LotR was written by a man who survived one the worst battles of WWI, but it's also one that helps the reader survive their own worst battles of life. And in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even the darkness must pass.

Bruh ! I'm glad I could Help!! Stay safe!!!

I wish he got to read this comment. I’ve seen entire comment threads conversing about Sir Christopher Lee! Met Tolkien several times too and JRR Tolkien himself said if there was to be a adaptation done in love he’d want Christopher to play as Gandalf or Saruman! ❤

Then the Nazgûl laughed. And said quite a chilling thing. Phil Dragash brings all the characters to life.

The movies are masterpieces but they do Isildur some unintentional injustice. (To show consistency of the coercive & corrosive power of the ring), In book he NEVER succumbs to the ring, he instead spends his time being a fair ruler who practically gave power away to the people INSTEAD of being power hungry. He comes to realize that he is not powerful enough to truly bend the ring to his will. That it will eventually overcome him. Isildur resolves to give the ring to Elrond but is killed on the way to Rivendel. It's a tragic story of a man that tries to right his wrong but ultimately fails. In the books isildur literally repented and was about to bring the ring to Rivendell and apologize as he recognized it was beyond him even for a great numenorean connected to the faithful line of the mighty Elendil I preface the prologue & war, other depictions I LOVE, captured the themes WELL, the vibe of the whole trilogy! The significance of the duel between Elendil & Sauron was Nerffed; (He wasn’t some random old bloke in armour getting smacked around) This man was MIGHTY and gleaming with power which you’ll find out in the great videos you’ll soon react to with joy! * He and Gil-Galad; last true Elven King battled Sauron and slayed Sauron’s physical body and both died in the process. GilGalad was held high by the face for all free peoples to see as he then incinerated his bodily form to a crisp of ash! Isildur was part of the fight too but not as prominently and he just comes up to the body to cut the ring finger off and…. So one example is how easily Sauron is killed in the intro. * • He's set up as this super powered badass, but all you have to do is cut off his finger? That's not how it went down in the book, where the greatest man-king and the greatest elven-king had to double-team Sauron to strike down his body, but were killed in the effort (Isildur then cuts the ring from the corpse). Especially for elves the title of king has many meanings & by the Third Age there isn’t a population large enough to even attempt to such a thing as creating a unified kingdom, which would put a target on their backs, let alone many of them are beyond all of that anyway as it’s seen as doing more harm than anything good. * They also seen what happened when the elves fell upon the swords of their own hubris and passion no matter if it was for the right reasons some of the time. That it always ended up in some sort of tragedy which sometimes even damaged the earth itself. They had long known about what’s called the Long Defeat as ever since Morgoth’s marring of the land itself; pouring his remnants into it that caused the “magic” to slowly drain away from the land itself, which is sad because for ages several clans of elves were born there. even the greatest ancestors were “born” in middle earth awakening to the stars ! Many of who are left have accepted the next phase of their life which is to become councillors, healers and loremasters to those with the heart to listen and the desire to learn. But above all the guardians and custodians of several things and the world itself for as long as they can remain!❤ The elves “exist” as long as the world does. And Tolkien made it obvious in many ways that it’s our world as he restored Anglo Saxon culture/Mythologies and folklore, and their languages too alongside Irish, Welsh and Finnish mythologies too. Especially Norwegian(of which I am) This is what Amazon (the show that shall not be named) didn’t deliver either [[AKA the actual story which inspired everything we love into existence with games and movies and books and so forth. Skyrim, elder scrolls, oblivion, Diablo, and world of Warcraft and D&D. And Game Of Thrones was hugely inspired by Tolkien… yet as the godfather of everything and the heart of what caused many peoples lives to be saved cannot get the justice it deserves for adaptations? People literally conquered cancer because of the books and the trilogy, the books were read to their children for years. All 25 of them. The man was a hugely respected scholar and professor in the world. Translated ancient artifacts and hieroglyphs and petroglyphs and so forth for the government etc. (JRR Tolkien even rejected being recruited into the CIA several times & he wrote everyone by letter and referenced the dudes who came to him as “little boys who knew not what they got themselves into” which showed his fearlessness.). The readers of the trilogy that came out are who he writes back to despite always replying to everyone back and forth. Many people have shared the stories regarding these conversations which were past down throughout the family lines of the people who had a personal relationship with Tolkien which was hundreds of people when he was alive. Thousands. (Some are in video format too or happened to be shared later on in the video or comes up during a video about him and his work. Especially nowadays when many of us came out of the woodwork to defend professor Tolkiens legacy from amazons money grubbing hands and so forth. Giving many channels a new lease on life where some make Tolkien related content now amongst other things they create content wise.

I got you!! Thanks for your support!

The 9 Nazgûl are blind and basically deaf also, they can only "smell" the ring and the energies of the Unseen Realm. Sauron was always weary of The WitchKing Of Angmar, (The Leader Nazgûl), would launch an attempt to usurp his power. He and his forces almost singlehandedly destroyed the three kingdoms of Númenoreans, at the region of Arnor, mainly by spreading plagues upon the land with what is called The Black Breath. How sad is it that they "achieved" a twisted form of immortality but now they cannot interact with nor enjoy the world around them. The envy a portion of the Númenoreans had for the elves. basically led these individuals to such a choice, one by one of the 9 falling to Sauron at different speeds, and some even did good for the world for quite a while.

Nice seeing you again my friend. ❤️

Let’s see if you recognize the other 25 book! The Silmarillion (1977) Unfinished Tales (1980),Children of Húrin (2007) Beren and Lúthien (2017) The Fall of Gondolin (2018) The History of Middle-earth (12 volumes, published between 1983-1996): - The Book of Lost Tales, Part One (1983) - The Book of Lost Tales, Part Two (1984) - The Lays of Beleriand (1985) - The Shaping of Middle-earth (1986) - The Lost Road and Other Writings (1987) - The Return of the Shadow (1988) - The Treason of Isengard (1989) - The War of the Ring (1990) - Sauron Defeated (1992) - Morgoth's Ring (1993) - The War of the Jewels (1994) - The Peoples of Middle-earth (1996) - The Hobbit(There and Back Again) [1937] The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship( 1954) The Two Towers (1954) The Return of the King (1955) I missed “The Lay of Leithien" which is an ancient style long narrative poem by J.R.R. Tolkien, which tells the story of Beren and Lúthien, one of the great love stories of Middle-earth. Other stories were included in it too which helps us glean so much more information on what else was happening in that era in a more satisfying way. The poem was initially written in the 1920s and 1930s, and was later revised and expanded by Tolkien over the years. It was eventually published posthumously in the book "The Lays of Beleriand" as part of "The History of Middle-earth" series in 1985. I apologize for the confusion. "Laws and Customs of the Eldar" was actually first published as a part of "Morgoth's Ring" in the year 1993. However, it was later re-published as a separate book with the same title in 2018, edited by Christopher Tolkien.

Jabroni?

It’s way more detailed than that - The movies are masterpieces but they do Isildur some unintentional injustice. (To show consistency of the coercive & corrosive power of the ring), In book he NEVER succumbs to the ring, he instead spends his time being a fair ruler who practically gave power away to the people INSTEAD of being power hungry.

Nice seeing you back my friend

The Nazgûl are 4000+years old. They were in their glorious mighty prime prior to the fall of Númenor if not long after as they may have already been in middle earth prior to said fall to the bottom of the sea.

The current ages of the characters: Frodo Baggins is 53. Samwise Gamgee is 38. Meriadoc Brandybuck (Merry) is 36. Peregrin Took (Pippin) is 28. Gandalf (Olòrin) - is 15,000 (in his current form. Aragorn is (won’t say, you’ll find out). Legolas is 2,931. Gimli is 139. Boromir son of Denethor II is 41! Elves aged differently than men and dwarves. They did not suffer from old age or disease, and their lives were not limited by a fixed number of years. Instead, they aged very slowly, remaining youthful and vigorous for much longer than mortals. Though they could voluntarily leave their bodies and the ultimate thing that can kill them is grief or Sorrow that’s palpable enough for them to just not wish to live anymore. Here are the ages of some of the main Elves of the Third Age, as of the War of the Ring: 1. Elrond Half-elven - over 8,586 while his daughter is 3,777 old! 2. Galadriel - around 20,000(180.000 in solar human years [1 elf year is one lifetime of man] but time is counted, felt & experienced very differently before the birth of the sun and moon. ❤) 3. Celeborn - 20,000; (he may have been alive before her birth or around the same time as his lineage that he lived amongst his forefathers and kin might suggest he is older but they are both very ancient.) 4. Glorfindel (replaced scenes with Arwen in the movies but it helped prop up Aragorn’s Film character progression. I still think they could have incorporated them both in the scenes somehow and included the other important stuff that went on in that forest meeting Glorfindel and his company of elves)- he’s over 2,000 (although he had been re-embodied after dying in the First Age which means his Fëa {spirit} is far older than 2000.) 5. Thranduil - over 8000, (as he was born in the First Age and lived in Doriath with his father Oropher; Thranduil is also the father of Legolas. (As Haldir mentioned him when speaking to Legolas in Lothlòrien during the first movie’s extended scene. He shares the same kindred elven clan as to Celeborn(Galadriel’s husband). It's worth noting that Elves could choose to die voluntarily, usually when they grew weary of life or when they had fulfilled their purpose in the world. However, their spirits would then depart to the Halls of Mandos and could eventually be re-embodied in a new body I meant to add that Frodo was 51 when he left due to the whole Gandalf coming back to the shire after many years. that explains why his youthful appearance didn’t change much throughout the entire film!

@@Makkaru112 Lol Ive been here, I haven't gone anywhere.

@@Makkaru112 Yeah I figured, It's been over a decade since I've read the books ... I used to be such a big reader but over time my vision hasn't been good and more so now that I'm having to wear reading glasses after my 25th. Im 33 now, Im not able to read for very long anymore b/c my vision starts to blur and the words tend to float off the screen or page 😭 I wish I could turn back time in order to restore my vision back 20/20 even wearing glasses runs in my family.

Idk if I wanna hit that pipe LOL

Sorry to disappoint you, but they are only smoking ordinary tobacc.

I Appreciate your insight Zoe. Thanks for your support!!

@@Treyreacts11 please watch richienicksgeeking’s top 10 fellowship extended scenes. You’ll be amazed how much you missed that connects to the next two films.

Bro that’s the only option 🤣

Am I lying though?

@@Treyreacts11reminds me of what a black gay reactor said when first seeing Saruman.

Thank You!!! I appreciate your support Jane !

They got me and my twin bro

Actually, they DO mean harm, if you're talking about the fanboys who go around to reaction videos and say nasty things to people who don't take the movie as seriously as they believe it should be taken. If people don't go into this movie with "appropriate" reverence, those guys leave all kinds of nasty comments, and they absolutely intend those comments to be mean. You seem like a nice person, so you're probably just giving those others too much credit. My suggestion is to not make excuses for mean people, and when people show you who they are, you should believe them.

How can you say they're not humanoid? They're literally played by human beings.

In the book, yes. In the movie, they're clearly not smoking tobacco. You can dislike that all you want, but let's not ignore reality just because you don't like it.

Yeah. Sure.

Who tf you think you are ? Imma do what I want, go watch somebody else.

@@Treyreacts11they don’t mean any harm. When one sees how epic these movies are and how both the books and the trilogy inspired every single videogame, movie and hundreds of books from many other authors over the last century. The original trilogy books (out of the other 25 published after his death that came long before the trilogy books were ever put out there publicly. The books won book of the century award! CENTURY. Meaning nothing has topped this movie trilogy since 25 years ago. This has been said by millions worldwide.

Do you know that you can click off a video you don't like, rather than try to tell the creator how to make content? Maybe the content isn't for you, which is fine. Not everything is for everyone. But telling a creator how to make content is totally arrogant and obnoxious.

If you keep your room well ventilated(Window fan and Air purifier right next to me), regularly wipe down surfaces and wash your stuff your room wont smell.

@@Treyreacts11oh for sure. That’s definitely the way to do it. But Timlois2445 was razzing you. He was kidding. He hopes you can handle it! 😅😂❤

Damn I’m sorry, you definitely needed those 10 mins to figure out something better to do with your life than be right here typing this.

@@Treyreacts11 I actually had about an hour to waste and thought I'd watch your reaction. I even have one more minute to reply to your comment. You ain't cut for the job, mate and there's no shame in that. All the best.

@@lethalchocobo1886 Your opinion. I'm enjoying his videos just fine.

@@JessieNebulousGaming Cool story.

Unfortunately Maurizio, I've watched the movies you've suggested already. Loved them all!! Thanks for the love though !!

Appreciate you Fam!

Its back up gang!

Thanks I Appreciate You!!
