Dark Lord Melkor (Morgoth) - Epic Character History (Part II)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มี.ค. 2018
- In the First Age of Tolkien’s works, Morgoth caused much war and strife against the Elves, Men and Dwarves. Before claiming domination over the earth, the Free-Peoples banded together for one last war of the age… Thank you all so much for your support! I’ll see you all next week with part two of Melkor’s history! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!

You know, I think of the stories of the First Age, and Beleriand, and often times think it is the most epic part of Tolkien's universe, but then I remember the events in the Second Age, with the Númenóreans and Melkor's Lieutenant, Sauron, then think of the Third Age, with the kingdoms of Gondor and Arnor, and remember that ALL of the timeline of Beleriand, Middle Earth, and the shaping of the world are so amazing. Tolkien no doubt created the most in depth, and absolutely epic fantasy universe of all time.
massaweed420 amen to that and the way he writes it based on his experiences in ww1 is just awesome and not to mention tolkains elvish language is now a recognised and studied language
Yeah, I was pretty stoked when I saw that about the languages he made! At one time about 10 years ago, I had learned a pretty decent chunk of Qenya and Sindarin languages, but I've forgotten most of it. It really added to the experience of reading his works though when you knew what the elvish names and such meant!
That's what's so amazing about fantasy, you have a personal relationship with it. We all see the world differently, yet the same and it reflects our individuality.
SANITYISFORTHEWEAK The series is called "A Song of Ice and Fire." I don't think writing it off as "it sucks" is a fair assessment of the series, which is currently unfinished. It is much more busy than LOTR and places it's focus more on interpersonal relationships and misdirection than simply telling the story. They are only similar in that they are fantasy, the format of the story is vastly different.
SANITYISFORTHEWEAK I'm getting the feeling that you're basing your assumption off of the television show and that you haven't actually read the novels.
“These dragons ain’t scary nuff! Let’s give’m wings!” -Melkor
and AXE TAILS!
That is exactly what i said how do you know
Dragons already have wings
What a dick.
Charlie Bowen in the beginning they were wingless along with the fell creatures. Improvements were done centuries later.
I cant believe only one person wrote this much in depth lore and storytelling
Dude i am not even a fan nor have i read any of the books. After watching your videos and work, i am now.. Thanks
You will not regret the hours and days seeped in the world of Middle Earth.
Welcome fellow pilgrim. You will not be disappointed. That is a promise.
Excellent books. You'll love them.
The hobbit us a good book to start your journey and can easily be read in a day or two.
Read the books. You can't call yourself a fan if all you've seen are videos and movies, that barely even counts.
Damn Tolkien was extraordinary. There are writers who have written more but the detail and scope of his work is astonishing.
Hurin was a magnificent man, he rallied dwarves, elves and men together for the first time to battle evil. That would make an excellent movie
I clicked on this faster than Morgoth can beat a mortal man
Beleriand in ruins
"The damage is not too bad. As long as the foundations are still strong, we can rebuild this place. It will become the fairest land in all of Arda and a haven for all Children of Illuvatar."
Beleriand sinks into the ocean
"Oh, now those foundations are gone. Sorry."
Thor 3 after Asgard is destroyed.
Star wars alderan planet lol
Surtur looks like a Balrog lmao
@@tylersoto7465 Too soon bro.
These are terrific. Seriously. I just turned 50 and have been a enjoying Tolkien’s Expanded Universe since I was 8, which is when I first cracked “Fellowship”.(I read the “Hobbit” last because I’d seen the animated movie back in the day and knew the story well. In fact, out of everything put on screen from Tolkien’s works, “The Hobbit” is, BY FAR, the most true to Tolkien’s original work. “The Silmarillion” is my favorite novel of any kind in my entire life. A single chapter of “The Silmarillion” is as epic as the entire “Lord of the Rings” saga, imho. I’m grateful for the content. It’s a different way to renew my acquaintances with the entire body of work. I know every word Tolkien wrote by heart, and my imagination has done a fine job over the years, of bringing the Tolkien-verse to life for me.
Melkor is one of best character in Tolkien universe
Yes and really kind
No I am the best character of all fiction
Bilbo
@@Morgoth1889 yog-sothoth begs to differ.
@@Morgoth1889 Aye! Curse you black foe of the world!
In the video I said the kingship of Gondolin passed from Fingon to Turgon, but I meant the High Kingship of the Ñoldor passed, as Turgon had established Gondolin. Another small correction: the Door of Night is on the west side of the world, not the east. Thank you to Jeb Payne and
contemporary countertenor for pointing those out, and my apologies for the error!
Men of the West didn’t even know there was an error.... I just got here.
Mae Govannen Mellon Ná alya i vinya loa! Yoystan
Hm, I did ponder that, but as I was busy while watching the video, I let it go. Nothing’s perfect, by as I already said, fantastic video.
One of my absolute favorite duels in middle earth has to be when Fingolfin challenged Melkor to a duel and had him second-guessing, that’s absolutely badass. And Melkors wounds never fully healed
I was about to correct this but you already did! Lol
Methinks that Morgoth's fight with Fingolfin would be an EPIC boss fight.
Awesome final part of the Melkor Character History Yoystan! I am really hyped for another one! :)
I again clicked with no hesitation, the last one was one of my favorite video of yours. Thank you for all you do for us viewers
I just realized that they named the ram from the return of the king after the mace, Grond.
Thank you for such a complete and thrilling essay, Filgolifin is my favourite character of middle earth and the first time I read the passage concerning his duel with Morgoth I was amazed at how evocative Tolkien’s writing is. Again, great job. Dean
You should make a video on why Hobbits have so many meals. 😁
Moonbeam "What about Secend Brekfast?"..lol
Mmm second breakfast sounds good
I mean, have you had food? It's pretty great. The Hobbits are a people of comfort, and eating often is comfortable.
It goes straight to their feet.
I want a video on foods of middle earth
So in the end... Morgoth was disfigured and and a cripple.
He might even have been fat shamed. Poor fellow.
Haha
Like Vader?
That German Guy mostly thanks to fingolfin, the most badass elf in middle earth
And greatly weakened because he had infused much of his native power into Arda like Sauron had put his power into the Ring.
"I wrote myself into a corner and cant figure out a way to keep this character alive, screw it, Ill just use the eagles again." -Tolkien
He activated his trap card lol
Hehe - he does use those eagles quite a bit...
this channel made a video, why this particular comment is bullshit :)
How about no.
Not intelligent enough to understand the role of the eagles... they are in no way a get out clause... read the books
favorite channel keep doing what you are doing, glad to see an community of tolkien geeks :) just finished reading the similarion for the 5th time and ive prob read LOTR that much along with unfinished tales, tom b, and everything else, thanks Yostan !
Also, was waiting with anticipation for this one lol Your ending statements of these videos are always the best part. This is perhaps my favorite channel on youtube, here's to many more years of amazing videos!
I love how you always try to with how from Tolkien's world we can learn how live better in our world! It is very inspiring! Thank you!
You sir...have brought much insight into a world I loved but barely understood. thank you SO MUCH . Subscribed....this two part series demanded no less
I had been waiting all week for the second part to melkor
Great video. Morgoth truly is the embodiment of evil and sin. Also I love that song you use at the end of every video, I always look forward to hearing it
This is some of the most intriguing shit I’ve ever listened to. I always loved the LOTR movies, but I never knew just HOW much I loved this world and it’s lore until I started watching these videos.
It’s unbelievable how incredible this world is Tolkien has created. And it’s awesome to see channels like this explaining the vastness of it.
Great video - thank you ever so much. You may know, of course, that character analyses of both Melkor (a.k.a Morgoth) are to be found in ‘Morgoth’s Ring’ - another great posthumous work by Tolkien, also containing material on Galadriel, and other heroes of the Second Age, plus ‘ethnographic’ sketches of the Elves,
This is awesome man, thank you for taking the effort to make these videos :D Love it.
As always, thank you so much for the amazing video! I really enjoy listening to Tolkien's work through your voice.
I would love a video about Elrond and Elros, I think that we don't get too much information about the too brothers, and in total of Earendil's lineage...
Love the character backgrounds given in the Silmarilion! And Morgoth/Melkor is probably one of the best evil characters made 😁👍
Fantastic video, Yoystan! Thanks so much for all of your great work. Here's an idea for next week: party songs in Tolkien's works. I find them really funny
I just discoverd your channel and i must say i really like it allot. Your way of speaking and telling the stories makes it even better.
Being a fan of lotr i find the extended world aroumd it really intresting. I drive alot for work so this keeps me entertained.
Thank you for taking your time and making these videos so good.
I don't comment on videos much, but I have to for this channel. I love your videos. I think I've watched through it all a few times when I've had a rough day. I wasn't even a huge LoTR fan until I watched these videos and learned the lore. Now I'm reading the books. Appreciate your hard work keep it up.
DAMN DUDE I love this, everything to do with melkor is amazing. I would love to see melkor and all his evil come to the big screens. Just picturing the pits with all the evil creations and torture with balrogs being the guards DAMN that would be awesome to watch!!!
Great video!
How about a epic character history of Bandobras Took - the inventor of golf :)
I wouldn't mind learning some more about famous hobbits
love how he links every single thing. makes it so easy to follow
I hope you all had reflective Palm Sunday, and happy March 25th! I love your channel, man, keep up the awesome work
Mae Govannen Mellon Ná alya i vinya loa!
another great video, and a happy new year! Morgoth is SUCH a great villain!
fun video.....maybe 'what if Tom Bombadil had wielded the Ring'?
That was just awesome and epic. I have read Silmarillion twice as a youngster and I stll remember these things.
I always liked Fingolfin. Such a badass.
I have always been a huge Tolkien lover and first read TLOTR when I was 11 and have read them many times since. Only recently getting into all his other works though, like the silmarillion and beren and luthien. So these videos r so helpful for me. Thanks so much
Always love these lore videos of yours. Very well put together and always keep my love of Tolkien satisfied.
Hmmm... fun suggestions... it's April Fool's and Easter on the same day... how about a what-if scenario, "what if Gollum had tried some of Sam's rabbit stew?" Realistically it wouldn't have really changed anything, but if you wanted to get ridiculous, I've seen what-if's on things like "what if Anakin liked sand?" that went really crazy.
This is very good! Appreciate the morale of these stories. Good job explaining.
Thanks for all the work you put in for these videos!
Your channel is awesome man all videos I have watched and want to know much more keep it up hopefully we can know about gondolin best channel on TH-cam
Well done my friend, what a great cartoon series these stories would make imagine all the episodes it would take to complete the tales, it would be beyond great...
These videos have made The Silmarillion a lot easier to digest, as I did give up when it turned into miles of family trees...
Brilliant upload mate.. Love the Silmarillion Its so under-read and under not very well understood by many readers... excellent breakdown. well done
Beautiful video history of the rise and fall of Morgoth the Dark Lord! A suggestion for a light topic could be a biography of Goldberry! I know there's a lot of discussion about Tom Bombadil but there's not a lot of Review on Goldberry by her self. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts about what she was. (Was she a Maiar or Elf?) Was she another type of spirit? I would also love your thoughts on her history and how her fate is connected to Bombadil and the natural world of Arda! Just a suggestion! Love this Channel! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year.
Loved the Melcor bio.
History of the Shire sounds like a good April fool's episode.
Another great video thanks!keep up the good work
Mwaha! 49, the square of 7! Saw this, immediately played. Yet again, another fantastic video. Keep it up...as I’m sure you will.
Do you suppose Thorondor is the avatar of Manwe himself? I remember reading the Silmarillion and wondering this, and if it was through a direct avatar that Manwe assisted the Free-People, which might mean he never truly abandoned them. Sorry for the weird thought, it just occurred to me as I listened to this, and Thorondor's role in saving Fingolfin's body.
Loved part 2! I always wondered about a comparison of lord of the rings characters to real life heroes and events.
Dude your channel is my "history channel", love your videos, keep up the good work :)
But history Channel only does aliens lol
Hey, I actually caught the posting of the video this time! Maybe third time's the charm for you to see my suggestions?
1. What if the Witch King noticed Sam and Frodo at Minas Morgul?
2. What if Durin's Bane had won its fight with Gandalf atop Zirakzigil and survived?
3. What if Ungoliant had managed to consume the Silmarils before the Balrogs could reach her?
Edit: I know these don't really fit the request for a light-hearted video, but maybe for later. As for next week... I dunno... What if all peoples of Arda adopted the meals of the Hobbits?
Thank you for laying all this out! I've tried a few times to read the sillmarillion but I never quite made it to the part where melkor is finally defeated and I always wondered what happened to him
Great work buddy....i was anticipating that this video would be awesome...and it was.
So glad Turin kills Morgoth in the Final battle, getting revenge for his family and all the free peoples of middle earth. Tolkein made Men noticeably flawed but they do great deeds that change the world killing dragons, fighting/killing morgoth, sacrificing themselves for elves etc.
Jeb Payne I think you are mistaken Turin doesn't kill Morgoth the Valar do that
Eru Illuvatar nope, i mean many ages after that. Morgoth returns to the world raises his armies again and all free peoples with the ainur return to fight in Dagor Dagorath and Turin kills Morgoth. It is prophesied in the Second prophecy of Mandos. Here is a video Men of the West did on it. th-cam.com/video/gmcEt5FSXrQ/w-d-xo.html
Jeb Payne with the black sword anglachel if I'm not mistaken 😍😎
Nate Dawg yes but he reforged it and called it Gorthang which means "Iron of Death"
Jeb Payne true that's right only there was some never a da dagor dagorath...but who is prophecied to kill sauron😞
Yes!

"Lord of all Noldor
A star in the night
And a bearer of hope
He rides into his glorious battle alone
Farewell to the valiant warlord"
Excellent LOTR videos, good work & thx!!
Happy Middle-earthian New Year, Yoystan!
Thank you, you too!
Men of the West :)
Mae Govannen Mellon Ná alya i vinya loa!
New Year on my defeat...
Really cool video, looking forward to more
Wonderful as usual. Thank you!
Great Video as always ... could you do a video with the powers and abilities of all greater characters (Sauron Saruman Gandalf etc...)
Good video Yoystan keep doing great videos.
I thought it was very clever that Gondolin was right in Melkors backyard.
Another fascinating rendition - thank you! For your April Fool video - how about Hobbit parties or Beer, Food and Pipeweed :D
Ooohhh yas. Been waiting all week for this!
That was very well done, Sir. I enjoyed that, for my part. Happier subjects, hmm... I don't know, off the top of my head... Perhaps a cultural history of some kind? You feel free to pick which one, of course... I wonder if anyone's done anything along the lines of "Culinary History of Middle Earth"?
That's what we are talking about! Amazing video man!
This was great, good job!
Wow. Great video man. Just amaze.
Brilliant video as ever
Nice work dude thanks
Thank you for another great video
Will you do a Eol the dark elf epic charater history?
Gamer Core yes that would be awesome!
Yessss that would be sick
That story could be movie by itself!
Would be cool. He's the creepiest character in the legendarium imo
Love Your videos, thanks for sharing
Little wee correction: the Door of Night is actually in Valinor - you circled the Eastern door where the sun rises.
Edit: I forgot to mention that your videos are awesome, and I appreciate the dedication to detail in the script.
Excellent video. For something more lighthearted, I would love for you to do a video about the Three Farthing Stone and other unique structures or areas of the Shire. Maybe one about The Shire before Hobbits or one specifically about how the Hobbits colonized The Shire.
Yes I would love to see a video about hobbits colonizing shire etc and maybe if men colonized Rivendale and other abandoned elf cities etc
Yes I would love to see a video about hobbits colonizing shire etc and maybe if men colonized Rivendale and other abandoned elf cities etc
That last minute of video makes me want to preach your words.....Serious!
Thanks so much yostan! We are set for this week. Your video on a Monday and all is green in our shire. Melkor is probably the template for most other 'villans' if not all. How about a fun video on long bottom leaf or green Dragon or the songs in it?
Happy Reunited New year mate! Love your videos.
Køltira Memeweaver Mae Govannen Mellon Ná alya i vinya loa!
I dig you're positive outlook!
This video was so much better than i thought it could be, i mean i know alot about melkor but i dont always notice the meaning behind things that occur or the bigger picture.
I can only imagine the grandeur and chaos of the first age fights truly the darkest times of middle earth history
Like so many... episodes involving history of a fictional universe, I would need to study this material many, MANY times before I could fully comprehend it as I failed to fully comprehend the names of the characters involved, lol. Still, VERY nice work. You've clearly done your homework involving research.
Why is this not a movie!!! Sounds like so much story left to tell!
Great videos, thank you for the work and dedication you put on this incredible body of work; it shows; consider me subscribed!
Thanks for the info, really enjoyed it :)
Honestly these ancient elves were fearless 😳💪
And Happy New Year to you, too!
Not sure you did an Elrond character history, but his is also long and intertwined with both elves and men it will be nice
Nice informational video
Great video.
Wow the last 5 mins were deep man ☮️
How cool would it be for this week to have a selection of stories on lesser known hobbits and their adventures in middle earth? I think that would brighten up the pace for a week!
I'd like to think that when Melkor was sent through the door of night that he began some angry rant about "I am Melkor! I will return! Rarr rarr rarr!", and someone (one of the Valar perhaps) was like "SHUUUUT UUUP!" and "this is Sparta" kicked him, in his chest, through the door... Maybe followed with a toilet flushing sound as he disappears into the void.
Melkor is a very awesome villain would love to see him in future movies
Wonderful video! Seeing the full history of Morgoth in just a couple of videos is a real treat. Hopefully the upcoming TV series (assuming it's about the Silmarillion) will do his craven evil justice.
Now, April Fools...perhaps you could do a video about the All-New, Recently Discovered! Full Version of the Sequel To the Lord of the Rings, Wherein Goldilocks Gamgee Finds the One Fork in her Ancient Silverware Drawer and Becomes the New Dark Lord? (Abbreviated as ANRDFVSTLOTRWGGFOFASDBNDL)
I don't know, some sort of ridiculous fan-fiction (poorly disguised as actual lore) could be fun...
