In my previous video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMXe8EwXsf0) I addressed the question of whether Sam made the right decision to leave Frodo and take the Ring in an attempt to reach Mount Doom alone. That raises the follow-up question: what would have happened if he chose differently? It turns out this also creates a new angle on the original questionā¦.

A viewer sent me an email asking this question, and itās certainly one worth exploring. There are lots of issues that come up, such as the nature of Samās decision, the role of faith and providence, and the source of Samās conviction that he should never leave his master.

A viewer left a question in the comments section: What did Gandalf mean when he told Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli that none of them had any weapon that could hurt him? Letās explore that question and see what we can come up with.

I donāt think anyone would argue that Rockadoodle was a cinematic masterpiece, even by childrenās movie standards, but oddly enough it does have some interesting intersections with Tolkienās Middle-earth.

Sauronās history is one of multiple defeats and even destructions of his physical body, and each time itās harder for him to come back and assume his mantle as Dark Lord. Why is that? Letās see what Tolkien has to say about it.

Business Insider had a whole troop of warfare experts critique scenes from Peter Jacksonās Lord of the Rings films (and Rings of Power but who cares about thatā¦), and some of it is useful fodder for a deeper look, so letās critique the critics!

Following up my video from last week for Tolkien Reading Day, I thought I would take a closer look at another strange fact about eh Fellowship: Almost none of them are actually there to go to Mordor! Seems bizarre, but itās not when you look at it through Tolkienās lense.

Despite the first volume of The Lord of the Rings being named āThe Fellowship of the Ring,ā the word fellowship actually barely appears in that volume, and only in its final chapter. Why was the group called the āCompanyā for so long, and how and why did it become the āFellowship?ā

Tolkien changed a lot of material in his legendarium over the years, but late in life he almost scrapped the entire cosmology to fit with real world history. Why did he go down this road, and what are some ofthe implications?

One thing that becomes clear with enough time spent in Middle-earth is that Eru can work with anything you throw at him. That includes Boromir taking Faramirās spot in Rivendell.

In response to my video on how Jacksonās Lord of the Rings trilogy managed to win the loyalty of many book fans despite its many changes from the source material, I received a number of comments explaining how his changes were necessitated by the adaptation of a book to a movie. But does that excuse really hold water? I donāt think so.
For my video on how Jacksonās trilogy got so much support from fans, which started this whole discussion, click here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLdAKdYd7sY

A while back I got an email from a viewer arguing that Gandalf was, to put it politely, a little slow when it comes to making sure Frodo got started on his quest. But just how big a mistake was that, really?

In response to my video about the character flaws of Tolkienās heroes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAn8r-kqD4c),a few people commented that Gandalfās real issue was the fact that he basically threw other people into dangerous situations to achieve his own ends. Turns out, thatās really not true.

Last time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLdAKdYd7sY) I talked about why Jacksonās films were so impressive despite messing up a huge amount of the details of the story and characters. But despite being (pretty objectively, I think) the best Tolkien films by purely cinematic standards, there are other films that have their own merits, and hereās why you should watch them if you havenāt already.

Peter Jacksonās Lord of the Rings trilogy are great cinema, thereās no denying that. But as adaptations they leave a lot to be desired. Why is it, then, that so many book fans still think of his movies as successful adaptations?

A common critique of Tolkien is that there is no moral greyness, that every character is totally good or totally bad. If you pay even a little attention, though, itās clear that this just isnāt true. All Tolkienās heroes are imperfectly good at best, and have pretty significant character flaws.

There are a number of Christian themes in Tolkien's Middle-earth corpus, but one of the most prominent is the virtue of humility and the sin of pride. Let's take a good look at some examples of each.
