Tolkien Untangled
United Kingdom
Приєднався 12 лют 2020
Mae g'ovannen mellyn nin, a meneg suilaid (well met my friends, and a thousand greetings).
Welcome to Tolkien Untangled! I'm Rainbow Dave (before UA-cam I was a tie-dye instructor at a summer camp), and the purpose of this channel is to present and explain Tolkien's Legendarium in an accessible way. We'll be looking at the Silmarillion, the Unfinished Tales, and the Complete History of Middle Earth, while of course also drawing information from the much more familiar Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. Over the course of this channel's lifetime, I intend to go through the entire history of Middle-earth from the very beginning, through all three Ages, and eventually all the way to the end of all things.
So whether you're a superfan or a newbie, together we'll explore and untangle the spectacular awesomeness of Professor Tolkien's works!

20:06 BOOM💥 PLOT TWIST 😅 I really want to see this idea on a TV series. It has an of course better plot, right timeline but most important, this version respects Tolkien and the characters he created. I really enjoyed this video ❤ Very good job 🎉 Amazon, do you hear?
Is this cannon?
I adore your content. Glad your back. Thank you for all the time you put in 🏳️🌈
Beleg is the ultimate bravest best friend
You didn't bring up do Guldur or gunabad those are also orcs strongholds😊
"people" is plural already. there is no such thing as "peoples"
I can’t fall asleep if you keep putting loud noises as transitions!!!
It's cute to imagine a world in which we actually get good storytelling in tolkiens world again, I dream of the days we see the silmarillion on the big screen or at the very least an animated series but i know the stupid estate would never let that happen
I can’t stand the tone and intonation of these videos.
15:44 That depiction of Sauron is absolutely terrifying. Wtf.
Thank you for these explanations, it was very interesting. Unfortunately, I was lost after 19 min...all these names got mixted together...maybe keep the family tree on the screen throughout the video?
Roll your “r’s” a bit more. Not sure if the pronunciation is correct
Gandalf fell down into Blackreach
Someone should take your second age series & adapt it for a film!
Gandolf told us... "I am Saruman... Or rather Saruman as he should have been"! He was given Saruman power to replace him as he had fallen into dark thoughts and even darker desires.
This is the most epic series ever! thank you dave, your a legend among us Tolkien fans <3
Thanks very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
You love poetry, and I love it
if the velar weren't allowed to help the elves, how could them Ulmo help Tuor?
16:20 great idea for an animated show tbh
If Frodo was long gone by the time Sam traveled West then why would he have bothered going there? It feels a very empty ending for him. Would he not have wanted to remain in the Shire and be buried with his wife whom he adored? Of course Appendix B doesn't definitively state that Sam passed into the West only that the tale that he did was handed down by his descendents. However I think we can take it that Sam did go there but I just don't see any reason for hin doing so other than to be reunited with Frodo for at least some time.
This channel has become my favorite Tolkien lore channel
Glad you’re enjoying it!
Great video Dave. I just love following Tolkiens path where things change or come together for him. Great fun
So if Moria were founded in the age of starlight, before Melkor was overthrown, how did the Balrog get in un-noticed ?
Upon re-listening, I actually don't think it would be inconsistent with Gil-galad "the Golden" to inherit kingship instead of Galadriel. If we go with "the Dark," then there is a thematic consistency of birthright being taken into account, but ultimately, kingship would be yeilded to the one considered most worthy by his people. Thus, the kingship that should, by birthright, have passed to Fingon's very young son was instead given to Fingon's brother who, as you said, was the only Noldorin ruler who still had any semblance of a realm. If, however, we go with Gil-galad "the Golden," then birthright takes a heavier significance in who holds the kingship. If Gil-galad is not Fingon's son then Fingon died without issue and the kingship passed to his brother Turgon when Fingon's own line ended. Galadriel is the youngest child of the youngest child of High King Finwe, so Galadriel would be quite literally the last person to whom the birthright could be passed. The birthright would have passed to her older brother Angrod before it passed to her, but once Angrod had the birthright, his son would have prior claim over his sibling. Probably a greater contradiction that "the Golden" offers is that Elrond or Elros would also both technically have a prior claim to Gil-galad "the Golden" and were either passed over because they inherited the claim through their distaff side (which *would* confirm that women couldn't inherit) or because they were so young that Gil-galad was considered a better choice, which would contradict the importance of birthright even while simultaneously establishing the importance of birthright. In either case, I'm still Team Dark all the way. Perhaps Tolkien could have persuaded me over to Team Golden if he had lived long enough to flesh out and streamline their side a bit more.
Well done! The children of hurin was great as well.
Thanks!
Thanks Dave :)
As it is written, so shall it be done. sAURON could not have won, because Eru Illuvitar said so in the song of creation.BUT, I find myself drawing parallels between Mairon and dRUMPF. If I have a wish & I can wish it, please ERU ILLUVITAR, let us be free of this darkness
After defeating the Balrog his robes were so dirty that he: 1) Washed his robes, or 2) Bought new robes
Muchhh love here i have been replaying all the videos for the third time now ❤️❤️ waiting for playlist for the fall of gondolin and war of wrath
So the Elves ate Dwarf meat and used their bones and skin to make tools? Doesn't seem very Elf-like to just shoot an animal and leave it.
That was a great conclusion. Way to tie up those ends. 👏
An excellent video I’m late on commenting again…. Anyway if anyone is listening…. Remember when Aragorn and the guys are chasing the orcs across Rohan he says: The stars are faint; and I am weary as I have seldom been before, weary as no Ranger should be with a clear trail to follow. There is some will that lends speed to our foes and sets an unseen barrier before us: a weariness that is in the heart more than in the limb.’ I think this is the power of Sarumans ring and somehow the rings enhance your will or spirit so that you can dominate others and bend the fabric of reality itself if you are powerful enough.
Those symbols you used at the start of each part aren't the elvish numbers. Looks like you used a Dan Smith font but didn't look into how they encoded the symbols.
This video is so painful, it’s simply a fantastic interpretation of what could have been. I’ll never understand why they chose to dilute the story and characters in such a weird way. The tone is just all wrong, it stops the whole show from being engaging. With the sort of marketing they can pull for a LotR show, an engaging story and satisfying characters would have been a money printer. It’s a depressing parallel with the Halo tv show :/
While you are working on other projects I’m re watching all these thanks for great content
Hot take: Unlike Elrond, Sam has balls and would had killed Frodo should the need had presented itself.
Thank you, God be with you✝️🛐for you
Thanks very much!
I think Gandalf Transcended. At the end he wasn’t just a Maya, he was a Valar
We may aspire to be like the faithful of Numenor or the mighty of Gondor, but we're all lucky to be more like the brave Rohirrim. Honestly I imagined myself as a Rider of the Mark on my Harley when I was a young wild asshole, so...bias.
please continue your series comparing the movies and the books, its very good imo and i'd love to hear more
we need you to finish this series, its amazing
Silly Marillion, much?
Well, Dave, 3 years have passed, and your video still stands out among all the others. Much love.
Good video mate ive.read the books amd still enjoy a good video about them don't let the haters stop u from smashing it if u stopped wouldnt have a good youtuber doimg lord of the rings vids that i can listen to why im rollimg a joint
You lost me when you kept rolling the L’s. It was too annoying.
