Agreed 💯👍! I'm definitely a Bilbo fanboy. This guy's resume is crazy! Killed dozens of giant spiders, handled 3 trolls simultaneously, battle of five armies, outsmarted a dragon, outsmarted the wood elves, willingly gave up the ring .... What a Legend!!!!

Technically bilbo didn’t kill the trolls he just bought time for the sun

​@@True-editsYou don't mention _details_ and _technicalities_ in a resume.

I did the sun

@deadsheep1017 -- BEST COMMENT EVER 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

＼（〇◡ｏ）／ Awwww yeah!!!! Some people hate RoP, some people love it.... but either way that super dramatic Halbrand stare is soooooooo funnny!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (there is a chance you and I both have a weird sense of humor 😅)

@@thegreyhavens167 hahahaha don’t stop doing it, and yes kindred humor 😂 I loved rings of power for what it was

Agreed, I also loved RoP. I thought it was great! 😄. They def made some changes, and prob more than I would like, but so did the PJ films which are also great!

​@thegreyhavens167 PJ films had to be cut for time.... What was ROP excuse? Billion dollar company making the show.... I'm glad you guys enjoyed it but I feel like PJ tired but ROP didn't.

@@thegreyhavens167 ROP butchered the Tolkien lore and ruined the essence of the Middle Earth saga…

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Something about that super-dramatic stare is so hilarious, right? I laugh every time!!

100%fax

I dunno. Sam vs Bilbo.... that's a tough one .... but my money is on BB.

True

@@thegreyhavens167same bruh

​@@thegreyhavens167 Same. Bilbo wins

BEST COMMENT EVER!!! 🏆🏆🏆 I never thought of it that way, but I think you are 100% correct! That's a great insight. She would have eaten that ring faster than a Gamgee eats a potato! 🥔

Perhaps, had Shelob consumed the Ring, it would have been destroyed nonetheless, fulfilling the quest... making her the hero of the free people!

Ungoliant fed on light , Shelob fed on flesh. I think she would shit the ring...

Nah Gollum would go in there after the precious. 😂😂

Boromir.... BOROMIR???? I mean his greatest contribution to the party was being so totally wrong ... that it forced Frodo to do the right thing? That and he was also really good at shoveling snow 😂. Alright, next week I am making a video on Boromir. Gotta set the record straight! 🤣🤣🤣

​@@thegreyhavens167🎉

​@@thegreyhavens167 Thanks bro, boromir is my favorite character in the show.

​@@thegreyhavens167 nah you're wrong for that. Boromir is one of the most interesting characters in the movies. His lines at the Council of Elrond about Gondor sacrificing everything while the other kingdoms cower and bicker. And his betrayal of Frodo is from being corrupted by the ring; which makes sense given that he desires anything to help him save his people and the ring promises him that. But when things turn to life and death and Boromirs friends are about to die, he sacrifices his life to try and save them. That's who he is, not the Corruption the ring made him out to be.

Sh*ting on Boromir? U sure a lotr fan my guy? 😂​@thegreyhavens167

Awww yeah!! ＼（〇◡ｏ）／ thanks. I appreciate that.

Awww yeah!!!!! Super glad you like them. Watch all you want, I'll make more! (Honestly, just surprised other people have a similar sense of humor to me 🤣🤣🤣)

​@@angelux2793wait really?

Oh! I totally forgot, starting tonight my grandmother is going to begin reading LOTR. She has been an avid reader her whole life but never once ever read fantasy, I think she is going to be blown away at Tolkien's worldbuilding.

Thanks. I really appreciate that. Honestly wasn't sure if anyone else would have a similar sense of humor to mine 😅. Glad you like them!!

🤔🤔🤔. Let's break it down: - Sauron is an eternal god-like spirit of the universe - 9 super scary ghosts with fear AOE - Bilbo ... Killed dozens of giant spiders, handled 3 trolls, outsmarted a dragon, outsmarted the eternal elves, crazy super lucky all the time - Sam ... An unstoppable Terminator in cute Hobbit skin sent from the future specifically to kill Sauron Yeah ... Sauron is toast 🍞

We need a full length video on this🤣

100% 👍. Bilbo is a Rock Star!!!! Killed dozens of giant spiders, handled 3 trolls, outsmarted a dragon, outsmarted the eternal elves, crazy super lucky all the time... he is a total LEGEND!! (Though I am still convinced that Sam is secretly an unstoppable Terminator in cute Hobbit skin sent from the future specifically to kill Sauron in the past. 🤔)

I personally have never had Hobbit meat, but I would wager even Otto Proudfoot's big smelly feet would be pretty tasty in a stew (assuming Eowyn didn't make it 🤢)

🤣🤣🤣🤣. Yes! I'm ashamed to say I haven't seen it yet. It's in my list to see though. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Bilbo Baggins is such a LEGEND!!!! (Martin Freeman killed that role!)

@@thegreyhavens167 I couldn’t agree more! His personality and mannerisms are perfect for Bilbo.

Agreed 👍. The Hobbit movies were missing something to me.... still good but something was just... Off. I can't quite put my finger on it. But one thing is clear to me: every scene with Bilbo in it was fire and most of the scenes without him are not. The actor was amazing!

Awww yeah 😎!!!!! Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm having waaay too much fun making this nonsense 🤣

​@@thegreyhavens167 how did the urki hai know what a menu is

Awww yeah!!! (⁠ノ⁠^⁠_⁠^⁠)⁠ノ. Whose a cooler villain than Aku, the shape shifting master of Darkness!!!! Bra ha ha ha .... 🤣

It's because the hobbits (particularly Shire hobbits) do not have a culture of ambition. There is simply very little that they desire or know about. Boromir, although good, had a lot of ambition, especially since it was his duty to protect his people from Sauron. Most men live in places surrounded by threats. Elves are tempted because they know a lot. The more you know, the more you desire.

@@jacobgarcia7918 that makes sense but I thought the ring had a supernatural allure to it that surpassed even things like culture so that even a caveman would desire it, or am I wrong?

@@brodyestes2376 supernatural allure yes, but it still appeals to the individual heart. It is just a very tempting artifact. Tolkien was a devout Catholic and Catholic concepts are all over the books. In Catholicism, no one can be forced to sin and all have the ability to resist temptation.

Great question. My personal opinion in the book (maybe unpopular 🤨? ) the ring is different from the film. Honestly, most people just are not obsessed with it in the same way as the film. Sam, Faramir, Aragorn, Glorfindel, Tommy B, Elrond... all people who come in contact with the Ring and honestly just don't care too much. - Faramir says if he saw it on the side of the road, he still wouldn't pick it up. - Elrond put the chain on it while Frodo was in a coma - so he picked it up - but by all accounts not tempted. The only people who become seriously tempted are either A) folks with LOTS of exposure to it (months/years/etc) or B) folks that desire to rule/control (Sman, Lady G). Most regular characters though... not a problem. It would destroy them, they know it, and they don't want it. In my read, the book just isn't really about the ring too much. It's SAURON that is the threat - and the ring is just a means to an end. In the films, Sauron doesn't really appear in the movies so instead it's kinda the RING that's the threat. I like both versions, but to me they are very different. What do you think?

Smeagol was not. Sam however, very much so. Mostly because he only wants a garden, and not too big because he wants to work on it. Or maybe he was homesick.

Awww yeah!!!! ＼（〇◡ｏ）／ Thanks! Glad you liked the video (had waaaay too much fun making it...😅 )

Ok, ok, ok.... I see your point.... but: * Sam stood underneath Shelob with Sting held up and Shelob plopped down on top of him and got cut. Like... it's cool I guess... * Bilbo single handedly fought an entire army of giant spiders while epically trash talking them and leaping through the branches of giant trees like an super saiyan anime ninja!!! BILBO WAS A ROCK STAR!!!! (Or at least, that's how Bilbo tells the story in his book 🤣🤣🤣)

@@thegreyhavens167 Bilbo had a magic ring, so he was able to stealthily eliminate all the spiders that captures dwarves. Anyway, it does not mean that Bilbo is worse than Sam. They both are the best

If the kids have the height of the dwarwes I think we can call them "Quarter-Elf" 😂

Hmmmmm, is this comment from Gandalf or Gollum 🤔🤔? Looks like there is some sabotage going on here. Using my Scooby Do powers I have determined the true identity is none other than... Annatar "The Lord of Comments".

Great questions 😄! The deal was something like "please don't eat me, and in return I will bring you something better to eat". No indication that it was really more specific than that. He also bowed down to her and worshipped her in the dark ... Kinda creepy. He brought the two Hobbits in about 2 years later. Note when they slept near the cave, Smeagol snuck off at night, found Shelob, and told her he was bringing in some tasty, tasty Hobbits. So Shelob was hungry and ready.

@@thegreyhavens167 thank you great keeper of... records. I'm a fan of lotr, but damn, haha, your chan has plenty of trivia. Bet you're undefeated in scene-it games, the competition doesnt even show up to play anymore, they just quit and stomp off into the shadows. Thumbs up👍👍

Interesting 🤔🤔🤔.... The main events take place in 3018 and 3019. I don't remember the dates in the films. Looks like I'm watching LOTR again this weekend 😅

@@thegreyhavens167 lol

WHAAATTTT??????? Sam > than Bilbo ಠಿ_ಠ ?? Ok, first of all, I totally agree that Sam was basically an unstoppable Terminator machine disguised in cute hobbit skin sent back from the future specifically to destroy Sauron. That's a given, of course. But Bilbo's resume is legendary! Killed an army of Giant Spiders single handily while jumping through the trees like an anime ninja! Outsmarted the eternal elves! Fought in the battle of five armies! Ending dragons... three trolls simultaneously.... Epic Poetry Concerts for the Elves.... BILBO IS A ROCK STAR!!!!!! But we agree on one thing, Sam should totally have slapped that baby Frodo in the face and took the ring himself 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@thegreyhavens167 ok, Bilbo is a legend in/of his time. Buuuut sam & rosie had 13 kids (poor rosie) and went mayor of hobbiton 7 times and ended up with bag end. (from what i believe, maybe you could do a vid on that). Now that's heroic I do have a vid request if you haven't done it yet, prince imrahil from dol amarth, while he is briefly in rotk movie but the book has more of him and his men at minas tirith.

Awww yeah 😎!!! Didn't know you even needed an Aku-Sauron did you 🤣🤣🤣

YES YES YES!!!! Farmer Maggot is a LEGEND!! ╰(°▽°)╯ The most underrated character ever (except maybe Bill the Pony). I mean the Witch King marches right up to his front door, and this little hobbit (with no training or weapons) just puts the Nazgul in his place and gives him a tongue lashing.... and Witchy runs away as fast as he can. What a legend.

@@thegreyhavens167 Thanks!

I dunno, I think you might be wrong in this one... that over dramatic Halbrand stare is absolutely hilarious!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I lmao every time I see it!!! It's amazing!!!!! (besides, nothing funny about ol helmet head from the films)

True, he never saw Shelob but he did meet many, many giant spiders..... he fought dozens of them single handily while trash talking and jumping through the trees of Mirkwood like an anime ninja. Killed many with Sting. ( Or at least, that's how Bilbo tells the story 🤣)

Let me give you two answers: * Movie Ring: has a mind, personality, whispers sometimes, seems to have agency, etc . * Book Ring: IMHO, none of those. It never "does" anything or speaks of whatever. To me it is pulled towards it's natural place (with Sauron) but not by it's own agency.... just by nature. Like gravity or magnetism maybe. Just as hot air rises, the ring is attracted to the rest of it's own spirit. What do you think?

@@thegreyhavens167 Thank you for your answers! I agree, the ring being drawn back by whatever force makes way more sense-- mostly because he put like all of his power in it and that connection has to be strong. Also, the ring has a lot of power but if it had as much agency then either Gollum (or even those before) would have been controlled back to Sauron way sooner or the ring doesn't want to get back to Sauron, which doesn't make much sense because isn't it more powerful with Sauron? Why would he make a ring that would want to escape him and rule by itself? What is the power that it actually holds? I didn't get the sense that it had gained some kind of consciousness.. sorry that's a lot of questions, I'm just getting into the series and there's so much and it's so fun to learn and talk about it

Let me give you two polite challenges: 🤔 Tolkien never said Annatar was elvish.... he just said he had a fair form. And Gandalf and Saruman are clothed in human form, not elf... so there is a precedent there. So I'm not saying he was def a man, but instead wondering why you are "pretty sure he was never a man"? 😅 Most importantly... if you dont find that super over dramatic Halbrand stare directly into the camera SUPER HILARIOUS, then we just dont have the same sense of humor. 🤣🤣 I lmao every time I see it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's SOOOO funny! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

In LOTR: The Third Age, they can use fire magic. As for the source material... _sorry, amateur on the subject._ 😅

Realistically, we have to separate The Hobbit from The Lord of the Rings. At the time of it’s writing, Tolkien had not yet conceived the idea of the ring being malevolent. It was just a magic ring that made the wearer invisible, nothing more. This served as a convenient plot device to help Bilbo fulfill his role as The Burglar as successfully overcame situations with spiders, trolls, elves, a dragon, and even five armies fighting each other. But, the ring never oppressed him, weighed him down, or tried to darken his soul. In the first edition of The Hobbit, Tolkien wrote Gollum just handing the ring to Bilbo because he acknowledged Bilbo as the rightful winner of the riddle game. Gollum then proceeds to show Bilbo the way out. But, years later, when Tolkien was pressed by his students at Cambridge to write more work about Middle Earth, he rewrote Gollum as a maniacal, obsessed creature who couldn’t bear to be parted from his “precious” and would even kill with wicked glee to re-obtain possession of it. And, thus, began the notion of The One Ring being malevolent and having a more sinister back story which Tolkien would go on later to write about in The Lord of the Rings.

That's a great question! Here is my personal read of things: - when Sman captured Merry and Pip, he thought he had essentially captured Frodo and Sam, he thought they had the ring - Merry and Pip escaped during a Rohan raid of the orcs, so he just assumed they were with the Rohirrim. - when Gandalf and Aragorn went to Edoras, that kinda proved to Sman that they were there to protect the ring So Sman didn't attach Helms Deep for military strategic reasons, but rather because he thought the Fellowship was at Helms Deep with the Ring and was after the ring. That's my read, but others could see it differently. What do you think?

@@thegreyhavens167 That's actually pretty reasonable! Thank you :)

​@@thegreyhavens167i think that It was for another reason, at least in the books, Saruman lunches his definitive attack against Rohan when Theoden is convinced by Gandalf to fight, his troops defeat Erkebrand's forces at the Isen Fords but they are unable to kill them all and most Rohirrim manage to escape, then his troops notice that Theoden is very near with the 1000 men from Edoras and that he is retreating to Helm's Deep, at that point Saruman's army has to choose, they can ignore Theoden and his men, continue their invasion and Risk being attacked in the rear by 1000 elite cavalry, or they can go after him to Helm's Deep and try to kill him before the rest of Rohan has time to reorganize and come to help him, if they suceed they also behead the leadership of Rohan, both Theoden and Eomer would be dead and since Erkebrand is nowhere to be found that means that there wouldnt be anh Marshall in Rohan to lead the remaining troops. And in movie and book Edoras was empty, in the books the civilians left with Eowyn and went to Dunharrow

Not at all really. If Rings of Power is a 5/10 for lore-accuracy, Shadow of War would be like a 2.

🤣🤣🤣. I almost want to play the game just to see if it's really that bad....

I don't know what to tell you.... whether you love or hate RoP, that super over-dramatic Halbrand stare is SUPER HILARIOUS!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I laugh like crazy every time I see it. It's so funny!

Sorry you didn't like the video. If I could ask, what was it that you felt was lame? Thanks!
