Lord Chara I agree!!! Am I the only one that had some video called “why the hobbit sucked” on my recommended!!!???

Lil_ Drag69 sorry but I can’t agree with you on that. Though I respect your opinion and can see why you might not enjoy the movie as I did.

Lil_ Drag69 well some people can remember the dwarves names....like me...I have no life. I still liked the movie though gonna be honest

Lil_ Drag69 I watched LotR long before I watched hobbit

Lil_ Drag69 I don’t know I just like the movies. Can we both agree that the books were better than both series’ (especially LotR)?

Chiefest and greatest of movie dragons. Huge. Intimidating. Commanding. Super powered. Shrewd. Charismatic. AWESOME!!! 🤩

Lukimus Prime His lack of proper screentime in The Battle Of The Five Armies is what places The Desolation of Smaug higher up in my ranking of the Hobbit movies!

Sudip Bose if you like Smaug you should look up Grigori from Dragon’s Dogma, just as terrifying and extremely intelligent

He got 48 minutes of screen time in total but I want more

Dragons are so cool.

Probably very short (considering for how little he was featured in the Silmarillion book). Glaurung's theme on the other hand...

I would probably sound a bit cumbersome, just like any large threat. I wouldn't mind hearing it, though, just to see what it sounds like.

@@fm-filmmusic6481 No not really, as the book describes the battle with Ancalagon to be very long and considering how movies have longer battles than books generally, Ancalagon could be shown a lot. Also movies tend to change things from the books so yeah. Glaurung would have a long theme and he'll probably be a more important version of the Witch King as he was a lieutenant of Morgoth's armies.

Who names the dragons? The dragons themselves? Did they also have a hierarchy and king and stuff like the eagles? And wargs?

@@codybender5332 sadly Tolkien wrote very little about the dragons, except that they were created by Morgoth as a weapon, and that some escaped into the north when he lost the war against the Valar (gods), while most were killed.

Ikr all the lines from Smaug are so fantastic, the Hobbit trilogy is so overhated

@@SpeedyColaGaming by itself, I think it’s not too bad, but compared to the LotR trilogy, in which every single movie is an A+ 10/10 masterpiece, I can understand the backlash. Personally, I’m with the former, I don’t really hate it at all, I think the second movie is great. However, I’m not like a “humongous fan” or anything, either

@@SpeedyColaGaming i didnt hate it but i also didnt love it like the original. It was a solid 8/10 id say.

Well Spoken :D

Isn't a dragon supposed to have four legs, and wyverns two?

But those aren't legs. Brenna said legs.

Sigiswulf I suppose if you want to think of it that way. But the number of limbs does not make or break a dragon. The common Western dragon does indeed possess six limbs, and the wyvern four. But Eastern dragons only have four limbs--and yet they are true dragons. The South American ampitheres, or "Quetzalcoatl", only have wings. Despite having wings for forelegs, Smaug cannot truly be a wyvern. Generally, wyverns lack the ability to spit flames, while Smaug's entire body is infused with fire. Intelligence is also an important distinction. Wyverns, while closely related to dragons, are mere beasts--think being attacked by a scaly bear with talons. Dragons are extremely intelligent, typically able to speak, and they not only love riddles but are clever enough to beat a human in such a game. There is an immense amount of variation in the dragon species, from powerful, armored beasts to long, lithe wingless Ancients of the East. They can embody any element, though of course Fire Drakes are the most well-known. Some dragons have such unusual features as feathers (like the ampitheres) or multiple heads (the fearsome hydras). The African amphisbaena has no limbs and a head on either end of it's body! It seems a little unfair to consider Smaug a wyvern based only on his wing configuration. After all, Glaurung, the Father of Dragons, lacked wings entirely!

Just saying, you said legs, not limbs.

Forgive my ignorance, but are there possibly more dragons in the Whithered Heath? Or are they just Cold Drakes?

Nope, Smaug was the last dragon. Cold Drakes, maybe, but in very low numbers.

Ah i see. Thanks for that, im a junior lord of the rings history fan, im just getting into the lore.

You can find a lot of good sources on the LOTR wiki and stuff, plus a bunch of unofficial forums.

Dimitri Petrenko That is amazingly written! As an over-obsessed fan of Smaug, I thank you for the great description!

"My armor is like ten-fold shields, My teeth are like swords! My claws, spears! The shock of my tail. . . A THUNDERBOLT! My wings. . . . A HURRICANE! . . . And my breath. . . . DEATH! Well? WELL?! Where are your riddles now?

And yet he died by a small arrow.Wow physics

Weak spot he didn't know about. And the "Black Arrow" was implied to be magic anyhow.

That was a typo on the scrip, should have been morning-breath.

*enter a knight dressed in dragon scale armor* "My armor is... your mom!"

he is considered small? i can only imagine what older dragons look like

he is considered small? i can only imagine what older dragons look like

@@spilledsoup7391 The largest of the Winged Dragons of all time was Ancalagon the Black, he was so massive that when he died, he flattened three volcanoes and the greatest fortress of evil in the First Age. Not the oldest per se as dragons were more bred to be living weapons rather than mere servants.

​@@spilledsoup7391 He's way smaller in the book.

He was the last of the great dragons as far as I know. The other dragons of the north being the fire and cold drakes

I love that part

Its a gamelan music

This is what I hear when I read the scene in the silmarillion where Glaurung entrances Turin

Also listening to this at 10:00 at night makes you super tired and then blasts you back awake with the next part

Lol

I think Peter Jackson catches Smaug's personality perfectly, in that scene where he finishes one of his strafing runs over Lake Town, and he looks back at Erebor as if to say "Did you see that? What do you think of that, my little Dwarven McNuggets?"

@@WashuHakubi4 "Dwarven Mcnuggets". Sounds like some type of food option they'd serve at a McDonalds run by Dragons.

WashuHakubi4 "Dwarven McNuggets". I died 😂

“Perhaps it is time I pay them a visit.”

That would be Morgoth

@@cuitaro True but Tolkien did say that Sauron had a part in every scheme and great plan Morgoth devised.

Those parts are more so because they switched forth and back between Erebor with Bilbo and Smaug, talking about the creeping darkness of Sauron, and Gandalf in Dol Guldur

The Master of Lake Town REALLY disliked it.

Sauron and his Orcish Cronies liked.

You are being used, thief in the shadows. You were only ever a means to an end. The coward oakenshield has weighed the value of your life and found it worth nothing.

I’m almost tempted to let you take it. And watch Oakenshield go mad.

But I think not. I think our little game ends here.

@@rufousthefox9766 tell me.. what kind of way you wish to die?"

You must always have nightmares man

I think if they kept it at 2 movies and had the battle after Smaug's death and follow the book and make it so that bilbo is knocked out early on, so the battle is shortened

@@namast3260 There is a fan edit out there which experimented with what the hobbit would have been like as 2 movies. Smaug is the mid-point of the second film and the five armies battle is shortened with re-edited sequences which make it better overall. Whilst the edit removes more of the silly parts of the films such as most of the Alfrid stuff, enough is left in to keep each film over 3 hours long. e.g. the necromancer plot is kept in but restructured to better fit the main story, which keeps the focus on Bilbo, Thorin and Gandalf. Here is a link to the trailer is interested: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/apuFgNB_0MXRqYU.html

I think h eshouldve had way more screen time

Oh god Kili x Toriel from UT oh jeex that typo became a ship I never want to see in 1,000 years.

Kili and Tauriels relationship was so odd, I would have preferred them being good friends, but we don't really get a choice with how we interpret the relationship.

I was so surprised when I’m found out that this was Benedict

ok

Drakes do have wings, on their back.

@@Mayan_88694 drakes have 4 legs a tail and no wings look it up

Battle of the Pelenor fields would've ended a lot faster lol

It was actually Gandalf's worry that Smaug would ally with Sauron, however it would have been harder to convince one like Smaug to join any battle because he had already the treasure after all. Unless of course Sauron could have done an offer that would be so high temptation, that no dragon could resist it. Then I think many battles would have ended faster/differently.

@@Cynderfan35 i think Sauron could probably use him because dragons were born to serve Morgoth. If Sauron uses the same magic/charm as his former master, maybe it could be done

Well the we wouldn't have A hobbit
