"Easy Bro, he's like 5000 years old." You thought you were joking. You weren't.

It genuinely amazes me this man has managed to avoid some of the most common spoilers in pop culture history for this 80-YEAR-OLD STORY. This is gonna be a ride.

"This is the guy that my wife wanted to get whit instead of me? This is Orlando Bloom? tsc" 1 hour later to the actual Orlando Bloom character: "I think the archer might be the dopest one"

”Sam’s a scumbag” might be the most incorrect thing ever said in a reaction video ever haha

Hey Joey: If no one has told you yet, the extra hour or so of the Extended Editions are every bit worth it for the next two films. They contain some great bits of dialog/comedy and do a great job at fleshing out the story and providing a bit more context.

They get spared because Saruman specifically said “bring them (the halflings) to me alive and unspoiled”

3:50 "This put Infinity War to shame" Bro, just wait to see the other movies, they're NUTS!

The original Lord of the Rings books are the single most influential fantasy series ever written. Virtually every work of fantasy since takes some kind of inspiration from it. The whole elves and orcs and dwarves thing seems almost cliche these days, but Tolkien was the very first to do it. It was also long thought to be unfilmable. Peter Jackson deserves a lot of credit for taking this legendsry source material and creating an adaptation worthy of it.

Hey Joey! The trilogy "The Hobbit" is about Bilbo's adventure, thats the one with the dragon. It's pretty good too!

This is my all time favorite trilogy, I’m so excited for you to watch this!

The Hobbit is a triology showing the Adventure of Bilbo and how he got the ring.

What?! You’re watching this?! I’m here for it!

"there must be a movie that goes over bilbos story" oh boy do i have a movie for you lol

So a thing about Galadriel. She is one of the oldest elves to exist. She is a great sorceress, enhanced even beyond that with the power of one of three elven rings. She was tested by the one ring and the weird scene with her speech was her describing what she would be like if she took the one ring. She would become the new dark lord (queen), but she resisted the temptation, so she "passed the test". Galadriel is a real badass, one of my favorites in the books.

I saw this pop up on my homepage and i once i picked my jaw up i clicked

The first time that Frodo saw Arwen, seemed like a goddess because he was fading to the shadows, and someone inmortal like her looks like this in that sphere. When Aragorn saw her immediately, looked different, because she is like this in the mortal sphere.

VIdeo title should be "Man corrupted by t̶h̶e̶ r̶i̶n̶g̶ tiktok and memes finally watches some good content".

xD the call to the wife xD hahahaha! i'm dying xD

i was genuinely so pleasantly surprised to see this "hes watching movies now???" a hobby of mine as a long time lotr fan is to watch reactions of it LOL never gets old! hope you enjoy yourself with this one

Fun Fact: The reason why Legolas (the arrow guy) looks saddened but confused is because he and his people are immortal. Everyone he has ever known and cared for as a friend or family can't die. He bonded with Boromir (Gondor guy) and considered him a friend and ally, so when Boromir died, Legolas didn't know how to react or what to do cause he had never experienced Death in such a finality.

Hey bro, first time here, loved your reaction. Ill have a look through some of your past content. LOTR was filmed here in New Zealand, All the landscapes you will see are here in NZ.

- "Is that why people be saying my precious? I thought that's what you say when you pet a cat" LOL We do say it when we pet a cat, and with the Gollum's voice 😅😅😅

In case no one else has commented on this, the dates in this movie can be confusing. There have been three ages of Middle Earth. The battle at Mount Doom happened about 3000 years before this movie is set. It was at the end of the second age. The movie takes place in the 3rd age (about 3018-3019). To make things more confusing, there's an entirely different calendar in the Shire because hobbits prefer to remain separate from the big folk, so they have different chronological markers. By Shire Reckoning, it is the year 1419. Don't worry, you're not quite as big a nerd as I am, but you're on your way, my friend!

First person I've ever seen assume Gandalf is 9 feet tall and the race literally called hobbits are normal size.

I have never laughed this much during a LotR commentary, this was gold 😂 so glad that you managed to add so much commentary and hilarity while still clearly appreciating the elements of the film and picking up on so many little details. Amazing, I can't wait for the next reactions! 🤍

3:56: Elrond is the commander of the noldar elves.. he's giving battle commands. Tangado haid! Leithio i philinn! 'Hold positions! Release the arrows!'

The "EPIC BATTLE" is delivered in The Two Towers brother.

"Looks like such a simple wedding band" well, it kinda is XD It's been a while since I watched the extra behind the scenes stuff, but someone on the set let them use his wedding band during rehearsal, and they liked the way it looked for The Ring lol

Pipeweed isn't "weed" as in marijuana; it's always struck me as akin to tobacco.

Knowing what we know about the origin of Gandalf and the Balrog, the Balrog basically being unknowingly called Gandalf's ex made me snort very loud.

“Easy, he’s like 5,000 years old”. Actually Gandalf is about 55,000 years old. The wizard are something else from an earlier age. They were angelic spirits created by Eru at the beginning of time.

T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor I met a girl so fair But Gollum and the evil one Crept up and slipped away with her ~Led Zeppelin

"My cousin Balin would give us a royal welcome" "Is she hot?"

i wish i could watch this for the first time again, most iconic trilogy ever made

I hope you realize what you've done. You've set a precedent, that if we pressure you enough you'll watch movies. You'd better be ready to watch lots of movies from now on.

"Is there a movie that shows young Bilbo and his adventure??" My good man, there are three!

This trilogy holds up after 20 years. Its a masterpiece. Waiting for movie 2.

Great reaction cuz! All the right questions: "Do they have wi-fi at the Prancing Pony"? Gotta luv it.

Every person watching LotR has a moment where they go from "Hah, this is a fun movie" to "Oh, this is a masterpiece of cinema". The Death of Boromir is where it happened to me, first. I'm glad to see you watching and reacting to this movie (and hopefully the sequels), and I hope you love it as much as it's come to deserve. (Also, you could check out one of the dozen or so songs metal and rock bands have written based on the story afterwards.)

Gimli, (Jon Rys Davies) is a long time actor, most notably recognized for his role in the 1981 film, Raiders of the last Ark, Indiana Jones movie. (Plus he returned in the 3rd installment as well)

10年ぐらい前に吹き替えで見た時より本家の声の方が合ってて面白かった!! それにしてもLORD OF THE RINGSを見ていないのは意外でした! 海外ではSTAR WARSの次に見られてると、どこかのサイトで書かれていたので...

34:22 " maybe i should just stfu and see what happens " is the best :D

This is so funny, I was just thinking about lotr and thinking I should rewatch it so this is perfect.

You know, knowing that Joey is a music producer, I know he's gonna mention the soundtrack and loves it ;D

Considering these are over 20 years old they still hold up better than some of today’s effects. They are legit magic from casting to film work. We all wanted to go drink and smoke in the shire when I was in high school and these came out. Lol also, amazing reaction! The extended versions are definitely worth watching. Can’t wait to see the next reaction!

My man I don’t know how you feel about dating older women, but Galadriel is LITERALLY older than the SUN and the MOON. Plus, she’s married. 😂😂😂

I first read these stories back in 1976 when I was in 5th and 6th grade. When these movies came out it was a fervent prayer that was answered for me. Even though I knew what was going to happen, the death of Boromir still got to me. In fact it still does to this day. I saw the midnight preview showing of the films. Again, I know what's going to happen, but when Sam and Frodo head into Mordor and it says "the end" I was devastated. We would have to wait a whole year to see the next film. It was maddening. It is good to see you join the ranks. You can skim the surface of fandom or sink right in and uncover layer after layer of lore. It's all good. Move at your own speed.

Hoping to see Joey react to Howard Shore's scores of LOTR

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. (Essentially the land that be untouched by Morgoth and where the holy ones still yet reside.) Back then, the world was not illuminated by the sun&moon, (only 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 & fruit as they were basically killed by Melkor when he struck them with his Lance and Ungoliant the primordial Eldrich Terror vampirized the life force of the two trees. Ungoliant she was named by the Eldar/Elves). It is said that Galadriel's hair had enmeshed some of the shine and power of those two trees within her tresses. Her uncle Fëanor, who was a great king of the Elven people after his father Finwë was slain by Morgoth(Formally known as Melkor). Fëanor arguably was their greatest craftsman and warrior to ever live, asked if she could 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, and 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 Ñoldor, 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)

"Commander we can't hear you over the loud music" that line threw me xDD

All 3 of the Lord of the rings movies and all 3 of the Hobbit series as well were all filmed in New Zealand. Between the 2 trilogies, Peter Jackson built the whole Hobbiton set with actual hobbit hole homes, and an Inn at the Prancing pony ect. for New Zealand to use as a tourist attraction. You can go an visit Hobbiton now and take tours of the village.

The Shire is located in the subcontinent Eriador in the Mid-South. It was given to the Hobbits by the High Kingdom of Arnor 400 year before it fell. It was a region of fertile farmlands that was depopulated by war and disease. The only condition was that the Hobbits maintained The Great East-West Road and its bridges that ran through The Shire's Northern border. At the time of this Middle Earth story, the end of the third age, the Hobbits have lived there 1500 years. As their calendar counts Year One from the founding of The Shire, and the common calendar counts the defeat of Sauron, 3,000 years previously, as Year One of the third age, the differences are not hard to figure out. Hobbits are counted as offshoots of Men, but their lifecycle is different. They aren't considered adults until the age of 33, and while it's not unusual for them to live past 100, they become frail mentally and physically as they age as Men do. Hobbits don't need shoes. The skin on their feet is tough and leathery. The hair on the tops of their feet keeps them warm. Two other things Hobbits are known for are being incredibly stealthy and good marksmen. You won't see them if they see you first, but if they aim a rock at you it'll connect. Bilbo and Frodo share a birthday. Frodo turned 33 the day of the Party. Bilbo had put off traveling until Frodo could own Bag End free and clear. The movies don't show the timeline because it would have confused the audience, but Gandalf, who was not in Middle Earth at the time the rings were made, spent 17 years learning about the ring and how it came into Gollum's possession. Frodo was 50 when he followed Bilbo to Rivendell, the Hidden Valley of Lord Elrond Half-Elven. Because he and his children are a mixture of Elves, Men, and a Devine foremother who took the form of an Elven Queen they have the very rare choice to become mortal if they wish. Because Frodo possessed the ring he still appears to be a young adult Hobbit, just out of his tweens ( yes, Tolkien invented the word ). Samwise Gamgee's family has worked for the Baggins family for three generations as gardeners and domestic servants. He's the youngest child of the Old Gaffer. Bilbo helped raise him and taught him how to read. Sam was in his mid-thirties when he left The Shire with Frodo. Merry Brandybuck was 37 and Pippin Took was 29 and still an adolescent. The were from the two most prominent families of The Shire but didn't hesitate to help their cousin and friend Frodo when they found he was going on a dangerous journey with only Sam for company. This is all spoiler free and help you plug into who and what The Hobbits are. But you can know all of their ways in a month and after a hundred years they can still surprise you.🧓🎭

As someone who has both read the books and watched the movies (all of them, including The Hobbit movies and all extended editions) it is VERY worth it to watch all of them in their extended forms. It gives you more detail and further explanations that will help things make more sense as you go on. Magic and magical creatures, Light and Dark, are REAL in this world and takes place in the era around the Bronze Age.

I have another one: - But something happened then that the ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature... - A GINGER JAJAJAJAJA I can't 😂😂😂

Well hobbits aren't even considered adults until they turn 33 so they live pretty long lives. Pippin (the one always causing trouble) is only 28/29 so he's still considered a kid. BTW..Orlando Bloom is the elf Legolas. You know..the blonde with the arrows.😉 Hobbits don't need shoes. 😂😂😂😂 The big orcs are called Uruk-Hai and Saruman told them to bring him the halflings (hobbits) alive and unspoiled. They have no idea which one has the ring.

In the 70's everything was "Groovy and Far-out" that faded away. In the 80's it was "Rad and Tubular" nobody says that anymore. I can't wait until the same thing finally happens to "Dope and Bro".

The elvish songs of lamentation were for Gandalf when they arrived in Lothlórien. So the song you hear is literally for him whilst being a theme for the movie itself. The only excerpt from these songs is "Mithrandir, Mithrandir, O Pilgrim Grey!" This was expanded & set to music by Philippa Boyens & Howard Shore, respectively, for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It was sung in the said film by Elizabeth Fraser in the track Lothlórien. Notable about this song is that it assumes that the elves of Lothlórien were aware that Gandalf was an incarnate Maia. This is debatable. As well, the lyrics ask "What drove you to leave/That which you loved?". This suggests that Gandalf was well aware that he would fall in Moria. Other debatable verses include the claims that Gandalf was the wisest of the Maiar, and that with him the Flame of Anor would leave the world (assuming that it and he were one, or he was the only wielder of the Flame). (English comes after the Quenya) * The first part is in Quenya: A Olórin i yáresse Mentaner i Númenherui Tírien i Rómenóri Maiaron i Oiosaila Manan elye etevanne Nórie i melanelye? - The Second part is in Sindarin: Mithrandir, Mithrandir, A Randir Vithren ú-reniathach i amar galen I reniad lín ne mór, nuithannen In gwidh ristennin, i fae narchannen I lach Anor ed ardhon gwannen Caled veleg, ethuiannen. * Olórin, who once was... Sent by the Lords of the West To guard the lands of the East Wisest of all Maiar What drove you to leave That which you loved? Mithrandir, Mithrandir O Pilgrim Grey No more will you wander the green fields of this earth Your journey has ended in darkness. The bonds cut, the spirit broken The Flame of Anor has left this World A great light, extinguished. And Since Gandalf is tied to the story and fate of the elves as he is one of the Maiar spirits is that when one perishes it tends to be a big deal when something like one “dies” if you will. Spending thousands of years together even in his current embodiment is still greatly impactful upon his death.

Gandalf is a magical dude indeed, he's a wizard, he said it himself when he first talked to Frodo - though he's not a wizard in the most commonly held definition today, he doesn't just conjure things out of the air or anything. Also, they smoke tobacco, not cannabis, it's how the author wrote it in the books. And it's not set in the 1300s of our time, it's in an entirely different era altogether - while the author intends the story to be set several thousands of years in the remote past, there is no precise attempt to place it in a specific time.

For dragon, you'll have to watch the prequel. That was young Bilbo's adventure. For trolls turned into stone... ditto. "The Hobbit" was the book Tolkien wrote before Lord of the Rings, and is largely the backstory for finding the ring and everything.

I'm 3 weeks late and there's no part 2 yet??? 🤦‍♂️🤬

“Check your ring” fantastic!

I really enjoy the riff heavy, extended reaction- some people might complain/comment about not being more "respectful" during the reaction but you're very clearly having a good time and paying good attention- and coincidentally a lot of your jaggs have a MST3k-ish feel which I vibe with as a lifelong MST fan going back over 30 years. Keep up the goods dude, subbed. I'll hold off on the lore comments until I see where youre at with questions after you finish this one.

one of the best things about Lord of the Rings reactions is reading the trivia in the comment section

The Archer (Legolas) is Orlando Bloom 😊

Imna simple guy. I see a new LOTR reaction I watch. Love seeing new ppl enjoy one of the best parts of my childhood. Edit:Def do extended for the next 2 films.

OMG YES!

Lhang - name of The great elvish swords you see in the prologue being used in that frontline ebbing flowing strike formation tactic. This shows the skill of these warriors. Some are hundreds to thousands of years old. Their timeless prowess was caught on film perfectly. Awesome right? noun: cutlass, sword Cognates: ᴹQ. lango “broad sword; prow of a ship” ✧ Ety/LAG Derivations ᴹ√LAG “*cut” ✧ Ety/LAG Phonetic Developments Development Stages lhang [laŋgo] > [laŋg] > [l̥aŋg] > [l̥aŋ] ✧ lang (sword), plural> [Laing] lanc: [throat] (hinting at being deadly throat cutters when one knows how to wield these specific elvish blades against heavily armoured orcs with keen precision!) (neck), pl. lainc, coll. pl. langath. Note: homophones mean ”naked” and also ”sharp edge, sudden end, brink. So they are blades that “bring enemies to the sudden brink of death” in a sense.

“I shall NOT be Dark. (All evil) will despair”, The elves (Galadriel especially is one of the few remaining that existed before the sun & moon. They pre-existed day & night.) How utterly, completely terrifying do you think it would be for your whole world to irrevocably change in a matter of an hour? For the thousands of years of (what you would come to know as twilight to be abruptly ended in a profundity of genuinely painful light and an infinity of colour? Of the joy, wonder and terror of distinguishing the difference between green and blue for the very first time in your whole life?) She is talking about the immediate, majestic sublimity of reality that one experiences in it's totality for the very first time. How on earth could that not be so terrifying as to threaten one's sanity? Galadriel with the ring would be exactly as beautiful and horrifying. I personally would not know whether to weep bitterly and perfectly, or claw my eyes out through the sheer, unutterable terror of her being in such a circumstance. But know this: she was showing Frodo what would happen if someone else got the ring. She wasn’t tempted at all. Gandalf tells. Galadriel shows. See the difference now. Two sides of the same coin. Both were needed. (But yes there was a more fluid beauty full of colour before the rise of the sun. Her uncle, Fingolfin, whilst in middle earth beheld the first rising of the sun and to see this wide field before him in even more definition than before while he was in Middle Earth. This was also the beginning of the dominion of men.) - • “Beautiful & Terrible as the dawn” Galadriel was quite correct to call the morning and night both “beautiful and terrible…”. In truth the physical and metaphysical natures of morning and night were both by turns beautiful and terrible. First the morning. Physically the morning is the result of the golden fruit of Laurëlin, transformed into a vessel by Aulë’s craftsmen, hallowed by Varda and piloted by the fiery Maiarin spirit Arien. The sun was so terrifyingly powerful that its radiance instilled fear even into Melkor’s heart and defied the assault of his minions. She literally gave up her physical form to take her original form and enveloped the sun; becoming its flames we see today. Physically the sun is a beautiful golden orb yet it is simultaneously terrifying in its intensity and cannot be observed directly for more than an instant without pain. Metaphysically the morning is beautiful because it diminishes the evil power of those creatures who haunt the night, gives strength to the righteous and because it illuminates the serene loveliness of Valinor and Middle-earth. Metaphysically the morning is terrible because it obscures the light of the stars and sheds light on the ugly reality of Arda Marred, whose very substance is corrupted by the power of Melkor. Last the night. The night is the Void surrounding the globe of Arda, which existed even before the creation of the Ainur at the beginning of time itself. Physically the beauty of the night lies in the fact . Physically the terror of the night is that it conceals the beauty of Arda and limits the senses of the elves and gives strength to the creatures of evil such as orcs, trolls and the Ringwraiths. Metaphysically the night is beautiful because it is during the hours of darkness that the stars of Varda, the most beloved creations for the elves, shine most brightly. Metaphysically the terror of the night for elves, who are irretrievably bound to the world of Arda, is that the Void represents the interstellar coldness which is the prison of Morgoth. Terrible in its more original archaic form didn’t always mean “bad” (the sun stuff was to move it into a place where Melkor couldn’t go by virtue of how the Valar and Maiar are bound to the world until it’s ending; (which isn’t the true end either. It’s deep stuff. There ends up another song of creation which all kindreds take part in and working with the powers of that long ago past of our world to rebuild everything. Even the Mountains too, healing it after Dagor Dagorath, Also known as the final battle, the worlds ending. Becoming the greater version of the original form before Melkor’s discord into the first music and so forth which dictated eventually what all ended up ensuing when they entered the world the first time which also was interesting because when they entered it after seeing the complete version it hadn’t been done yet so that was millions of years of work which lead to Middle Earth and the other lands being the remnants of it. Including Valinor being the only remnant of an even older world. At that time of building and tending to the world when the world was young.)

the most dope reaction man what i ever see ! And i really mean it! cannot wait you to see other two ! But definetly try extended version because it will be more clear to you a lot parts! Great reaction and vid man! 💯🦾

This is one movie split into three parts. 1 book split into three. But these published works that got book of the century literally have 25 books of epic material. Fully fledged languages, etymologies of why and how languages changed and even anthologies. Tolkien was truly a man of great honour.

Funny that you brought up if Pippin was from money, because he was.

“Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.” These words were disturbing to any Elves who heard them as well as made them gravely ill, if it doesn’t kill you or make you go deranged first which as for most of mankind may have more dire effects, as any words of that "Black Speech". The inscription is in black speech. Twisted and cursed elvish and Adúnaic but prime black speech is twisted Elvish. When Gandalf recited them at the Council of Elrond, the sky darkened and the Elves trembled and covered their ears. This was the first time words of that language had been spoken in Rivendell. Roughly translated, these words mean: “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.” At some point following the gifting of the rings, a verse was written and kept as part of the Elven-lore as a way to make sure everyone remains vigilant since he could always find other ways to interact with the world and deceive someone into toppling the entire world, what's left of it.: (Full poem inaction below) ☆"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie." ☆ ◇Oddly enough: From the poem, we get the numbers, coming from the number of rings, 3, 7, 9, 1. Now, if these numbers are flipped, we get the year 1973, THE YEAR IN WHICH HE DIED!◇ ((Mordor {BlackLand}wasn’t always what it was either, it was given this name after it became this way. Let’s just say it was once a VERY beautiful land where elves lived and then I believe certain clans of mankind later on. ❤. You’ll find no work of art is as detailed and endless as the works of veteran and Oxford professor named John Ronald Raul Tolkien. ❤

“I shall NOT be dark, all EVIL will despair” part 2 - All creatures whose flesh are nourished by the matter of Arda have a tendency towards Melkor AKA Morgoth, for greater or lesser. Since Melkor poured his evil power into the very existence and essence of the world(Morgoth’s Ring” book explains a lot including how and when he put a portion of his remaining power into the earth itself. Sure, Galadriel was born in the Undying Lands where there was supposed to be no evil (souls of the Elves are greatly less subject to making faulty decisions), but Galadriel & the rest of her father's kin were directly targeted by the Evil Lord himself. Melkor corrupted a decent portion of the Noldor, basically telling them things along the lines of “My Valarin kin are cooping you all up in Valinor.”, which wasn’t their ancestral homeland to begin with, like Middle Earth was, Some were affected little, most were affected to greater degrees, and Galadriel was the least affected woman by the lies of Melkor, which were “sweet but poisoned honey" as she’d call his words. Her natural pious tendency towards goodness & kindness as shown by her ability to read the hearts of everyone and all living beings around her which aids her to provide what anyone truly needs. Due to the magic bleeding from the world as the ages went on; thanks to Morgoth’s Ring poisoning the earth long ago; lead to a what if scenario in her mind as she’d be the only living creature left with the skills & power to even use the ring. She didn’t need her ring at all to block him out of her realm telepathically as well as read his mind from afar without him knowing. But there is a difference between good people who are a bit morally challenged and the evil people. The evil folk act upon their impulses and unlawful desires, while the good folk overcome such flaws within themselves (and for some not always they can masterfully do this). Galadriel WOULD NEVER listen to Melkor and tread the path of toxic pride and ambition. Galadriel has a Fëa spirit that’s only grown larger as the ages passed on and on. Enough to channel into an effect that threw down fortress walls, without tiring her at all. And with that much Fëa, she is capable of holding her own against Maiar for a good long while, much like her brother Finrod did against Sauron, or her uncle Fëanor did against Balrogs. Fëanor effectively lost all claim to the crown when he rebelled and dragged his entire house to Middle Earth. Where he promptly died a heroic death after slaying several Balrogs at the Dagor-nuin-Giliath; The Elves first encountered Lord Of Balrogs named Gothmog in the Dagor-nuin-Giliath; (meaning “the battle fought under stars”) before the first rising of the Moon. In that battle, Fëanor's fury had caused him to draw forward of the main force of the Noldor, and so he came upon Gothmog with only a small guard left around him that rushed so deep into enemy territory. Fëanor slayed 2 or 3 balrogs at once & Gothmog slayed him after one bound him suddenly with its primordial flame whip when he was supposed to have an uninterrupted “one on one” duel with Gothmog but one wasn’t wanting to play fair. But he was fatally wounded and so his sons and host moved him away to a safe place where his body burned up from the fires of his own spirit. Even with a lesser ring like Nenya, Galadriel had enough of a boost in her Fëa(spirit) , that she could sustain an unassailable magical realm against Maiar and virtually anything on Middle-Earth. Only problem was when Sauron wore the one ring, she had to take off Nenya, and had to lose that Maia level Fëa spirit from the modernly termed “boosted power up” With the one ring, Galadriel would have such a boost in her Fëa spirit, that she’d literally become stronger than the foundations of the Earth. Due to Galadriel’s immense native Fëa, she was prone to a super healthy pride and a small lust for dominion/ but not domination, her goodness kept this pride from going over to the dark side. Galadriel at heart was extremely good so she’s definitely not evil. She never once is called queen or desires to be called such a thing, she and her husband Celeborn became the wiseman and wisewoman of that realm; after the previous elven lord Amroth died and his wife Nimrodel disappeared ontop of the fact Amroth’s Successor later died as well in the “Last Alliance”, (same battle shown in the prologue to Fellowship Of The Ring), All Evil Despairs at her presence let alone hearing her name on the wind. The Nazgûl themselves avoid her realm every chance they get to the point of choosing to go the long way around for over 100 miles just to avoid her. (So she’s definitely scary to foul entities that have turned away from Eru Îlluvatar the one AllFather.) She’s a totally good character. Aragorn even says to the Fellowship as they enter Lothlórien, “There is in her and this land no evil, unless a man bring it hither himself. Then let him beware!” If you’re going by her portrayal in the movies, you might think she has an evil element to her character, but that came from Peter Jackson’s portrayal of the addictive, coercive power of the Ring. When Frodo offered her the Ring, it presented her with visions of herself as the all-powerful Goddess of Middle-Earth. Luckily, she was smart & intuitive enough to realize that the Ring was totally evil, and despite the best of intentions, it would have turned her evil in the end-but she still would have appeared to be beautiful and good. I don’t agree with Jackson’s “drowned Galadriel” portrayal of her being tempted by the Ring-I think she’d have appeared as a supernatural being of divine beauty, and her regular appearance was close to that already, but how do you show that in a movie? Apparently, in her youth in Valinor, she was somewhat of a rebel, but that’s not necessarily evil. She certainly could have fallen into the same trap as her uncle Fëanor did, of thinking that everyone was entitled to her opinion-but she kept her ego in check. (If you’re not sure what I’m referring to there; please read The Silmarillion and “Unfinished Tales”.) No matter how noble her reason was to use the ring as a last resort, especially if said fellowship fell off the “edge of the knife” as she called it. she had a change of heart which happened in the middle of talking to Frodo. Galadriel left Valinor(The Undying Lands) for a reason - and it was different from most of the other elves. She wasn’t with her uncle Fëanor, who wished to make war against Morgoth and retrieve the Silmarils - she was not wishing to go to war, and had no interest in the Silmarils in which Melkor stole from Fëanor which was the surviving light of the two trees of Valinor within them that the only Fëanor; the master of all elven smiths could have accomplished but it could not be done a second time as is any pure creation of one’s heart, especially in regards to the elves and Valar alike. Though she traveled with her other uncle, Fingolfin, her goals were not aligned completely with his either despite her full support of her noble and regal uncle Fingolfin in general. - They both wished to keep an eye on Fëanor and make sure the Noldor were in good hands - Galadriel wasn’t interested in Fëanor and wanted her own realm. After spending some time in Doriath, Galadriel and her husband Celeborn passed to the east out of Beleriand and passed eastward through Eriador and over the Misty Mountains; to where she founded her own realm in what became renamed as Lothlórien. Her motivation and goal was to preserve her realm, possibly at any means necessary. With Sauron’s return in the Third Age, Galadriel was forced to ask herself how far she would go to preserve her realm. If Frodo failed, she must forsake her own ring & her realm. If he succeeds, her ring will lose power and her realm will fade. Would she seize the ring, taking Sauron’s power for her own, to save her realm? She decided she would not. She had decided to “test” the Fellowship, to find some flaw that would allow her to justify seizing the ring, and she did find a flaw - in herself. She stated to Frodo, that by telling her that he would offer her the ring if she asked, that she had come to test his heart, but found that he was testing hers. She had a change of heart, she would pass into the West, and remain Galadriel. Which one is better? Being born completely good and living your whole life without any evil inside, or having a character growth ?

"Is there a movie that shows a young Bilbo?" Yes, as a matter of fact there is. Three, in fact. They're the Hobbit series. And no, it's not a spin-off. The book actually came before Lord of the Rings was published as three books.

The power scale is complicated in this world. Sauron, Saruman, and Gandalf are all the same type of being but the two wizards are basically nerfed in the mortal world (long story and that's an oversimplification). The Balrog is also kind of the same as them in a way. In short Gandalf dies fighting a creature only a little bit less powerful than Sauron. And it's not in the movies at all because this story comes from other books by the same author, but Sauron is just the strongest minion of the actual main bad guy of this universe.

^^ Truly enjoyed your reactions. There were some pretty hilarious comments. I loved all the modern day references and jokes. Keep it up!

Gotta love, seeing the young puppies discover such a great story

“Nîn o Chithaeglir lasto beth dhaer; Rimmo nîn Bruinen dan in Ulaer.” This “spell” is in Sindarin so it Remains in true Tolkiens spirit! Despite the exact line was only for the movies - English : “Waters of the Misty Mountains, hear the word of power; Rush, waters of Bruinen, against the Ringwraiths!” Lady Arwen calls upon the powers of the Misty Mountains and the river Bruinen to rise up as a defense against the evil Ringwraiths. It is a moving reminder of how the Elves once lived in harmony with the lands and waters, able to communicate with spirits of nature. Even now, glimpses remain of their ancient abilities, though fading as the Third Age comes to a close. Thank you for sharing that connection - it is always a delight when lessons in Sindarin reveal deeper insights into the history and cultures of Middle-Earth. - “Waters of the Misty Mountains, listen to the great word, flow waters of Loudwater, against the Ringwraiths.” The wraiths are afraid of the water itself which contains the song of creation of the entire world. All water does. Same as our world which is our Midgard. They don’t have physical bodies so if they entered the water they’d have to essentially be reconstituted either by Sauron himself or some sort of Orc or black Númenorean shaman or they’ll take some time to reform themselves as the fan never have a body. They are passing into Elrond's domain also which is super sacred and highly sanctified and hallowed ground filled with the pristine energies of the old world. Where the very air you breath is electrified, full of life. The trees gleam with more brightness and so forth, they commune with the elves in many ways and even several men who have the sensibilities to do so. The land around Rivendell is infused with the magic of Vilya, Elrond's Ring of Power which is why the elven domains (Rivendell and Lothlorien) still have the magic that is mostly lost from the rest of Middle Earth. They fear Elrond and the power of his ring so they hesitate but ultimately continue. I think Arwen is literally calling on the Bruinen river to help her repel the wraiths.

This man over here speaking ill of Samwise the brave.. Just wait Joey.. just wait..

Orlando Bloom is the blonde archer elf.

1:03:29 I’m honestly shocked at how many reactors have this response, as if they aren’t up two flights of stairs being shot at by orcs. How exactly were they supposed to help?

Extended scenes at risk of being missed: 1• Frodo/Sam's first meeting with the elves, providing context for Valinor and the elves journey there, as referenced throughout the films and seen at the end of the Return of the King(connects to the passing of the elves in the beginning of their leaving the shire when Frodo and Sam are near the Old Forest by the Shire which leads them to eventually bumping into Merry And Pippin! (An epic scene with Gandalf in Rivendell was also removed as well.) 2. Aragorn singing the Lay of Luthien, providing a parallel between the events of the Beren and Luthien and Aragorn's relationship with Arwen of which every reactor channel I’ve seen makes the connection and it pulls them into a deeper understanding of their relationship every single time. 3. Aragorn kneeling at his mother's grave, giving him some additional backstory for the viewer. 4. Gandalf explaining to Frodo about the corruptive power of the Ring, and how it will strain the Fellowship from the inside, foreshadowing Boromir's downfall. 5. Sam singing a lament for Gandalf, providing more emotional weight to Gandalf's death, referencing the start of the movie and strengthening the connection between him and the Hobbits ( also highlights Tolkien's love of song and poetry in the books). 6. Galadriel giving the gifts to the Fellowship, providing context for their appearance in later films, as well as drawing a parallel between Gimli's gift and the events of the Silmarillion (Fëanor & Galadriel). That’s just the beginning. Including several removed scenes between Aragorn & Galadriel and Aragorn with her husband Celeborn! 7• also the opening explaining Hobbits & their culture to the viewers, so they have a better understanding of these peoples we will be following which also was the direct full chapter called Concerning Hobbits.

"Like, what if I go overseas or something?" (Said at 30:15.) They actually talk about maybe doing this in the book, but eventually decided it wasn't feasible.

Someone is going for the record of most annoying remarks while watching the lord of the rings.

Hi from Chile. N°5 comment. I hope you injoy the journey

1:22:51 "The friendships - more like bonds - that have been created through this movie are DOPE!" Fun fact... the actors who played the members of the Fellowship all got matching tattoos of the elvish word for nine. Except John Rhys-Davies. His body double got it instead because he didn't feel like he earned it for how much work the body double did compared to him.

Don’t worry we get to Mordor in movie 2. OR DO WE??

(Great video my friend.) The current ages of the characters: Frodo Baggins is 53. Samwise Gamgee is 38. Meriadoc Brandybuck (Merry) is 36. Peregrin Took (Pippin) is 28. Gandalf (Olòrin) - is 15,000 (in his current form. Aragorn is (won’t say, you’ll find out). Legolas is 2,931. Gimli is 139. Boromir son of Denethor II is 41! Elves aged differently than men and dwarves. They did not suffer from old age or disease, and their lives were not limited by a fixed number of years. Instead, they aged very slowly, remaining youthful and vigorous for much longer than mortals. Though they could voluntarily leave their bodies and the ultimate thing that can kill them is grief or Sorrow that’s palpable enough for them to just not wish to live anymore. Here are the ages of some of the main Elves of the Third Age, as of the War of the Ring: 1. Elrond Half-elven - over 8,586 while his daughter is 3,777 old! 2. Galadriel - around 20,000(180.000 in solar human years [1 elf year is one lifetime of man] but time is counted, felt & experienced very differently before the birth of the sun and moon. ❤) 3. Celeborn - 20,000; (he may have been alive before her birth or around the same time as his lineage that he lived amongst his forefathers and kin might suggest he is older but they are both very ancient.) 4. Glorfindel (replaced scenes with Arwen in the movies but it helped prop up Aragorn’s Film character progression. I still think they could have incorporated them both in the scenes somehow and included the other important stuff that went on in that forest meeting Glorfindel and his company of elves)- he’s over 2,000 (although he had been re-embodied after dying in the First Age which means his Fëa {spirit} is far older than 2000.) 5. Thranduil - over 8000, (as he was born in the First Age and lived in Doriath with his father Oropher; Thranduil is also the father of Legolas. (As Haldir mentioned him when speaking to Legolas in Lothlòrien during the first movie’s extended scene. He shares the same kindred elven clan as to Celeborn(Galadriel’s husband). It's worth noting that Elves could choose to die voluntarily, usually when they grew weary of life or when they had fulfilled their purpose in the world. However, their spirits would then depart to the Halls of Mandos and could eventually be re-embodied in a new body I meant to add that Frodo was 51 when he left due to the whole Gandalf coming back to the shire after many years. that explains why his youthful appearance didn’t change much throughout the entire film!

I wish you could have seen the extended version of this movie…. After the prologue, Bilbo spends 5-10 minutes explaining Hobbit culture. It helps to understand that they are “small folk” with simple pleasures, which is why they laugh a lot.

you should also watch the hobbit too i love lord of the rings!

Gandalf - talks about being a wizard Joey - is Gandalf magical? Me - bruh.

Interesting thing about wizards in this world is that even though they look old, they don't get weaker with age.

Sam’s even better in the books. All the hobbits are. Way more sensible and intellectual. Merry and pippin even learn a lot about the elves via many books including those written by Bilbo. Even knew about the stories about the rings of power and The One. ❤ “he’d jump into the mouth of a dragon to keep mr Frodo safe” - about Sam!

Worst Lord of the rings reactions. Likes the sound of his voice to much and feels like he needs to say something every second.

What happened to you in the thumbnail? Looks like you witnessed someone doing gymnastics and they broke their leg, and their bone was sticking out.

(No spoilers) - The movies are masterpieces but they do Isildur some unintentional injustice. In the book he NEVER succumbs to the ring, he instead spends his time being a fair ruler who practically gave power away to the people INSTEAD of being power hungry. He comes to realize that he is not powerful enough to truly bend the ring to his will. That it will eventually overcome him. Isildur resolves to give the ring to Elrond but is killed on the way to Rivendel. It's a tragic story of a man that tries to right his wrong but ultimately fails. In the books isildur literally repented and was about to bring the ring to Rivendell and apologize as he recognized it was beyond him even for a great numenorean connected to the faithful line of the mighty Elendil I preface the prologue & war, other depictions I LOVE, captured the themes WELL, the vibe of the whole trilogy! The significance of the duel between Elendil & Sauron was Nerffed; (He wasn’t some random old bloke in armour getting smacked around) This man was MIGHTY and gleaming with power which you’ll find out in the great videos you’ll soon react to with joy! * He and Gil-Galad; last true Elven King battled Sauron and slayed Sauron’s physical body and both died in the process. GilGalad was held high by the face for all free peoples to see as he then incinerated his bodily form to a crisp of ash! Isildur was part of the fight too but not as prominently and he just comes up to the body to cut the ring finger off and…. So one example is how easily Sauron is killed in the intro. * • He's set up as this super powered badass, but all you have to do is cut off his finger? That's not how it went down in the book, where the greatest man-king and the greatest elven-king had to double-team Sauron to strike down his body, but were killed in the effort (Isildur then cuts the ring from the corpse). Especially for elves the title of king has many meanings & by the Third Age there isn’t a population large enough to even attempt to such a thing as creating a unified kingdom, which would put a target on their backs, let alone many of them are beyond all of that anyway as it’s seen as doing more harm than anything good. * They also seen what happened when the elves fell upon the swords of their own hubris and passion no matter if it was for the right reasons some of the time. That it always ended up in some sort of tragedy which sometimes even damaged the earth itself. They had long known about what’s called the Long Defeat as ever since Morgoth’s marring of the land itself; pouring his remnants into it that caused the “magic” to slowly drain away from the land itself, which is sad because for ages several clans of elves were born there. even the greatest ancestors were “born” in middle earth awakening to the stars ! Many of who are left have accepted the next phase of their life which is to become councillors, healers and loremasters to those with the heart to listen and the desire to learn. But above all the guardians and custodians of several things and the world itself for as long as they can remain!❤ The elves “exist” as long as the world does. And Tolkien made it obvious in many ways that it’s our world as he restored Anglo Saxon culture/Mythologies and folklore, and their languages too alongside Irish, Welsh and Finnish mythologies too. Especially Norwegian(of which I am) This is what Amazon (the show that shall not be named) didn’t deliver either [[AKA the actual story which inspired everything we love into existence with games and movies and books and so forth. Skyrim, elder scrolls, oblivion, Diablo, and world of Warcraft and D&D. And Game Of Thrones was hugely inspired by Tolkien… yet as the godfather of everything and the heart of what caused many peoples lives to be saved cannot get the justice it deserves for adaptations? People literally conquered cancer because of the books and the trilogy, the books were read to their children for years. All 25 of them. The man was a hugely respected scholar and professor in the world. Translated ancient artifacts and hieroglyphs and petroglyphs and so forth for the government etc. (JRR Tolkien even rejected being recruited into the CIA several times & he wrote everyone by letter and referenced the dudes who came to him as “little boys who knew not what they got themselves into” which showed his fearlessness.). The readers of the trilogy that came out are who he writes back to despite always replying to everyone back and forth. Many people have shared the stories regarding these conversations which were past down throughout the family lines of the people who had a personal relationship with Tolkien which was hundreds of people when he was alive. Thousands. (Some are in video format too or happened to be shared later on in the video or comes up during a video about him and his work. Especially nowadays when many of us came out of the woodwork to defend professor Tolkiens legacy from amazons money grubbing hands and so forth. Giving many channels a new lease on life where some make Tolkien related content now amongst other things they create content wise.

Lol! There is a reason these movies are considered the best ever.

I'm 20 mins in and this Sam blasphemy must stop.

Were you born into money? Ref: Breakfast, 2nd., Breakfast, Elevensies, Luncheon, Afternoon Tea, Dinner, Supper, etc. etc. So yes, Hobbit society is definitely a highly structured class society and a reflection of the early twentieth century English society Tolkien was brought up in. The author, J.R.R. Tolkien, although orphaned at an relatively early age, was brought up by in the Roman Catholic tradition (to which his mother had converted and for which she had been disowned by her family) by an honorable individual who recognized his talent and ensured his education. J.R.R. graduated from Oxford College in 1916 with a degree in philology. He had unbelievable talent for languages and created all the various Elven, Dwarvish and other human languages such as "The common tongue", spoken in Middle Earth. Actually one of the reason that the creation of Middle-earth occurred was that after creating all these languages he had to create a place in which to people them. Soon after his graduation he listed in the English Army. He served on the Western Front during WWI including surviving the battle of the Somme, while most of his closest friend were killed. He suffered from a serious illness and he was evacuated back to England which obviously contributed to his ultimate survival. Because of the class structure of the time, his Army service was the first opportunity he had which exposed him directly to the English working class. As a young lieutenant, he was assigned a junior enlisted man to look after his personal needs as was customary for the time. It was during this time that he began writing his early notes for LOTR's. Tolkien was so impressed by the talent, dedication and loyalty of these young working class enlisted NCO's and men that he had contact with, that he incorporated these experiences into to the qualities of the Baggins's family gardener, and Frodo's his personal friend Samwise Gamgee. Frodo, Merry Brandybuck, and Pippin Took were all cousins to one degree or another and obviously "landed gentry". I mean if you don't have to work what else to do but play croquet et al., get into youthful mischief and eat. I'm sure Sam's family ate much more frugally. Cheers! ,
