Mt. Doom is the place where Sauron keeps his mixtape. The only thing hot enough to melt the ring.

@spazmaster1996 8 лет назад

I think that Sam is the real hero of the trilogy. Mainly because, if it wasn't for him, frodo would have ended up like isealdor (spelling?) and not destroying the ring at mt doom. Sam also went all the way with frodo and didn't succumb to the rings power, granted he wasn't wearing it, like frodo, but still! Sam is the really OG

@andrewmuller1441 8 лет назад

+Liam Worsley JRR Tolkein himself said that Sam was the real hero.

@BuckyMadubado 8 лет назад

Sauron wasn't a regular dude before the ring. He was a Maiar, and not corrupted by the ring but corrupted by Morgoth.

@heavynov 8 лет назад

+BuckyMadubado Only thing to add would be that Sauron forged the ring to focus his power; he was corrupted long before the ring existed, serving as Melkor's lieutenant for ages

@muftulussus 8 лет назад

Not corrupted by the ring, but by power - just as said in the video.He went from 'regular' Maiar to Dark Lord for the power Morgoth offered, so your point is kinda invalid.

@jhonshephard921 7 лет назад

Saleh G Of course I don't know each individual character. I know the broad overarching story due to internet/comedy references. I know there were many rings made by some guy, I know Frodo's uncle did something before related to it. I know a mixed group all went to destroy the ring on foot for some reason. I know one person among tries to take the ring but doesn't. I know that wizard called Gandalf dies after yelling "you shall not pass" and comes back, I know there are two bad guys Suruman and Sauran, one of whom can influence others including a king, I know Sauraman and Gandalf were friends like Magneto and Professor X, I know in the end they are successful by throwing the ring in a lava.

@perfectlyMessy 7 лет назад

How hard it is to be Frodo? No! How hard it is to be Samwise! All Frodo does was whine, Sam had to carry Frodo and save him so many times.

@jakemayorquin5460 7 лет назад

Frodo had the toughest job psychologically by having to constantly combat the ring's corruption. Sam had the toughest job of having to be Frodo's designated driver and save his ass while Frodo's mentally incapacitated. Samwise is basically the ringbearer-bearer, and is in my opinion the real hero of LOTR

@Hirungolwe 7 лет назад

But he is not, there is not one true hero, without Frodo Sam would have to have carried it the whole time which means he would be in the same state, and do not forget about Gollum without him the ring would have never been fthrown away so Sam, Frodo, and Gollum are the true heroes...

@RsAz123 8 лет назад

Why didn't you base it off of the book version...

@animegandalf8690 7 лет назад

RsAz123 It is... Since if it was of the movies he would not mention the 17 year old time difrence, and that quote that Frodo made was not in the movies, and he would neither mention that the fellowship rested for some months if it was about the movies

@RsAz123 7 лет назад

Johan Aanvik Woah, it's been a long time didn't expect a reply. My comment meant that they did not cover many plot points that occurred in the book instead they focused on covering plot points that were shown in the movie. Some plot points include Tom Bombadil, The Barrow-Wights and Old man Willow that tries to consume the hobbits. Yes they used book quotes but they followed the movies narrative.

@animegandalf8690 7 лет назад

RsAz123 Well it also was meant as an quick summary about lotr but yes it would be good if they used more of the plot lines, however i think they still did a good job

@daviddelpozofiliu5556 8 лет назад

Love this! Are you going to do parts 2 and 3? When you talk about how Frodo is trying to protect the Shire, I think Tolkien did a really good job in the end of part 3, when they come back and see that they couldn't protect it anyway, and war reached it to some extent.
