- psa this took me like two weeks and I used the extended versions I can't believe it's only an hour long halle-fucking-lujah
if you want to look at all the shit in this as sweet/cute rather than gay that's doable but I'm here for: sam/frodo, legolas/gimli, aragorn/arwen, maybe aragorn/boromir and I guess I'm ok with legolas/aragorn but I don't actively ship it
I think it's weird that Smeagol and Deagol are cousins because it seems like there's something Fishy going on there but I'm not here for incest ships so idk. same with merry/pippin who i have just been informed are also cousins
starting today i will no longer be dignifying homophobic comments with a response, I'm just gonna delete them. bye

Frodo: hey you know what maybe i don't want to suffer through this, haha
Gandalf: hey too bad haha
the whole series- a summary:
everyone: Frodo yes
Frodo: Frodo no
@@JolynHenry Rip Frodo :,)
Hahahahahahahahaahahahahhaha..........
Sauron: *manipulates Frodo to sendero him to Mordor because he thinks that a being as useless as a hobbit will die as soon as he steps outside.*
Frodo: *actually kills Sauron.*
Sauron: 👁️👄👁️
Frodo's cry of "SAM!" at 18:06 takes on a whole new meaning when you remember that both Frodo's parents died drowning in a river. Yes, I'm crying as well...
ok so I didn't know that and now I do and I am UPSET
@@JolynHenry I KNOW YOUR PAIN! *sobs*
im crying

I had quite forgotten that! 🥺
Dad: I'm not going to take care of these hobbits we've brought home
Also Dad a day later: 9:56
I'm wheezing
wheeze i- poor boromir
LOL
I loved this comment so much. 😍
Why have you brought home fully sentient, small people
I always get so sad seeing how much Boromir cared for the Hobbits. Right down to him saying "They took the little ones" with such sadness and concern while he's also dying.
Boromir deserved better
Boromir is a bit condescending there, but he still treats them with love and caring - and it's much more than could be said of the others. Aragorn thinks of them as warriors, Gandalf bullies Pippin, and Legolas barely talks to them. And yeah, even while Boromir is fucking dying, he thinks of them
Boromir was just doing his best😭😭
Fuck the ring
Boromir took care of the hobbits, he advocated for Moria because the mountains were hitting the hobbits hard. And when he was back in gondor he was said to play with the children iirc and was an amazing big brother for Faramir
"I can't carry it for you. But I can carry you!" 😭
*background legolas interlude* -hold on 😆
one day I'll make a comp that's just Legolas in the background of every shot

@@wrybreadspread One day I'll learn the song about them that Aragorn was singing
@@valthiriansunstrider2540 the power of your "woke" is insignificant compared to the power of my ship
Oml how did I not notice that, lmao!!
It makes it so hard when I write Aragorn fanfiction cos I adore Arwen and Aragorn butttttttt I also adore Aragorn
My heart always melts when Sam drops the "Mr" when Frodo is either in danger or out of Sam's sight 😭
characters dropping formalities when their love interest is in danger? top notch. case in point Spock switching from "Captain" to "Jim", esp in the Horta episode
Holy sssshhhhh!t that's the cutest thing, you are both speaking so much truth
"all the cute, gay and sweet shit" *shows Smeagol violently strangling his best friend*
:)
@@JolynHenry this answer made me laugh hard, idk why hahahahahaha
Well the title does include the words “plus scenes I just really like”... wait, is there need for concern? 😯
@@LITTERBOOTS idk man it's just a good scene like, cinematically
@@JolynHenry it really does portray the strength of the one rings hold on smeagol VERY well like he had absolutely no hesitation or remorse but you could still clearly tell the 2 characters had a strong emotional tie to each other so yeah its great cinematically
Boromir wasn't loved enough ToT he was and will forever be my favourite character, his relationship with the hobbits was too adorable :( rip Boromir
Boromir deserved better 2k20
I love him for his bond with Faramir. And well, as long as he wasn't posessed by the ring's power, bis relationship with the hobbits was bloody hilarious. Lovely. And Aragorn and Boromir. Wow. His dying scene... i always cry, for just those reasons.
when he calls them the 'little ones' ... my heart wept ;-;
It was his misfortune that he was played by sean bean. Of course he died
Boromir was a sweetheart and I will fight anybody who disagrees. Anyone who smack talks my husband is gonna catch these hands.
An alternative title to this would be: *lord of the rings, but it’s just the wholesome parts that make your grab your chest because it’s so wholesome*
Lord of the rings but just the feelings
@@JolynHenry lord of the feels: shit that makes you cry
the actual title is funnier XD i certainly got a chuckle out of it
Gay?
I never talk to myself.
The way Frodo says “roast chicken” at 20:40 kills me every time, i wish that scene hadn’t been cut from the theatrical version
It's one of my highlights of the entire trilogy. No joke. It just makes me smile. 🤷♀️
Also his face when he says it too 😆
@@gremlinchild1903 he’s so adorable

Look up the Lurd of the chickens! And the lurd of teh rings; very funny!

I needed it and I knew it so I made it you're welcome
Actually
Same :v
Poo
When frodo asked sam what they were holding onto i really thought he'd say 'each other'
They were so close tbh..... I can't say I'm disappointed by what he did say though. I think the moment and the line is more powerful as-is, ngl
me too, i was in the theater and i said to my friend "if they say each other im gonna cry" and my friend was like "i think hes gonna say hope" and i was gfdi
“My friends, you bow to no one”
Im not crying, you’re crying.
Yes. Yes I am
I'm DEFINITELY crying
Yeah. I am.
1:02:29 I'm a little upset that Frodo didn't say "Legolas!" When he saw him like with Gimli and Aragorn. I mean, I know Legolas didn't really talk to Frodo, but I just wanted Frodo to say something to him. Or Legolas to say something like "I'm glad you're back Frodo." I just wanted them to say something to each other, but they didn't, and I'm sad about that.
I actually saw a post at some point pointing out that Legolas never actually introduced himself to Frodo? which I can't dispute off the top of my head. so I don't think it was Frodo just Not Greeting him, I think it was Frodo being like, "Gimli!" [Legolas walks in] 'uhhh shit what is that guy's name'
@@JolynHenry Maybe that's it. Now that I think about it, you're right, he never did introduce himself.
@@mallorydean5330 at some point I'll rewatch these movies and deliberately keep an eye out for everything Legolas says directly to Frodo, because I think the post also mentioned that the only words he ever said to Frodo were "and my bow"
@@JolynHenry I think that's the only thing he (Meaning Legolas) said to Frodo.
@@JolynHenry yeah. "And my bow" and then never talks to him again. That is literally it. But then again, Legolas isn't a huge talker anyway. As many have pointed out he is the "while other's talk seriosuly, I will stare either dreamily or with a constant concerned face, into the distance." kind of guy.
pippin took is like the little brother you try to protect from the evils of the world until one day he’s all grown up and you didn’t even know it 😥😥😥😥

this trilogy is truly a masterpiece. i’m 16 years old, i was 5 when i was introduced to these incredible movies. they have gotten me through a lot of rough patches in my life, from my parents divorce and losing loved ones to my deteriorating mental health and the trauma that caused it. i have watched and rewatched these movies countless times, as the warmth of familiarity and nostalgia are some of the key factors as to why i’m still here today. it may sound silly but these movies have saved my life because they are something i am truly passionate about, and they’re one of the most beautiful things i have in my life that i am lucky enough to share with my family. the joy i feel during so many of these scenes is unmatched, and you have done me a great service putting them together for me to watch today. thank you so much for this, it truly means the absolute world to me knowing there are people out there who feel the same happiness as i while sharing in this rather unique trilogy. i’m so utterly blessed to have these stories in my life, and what you have done here is truly incredible. it may not seem like a lot, but to someone like me who’s life has been saved by these characters, it means more than you’ll ever know. thank you so much for this, truly
I cried reading this and knowing that something I put together had that much of a positive impact on someone is really special. It's not silly to find respite and comfort in a piece of media, I think, no matter how obscure the piece of media is. And Lord of the Rings has a lot of really important and serious themes that it addresses. There's several CinemaTherapy episodes on it that might interest you if you haven't seen them already.
These films have been invaluable to my mental health too!
I feel the exact same way as you. Only thing in my life that's helped me since 2nd grade. I am 25 now.
I know this comment is a year+ old but I hope you're doing well 😊 LOTR has helped me more than I can say, the movies and the books made me see the beauty in the world even when I was at my worst
AAAAA okay the parallel between frodo grabbing sam’s hand to pull him out of the river and frodo grabbing sam’s hand to be saved from mount doom is amazing
godddddd I hadn't even realized
Is Pip's singing beautiful? Yes
Is it also the tomato scene? Yes }÷{
lmfao you're exactly right tho but honestly beautiful scene. the juxtaposition between the unsettling/gross/glutinous eating closeups and the battle? cinematic masterpiece
23:26 Gandalf realizing that Sam is with Frodo, such an awesome scene
That's Ian McKellen doing the absolute MOST for US and we love him for that
“Yes… very good.” Gandalf ships it!
The way Sam just *ZOOMS* on screen at 6:20 ! He’s so adorable!!!
I fucking love it he's just suddenly there
NYOOM
VROOM
I don't know why but that scene with Aragorn, Boromir, and their four children give me great joy.
it's so pure?? like it's so unnecessary wrt advancement of the plot and I think that's part of what makes it excellent. it's just a moment of good fun, a break from the narrative
You're doing god's work here. This fandom has a way higher percentage of old conservative people who get offended by my enjoyment of the gayness of it all than I'm used to. And I'm tired of arguing with them, I just want to have a good time here lol
So thanks, I love it :D
sometimes I just don't want to provide straight people with a 10 page thesis on why I think some fictional character is gay
I'm conservative but at the same time I love the gayness... Yeah
Considering Tolkien was heavily influenced by his own experiences in the first world war with other men from many walks of life and experienced great camaraderie its not unreasonable to be a bit skeptical about having these characters as gay. It removes the ability of men to have close bonds of love and friendship. Though its also fine to have actual gay relationships in media. I just think our society puts far more emphasis on romantic relationships that friendships and that if two people are close they must be shipped.
@@nutyyyy I agree that men should be shown having close, unromantic friendships in media, but also the lgbtq+ community really doesn’t get enough representation in anything, really.
gay lotr stans rise we're carrying everything on our backs
Can't believe I only just noticed that when Frodo steps onto the ship at the end, and looks back at his friends, he looks healthy and has colour in his cheeks, for the first time since he was stabbed on Weathertop ...
He only then gets to really begin the (psychological) healing process😭😭

"What could possibly happen?" Followed by that question immediately being answered is my favorite trope in the world
They are some of the most emotionally radiant, soft boys with big hearts ever put to paper. And it is glorious, thank you Tolkien, for showing me, a male born to a toxic house with no male role models, it is okay to cry, and brave to show emotions, that loving and hoping and caring are just as important as being strong and iron willed.
😭😭
I always thought that sam watching frodo sail away forever to the undying lands was so tragic... breaks my heart every time
I literally just fuckin cry every time. I can't watch the end of these movies cause it breaks my heart
It’s just like Bogart watching Bergman leave in Casablanca. It’s just that much of a love story.
Wow... the Arwen and Aragorn scene hit me hard. Aragorn is just... the love he has for her. It just seems so unice and one of the kind thing in this world. That someone really could be like Aragorn. He is the perfect man.
Boromir is dying and Aragorn's speech.
Me: Cries.
Aragorn showing emotion, being Aragorn.
Me: Cries.
Sam and Frodo bond, loyalty and love.
Me: Cries.
Sam's speeches and internal hope.
Me: Cries.
Scenes of loyalty, bravery, love, brotherhood, swordfights, death, emotions, music, epicness... Aragorn.
Me: Cries.
Let's just say that these movies are a while lot of crying.
Also: 28:25 😂
Aragorn is literally everything that actual men should look up to and aspire to be. I encourage you to go watch Cinema Therapy's video about Aragorn and toxic masculinity if you love Aragorn and want a breakdown of why he's so excellent as a character and as a man

Why so soft
I've just realised how young Orlando sounded back then 😳 when he was talking about lembas

Orlando has since said that he always felt like that scene was basically a commercial for lembas. He said “I feel like I’m making an ad for this stuff!” 😂😂😂
Frodo and Sam were the inspiration for cottagecore lesbians and you can’t convince me otherwise.
You're right and you should say it
The way Frodo holds that eye contact with Sam before leaving for the Undying Lands forever makes me wanna cry
I love it and I hate it and I can't watch it cause it just upsets me lmfao
It reminds me of the endings of Casablanca and Roman Holiday, two old black and white films with heartbreaking love stories of which Frodo and Sam remind me. If you’ve seen those films, you get what I mean. 😢❤
0:26 still such a beautiful and picturesque shot. I’ve always loved it, how quiet and calm it is in the woods while Frodo’s reads his book waiting for Gandalf
Like God I wish that were me
24:26 So happy you put this scene because I loved the part when he said PO TAY TOES ever since I was a kid.
Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew

I was always so sad about how much the ring and all the stuff that happend affected Frodo. He was so innocent and happy in the begining but after everything he was so different and almost, empty? Idk it always made me sad.
It's really heartbreaking tbh :( Frodo deserved like 0% of everything that happened to him
Frodo was chosen. He had to finish the task whether he chose to or not. Not everything that happens can be our own decision.
Holy crap, I was expecting a 12-minute clip show but this is an hour and change.

capt truth
Uh, not really
@capt truth literally the actor who played Sam said they should’ve kissed and also said whose to say they didn’t.
Same
@@aaliyahstark7948 There's a fic for that.
I cried during last scenes. I cried very hard when I realized, when Sam sails for Valinor, Frodo may be long dead or not remember Sam at all. :'(
I refuse to believe Frodo could ever forget his Sam
Smeagol-Gollum lived for decades without the Ring. And mortals in Valinor heal, and only die when they choose to. I am quite confident that Frodo and Sam were reunited in Valinor, as both of them expected and hoped for.
Tolkien wrote an epilogue that was not used, but which expresses Sam's longing to be with Frodo again. Even his daughter Elanor realizes that Frodo was Sam's lost "treasure."
Elanor was silent for some time before she spoke again. ‘I did not understand at first what Celeborn meant when he said goodbye to the King,’ she said. ‘But I think I do now. He knew that Lady Arwen would stay, but that Galadriel would leave him. I think it was very sad for him. And for you, dear Sam-dad.’ Her hand felt for his, and his brown hand clasped her slender fingers. ‘For your treasure went too. I am glad Frodo of the Ring saw me, but I wish I could remember seeing him.’
‘It was sad, Elanorellë,’ said Sam, kissing her hair. ‘It was, but it isn’t now. For why? Well, for one thing, Mr. Frodo has gone where the elven-light isn’t fading; and he deserved his reward. But I have had mine, too. I have had lost of treasures. I am a very rich hobbit. And there is one other reason, which I shall whisper to you, a secret I have never told before to no one, nor put in the Book yet. Before he went Mr. Frodo said that my time maybe would come. I can wait. I think maybe we haven’t said farewell for good. But I can wait.
I don’t think Frodo or Sam could die unless they were together. Besides Tolkien said that the Valar granted Frodo the ability to “choose his time” as part of his healing, so he was able to linger there as long as he wanted/needed to until he was ready to pass into the afterlife. No doubt he always remembered, missed, and waited for Sam. In the epilogue that Tolkien wrote but didn’t publish, Sam hears “the sigh and murmur of the Sea,” which is basically his yearning for Frodo and sensing that Frodo is yearning for him too. (Btw for the record this is all some of the most romantic stuff I’ve ever read and I think it’s wrong of people who don’t ship them to shut down/insult people who do ship them. I mean listen to this! It’s Brontë sisters-level pining!)
That trilogy was concluded so perfectly. Every story was closed in such a beautiful way. Love those movies so much
there's an interesting video essay with this exact point and I agree completely
55:46 at this point Frodo is already "addicted" to the ring...
without a doubt
But what he propounds is absolutely valid...Sam must keep his head clear and free of the Ring's "voice", lest fighting break out between our 2 stalwart heroes, like it eventually did betweens Frodo and Sméagol.
What gets me is that the Ring is twisting Frodo’s genuine loving concern for Sam. The last thing in the world Frodo wants is for the Ring to sink its metaphorical talons into Sam, and he’s so terrified for Sam’s safety that he wants to keep the Ring away from Sam. The Ring then does its brainwashing tricks, trying to make him believe this is because he actually wants it for himself. It takes something noble in Frodo and tries to twist it into greed. It’s terrifying.
This is so heartwarming. The physical affection between males is just beautiful, both in the books and in the movies. The actors are close friends in real life to this day! And I am terribly glad that the ridiculously good looking Elijah Wood and Sean Astin were cast for these films; their Frodo and Sam obviously have a strong connection which strikes me as being romantic.
Very very romantic, they have really good chemistry
@@jaytwokay3265 You're here to troll? Pfft.
Their chemistry is off the charts. I feel like Sam was in love with Rosie and Frodo at the same time; his heart’s certainly big enough. Frodo most definitely encouraged him to marry Rosie, knowing that he could never give Sam everything he needed and deserved (children, normalcy, peace, etc.) I like to think that: 1) Rosie knew how they really felt about each other and gave Sam her blessing to go after Frodo when she was gone, and 2) after Sam became a widower and reunited with Frodo in Valinor, the Elves gave them a little wedding ceremony with Bilbo and Gandalf as witnesses. ❤

46:20 lol smeagol/gollum is so offended that sam would imply he's sneaking and then sam goes "what WERE you up to then?" "...sneaking..."
Me when anyone asks me what I've been doing
I’d like to highlight this quote of Sir Ian McKellen’s from the DVD commentary tracks:
“When I suggested to Sean that he took Elijah’s hand, it was because I thought anyone who knew the book would care about the deep friendship - often of a[n] innocently physical nature - and that that might be missed by two resolutely heterosexual actors who might not appreciate that gay people like myself saw, in a touch, something perhaps more meaningful than others might. And so to persuade him to touch Elijah, I’d say, ‘Well, look, it’s in the book.’”
I think that speaks for itself.
Pippin's slight accent is so adorableeeeeeee agh my heart

I'm not a huge fan of the "two male characters show mutual care&affection THEREFORE SUPER GAAAAAYY" reading but this video made me cry nonetheless
Yeah, I wouldn't call it gay either. I would just call it human caring, friendship, love, loyalty... being a real man.
Its the bond of brotherhood formed in times of great hardship - i.e the Great War which Tolkien fought in as an officer and profoundly affected him.
Its much like the Iliad and Achilles and Patroclus. There is a lot of context about war and its influence on the bonds shared between men that is lost on modern audiences. (Though there are plenty unambiguously gay moments in a lot of Ancient Greek writings, but much as culture varies around the world today, so we can't apply modern gay or Queen concepts to what Ancient Greeks viewed as appropriate sexual relationships between men, which were very different from modern ones and always emphasised dominance and submission).
@@elanorallmann right, or rather, being a real *human*. If anything the whole gay reading, since it's not an explicitly gay relationship, feels more like what a school bully would say: "Oh you two guys hugged? lol what f*gs". I know this isn't the intention of the uploader of the video and there are LGBT+ advocates that legitimately want Frodo and Sam to be gay and that's fine, but there's a point where you are involuntarily doing a disservice to the gay community with this reading. Actually Lindsay Ellis' videos on LOTR explain this quite well.
@@Skiriwowi as part of the lgbtq+ community i approve of sam/frodo and i think they should have been made more than friends had this not been written in a time of homophobia, as do many other members of the community
@@nutyyyy it's called gay. achilles and patroclus were gay. you don't have to ship frodo with sam but you have to understand that achilles and patroclus were so clearly lovers
I grew up with these films and loved this since I was a small child. I'd run around my garden, wielding a stick with a piece of scrap metal crudely nailed to it and pretended I was Gimli. Now that I'm grown up, I finally notice how romantic they films really are! The love, friendship, loyalty... And I still tear up 😅
I didn't grow up on them, only watched them for the first time when I was around 12, but they were definitely a huge part of those formative years and i do tear up every time😭

Great, now I have to watch the entire trilogy again
sorry not sorry
Without a doubt, Sam and Frodo's bond would be seen as romantic if one of them were a woman. So what if there's people shipping them? This is fiction, and being gay isn't wrong. That scene when Sam follows Frodo and almost drowns 18:35 always reminds me of that Titanic scene where Rose jumps back to the ship to be with Jack

It gets me every time fr
I bust into tears each time I see that scene
4:25 "Look Mr. Frodo its Bilbo's trolls."
"SAM THAT'S THE LAST FUCKING THING I WANT TO SEE RIGHT NOW!"
Lmfao Frodo's just like "Sam ily but NOT my highest priority"
@@JolynHenry Frodo is literally turning into a wraith and Sam's like "Here, look at this statue of a terrifying creature."
Tysm for this! I haven't read the books yet but Sam and Frodo are clearly in love with each other and you can't change my mind.
if you think the movies are gay, literally just wait until you get around to reading the books. this is an actual real excerpt from Two Towers, and please do read the whole excerpt:
"...Frodo after a few mouthfuls of lembas settled deep into the brown fern and went to sleep. Sam looked at him. The early daylight was only just creeping down into the shadows under the trees, but he saw his master's face very clearly, and his hands, too, lying at rest on the ground beside him. He was reminded suddenly of Frodo as he had lain, asleep in the house of Elrond, after his deadly wound. Then as he had kept watch Sam had noticed that at times a light seemed to be shining faintly within; but now the light was even clearer and stronger. Frodo's face was peaceful, the marks of fear and care had left it; but it looked old, old and beautiful, as if the chiselling of the shaping years was now revealed in many fine lines that had before been hidden, though the identity of the face was not changed. Not that Sam Gamgee put it that way to himself. He shook his head, as if finding words useless, and murmured: 'I love him. He's like that, and sometimes it shines through, somehow. But I love him, whether or no.'"
That's page 307 of The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien, published by Ballantine Books, the publication edition in question published by arrangement with Houghton Mifflin Company, ISBN 0-345-33971-1. I'm giving you more detail than you need because I need you to believe that this is an actual quote from the actual real book that I own.
@@JolynHenry you're amazing
Jolyn Henry that’s literally one of my favourite quotes, and one of many Frodo x Sam moments in the book. They hella gay, and Sam should’ve married Frodo, not some random girl I can’t even remember the name of.
@@opheliastardust9107 yeah like if I HAD to choose a single all-time favorite quote from the books that would be the one. I literally think about it constantly
(as a side note if I had to choose a single favorite quote from the movies, it would actually be a different one, esp since this one didn't make it into the movies)
Jolyn Henry yeah, I’m also disappointed we didn’t get the moment where Frodo sleeps in Sam’s lap, so he’s safe from Gollum’s prying hands. We were ROBBED, I tell you 😭
I'm pretty sure the 25 dislikes are from either psychopaths cuz this video is amazing- a very long collection of short scenes and not edited in any way, like there's no on screen writing, nothing
Edit: I spoke too soon, there is writing, but I welcomed it with open arms
Probably homophobes and trolls tbh
@@JolynHenry and maybe some Uruk-hai and Goblins and Orcs too.
that ending always kills me. doesn't matter where i am and who i'm with (which is very unusual for me), i am bawling my eyes out, while ugly sobbing.
Literally every gd time without fail
Aww, you left out one of my favourite bits. When Gandalf knocks on Bag End's door and Bilbo shouts that they're not accepting anyone else asking about the party. Gandalf, more amused than anything, calls "And what about very old friends?"
At once, Bilbo swings the door open, and steps out, not quite seeming to believe who it is.
"Gandalf...? My _dear_ Gandalf!" And _runs_ out to give him a hug, sounding like he might be about to cry.
That's a pretty good one tbh
I just watched the whole TLOR movies, why am I watching and hour of highlights?... docent matter, gonna do It anyway YEET
... just ended watching the whole hour of video... can't regret it
PD: the amount of hours in the edition and watching the movies its amazing... im just going to have this permanently in my "watch later"
thanks but reading this comment was like trying to decode a secret transmission
@@JolynHenry JAJAJAJAJA. Sorry, im from latin America, my English it's terrible, trying to do it decent, quite not there yet
@@leandromendoza5835 ahhhh ok pues bien pq no puro usás español amigx?? si e más fácil puessss..... o si bien eres brasilero?
Ig this is pretty good English practice tho so 🤷🏻♀️
Out of curiosity where are you learning English? Se lo enseña en la escuela o q...?
@@JolynHenry ah, pues no sabia que hablabas español JAJAJAJAJAJAJA. Y pues nada, mi padre, internet, la escuela, donde lo enseñen
@@leandromendoza5835 bueno bueno. he aprendido (y todavía estoy aprendiendo) en la escuela :P
Doctor: You have one hour and ten minutes to live
Me: Oh, damn, that's not enough to rewatch the eight hours extended version of Lord of the Rings
This video: Hello
Thank you so much for this, i cried at the end, and are all the hobbit gay???!!! EVEN BILBO WITH THORIN
void bless you for this comment tbh it made me feel warm inside
4:25
Sam: look Mr Frodo, it’s Bilbo’s trolls :D
Frodo: *literally dying
Sam: *confused* Mr Frodo?
Frodo really out here got better things to worry about
*This cursed 2020 I found your video and is exactly what my heart needed, thank you.*
You have blessed us with this great video
you have blessed us with this kind comment
This ? This is art
Sam: spends all 3 movies making sure Frodo stays right beside him
Frodo: Decides to leave Sam at the end of movie 3 because he wasn't /feelin' it/ anymore
Sam: "DO NOT GO WHERE I CANNOT FOLLOW!"
that pretty much sums it up tbh
Dude I’d leave too if the boi I was in love with married someone else 😭😭😭
Frodo didn’t go where Sam couldn’t follow. Sam was a Ring Bearer too; Frodo knew that Sam would one day be allowed to cross into the Undying Lands. And he was. 😊
If you haven’t cried at the end of the last film you’re not human
I cry every goddamn time
This is beautiful. Thank you 🌹
I can't help but ship Frodo and Sam both in books and movies, and I can see that I am not the only one. Love this series ❤
If anything they're GAYER in the books which is impressive
@@JolynHenry so true 😀😅
also : 14:43 the dagger that was thrown was supposed to miss but the contacts impeded the Uruk-Hai actor's vision so that's Viggo deflecting it in real time :)
i knOW AND IT DELIGHTS ME
@@JolynHenry NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT IT AND I FKN LOVE IT
Holy shit that's beautiful. I'm glad they kept the scene for points for badassery.
Ooof this is super cool but it's lucky he knew how to deflect and his reflexes were good, that could've been nasty
Aragorn smacking a person makes me laugh.
Aragorn is my hero
@@JolynHenry he's my hero too, back then when I was 16. And even now, it feels exhilarating to watch him.🤣🤣🤣 Great character. Great example. Great inspiration.
I haven't seen the movies, but I never noticed that the Witch King sounds different from other Wraiths. While Wraiths make this loud screeching sound that kind of goes outward as an exhale, the Witch King is always making suckin' sounds instead. but i mean realistically that probably has to do with the fact that he's sucking in breath to swing a ridiculously heavy morning star 52:11
