But let them all be bruised, certainly only him, nor all but her.

But let them all be bruised, certainly only him, nor all but her. [In reply to] Can't Post
And, Lightice knows well enough what others and myself have meant by float. See her passage through Lothlorien when she summons Frodo to look into the Mirror. Yes her feet touch the ground, but she almost glides. And it is WONDERFUL! And it fits her well there and bespeaks her great power. . . it would NOT fit in Dol Guldur in a struggle against Sauron, when all about even Istari are being desprately assailed.

And he/she needen't be condescending. Let us not act as if Sir Peter, Ms. Boyens et al have never made any choices that might cause anyone to ever question a path they might be taking based on statements made. Unsure

My prediction, the most likely to come true, that this is all much ado about nothing. Gandalf gets injured to demonstrate the power of his enemy and gets carried to safety by Galadriel. What the context is, we only have speculations, though I very much doubt that it's the main assault on Dol Guldur.
If Radagast doesn't die, then it makes sense for Gandalf to be (seriously) injured. If the White Council all walked out of Dol Guldur without a bruise ... then the battle is not threatening at all - it's not exciting or dramatic.

I wonder if this is how Gandalf will break his arm in the film. Maybe he turns up to the BO5A having already broken his arm?
"Hear me, hounds of Sauron, Gandalf is here! Fly if you value your foul skins, I will shrivel you from tail to snout if you step within this circle!"

"Do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

Protesting in advance to the notion of Galadriel carrying Gandalf like a babe in arms, as though she were an angel of mercy. AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Jan 11, 7:06am
