I used to think Frodo was annoying when I was a kid but growing up and rewatching the movies I got a better understanding of him as a character. Now I like him.
Well, Peter Jackson nerfed Frodo hard, he is a badass as well in the books. You can really see how the Ring is heightening his powers and making more formidable than from the start, as well as slowly corrupting him.
Fun fact about Bombur (Caseoh) is that he got even bigger. In the Fellowship of the Ring, Gloin tells Frodo that Bombur got so damn fat in Erebor that he needs six dwarves to lift him and move him from his chair to his table. In the book, he was literally just "the fat one"
I'm a straight man, and even I was like "How and why would ANYONE pass on Aragorn?" Also Bao casually saying she'd let Denethor's sons spit roast her , lol.
Frodo gets to much shade. Man literally carried the fate of the world around his neck while resisting the constant seduction the ring employed. Before that all he knew was peace and parties. He a beast.
True but you can see where people get it. He comes off as a bit of a pin cushion with all the stabbings and technically fails to do his job. He succumbs to the Ring and only a combination of Sam's loyalty and Gollums interference saw the Ring destroyed. If it had just been Frodo alone, the gang would have lost.
@@tasbard8545 You're kind of missing the point of Tolkien's works. If it had been *anyone* alone the "gang" would have lost. In fact, if it had been anyone else, no matter who or what they were, they would have failed in the same way Frodo did, if not even sooner. There is likely nobody other than Eru who could muster up the will to destroy the ring. It is heavily implied that Eru himself actually had to intervene at the end and push Gollum into the fires of Mount Doom for things to be resolved. It could not happen any other way. Tolkien's own writing says that in the moment where Gollum takes the ring, "The Other Power then took over: the Writer of the Story (by which I do not mean myself), that one ever-present Person who is never absent and never named." Frodo did not fail to do his job. He got the ring to the precipice of the fires of Mount Doom and into Gollum's hands, as he was destined to. He could not have done it alone, but neither could anyone else have, and likely nobody else could have even gotten it that far.
@rixxy4674 Im saying you misunderstood me. Apologies if i wasn't clear. Im saying that, while I understand how that works. I can also *see how others could come to that conclusion.*
@@rixxy4674 there's even more at play too. Eru tends to work with oaths, like we see with the army of the dead who broke an oath to Isildur made witness by Eru. When Frodo makes Gollum swear on the ring to not betray him, something happens, described somewhat as white light. It's entirely possible that Eru, much like with Isildur, witnessed the "oath" and from then on, of Gollum betrayed Frodo for the ring, he would be dealt with by Eru.
Im starting to see a pattern. Bao wants a man is super big in stature, has the ability to kill you with their pinky, or is an anthropomorphic creature. Suddenly blaidd makes way more sense. Dude checks all three boxes 😂
It's like how Numi is always being Forced to do embarrassing things by Chat. Not of her own will, you understand, she Had to. Punishment streams keep happening to her like random encounters in an RPG.
Fun fact, Aragorn deflected an actual dagger thrown at his head in the last fight of the first movie. He also fully kissed the actor of Merry on the mouth when they shot Samwises marriage scene.
Anyone complaining about Frodo being a wimp is a child. He literally was a completely normal person thrust into the most grueling, punishing, painful journey imaginable, and still got through it. Yeah he had Sam to help him, and wouldn't have succeeded without him, but literally no singular character in the fellowship would have made that journey alone.
An important note about why the Hobbit feels so different compared to the LOTR that people always miss - The Hobbit is work specifically geared towards children, thats what Tolkien wrote it for - the LOTR came to be because of how wildly successful the Hobbit became and he made it into a true masterpiece from there.
That's why the movie adaptations are so weird, they try to tell a children's story as if it's an epic about saving the world like the originals. It's kind of like, and for similar reasons, why every show for like a decade had to get a little more Game of Thrones than it was before. Even if it made no sense to take that story in that direction.
Bao would be a princess sacrificed to a dragon who does NOT want to be saved. A hero rides on up and she's making shooing motions at him, hissing out of the corner of her mouth "Do NOT ruin this for me!". Totally.
also- Sauron coul canonically turn into a werewolf I WOULD smash the goblin king, but not THAT goblin king! I mean Jareth! she wants galadriel's dark queen form
It's takes from first time watchers like these that make me wish so much that we got a flashback scene of Denethor in his prime, as the wise and noble ruler he was, because it explains so much about how Faramir and everyone else in minas tirith acts.
Little of this was a surprise, but it was extremely entertaining. I love how Bao can just let the freak flag fly now. People make fun of her, but we should all aspire to be so truly free.
The fact that you liked Lord of the rings and not The Hobbit, after watching them back-to-back for the first time, makes you among the most based women on the internet.
Just showing up to put in my prediction that Bao picks "smash" for everyone out of pure desperation. It ain't happening, Bao. No one in the LotR universe has an inflation kink.
This specific orc is called Gothmog. He was made for the movie and not in the book. Jackson made him due do Weinstein’s behaviour towards him while making the trilogy.
20:47 to be fair for Lurtz (thats his name I believe), did you see him when he emerged from that breeding pit?! Like damn, I'd go Peggy Carter on him too.
jus because hobbits are smol doesn't make it a village of little boys- he's a safe shota Bao! Pippin & th other one? yea gandalf thought they were annoying too!
chat calling Frodo a bitch & annoying..... bro is the ONLY one in the Tolkien-verse to not immediately fold to the rings temptation. him being a lil bratty cus of the ring is far better of a result than turning into a psychopathic gremlin like Smeagol
Imma need the locations of anyone in chat talking bad about Frodo. Also Frodo lived with Sam and his wife for years before he went to the undying lands, he was Sam's live-in twink bf
The Hobbit movies are terrible, The Hobbit book is a children's story but it became a weird mix between PJ's LotR, the original feeling of the book, terrible Hollywood jokes and a bunch of original shit they put in it.
I personally thought The Hobbit movies were okay. Nowhere near the level of LOTR, but I thought there was some good stuff in The Hobbit. The Riddles in the Dark scene where Bilbo and Gollum have a game of riddles was done really well
Aragorn and Sam are officially Bao's most sane smashes
Truly. Both are literally the pinacole of positive male role models. If your into dudes and you pass and on Sam and Aragorn that might be a red flag 😂
Downright Normal, for once.
As a straight man, Aragorn is indeed the easiest smash.
Sure bud
@@askor500 You saying you wouldn't go gay for Aragorn? You're a goddamn liar if you are.
Well DUH!
aragorn is where i draw a line of my straightness
I'm pretty straight, but I'd give my holes for Gondor😅
I used to think Frodo was annoying when I was a kid but growing up and rewatching the movies I got a better understanding of him as a character. Now I like him.
Oof on the Pippin hate though. I can get if you think he's annoying in the first movie but he did some important stuff in the second and third movie.
Well, Peter Jackson nerfed Frodo hard, he is a badass as well in the books. You can really see how the Ring is heightening his powers and making more formidable than from the start, as well as slowly corrupting him.
Normally I’d say Bao’s mind is diseased, but her Gandalf stance is based af.

Tolkien prediction of CaseOh 💀
"Please don't judge me!"
"I would smash Boromir and Faramir at the same time and make their Dad watch"
.....
Denathor seeing his sons spitroast bao: alright im lighting myself on fire
the house of stewards has failed
I'm a straight man, and even I was like "How and why would ANYONE pass on Aragorn?"

Yall better put some respect on Frodo Baggins!
The Frodo slander from chat will not stand
Im starting to see a pattern. Bao wants a man is super big in stature, has the ability to kill you with their pinky, or is an anthropomorphic creature.
Suddenly blaidd makes way more sense. Dude checks all three boxes 😂
"please don't judge me" she asks knowing she's being judged by everyone.
We all have seen her Blaidd reaction
There can be nothing worse than that!
It's like how Numi is always being Forced to do embarrassing things by Chat. Not of her own will, you understand, she Had to. Punishment streams keep happening to her like random encounters in an RPG.
Chat hating on Frodo like that is wild
They're literally falling into the same trick that characters in the story hit of underestimating him, when he's the heart of the story.
Fun fact, Aragorn deflected an actual dagger thrown at his head in the last fight of the first movie. He also fully kissed the actor of Merry on the mouth when they shot Samwises marriage scene.
Bao doesn't have daddy issues she has grandpa issues.

That works when talking about the book. The movies are just trying to rehash LotR but failing massively.
That's why the movie adaptations are so weird, they try to tell a children's story as if it's an epic about saving the world like the originals. It's kind of like, and for similar reasons, why every show for like a decade had to get a little more Game of Thrones than it was before.

Man, Bao's fan artists are gonna have a field day with this one😂
The entire fellowship can get it
Except Merry and Pippin
Hobbits are teenagers till they reach 50. Frodo was 50 on the same date as Bilbos 111th birthday
we will never forget this day! Hey Saruman isn't that bad he just gave Gandolf a light tossing, don't you also toss salad every once in a while.
Bao: "Gandalf? More like Grand-Dilf!"
To be fair, the films showed Merry and Pippin in a relatively worse light compared to the books, so I can easily understand Bao not liking them much.
Bao would be a princess sacrificed to a dragon who does NOT want to be saved. A hero rides on up and she's making shooing motions at him, hissing out of the corner of her mouth "Do NOT ruin this for me!". Totally.
also- Sauron coul canonically turn into a werewolf
I WOULD smash the goblin king, but not THAT goblin king! I mean Jareth!
she wants galadriel's dark queen form
The big support for smashing Gimli is that there is NO DOUBT that Legolas and him are a package deal.
1:40 I never found Frodo annoying either. Poor guy *LITERALLY* has the fate of the world in his hands. Chat usually has shit taste.
Frodo is like 50 in the books iirc
It's takes from first time watchers like these that make me wish so much that we got a flashback scene of Denethor in his prime, as the wise and noble ruler he was, because it explains so much about how Faramir and everyone else in minas tirith acts.
She forgot the Mouth of Sauron....
Certified *lethal* head with those teeth
@@Phoenix0F8 oh that head is lethal, all right....
Bao's mind palace would look like Gundabad
"I don't know what's wrong with me." Nobody does, Bao.
I was worried for a second when Grima rolled up and she goes "Ok, this guy..."
What that WormTONGUE do?
Little of this was a surprise, but it was extremely entertaining. I love how Bao can just let the freak flag fly now. People make fun of her, but we should all aspire to be so truly free.

Dont think anyone would fault her for not enjoying the hobbit as much
Just showing up to put in my prediction that Bao picks "smash" for everyone out of pure desperation.
It ain't happening, Bao. No one in the LotR universe has an inflation kink.
Farimer had such golden retriever energy 😢 here I'll cheer you up
I mean, Bao do have the height to smash Frodo

20:48
Bao............. come on now......😂
Why isn’t Sauron on here? I’d be gay for Sauron
Merry is pippin's sam.
Gandalf: Bao shall not pass!!!!!!
Bao likes dark medieval fantasy? She definitely needs to check out Dragon Age: Origins then, if she hasn't already.
jus because hobbits are smol doesn't make it a village of little boys- he's a safe shota Bao!
Pippin & th other one? yea gandalf thought they were annoying too!
I SWEAR TO GOD BAO ! IF SAM ISNT A INSTANT SMASH, IM GOING WHALE HUNTING !
Edit: You are safe for now, Bao !
Aragorn is best, we all know
Bao you worry me sometimes 😂😂😂
They barely have a woman and a half over 12h of movie, of course the whole thing is full of yaoi
chat calling Frodo a bitch & annoying..... bro is the ONLY one in the Tolkien-verse to not immediately fold to the rings temptation.

@@MrRenanHappy I do feel like Tauriel could have been left out and the movies wouldn't have been different. The romance felt forced

Do not watch the rings of power for the love of god don't do it
Does she know about Halbrand?
