Now you'd think that whoever was up there in the sky making all these wacky decisions for Middle Earth, would maybe erase that part of Gandalf's memory when they sent him back as Gandalf the white.
But no!
They probably just wanted to see exactly what Gandalf would do.
And unfortunately there were other events before the Ring was destroyed that made Gandalf want his sweet revenge even more.
First Gandalf arrived in Lothlorien only to have that stupid elf Haldir (who had heard the whole story from the Fellowship) make fun of him and snicker behind the wizard's back the whole time.
However, Haldir wasn't the only one.
When Gandalf arrived in Rohan, Eomer did the exact same thing. As a matter of fact so did Faramir in Gondor.
Jeez, Gandalf couldn't go anywhere and not get made fun of.
Of course those three did a couple other things as well.
Two incidents occurred at the Battle of Helm's Deep.
First Eomer was sooooo bossy and obnoxious that he had to cut in front of Gandalf during the charge and look good while doing it.
Then Haldir (seeing Gandalf's new white clothes and lack of pointy hat) shot his final arrow at Gandalf thinking he was actually Saruman (who I think was starting to get a little depressed since Gandalf wasn't returning his phone calls).
Gandalf's beard was short enough now. Curse Aragorn for having the hands of healer and saving that dumb blonde elf.
Then there were a couple of incidents in Gondor which revolved around Boromir and Faramir.
Yes Boromir! Legolas had been able to save the man from the Orc arrows at Amon Hen. Elves are so useless.
Because Gandalf was just rejected by Boromir once again. As well as by Faramir. Getting rejected by both of Denethor's sons was definitely not good for Gandalf's ego.
And Denethor was no help. Since he was already driven quite insane it was no surprise to anybody that he was actually amused by the whole incident.
Anyway, what was foremost on Gandalf's mind after the Ring was destroyed was mainly revenge.
And that was on Aragorn, Boromir, Faramir, Eomer, Legolas, Haldir, Frodo, Merry and Pippin.
Yeah, Sam and Gimli had been in the Fellowship, but they hadn't really done that much. Plus Gimli was too amusing to do anything.
So Gandalf thought for several weeks about what to do. Then he remembered a certain potion of Galadriel's...
But no!
