    People getting all out of shape about the age of the hobbits whereas Gandalf was created at the beginning of time, which is much older than 2019 years old. That’s likely the age of his current physical manifestation, but his spirit is truly ancient.

    The Universe in Middle earth is about 55,000 years old, but that’s stated to be created after creation, so Gandalf was created before that.

      Gandalf arrived in Middle Earth at the beginning of the Third Age so he’s been around in that form for about 3000 years since Bilbo’s farewell party took place in the 3001st year of the Third Age. The Fellowship was founded in 3018 so Gandalf is about that old if we’re only counting his time in Middle Earth like you say

        The only way to solve that is to kill his form later. But we are talking about a show that cleaned its ass with the books and then threw them to a dumpster fire.
