Season 1 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power<\/a><\/em> promised a balrog, and while the tragic sacrifice of King Durin in the mithril-rich depths<\/a> beneath Khazad-d\u00fbm might have been brief, it was certainly spectacular. But there\u2019s one thing it didn\u2019t do, and that\u2019s give Rings of Power<\/em>\u2019s answer to a simple question: Can balrogs fly?\u00a0<\/p>\n

At this point, you might wonder if I\u2019m joking. Of course<\/em> balrogs can fly; they have wings. They\u2019ve always had wings. The one in the Peter Jackson movies<\/a> has wings. But what if I told you that when Peter Jackson and crew chose to depict the balrog with wings, they were making a somewhat controversial choice?\u00a0<\/p>\n

What if I told you that the question of whether balrogs have wings at all has been vexing Tolkien scholars for decades? <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The source of the problem is that all of the language that Tolkien used to refer to the \u201cwings\u201d of balrogs and their \u201cflight\u201d is open to interpretation. <\/p>\n

The first description of a balrog\u2019s form comes in the Moria sequence of The Fellowship of the Ring<\/em>. And the first reference to it having \u201cwings\u201d comes after several paragraphs that simply describe it as an enormous, maned, man-shaped figure, wielding a sword in one hand and a whip in the other, obscured in fire, shadow, and smoke. And in this first mention, Tolkien explicitly doesn\u2019t say that the balrog has wings. He says the darkness around it looks<\/em> like wings: \u201cthe shadow about it reached out like two vast wings,\u201d as the balrog squares up with Gandalf <\/a>on the bridge of Khazad-d\u00fbm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next reference, two paragraphs later, describes the balrog\u2019s fire dying down, and the shadow around it increasing, until \u201csuddenly it drew itself up to a great height, and its wings were spread from wall to wall.\u201d In isolation, this language is more literal. But taken with the first reference, it can be argued that Tolkien is simply elegantly referring to the previous simile, without intending a literal meaning \u2014 which is a generally observable pattern in the descriptive writing through his novelistic work. <\/p>\n

A few paragraphs later, the bridge crumbles under Gandalf\u2019s staff, and the balrog falls into the abyss. Tolkien writes: \u201cits shadow plunged down and vanished.\u201d Which raises other good arguments for flightless balrogs: If the balrog could fly, why couldn\u2019t it fly up out of the chasm? Why would Gandalf have even tried smashing the bridge under its feet in the first place, if he knew it was capable of flight?\u00a0<\/p>\n

And not to get too deep into textual analysis, but suffice to say, for every time Tolkien referred to balrogs in The Silmarillion<\/em> as \u201cflying with winged speed\u201d or \u201cpassing over\u201d a great distance, there is a counter-example of him using \u201cflight\u201d simply to mean \u201cescape\u201d or referring to whole land-bound armies as \u201cpassing over\u201d a country. And there are many references, in Tolkien\u2019s early writings that include balrogs, to balrogs being part of ground-bound armies, of the powers of evil containing no flying monsters to match the Great Eagles, etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But on the other<\/em> hand, The Silmarillion<\/em> was published posthumously, as compiled from Tolkien\u2019s most complete writings, not necessarily his most up to date. And we could keep going around in circles in this way for hours.<\/p>\n

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power<\/em>, a show that seems to want to align itself visually with the Peter Jackson movies, has a balrog that looks a dead ringer for the one in Jackson\u2019s Moria, complete with curved horns, a skull-like face, and great winged appendages covered in cascading smoke. But can it fly? The show has not yet clearly put a foot down in that arena: We don\u2019t see it fly in its brief appearance, but we do see it fall, flapping its wings in either an unsuccessful attempt to rise into the air or in a successful attempt to control its descent. So it too is open to interpretation, at least for now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

People will debate whether balrogs have wings and can fly until humanity is a fairy tale in books written by rabbits<\/a>, because there are compelling textual arguments for both sides and the \u201creal\u201d answer will never be known. It\u2019s the \u201cIs a hot dog a sandwich?\u201d of Tolkien studies\/fandom, the \u201cDo you say it gif or jif?\u201d It\u2019s a question that\u2019s fun to consider, so long as you take it with the weight of a Buddhist koan, and not the greatest thread in the history of forums<\/a>, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The most open truth is that Tolkien wrote a lot of descriptions of balrogs that could be interpreted<\/em> as giving them wings and the ability to fly, but he also never explicitly<\/em> stated that they have wings and can fly, not in any material that he himself saw all the way to publication. Both sides are potentially right and potentially wrong in equal measure. <\/p>\n

You can even hold both ideas simultaneously, like this: \u201cYeah, the textual support is limited in certain ways, but, in all earnestness, the wings look cool as hell, and it\u2019s all made-up fantastical mythopoeic opera anyway, so why not? The balrog in The Fellowship of the Ring<\/em> isn\u2019t described as having horns, either, and they look great. Maybe the chasm under the bridge of Khazad-d\u00fbm was too narrow for the balrog\u2019s wings to work?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyway, that\u2019s my take on it. Now to take a nice leisurely sip of this delicious water, and look at the comments section\u2026<\/p>\n
