So he really just waited down there for thousands of years? He didn't do anything in the mean time?

How is he both a minion of Sauron and something that was sleeping in a mountain for thousands of years doing nothing?
Dominic Wood
Tolkien is a hack
Joshua Ross
he's not a minion of Sauron, he's of equal status
Benjamin Hughes
what status? they never explain things in these movies, and im not gonna read 1000s of extra notes to fill all the things the movies didnt explain

a Balrog is in no way equal to Sauron just like Gandalf the Grey isn't equal to Saruman, they are the same kind of being but that doesn't mean they are equal in power or status. They both served Melkor but Sauron was much more senior to a Balrog, though how this one survived is a mystery Tolkien never touches on. Also Morgoth was the greatest Balrog and Morgoth took orders from Sauron.
Asher Robinson
how are they equal if one is the ruler and the other one is sleeping in a mountain?

The Silmarillion is a good book, m8.
Kevin Foster
it is but it didn't set out to be an entertaining story hence it's not an easy read for historians or fantasy lovers. It's a little convoluted as well with disporportionate amounts of text for unimportant details.

cool vid, but what is the motivation for the dark lord and sauron to start doing bad things? isn't 'why' the most important part when you are the villain in a story?

He was asleep, when the dwarves moved in they mined too deep and woke him up so he spent some years eating them, then once they were dead he was tired so went back to sleeping, just occasionally snaffling up a stray orc that comes too close. Also in terms of lifespan of both Balrogs and Middle Earth in general, sleeping for a thousand years or so is like a bear hibernating during the winter, so it seems long to us but is not that long in ME terms.
Before Sauron and Melkor defeated, the Balrog would have been awake doing battles and shit, once they were defeated he ran off and hid in the mountain as it was unlikely anyone would bother searching in the mountain bottom for rogue balrogs.
