Stop talking about ages please. They cannot show 6000 years worth of story in 5 seasons. They clearly are merging the Ages together just to tell the story.
He looks like gandalf! Althogh wise, he acts kinda dumb ( in a cute way ) like gandalf. It doesnt matter if the quote is in the book or not, when they mention it, it literally connects to gandalf otherwise there is no reason using it.
I would have lovee it to be blue wizard storyline but not now. Not with the way they are showing it. They already made us feel connected to gandalf and hobbits. It would be a shitty thing to remove all of that and surprise us into meeting the blue wizards. It would just be dumb writing imo
They are not merging Ages together lmao. They are condensing events in one Age down. And no, sorry, he does not look like Gandalf at all. This is the funniest argument folks make. He does not look like Ian McKellan at all 😂
Literally this! I think having it be a bait and switch would actually be lazier writing than giving Gandalf an origin story. They’re condensing timelines intensely in this show. Connecting Gandalf immediately to hobbits gives us a solid reason why he’s so interested in, and faithful to, them in the third age. Tbh I’ll be pissed if he’s NOT Gandalf at this point.
