There are a ton of great characters. One of my favorites is Samwise Gamge. I also find Lord Denithor one of the most misunderstood characters in the LotR universe, mainly because of how he was represented in the movies.

All.. but likely Sam !!

Aragorn without a doubt, my favorite in the book and made even more so my favorite in the movie with the great performance of Viggo.

Gandalf the grey

Faramir

I just finished watching the Hobbit and then the LOTR and I never realized how freaking good those movies were and how much I love fantasy movie/books with a passion. I sobbed like a baby when it was over and "Into The West" played in the credits. Tolkien is one, if not the best book writer I've ever been able to enjoy. I wish he had written more.

Yeah “Into The West” gets me every time. I’m reading my girlfriend TLOTR Fellowship of the Ring for the first time, it’s great. Keeps the world alive for me that was. 👍🏻

@@ozzyg82 I really wish I had been alive for it in the theater at the age I am now to be able to understand and grasp what the story was fully about and what it truly meant. Honestly one of the best movie trilogies ever in my opinion.

littlehollow Music that’s a good point. I feel lucky, I think I was at a great age for the theatrical release of the trilogy, I really enjoyed them so much. I’m sure there’ll be other great movies released perfect for you too. I hope you get to see the three films on the big screen at some point too.

@@ozzyg82 Me too lol. I don't know if you saw Interstellar, but that's another movie I missed in the theater because I was too young and probably wouldn't have appreciated it as much then like I would now. I won't miss TENET though. (If you even know what that is)

Thank you for sharing keep those memories alive and remember part of them lives on 🙏 ❤

▶️ I watched a movie with him, called "Green Book". Amazingly good! You may like it. Good luck.

Jay Jr I don't watch movies where it's a whole bunch of white savor complex mixed in.

@@SimmSumm I can see why you'd say that. But at the same time I love dude in it from luke cage and I'd welcome a positive movie on race relations at the moment.

Viggo Mortenson. Ah yes. He's the perfect Aragorn. 😊

same

hahaha I love it too! you could remake the whole thing on your own 😂

I’m not crying, I’ve just got something in my eye.

Thanks for sharing that excellent quote. Tolkien's writing should - and never could - be overshadowed by any adaptation of his work.

I love this whole interplay between the two

For me it's a character called "Wei Ying" from a drama called "The Untamed."

He is real!

Same.

Not necessarily fictional 😉

Listen to slow cheetah by the red hot chilli peppers 😉

Not entirely out of thin air. His whole Legendarium has a lot of little inspirations in real world history and mythology, and in filology and linguistics, his area of study. I think the really innovative thing he did was how carefully he brought those elements together, rather than just throwing them in a pile. He payed attention to etymology for the sake of storytelling, bothered with genuinely rigorous consistency (though it has its occassional oversight), as well as presenting fictional historical events with a certain degree of variety and randomness (similarly to how they'd unfold in real history and real world mythic stories). Aragorn, both in the books and the films, is rather interesting for the fact that he finally breaks a certain vicious cycle that's been pursuing his ancestors since the times of Númenor. They always grew too prideful and complacent, then they often used that as an excuse to abuse less-developed peoples, and they fell for Sauron's tricks or even direct influence several times. Númenor paid the price for this, Isildur, his father and brother perished too, the two kingdoms in exile took a beating in later times, and the same sort of prideful mistakes kept reoccuring (the last king of Gondor mentioned in the vid died because he couldn't resist the Witch-king's challenge to a duel in Mordor, and went there like a complete fool). Aragorn's notedly different from the mannerisms of these ancestors by having travelled a lot across the world, often living humbly, getting to know various cultures. Being humble, learning humility and understanding what and who he's fighting for if Sauron is going to be defeated and the Arnor/Gondor royal line be reinstated to the throne. You could say he couldn't have become the person he is if he had a more pampered upbringing and considered his right to rule as a given. He knows he has to properly work for it, and be very principled and very honest, to grow into a king widely accepted by various people. The grammar and some of the pronunciations of Aragorn's mother tongue, Adunaic, and its folk offshoot, the Westron language, was partly inspired by Middle Eastern patterns, in addition to European linguistic patterns. The dwarven language was even more inspired by Hebrew and Arabic, interestingly enough, and the two main elven languages by Finnish and Welsh grammar and pronunciations. Aragorn's own name (and most other Arnor and Gondor names) are in elvish, though, rather than a human language.

Certainly a Genius

Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time is arguably more developed than LOTR.

@@victroiki7321 who is the father of aragorn . In Google if you search elrond it shows aragorn as his child

Yes it's more consistent than the original Star Wars trilogy.

theyre great but nothing compared to the books. you should read them if you have the time.

@@jaycerussell7761 I have read the books, they are great. I'm just talking about the movies, all 3 of them are great.

Meh

Segio Leone's trilogy the man with no name..

Right!!!

I need a new Blue ray, I think the old one had broken due to the constant re play 🤣🤣🤣

just three days ago finished watching all three parts..now starting to watch the hobbit..

Read it y'all!

I do an annual rewatch every July!😌

Legolas met him after the end of hobbit

@@rufersalonky9547 Yes, because his father told him about the young ranger and that he should find him. We don't see the meeting, though, but we know it happened.

@@lyncat it be a lot cooler if u did

@@rufersalonky9547 That story should've been a part of The Hobbit.

well, it was never in the book, and Aragorn would've been quite a bit younger at the time

All over again... does this mean you haven’t watched the triology this week yet ??

I re-watch them every year.

@@animec-dramaskpop6362 i watch them all every other rmonth

@@michaelpledger8951 Damn, that's a lot. I like to watch stand-alones every other month like Troy and Gladiator.

@@animec-dramaskpop6362 dont get me wrong I watch a ton off movies, I rig nets for a living so it means I get to watch films all day, slightly problematic when I stitch my clothes in the net through lack of consintration.. but lotr extended addition are perfect lenghts!!

I think they’re gearing up for the tv show and getting on that train before everyone else does.

Yes, but Arwen had been off visiting her gramma Galadriel during those 20 years (though you'd think that Aragorn would have heard something about her before then either from Elrond or from Elladan & Elrohir; and maybe seen a portrait of her).

also if you think about it any one who is wed nowadays in our world is at furthest 17th cousins, and usually much closer relatives then that

I thought she is Elf how can she be related if they are different species. Aragon is half Elf.

@@jmmmenelik4784 Arwen is a Half-elf, the daughter of Elrond (Half-elven). Aragorn is a Man of the Dunedain, whose distant ancestor was Elros, the brother of Elrond.

@@otaku-sempai2197 and elros wasn't half elf, he was made human. the advantages of the numenorians were a result of perfected humanity being mixed with normal humanity, an elf decided to become mortal after the valar gave a choice, but the valar are awesome, they made the elf mortal, but that elf was still an elf. so the line of numenor lives for a ridiculous amount of time. and the number of years has been enough that even the original numenorians has spread around long life enough that pretty much all numenorians had long life before they even went back to middle earth. phaw, its a long story, a great starter is the silmarillion.

😂 that's a tough comparison though... i mean tolkien did write that stuff plus backstory and everything (languages etc) for quite some decades...

alex taws proves Tolkien cared about his creation and Disney is only in it for the money

@@lizardlad279 cmon, there are really awesome stories and solid/good stories. it doesn't necessarily mean that people are just after the money... (but i'm in NO way saying that you're not right in the case of disney!) i think you can't compare "soap-style"-stories, like avengers, star wars etc (which i enjoy a lot!!) with epic legend stories like the greek myths or tolkiens myths p. s. plus, not everyone has the time and money (!) to be able to spend decades on writing one story-universe (without publishing it i mean)

alex taws what I meant was Star Wars WAS about the story but now it’s not the case

@@alextaws6657 thats exactly what star wars was... a single universe written over 40 years.

Its so much better than Harry Potter which is complete crap Hail King Aragorn long live the King

one of the things i love about the book return of the king is faramir romancing eowyn

greg20067 yes the books do a great job as well as the extended version of the films

@@boomingbob1579 I favour Theatrical cut version since it's first my nostalgia and second it gives us suspense.

@@TheLatiosnlatias02 oh for sure I started with the theater ( non- extended) first as well

@@greg20067 extended helped that

Denethor's sword is so cool, We see him carry it but never seen him took it off

Exactly. Gil-Galad and Elendil kill Sauron at the cost of their lives. Isildur just cuts the ring away from Sauron.

Glorfindel should have brought Frodo and not Arwen. Beregond, Tom Bombadil are missing. 'Scouring of the Shire'

You know, to this day, I still don't like the section with Tom Bombadill; it just seems a pointless side plot. The Scouring of the Shire however, that was Frodo's payback in respect of his return home; should never have been dropped.

That would be crazy amazing!

All you had to do was look in the book. It's all right there.

Competition from different companies

That's bullsh*t from the movies. During the events of the Hobbit Aragorn was a 10 year old kid living in Rivendell. He and Legolas probably met when Aragorn captured Gollum and brought him to Mirkwood

Theres an upcoming TV show on middle earth in its earlier ages so we'll likely see Aragorn. :)

@@bilaliqbal4012 Highly unlikely. It is set thousands of years before Aragorn was born.

If you like LotR lore, you might want to also check out the channel Men of the West, Yoyston, who runs that channel, has tons of great LotR coverage, including character spotlights and the lore of many regions and nations of Middle Earth.

That is what you're going to get with the new Amazon series. :)

@@Serai3 The Amazon series will be in the second age, thousands of years before Aragorn was born

@@gearoidgarvey8266 i think, they make every season about another character, first beeing aragorn, could be wrong, but i'm sure i read it.

Well that's due to the different formats. You only get a couple hours for a movie but books aren't so limited.

Yeah that's gonna be a no from me dawg

@Mr Lesir oo I want a cookie

@@littlehollow Wait, is someone handing out cookies? I wanna a cookie too!

OK, It will be ready in a few days

Legolas is almost 3000 years old

Lol

Yes that bothered me so much

It was stated in the book that by the time Elessar was King, the lifespan of the Numenorean descendants was greatly reduced, and hardly any of them lived past 200.
