hobbits remain an extraordinary part of the story, but Dwarves (outside of Gimli) take a backseat in the descriptions of the War of the Ring. They fought bravely at the Battle of Dale and other critical skirmishes in the North, but they remain the least described throughout the three books. In the author's broader writings, though, the Dwarves have a long and storied history starting far before their starring role in The Hobbit.

]]> Sat, 24 Jun 2023 12:00:15 GMT https://www.cbr.com/dwarves-middle-earth-history-explained-lord-of-the-rings/ In a surprise deal last summer the Swedish gaming conglomerate Embracer Group bought the rights to both Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

]]> Fri, 23 Jun 2023 18:14:17 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-rights-sell-less-500-million/ As The Lord of the Rings' Fellowship assembled and began traveling toward Mordor, Sauron was preparing for war. The Dark Lord didn't expect subterfuge. He expected Gandalf and company to take the One Ring to Gondor so that Aragorn could wield it against him. So, he mustered all of his armies and got ready to fight. Of course, Sauron was wrong because Frodo took the Ring and secretly snuck across the Anduin River. But even with his miscalculation, war was afoot in Middle-earth.

]]> Fri, 23 Jun 2023 17:00:14 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-beorn-sauron-fight/ The Lord of the Rings' Fellowship was a doomed cause from the very beginning. Gandalf and Elrond assembled a group of nine walkers to parallel the nine Nazgûl, and it was a worthy idea. But there was no way that the Fellowship was going to succeed as a group. There were simply too many trials and enemies on the way to Mordor. Besides, it wasn't like all nine of them were going to waltz up to Mount Doom without Sauron noticing their approach.

]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2023 10:00:16 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-fellowship-of-the-ring-original-ending-orc-frodo-encounter/ Magic: The Gathering's latest Universes Beyond product is The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, and the appeal goes beyond the flavorful Tolkien flair. This product also features plenty of valuable cards for collectors and competitive players, starting with the famous The One Ring artifact card. Tales of Middle-earth's four Commander decks are adding even more value.

]]> Sun, 18 Jun 2023 15:50:17 GMT https://www.cbr.com/mtg-lotr-commander-deck-values/ The X-Men have been handling all sorts of threats in the build-up to Fall of X. As their technological enemies in Orchis utilize both mundane and supernatural means of confronting the mutant nation, the X-Men and their allies have had to try and counter this any way they can. However, a new mystical complication could become a corrupting force that compromises the entire Marvel Universe.

]]> Sat, 17 Jun 2023 15:30:16 GMT https://www.cbr.com/hells-paradise-lotr-female-representation-matters/ Magic: The Gathering is a fantasy trading card game that is always welcoming new players, and products such as Jump-Start boosters and starter decks are a fine entry point. To bring in LotR fans, the game is releasing the incredible Tales of Middle-earth set, but this set may actually appeal more to enfranchised MTG players than curious newcomers.

]]> Sat, 17 Jun 2023 14:10:16 GMT https://www.cbr.com/tales-of-middle-earth-bad-for-beginners/ The latest entry in the Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond imprint is pulling from some of the fantasy genre's most influential characters -- and it's doing so with some truly stunning art. Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth features new versions of Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn, and the rest of Middle-Earth's heroes and villains to MtG players, with over a hundred cards adapting the classic setting to the modern trading card game. Each piece comes with a beautiful new imagining of Middle-Earth's setting and story, breathing new life into the characters from a modern and diverse perspective.

]]> Thu, 15 Jun 2023 22:16:16 GMT https://www.cbr.com/sgf-magic-the-gathering-lord-of-the-rings/ The finale of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy, The Battle of the Five Armies, wraps up Bilbo Baggins' epic journey across Middle-earth and sets the stage for The Lord of the Rings. But who exactly are the five armies? Between author J.R.R. Tolkien's novel and Jackson's films, the answer isn't so simple.

]]> Thu, 15 Jun 2023 00:00:16 GMT https://www.cbr.com/the-hobbit-five-armies-explained/ The Lord of the Rings franchise is so deeply ingrained in pop culture that even the most casual of nerds can rattle off some amount of trivia on the subject. This massive popularity makes it ripe for video game adaptations. But the latest game to adapt Tolkien's work, Lord of the Rings: Gollum, has not been nearly as successful as previous LotR hits like Battle for Middle Earth or Lord of the Rings: Conquest.

]]> Wed, 14 Jun 2023 18:40:16 GMT https://www.cbr.com/gollum-disappointing-shadow-of-mordor-lotr/ Although it's been a controversial decision, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power hasn't stopped filming Season 2 amid the ongoing writers' strike. Along with production, marketing has also been moving full-steam ahead. Actors, producers and even the series' composer have all been doing interviews promoting the upcoming season. Of particular note was an interview with Morfydd Clark, where she hinted that Glorfindel might be one of the new characters coming in Season 2.

]]> Wed, 14 Jun 2023 17:45:14 GMT https://www.cbr.com/the-rings-of-power-season2-warlike-gil-galad-elrond/ The newly rebranded Max streaming service includes much of what its predecessor, HBO Max, had to offer. In addition to new content, the relaunched streaming platform now also includes more films in crisp 4k resolution, allowing audiences to experience these movies in a whole new light.

]]> Tue, 13 Jun 2023 17:45:15 GMT https://www.cbr.com/10-best-4k-movies-to-watch-on-max/ As one of The Lord of the Rings' Istari, Gandalf was tasked with rallying the free peoples of Middle-earth against the evils of Sauron. But there was a catch. Because of the damage done during the War of Wrath, the Valar had barred Gandalf, Saruman and the other wizards from using their full Maiaric powers. However, Gandalf made an exception when he fought the Balrog known as Durin's Bane.

]]> Tue, 13 Jun 2023 13:00:15 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-movies-gandalf-nazgul-fight-never-explained/ Dwarves in Middle-earth have a reputation for being greedy, self-centered and caring only for wealth. Because of that, many assume their absence from The Lord of the Rings means they refused to help defeat Sauron. However, that is far from the truth, as the Dwarven kingdoms were busy fighting one of the largest battles of the entire War of the Ring, leaving only Gimli to aid the race of Men. So, where were the Dwarves in The Lord of the Rings?

]]> Mon, 12 Jun 2023 18:00:17 GMT https://www.cbr.com/where-dwarves-lord-of-rings/ Tolkien designed The Lord of the Rings' Elves to be regal, stoic and strong, which made sense because they were immortal, otherworldly beings. Luckily, Peter Jackson's adaptation did a great job of portraying those qualities. Hugo Weaving's Elrond was one example. Elrond had lived for thousands of years, and he showed off his hard-earned wisdom as he spearheaded the Council of Elrond. Yet Cate Blanchett's Galadriel was an even better example of Elven majesty and strength. She was a regal queen, but she was also an extremely powerful being.

]]> Mon, 12 Jun 2023 10:00:15 GMT https://www.cbr.com/why-galadriel-one-ring-refusal-difficult-lord-of-the-rings/ During Lord of the Rings' Council of Elrond, it was decided that Frodo would take Sauron's Ring to Mordor and destroy it in the fires of Mount Doom. Everyone in attendance knew that the task would be nearly impossible. To better their odds of success, Elrond and Gandalf greenlit a company of travelers to accompany and protect Frodo. In all, there were nine members of the Fellowship, and together, they represented each of Middle-earth's main races: Elves, Dwarves, Men and Hobbits.

]]> Mon, 12 Jun 2023 02:00:16 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-gimli-dwarves-strong/ Power-scaling in The Lord of the Rings can be kind of difficult. Obviously, Sauron was the most powerful being in Middle-earth, and Gandalf the White claimed to be the second most powerful. But after that, things start to get complicated. How would a fully-powered Saruman fare against Gandalf the White? How powerful would Galadriel be if she was pitted against a Maiar? For that matter, how powerful were the Nazgûl? In the movies, the Witch-king broke Gandalf's staff, but in the books, his greatest power was inciting fear. Unfortunately, a lot of those questions don't have answers.

]]> Sun, 11 Jun 2023 15:00:13 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-tom-bombadil-almost-fought-nazgul/ Director Peter Jackson has a long history of including himself in his films, and his adaptations of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are no exception. Each of his six movies set in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth features one brief appearance from the fun-loving New Zealand director. Most of these cameos last for only a split-second, but a couple of his characters actually contribute to the plot, even if only in a small way.

]]> Sat, 10 Jun 2023 18:00:16 GMT https://www.cbr.com/peter-jackson-cameos-lord-of-rings-hobbit/ During The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, it's revealed Gandalf did not fall to his death but instead battled with the Balrog to his last breath. With his victory, Gandalf the Grey passed from Middle-earth and returned even more powerful as Gandalf the White. Yet, who exactly had Gandalf come back to the mortal realm, and why did they do it?

]]> Sat, 10 Jun 2023 11:00:17 GMT https://www.cbr.com/gandalf-resurrection-explained-lord-of-rings/ Magic: The Gathering players love top-down sets like The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, where flavor and fun come first, but even sets like this one can pack serious power with cards that any competitive deck can use. A notable example is Orcish Bowmasters, a cheap black Orc creature card that's quickly becoming a breakout star.

]]> Wed, 07 Jun 2023 22:15:16 GMT https://www.cbr.com/mtg-lotr-tales-of-middle-earth-orcish-bowmasters-modern/ Magic: The Gathering's latest Universes Beyond set is The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, which brings countless legendary characters and creatures to life as MTG cards -- including the fearsome giant spider, Shelob. Tales of Middle-earth is working wonders for underrated or developing tribes like Orcs and Treefolk, and now even MTG's fledgling Spider tribe is getting an enormous boost with Shelob, Child of Ungoliant.

]]> Wed, 07 Jun 2023 21:15:15 GMT https://www.cbr.com/mtg-lotr-tales-of-middle-earth-shelob-spider-tribe/ Magic: The Gathering players are warned to be wary of where they open their The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth collector boosters.

]]> Wed, 07 Jun 2023 18:33:54 GMT https://www.cbr.com/mtg-lord-of-the-rings-booster-one-ring-valuable/ In J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Frodo and his Hobbit companions experienced a couple of dramatic adventures before even arriving at the Prancing Pony. Then, after one of the Nazgûl stabbed Frodo, the Elf-lord Glorfindel brought Frodo to Rivendell. In director Peter Jackson's adaptation, there were no adventures before the Prancing Pony (beyond a close encounter with a Black Rider), and Arwen took Frodo to the House of Elrond. After that, however, they formed the Fellowship of the Ring, and most of Tolkien and Jackson's work align perfectly.

]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2023 18:00:29 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-rings-fellowship-member-ages-explained/ The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth is the latest instalment in Magic: The Gathering's Universes Beyond series. This exciting crossover set is a great way to bring in LotR fans and turn them into casual MTG players as well. Tales of Middle-earth directly adapts the original LotR books rather than the movies, so the set features tons of content not seen in Peter Jackson's trilogy -- including the Shire's unexpected fate at the end of Return of the King.

]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2023 15:16:13 GMT https://www.cbr.com/mtg-lotr-tales-of-middle-earth-field-of-ruin-reprint/ The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth is an upcoming Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond set that encapsulates Tolkein's entire legendary fantasy saga in a single product -- beginning, middle and end. Most cards from Tales of Middle-earth depict the chaos of war, like MTG's newly resurgent Orc tribe, but a few cards from the set show LotR's happy ending too.

]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2023 11:46:13 GMT https://www.cbr.com/mtg-lotr-tales-of-middle-earth-samwise-rosie-cotton/ The Lord of the Rings ended on a fairly happy note. With Sauron and most of his minions defeated, the free peoples of Middle-earth were free to live their lives as they saw fit. Aragorn married Arwen and was crowned King of Gondor. Gimli became the Lord of the Glittering Caves, and he spent a lot of time with his good friend, Legolas. Meanwhile, the Hobbits went back to the shire and (after expelling Saruman) settled back into their old lives.

]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2023 10:00:15 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-valinor-mortals-die/ The Lord of the Rings is filled with great characters and great character development, which was shown in several ways. For example, Merry and Pippin became very brave. In The Fellowship of the Rings, they were afraid of being caught by Farmer Maggot, but by the end of the trilogy, they were fighting battles and helping defeat a Nazgûl. Meanwhile, Sam's journey allowed him to grow, including building up enough courage to ask Rosie Cotton to marry him.

]]> Sun, 04 Jun 2023 22:00:16 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-legolas-bow-explained/ Even though The Rings of Power Season 2 is still in the distant future, the series' cast and crew have been busy. They've been having plenty of discussions about the successes of Season 1 and the coming grandeur of Season 2. In interviews with CBR, Peter Mullins talked about the emotional truth involved in playing Durin III, while Owain Arthur and Sophia Nomvete talked about finding their Dwarven characters and their favorite scenes. Even composer Bear McCreary talked about bringing his musical magic to Middle-earth.

]]> Sun, 04 Jun 2023 15:46:12 GMT https://www.cbr.com/the-rings-of-power-season2-theory-glorfindel/ Besides Frodo and Gandalf, Aragorn might have been the most important character in The Lord of the Rings. Without him, Frodo and the other Hobbits wouldn't have made it to Rivendell, and after Gandalf fell in Moria, the Fellowship would have been lost without Aragorn's leadership. There were many other instances of Aragorn's bravery and heroism, but it culminated in The Return of the King when Aragorn marched on the Black Gate with a severely depleted army.

]]> Fri, 02 Jun 2023 15:00:14 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-aragorn-prancing-pony-different-books/ The Lord the Rings: Gollum has broken a mostly consistent win streak for major Lord of the Rings game releases, with its consistent game-breaking bugs, lackluster animation and poor mechanics being the main source of players' complaints. Indeed, developers of Gollum issued a formal response on Twitter just one day after the game's official release, apologizing to players for the disappointing gameplay and its unintentionally distasteful reflection of The Lord of the Rings fan base. While the developers have promised potential patches and bug fixes in the future, many have been left doubting if Gollum is even worth saving.

]]> Thu, 01 Jun 2023 20:15:13 GMT https://www.cbr.com/the-lord-of-the-rings-gollum-lotr-good-future-games/ Tales of Middle-Earth is Magic: The Gathering's latest Universes Beyond expansion set, and it's filled with fan-favorite characters from Tolkien's fantasy saga. Among Tales of Middle-earth's legendary creatures is one of the wisest and fairest elves ever to walk Middle-earth -- none other than Galadriel, the Lady of the woods of Lothlórien.

]]> Wed, 31 May 2023 15:15:20 GMT https://www.cbr.com/mtg-lotr-tales-of-middle-earth-galadriel/ Movie adaptations are a challenge to pull off. What works in one medium doesn't work nearly so well in another. Film is primarily visual, whereas books and similar media use language to communicate their stories and ideas. Despite the challenges involved, fans want adaptations to be faithful. They want to see their favorite work on the screen, not a loose interpretation.

]]> Wed, 31 May 2023 14:00:14 GMT https://www.cbr.com/movie-adaptations-vs-source-material/ The Lord of the Rings has plenty of pitiable characters. Gollum might be the best example, as his ill-fated life personified the power of Sauron's One Ring. But there were plenty of other tragic characters. The Nazgûl were promised power and turned into thralls. Similarly, Nerdanel watched her seven sons sail to their deaths, and Denethor slipped into despair after waging mental war with Sauron. However, there's one character that's not even remotely pitiable, and that's Saruman the White.

]]> Wed, 31 May 2023 12:00:14 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-saruman-death-explained/ Magic: The Gathering's upcoming The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth reimagines the franchise's greatest heroes and villains in epic fashion.

]]> Tue, 30 May 2023 17:30:14 GMT https://www.cbr.com/mtg-lotr-set-aragorn-galadriel/ Magic: The Gathering's upcoming Universes Beyond expansion set, Tales of Middle-earth, promises to bring Tolkien's epic fantasy saga The Lord of the Rings to life with fun and flavorful MTG cards. It's the biggest Universes Beyond set to date, and it launches with Commander Decks, Boosters, Bundles and more. Unlike other Universes Beyond releases, Tales of Middle-earth will be legal in MTG's highly competitive Modern format, as well as in Commander and MTG's Eternal formats.

]]> Tue, 30 May 2023 17:17:39 GMT https://www.cbr.com/magic-the-gathering-lord-of-the-rings-spoilers/ Despite numerous production issues and some questionable filming decisions, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is plugging along with its Season 2 efforts. Season 1 came up short for some fans, so everyone involved with the sophomore campaign has been touting the scale, emotion and detail that's in the works. When the new season debuts, fans can expect numerous improvements, including some cool new villains -- and hopefully, there's a future Nazgûl involved.

]]> Tue, 30 May 2023 13:45:13 GMT https://www.cbr.com/rings-of-power-galadriel-major-lotr-event/ Creation in The Lord of the Rings happened through music. The event was called the Ainulindalë, and it began with Eru Ilúvatar. As LOTR's god figure, he conceived the Ainur in his mind and brought them into being. Then, he taught them how to make music, and they did so. At first, there was harmony, but Melkor's musical themes clashed with the rest, causing discord and strife. Yet it was all part of Eru's plan. When their music stopped, the universe had been created.

]]> Tue, 30 May 2023 12:00:15 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-tuor-immortal-valinor/ Magic: The Gathering's take on The Lord of the Rings' Aragorn causes a fervor on social media.

]]> Mon, 29 May 2023 19:03:52 GMT https://www.cbr.com/mtg-aragorn-black-fan-reaction/ Death scenes typically serve as the highlight for films, especially when an essential character is involved. Whether hero or villain, the way an individual goes out is often the way they're remembered and can completely redefine the audience's opinion of them.

]]> Mon, 29 May 2023 15:40:15 GMT https://www.cbr.com/weird-movie-deaths/ Recent years have seen an increase in the fantasy genre's popularity, from the hit Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon to the epic sci-fi/fantasy movie Avatar: The Way of Water. Of course, there has always been a dedicated fanbase that loved these fantastical storylines.

]]> Sun, 28 May 2023 17:40:14 GMT https://www.cbr.com/overused-fan-favorite-fantasy-tropes/ Led by Gandalf, The Lord of the Rings' Fellowship left Rivendell with plans of making it to Mordor. They wanted to destroy Sauron's One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom, but it didn't take long before they ran into problems. A flock of Crebain watched the road south, which meant that the Pass of Rohan wasn't an option. So, Gandalf chose to take the Pass of Caradhras because he knew that something vile was hiding in the depths of Khazad-dûm.

]]> Sun, 28 May 2023 13:30:13 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-why-balrog-chose-moria-home/ The Rings Of Power had a difficult first season, with many Lord Of The Rings fans pointing out problems with it. LOTR fans and prequels have a rough history, considering The Hobbit's reception, but that doesn't mean all is lost. The Rings Of Power has a chance to redeem itself in its second season, and a good way to do that would be to bring in characters from the books and movies.

]]> Sun, 28 May 2023 12:00:15 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lotr-characters-fans-want-in-rings-of-power-season-2/ A Lord of the Rings fan just unveiled his massive Balrog battle tattoo online -- and it's absolutely jaw-dropping.

]]> Sun, 28 May 2023 09:43:48 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-massive-balrog-battle-tattoo/ The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien is largely responsible for modern fantasy. Tolkien's idea to make "a fairy story... written for and read by adults" proved to be incredibly popular, and his work continues to live on today. However, like many books that came out in the 1950s, some elements of Tolkien's work haven't aged particularly well.

]]> Sat, 27 May 2023 19:30:15 GMT https://www.cbr.com/ways-lord-of-the-rings-has-aged-poorly/ During The Lord of the Rings' Council of Elrond, Boromir agreed to be part of the group that would accompany Frodo on his journey. The will of the Valar indicated that Faramir should have joined the Fellowship instead, but Boromir pridefully took the task upon himself. It turned out that the Valar were right because Boromir betrayed his purpose and tried to steal the One Ring from Frodo. Yet he redeemed himself in the end. He tried to save Merry and Pippin from Saruman's deadly Uruk-hai.

]]> Thu, 25 May 2023 13:00:14 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-pippin-denethor-scene-movies/ The Council of Elrond took place in The Lord of the Rings shortly after Frodo and the Hobbits arrived at Rivendell. There, it was decided Frodo would journey to Mordor in hopes of destroying the One Ring in the location where Sauron forged it, Mount Doom.

]]> Thu, 25 May 2023 11:00:15 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-legolas-best-archer-explained/ Saruman the White, the great Maiar that fell from grace and became an ally of Sauron in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, was a force to be reckoned with. Considering the Maiar had demigod status in Middle-earth, it's hard to believe he got outsmarted so often. But Saruman's weakness looks even worse when one realizes that a Man resisted Sauron's temptations when he could not.

]]> Tue, 23 May 2023 14:01:12 GMT https://www.cbr.com/denethor-mentally-stronger-saruman-lord-of-the-rings/ Galadriel and Elrond were two powerful Elves who had seen the ages pass and played a huge role in formative events throughout Middle-earth. Having been friends, confidants and allies for thousands of years seemed like a great justifier for these two to have shared a relationship closer than friendship. On The Rings of Power, Galadriel and Elrond's relationship was displayed with some ambiguous hints of a romantic connection. But was it ever meant to be?

]]> Mon, 22 May 2023 16:00:15 GMT https://www.cbr.com/galadriel-elrond-relationship-explained-lord-of-the-rings/ The Rings of Power had a lot of different plotlines in Season 1. The Stranger showed up in Middle-earth and made friends with the Harfoots, while Adar attacked the Southlanders with his Orcs. Meanwhile, Durin and Disa discovered Mithril in the depths of Moria. Although it wasn't totally The Lord of the Rings accurate, the Balrog was awake by the end of the series. However, the series' most important plotline showed Galadriel continuing her centuries-long hunt for Sauron.

]]> Mon, 22 May 2023 11:46:12 GMT https://www.cbr.com/the-rings-of-power-villains-season2-scarier/ The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien is one of the most influential book trilogies of all time, helping define the epic fantasy genre. Peter Jackson's movies are no different. The Lord of the Rings trilogy set the bar high for other fantasies, especially in terms of narrative, world-building, and sheer awesomeness.

]]> Sat, 20 May 2023 16:30:12 GMT https://www.cbr.com/the-lord-of-the-rings-harsh-realities-rewatch/ In The Lord of the Rings, when Bilbo decided to leave his life behind and go live in Rivendell, Gandalf made him leave his magic ring to Frodo. After that, Gandalf went on a 17-year research project, where he confirmed that Bilbo's ring was actually Sauron's Ruling Ring. From there, Gandalf started scrambling. He went back to the Shire and told Frodo to get out of town. Things happened a bit slower in the books, but Frodo's destination was the same in both iterations: the unsavory town of Bree. There, Gandalf hoped to meet the Hobbits and construct a plan.

He spent time creating countless backstories, complete languages and beautify-described locations. Tolkien even took the time to give his characters iconic weapons. Glamdring, Orcrist and Sting debuted in The Hobbit, and the weapons' ancient histories gave depth to the story.

]]> Tue, 16 May 2023 07:56:48 GMT https://www.cbr.com/andy-serkis-ready-reprise-gollum-new-lotr-projects/ For a number of reasons, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 1 debuted to mixed reactions. From lore complaints to story and dialogue issues, a lot of The Lord of the Rings fans agreed that the series didn't quite live up to its hype. Some fans (like the Hobbit's Richard Armitage) refused to watch Rings of Power all together. Season 2 will look to right some of the series' wrongs, but it's already been hit with a number of production issues, including the decision to film during the WGA strike.

Besides Andy Serkis' amazing performance and Weta FX's groundbreaking special effects, Gollum became an icon in his own right because of his characterization and tragic story.

]]> Sun, 14 May 2023 20:15:15 GMT https://www.cbr.com/gollum-trivia-facts-lotr/ The Lord of the Rings trilogy did a great job condensing J.R.R. Tolkien's irreplaceable novels for the movies, and introducing audiences to the definitive versions of the most well-known fantasy archetypes and races. One such race was that of the Elves, who are probably best represented in live-action by Legolas.

]]> Sun, 14 May 2023 19:30:15 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lotr-elves-facts-only-readers-know/ The Lord of the Rings was chock-full of otherworldly figures. Elves were immortal beings, and some of them had been to the undying realm of Valinor. Meanwhile, Gandalf and the other wizards appeared as old Men, but they were actually primordial beings who were sent to Middle-earth by LOTR's angelic beings. However, not all the otherworldly beings in The Lord of the Rings were forces for good. Some of them were terrifying, and others were downright deadly.

]]> Sun, 14 May 2023 19:00:16 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-barrow-wights-deadly/ The epic battle of Helm's Deep in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers raised the stakes for the film's heroes when they were forced to make a stand at the stronghold of Helm's Deep with what was left of the people of Rohan. Young boys, old men, and a force of Elves stood off against 10,000 fresh Ukuk-hai from Isengard. In total, the numbers were around 800 for Rohan. Although these numbers and circumstances were dire, big elements of the battle remained underplayed: the thick walls and formidable minds within Helm's Deep itself.

Whether through the original book series, films, video games, or the recent The Rings of Power spin-off, the fantasy epic continues to garner countless fans through various channels. Unsurprisingly, another format that has helped immortalize the series is fan-made memes.

]]> Sat, 13 May 2023 16:41:13 GMT https://www.cbr.com/best-lotr-reddit-memes-ranked/ Of all the locations in The Lord of the Rings movies, the cities certainly stood out, and each city's architecture exemplified the race that built them. Rivendell offered a sense of reclusive safety, and Lothlórien displayed the Elves' hidden beauty and light. The ruins of Moria had an air of former splendor and Dwarvish determination, while Edoras and Helm's Deep showed the grit of the Rohirrim. However, the city that really stood out was Minas Tirith. Even in the face of impending doom, it maintained an appearance of Númenórean regality and importance.

]]> Fri, 12 May 2023 13:01:14 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-minas-tirith-osgiliath-importance/ When it comes to powerful beings in The Lord of the Rings, characters such as Gandalf, Saruman, Galadriel and Sauron are discussed at great length. Gandalf the Grey, who is actually an immortal spirit of the Maiar, certainly makes a case for his power, having been resurrected and having orchestrated the journey to destroy the One Ring. Galadriel is the last of the ancient Ñoldor, one of the most powerful beings in Middle-earth (they crafted the palantíri, after all) and, having been born in Valinor, Galadriel has the blood of all three Elf Kindreds in her veins. Saruman and Sauron wielded incredible ancient and determined power to create the Uruk-hai and dominate Middle-earth, respectively.

]]> Wed, 10 May 2023 21:15:13 GMT https://www.cbr.com/mtg-lotr-tales-of-middle-earth-books-matter-more-than-movies/ Given its unprecedented budget and The Lord of the Rings source material, The Rings of Power was highly touted. Its 25 million viewers made it Prime Video's largest premiere event. Unfortunately, the series' viewership numbers fell with each subsequent episode. There were various reasons for the decline in viewers, but the showrunners have promised that Season 2 will make good on certain Season 1 complaints.

]]> Wed, 10 May 2023 14:45:14 GMT https://www.cbr.com/morfydd-clark-galadriel-teases-rings-of-power-season2/ When Frodo arrived at Rivendell in The Lord of the Rings, he might have thought that his work was finished, but he couldn't have been more wrong. It wasn't long before the Council of Elrond decided that Sauron's Ring needed to be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom. So, Frodo volunteered to continue what he started, and the Fellowship was formed to protect him on his journey. While it was a coincidence that many of the Fellowship members were in Rivendell, they all joined the quest with the utmost loyalty.

]]> Wed, 10 May 2023 14:00:16 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-boromir-death-elvish-music-easter-egg/ The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth has plenty of fans excited to dig in. It's the first Lord of the Rings game to release since Amazon's The Rings of Power, meaning the Middle-earth fanbase is larger than ever and eager for more adventures. But this eagerness will turn to disappointment for many, as Heroes of Middle-earth fails to create a new Lord of the Rings experience worth visiting.

Tales of Middle-Earth is an enormous tribute to LotR that dives deep into the original books' extensive lore, but despite its depth, casual fans don't have to feel left out.

The One Ring's influence extends far beyond just one card, as many other cards in Tales of Middle-earth are printed with an entirely new mechanic never before seen in Magic: The Gathering based on the One Ring's temptation.

Just ask a Star Trek fan why Star Wars gets its own day, and there's bound to be a heated debate. However, there's no argument that Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings adaptation is one of the best trilogies ever made. From the casting to the visual effects and the storytelling, everything turned out great, as Jackson perfectly captured the essence of Middle-earth.

]]> Tue, 09 May 2023 09:23:39 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-inspired-sauron-butterfly/ The Lord of the Rings is filled with iconic scenes, and it's fair to say that most of them involve Gandalf. From his Balrog fight in the depths of Moria to casting Saruman out of Theoden's mind, Gandalf put his power on display more than once. Yet it was Gandalf's wisdom that made his character stand out. For example, telling Frodo that Gollum deserved pity was one of his best moments in The Fellowship of the Ring.

]]> Sun, 07 May 2023 22:30:13 GMT https://www.cbr.com/gandalf-disturber-of-the-peace-lord-of-the-rings/ The Lord of the Rings ended in triumph, but the story is filled with many, unbelievable tragedies. Countless people sacrificed themselves to ensure that Sauron would be defeated, and a ton of characters experienced loss or were displaced by the trials of war. In terms of the main characters, Frodo had to leave Middle-earth to be healed from the mental and spiritual wounds that the One Ring left on him. Bilbo went with him, and Sam eventually joined them.

Instead of trying to sell viewers on a show, the targets are the respective academy's voters. Since no company can market like Amazon, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power might get some overdue justice for genre fare at these award shows.

]]> Sun, 07 May 2023 00:46:12 GMT https://www.cbr.com/rings-of-power-emmys-genre/ Largely since the release of director Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Hobbit (2012-2014), the wizard Gandalf from J.R.R. Tolkien's literary masterpiece The Lord of the Rings has become a subject of romantic speculation. Although Gandalf mostly managed to avoid any sort of connotations throughout the release of Jackson's original Lord of the Rings film trilogy, The Hobbit films amped up online fan theories. In The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Galadriel saves Gandalf from being held captive by Sauron, and the two share an intimate moment. She holds and kisses him tenderly on the forehead, prompting him to spring back to consciousness. It's easy to see why audiences might latch onto this scene and start concocting theories about the nature of Gandalf and Galadriel's relationship, but it doesn't exactly line up with Tolkien's intent for Gandalf's character.

]]> Sat, 06 May 2023 22:30:13 GMT https://www.cbr.com/gandalf-love-life-relationships-explained-lord-of-the-rings/ When Frodo left Rivendell, his only goal was to make it to Mordor. But he had no idea just how many obstacles The Lord of the Rings would throw at him. There was the Watcher in the Water, the Balrog and countless Orcs. Not to mention, he was captured by Faramir's soldier, lost in the Emyn Muil and hunted by the Nazgûl. So, when Gollum offered to help him and Sam, he was grateful to finally have a way into Mordor. However, Sam was suspicious of Gollum from the very beginning.

Ostensibly, plot holes are contradictions or oversights in the story that are so impossible to ignore that they "ruin" the movie. However, if fans think about some of the biggest movie plot holes, it's clear that they're anything but.

]]> Tue, 02 May 2023 18:40:14 GMT https://www.cbr.com/biggest-non-plot-holes-movies/ The famous work of J.R.R Tolkien, The Lord Of The Rings, is nothing short of a masterpiece. Not only did the author create a new, fictional world, but he left no stone unturned, including bloodlines, languages, and cultures. Every rigorously thought-out element allowed readers to immerse themselves in middle-earth and understand the friendships between characters.

]]> Tue, 02 May 2023 16:30:13 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lotr-best-friendships/ When Morgoth was defeated, Sauron finally had the chance to become The Lord of the Rings' ultimate Dark Lord. Rather than trying to dominate the world by force as Morgoth did, he decided to play the long game and utilize his cunning. Through a lot of subterfuge, Sauron made Rings of Power, distributed them to the different races of Middle-earth and kept a master ring for himself. That One Ring was easily the most powerful object in the history of Middle-earth.

She was born in the heavenly realm of Valinor, thousands of years before the sun rose. As such, she had seen the passing of countless years and the trials of many wars. Her wisdom was abounding, and her power was also of untold potential. With the power of her Elven Ring, she kept Sauron's darkness out of Lothlórien for years. After the Dark Lord's defeat, she ripped down the tower of Dol Goldur with her raw strength.

Tolkien's works had mixed feelings about the Prime Video series inspired by The Silmarillion. With the promise of more films in Middle-earth on the horizon, one piece of Tolkien's works is overlooked. Tolkien left behind 13 pages of The New Shadow, the unfinished sequel to The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

]]> Mon, 01 May 2023 12:45:12 GMT https://www.cbr.com/lord-of-the-rings-the-new-shadow-tolkien/ The Lord of the Rings' Hobbit trilogy was a Hollywood adaptation of the J.R.R. Tolkien novel. It's no secret that the movies made plenty of changes to the source material. For one, it added an unnecessary rivalry between Thorin and Thranduil. But more importantly, it resurrected Azog the Defiler to be a personal nemesis for Thorin Oakenshield. Years earlier, Thorin had badly wounded Azog in battle, but the Pale Orc returned in the films to hunt Thorin in an insatiable quest for revenge.

]]> Sun, 30 Apr 2023 14:30:13 GMT https://www.cbr.com/moive-overpowered-strongest-characters-nerfed/ The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power had its fair share of detractors, but there was one aspect that no one could hate on: the beautiful and evocative settings. Season 1 introduced fans to the Elven cities of Lindon and Eregion. The pair of cities perfectly embodied the regality of the Eldar. Likewise, Khazad-dûm personified the pomp and brashness of Dwarvish society. Finally, Númenor shown with a splendor that foreshadowed Minas Tirith from The Lord of the Rings.

]]> Sun, 30 Apr 2023 02:46:12 GMT https://www.cbr.com/the-rings-of-power-port-city-pelargir/ The Hobbit made more than a few changes to J.R.R. Tolkien's version of the story. Among other things, it changed the fate of Azog the Defiler to give Thorin a nemesis, and it created an unrealistic love story between the Elf Tauriel and Thorin's nephew Kili. Not to mention, it added the whole storyline about the White Council's efforts to expel the Necromancer from Dol Guldur. The White Council plot was part of Tolkien's story, but it was only a vague reference in The Hobbit itself.

Sauron had all kinds of servants, and they were all hunting for the One Ring. However, Gandalf and the rest of the Fellowship didn't expect to be waylaid by so many evils that had nothing to do with Sauron. In avoiding the devilry of Saruman, they were forced to face the Watcher in the Water and the Balrog of Moria.

]]> Sat, 29 Apr 2023 13:31:14 GMT https://www.cbr.com/could-gandalf-die-again-lord-of-the-rings/ For die-hard readers of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic tomes, which defined Western fantasy literature for decades, it’s difficult to justify the condensation of millennia in The Silmarillion’s timeline to create Amazon’s The Rings of Power. As difficult as this is to digest, it's clear that from a television perspective, this was the best way to introduce The Silmarillion. After all, the condensing of the timeline builds incredible potential for Tolkien's older tomes to be translated into an exciting adventure over a biblical study of fantasy world-building. In order to inspire new readers, engaging film and television adaptations are paramount.

The two Blue Wizards, Alatar and Pallando, arrived in the Second Age of Middle-earth. Over a thousand years later, the three others -- Saruman the White, Gandalf the Grey and Radagast the Brown -- arrived during the Third Age. In theory, their mission was simple: They were to stop the spread of evil in Middle-earth.

The Dark Lord created the Nazgûl by offering Rings of Power to nine kings of Men. Enthralled with the prospects of power, the Men accepted the gifts and slowly turned into fearsome Ringwraiths. Endless armies of Orcs also served the Dark Lord, along with the Corsairs of Umbar, the Easterlings and some of the Dwarvish clans. Even Saruman -- whose whole purpose was to stop Sauron -- was compelled to join the Dark Lord.

Sauron's One Ring was destroyed, and the Dark Lord's efforts were thwarted. Because of that, Aragorn was crowned king of Gondor, and his reign ushered in an era of unprecedented peace. However, the free peoples' ultimate triumph shouldn't overshadow the tragedies that countless people endured. Sauron's bid for power resulted in hardship and suffering in Middle-earth. Even Frodo had to travel to Valinor to be healed of his spiritual wounds.

Martin is famed for killing off his characters in an unexpected and spectacular fashion. While it's always difficult to see a beloved character be taken out of the story for good, it makes the stakes feel much higher. Martin clearly has a strict view on how death should be treated in fiction, as he's even criticized The Lord of the Rings' treatment of the concept while raising some fair points.

Technically, Sauron didn't need his One Ring to conquer Middle-earth, but he still wanted it back. So, he sent the Nazgûl to find and kill the Baggins that had his precious piece of jewelry. With the Black Riders out in full force, Gandalf sent Frodo and Sam to Bree, where he hoped to meet them. The Grey Wizard ended up in the claws of Saruman's treachery, but the Hobbits found a friend in Aragorn.
