The Hobbit Trilogy

<< < (58/71) > >>

Walküre:
Elrond himself tells the Council, in the books, that he was there, during the War of Wrath, beholding the mighty and holy Host of the Valar engaging battle in Beleriand...

Yes, I wouldn't mind listening to Elrond's tales entire days  :P

Fredius:
The reason that they didn't let the viewer hear about those tales of the first age is that they dont have the rights to the Silmarillion. Therefore only that small hint is given. Same goes for the names of the Blue Wizards, their names are known (Allatar and Pallando), but PJ is not allowed to give them. That's why Gandalf "forgot" their names.

Walküre:
Yes, I knew about those two, but it was, I think, because their true names are specifically mentioned only in the Silmarillion.

What I meant was some little and general references about the War of the Jewels.
In LOTR and, especially, in the Appendices, there are summaries as well about the First Age and the main 'mechanism' that characterised the events of that time, based on the direct or indirect eternal fight between Morgoth and the Valar/Eldar, with various unexpected elements here and there as it often happens in the narration.

In the Appendices is summarily mentioned the tale of the Downfall of Númenor too, and, along with the events mentioned above regarding the Elder Days, these references are periodically hinted at by Tolkien (via his characters) to always highlight the importance that those 'mythological' facts had for the course of the History of Arda (the traditional mythological references to the Ancient Past that we often find in ancient/classical literature).

Obviously, there are not many specific names, or every character of the very Silmarillion, and it would have rightly been illegal referring to them.
But, I think that a general summary in form of memories of the Past would have been fine; probably, they made Elrond stop just to not confuse people with more events and names (and with a Dark Lord greater than Sauron)  xD

Fredius:
It could also be a little teaser so that people will search about it on the internet xD.

NetoD20:
And then we'd have more friends talking about it here ^__^
