Ranger Thompson Azog's white warg is the matriarch so being partnered with their mother give Azog authority over them

Francesco Brosolo It may sound gross but what if she liked him as a mate? but nonetheless if she decided she didnt want him around anymore, she could have her wargs kill him

That's because of of his actor Manu Bennett. As written he was kind of a generic baddie, but Bennett kept pressing the directors for how he could portray the character with an emotional side. What resulted was the affection for the wargs

I saw him pet his Warg *I saw it and I loved it*

He is the leader after all

Well Azog is basically the commander of Sauron's armies at that time and is his best hunter, in other words he has several benefits that elevate him over the other orcs and servants.

@@michaelis2958 He is the general of sauron's military

Or he had Bolg to talk to him like that.

Sauron allowed it since no one knew it was him... Gotta keep a low profile you know xD

azog the cleanser is azog the cleanser, no need to bring bullshit star wars comparisons in here. tolkien the defiler already contaminated enough of middle-earth history as it is, we don't need to reiterate his bile and his lies.

Poor Azog Star Wars is cool to buuuuuuuuuut Hobbit/Loftr is muuuuuuuuuuuch Better

Azog would crack Grievous open with his bare hands.

That's General Oakenshield to you.

If you think he’s this ballsy check out the battle of moria in the book he literally killed multiple dwarf kings before going down

PSHHHH

@@gamerstheater1187 Yup and it’s ironically the only time he’s mentioned in the book giving how big of a role he plays in the movies.

That’s Peter Jackson even if you hate his writing love his visuals

lol. I can't help but love that among your stunning locations like Erebor and Mirkwood, we find goblin town

Its all positive. Nothing wrong with the films. Ignore the geek group think, its ridiculously overblown nonsense that only npcs will parrot.

@@jangoescoricky9393 yep, they’re quite clearly not on the same level as the Lotr movies. That’s obvious. But I just fail to grasp where the hatred of the hobbit movies comes from

@@conor506 It depends on how you look at both. The Hobbit is better in certain ways, LOTR in its own ways. But each series does things a bit different... LOTR is very dark and miserable where the stakes initially are higher. The Hobbit is more upbeat overall. I like LOTR a lot but its more of a slog to watch the whole LOTR Trilogy and gets a bit sad. The Hobbit is better at being a light hearted adventure with some danger and its easier to watch honestly. The Hobbit is like a rollercoaster, LOTR feels more like a horror thriller at times which is still awesome. I think the whole brotherhood and friendship themes is handled better at times in the Hobbit trilogy. The Hobbits are all amusing and the side characters are more interesting at times. Both have bitter sweet moments towards the end, LOTR almost feels a biblical epic you need to be in the mood to watch that feels almost like a religious text with its level of detail. While the Hobbit is like a classic, fantasy adventure epic version of that. I'm happy we go both of these classic trilogies before the entertainment industry turned on the general public viewers with the films being made today. We got the great stuff before things turned to malarkey.

HAHAHAHAHA

So true especially when it's a class of years 10 or 11

IT'S OVER 9,000!!!!!

Crixus and Allonon as well as Azog

Spartacus one of the best series

His Azog voice is incredible, highlight of the trilogy for me

Well, there he defeat Thorin, "bring me his head" he suggerate that was an easy fight and its a shame for him to unmount and take his head by own.

I think he was talking about Gandalf when he said "That one is mine." I always watched it that way anyways, like there was no way any other orc could've dreamed of taking on Gandalf.

@@stampVF Hmmm, well, I can see that but... I don't know. If someone chopped my arm off, I think I'd want to dispatch them myself.

@@halleck3 same here lol

It makes me think that in the film universe Azog was some kind of mutant super-orc and after the his death Sauron spent the next 60 years trying a breed and recreate him, leading to the invention of the uruk-hai

nice theory lol Im sure Azog's death left a hole in Sauron's army in terms of leadership

Azog actually truly died, he wasn't in the Hobbit books. It was Bolg who did the shit in the books, and Beorn killed him .: )

yeah it was kinda anti climactic in the book, villain shows up and just gets wrecked lol

*+ricardo ramirez* and to think those Azog-haters say HE is lame and old orcs are better! XD None of those 'scary' Uruk Hai would dare to speak to Saruman like this - who cannot even be compared to Sauron.

No

No you are not, while Azog is nowhere near my most liked villain ever, I’d rank him as an at least above average LOTR villain in fact the only LOTR villains that I like more are Morgoth, Smaug, and Sauron himself.

nope he's awesome and my favourite villian of Hobbit and LOTR

I didn't hear accents and I'm from New Zealand piss off american

My dad is a kiwi and I sensed no nz accent

@AcidDome wait nvm I see now I must be drunk

They had eastern london accent in the LOTR trilogy, not New Zealand.

In these movies they do not speak black speech, it is more of a bastard orc language, only Azog is shown spkeaking ot and only with Sauron, and orcs speaking common speech is actually Tolkien's lore accurate: each orc group has it's own language, so they use common speech while talking to members of different "tribes" which is exactly what they are in the LotR trilogy, vast armies from different orc demographic. In the hobbit trilogy, since they mostly are Under the rule of Azog and Bolg, they speak the same orc tongue, and Sauron uses Black speech.

Seems like Thorin knows Black Speech himself

he aint villain

@@NAZGUL211 Oh, what is he, then?

@@gtaipan7422 gigachad

@@NAZGUL211 Nice,

❤❤❤💯💯

+The DORUK True that ;)

+Tyler Leech lurtz all the way

Lurts is The second best orc/urukhai ;)

Can't even compare the two. Lurtz is just a dumb soldier. Azog is far more intelligent and charismatic. A decorated general

Actually Infamous Lurtz isn't even considered as a real Orc. Its a hybrid species named Uruk Hai; Hybrids

Yes i saw tht xD

It's just the camera angle

Angles bro

Movie mistake

They acc equal height but in the next azog got like an inch on him

I wish he was alive so I could play him in Divide and Conquer.

I know. It’s crazy how he looks different from the other orcs 😯

It's a shame that Azog can only speak Black Speech.He can't speak English unlike other orcs in Lord Of The Rings Trilogy.

Not even bad guys can resist giving their dog a pet

Because pets are always bebes

factss

Errrr............ Strongly Disagree - He had the mighiest army of Earth-eating creatures that could wipe out any other army in 5 seconds. If he wanted to wipe out the entirety of Erinbourne, it would only take a minute. But...... Azog chose to not use this army at all against the dwarves, elves or men.

@@itsSloMo elvish is also made up yet, Tolkien made it into a full blown real language.

*+Jedesis* And they have the right to because this is called personal taste and opinions. BUT. What is not right here, is hating on Azog like a foolish, rabid 8 years old, saying he's nothing good and all shit, and worse, hating on people who like him. Which is sadly very common around here. People just for some reasons can't stand the fact someone DARES to like Hobbit more better than LOTR or Azog more than Lurtz. This is just sad. I like the LOTR movies quite a lot, but... I like Hobbit more, honestly, I don't care for Lurtz at all, because to me he's nothing special. Personal opinion. One of many, I even had a hard time telling him apart from other Uruks at first. CGI or not, they should at least have the guts to admit he has a very original design. While look at the LOTR orcs - most look the same. Yes, they're actors, they have wonderful makeup, but most of Uruks for example look the same. Cannot say the same about Azog, you can tell him apart from others as easily as you'd spot a diamond among coals. This alone is a great thing.

Sapphiresenthiss Bluescales I like both the LOTR Orcs and the Hobbit Orcs, the ideal Orc Army to me would be one made up of LOTR Orcs and Hobbit Orcs with Azog as supreme commander and Lurtz as high ranking subordinate of Azog's.

+Tim Carney I do like both kinds of orcs, too. Just that I like the Hobbit ones (not as much as all of them, but Azog and Bolg) better, but Uruks are amazing as well! I'm glad someone thinks like me! That would be one AMAZING army and a true fear to enemies.

its not that we shit on azog, we shit on orcs in general, bolg and azog are extremely rare cases in terms of orcs, most orcs are small, weak and cowardly, while uruk hai are not, and you can't really say how obedient or disobedient the uruk-hai are considering most of the real uruk-hai we saw, were only a few weeks old. and i like azog, but if him and lurtz fought, i would put my money on lurtz

All orcs are equal u bigot!

Haha soft. The opposit of bolg;) Dam he is so haaaaard. haha

Because of stomach?

BOLGGGGGGGGGGGG ( the strongest orc ever )

😂😂 oh, the irony.

legolas was bled by soft

And in a way he does get what he wanted, he wanted Thorin and his family dead, and he did get that, his bloodline lives on through Dain and his descendants but Azog still managed to kill quite a lot of characters both on and off screen. Overall if you asked me to rank the villains of the the entire saga from the least evil to the most evil, you’d better believe that Azog is one of the characters who would end up among the top 5 most vile.

lmao

Azog is not king

Hapijul Islam he is

The CGI is a little dated but the actual design is amazing.

Agreed, I like Azog’s design and character

@@shadowofhawk55 the CGI is perfect

I still can’t believe they were in theaters, like there’s some people that have never seen them or have ever thought about watching them and it makes me sad lol, just like how some people have never seen Star Wars or something

In Hobbit they should easy won too, all Azog Army had plate armor, big armored trolls and just better strategy but in Peter Jackson logic fishermen won because YES pfff

Tbh ur right

The thing is though that Orcs, in the books, can't speak black speech at all. They use a bastardized form of it but it is different among every tribe, therefore they have to speak Westron amongst each other as well. This is perfectly displayed in the Two Towers when the Uruk-Hai are arguing with the Orcs from Mordor

​@@JRut99 I'm starving, we ain't had nothing but maggoty bread for 3 stinking days!

Manu Bennett

Subject of a failed military experiment.

I didn't even know it was him till I looked at the cast, I now love azog.

The problem is The Hobbit trilogy was shot in 5K exposing the flaw of makeup especially for expression. Look at the evolution of rendering from Unexpected Journey to Battle of the Five Armies to see the improvement. Azog facial expression made a lot of difference that practical makeup would never fully reproduce. Contrast with Lutz having very little facial expression and limited movement.

@@Tippotipo Azog being cgi had no continuity with the orcs we were used to from the LOTR series, which made him look to me like he was painted on top of scenes. I really would have rather they kept the continuity instead of caring about facial expressions for a one-dimensional character like Azog.

Nah. He looked good. Stop the mindless hate

@@zh7334 It's RECKLESS hate. What can men do against such RECKLESS hate.

Tyson Lawson that 'mere dwarf' was the king of Erebor, the king of all dwarves: that's cool enough...

sooo... you know that "mere dwarfs" praticaly destroyed an entire army of dragons by themselves, right? Since you are saying that Azog is the most powerfull middle earth orc, i assume you know enough about the tolkien universe to say that.

Well, that exact thing did happen in the book, but it was Bolg that got killed by Beorn. If you ask me, I think Azog should have still been killed by Thorin as in the movie we got, but Legolas should not have stolen Beorn's kill. We have already seen enough of Legolas claiming the spotlight (especially the Mumakil scene in "The Return of the King"), so there was no need to build him up even more, in my opinion. In fact, I think it would make sense to have Bolg actually defeat Legolas, but then Beorn kills him before Legolas is finished off, saving his life. It would emphasis how powerful Bolg is as an orc, while the usual Legolas fans could still say that Legolas was much younger by that point and, therefore, not as "invincible" as he was in the later LotR movies.

The Blackspeech is cool but it can be a little easier to enjoy their dialogue when you can understand it. One of the good orc scenes the Hobbit movies had was when that guy Narzug who speaks briefly at 0:45 is being interrogated by elves and has to speak English. You get a better sense of that orc-y sneer

Yeah, I also liked it. It is something what fits with Tolkien's world

Haha true ;)

Act ually Infamo us ย

Of course. Azog was slouching.
