Take your time, I would much rather wait a while for a good video, than watch a rushed one tomorrow. Love your reactions so far, especialy seeing how you are getting drawn into this mastepiece
@@hvitekristesdodi mean saruman also didnt know frodo had the ring right? thats why he wanted merry and pippin (or any hobbit travelling with the fellowship) brought to him alive. and up until saruman’s death he never gets to confirm whether merry or pippin has the ring. thats as far as i remember in the movies at least, correct me if im wrong.
@@24karatramen93 Saruman definitely knew it wasn’t Merry and Pippin that had it, he said so to Gandalf before he died, and he seemed to know that the plan was to destroy the ring
Not to be the "um aktshually" guy, but the issue was never Pippin's lack of awareness. Sauron believed that if Pippin was looking in Saruman's Palantir, then Pippin must be a captive of Saruman. He didn't realize the Palantir had been taken or Saruman defeated. The reason Sauron didn't learn anything from Pippin is because he's a sadistic tool and wanted to torture it out of him when when Saruman shipped Pippin off to Mordor with the next Nazgul.
@@geenahreads If you love that, you might also want to know that Christopher Lee was in the British SAS in WWII.... he corrected Peter Jackson by saying " Do YOU know what sound a man being stabbed in the kidney makes? I do...". Peter's reply was "OK... we'll shoot it your way...".
@@geenahreads , "am i missing something" : some say, from the lore, that smeagol was corruppted by the ring so fast because he was just , generally, of weak character....but a theory/point i like to add to all that is that the ring was super powerful in that moment because it had been stuck at the bottom of a river for 2500 years, so, the ring realized it had to make a move quick, & get out of there & take smeagol & deagol down as fast as possible...plus, for lack of a better term, it was most like "hungry" for a *host* , like a parasite would be...anyway, the ring opptunistically took its moment & got mobile again.
@@geenahreads dude played dracula, frankenstein's monster, a sith lord, saruman, a bond villain, and the head of the evil cult in the original wicker man. dude was THE movie villain. also, no worries on the re-upload. happy to give another view all over again. *shakes fist at copyright bots*
watching someone else experience these films for the first time is like reliving it. im glad youre finding the films immersive, entertaining, and moving.
Answer:Gandalf ONLY came back because he was allowed to, so he could finish his task that he faithfully had been doing. Saruman abandoned his task and pursued his own power, independence, and schemes. Because of this, there is no way the Valar would resurrect him.
Do what u must to get past the f-ing copyright gods, Gina. We've all seen the movies (it's even on Prime right now in the theatrical release!)! What we're here for is you, your sincerity&wit!!! Thanx
Smeagol was a murderer even before Gollum came to exist. That's the biggest difference between him and Bilbo, who had the ring for 60 years, and his biggest sin was not like his relatives.
The biggest difference is that Smeagol was an avg maybe even below avg hobbit. He like other creatures was easily ensnared by the ring from very beginning. While Bilbo was a brave and more pure soul. He could resist the ring better than most because he was a great person and Frodo followed in his footsteps.
This was Tolkien in helium. Quite the experience. It has been fun watching your visceral reactions to these characters. It is such a great film with moving parts. "Gondor calls for aid!" "And Rohan will answer" Oh man, I don't think they could make that scene any better
As you know by now, Sam gets his "happily ever after". The movie doesn't tell you that after a long happy life with Rosie, and after she passed away, Sam was allowed to sail to the west as a former ring bearer and reunite with Frodo and Gandalf.
@@geenahreads The end of the book is something else. "Then Frodo kissed Merry and Pippin, and last of all Sam, and went aboard; and the sails were drawn up, and the wind blew, and slowly the ship slipped away down the long grey firth; and the light of the glass of Galadriel that Frodo bore glimmered and was lost. And the ship went out into the High Sea and passed on into the West, until at last on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise. But to Sam the evening deepened to darkness as he stood at the Haven; and as he looked at the grey sea he saw only a shadow on the waters that was soon lost in the West. There still he stood far into the night, hearing only the sigh and murmur of the waves on the shores of Middle-earth, and the sound of them sank deep into his heart. Beside him stood Merry and Pippin, and they were silent. At last the three companions turned away, and never again looking back they rode slowly homewards; and they spoke no word to one another until they came back to the Shire, but each had great comfort in his friends on the long grey road. At last they rode over the downs and took the East Road, and then Merry and Pippin rode on to Buckland; and already they were singing again as they went. But Sam turned to Bywater, and so came back up the Hill, as day was ending once more. And he went on, and there was yellow light, and fire within; and the evening meal was ready, and he was expected. And Rose drew him in, and set him in his chair, and put little Elanor upon his lap. He drew a deep breath. ‘Well, I’m back,’ he said." Like Tolkien Sam had PTSD. Tolkien lost all but one of his friends in WW1. Sam being there for his family, being a rock for his community despite everything he suffered is a heroic act we can emulate unlike most fantasy. We aren't demigods like Gandalf or supernatural like the Elves or mythical heroes, but we can be good friends and be there for our loved ones even when we are hurt. With enough people being like Sam we can get the help we need as well. The Lord of the Rings will always be relevant for this reason. With other fantasy you are sad you can't be the wish fulfillment/escapism. With Lord of the Rings you want to be a better person and make a better world.
Fun Fact: The orc killing the man with a spear you called an "ugly little bxtch" at 19:04 was apparently made to look "similar" to Harvey Weinstein, as Peter Jackson wasn't too fond of him for obvious reasons :)
The reasons weren't obvious. Weinstein, being one of the original producers, wanted it to be a drawn down to a duology in order to save money and limit financial risks, but Jackson already had it planned out and that would essentially ruin it, so he was about to abandon it unless he found new backers, which he did in New Line Cinema
7:53 Gandalf was *sent* back, because he had unfinished business on behalf of those doing the sending. Saruman was *supposed* to be helping, but pretty much did the opposite. So Saruman *could* be sent back, but like, would *you* trust him to act on *your* behalf? Plus they pretty much already gave Gandalf his job when Gandalf came back as "the White" rather than "the Grey."
It's okay. As a child I saw these movies in theaters and have since had at least one rewatch of the series every year. I have found that I only cry MORE with each rewatch. Not all tears are an evil.
There are four ways to get into Mordor Tatts Daria. Through the Black Gate - very very difficult; Through Minas Morgul (the Dead City) then Cirith Ungol - extraordinary difficult; Up the secret stairs, through a dark tunnel then Cirith Ungol - very difficult but easier than the previous two paths; or if you have plenty of time, provisions and stealth you could possibly pass around Mordor and the Mountains of Shadow through Near Harad and Khand, entering and crossing Nurn. A long journey along which to remain undetected and well and allowing Sauron a long time to defeat the folk of the West.
19:03 Deep film lore dive: The ugly white orc general was designed after the infamous Harvey Weinstein by the production team, who even though wasn't infamous yet, he almost became the reason the trilogy was never made. If you go through the credits, when Weinstein's name is on, you can see a sketch of this orc behind it!!😂 Good one Peter, ahead of your time once again!
Denethor, the 26th ruling Steward of Gondor, was overpowered by his excessive bitterness towards Faramir because he had lost his spouse as a result of Faramir's birth. To make matters worse, Denethor was tormented by his eventual defeat against Sauron, a defeat that projected by Sauron by way of a seeing stone Denathor had access to (and obviously shouldn't have). So, his toxicity toward Faramir, his despair, and complete failure to lead is multifaceted.
Denethor in the movies is a whole different character though, so no backstory will explain how he acts in the movie, because it makes zero sense regardless.
@@MrRenanHappy Yes, but at least the creative license that was taken by PJ and his crew was mostly reasonable and understandable (relative to the demands of cinema). These liberties don’t (fortunately) ruin the overall lore of Middle Earth, like what Amazon did (and didn’t do) with Rings of Power, an absolute train wreck and spit in face to Tolkien and his fans.
@@gregw74 I'm tired of pretending that every creative decision by PJ is perfect. Denethor was overdone and cheesy, turned an otherwise deep character with lots of layers to a throw away character that is mostly irritating during his screen time. I dont give a shit that RoP is even worse, I'm not gonna excuse every PJ decision just because another adaptation was worse. We are not talking about RoP, so why are you bringing it up? That is annoying. I dont like what PJ did with Faramir, Treebeard, Theoden (in TT), Aragorn and Gimli, and I'm not gonna change my mind because it is what we got.
@@MrRenanHappy LOL, I was never asking you to change your mind and I certainly wasn’t making the claim that all of PJ’s creative liberties were good ones. However, he and his team had far more respect and love for Tolkien than Amazon has had… which is nothing short of a burning dumpster fire by comparison. How has what Amazon did not put you into an untreatable case of PTSD, especially given your unhealed trauma from PJ’s adaption? By the way, I think I you may have had too much Internet for today, maybe for the coming week. Get some well needed rest!
@@gregw74 PJ didnt have enough respect in some aspects of LotR and certainly was far from it in the dumpster fire that was The Hobbit. What I have a problem with is people excusing every decision he ever made and then trying to distract from the problem at hand. I like the LotR trilogy, but I really dislike a lot of decisions PJ made that is all. RoP and The Hobbit are shit. Both are extremely terrible adaptations, I dont care about the "disrespectful" angle, I just dont like them as adaptations. Christopher Tolkien is whose opinion I would have actually listened in regards to disrespectful and when he was alive, he disliked both PJ's trilogies.
I also get emotional during the lighting of the beacons and seeing the horses running/charging. I think it's because they're like symbols of defiance and bravery against the evil forces of this world, and it's always great seeing the forces of good standing up to evil.
I have to say the skin him alive, poor acid over him and hang him up by his toes is one of the more vicious and creative torture techniques I've ever heard lol. Another great reaction! Can't wait for part two!
I just want to say how much I enjoyed watching your journey in these movies. LOTRs is my favorite movie series and some of my favorite books and I am always thrilled when new people get to experience what I hold dear. I am excited to see what you think of the books and cannot wait for part two!
Sir Christopher Lee, RIP. He truly lived an incredible life and was the only cast member who actually met Tolkien. There's also a funny story about filming this film, in which Peter Jackson came up and told Lee what he sounds he wanted Saruman to make after being stabbed in the back and Lee replied, "That's not the sound a person whose been stabbed in the back makes." Amongst the things Lee did was serve in the O.S.S./RAF Intelligence in WWII, so Jackson just left it to the professional. RIP Bernard Hill, actor of Theoden King.
I stumbled upon your reaction to the first LOTR video and I've been hooked. I love watching people discover this awesomeness. Your videos are particularly entertaining. I was waiting for this video to be uploaded. Yay... Can't wait for part 2. I'm a Tolkien junkie.
7:51 : About Saruman being able to come back to life like Gandalf did. It's not happening, because it's not like Gandalf resurrected himself. Gandalf really did die and went to the afterlife. It's the Valar, the gods, who then sent him back for his mission wasn't yet over. At the end of this movie, Gandalf takes the ship west, to return to the Valar. Saruman's fate was different. After his throat has been slit by Wormtongue, we read: "To the dismay of those that stood by, about the body of Saruman a grey mist gathered, and rising slowly to a great height like smoke from a fire, as a pale shrouded figure it loomed over the Hill. For a moment it wavered, looking to the West; but out of the West came a cold wind, and it bent away, and with a sigh dissolved into nothing." It's not expanded in more details, but it's quite clear that he has been rejected by the Valar. His fate is likely similar to that of Sauron, reduced to a spirit doomed to wander Middle Earth forevermore, never again capable of interacting with the world in any meaningful way. A fate even worse than your "skinned alive and dipped in acid" proposition. Either way, he's not coming back. The Valar even rejected any afterlife for him, let alone allow him to reincorporate and come back. 16:40 : Yeah, the movies made fell beasts look like drakes. They're supposed to look like giant naked birds with long necks, webbed wings and a foul stench.
They’re heavily implied to have been pterodactyls who somehow survived the asteroid. But pterodactyls don’t look “fantasy,” so Peter Jackson made them wyverns instead.
@@isaackellogg3493 Meh. They're more described as carrion birds, vulture like, than pterodactyls and there certainly aren't any asteroids hitting Middle Earth in Tolkien legendarium. As for Peter Jackson's choice, there is much art that can easily be found that show book accurate representations of Fell Beasts that do not look like pterodactyls in the slightest. Here's a nice looking one : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9oKxmaO-CIs.html But I did a bit of research to figure out where that theory came from and it was asked to Tolkien directly by a fan in a letter whether the Fell Beasts were pterodactyls, which Tolkien denied in his letter 211. (though he was slightly more subtle than that.) "Pterodactyl. Yes and no. I did not intend the steed of the Witch-King to be what is now called a 'pterodactyl', and often is drawn (with rather less shadowy evidence than lies behind many monsters of the new and fascinating semi-scientific mythology of the 'Prehistoric'). But obviously it is pterodactylic and owes much to the new mythology, and its description even provides a sort of way in which it could be a last survivor of older geological eras." - J.R.R Tolkien, 14 October 1958. So, he does admit the similarity in design, and likely inspiration, but he denies Fell Beast were intended to be pterodactyls. They are meant to look like large vultures, but even Tolkien can't deny that large, featherless vultures would look like pterodactyls.
gonna edit this as i watch, really wanted to get in the stab note lol. anyways: - 7:26 small note, christopher lee actually corrected peter jackson for directions on this scene, correcting him on the sound a man makes when he gets stabbed in the chest (it's a gasping noise, because of the newly ventilated lung). what with lee being a british spy during wwII (alongside james bond's author ian fleming), jackson didn't dispute it and we have the take now in the film. - saruman ditched his duties, while the good guys wanted gandalf to pick up saruman's slack, so safe to say saruman wouldn't come back. i appreciate you clarifying your misunderstanding in the edit lol. - 14:19 denethor's a bit of a tragic figure, scummy as he is. film doesn't spell it out, but he had his own palantir (like sauron and saruman had; they had the only 3 last known palantirs iirc (edit: there was a 4th! per djorgal's reply to my comment, more details from them)). he was basically lurking and doomscrolling on his palantir and exposed to sauron's corruption while trying to be privy to sauron's plans. but in an amazing feat of his character and resolve, he didn't side with sauron like saruman (their magical equivalent to an archangel), and only resolved further to protect gondor. there's a tragedy on the familial level of how he treats his sons as a result, but that this is the furthest degree of the impact speaks to the integrity of character that their family had, when it comes down to it. boromir knew the right priorities, albeit too late. faramir really is a good boy, for being able to act on his morals for frodo and sam. - 22:07 that singing scene was added for the film when it became evident during karaoke that billy boyd has a lovely singing voice. the lyrics were based on a walking song, specifically one they learned from bilbo early in their trek in fellowship of the ring, that the hobbits would normally sing when going home after a day out and about.
"like sauron and saruman had; they had the only 3 last known palantirs iirc" There's a 4th one in the possession of Círdan the Shipwright in the Grey Havens, to the west of Middle Earth (that's where the ships taking the elves west leave from). Though, Círdan's Palantir is disconnected from the others and can only see west, to Valinor (the immortal lands). It's something of a pilgrimage for elves to come and see through this Palantir and watch what's basically their afterlife, even if they aren't departing yet and intend to stay in Middle Earth longer.
Lyrics guy here! Since all the good stuff is gonna be in part 2 of the reaction, I'll briefly expand on my comment from your previous video and mention some songs from the first movie. The songs in general are written using languages Tolkien wrote and they are as follow: Quenya - older version of elvish Sindarin - simplified, modern elvish Khuzdul and Neo-Khuzdul - dwarvish Rohanese (or Rohirric) - derived from Old English *The Bridge of Khazad-dûm* - sung in khuzdul from the moment Balrog appears and until Gandalf the Gray falls Deeper into the earth. There, the glint of Mithril sharp and far away. Deeper into the earth. That sound again Dread surrounds us. Can no one hear us? A great shadow Moves in the dark. The earth shakes! Cracks! Splits! Will no one save us?! Fire! Fire in the deep! Flames lick our skin, our skin! Fear rips our heart, our heart! No! No! No! The demon comes! The demon comes! ====================================================================================================================== *Lothlórien / Lament for Gandalf* - first verse sung in quenya, second in sindarin 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 but, the spirit broken The Flame of Anor has left this World A great light, has gone out
The way youve upped the pitch in audio so everyone sounds like theyre in the process of turning into chipmunks caught me off guard and threw me for a god damn loop XD
I know people like to think about Smeagol as 'the good personality' but I... think he always kinda sucked and that's why the ring got it's claws into him so fast. Smeagol is cute, but what sets him apart from Gollum isn't that he's more moral, he's just a bigger coward and that's what gave Gollum space to occupy; he gives him purpose, direction and drive. Smeagol is just as, if not more excitable by violence and he's just as in love with the ring. Smeagol and Gollum aren't a good and a bad personality, they are two different takes on a bad personality. People imo, confuse Smegol being relatable with him being 'good'. He sucks. We just understand why he sucks - where as Gollum is a psychopath.
I mean … I think you’re seriously understating how heavily the Ring would corrupt an innocent bystander after seething lost inside a river for centuries lol Mankind’s supposed “heroes” like Isildur caved to it quickly, while demigods like Gandalf or Galadriel know better than to even touch it. But you’re trying to blame some random fisher-dude from a flyover village for being poisoned by … spiritual Chernobyl?🤷♂️
It reminds me of the Walrus and the Carpenter. The Walrus seems moral and apologetic, always crying about how many oysters are sacrificed for their luncheon, but he eats far more greedily and does more killing; the Carpenter doesn't actually eat that much, he just isn't "sorry" about it. At first glance Carpenter seems like more of a dick, but actually the Walrus is far eviler.
@@corpsefoot758 If the Stoors had a similar resiliance to the ring's effects as Hobbits seem to, you could argue that Smeagol had a particularly weak and greedy nature. He did kill Deagol for it.
@@axelbruv Frodo didn’t even have the strength to toss it into Mt. Doom, and he carried it for only 17 years. But before Smeagol came across it, the Ring was stewing in its own poisonous urge to escape that riverbed prison for almost 2,500. So again: I’m not sure how Smeagol’s reaction was disproportionate when he was exposed to almost 150x the evil potency as Frodo was lol, it’s just math
Who would've thought that to dodge the copyright police this movie would become Lord of the Rings - The Return of Alvin and the Chipmunks. I love it 😂😂😂
Gandalf being revived was one of only two times that Eru Ilúvatar(god over middle earth) interfered in middle earth, the second time happens in part two of this
Gina I recommend you read or watch a video pertaining to Saruman's actual demise in the books, and the unseen ending known as "The Scouring of the Shire", it involves Saruman and Grima after the Ring's destruction.
Years ago, the quote from your shirt was a meme with a picture of Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard from Star Trek), just to be even more incorrect/crossover.
Thank you Gina for the time and effort you put into fighting this god damn copyright. Ps: since you are planning on reading the trilogy, once you are done, I highly suggest you to check at least one piece of the appendix called: “Appendix A, Part (v): “Here Follows a Part of the Tale of Aragorn and Arwen.” A ton of lore. I hope you can upload your thoughts of the books further down the road.
Loving another Gina reaction to Lord of the Rings! Denethor, Boromir and Faramir's father, got the skunk treatment here, though it had to be done for brevity's sake. Denethor had a Palantir like Saruman did (the globe Pippin took from Gandalf while he slept). The Palantiri are like crystal balls, and were made to give their users the ability to see what was happening in far away places. Denethor used his to spy inside Mordor and to try to learn what Sauron was up to. But Sauron corrupted the Palantiri and manipulated both Saruman and Denethor through them, driving them both mad. Sauron made the Palantiri show Denethor visions that were lies, so Denethor made poor decisions from bad intel that cost Gondor's armies dearly and made the people feel hopeless. Thus Denethor was another victim of Sauron. As was Saruman. Gandalf was sent back because his mission was not over and he died while serving the purpose he was sent for. Saruman did not die trying to fulfill the purpose he was sent for, so his return isn't very likely. 😛
Keep your reacting style, it's your way and your video. I like your genuine reactions and luckily you didn't pitch *your* voice up too :D You could be a great audiobook reader, imho. Waiting (not so patiently) next part :)
Peter Jackson did a huge disservice to Denethor by not including a quick scene showing him wrestling with Sauron through the seeing stone which he did for many years. He was a noble man in the books but Sauron drove him mad with despair. In the movie he is a complete jerk for no apparent reason why.
@@TheShapingSickness that is not enough of a reason to me at least to send his other very much alive son to near certain death, or to wish that one had died instead of the other. There are reportedly over 1300 hours of film, I wish there was a short scene with Denethor wrestling with Sauron because that was the actual reason for his issues and it would have matched more closely to the book. Denethor comes out as evil instead of insane. I think this is a bad change from the book. YMMV.
So I'm guessing you wouldn't like the bit about Gollum eating babies. In the book Saruman still gets stabbed by Wormtongue but somewhere else and with more obvious and immediate provocation. And what happens as soon as he is dead makes it very clear that he won't be back (and that he has been judged to be a A Very Bad Boy)
Regarding Gandalf/Saruman. Gandalf was SENT back, he did not COME back voluntarily. Think of Gandalf and Saruman as angels, who were sent to Middle Earth on a mission. Saruman succumbed to the influence of darkness, where Gandalf did not. So being sent back to 'Heaven' is not a great thing for him.
@@geenahreads Happy to help. There is some D E E P lore about all of this out there, much of it hotly debated. It all comes down to how deep you want to go, really.
- Yo, Gandalf the Grey, we're sending you back to finish your job 'coz you da man takin' on the Balrog on your own an' all that. Also, you got a promotion, you'll go back as Gandalf the White. - Gandalf the White? What about Saruman? - What about Saruman? - Isn't he "the White"? - You wanna go back or not? - ... - Off you go!
As I'm sure you've finished them by now, these adaptations will go down in history as one of the most beautiful retellings in history. There's plenty to get teary-eyed over. lol
EVERY reactor during Gandalf's "don't be so quick to judge and call for death" speech in Fellowship: "AWW so true, so wise, yes yes." EVERY reactor as soon as someone is a bit mean: "KILL HIM!!"
I NEED THE NEXT PART NOW!!!!!!!!! PLS? HEHE Your reaction when Gandalf rides out to meet Faramir and save him from the Nazgul was so funny because I bet thats how we all reacted to it the first time!
Alcohol is the reason why Bilbo was able to escape from the dungeons of the wood elves who are Legolas' people, i dont know why he is acting like he doesnt know what drinking is
Gandalf and Saruman are sort of like angels using human bodies. When they “die” only the bodies die and their souls return to basically heaven. However, Saruman’s soul was denied passage back to heaven and he will forever be a weakened spirit, forced to roam the world he tried to destroy. Gandalf on the other hand was returned to the world because of how much effort he had put into saving it.
You know what the biggest tragedy is? In the Theatrical version, Saruman doesn’t even die. They’re just like “there is a wizard to tend to here.” And I think Gandalf says “and here he shall remain”. Under the watch of Treebeard… that’s it. You don’t even see Saruman.
1:23 Ah yes, my favorite quote from Game of Thrones, followed by "You're a wizard, Frodo" from master Yoda. 7:59 Maybe you already know, but if you kept watching the non-extended edition you'll never knew what happened to Saruman, it got entierly cut out, one spanish youtuber once said something very true on this matter: "it's not that these are the extended versions, is that the ones that went to cinemas are cut versions" 10:38 There's an animated movie of The Lord of the Rings that came in 1978, in that one, apparently, writters thought that Saruman and Sauron were names similar enough to be confusing and renamed Saruman as "Aruman", but only in some parts, so, it's not really clear if that was the reason for the name change they did.
I love that you’re coping by thinking that Sméagol and Gollum are two separate entities cause Sméagol does the same thing to justify that he’s actually good and “Gollum” is bad… when they’re the same person
I have watched so many LotR reaction videos. Yours have become my favorite; you seem like you're actually putting real effort and thought into forming your opinions. Basically you seem pretty sincere, and sincerity = I'm interested.
I loved it! I love this type of video from you! I can't wait for you to read TLORT books. That's when you'll really appreciate everything. The depth of Tolkien was just amazing. He was a linguist who specialized in Norse languages and many if not all of the languages in these movies were created in the lingual image of Norse languages. Really cool.
20:22 I always laugh when you say "Golumn!" like an angry mother. I chuckle when you saw "dwwagon" , now I want to constantly use that word for some reason. Awesome reaction.
First off, that shirt is so funny. Second, I’ve been a fan of LOTR for years and I still get Sauron and Saruman mixed up. I’m still going to recommend that you watch Lord of the Potter by Studio C and I will add watching Harry names his children also by Studio C.
Faramir's Charge is the Charge of the Light Brigade. Half a league, half a league, half a league onward ... theirs not to make reply, theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die.
Good to see a proper reaction to the beacons being lit. You'd be surprised how many people gloss over it. Also, did you read Wheel of Time? Asking for no particular reason, heh.
It's weird that only some channels have such a hard time with copyright on these. Other channels don't have to make the voices sound weird, or even put a watermark on them. While others have all this problem. In the book Grima cuts Saruman's throat on the border of the Shire almost at the end of the book because Saruman fled Orthanc and took over management of The Shire. After the four and a militia they rounded up, deposed Saruman who called himself Sharky. Grima tried to run after killing Saruman but some very angry Hobbits shot him full of arrows before Frodo could stop them. Grima dying makes a lot more sense than Legolas literally shooting him for absolutely no reason.
I don't think I mentioned it on the last reaction, but it was cool you recognized Karl Urban. Most reactors don't recgognize him in all the armor and hair.
Funny, to me LotR is where I recognise him from. Years later I realized I had already seen him in Hercules/Xena, but Eomer is the role that made me pay attention to him.
