You're telling me Gandalf can kill a Balrog 1v1...

you're telling me Gandalf can kill a Balrog 1v1, but he has to hide in a tree instead of just hopping down and jobbing this silly faggot?

That's Manu Bennett, you're goddamn right he's going to hide from the fucking Champion of Capua.

Gandalf didn't want to waste his magic on killing an orc. He had to keep it in his bank account so he could keep getting interest on it.

Unless he's facing an old demon, Gandalf is not allowed to use his full power.

yeah you gonna tell me a fucking hobbit never been out sa shire, fidures out a magic riddle on a door and Gandalf couldn't? What's the word for friend in elvish? Gandalf an immortal wizard spend 5 hours and doesn;t know, but the hobbit gets it? stoopid.

bad prose

For fucks sake

In the books Gandalf is the one to figure it out

>most powerful orcs are white
Interesting

Real confidence builds from experience, and takes time to develop.

Wouldn't be the first who had a flight response at one point in their life, only to later have a fight response later on.

He used all his once a day skills fighting the goblins
It’s why he runs out of mana fighting the troll in the third movie

that's a raw deal.

>here's $1 million, but you can only use it on something that costs $999,999

pretty much yeah
valar are kinda dickheads that way

...

A Balrog is not that expensive. more like 800k

He was Gandalf the Grey then, he hadn't ascended to Gandalft the Blanco.

this
his credit score hadn't reached the required level for an APR adjustment, so he was still only a Grey Member with the Miair's advanced magic investment portfolio program with a reduced tax rate

I like you.

For the sake of this analogy, did Gandalf use his remaining $200k to come back as the white wizard, or did he blow the whole $1 mil and had to call in some favors from his banker buddy to be resurrected?

He got a tax rebate

the resurrection was part of a fixed rate contract for a low down payment and 2% payments.
it would be fucktarded for a high level investment wizard like Gandalf the Grey Market to dedicate such a large percentage of his investment portfolio to a single asset

LOL’d

I think I underestimated this meme.

I always thought Gandalf the White was a very direct metaphor for life insurance

800k$ was the amount he had remaining and spend it all on the balrog. He spent the other 200k$ prior to that on lightbulbs, a human-animals speech translator and shits like that.

Same with wizards

I think George Martin underestimated this series.

This explanation made me laugh.

Best thread on Sup Forums right now

Don't say that, it's such an insipid Reddit phrase

This. Gandalf COULD technically go around blasting mortals apart with superpowers but that would make him no different than Sauron.

In Tolkien's lore, Orcs are just badly corrupted elves.

I wanna fuck this orc
