Brett Watches Lord Of The Rings For The FIRST Time! 

Exactly, not sexual at all.

I don't know about that. Asking your best friend who is Male if he remembers the taste of Strawberries seems pretty gay. Lol

@@brian197686 not if you havent eaten anything but dirty hard bread for ten years

@@CH-tv1cy I was just kidding my man. Thanks though.

@@CH-tv1cy naked in the dark. I speaks for itself 🤣

Or forget how Bilbo got the ring from Gollum if you claim you've read the Hobbit, like she admitted in the post-reaction.

@@eschiedler “What is in my pocket” is NOT a proper riddle, and Sméagol never should’ve let Bilbo get away with it. This is a hill upon which I will always stand, willing to die if need be

She should be punished..... I will say though, memes have made it very difficult for someone who hasn't seen the movies to take them as seriously as they should...

Anyone else wonder if this is what it’s like when Leonard FINALLY convinced Penny to watch LOTR 🤔 other than that - this is like every movie I’ve seen with a “girl” from chatty to more emotional reactions… to checking her cell as if totally checked-out… which is why I usually watch a movie MYSELF (90%) ever since High School! (Though, before the cell phone, chics used to check out with a quick make-up fix 💄 or rattling around their purse 👜 or looking at other couples and “comparing” 🤨 MUCH better to date at LIVE performances!!!)

@@randomusername89 agreed. that ain't a riddle, it's just a question.

It’s fucking rude my generation is so immature

Whaaaaaaaaaat? Should I even watch this? Laughing during Boromir's death scene is NOT kosher!!!

@@windsongshf LOL. She makes light of it for sure. I threw this series with Brett on in the background while working. Not anything super entertaining. But it’s worthy of a time waster

I'd laugh if Billy Ray Cyrus died, so . . .

I didnt cry when bpromir died but i did cry when sam said: i dont mean to

I wonder if this is Tolkien referencing Njal's saga?

Also, Fëanor probably wanted to create something using her hair. Hey, do you listen to the Prancing Pony Podcast? Or maybe The Tolkien Professor, Corey Olsen? If not, you should definitely come and join the Tolkien community.

In the appendix of the Return of the King, Gimle encased those three hairs in transparent crystal as an heirloom of his house.

I'd never made that connection. Very cool.

It also shows the fact that even with the old feud between the elves and the dwarves, when the son of one of the members of Thorin Oakenshield's company asked the a royal elf of Noldor for a strand of her her and gave him three, while in the past, Feanor, the king of Noldor, was refused of one strand each of the three times he asked.

Meanwhile with Return of the King. "Well it's over." "Wait no there is more."

Yeah that was pretty much my reaction

I'm sad they didn't watch all three back to back. We watched the first two extended cuts, then drove to downtown Seattle to watch the Return of the King at midnight in 2003. Such a wonderful memory!

When I took my girlfriend at the time to see Fellowship in the theatre, she had zero idea what it was. And when it ended she got mad at me because she didn't realize it was just 1/3 and wanted more.

This whole thread I feel kindred spirits...my dad and I stayed up and made lembas bread watched the first 2 then went to the theatre for the midnight premiere. Good times. I still have a cloak that my mom had made for me because I loved the ones in the movie.

No you don't. I bet they think their cool but

You can kinda tell a fan edit because skipping you shall not pass which is so popular but fly you foul is way more popular in the community.

@@bobberry1463 A truly enlightened Tolkien fan would have left “I am a servant of the Secret Fire”.

I understood that reference

Or the emotional "I would have followed you, my captain....my King" .....damn it, who's been cutting onions in here.

Actually 6 movies 6 actual books of Hobbit and Lord of the Rings I reread 6 books in my public Jr. Highschool in reading classes and History classes and there weren't any Live-action movie and no cartoons Anime Hobbits in theaters and t.v. in my time in 1977 Public Jr. Highschool and I seen Animation cartoons Hobbit movies on t.v. was the best folklore singing Celtic song and Choir from New Zealand and Australia in 1980 and others cartoons Hobbit movies wasn't as good as the first Animated cartoon was . So there was no Live-action movie until 2001 and Peter Jackson should have started at the beginning of the original order book " The Hobbit," And Unexpected Journey," by J.R.R. Tolkien. Then came The Hobbit," Desolation of Smaug , number 2 movie about Dragon 🐉 and Then came number 3 movie " The Hobbit," " The Battle of the Five Armies ," and Then came number 4 movie " The Lord Of The Rings,": The Fellowship Of The Ring 💍," Then came number 5 movie " The Lord Of the Rings,": The Two Towers," Then came number 6 movie " The Lord Of the Rings," : The Return Of The King," started 2001 through 2015 on regular DVD discs and I can't find Blue-Rays DVD discs and there's tons of behind the scenes and stories lines Director cuts and how to do special effects and lots of bloopers . I didn't buy any of J.R.R. Tolkien's 6 books at book store I only get them books at major State Library to go to Public Jr. Highschool reading classes and sometimes my public schools kindergarten through highschool and college libraries has them and teachers would be borrowing books at public Jr highschool library if they have enough to go around.

In actually facts The original books was in fact 4 long books " The Hobbit," : The Desolation of Smaug," number 2 was actually number 1 book with " The Hobbit," : And Unexpected Journey," number 1 book and another " The Hobbit, Next Journey I never had read at the STATE public library and I was too busy with other homework and J.R.R. Tolkien written 3 or more books in which I don't remember what their name was .

The very first edition copy books was 6 books of the same thing as the Live-action movies of Peter Jackson . And I only have re-read 3 edition copy of 6 original stories " Hobbit," Lord of the rings," in both paperback small thick pages books and regular sizes large books . My Public schools kindergarten through highschool and college only have paperback small thick pages books in the school's libraries.

2001 ,2002, 2003 was the The Hobbit The Fellowship of the rings movies made on DVDs discs And 2012,2013, and 2014 was made DVDs discs and I have 22 DVDs discs Extended Edition of the last 3 movies 2012 ,2013,2014.

Honestly, I had more fun watching Scheller than Brett lol Except when she freaked about Bilbo's Gollum face. That was funny.

*insignificant

@@thatiowan3581was about to correct that, thanks for already doing it.

same lmao😂

usually how it is

And LOTR couldnt keep her off her phone???

Now the Matrix is next.

A good thing to pressure her into. Since Tolkien is such an open Christian (catholic).

Mission accomplished gentlemen. Drinks on me 🍻

I know! At least she is watching it now.

It’s high fantasy, I can see why many would skip it, however I also 100% agree that this is probably one of the best film trilogies ever made, and definitely one of the very best adaptations ever!

Agreed!!

I haven’t seen it until now

I didn't get into fantasy until last year, but even I saw each movie in theaters. Probably because of the hype and Elijah Wood is one of my favorite actors. Plus, Orlando Bloom 😍🤣

She doesn’t care, she’s an NPC

The effects are still some of the best ever on screen to this day.

Literally though. Before LoTR and them winning so many Academy’s, Hollywood looked down on the genre as most fantasy/adventure films were seen as comical and childish and never thought that such a category would ever be seen in the red carpet…and then LOTR was out. There’s good reason why so many people back then said those 3 movies were a HUGE gamble at the time. So much effort and time for a fantasy series that everyone has looking down on at first. The score and production alone was enough to win awards…

Isn't she an actress though? I would have thought she'd have even more appreciation for them. It's sad 😔

You are 100 % correct. When Frodo said "I wish this hadn't in my time." It hit my heart as I was thinking about 9/11 and how I wish that happened happens in our time. I held on the Gandalf response. It comforted me

He was a legend himself

Chris was awesome. Apparently he was hoping to get the role of Gandalf, but humbley accepted saurumon when Ian McKellen was selected for the part.

I loved him as Dooku also

Christopher Lee was also a spy during World War II. I won't spoil it for you, but some of his first-hand knowledge acquired during the war was used in the films.

@@UnclePengy ha it's not a spoiler. Lee told Jackson that in his experience, when someone gets stabbed in the back they don't start screaming like Jackson originally had written, they quietly sort of gasp for air and die.

Also it's not a trilogy.

It was all downhill from there

Factual. I grew up with these movies (still am growing up) and they have influenced me so much as a person

D. Ryan Webb Correct. Tolkien intended for The Lord of the Rings to be published as one book, although it is actually divided into six parts called books, so it could be considered a hexalogy. Or because it was intended to be one volume of a two volume collection with The Silmarillion, it could be considered half of a duology.

I liked the Rings of Power better

It is Blasphemy! That is what it is.

Zero attention span 🤣

Irritated the shit out of me.... dudes literally trying to show her something that takes so many people back and shes scrolling away...

@@tylertapp131 she can scroll if she wants to, stfu

That annoyed me so much too

I watched the entire trilogy “extended cuts and hd” for the first time a few months back. I finally understood why the movie got so much hype. Didn’t like the hobbit movies as much, still great but not as great as LOTR

@@therookie5714 The extended editions are overhyped. They're not as good as everyone makes them out to be.

@@DestinyAwaits19 they are the only thing I’ve watched so I wouldn’t know the difference

@@therookie5714 If you had the chance to watch Lord of the Rings all over again, without any prior memory, would you do it?

@@DestinyAwaits19 yeah. I’ve actually only watched each movie once. My favorite one is probably the second one

yeah which is more than I can say about the abomination known as the Rings of Power

Yeah, that was actually annoying. She's supposed to be reacting to the movie and she spends most of her time looking at her phone. 🙄

She just wants for the views

Yeah. Reactors pay attention to what gives other reactors lots of views and lotr is one of the big ones.

also the most emotional scene and shes like: SIMP breaks my freaking Heart

I’ll emphasize the importance of the lovey comment you just made: Deeper lore version for you: Galadriel's gift to Gimli has deeper meaning behind it, like most things in this movie & reflects the expanded lore of the middle earth universe. Galadriel is one of the 2-3 most powerful & wise elves remaining in Middle Earth since the time the land was young. She was born in a place called Valinor, or the Undying land... which is basically the place of residence of the Valar, the local pantheon, the local "gods" as you may call them. Back then, the world was not illuminated by the sun, the moon and the stars, but rather by 2 trees of gold and silver, Telperion and Laurëlin that lit the world before the sun & moon were born from their last flower and fruit as they were basically killed by Melkor. It is said that Galadriel's hair had somehow captured some of the shine of those two trees. Her uncle Fëanor, who was a great king of the Elven people & also arguably their greatest craftsman to ever live, asked/demanded that she give him a lock of hair, so that he could use it to fashion 3 gems that would shine of the same light as the trees. Sensing his pride & a shadow that wasn’t exactly belonging to him brewing from within, she refused his request 3 times. He stopped asking and made the gems anyway, managing to complete the task he had set for himself even without her hair. Around these 3 gems, the possession of which became the driving force for many of the great events in the world, entire wars that lasted for centuries exploded, & other events. The gems actively shaped the fate of the races of middle earth to the point that the aforementioned Valar got involved directly. During these times, events surrounding the gems brought about the traditional enmity between Dwarves and Elves... the same enmity that Gimli still feels towards them. That enmity however does not survive his encounter with the wise Galadriel, whom Gimli basically falls platonically in love with. By giving him 3 of her hair, Galadriel is opening a door, offering an olive branch that might one day close the gap that divides these two races. Legolas, himself being an Elven prince and centuries old, knows of the story through his father Thranduil & grandfather Oropher, as it shaped the lives of all Elves, and his subtle smile is possibly the first act of acknowledgment and reconciliation. it is also a way for Peter Jackson, the director of the film, to give a nod to all of the fans who know these facts and backstories... a way to make us feel seen, and to make us appreciate just how deeply the makers of the film respect the books and larger universe created by Tolkien. The thing with the hair may seem weird, but there is a significance to it in real life as well as in the lore of the story. In real life, it was not uncommon for wives, fiancés, or even girlfriends to give their men (who were going off to war), a lock of their hair as a keepsake, particularly in WWI, which Tolkien fought in. The lore part of it comes into play in The Silmarillion, Tolkien's tales of the creation of Arda, the Undying Lands of Valinor, and Middle Earth. Galadriel is many, many thousands of years old, & was born in Valinor before the sun & moon were even created. At the time, the world was lit by two trees, one gold and one silver which would shine at different times from each other, but would shine together once a day when one would fade and the other brighten. Galadriel's hair was said to look like the light of the mingled light from the two trees, which may have inspired Feanor, a master craftsman and heir to the high king of the Noldor, to craft the Silmaril's which were three jewels that captured the light of the two trees, one golden light, one silver light, & one co-mingled light. Fëanor had a bit of a thing for Galadriel and begged her for her hair three different times, which she rejected because she could perceive the inner darkness of his heart and rejected him, which made them "un-friends" after that. There is a lot more to the lore than that, so this is the super crib-notes version. But the point is, it was VERY significant that she granted Gimli three of her hairs to a dwarf, when she would not to the son of her king many 10s of thousands of years ago of which she is related to all three kings who were brothers and Elu Thingol of Doriath was one of the brothers that didn’t stay in Valinor even though he was one of the elven ambassadors along with his three brothers and that king I mentioned was VERY close friends with Thingol) ever wondered how old Galadriel is during the War of the Ring? I have looked in many different sources and depending on where you look, she’s anywhere from 17,000-20,000 years old. 6,000 seems too young as it would make her close in age to Elrond, who I know is much younger than her even though he’s 6000-8000 by the third age, which wouldn’t make sense for her at all even if she was (“690 years older” as some kept repeating on the internet making 6960!)As she was around long before Elrond was even born and time was experience differently to say the LEAST as there is a lot to go into on that subject lol.) She was born during the Years of the Trees & back then the years were something like 9X longer than a solar year so I understand the math is hard, especially since she isn’t given an exact birth year. But it is said that Finarfin, her father, was born in Y.T. 1230, so I would assume she was born sometime within 1000 years of then (being generous). Basically, I’m wondering what the most accurate range is for her age during the events of Lord of the Rings. I’ll also add that Galadriel is was around before the ents even existed (of which Treebeard is 15,000 years old so she’s OLDER than Treebeard/Fangorn) or very close to when they were “created” by Yavannah and probably had much knowledge to do with such things and or direct knowledge of what happened. Probably through an early prototype of her mirror or simply another dream that made her long for middle earth all over again ontop of the yearning she already had to go there and explore. Nothing to do with Fëanor’s oath and all that jazz. Just going from the Appendices (and maybe Silmarillion) she would have to be at least 9000+ years older than Elrond, Elrond was born near the end of the First Age, Galadriel was adult before the destruction of the Trees. Actually, more than that: I just checked, and the Second Age ended in SA 3441. So an elf born literally at the end of the First Age (FA 590) is 3441+3018 = 6459 years old when Frodo leaves for Rivendell. Elrond was born in FA 532, so adds 58 years to get 6517. Elves are mature at 100, so Galadriel adds at leas 632 to Elrond's age, to be at least 7149, and possibly quite a bit more (as attested by other comments.) One fic had Maglor(Elrond’s Adoptive Father, Maedhros was also adoptive father alongside Maglor, they were the eldest sons of Fëanor) - One fic had as much older than Galadriel; I wondered how we knew, and it was pointed out to me that Maglor was the second oldest son of the first son of Finwë, while Galadriel is the youngest child of the third son of Finwë. So, yeah. Note that the second age was the LONGEST and again time was experienced very differently back then too aside from the internal clock of elves working very differently, she’s definitely older as far as the world and the other beings that age far faster around her. I also remind you all that she’s older than the sun and the moon and witnessed and most likely even helped in the Valar’s crafting of the last fruit and flower of the two trees of Valinor. She was the most involved with learning everything possible from them. She’s 25th generation from Tata one of the elven forefathers to wake to the stars. Their birth was rather shrouded in mist. Only those of her grandfathers ilk have a chance of knowing the origins a bit better as they are closer to that culture that stemmed from the beginning. The Years of the Trees were the second of the three great time periods in Arda that followed the Years of the Lamps and preceded the Years of the Sun&Moon. They were known to be comprised of several Ages and lasted in total around 1500 Valian Years or 14,373 solar years. Time flowed differently back then and time flowed differently within them too for the elves live as long as the world does. Epic hey?❤❤ The Dúnedain said that Galadriel’s height was two rangar, or "man-high" - some 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm). However, Galadriel's most striking feature was her beautiful long silver-golden hair. The Elves of Tirion said it captured the radiance of the Two Trees Laurelin and Telperion themselves. Galadriel was said to be the tallest female in Middle Earth, at 6'4”. But then Thingol was the tallest elf ever to live, and he's estimated to be almost 9' (274 cm) Thingol was also a very very prominent figure within the Silmarillion and other books. He’s the great ancestor of Elrond+Arwen and through Aragorn being directly but distantly related to Elronds Twin Brother Elros it makes him loosely connected to Thingol as well. Let’s just say he died a tragic death long long ago. I’m a continent that doesn’t exist anymore. The events I spoke of in my earlier story of Elrond about his fathers deeds, which lead to the Valar helping with putting a Stop to Morgoth for good so to say and that War Of Wrath lasted 80 years straight and it left the landmass torn asunder from the clash of gods and the holy host of Vanyar elves that were closest to the Valar than all other elves so you can imagine what a bunch of mighty elves men and Maiar fighting a bunch of fowl creatures and beings for 80 years would do to a continent. It all fell into the sea. Galadriel barely made it over the mountain before that part of the story officially broke out.

I've got a question. (For real) Does it change the way that the trilogy "feels"?

One of my earliest memories is seeing the Black Riders and being creeped the fuck out

👏👏👏

The fact that Sam goes on to sire 14 kids kinda lends some credence to your interpretation.

I mean, Tolkien was a WWI veteran and a devout English Catholic. Frodo and Sam reflect the strong bonds between an officer in the English army and his batman not a gay couple. Wherever you stand on the LGBT+ issue, a gay interpretation of Frodo and Sam is laughable.

It's literally the most immature take on the whole thing. When they were making gay jokes near the end I was pretty annoyed.

Them: "they said you cant have male friendships anymore" 30 seconds later: "that was gay" "thats gay"

And Aragon taking his wrist braces and wearing them after his death. Little bits like that really make it.

I'm someone who has to fully focus on a movie if I've never seen it before, and it annoys me when someone isn't paying complete attention to a movie I want them to see; but I feel like she pretty much paid attention. Her comments at the end sounded like she knew what was happening.

My wife does this, but instead of looking at other things on her phone she's looking into the deep lore of the movie. LOL!

why is that so relatable?😭

Cant blame her, its just good jump scares

Wait'll she get a look at Shelob.

I mean Jackson *was* known for mostly schlock horror prior to LOTR lol.

@@LadyElfTari good point

@@bryancorrell3689 literally nightmare fuel.

As long as its a genuine reaction, Im fine with it.

LOL 😂😂😂

There were a couple of changes that were probably better theatrically, I just wish they didn't do em

@@herbthompson8937 Like Arwen warrior princess lmao

@@nitrogenfume9762 Yeah lol. Glorafindel was such an important figure in the second age. He managed to kill a balrog all by himself (but died in the process but Mandos allowed him to be reborn.)

Chronicles of Narnia is up there too. Wish the Hobbit would have been more accurate

@@nitrogenfume9762 my biggest peeve is "emo" Aragorn.

Oh man good times

Id probably laugh again when gollum attacks frodo in mount doom. It’s a serious scene but its just funny watching him float in mid air

WOW ! Did Frodo save you from dehydration by bringing back a gallon of water ? And bullets proof vest 🦺 or dragon proof vest ?

Right! I didn't think she was THAT young, I would've guessed she was a mid- to late-90's baby, not 2000's

Anyone else wonder if this is what it’s like when Leonard FINALLY convinced Penny to watch LOTR 🤔 other than that - this is like every movie I’ve seen with a “girl” from chatty to more emotional reactions… to checking her cell as if totally checked-out… which is why I usually watch a movie MYSELF (90%) ever since High School! (Though, before the cell phone, chics used to check out with a quick make-up fix 💄 or rattling around their purse 👜 or looking at other couples and “comparing” 🤨 MUCH better to date at LIVE performances!!!)

@@TheGeoDaddy bro you gonna copy paste this on EVERY damn comment thread?

I watched them when I was 17-18 as well, best trilogy ever. I did however get that same rush when Mad Max Fury Road dropped, and Infinity War was just amazing. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 may be the same for me, I’m so heavily invested in those characters.

@@puppy14 fury road was an epic movie experience, may be best ever for me.

@@Wymmeli My cousin said it would be the best action movie for the next 10 years. That actually might happen. That scene in the orange hurricane has yet to be topped for me in terms of scope, and the fight with the motorbikes + the music is still my favorite scene of all time.

I went to the midnight premier of the first Hobbit movie. 2 of my friends acted out the bridge of Khazad Dûm scene impromptu up front before the movie started. Crowd was lit. Then the movie played and that sweet, exciting era ended.

I was like 9 when this came out. Wow, and I'm pretty sure my parents took me brother and I to see every single one of them when they came out

same my great grandma bought one of my sisters the two towers on dvd for christmas when it came out, we were poor at the time and rewatched the shit out of it lmao.

SAME

Ditto

I also had the opportunity to meet him a few years back after he did an improv show, and he really is super nice and friendly! We could tell he was tired, as it was late at night and he had done 2 or 3 shows that day, but he still took the time to meet with us and take pictures. And during one of the improv scenes where he took suggestions from the crowd, he very happily said his infamous line "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!" It made us all so happy to see him say that in person. It was an unforgettable night.

Wow

@@querdenken763wirfurdasgrun9 go on! Tell me what is so "wow"! I'm curious where the conversation can go!

I was impressed with the quantity, didnt even bother to read it....

Shame they cut out galadriel saying i amar prestar aen 😢

You have to consider that Brett and Scheller are still children. They obviously have little to no experience or context for the grueling effort, the incredible danger, the potential for being horribly murdered by real monsters and the trust and comradery that can develop under those circumstances in what is essentially a military, small unit infiltration operation. I am sorely annoyed at the little girl who laughed at Boromir's death. But like I implied and said, immature children with no context as to what they are watching.

I think the two of us hold similar opinions on the movies and concepts, but I don't think that Brett and Scheller could be classified as children. I think a more accurate way to say it is that they haven't truly considered what it would be like to commit yourself to a set of principles so deeply that living by them is the only way you *can* live. I'm sure there is someone in their lives they could spend time with in order to have a living embodiment of what we're talking about as an example. Brett is young and full of passion, but it seems that she hasn't been tempered by suffering yet. Scheller on the other hand openly admitted that he might shed a tear during ROTK, but not so much here. He knows what happens, so he's kind of glossing over what the characters are experiencing in their own real time like it's less meaningful because it works out in the resolution of the 3rd movie. His stoicism dampens his compassion.

Watching some of their reactions had me realizing that though I feel pretty young, I was raised in a completely different world.

Strange to consider that the time between noticeable change keeps getting shorter and shorter. I'd guess it's related to how the pace of our development has been getting faster and faster. There's probably a better way to say that.

This comment and subsequent discussion is very well articulated and I appreciate it greatly.

Facts

Brett is an annoying normie

agreed

Mouth of Sauron go brr

Hard disagree 😂 I love the extended cut as much as the next guy but I don’t think it’s the best way to view them for the first time. I think its better as a rewatch with bonuses

@@ethanfosterYT you right

I think Tolkien did it without intending to

And even more fascinating thing is - they exchanged only these words, but their friendship is the best in LOTR.

Legolas often mocks and gossips about other characters in elvish not realizing that Frodo is fluent in High Elvish. So, it's one of those awkward relationships where Frodo likes Legolas but is letting him slowly put his foot in his mouth. What makes it funny is that Legolas is a Wood Elf, so his elvish compared to Frodo's is like a redneck talking to the queen of England.

Agreed

Agreed! I read the books multiple times starting at age 10.

yeah, these movies are proof that it is possible for cinema to do books justice

@@johnjungkook2721 his son thinks they're an abomination.

I've always said this is a task that could not be done without flaw and things WERE left out but Jackson picked his battles in the smartest way possible and what we got was excellence. Perfection? Nope, but striving for that and only that would have been fruitless.

RoP is worse than the Hobbit movies: Change My Mind

@@mathnerd3364 no no your right, The Hobbit movies were just mindless cash grabs. Rings of Power was an attempt at ruining Tolkien's extraordinary fictional world. And when I mean "attempt," I mean no Tolkien fan or not was sold on it.

I see what you mean

While true in the movie adaptation, the archetypes are quite different in the original novel.

@@eschiedler that's true, and while both characterization are fantastic, the movies do such a good job at tastfully adapting the books

Also not often talked about is the bttf-trilogy

@@Emppu_T. Bttf is a bit of a slog
