Radaghast actually had another, secret task that he was to do over the others: Protect Nature.

I think it’s interesting the stories of the blue wizards aren’t necessarily contradictory.

Perhaps the secret cults and magical traditions mentioned in the letter were the Blue Wizard’s means of rebellion against Sauron.

"Hello, is this Smeagol? Someone told me this was this number"

"No this is Sauron"

"... Oh... Fuck..."

Even that I know all these things and have spent far too much time of my life just reading and learning about LOTR I still enjoy your videos far better than I did those I found when I was doing my own research back in the day.
I wish you would have been doing videos back when I was still learning. The biggest thing I enjoy about your videos is the fact that you go straight to the point and drop some humour in between stuff but still keeping it so that it can be understood and doesn't get too messy

Saruman visited the blue wizards, but not likely he did anything against them directly. Just like he would not attack Radagast directly. Saruman was planning and scheming. I would think he told the blue wizards to stay where they are and he would eventually send for them when the time was right, which never happened. Meanwhile I would guess the blue wizards continued to do what they were tasked for, at the time by sowing dissent and discord among Sauron's allies.

Saruman is looking to join an Acapella group! 🤣

How are you so underrated I frcking love this channel so much

[lainie]

I love your videos. Like I said before, I like to take a lot of screenshots of funny things that I see, and your visual (and audio) effects in there are quite funny

[jonseibert]

Just came across your shorts. Love hearing some of the background lore of lotr explained in a way that isn't as long-winded as most. :)

(Can we have a link to the 8-bit music you're using at the end? It's great.)

[ilker_ergan]

Perfection in editing and narration. Immediately subbed.

This channel has become my favorite for all things Middle Earth. Excellent content here bro ⚔️🥃

[lutzeichmeyer]

Wait, so because he prefered to save the environment than kill the dark lord, Radagast wasn't allowed to return to vallinor?

[mistraluss.]

I really enjoy your videos, but why did you choose got music in a video about middle earth?

[Kwolf]

Amazing videos! If you have the time, was Gandalf able resurrect because Saruman was no longer consider "the white" and therefore the role was open for Gandalf?

[Lucifer-ikpt]

Can you please explain saurman of many colours please

[indomitabletr]

What are one Ring's powers, i never seen besides vanishing 😂 5:22

[lok]

If they were forbidden to show their true power, why did Saruman keep these restrictions even when he decided to betray the Valar and take Sauron's side?

[kvonkirk]

I like to believe the two blues headed east after, but we don't know. Just the theory i subscribe to.

[resathe]

There is a lot of inaccuracy in the beginning of this video. Saruman didn't decide who the other Istari would be. Yavanna chose Radagast and begged Saruman to take him with him, Alatar was chosen by Orome and he took along Pallando. Gandalf was chosen by Manwe. And it was never said anywhere that the other three were Saruman's team and Gandalf would be independant. Saruman was the head of their order and that included Gandalf.
