First Time Watching *LORD OF THE RINGS*: The Two Towers Movie Reaction | Extended Edition (PART 2) 

Thanks so much for watching Part 2! Absolutely LOVED this one! Keep them suggestions coming! The FULL movie and more reactions on the Patreon! GO GET THAT!! www.patreon.com/sunnyp

Arwen's mother, Celebrian, is actually the daughter of Celeborn and Galadriel. While traveling between Rivendell and Lothlorien many years ago, she was captured and tortured by Orcs in the mountains. Her twin sons (sadly not featured in the movies) rescued her, and Elrond was able to heal her physically - but not spiritually. She crossed the sea to the Undying Lands to find total healing, where she awaits the rest of her family.

You can’t get EVERYTHING right and NO ONE should make you feel bad because you don’t. It ain’t that serious. Just enjoy the films and don’t worry about it. ❤

J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of the original books, was a philologist (someone who studies languages) and created the languages of Middle-Earth for fun. Apparently, his passion for mythmaking was rivaled only by his passion for constructing languages. Another fun fact is that The Hobbit (and later The Lord of the Rings), was originally an oral story that Tolkien would tell to his children before bedtime, but his son Christopher would point out minor discrepancies in each retelling, prompting Tolkien to begin writing the story down. Christopher would later give feedback on LOTR as a teen and young adult.

Gimli is the son of Glóin, a member of Thorin's company in Tolkien's earlier book The Hobbit. He becomes close friends with Legolas, overcoming an ancient enmity of Dwarves and Elves. He was a remote descendant of Durin the Deathless, chief of the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves and ancestor of the Longbeards. Gimli was of the royal line, but not close to the succession; he was the third cousin once removed of Dáin II Ironfoot.

At 9:19 you ask where Arwen's mom is. Her name was Celebrian, and she was Galadriel's daughter. She was captured by Orcs and received a poisoned wound about 500 years before our story. Elrond's sons (who don't appear in the movies) rescued her, and Elrond healed her wound, but she lost all delight in Middle-earth and departed for the Undying Lands a year later.

When the horse assists Aragorn at the river, Aragorn says “Brego”. So yes, this is the Prince’s horse that was released back in Edoras.

The Battle of Helm's Deep is one of my favorite scenes ever in a movie. The ups and downs, the sense of hopelessness at being outnumbered and outmatched followed by the elation of new allies joining the fight. Then the terror at watching the walls and gate be breached and the sorrow of watching friends and allies fall in scores. And then, when all seems lost and it becomes a "final stand" kind of situation, Gandalf the GOAT rides in with the exiled Rohirrim and saves the day. I love too how they don't shy away from showing you that even though they won, it's a bittersweet conclusion. I could go on and on about how perfectly executed the entire scene is.

The dwarves only sent Gimli and Gloin to the Council because they could not spare any more of their people at the time. Sauron's armies were simultaneously attacking the Lonely Mountain and Dale, so the Dwarves were busy fighting a war with Mordor. Therefore, they could not send anyone south to aid Rohan, Gondor, or any other city. Not to mention they lost a lot of Dwarves already before and during helping Bilbo Baggins.

Faramir is in my top 4 favorite characters in the books (Sam, Merry, Eowyn, Faramir) . The director changed his character quite a lot in these films.

Next The Lord Of The Ring Extended Edition Of The Return Of The King Extended Edition and Next Trilogy The Hobbit Extended Edition Of The Adventures Of Bilbo Baggin: (1) An Unexpected Journey Extended Edition (2) The Desolation Of Smaug Extended Edition (3) The Battle Five Armie Extended Edition

The hyena-like creatures are wargs. Saruman even mentions them when he tells one of the orcs, "Send out your warg-riders."

The mum of Arwen is Celebrian, the daughter of Galadriel. Galadriel is actually her granny, and Elrond's MIL. It's hard to know that just by comparing ages, because elven are, well, immortal.

if u turn on the subtitles the elvish dialogue translation should be visible

“An image of the splendor of the Kings of Men, in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world.” One of the best lines of literature I’ve ever read. Tolkien’s writing was unparalleled.

I love how you're calling Gimli "master dwarf"! He's such an underrated character (at least his film version) and absolutely deserves recognition - he's not afraid to jump into a HORDE of orcs and can effectively slay enemies that are almost twice his size; he can snap an orc's neck when half of his body is immobilised and he's in a most vulnerable position; he's a master of the axe just as Legolas is a master of the bow; he's even able and willing to be running three days without food or rest even though his physique isn't built for that at all; and as a dwarf, he has all the fascinating knowledge of metallurgy, armory, and jewellery that I admire a great deal! And no worries about not getting everything right, not calling some character(s) the right name etc.) and it possibly sounding disrespectful - it's more than evident that you've got a great respect for the characters and you're even genuinely eager to learn more about the lore, and especially if you haven't read the books, there's really no need at all to be worried about something like this ;) Amazing reaction, I can't wait for you getting to The Return of the King - I can only promise that it will for sure be a BLAST ;) I'm especially excited for the part where you'll find out who "SHE" is that Gollum mentioned here 😏

Tolkien wrote Lord of the Rings in the 30’s and 40’s , setting the marker for modern fantasy. Everything since, including Harry Potter, takes inspiration from it. It is ok to love them both, LOTR as the OG and HP as a worthy descendent.

Realized I watched your part 1 twice lmao taking my gummy and am ready for round two! You’re gonna LOVE this 🙀

I’m paraphrasing a bit here but ,To give some context about the northern Kingdom of Arnor where Aragorn and the few other descendants come from. After Isldur died his three sons argued on the fate of the realm which ultimate split into Arnor ,Cardolian, Rhudar. Give or take a thousand years after Sauron fell the Witch King fled to the North to get his revenge for his master’s fall. He created the realm known as Angmar (the realm of ice and steel I believe) he then turned the realm Rhudar against the other two. He then spent the next 700-800 years waging war until the Northern realms were shattered. Angmar was only defeated by the high elves ( Glorifindel, Elrond) and Gondor armies. Sadly though the realm of Arnor was irreversibly shattered leaving the descendants to wander the north as rangers. Always protecting the realm of Earidaor and its people from the horrors they are ignorant about.

Aragon may be 87 but he is just a baby compared to Arwen who is 2778

Another awesome one! 😃🌸 I just finished watching part 2 :) and you’re right; the trees need to break the dam in our world to let the water flush away all the evil, that’s a great metaphor 👍🏼 Can’t wait to watch your next videos :) 🌸

hands down my all time favorite trilogy

Theoden is a man well past his prime years plagued by fear, doubt & regret because he wasn't able to protect his people from Sauruman's forces & his son has passed away but thanks to a firm but gentle reminder he still pushes through to lead & protect because he remembers what a king must do

The Two Towers is my favorite of the 3 but Return of the King was nominated for 11 Oscar awards and won all of them.

You should be able to turn on the subtitles and see what they’re saying when they speak Elvish. At least with the box set you can.

14:29 That Joke threat "Imma 'bout to put on!" got me🤣 , subbed

That was the one thing Denethor’s was never able to do, drive a wedge between Boromir and Faramir. The two were five years apart, and their bond was stronger than any two brothers could be. 😊💕

At 20:37 we get a brief sight gag of Gimli's oversized chain mail, which isn't repeated later. In the book, Gimli is already wearing his own chain mail, which being of Dwarf-manufacture is of much better quality than anything the Rohirrim have. He does accept a helmet and a shield, however.

I'm absolutely loving your reactions man, especially with my childhood movies here. You're right in that there is some overlap in the fanbases, but in the beginning there was almost a competitive edge between the two as the Lord of the Rings movies came out at the same time as the Harry Potter ones. They are SO different in tone - LOTR is very dark and serious overall and quickly plunges you into that reality. It deals with war and it's consequences on a deep and spiritual level that I don't think any other movie really ever reaches. It also has strong environmentalist and pagan overtones as well which is rare to find really. Harry Potter gets dark, sure, and quite serious, but it's overall tone is pure comfort film. Get ready for the ending in Return of the King. If you thought Harry Potter gets emotional...

The dead faces in the Dead Marshes were inspired by Tolkein's experiences in the trenches of World War I.

If you want to learn more about the world, the RU-vid channels, Nerd of the Rings, Men of the West, Tolkien Untangled, and so many more, go a great job of filling it all out in fun, entertaining formats. They’re great. Love this reaction. 💕🇨🇦

I'd love to see you react to the main themes of Lord of the Rings. That would be "May it be" by Enya and "Into the west" by Annie Lennox. Maybe after you react to the last movie? It's worth it believe me, both beautiful songs.

Lord of the Rings inspired Harry Potter, Dungeon and dragon, game of thrones and all other fantasy movie.

Leogolas, the legendary skater! No one attempted his trick again. 😄😄

I would say after Return of the King if you are still looking for more LOTRs stuff I would recommend The Hobbit plus it'll add more and give you just more lore and backstory

Just call them all "critters" like "Remember that critter with the whip that got Gandalf?" Seriously, Sam's speech is great. Yep, it resonates with today. Great reaction! 🎥 💍 💓 🌋 🍿

Sunny.. you're enthusiasm is adorable...lol...if you're ever in need of a grandmother..😁... Yes the brotherhood of the trio has become very apparent and will only deepen as the finale unfolds... you're n for another spectacular ride... As far as Harry Potter versus Lord Of The Rings...they are set in totally different times and cultures..so each is the top of their field...both masterfully done for their respective storyline...if you're a gamer there's Hogwarts Legacy...PS5 seems to be the top platform but they have it now on other gaming systems... So looking forward to the last chapter..The Return Of The King... you're going to love it... Catch ya next time...🌿🌿🌿

often, looking at the young liv tyler, I ask myself, how is it possible that her facial features almost completely repeat those of her father, and yet she is such an unearthly beauty! nuances are everything! 😊

All versions of the films I've encountered, extended or theatrical, have English subtitles over the Sindarin Elvish. Something to look for when doing ROTK. Maybe there's a setting?

You don’t need to pick a fave franchise, Sunny. I love both Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, and I even quite like classic Star Wars. Both franchises have great storylines even though they are very different in tone.

I'm surprised that it didn't show the subtitles of what Arwen and Aragorn were saying to each other. They do in the dvd.

I know it's after the fact but you keep referring to Gimli as a "Dwarf King". He's not, he's just a Dwarf.

Turn on the captions....the elvish is translated. Great reaction

The elves are all leaving middle earth gradually and going to Valinor. The dwarves are mostly trapped in their caves either too greedy to bother or dealing with their own problems. Sauron HAD/HAS MAJOR BEEF with Men spanning two ages. He’s terrified of them especially Aragorn and their potential if he becomes king and unites all MEN.

There should be subtitles for the elvish. It may be the copy you're watching or the site you're streaming from as to why you wasn't seeing any.

hehe dude you so good at this // GO SUNNY GO

I would say that I am a fan of both Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. Harry Potter is great but Lord of the Rings is more excellent. The content and world JRR Tolkein pinned is unmatched by any fantasy author and carries a deeper meaning that spans a lot of topics that can be applied, even in the state of the earth now. The feelings and epic journey these films evoke are not easily described, as it is layer upon layer. "One does not simply watch Lord of the Rings". It gets more epic and the journey is felt every single time. You, as a new person coming into Lord of the Rings, the movie does it as much justice as possible. It's extremely detailed and beyond rich in lore and legend. I could go on forever. This is a masterpiece. If I had to pick one of these two films, it is Lord of the Rings, hands down. This story is unmatched in Epic Fantasy. It is the perfect Trilogy of High Fantasy. The cast was perfect here, flawless victory in cinema.

So, the movies //should// have subtitles for when they're speaking Elvish? If whatever platform you're watching it on doesn't have the subtitles for Elvish then something is going wrong with the platform cuz they are very much supposed to be there

They are not trees! They are Ents, the shepherds of the forest. Good reaction, on to the last one!

There should be subtitles so you know what they are saying.

Is it my imagination or are the children cowering at Helm's Deep the same children Bilbo was telling stories to back at the Shire? That question has haunted me for years.

It can be a little aggravating sometimes when reactors constantly get something wrong, but I haven't seen you do that. It's definitely *not disrespectful* to get a character's name wrong. 😊

Go back to the beginning of the trilogy to hear explanation of the different races of beings.

I love Harry Potter movies but nothing really compares to lotr

When you get to the movie "Willow" it'll be fun to see what you think.

AH next one is return of the ring which is going to top the previous two it will be crazy but two towers! Lets go !

Arwen is 2500+ years old.

At 3:37 you wonder about the creatures attacking the column. They are called Wargs, and in the book, they are large, intelligent werewolves. You'll see them again if you watch the Hobbit movies. None of this part of the script occurs in the book; Peter Jackson & Co. have strayed pretty far from Tolkien's story in this part of the movie. In the book, the Company are attacked at night by a pack of Wargs, at a point in FOTR between their defeat on Caradhras and entering the Mines of Moria. Gandalf ultimately defeats them by setting an entire hilltop on fire. In the morning, the bodies of the slain Wargs have disappeared, and all of Legolas's spent arrows are lying on the ground. It is the main reason the Company entered the Mines of Moria.

Almost didn't hit the "like." Was sitting at 420......😅

Tolkien was a linguist. He invented the elvish language along with other people he was in college with. He wrote the entire history for middle earth before he wrote the trilogy.

Hey Youngin' Are you going to get the 'Return of The King' posted. ;-)

great reaction! can't wait for your reaction to return of the king!

Her mom is dead already...killed by Orces. Galadriel is her Grandma. Aragon and Arwen and Elrond is actually related. They are distant cousin, Aragon's ancestor was half elf half.

cant find Return of the King even on your patreon. would have subbed for it :( i guess it has been taken down, but it should really be available on some other stream site through patron tho. keep me updated if it comes back :)

The books were used as a coping mechanism. J. R. Tolkien survived world war 1.

Gimli is just a dwarf not a Dwarf King. If you review the Hobbit trilogy there are Dwarf Kings in those films. Aragorn calling Gimli Master Dwarf is just like me calling you Mr

My friend, about the elfic linguage, if you activate the subtitles you may know what they are saying at real time

Did you ever watch Return of the King? I can’t find it and your reactions are awesome

Hi, hey did you make return of the king too? I can't find it

What they smoke is similar to pipe tobacco, not marijuana.

The boys and old men are going to die anyway if the fortress is taken. They can help supply the others and are armed if threatened. They can help cover the retreat of their mothers and younger siblings. But they can die fighting which automatically sends them to the Halls of their Fathers as the Horse Lords model their afterlife. 🐴🐎

Dude 😎 Great job 🎉

Genial amigo!! Un saludo desde Argentina!!

Oh! Have you seen The Hunger Games?! One, two, three part 1 and three part 2, then the prequel! 😊

👍🙂❤ Didn't they make another one? I could have sworn that there was another movie after this. I'm going to research this first though. If I find out they made another one after this movie, I'll let you know. 👍🙂❤

It’s weird that none of your versions have the subtitles for elvish

bro its better than harry potter its ok to say it most of people knows its true ;) keep it up!

I can’t find your Return of The King videos?

What happened to the Return of the King reaction?

Did you skipp the Return of the king? Pax! /ToZ

React to Danganronpa V3 Ost class trail

You're killing me smalls. That's a long journey to stop half way. Please tell me you at least finished it for your patreon viewers.

I'm a LOTR and HP fanatic. No need to pick

It's okay, man; Lord of the Rings is superior to Harry Potter in every way.

Wargs on books are direwolves. Could also speak. Very cunning creatures. Peter Jackson wanted them look huge Hyenes which is very acceptable.

Return of the kring? Pax! /ToZ

Sorry kid, but you're an amateur. Theaters in the late 1970s and early 80s used to run Planet of the Apes movie Marathons. That's starting with 1969 plus four more. Nearly ten hours worth. The best showings were at the drive in theaters. But they could only be held in the spring and fall, otherwise there was too much daylight. Pre teens and parents could and did get into them too. Roddy McDowall started a supporting role in the first one, he didn't do the 2nd because his character was hardly in it, but from the third one on it was all about Roddy. There was even a short lived TV series, but the writing was terrible. You could always see Roddy under that mask, and Kim Hunter was beautiful as his wife Zera. The last of the movies, was also the plot of the second modern remake. Andy Cirkis is great at what he does but Roddy played it so well mostly with his eyes and versatile voice.

Gimli is not a king.

While I understand the changes in the interest of better storytelling- film and book Faramir are completely different people. Book-Faramir wasn't interested in the ring. I still hate the illtreatment of Gollum which doesn't occur in the book.
