Ian McKellen and Christopher Lee's roles as Gandalf and Saruman were so incredibly good they have become synonymous to the characters. So much so that even the AI understands it.
They were fucking perfect
@@Andy-dh2sv Yep, impossible to find better actors for those roles.
You know what i liked the most? Uploader/maker didn't just leave the presentation at Picture/names only. The information which is given both at the beginning and with each visual made it so much better. Informative for who haven't read it yet and memory refreshing for those who already did.
Spot on! I am a big fan of Tolkien, and of course I know much more then it is written. But I still enjoyed reading every single sentence!
The vid might need some quotes on physical details.
@@masicb tolkien fan who is your favorite valar?
Saruman didn't want to be Sauron's lieutenant, he wanted to take his place. He made the Uruk Hai as his own and told them to find the halflings and bring them to him alive so he could claim the ring and overthrow Sauron. He never told Sauron that he knew where the ring was.
Frodo:why do you pray to Varda and not Manwë?
Elrond:we did at first,his response to everything was to send his eagles so we stopped trying
Very funny.
Don't the elves pray to the other valar?
@@leeannproctor47 they do, but Elbereth or Varda is the one the reach out to the most, because the elves love stars above anything else.
The wizard's interpretation was spot on awesome. Loved how Saruman had Orthanc and birds in the backround.
i think you missed the two blue wizards :) but this was great!

"Aule Origin Story" - with Jason Momoa in a leading role!
I love it, it very beautiful.
👏🔥👁🔥
I'm impressed. I could definitely see each of those as being who they're supposed to be. Excellent job.
Damn Ilúvatar looks badass. I'm a believer now. o.O
This is the most interesting interpretation of Mandos I've ever seen.
just bald like Professor X?
Falto Alatar, Palando, Melian, Eonwë y Thurigwethil
Amazing video man keep it up!
Idk about you all but i really love those Balrogs.
A Elbereth Gilthoniel...
Varda
I liked her jewelry.
Amazing work! I loved it❤
Nessa looks like rose mciver.
I think Eru is so far off but the rest are close
Magnifique
What?! No Eonwe? Osse? :(
But great job. Also, what music was this? It’s awesome.
Ancient Fathers by Kyle Preston, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I approve of this great work.
The music is so great and ominous! It reminds me of how terrifying it must have been for Maeglin to stand before Morgoth. And how fearful we were for Huron when he did the same. Tolkien communicated the terror of Morgoth’s presence so well that when you read the silmarilion you can almost clearly imagine how terrible it must be to be near him let alone speak to him
I hate bald mandos.
Manwë lookin like Mr. Clean with long hair
i see it almost once a day . this is incredible
Sauron looks like a menacing matthew goode.
Well that was bloody awesome! I salute you.
A job well done .
Why was Melian, Osse and Unien not in this?
Arien, Tillion, Morinehtar, Pallando, Ilmare, Eonwë? Where are you?
Nice job, but where is Melian?
Love what you did with the Balrogs. Would have loved to see this implemented in the adaptations.
But why the stereotypical horns that Tolkien never mentioned?
So cool
I always think that the Valar and Maiar are not human at all, unless they wear a body to be physically in Arda, like Morgoth, Sauron, Melian and the Istari.
I suspect that the idea was to show the physical forms of these characters.
Ulmo looks sort of serpentine.
They aren't, but they shift into humanoid forms to sit on their physical thrones.
Ilύvatar is neither a Vala nor a Maia. Still cool picture though.
he is the one
Looks more like dungeons & dragons concept of deities but nice work. Mandos and Sauron are my favourites.
dnd was inspired by lord of the rings so it make sense
Melian? 😔
Someone should do a segment on the maiar?
Manwe - Valar of doing nothing.
what about egles?)
@@MegaMitrandir If he didn't fly himself to whip Morgoth behind it doesn't count much.
Yeah all he did was nothing lol
Eru's will chose Manwë for loyalty over peace.
@@anarion211983напомню что из-за выпущенной силы в конце войны гнева затонул Белерианд, а там сражались только майр, эльфы и люди, если бы Манвэ выпустил всю свою силу там бы и Средиземью хана бы пришла, так что не совсем понимаю это утверждение, Манвэ понимал, что не может на полную махаться с Мелькором не уничтожив Средиземье, а может и А'рду в целом, к тому же Моргот был настолько ослаблен, что его бы и Эонвэ взял бы под стражу, слишком детское утверждение
Nice work, I would like to see some of the other inhabitants of Middle Earth, maybe the Nazgul and Hobbits, the Ents as well.
More tolkien 🙏
Nice.
Only in the movies Saruman wanted to serve Sauron…. In the books he wanted to replace Sauron as the ruler of Middle Earth.
Well yeah but he did still serve Sauron in the books, even if it was not his end goal. In both the books and the movies he rebelled by trying to bring the ring to orthanc instead of mordor
Eonwë?
Awesome video but i gotta ask, what is this music, its godlike!
Ancient Fathers by Kyle Preston. Thanks for watching!
Bet sauron didn't look so good when frodo came along.
More about lotr
What ai generation you use ? These are awsome
Midjourney
The Balrogs are vicious looking which is how I imagined them to be.
Damn...what is that music 😮🤩

@@NeoArtiStudios Thank you so much, I appreciate you letting me know. Killer video, by the way. Subbed.
_EDIT_
I was #100, hell yeah)
@@Tauramehtar You're very welcome. My pleasure.
In their true form ainur maiar and valar are all beautiful and bright like a shining diamond they are angelic beings of god eru iluvatar after all
I find nienna and vana total knockouts.
Este looks like sleeping beauty.
Epic. Although ill admit i was hoping to see Ungoliant. I know shes not vala or maia.
Actually, Ungoliant is classified as a Maia, one of many, like the Balrogs and Sauron, corrupted by Melkor long before Arda was made.
@@williamking3301 no, Ungoliant is a being as old as Arda itself and classified as a Nameless Thing, neither Maiar or Valar. Ungoliant was on Arda, along with a few other primordial beasts, like The Watcher, long before Melkor and the other Valar arrived. He did not have any control over Ungoliant either, they both shared the same goal and became partners. She wasn't corrupted by him, nor his slave. After she fed on the trees, she became too powerful for Morgoth and almost killed him. If it wasn't for Gothmog, Durin's Bane, along with a Balrog army pushing her back, making her retreat, she would have devoured Melkor. She eventually got trapped due to her size, and her hunger was so insatiable she ate herself alive. Shelob, her offspring is also older than Sauron and was on Arda before he was.
What was the music you used for this video?
Ancient fathers by Kyle Preston
Very good pick.
Mairon(Sauron) was not the greatest of the Miar............he was second or third......the greatest of the the Miar was Eonwe the herald of Manwe.
He was propably greatest of miar in middle earth, but there were only around dozen of them in third age
Ilmarë and Eönwë were the chief Maiar.
@@kitfisto9227e was the greatest Úmaia.
True.
Mairon was the greatest Maiar that served Morgoth, not the greatest of the Maiar.
The art is okay, but are too human looking. The Valar are supposed to be more akin to Elves than Men.
Yea. Most greatest trio is Ëonwe, Mairon and Ilmarë
Wypipo prompts a generator
Eonwe?
Some basic canon details are wrong.
Manwë has blue eyes and wears (sky) blue robes.
Ulmo wears green scale armor and metallic headgear.
Minor point: Mairon is not really a canon name. It's what we can call ascended canon or pseudo canon just because most people believe it so it's accepted but there is no traceable origin from Tolkien. My opinion, just let's pretend it's the real name, is a welcome addition to the lore.
Why does Manwe look like John Cena?
Why does morgoth look like Megatron from transformers?
Forgot Melian!
No. There a hundreds if not thousands of Maiar. He didn't forget her just as much he didn't forget all the others.
@@stefanpieper3757 But Melian was a central character in the First Age which she being Maiar should not have been overlooked.
@@Ameslan1 More important than the literal Sun and Moon? More important than the Commander-in-Chief of the Host of the Valar? There are 16-17 (depending on Canon) named Maiar, some named character are possible Maiars, and he only included 6.
@@stefanpieper3757 Yes Melian is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than those other Maiar that you mention because she was a CENTRAL CHARACTER of the FIRST AGE! She is Maiar just like Sauron, Saruman, Gandolf, Radagast, The Blue Wizards, and the Balrogs! Melian was not in the background like those other Maiar during the Age of the Music.. Melian had dialogue, she was the one and only Maiar to have sex with her Elf King husband and given birth to Luthien .. She used her Maiar powers to defend her realm. So YES.. She is more important and should have been INCLUDED among that group of AI Maiar!
@@Ameslan1 The first rise of the sun woke the first Humans. Pretty important. The rest of your argument rests on what WE see. But the most important Maiar lived in Valinor, not Middle Earth, were our story takes place. Melian is simply an outlier, because she is one of the few Maiar who kept residence in Middle Earth.
Why does Irmo look so old?!
My thoughts exactly.
Aule looks like how I imagined him to be.
learn to do things right, amazon
You sound like my brother.
some basic details are wrong, costume-wise.
Name of the artist ?
artificial intelligence
I like the biography part of this vid.
Tulkas, Orome and Eru are so hot😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥
wait a minute why are you simping for eru?
@@bloodmachinebutbloodier cause he's a hot godly daddy
🤢🤢🤢
I have to disagree. Varda was smoking hot. Vana and Nessa were pretty hot as well. The male Valar (and Eru) were impressive and intimidating, but not that hot.
@@richardthomas5362 Well I am gay and while the female ainur were very beautiful, I still think the men were hotter.
I love how they are all white. AI was not yet been corrupted by wokeness.
Haha wokeness equals non white people existing.
@@tevildo45
Well yeah, in a fantasy setting that is basically medieval northern Europe.
It’s fantasy pal. It never ever happened. Wizards, goblins, orcs ye no problem but somebody with non white skin just offends the life out of you. Also black people existed in medieval Europe. This is just an incontrovertible fact
@@tevildo45 so, by your own estimate you should have no problem if we do a representation of Wakanda as a full white population since white people also has live in Africa. This is just an incontrovertible fact.
@@torkilddenhje20 Getting worked up over who plays a character in a work of fantasy fiction is about the least important thing I can imagine. If that's the sum total of your worries in life then you're either a child with no life experiences or an impressively coddled snowflake.
