Saruman in a sentence

Gandalf broke Saruman's staff and expelled him from the White Council and the Order of Wizards, and assumed Saruman's place as head of both.

He freed King Théoden from evil influence, broke Saruman’s staff and expelled him from the White Council, and repelled the Ringwraiths with his unveiled power.

It also would've been more compelling if they made their decisions themselves, showing how Middle-earth is uniting together against Saruman.

Of course, this made him a natural enemy to the Ents, who were responsible for protecting the forests that Saruman destroyed.

Saruman especially had devastated the forests of Middle-earth, and others were affected simply by the presence of evil that had resulted from Sauron's steady climb to power.

Saruman had either forgotten about the Ents' role as protectors of the forest or reasoned that they were too slow to act and too weak to stand against him.

Saruman the White will amass Orcs 2 whenever its controller casts their second spell, which fits the blue-black amass control archetype and to a lesser extent, the white-blue "draw a second card" archetype.

This may be what Saruman had expected from the very beginning—that the Ents would come to Isengard and attempt gentler methods of stopping the destruction of their forests.

Gandalf's inclusion was another idea of Boyens', in an effort to gesture out to the wider world of Middle-earth, and also provide a counterpoint to Saruman's cameo.

Have him be the Gary Stu of the istar so they can then bring out some young Saruman as a counterpoint or something, regardless just leave the Blue Wizards be.

Producer Philippa Boyens reveals that the late Christopher Lee voices Saruman in The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, and explains how.

Radagast arrived in Middle-earth around the same time as Gandalf, and though Saruman had been instructed to take Radagast with him, the White Wizard disliked him, and they quickly grew apart.

Saruman does eventually fall to the darkness in The Lord of the Ringstrilogy, but his turn occurring in the Second Age, when takes place, would be far too soon.

Being alive for so long and knowing so much about the bigger picture would inevitably give Saruman an edge.

It's a visual treat to watch as Treebeard and his army of Ent trees tear apart Saruman's city of Isengard, especially after witnessing fields of Treebeard's dismembered tree companions.

Denied, Sauron ordered his Orcs to raid Rohan and steal horses instead, while Saruman, who was already under Sauron’s influence, sent his own uraks.

But at this time Saruman himself began actively seeking the Ring near the Gladden Fields where Isildur had been killed, not far from Dol Guldur.

Gandalf and Rohirrim reinforcements arrive at Helm's Deep just in time to defeat and scatter Saruman's army.

Gandalf's relationship with Saruman, the head of the Order, was strained.

Gandalf then parleys with Saruman at Orthanc.
