I remember being startstruck and in absolute awe of the Witch-King during his first appearance in the movies back when I was a kid.
I hadn't read the books before watching the movies, this moment will forever be graved in my mind.
By far one of my favourite characters in all of Tolkien's universe, only Feanor and Melkor being above him in my list.
He is such an awesome character! 💚
Sure is ! They were my favorite evils back when I read the books way before the films but the films really did an amazing job. I see them as in the films now not as originally imagined so i don't know what that says about my imagination or maybe they were just damn well crafted !
I actually like that we never get an answer as to who the Witch King once was. It adds such mystery and threat to him, especially in a series with such a detailed history. This gap in our knowledge and who we imagine he might have been, especially considering he was likely the most ambitious and cruel of the great men given a Ring of Power.
The mystery is always a great thing!
Tolkien was good about leaving hints and gaps so the reader can fill them in using their own imagination.
The Witch King is my favorite character of all Tolkien's. There's so much depth to him but also so much mystery. Who was he really? Why did he get so powerful? Such a great character. My entire left arm is dedicated to his badassness in tattoo form. 👑
Even though we dont know who the witch king is, we can assume he was one the kings men faction of numenor.
Faction is a strong word. But your not incorrect, take your thumbs up sir! Lol
At least as far as i can tell your not incorrect, it could come out in a future book about his backstory however its hard to imagine just who the original witch king was in tolkiens mind, im sure had he had the time before his passing we would have a more complete story.
He's name bob
Indeed, he was as one would say; A Black Numenoren Sorcerer Lord turned into a wraith...
@@benelby3480
Bob the breaker?
Even if a duel took place between the Eanur and the Witch-king, kill a Nazgûl is a complicated task. Why? Well, in the fellowship of the ring, the flood of Bruinen (with the use of Elrond's ring and Gandalf 'magic') didnt destroy the 8 Nazgûl. Only the Horses.
The shot of Legolas' bow at Anduin river killed the fellbeast and the Nazgûl fell from a high height, and he didnt die.
I think that only "magical" or special weapons could harm the Nazgûl. There is a quote from Gandalf about this matter:
"But Saruman has long studied the arts of the Enemy himself, and thus we have often been able to forestall him. It was by the devices of Saruman that we drove him from Dol Guldur. It might be that he had found >some weapons that would drive back the Nine".
And even the destruction of the Witch-king in the fight against Éowyn has a whole ambiguous charge similar to the fall of Shakespeare's Macbeth. That is, in Shakespeare's work, no man born of a woman could defeat the character (and a man "born" by a caesarean defeated him). In Tolkien, a Hobbit wielding (against many odds) an "enchanted" sword broke a Nazgûl's "protection spell" for Éowyn (a woman) to deliver the final blow.
These journeys are one of the best videos on the channel! For me Witch King is far more creepy and far more scary than Sauron in some elements, although he was defeated, he crushed Northern kingdom, Line of the King was broken by his hand, he caused more trouble to Middleearth than any other villian, except Sauron and Morgoth!
James once again great and interesting video!
Thank you as always 😁😁
I LOVE this type of video, particularly the journeys of notable characters, please do many more, good or evil i dont mind, they are my favourite
I loved it. Such a terrifying and mysterious character laid bare, revealed to be a failure
I really liked this format. I sometimes have trouble visualising your other videos when it's just dialogue with fan art, but the map really helped put things in context here. Thank-you :)
I'm no man is my favorite ending for any character ever!
I love these types of videos. Please do as many as you can😍
Thanks 😁
Your videos are always a joy to watch, keep up the great content! :D
Thank you so much! 😁
I love this style of video. You do an amazing job making compelling and informative videos that are easy to understand. Please keep them coming.
Thank you so much!
I definitely like these kinds of videos for the Villains more bc the good guys often have their stories covered In-story
Love rewatching your vids because of the ambience soundtrack as well.
I'll be glad to follow the journey of any LOTR character
love this type, do more!!!
I really like the guitar playing during the outro
I have liked everything you have made videos about so far!!! Keep them all up sir!
Love your vídeos. Im from brazil and they helped me practise my english :)
Thank you! I’m glad they can help in any way possible :)
He has a badass helm. You left that out
Very well done sir! ❤
Thank you kindly!
Love these
Keep it up!!
Honestly, I've said this before.
I used to think I was a smart LOTR guy. Had the books, read them, watched the movies..
Hell, I even played LOTRO.
But, I'm at the shallow end of the smart pool.
I liked this video a lot. So, my suggestion?
You pick. Pick anyone. From any age. I'll watch.
He's one smart ghoulish cookie, considering the level of strategy it took to erode and defeat all the different kingdoms.
If that was present as a human that guy must have been a hero of his time. Ruling many lands most likely. And in addition being a sorcerer possibly aswell, if that wasn't his rings doing. A hero, till he fell of course. Tragic really.
Excellent. Thx.
😁
do some more about some of the more obscure characters. but all you videos are awesome
Very nice intro with the three illustrations.
Thank you 😁
I like these style videos
Thank you for the complete story! Very captivating telling. I think it would be more challenging but interesting nonetheless to listen to the full story of Saruman.
Excellent work Mellon! He's a hell of a strategic general at times. Then he ran into Glorfindel, shit his armor a little bit, then rode off like a cry baby. Show the journeys of Beren and Luthien
Great video! Could really use a static or dynamic timeline in a margin or as a ticker across the bottom to provide bearing, but I'm a sucker for well crafted timelines so could just be my personal preference talking.
Look forward to the next one!
Good video
I love the video style, and I would love to see Elrond's path.
Gil-galad, Galadriel, Elrond, Aragorn, Isildur, Elendil, Earendil, those should be interesting.
The journey videos are great. would love to see one on halbarad.
I think that Arvedui's death is a proof for a question for many fans of LOTR about the powers and abilities of Sauron and if he could control the weather for his purposes.
"Do not mount on this sea-monster! If they have them, let the seamen bring us food and other things that we need, and you may stay here till the Witch-king goes home. For in summer his power wanes; but now his breath is deadly, and his cold arm is long."
And:
"But Arvedui did not take his counsel. He thanked him, and at parting gave him his ring [the Ring of Barahir], saying: 'This is a ring of worth beyond your reckoning. For its ancientry alone. It has no power, save the esteem in which those hold it who love my house. It will not help you, but if ever you are in need, my kin will ransom it with great store of all that you desire."
The final proof is the great storm at Emyn Muil controled by Sauron:
" The skirts of the storm were lifting, ragged and wet, and the main battle had passed to spread its great wings over the Emyn Muil, upon which the dark thought of Sauron brooded for a while. Thence it turned, smiting the Vale of Anduin with hail and lightning, and casting its shadow upon Minas Tirith with threat of war. Then, lowering in the mountains, and gathering its great spires, it rolled on slowly over Gondor and the skirts of Rohan, until far away the Riders on the plain saw its black towers moving behind the sun, as they rode into the West"
awesome cool vid James you should do a weekly series of them say one good one then one evil
Thank you 😁
Which King was the Witch-king? The outro was amazing. I laughed so hard when I noticed the country guitars contrast to the theme of the lore. Such a happy ending we will remember the Witch-king fondly.
I love the video and the format lines up perfectly with how Tolkien tells his stories. Although there are a number of character histories out there, I would love to see this format applied to a geographic area, such as The Shire. When did it first come to be? What are the major epochs of this Hobbit home? What changes happened throughout the ages, including after the LoTR?
What-if video idea for you to do:
What if Gandalf never fell at the Bridge of Khazad-dum and continued with the fellowship to Lothlorien and on forward?
I have theory about the Morgul blade that the witch king has. What if the morgul blade was originally owned by Beren and it was the same the dagger that cut the Silmarllion from Melkor crown. Then Melkor in anger take the broke dagger for what it did. He then re-forged it to corrupt the dagger and made it into the Morgul blade. Then it was lost in the final battle where he was captured. His second lieutenant Sauron found the Morgul blade and had it, but didn't use it until the second age. He then passed it on to the Witch King. Even at Weathertop Aragorn sings about Beren and Luthien. It only makes sense that the dagger that they use in the story should come back. Continuing that then Frodo is stabbed in the chest by the very blade that Beren once used. Frodo is ultimately healed by the same plant that healed Beren.
What other properties does the one ring have? We only witness the "invisibility" effect when Bilbo and Frodo wear the ring, and we know of the lore of the one ring's control of the other rings Sauron created to corrupt the humans and dwarves. Did Sauron become "invisible" when he wore the ring? What else is known about its powers?
I was wondering what you think of in the Unfinished Tales Volume 9, Originally he was The Wizard-King of Numanor of the Istari who was a Maiar of Gandalf & the other 4. He then later became the Witch King in the final version as a man who takes a ring. But he does face Gandalf in Minas Tirith but Rohan arrives in time.
I would love to see the journey of Turin.
make a video about mordor i think a lot of people would like to see a video about mordor
I find certain parallel's between the Witch King and Shakespeare's MacBeth, in how both characters think their invincible due to prophecy, but certain loopholes in each (ie. MacDuff being born by C-Section and Durnhelm turning out to be Eowyn) result in their respective downfalls.
Being a Fan of Variety of course it goes with out say I would Like a Little Bit of Varity, and who knows maybe you could Randomize and Mix it up from time to time.
I wants all the knowledges!!
0:00 - 0:11 *WINNING!!!!!*
I like this style of video. I prefer villains.
Love this video and your great channel. The image of the Nazgûl is in my memory since I saw The Lord of the Rings Animation by Ralph Bakshi (1978). I am curious to know the real names and origin story of each Nazgûl… Regards 🇶🇦
Full journeys of Beren!
If the Witch King would have gained possession of the one ring would he have kept it for himself or given it to Sauron?
He was once great king of men, then he became ringwraith, he was forced to leave his realm by elven warrior Glorfindel, after some years he again met Glorfindel and after all this he was killed by woman.
This is really ill fortune.
Maybe the history of Durin the Deathless?
I would love to see the journey of the Balrogs
Not very interesting, they're mostly sleeping. 😝
Can you make one of when the witch king was man to his fall when buried in the tomb so dark it will never come to light...
I'm a little confused, when merry stabbed him, that killed him killed him? As in sauron couldn't bring him back again?
May be in the minority here, but the Witch-King has always been my favorite Tolkien villain. I know he’s a slave to Sauron, but his dismantling of Arnor(or its three offshoot kingdoms) was beautiful. Truly, he was one women/hobbit away from being the 3rd dark lord🥲
What of the prison in the high fells? Was that movie only or weren't the 9 imprisoned after angmar?
“Those who used the Nine Rings BECAME mighty in their day, kings, sorcerers, and warriors of old.”
Does that mean they were not necessarily nine kings of men that were given the rings?
Yeah not all of them were kings.
hello I sent you a message through Facebook on my theory on the witch king I thought it would be a good video idea
obviously youse are super busy I understand the wait
I want a movie made called Predator vs Nazgûl. Who do you think would win?
Honor thy Villains, for without them, Heroes are kinda useless.
Ahh do whatever you want to do. I'll most likely watch it anyway.
The Great Took. What do we know about him?
*Fool of a took*
*Journeys :)
Video 143
Great video, even though I think the death of the Witch King by a woman is a bit of a stretch because she was of the race of Men. Yes he got stabbed by Merry, but it still annoys me how he died. But still my 2nd favorite character.
As for other Journey vids, Gollum first sprang to mind.
Dude, narrator is awesome but he can't pronounce Elves!
I rather hear about one that didn't get killed by a girl,... because it would never happen but it's not my story...but I much rather hear the story about the ones that weren't killed by a soft school girl....
What about the journey of Joe...... Joe mama
Please don't capitalize articles and prepositions in your titles. It drives me crazy 😅
Wow just totally ripped off Nerd of the Rings format... leaving this channel.
