And then Tolkien went “YOINK!” while writing the Silmarillion, so the Balrogs are Maiar who sided with Morgoth.

I am... pretty sure that the Silmarillion does not contain Rule 63 Balrog porn, Matt

We know from the Silmarillion that they're also Maiar. Fallen angel parallels with Morgoth as Satan.

Lmao someone on Threads was mouthing off about TROP “destroying” Tolkien’s legacy and disrespecting The Silmarillion and then revealed in the comments they haven’t actually read The Silmarillion, so naturally and correctly, they’re getting clowned in the comments 😂

These people do not read the Silmarillion. They don't even read the trilogy.
(I found The Silmarillion profoundly boring as a tween, but I didn't try again when older, and I know a lot of people enjoy reading it. But: these people don't read it.)

If you finish the Silmarillion, you are out of your mind.

As a dork who has read the Silmarillion, this is a deeply weird reading of balrogs, who are maiar, like inferior to the Saurons and Sarumans (and Gandalf). Maybe dort sees a kindred spirit in that they couldn't pass the evil boards to get their own names.

I must have missed the Incel Balrog storyline in the Silmarillion.

Maybe. So in that case he's only partially wrong (many ppl younger than ~35 watched Star Wars with Episode I first, and some nonzero # read The Silmarillion series before LoTR)

I don't want to defend this guy but I think he means the end of *their* story. I.e. they've already become the villain when we meet them.
