Gandalf [merged]

Um, pretty darn old? 😄

I don't know...sorry!

he looks it to

Oh I was wrong about that Gandalf thing. I rechecked my book and well according to it, it seems that Gandalf and the 4 other Istari have been around for a VERY long time. My old theory had some truth to it because Gandalf did take the name of Gandalf when he came to Middle-Earth.

Before he was sent to Middle Earth by the Valar, he dwelled in the Undying Lands and then he took the name of Olorin to the Elves there. Just see Valar and the others from the Undying Lands as a Tolkien Greek Gods and Goddesses. Each God is in charge of one thing, as Valar is the 'god' of the Maiar.

Is Gandalf immortal because he is one of the ring bearers?

No, he isn't immortal really, let me explain. When Gandalf was battling the Bolrog, he was Gandalf the White. When he "died" he was reborn becasue he had not exactly finished his task on Middle Earth, so he became Gandalf the White. After the war of the Ring was over, he would soon die, like anyone else. Correct me if I messed anything up.

"When Gandalf was battling the Bolrog, he was Gandalf the White." White? Do you mean Grey?

Gandalf is kinda of a immortal thing, really because he's been around for so long his spirit anyway, the spirit of the Maiar. Him physically being immortal, no.

whoopsies... yes, he was gandalf the white hen... 😮

NO HE WAS GANDALF THE GREY WHEN HE FOUGHT THE BALROG!!!

cool, thanks all

I did!! I laughed sooo hard everytime he hit someone in the face with his staff!!!

lol
yeah that was funny... but a bit, erm, strange... well I liked him far more than in TT here.

Yeah....Gandalf reminds me of my grandpa. He's really nice, and funny, but if you're bad, he'll kick your ass!!!

-liv

mine too!!! very kind and wise, and a bit funny from time to time🙂

Gandalf was funny in ROTK I was laughing when he smack that fool of Denethor 😆

I dont think it was that funny, I was more concerned about his staff actually breaking due to the force he used it on

Sure it was funny that fool of Denethor was being too dramatic and Gandalf just smack him off!! lol!!

Gandalf was funny... and I agree, SilverFighter, about Denethor being too dramatic, LOL. That was priceless.

gandalf! 😂

Gandalf definately got some up close ass whooping action. And when they're about to enter the top of Minas Tirith

"Now remember you must not say anything about the death of Boromir... (and some other stuff)....well it's best that you don't say anything at all..."

"Is this part of a ceremonial tradition? I mean....you don't suppose they expect me to do any fighting, do you?"
"You're under the service of the Steward now..."
"Is there any hope, Gandalf....for Frodo and Sam.."
"There was never much hope from the start...just a fool's hope."

LOL

now remember to bring him news of his son boromir would be unwise, and do not mention aragorn either, or of frodo and the ring, in fact perrigrin took, its best if you dont say anything at all

That's it Sauron! Thank you!
