Whens part 3 dropping return of the king
Andrew Clifton
Simply amazing. I was thinking the same thing as you when we saw the old rotten version of the king. Is that sleepy Joe 😴. Lol. Funniest part about this one is when Vigo Mortenson (Aragon) was doing the scene where he thought Merry and Pyp were dead and he kicked that helmet, he actually broke his toe. So that scream was truly real lol. On to part 2.
Matt Rumsey
Gandalf (and also the balrog!) are not creatures of middle earth; they are essentially minor deities/angels that occupy our world. The depth of the lore created by Tolkien goes WAY beyond the scope of the trilogy of books these films are based on!
Charlie Hinnant
dont forget about Hidalgo
Susan B
He’s also Oscar-nominated for roles in Green Book and Captain Fantastic.
Lenear Boyd
True!
David Nettles
So has it hit you yet that Aragorn is the same guy from A History of Violence? Doesn’t look like him lol
Charlie Hinnant
Call me Boromir cuz thats an arrow thru the heart
Lenear Boyd
Wednesday. Tomorrow I'm posting shows
Jeremiah Smith
We getting part 2 tonight or tomorrow my man?
Camille
Gandalf
Teth
Also, he has a lot of different names
Jenna96
when Gandolph is confused about this name it is because when he first is telling you about how he reincarnated essentially, he said every "age"/millennium= one day on earth, so he has actually been gone and separated from the persona of "Gandolph" for thousands and thousands of years. so, it took him a minute to come back to his past life so to speak and recall everything going on.
Lonnie Vannatter
He graduated Oxford, in June 1915, and enlisted as a second lieutenant in the Lancashire Fusiliers later in the same year. He saw action almost immediately at the Battle of the Somme (July-November 1916), which claimed the lives of two of his closest friends.
Susan B
It was a tree? I thought the beginning was always “In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit.” The large furry feet, and the underground houses, always made me imagine that hobbits were little rabbit-people.
Lonnie Vannatter
Did you know that the author JRR Tolkein was a English professor ad one day he happened to comment across a students blank exam paper at the top he wrote "in a tree there once lived a hobbit" and thus a saga was born...
Susan B
Fool of a Took! :-)
Mike Elder
Middle-earth is quite vast, and the road from the Shire to Rivendell, to and into and then back down from and then under the mountains, out of the mountains and into Lothlorien and down the Anduin River, to the threshold of Mordor, is more around nine months travel. So aside from the of time, Gandalf reports experiencing, in normal time, it was a little more than three days ago. I would actually suggest having a map of Middle-earth available for reference, since we all had one, right at the front of the book, from the beginning.
Lenear Boyd
Lol
Nick Chevalier
Okay, nerd impulses are creeping in. Gandalf and the balrog are the same order of being--Maiar--but Gandalf is actually true to his purpose to assist, guide, and protect living things. The balrog he fought wouldn't have harmed him a whole lot with his hellfire whip, especially after Gandalf just invoked the flame of true creation. TL;DR When Gandalf says "fly, you fools," he's gonna 1v1 something that can any% your squad.
Jakob
Highlight of the week. Though I have to say: releasing an episode of LotR on a day where my university work has piled up is pretty messed up. I had to wait until today to actually watch this. Should I send you my schedule, perhaps? That way you could release your content at more opportune times!
Nick Chevalier
Bogs are also generally unnatural, i.e. man-made. They form when land is cleared for farming, and then abandoned for a sufficient amount of time.
Tron
The Elvish cloaks they were gifted are magic and help to conceal or camouflage them. That’s why it changed to look more like a rock. And yes, Aragorn is known to be the best tracker in Middle Earth. That’s his specialty!
Tron
I guess you’re not familiar with bogs for whatever reason, but bogs are well-known for preserving bodies since it’s an acidic and oxygen-free environment which prevents decomposition. Many important historical (archaeological) discoveries have been made in bogs for that reason.
Triforce of Shadows
What about the unicorns in the Tangerine dream version of Legend? That theme slaps as well.
Teth
I'd say it's pretty evidently because he had it for so long that it completely changed his physiology. It's corrupted him to the point where he can't touch elven rope or eat elven food.
Teth
I was looking forward to you seeing Edoras ever since you mentioned Skyrim. That is 100% Whiterun, and they actually built it! I think the weed is supposed to just be tobacco, but the films are constantly joking about it possibly being *weed* weed. 😂 Most of your other questions will be answered later on. Can't wait for the next part!
Conner
Gandalf - “You shall not pass!” Mrlboyd- “ The Amazon guy just tripped my front door alarm” Both effective and epic in there own way
Mike MIchelsen
Hahahahaha, WAS it Greater Restoration, or just Remove Curse??
Molly McAllister
Being an angelic being is what gives him access to the cleric's spell-list of course, which was how he could cast Greater Restoration on King Theodan.
Christopher Wichman
I was talking about reefer lol. Where I'm from people call it pot, dope... All sorts of names.
Nicholas Johnson
Never thought about how closely the Daedric architecture from The Elder Scrolls resembles the architecture of Mordor until now.
Kyle Komperda
My view is that it is because Gollem had the ring for about 500 years and Billbo only about 60 to 70 years. Maybe having the ring longer make the ageless effects last longer. But yah it definitely is something that could of been brought up.
Jake Martin
There's quite a bit of conjecture as to why Gollum doesn't seem to age to the point of decrepitude during the intervening years between Bilbo taking ownership of the ring and Bilbo giving the ring to Frodo. So much conjecture, in fact, that I don't think I could provide a satisfying answer if I tried haha. I will say that the films differ from the novels in the way Bilbo is depicted after having parted with the ring, and because of that, the visible aging issue is avoided.
Kyle Komperda
Vigo adopted that horse after filming because they formed a great bond
Mike MIchelsen
As to what Gandalf is. He is a being called a Maiar. "300 lives of men have I walked this earth..." Kinda like angels. They were servants of the highest. And helped with the creation of the world. Some were true, and some fell to evil,.. Like Sarumon... Some fell and rose again, Gandalf the Gray to Gandalf THE WHITE, since Sarumon was no longer the white wizard.
Mike MIchelsen
Dope!? Tweekers make dope in trailers. And I say up with hope, dooooown with dope. Pipe weed is ganja. And The Shire grows the stickiest of the icky. That's why they're always so hungry. Second breakfast? More like morning munchies.
Christopher Wichman
The movie likes to imply it's dope though lol.
Camille
Pipe weed is just another word for tobacco. Tolkien was a language professor and giga nerd, which is why he invented several languages incl. Elvish and also why he uses such beautiful (imo) language coloured with older phrases.
gak9319
The Dead Marshes contains the spirits of men, elves and orcs who died in the great battle you saw at the beginning of the first movie🫣🙂
Kyle Komperda
Fun fact Vigo actually broke his foot while kicking that when they found where meri and pippin escaped and thought they were dead.
Kyle Komperda
Go on and say it Joey B should hand it off! Lol
EndlessRiver
Guys we can say the fact about the kicking of the helmet and Viggo (Aragorn) breaking his foot when doing so now! Hooray! Also when you say he is the best tracker in the history of trackers, yeah, he pretty much is. He is one of the best trackers/rangers in all of Middle-Earth! Also, Shadowfax is the only horse I know that has his own kickass theme.
Susan B
My single critical thought on this entire trilogy was that Treebeard was boring. It did create a snack-bar opportunity.
Susan B
The cloaks given to them by the Elves are capable of changing texture to blend with background. Like an octopus.
Woes
Who's gonna tell him about the helmet kick. Has to be a few every reaction 🤣
Susan B
Gollum was once, as Gandalf told Frodo in the first film, not unlike a Hobbit. 500 years alone in a cave with the Ring made him what he is.
Alejandro Rosiles
I don't remember if it's been said already who Gollum is so I wonder if it's a spoiler 🤔
Alyssa Dyson
yaayy
Royal Williams
Yes let’s go
Mega Reacts
Let's go!
