Hey everyone! New Masters of Mythology video on how Dwarves transformed from crafters to warriors across mythology to fiction (and the answer has a lot to do with Tolkien!). Enjoy!

@Yoystan I’m assuming this video is either 1 minute or 30 hours long

Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing well! Here is a video comparing the LOTR movies and Rings of Power, why one succeeds where the other struggles. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts!

Sean Astin is reportedly being eyed to return as Samwise in The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past This likely suggests Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd are also being eyed to return as Merry and Pippin (via Daniel RPK)

@Thomas_Hall3rd Thanks Thomas! I appreciate it!
Doing something kind for others in the world today would be the best gift I could ask for!

Happy birthday @Yoystan I hope you have a blessed day. Thanks for all the work you do.
Is there anything fans can do to make your day special?

Happy Sunday, my friends! Today, we are exploring WHY the Lord of the Rings is named for the villain, Sauron, rather than the heroes or anything else! Let’s dive in!

🚨Prime Video is committed to complete all 5 seasons of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’.
Spin-offs are unlikely due to high production costs.

@Red52161 That is fair. It is also stated that they replicate in the manner of the Children of Eru, so that does give perhaps a bit more agency/life to them in a sense. Yet, they are clearly commanded by the greater and more evil force of Melkor and Sauron than by their own free will.
English

@Yoystan While I do agree this is several bridges too far, Orcs do seem to have a little more agency than a zombie or demon. For example Shagrat and Gorbag discuss the war, complain about their bosses, and share dreams of setting up their own independent, bandit-like operation.
English

@AngryMeow42 It is also suggested that Elves' spirits (fëar) could leave their bodies (hröar) after undergoing exceptional physical duress. I imagine the process of becoming an Orc would constitute that.
English

@AngryMeow42 Tolkien's version:
"by slow arts of cruelty were corrupted and enslaved; and thus did Melkor breed the hideous race of the Orcs in envy and mockery of the Elves, of whom they were afterwards the bitterest foes." -Silmarillion
