Alatar and Pollando (other izards) in MOVIE!!!!!

JTB · 12-20-2005, 06:08 PM

iF YOU LOOK ON THE lOTr tcg lists, in the bloodlines category, there are two cards out of a long list. One of them is like Alata: Far Traveller or something. ALATAR IS THE MOTH IN THE FOTR!!!! Here's the link to see Alatar's card:

Pollando is the MOTH IN THE ROTK! At the end, the one that gets the eagles, you know? He's Pollando! That's what happened to them! Sauron turned them in to moths! But the still help to oppose evil, I guess.
Here's Pollando's link: http://decipherstore.fanhq.com/TCG/C...=7&cardID=5882

By the way for hose who don't know, Pollando the Deep Blue and Alatar the Sea Blue (or just blue) were the two other wizards besides Radagast, Gandalf, and Saruman who went east to oppose Sauron but were never heard from again.

coooOOOOoool....

Curubethion · 12-20-2005, 10:24 PM

Whoa...
(BTW...it looks like you got Alatar and Pollando mixed up...the shot for Alatar shows part of ROTK, and the shot for Pollando shows part of FOTR)

OMG, they got turned into moths? Totally unTolkienesque!

By the way it's Pallando.

And the Eagles came by themselves in the books.

durinsbane2244 · 12-21-2005, 10:12 PM

yea, that's why he said in the movies...see, the moths weren't in the books...but still cool...

Oh. I haven't read the books, but watched all the EE DVD'S and own them.

sacrilege!

you should read 'em sometime... they almost live up to the movies

definitely not tolkien's view... but an interesting take none-the-less... though it kinda leaves radagast out in the woods... which is probably fine with him

The Gaffer · 12-22-2005, 12:42 PM

Groovy. I wonder whose idea it was.

Definitely read the books. Stop what you're doing and go and get 'em now. I am still curious as to what someone who saw the movies first would think of the books.

durinsbane2244 · 12-23-2005, 08:48 PM

with any luck we'll know soon...

On the Decipher link, the card for Alatar has a picture of Gandalf on it.

Alatar as the moth? Definitely creative. The Istari came to Middle-earth in the form of old men, except Alatar, who chose the form of a white moth.

I wonder what the point of doing that is though.

Do you have a screenshot of the credit for Alatar? (I like your avatar by the way JTB. My eyes!

)

Curubethion · 12-29-2005, 11:17 PM

Take a closer look, Nurv...the moth is there...although Gandalf is the main part.
I guess Decipher wanted to put the Istari in the game, and they decided that making them the moth(s?) that showed up to help Gandalf made sense.

The original poster + those who believe that Alatar and Pallando were moths = retarded.

rohirrim TR · 01-23-2006, 11:18 AM

I think moths would qualifie as "the most unlikely creature imaginable" what if they had got hold of the ring?

Curubethion · 01-24-2006, 12:07 AM

Hmm...I just took a look at Pallandro's card again, and at the left side, there's a link to the next card: Radagast. And the Radagast card has a picture of Gandalf + the moth at orthanc. I don't think Raddy got turned into a moth either...

I know, but If you look closely you can see what he's looking at- the moth / Alatar. Its hard to see cause he's almost camoflauged (sp).

He's not really a HUMAN in the movies, he's just the moth, if that's what your questio meant.

Thanx!

I don't understand that either, but there IS another card that has "human" Radagast. Here's the link: http://decipherstore.fanhq.com/Resou...TR-EN00051.jpg
It was created by WETA, the dudes who did all the technical / effects for the LOTR movies.
So, no portrayer, just a digital created wizard. Sweeeeeet.
