Very cool audio at the Gandalf reveal - the reason you couldn't tell if it was him at first was because they played Saruman (Christopher Lee) and Gandalf (Ian McKellen) saying the same lines at the same time, starting stronger with Saruman, but fading him out and fading in Gandalf. The little things like that are part of what make these movies so damn good.
According to Tolkien, Elves could even dream while moving about, "blending living night & deep dream." When Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas are running across the Plains of Rohan pursuing the orcs who captured Merry and Pippin, Legolas never sleeps, and even stands watch while his wiped out Dwarf & Human companions That & out of the entire journey Legolas was both Stoic and ethereal but the one whose heart remained the lightest and kept the fellowship afloat in so many ways ❤. So it was weird how the film gave it all to Gimli! 😂❤️
Not all of it went to Gimli. I felt the Lightness and truth of Legolas as well. But I didn't remember all of this, what you've shared here, this is so neat about the elves. So intriguing. just love the lore and fantasy so much. I did read the Trilogy years ago when I saw the first movie, but I didn't capture or remember all of the lore that I know is there. This is a deep trilogy read. I've been wanting to read these again, thanks.
Speaking of the Balrog battle. It lasted ten days and ten nights. That and the blade you seen falling with him was elven high king Turgon. Epic stuff that means a lot when you are in the know. The Balrog is the same species as Gandalf. He was fighting a divine brother as it were. So it’s even more touching and deep stuff than what I’m even saying here in such a limited fashion.
@@Makkaru112 Snap! subscribed to them too, we have very much the same taste. I read Tolkien's works when I was 14yrs old which is 57yrs ago now and have been reading them ever since. Never get tired of them.🌝
@@kimwilson3863 Arda is our world. Which is why we never get tired of it. Always finding something new as time goes on. The branches keep on growing unexpectedly as he described himself. Tolkien I mean. Also Tie Eldalieva has a new podcast chat thing with a scientist shaman who deep dives into Tolkiens works for hours. They also have an old series where they went into other subjects regarding his works and it’s very extensive and they only ever talk when they’ve done huge research. But they always want you to think for yourself. At least I’d hope so. I still love High Elven Wisdom Too. Her channel has grown alot. Much stronger. She had a unique glow and perspective on things given how she grew up in South Africa too just like JRR Tolkien did too.❤️❤️❤️
@@Makkaru112 Interesting definitely. Sometimes though I feel to understand the way of wisdom is to understand Hobbits. The simple things can hold great meaning overlooked by learned men, and even the wisest of us cannot create a blade of grass. It is in the spaces between the words, the quiet places of just breathing that wisdom lives. I believe this is why Tolkien loved the Hobbits so much and had such respect for them. After all it was one note that begat the journey. 🌱
Ah bless why oh why would you start watching a film this long when you're obviously tired lol, I love the slow closing of the eyes and jolting back awake, just like the hobbits listening to Treebeard, he has a hypnotic voice that sends you to sleep. Make sure you are not so tired for the final film or you will miss much. Hope you had a good sleep after the film. 😔💤
The part about the dead marshes includes Legolas’s Father; Thranduil, & Thranduil’s father Oropher, were to join the Last Alliance in from a different angle to achieve a certain war tactic but Oropher and others got waylayed by orcs & many corrupted men which lead to eventually Oropher dying there, this loss effected Legolas’s father so very deeply forevermore. The bond between he and his son is the same bond Thranduil has with Legolas. And the braid he wears is to honour his grandfather. I believe after his death braids became less common. A sort of respect thing I believe. Both his father and Grandfather lived in Doriath(Elu Thingol’s domain[Elwë], which was heartbea of middle earth; Aside from Gondolin which held this mantle until it’s secret location was given up by a tortured elf who was the son of a very important mother who was the sister of the high king Turgon). All on a landmass called Beleriand that sunk under the sea after a set of disastrous events that lead to many greater outcomes much later on in the legendarium. This here is a whole set of stories of which also includes a quite a bit of Galadriel too but moreso other characters during this era. Of Beren And Lùthien comes to mind and Children Of Hurin!! You’ll fall in love even more after the third movie. Then you can enter into the lore videos like Moviejoob and OmarioRPG have done reaction videos too. Amazing stuff. One thing to add though is this scene resembles a lot from the battle Tolkien(The Author) was involved in called The Battle Of Somme. Look into it and tell me your thoughts. The man is a legend in MANY ways
To answer your ring question without spoiling anything since it’s nowhere in the movies at all: Aragorns ring(there is a few shots during the movie where you see a good look on it being worn but also in that book that has the drawing & history of that ring Saruman spoke about after Grima brought it up to him(Saruman) once belonged to Galadriel’s dearest elder brother Finrod, Named Felagund by the dwarves he befriended, they gifted him one of their fortresses of Nargothrond and he even built it with them). He was the most famous Elf in the Legendarium aside from his uncle Fingolfin! It ended up being given to Barahir’s ancestors & Barahir is closest relative to Aragorn through the line of Arathorn! And they connect directly to the house of Bëor. Which all three houses of the Edain were found & befriended by Finrod. First to discover Men before anyone else !! Not even the Valar save Melkor long LONG ago. They’ve been aware of him for a very long time & have been fighting him almost as long as the elves did but with no help during those darker times before the sun and moon were even born into the world after melkor and Ungoliant killed the two trees of silver and gold in Valinor. By the time the Gondorians lost Eärnur the Anorian line of Elendil got their cheeks clapped so hard they were reduced to a lesser tribe who had lost a shit ton of status and a lot of symbols of their power like the Ring of Barahir or Narsil. The Gondorian Stewards, especially those like Denethor, looked down on their northern brethren as pretenders and foreigners. Aragorn not only had served in Gondor's army for a time but was chosen to carry on many of the ancient symbols of the line of Elendil like Barahir and reforging Narsil into Andúril. Throw in a fancy banner made by his elf GF and he had the symbols and treasures of a king. Denethor lighting himself on fire also contributed along with Faramir willingly surrendering his authority to Aragorn helped. An heirloom of the Ñoldor/ Vanyar(Galadriel and Finrod’s kin) But as I said, it's got SO much value. Makes me want to say something similar to what Gandalf said about the mithril vest that was more valuable than the shire itself. Hahaa And so ofc Aragorn for many reasons knows the history of that very ring he wears. I believe as it belonged to Galadriel’s brother, either she gave it to him or it made it down the line directly from Aragorn’s mighty ancestry.
The trio ran in 4 days the width of Rohan, 135 miles. Eating little, resting little. They are basically the representatives of the most enduring races in Middle-Earth: Gimli, a dwarf, probably most suited for long stretches of hardships (hardly a natural sprinter, though?), Legolas, an elf, lightfooted and resilient and Aragorn of the Dunedain, in his prime. Whether Boromir, a great warrior, or the hobbits had made it also or at all - please comment, I'm no marathon runner.
@@stefankatsarov5806 Dúnedain lived elsewhere and lived by a whole other code and culture. He was only half Númenorean due to his mother named Finduilas. Yes. She was a faithful Númenorean lady named after a well known noble elvish woman of the same name.
@@Makkaru112 No, Dúnedain is the name for the people of Númenor and their descendants. Boromir was a descendant of Númenor on both of his parents sides as the family or line of the stewards have all been Dúnedain. Denethor especially is described as a very pure Dúnadan in the books, very wise and powerful. Finduilas was from line of princes of Dol Amroth who are also Dúnedain and rumored to have had an Elf-woman somewhere in their ancestry.
Gandalf is the same species of being as the Balrogs/Sauron before twisted by Melkor[Morgoth]. They are all Maiar (primordial spirits). Gandalf named Olórin created by Eru’s Thought (extensions of Eru Îlluvatar himself whilst they had their own free will & individuality. He essentially got the chance to experience and study other parts of himself through this.) among the other Ainur before the Years of the Lamps roughly 9,000+ years before arriving in Middle-earth; In Valinor he was known as Olórin.(Remember though he formally existed before the world existed and his form becoming Gandalf hadn’t happened yet. He was sent to Middle-earth in human form around the year 1000 of the Third Age. So his many forms had different ages in length of existing. He’s very cool right! Could he get any cooler!? 😎❤️ Another thing is when he arrived in middle earth he was disguised as an elf & lived among them whilst they were unknowing & he became to be known as Mithrandir to the Quendi/Eldar❤️ He could have very well dwelled with the elves far earlier just do to his curiosity & simple desire to explore and be around the firstborn (TheElves) Gandalf The Grey/White Estimated at 15,000 years old (following his quote "300 lives of men, I have walked this earth"), It says that Gandalf was the wisest of the Maiar besides Melian herself. There were a lot of Maiar that were considered really great and powerful. However, there is a much longer answer. Like Sauron(former name is Mairon) & the other Istari (the order sent around the same time & of which he was appointed leader but he being who he is & a student of the Vala by the name Nienna & Lorien(Irmo). Gandalf was a Maiar, an angelic spirit created by Eru at the beginning of time and therefor one of the many Ainur who sang the world into being & Eru just helped their creation take shape and basically stated “behold YOUR creation” & basically what happens in that world goes sort of preordained as by that song eons ago so really only the ages after Dagor Dagorath will truly be an age that isn’t full of strife and sadness and longing. Also. These lamps are what were before even the two trees. These were Giant mountains but also like light houses but housing a great power but it may have also been where two special Maia lived that helped in the creation in the sun and moon after Melkor With eldrich terror Ungoliant killed the trees, so yea Arien is the Maia who basically exists with the sun and her brother and or lover of sorts is the one who wanders with and guides the moon. (That other Maia’s name is Tillion) May this help make sense of the movies ahead. Including Peter Jackson’s new films coming soon as well as War Of The Rohirrim
In the book, when Eomer and his troop (an eored, as it is called in Rohan) have their conversation with the Three Dudes, we learn that they lost 15 men and 12 horses. An eored consisted of 120 men.
The "dragon" the Black Rider is on is described in the book as more similar to a vulture: "...it was a winged creature: if bird, then greater than all other birds, and it was naked, and neither quill nor feather did it bear, and its vast pinions were as webs of hide between horned fingers, and it stank...And the Dark Lord took it, and nursed it with fell meats, until it grew beyond the measure of all other things that fly, and he gave it to his servant to be his steed." LOTR doesn't have dragons, but watch the Hobbit movies or read the book, and you'll meet a truly terrifying dragon named Smaug.
Yeah it was supposed to be a vulture creature, but I believe the design Jackson went with was alot more scarier. Considering its kind of a lesser winged creature
Great reaction guys! Just some lore FYI: Though their ancestors were trees, awoken by The Elves, The Ents, of which Treebeard is but one, are now a separate race. Thye tend the forest as, as Merry says, "Treeherders" or "Shepherds of the Forest." In the book there are also trees that can move known as Huorns. The winged creatures The Nazgul is riding is not a Dragon. Though not properly named by J R R Tolkien in the book, they are referred to as "Fell Beasts," a generic term for the miscellaneous evil creatures encountered in Middle Earth. If you want to see a proper Dragon you'll have to watch the prequel trilogy, The Hobbit.
Sounds like the comments had way too many spoilers for not having seen the 3 movies... 1 hour of history and lore? More like tens of hours of those videos to be honest. Impossible to fit in 1 hour. Maybe in 20-30. Very correct observation about the bodies in the bog. Yeah they are from the huge battle many years ago, that was shown in the first movie. Lots of elves and humans died here. Keep it up, waiting for the next part!
Not a Dragon, A Fell beast. There are Dragons in Middle earth but most if not all of them are dead by this time in middle earths history. The prequal movies the Hobbit have a Dragon.

Not all forests are old, no. In fact, there are huge and disastrous ecological consequences cutting down forests that are thousands of years old and replacing them with small forests that grow for ~20-100 years and then cutting them back down. It can take thousands of years for a forest to fully climax, and tons of species are lost in the process humans have been at for all of recorded history now. It is said that a squirrel could once jump across all of Europe or all of the US from tree to tree without ever touching the ground.
Well yeah, the orc and Uruk-hai (orc-folk) can speak. The Uruks were first bred in Mordor, but later by Saruman in Isengard. But the Uruks from Isengard are loyal to Saruman unlike the orcs and Uruks from Mordor, who are obviously loyal to Sauron. Also, there are a lot of different tribes and breeds of orc, and if they would speak their own dialects, they couldn't understand each other. For communication, they use the Black Speech.
Definitely should react to the vast immersive lore videos like moviejoob and omarioRPG have done. Even the music and such. Many of which bring the songs and poems of middle earth legendarium TO LIFE❤❤❤
It's really annoying that everyone feels the need to spoil the gandalf reveal in fellowship. Nobody cares that you read the books. The characters don't know that Gandalf is a Maia, so why should the viewer? If you feel the need to talk about that stuff, wait until the trilogy is over.
the stuff the ORCS are drinking is some form of HERBS liquor. You can buy the next best thing in your local store..there its called Jägermeister ^^.. IF you were MEN youd have ice chilled JM for part 3 .. its already gross ice cold and teh hobbits had to drink it on body temperature. can u drink it ice cold possibly ? ^^

The Nine, the Nazgûl are tied to and connected to the One Ring. While the Ring survives, they do also.
Good catch, his eyes do change. His pupils change when he goes back-and-forth from Gollum to Sméagol..
It's a nice touch on the part of Peter Jackson & Co. In the book, Gollum's eyes glow green, while Smeagol's eyes glow white.

Definitely should react to the vast immersive lore videos like moviejoob and omarioRPG have done. Even the music and such. Many of which bring the songs and poems of middle earth legendarium TO LIFE❤❤❤
Ahhhhhhh 😊 Wher is the rest? /ToZ
Rocky 3 next???
you should watch the special features if you think this is all CGI
It's not

How can you actually enjoy a movie if you are almost sleeping all the time.

It's really annoying that everyone feels the need to spoil the gandalf reveal in fellowship. Nobody cares that you read the books. The characters don't know that Gandalf is a Maia, so why should the viewer? If you feel the need to talk about that stuff, wait until the trilogy is over.
