Because G non need it anymore ! Because the Old wizard is dead and lives just the Light. And if some Old in G still lives (as in us watcher that wish he put down the Witch King with one of his fire/tricks) that has to be broken.
What we believe fear in G eyes is just the understanding of this truth. And that the evil has to bring it is one another truth.
And it is no case, but again providence that Rohan come now....
So I believe Tolkien could forgive Peter J also if he betrayed him 3 times !  |
Aiea, I really like your thoughts, but that means Gandalf was all the way wrong regarding his true mission since he resurrected. He was wrong, saying he was the most dangerous being in ME except Sauron, he was completely wrong asserting he was sent to ME as a steward and, finally assuming that dealing with WK was his job. And if there was no Gandalf but just light so why was he incarnated once again? As
Alatar said several times those two minutes make PJ world look somewhat inconsistent.
In an attempt to save "the world" I would like to provide my own version of the event. Unlike the book, in the movie Gandalf the White exceeded the limitations imposed on him by Valar. He displayed too much power, repelling Nazgul; he intimidated Denethor and took over power in Gondor. So his staff was broken and he diminished. At the same time, he did it all due to occurring emergencies, so he was allowed to remain a councillor for Aragorn and welcomed back to the West in the end. May be this amendment can make it more consistent, but I doubt PJ and scriptwriters were going so far from the original story.
