Dark Lord...Gandalf?

Frodo: “Take it Gandalf! Take it!”
Gandalf: “No Frodo.”
Frodo: “You must take it!”
Gandalf: “You cannot offer me this ring.”
Frodo: “I'm giving it to you!”
Gandalf: “DON'T tempt me, Frodo! I dare not take it, not even to keep it safe. Understand, Frodo, I would use this ring from a desire to do good. But through me, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine.”

What if Gandalf would have taken the ring? Would he become the most powerful and evil being in the world, even more powerful then Sauron himself??

Thoughts? 😈

I'd imagine he'd end up equal to Sauron

no chance, diudnt you read the books or listen to the movies.....NO ONE BUT THE DARK LORD CAN WIELD THIS RING.

Gandalf would have a ring which he couldnt use,

The Ring would have corrupted him like Sauron corrupted Sauroman

HE would have turned into some big scary cuddly grey bearded man.

Like your granfather perhaps...

Except your grandfather doesnt try to kill you.....hopefully.
And your grandad doest try to oppose me and foolishly use my evil ring, made out of evil gold for my evil finger, for good and then turn evil because he doesnt understand my ring is evil for my evil finger alone.

Then he would probably go all out of control and maybe kill me but hey, what ya gonna do?

yeah what chris said 🙄

but no one could use the ring, I even thought gandalf would of known that. Imagine if anyone could use the ring, Isildur would be imortal, Bilbo would of had a mansion and Gollum would own a fish trading company...

Yes....thats right.....

gandalf would have done the same thing that the elf in lorien would have done (dont remember her name)....he would have used it for good.....no one has said anything about it being used for good or evil....it was just made by an evil person and it just corrupted them from the taint that the Dark Lord :bows head: had on it.....so i think that gandalf would do something to put of the corruption because frodo put it off a really long time and gandalf is a lot more strong willed then frodo ....but thats just my opinion....and i dont even remember exactly if they said it had to be used for evil....but i didnt think so.....plz correct me if im wrong

I think the mroe powerful you are the more it has an effect on you

Frodo probably resisted so lonmg through reason 'if i let it use it, i wont stand a chance'

Sombody like gandalf would think 'hey, if i use this....i could be huge...'

I know that other people were corrupted by the ring, but none were as powerful as Gandalf. I agree he would have been in the same boat as Saruman, but still. He would have been a force to be reconed with, and him weilding the ring may have sealed middle-earths fate!

🙁 it wud of been a bugger if he had taken the ring reallly

If Gandalf had the ring...He would try to do good like he said, but it would be evil...He would disguise his actions with excuses like'it's best for the halflings'
He would soil the brandywine saying that because he made it so filthy the hobbits wouldn't go near it and drown themselves!
He would cut down the party tree, saying it's roots were causing erosion in to bagshot row...
He'd think he was doing good, but in reality he'd be doing evil...like Boromir, he only thought the best thing to do was to...give the ring to Gondor.

Yeah but he only wanted to save his city 😛

i beleive Gandalf also says in the book at the counsel of Elrond that the power available to the wearer was subject to the wearers power and skills...

the average punter to put it on was only able to take advantage of its invisibility feature and even then it was without the ability to controll it...

Tom Bombadil was powerful enough to wear it without entering the void... and even then powerfull enough to see frodo invisible...

the ring could not be controlled as such by any man... because part of saurons will and spirit were in it... Wizards would have been a slightly deifferent case... they were far more powerful and would have had an infinatley wider set of uses for it. Gandalf or Saruman, WOULD have been able to use, but it would be their own will that they would have lost controll over... if Gandalf had taken the ring he would have had a whole new array of abilities at his disposal, and knowing the location of the three elven rings he would been able to control them, And already having one of those rings would have been an added bonus, he probably would have been able to control the ringwraiths, but as his will would be lost to sauron, nothing really woiuld change for the ringwraiths... i think Saruman would have had a better chance to control the nazgul, then gandalf because of his voice...

but in the end, Gandalf would have eventually brought the ring to sauron... who would reclaim it and make Gandalf his slave...

a high ranking one though...

I agree with you about saruman...his voice.
His special abbilities are enhanced because of the ring...
Now...what if legolas had the ring?? or Gimli? what powers would they have?
