What the FUCK was Morgoth's problem?

...

eru illuvitar

SHARE

He wasn't content with construction the world, he thought he should be a creator.

He wanted to be a possessive and unquestionable lord. He wanted to own creation. When he couldn't he became a destroyer and a slave-driver.

He was a punk ass bitch who couldn't handle the smack down Ilúvatar gave him.

He wanted to delete the world.

this desu

As much as I dislike elves Fingolfin had some massive balls

>tfw Peter Jackson both created and destroyed any chance of having another movie set in the Tolkien verse.

What are you talking about The Hobbit movies made shitloads even though they're shit.

TLDR: He wanted to be god.

Jealousy and power lust mostly. He was the greatest of the Valar but nothing was ever enough.

If you could adapt one story off the Silmarillion for a tv miniseries which would you chose?

>choosing anything other than B&L

Why is he holding the mace like that? Is Morgoth about to fall over like a clutz?

So thats your standard. As long as it makes shitloads of money.

Either that or the kinslaying and flight of the Noldor but I fear we'd just get "epic meme elf battles"

Welcome to capitalism commie.

Why didn't they take the eagles?

the fall of gondolin is the only answer to this question, from the kidnap of aredhel to the betrayal of maeglin and the death of turgon.

you could introduce some elements of antique greek and byzantine bling and tragedy to underscore the whole fall of syracuse/athens/byzantium vibe.

the story is particularly ripe for retelling in the current climate, given its themes of identity and what-have-you. at least, that's what i'd say to the execs at the pitch meeting.

>someone actually do this

His taste in music was shit.
MELKOR WAS A PLEB

He wanted to be the one to rule, not Illuvatar. He's basically the devil. He rebelled and there was a great war and he took a great portion of the host of heaven with him.

The silmarillion would make an incredible manga...

...

Is it ever explained why the Maiar and Valar all but disappear by the Third Age?

Tolkien history seems interestingly close to Greek mythology or Christian faith in that the further you get away from present day the less literal the stories are.

Envy of God.
He's totally-not-Satan.

>yfw the reason day and night exist in the LoTR world is because a giant spider ate two trees

>Greek mythology or Christian faith
It is well known his greatest inspiration comes from Nordic myth. Most of his ideas are straight from there.
