Part 6/8:
In the films, the final battle between Gandalf and the Balrog ends with them falling into the depths of Moria. However, post-resurrection, Gandalf recounts their struggle leading them to the top of the tower of Durin. This elaborate sequence is only hinted at, leaving viewers to wonder how they transitioned from falling in the depths to fighting atop a mountain tower. The coherence of this storyline lies firmly within the pages of Tolkien’s writing.
