Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

Using "someone else's problem fields
to deal with problems
Just dye them pink!
Would you rather be trapped in a shopping mall with 1 silverback gorilla or in a realm with four missing balrogs?
Are they like mad at me, or just in the realm too?
Are there greedy dwarfs digging too deep around?
One correction: Morgoth didn't "create" any Balrogs. He merely corrupted Maia to his will
New Theory: Tom Bombadil is a reformed Balrog.
Tom Bombadil is (probably) the avatar of Arda itself, which makes him far stronger than a Balrog, but not omnipotent. Theoretically if Tom Bombadil had to solo the entirety of Morgoth's forces in Dagor Dagorath, then he'd probably die, but who knows what would happen to the planet after that ยฏ\(ใ)/ยฏ
So what color does Gandalf become if he kills another one?
I think it must work like rpg rarities.
Grey>White>Green>Blue>Purple
Ah, yes, Gandalf the Uncommon.
And possibly also an orange, red, or gold tier
Gold is "legendary". Good ol' Gandalf The Gold.
I wonder if they ever caused any problems or just chilled wherever they were for eternity?
