So um.. where did Gandalf get a staff after Saruman took his?

So um.. where did Gandalf get a staff after Saruman took his?

it's just a stick dumbass, he can get one from any tree

He was hiding a spare on his person. Saruman should have learned to do a cavity search on his prisoners.

No it isn't you idiot, it's a magic staff.

the eagles returned it to him

Oh and guess what, it's the same freaking staff!

Here is Gandalf in the Shire before he went to Isengard

...And here is Gandalf in Rivendell after escaping Saruman.

WHAT SAY YOU, HACKSON?

Now this is podracing!

looks like a different staff to me

It is literally the same. The lighting is different.

Defend this, Hacksonfags.

magic

Can some bookfags explain this?

Why did Hackson change so much?

Where's the crystal?

>rewatch Return of the King recently
>Gandalf does fucking nothing
>wizard

Can bookfags explain why Gandalf doesn't use the one thing he has over almost everyone else in the world?

>magic

The last time the gods sent help to armwrestle with evil beings, they did just as much damage to the world and the mortal races

So this time they needed the wizards to inspire the races to rise up and win their own battle

He isn't allowed to, his role is to be more of an adviser rather than divine intervention.

he's a maiar basically an angel that was sent by the valar/gods with orders to oversee the destruction of the ring without actually using their powers because the last time the valar marched on middle earth they btfo the landscape sinking an entire continent.

I guess I'm okay with that.

I want this movie

He's a fucking wizard angel thing. It's probably magic

It's not a crystal you mong, it's just light

>ACCIO STAFF

literally one of the first spells any young wizard learns. Didn't you pay attention.

How can he do magic without a staff though?

You know other spell wizards learn first? Alohomora, the door unlocking spell. Gandalf got cucked by a fucking gate and needed his manlet friend to save him. Dumbledore wouldn't even need to utter a word, he'll just have that gate open for him.

It's a crystal. It's also a different staff altogether, than the one he had at Isengard.

It's not a crystal you fucking moron. He lighted his staff. It's the same staff from different angles.

How can he do magic with the staff?

It dropped as high level loot after he defeated the Balrog.

It's just a walking stick.

It provides a focus for his powers

lmao what an idiot shan't employ you as guard

It's a crystal, he's measuring time with the staff.
It's just a fancy quartz watch in a staff body.

That's why wizard's never late

What's the tax policy on loot?

They look the same. Either your wrong or this is a bad example.

yeah, so then he should be able to do it without the staff also

That's like saying you can shoot a bullet if you have pieces of a rifle. You need to piece it all together, that's what the staff does, you little neophyte.

>return from the dead
>Yeah alright
>return from the dead with a magic stick
>I just don't buy it
He magicked it back
He's a wizard

>>return from the dead with a magic stick

He didn't die after Saruman got him.

Man this board is full of retards.

It's Radagast's.

Probably bought a new one in the cash shop. I always got freemium MMO vibes from LotR.

DUDE JUST SHIT ON MY FACE LMAO

>The Brown Wizard

more like the poo wizard amirite

even without the crystal, you can clearly see, these are two different staffs

try again faggots

Who makes new staffs? Did he backtrack to Thomas bombadil and have one made.

Finders keepers losers weepers

He cut Treebeard's dick off and used that

One analogy is that the Fellowship is a small group of pro US rebels, Gandalf is the CIA, Sauron is the head of an anti US militia, and the Balrog is 500kg of cocaine. Gandalf can only act within certain limits, and is more there for training and motivation, but can get up to shady shit when he's not going to get caught.
