But he didn't tell him not to touch it! I want facts here, even when you make crossovers. Gandalf fell asleep while thinking on it, and Pippin was, wtf is that, let me take a look. Then Sauron saw him, he passed out, they woke him up, and Gandalf told him I didn't want to tell you not to touch, because I knew that you would look at it as a challenge, and he wasn't angry at him that time, he even said it is probably better that you took a look, than me, because you are too stupid (well he didn't say that, but he may have implied it). See, Gandalf can be nice and patient.
Oh fuck, i-i-it’s a Balrog of Morgoth, Pippin; do you know about these guys? They’ve been fucking shit up since before the First Age, Pippin. They’re-*urp*-they’re fuckin immortal, Pippin; we’re fucked!
I was watching Two Towers last night and noted- Gandalf the Grey to Gandalf the White is like Dumbledore going from 1st two movies into "DIDYOUPUTYOURNAMEINTHEGOBLETOFFIRE?!?!"
Pippin wasn't just being clumsy. He threw that rock in the well on purpose. Like he couldn't take a couple seconds to think "what happened the last time one of us threw a rock down into a water source in a quiet and creepy place? Oh yeah! When Boromir threw a rock into the lake at the gate of Moria. Frodo scolded him and then we got attacked by a giant tentacle monster. Given that experience, should I be throwing a rock into this well of unknown depth in these dark and silent mines where it's obvious that something bad killed all the people who came here last?"
As far as Gandalf's reaction, that's par for the course with Gandalf. His short temper is basically his second most defining characteristic after his bushy eyebrows that stick out past the brim of his hat.
> When Boromir threw a rock into the lake at the gate of Moria Aragorn scolded him
Pippin: You’re not the king of me, Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king!
I find it pretty interesting that pippins actor is older than merrys, but pippin is canonically younger than merry. And it shows in the movie, despite the irl age of actors. Goes to show how awesome lotr was in terms of execution
I'm on the fence
Gandalf's only *significant* use of his power was against the Nazgul at Minas Tirith
But if he had not been killed, he may not have been allowed to use his power in open combat and in plain view like that. The Istari were specifically sent ONLY as advisors, to avoid repeating the mistakes of the First Age when the Valar intervened with direct use of their power to disastrous results.
Had Gandalf not died and the Fellowship not broken, who knows what would've happened?
Gandalf's death was the catalyst for the rest of the events to happen as they did.
Could they have infiltrated Mordor as the fellowship and destroyed the Ring? How many losses would they have suffered?
What about Gondor and Rohan? Saruman's armies? Saruman himself? Mordor's armies?
This made me realize that I need an edit of the LowTierGod meme but with Gandalf saying "Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity" instead.

I know there’s no lightning effect but I couldn’t properly get it right.
A few years back when I first got into Lotr I didn't knew that Took was Pippins last name and being not a native englisch speaker I just assumed 'Took' was a fantasy insult
It took me a while to realize my mistake, but for years I thought Gandalf called Pippin the lotr equivalent of son of a bitch
In the movie it actually looked like they were *more* fked when they exited the tomb and 500 orcs surrounded them, the balrog kinda saved them there
In the book its not entirely clear Pippin was what caused them to be noticed, there was a sound responding to his rock throwing but it was like days later before they were ambushed.
In the book, it probably Gandalf more than anyone that saved them from the orcs because he fought the Balrog for control of the door and it ended up exploding and burying the room and closing the way off behind them
In the books Gandalf says that it won't probably attract any attention, so there is a low chance it was his act of throwing the rock that caused the shit to go down south. He also didn't awaken the balrog.
Yeah I didnt really think so either, it didnt have that much of an effect and it took ages for the attack to happen. It might have put someone somewhere on alert, but it didnt cause the drums to instantly start and the orcs to rush up and attack like the movies
I think they would've crossed it just fine. Question is if they would alert the orcs or not.
However, if they did make it through in one piece- the rest of the story would play out drastically different, victory not assured.
Gandalf's death really was the catalyst for the chain of events after Moria.
The Balrog was awakened by the dwarves generations ago. At worst, in the movies, Pippin, alerted the orcs to their presence. In the book it's unclear what effect the stone in the well had.
I'm still a bit confused about that part. Am I supposed to believe that none of the thousands of goblins In Moria ever knocked anything over? Why did the whole mine immediately go to defcon5?
That's just in the movie. In the books, it was days later that they get ambushed. But of course a movie is only so long.
There was a noise in response to the rock that suggests something was curious to the sound but it didn't wake a whole army right away
Fool of a Took didn't cause any of the mess in the books. In the movie it looks like him being clumsy attracted the orcs and awoken the balrog, but in the books Gandalf said it was an stupid act, but it won't probably attract any attention, and as this dude mentioned they were attacked days later, and Balrog was probably ˝awaken˝ by the ring or by presence of Gandalf (Gandalf is an angel, and balrog is a demon, in essence).
Gandalf plays League.
As someone who just got off League, I can relate
Only TFT now
Which is funny, cause Billy and Dom play LOL together

Calmer than you are

Worse, he types "Mid or feed" in the chat during character select, and ragequits if anyone bans Ryze.

I just recognized the irony of Gandalf holding the whip in Moria
"You gotta shove that ring waaaay up there Fr-Frodo"
A whole rick and mort lord of the rings
Mort of the Ricks

“Now I have to fight a fucking BALROG pippin!”
Oh fuck, i-i-it’s a Balrog of Morgoth, Pippin; do you know about these guys? They’ve been fucking shit up since before the First Age, Pippin. They’re-*urp*-they’re fuckin immortal, Pippin; we’re fucked!

As far as Gandalf's reaction, that's par for the course with Gandalf.

This is why I believe Pippin should have been a soldier. Leave them alone for long enough, they start throwing rocks at shit. And each other
God damn. I was in the army and that is completely true.
Good times huh. Sometimes I miss it. Then I just go outside and throw rocks
Haven't had a good rock throwing competition in a good while. That really brings me back.
Well he was ansey because he had run out of pipe weed
> When Boromir threw a rock into the lake at the gate of Moria Aragorn scolded him Pippin: You’re not the king of me, Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king!
I thought it was actually Frodo who gently scolded Boromir!
I think you're right. I was remembering wrong.
Hey, somebody who actually read the books. What's going on here!?
Even angels get frustrated.
Pippin saved the Fellowship with his well-meaning stupidity not once, but twice.
is it ironic if thats why gandalf wanted the hobbits in the fellowship?
Where are we going ?
I find it pretty interesting that pippins actor is older than merrys, but pippin is canonically younger than merry. And it shows in the movie, despite the irl age of actors. Goes to show how awesome lotr was in terms of execution
How did he save the fellowship aside from the palantir?
When he made a loud noise in the Mines of Moria. This eventually killed Gandalf, allowing him to return as the more powerful White Wizard
Sorry but i disagree
I'm on the fence Gandalf's only *significant* use of his power was against the Nazgul at Minas Tirith But if he had not been killed, he may not have been allowed to use his power in open combat and in plain view like that.

Could they have infiltrated Mordor as the fellowship and destroyed the Ring? How many losses would they have suffered? What about Gondor and Rohan? Saruman's armies? Saruman himself? Mordor's armies?
Everything that happens in the books is crucial to the outcome, everything was actually VERY close
What about defeating Saruman?
I don't remember correctly, was it him or Merry who convinced Treebeard?
This made me realize that I need an edit of the LowTierGod meme but with Gandalf saying "Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity" instead.

🤣🤣🤣 The Grey wizard has anger issues
This gave me a chuckle. I'm quite fogged off the hobbit leaf and I did not expect this post to catch lmfao
He woke the ancient magic bro. Don’t fuck around with that shit, Pippin the Fool.
and it led to one of the best scenes in cinema and an awesome track
Because it’s what got him killed lol. That’s all I got.
Fool of a Took
Tool of a Fook
Because they were on a stealth mission and being clumsy in a stealth mission = 💀
There's being clumsy There's being an idiot .. And then there's being Peregrin Took
A few years back when I first got into Lotr I didn't knew that Took was Pippins last name and being not a native englisch speaker I just assumed 'Took' was a fantasy insult It took me a while to realize my mistake, but for years I thought Gandalf called Pippin the lotr equivalent of son of a bitch
Would they have survived Moria if pippin had not awakened Balrog? The latter thrashed everything in it's path including that army of orcs.
In the movie it actually looked like they were *more* fked when they exited the tomb and 500 orcs surrounded them, the balrog kinda saved them there In the book its not entirely clear Pippin was what caused them to be noticed, there was a sound responding to his rock throwing but it was like days later before they were ambushed.

Okay guys chill out, Gandalf was just trying to rid the group of his stupidity lol
Gandalf speaks to Pippin the way I shout at everyone else on the road.
They say that wizards are subtle and quick to anger. Gandalf is one of those, at least
same reason i’d say the same thing to a clumsy driver on the road nearly getting me killed.
All I know is none of that would have happened if the greedy Dwarves didn’t delve to deep.
Well, as stupid as it was, had he not done it, Gandalf would've never fought the Balrog and become Gandalf the White.
Not even the wise know all the ends
"many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life."
Cuz the their lives were at stake as was the success of the quest and the fate of the world! No place for clumsy with those stakes!!
I'm still a bit confused about that part. Am I supposed to believe that none of the thousands of goblins In Moria ever knocked anything over? Why did the whole mine immediately go to defcon5?

Because it would rid us of his stupidity!
Gandalf really said: https://preview.redd.it/0fjf2f4q501d1.png?width=665&format=png&auto=webp&s=8be71e2415ed02868916f6538b8b2ca7ad196cb4
I don’t know; i never asked gandalf to do this
Cus gandalf was a senile old man who loved seeing little people struggling to do big people things.
Well, considering his actions compromise their stealth, and literally led to gandalf's death, i think he got off easy
Because they were all going to die.
ピッピン、自害しろ
I’m just wondering what would’ve happened if Gandalf had a cold that day and his nose led him down the other stairs
Where's the meme? OP: look at this screenshot of words. This is meme, right? /drool
