The author has a great style in explaining things and displaying graphical features  :)

Yes that's very true, i am still now watching all his 29 videos about middle earth, i really like how he explains them, very simple but beautiful at the same time.
There is something i dont understand, Melkor brought Ungoliant to help him destroy the two trees, shouldn't the valar had sensed its presence before it reached the trees ?

Walküre:
If we really wanted to be very diligent (as I'm sure we are), we should deal with the question you made in the Lore Corner  :P
But, I think I can give you just a direct answer here, as long as it doesn't widen itself in a broader discussion  ;)

As far as I know, the Valar sensed Ungoliant, but only when she entered directly the Blessed Realm (beyond the Pelóri).
The Valar, the Maiar and the majority of all the Elves (Fëanor included), furthermore, were celebrating a festivity at the top of Taniquetil, in the Halls of Manwë and Varda.

They had not sensed Ungoliant before due to the fact that she had always been hiding herself in the very Aman (obviously, out of the Pelóri like Eldamar and Araman), in the dark and dangerous shores of Avathar (that the Light of Valinor didn't reach).
When she revealed herself to attack the Two Trees, the Lords of the West were definitely taken by surprise, and the Darkness of Ungoliant, described by Tolkien as the nemesis of Light itself rather than the absence of it (a sort of 'Dark Light', like what antimatter is compared to matter), had also the incredible power to temporarily darken everyone's sight (even Manwë's and Varda's) and to hide everyone imbued with it (Ungoliant and Melkor).

Yes, Ungoliant is really a terrible Maia  [ugly]
After she killed and absorbed the vital force of the Two Trees, she becomes titanic and it's inferred in the text that she briefly became more powerful than Melkor and the Valar themselves.
In fact, she was able to defeat the Royal Guard of the Valar and momentarily block the movements of Oromë and Tulkas!

i think that the middle earth world is big enough to make series of movies like the marvels :) it could be awesome to see, i dont know the fall of Arnor or the conquest of Gondor... :)

Walküre:
And, it seems that someone else had my same idea of a 5-chapter saga for the Silmarillion  :D

Even though, I have to say, the titles of the chapters are not what I had in mind.
Great attempt anyway!

Might be the best option to make a Silmarillion movie would be to divide it into the most important parts (beren and luthien, children of Hurin, the fall of gondolin) and make them all into a series of multiple movies. beren and luthien can be divided in the taking of the silmaril and in a second movie where it focuses more on the hatred between dwarves and elves, children of hurin could be divided into the phase where turin is in menegroth over to the point where he becomes an out law, etc you get the picture

not sure if that would be any good but its an idea, to make multiple movies rather than one (also peter jackson would be ok with trilogies so maybe)
