Destruction was my Old Master Morgoths way. My desire is the subjugation and control over not just Middle Earth but from the Undying Lands to the Sun lands.
Hahaha! Yeah, I was like what are you thinking? This isn’t some political game like in our world. This is a fight against true evil. Not a country or some random typical humans. They conquer, expand, enslave, etc. So giving the ring is like giving a fanatic his/her gun back only to still shoot you & your people still regardless. No negotiations, no mercy, etc. just complete genocide of 1 and more races. Remember, WWII, Nazi Germany telling the world the jews are evil even telling their own children stories of absurd & delusional things about jews. Imagine growing up believing that. You can see them with such hate & prejudice. No remorse cuz they strongly believe they’re right. No offense intended for any Germans here. Just saying & hope anyone here learned something if you haven’t heard about it. Not looking for trouble.
15:30 That's a good catch most reactors don't make, that the Ring lands with a solid thud instead of bouncing as a normal ring would. They did it using a magnet, it was one of many subtle things they used to help give character to the Ring.
19:53 _"Sauron needs only this Ring to cover all the lands in a second darkness." "Seeking it. All this thought is bent on it."_ Chi: "So just give it back to him!" Hella: "NOo!" 🤣 Pure comedy! This is why i subscribed! LOVE THIS stuff!
Here is some fun facts for you two. The actor that plays Bilbo Baggins is Ian Holm. You have seen him before. He played Ash the robot in Alien. He also played Father Cornelius in The Fifth Element. The actor that plays Lord Elrond (who Hella called The Doctor, is Hugo Weaving. He played Agent Smith in The Matrix movies. He also played the character V in the movie V for Vendetta. The actor that plays Boromir is Sean Bean. He plays Ned Stark on Game of Thrones. The actor that plays Saruman is Christopher Lee. He plays Count Dooku in the Star Wars Prequel movies. Christopher Lee also met, was friends with and had dinner with J.R.R. Tolkien the author of The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit books. Tolkien wrote these books between 1937 and 1949. They have been published in over 38 different languages.
My gosh, I never knew he played Father Cornelius in the Fifth Element. And I actually watched a reaction to that yesterday. 🤦🏽 The realization feels wild to me now.
Indeed, I've seen too many reactors watch the extended cut, but only of the second and third films, once they heard it's what they should watch, while never seeing the extended cut of _this_ one.
My favorite extended scene is the passing of the elves because it really established the mystical/angelic aspect that the elves have. It’s always cathartic seeing others react to it
Meh, I'd argue the theatrical cut is better for first time watchers. The story is more concise and flows better, which makes more sense for a first time watch, especially for people who are new to the story. The extended cut is simply additional content for superfans.
"Can I jump into the Tv?" "No, you'll break it" LMAO This reaction with the Aragon Edits is pure gold. You guys (Tien included) are one of the best reaction channels on youtube. Keep up the great work!
@@Ajonr yeah, and they project the three movies for 9 hours straight in that place also, I don't know when, but, if you've gone there just for these movies, could just check that out －O－
It's based on a book series written by a professor of history and literature about 80 years ago. The books are the true masterpiece, among the best-selling of all time. The entire fantasy genre is rooted in it.
This is highly accurate from the books actually lol. In the Two Towers Tolkien spoke specifically about the orcs going out of their way to destroy plants and trees when they didn't even need to, mostly out of spite 😂
Yet he’s one of the most powerful characters who actually was always for the best interest of the hobbits and so forth. Especially in the books. Even Aragorn leaned more towards being like Borimir in many instances for decisions and so forth. Boromir and his entire family are also Númenoreans like Aragorn but from another lineage.
Aragorn was singing was about Beren and Luthien. It's really more like a poem, that tells the tale of their love. There is a pretty significant amount of lore like this for LotR. But you probably don't want to read it until you've finished with this trilogy.
This masterpiece trilogy was a labor of love from everyone involved in its production. I am so glad you opted for the extended version. The extra material does cause a few pacing issues, but it is well worth it for the additional story scenes it gives us.
Been waiting for you to watch lord of the rings. Glad your finally are. Regarding some of the questions you had earlier: 1) The reason the Ringwraith’s didn’t try and go through the water at Bucklebury ferry is because the water is too deep in a ford so they needed to find a safer way to get to Bree. In addition the Nazgul and other servants of Sauron avoid water because it is the domain of Ulmo, a Valar 2) The moth was tasked to find the Great Eagles. These Eagles are intelligent beings as they were created by higher sentient beings. 3) The elf woman Aragorn was sing about on the way to Rivendale is Lúthien. This elf was real and she is a significant elf to Arwen and Aragorn because: - Arwen’s father Lord Elrond was Lúthien's great-grandson and - Aragorn was descended from her via Elros (another Elf that chose to be mortal and is Lord Elrond’s brother) and the Royal Family of Númenor.
Just so you know, those "little boys" aren't boys: when Frodo and Sam left the Shire for Bree, Frodo was 33 years old, Sam was 38, Merry was 37, and Pippin was the youngest at 28. They are naturally small in stature because they are hobbits, not men or dwarves or elves. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well, if we go by what the book says, Frodo is 33 at the birthday party, but *50* when he finally leaves (same age as Bilbo was when he went on _his_ adventure). Gandalf spends 17 years figuring out whether Frodo actually has the One Ring, and a bunch of other stuff. The script writers removed that gap because they thought it wouldn't be good film pacing.
Whichever of you ladies is in charge of hair/makeup/wardrobe deserves an award. Watching you two appreciate movies in an uncut reaction is fun, but you two look so stylish while doing it.
In the original stories, Isildur wasnt framed as greedy or selfish, instead he was more like Boromir, scared of what might happen if he DIDN'T take the ring & might end up needing it. He was actually on his way to deliver it to elrond & prepare for a journey to Mordor to destroy it, but he never made it there. He was originally a more tragic character, like Boromir, not evil just a tendency to look at things in terms of power & politics instead of the moral or ethical context. But I understand why they made him greedy in the movies, it is faster & conveys the kind of power & temptation the ring has over people, even heroic figures like Isildur
@@liaml.e.5964 Yes, I think Peter Jackson was originally very adamant that none of the sets would remain. The town near hobbitown used to be on a popular by-pass (the main highway used to pass through a lot of towns that had to go slow through). When the highway was improved, the town lost business, so hobbitown was a way to bring tourism back.
My wife is filipina and your reactions remind me so much of her. Favorite part was when you said shut up and get on the horse. Asian women are amazing. The empathy and passion. But you always instantly know in your own minds what needs to be done.
The seductive nature of the One Ring teaches a good lesson on the dangers of acquiring power. "Power attracts the corruptible," the great Frank Herbert said. Be wary of those who desire power. They may say that they want to do good, but once they acquire power, they often become just as destructive as any other evil person.
15:33 - I heard that they used a strong magnet to make it so the ring wouldn't bounce, so that it would seem heavy. 29:46 - The guy eating the carrot is the director of these movies. 2:57 - You all seen him as Agent Smith in the Matrix and the father in Hacksaw Ridge. The guy who plays Saruman is Christopher Lee. He's the only person who worked on the movie who actually knew the author J.R.R. Tolkien. He wanted to play Gandalf, and I heard that the author gave him his blessing to play Gandalf, but he was too old to physically play the part at this point. So he played Saruman instead, and did an amazing job.
I don't think anyone else had the gravitas to play Saruman. If Christopher Lee was Gandalf who would have the presence to play his superior and really sell it?
I just wanted to mention that the hobbit town is still in existence and available for tours. I forgot to mention that there is a movie in the series called the Hobbit. If you also watch it some of the series will make sense.
I believe the four hobbit's mean age is meant to convey about 30-something in human years, with Frodo's age being equivalent to a human 40-ish years old.
Hobbits are considered to come of age at 33, which is how old Frodo is at Bilbo's birthday party. The two share the same birthday. Merry and Pippin are the hobbit-equivalent of teenagers, which is why they sometimes do irresponsible things.
In the movie I'd say that Frodo was about 34, although the films don't confirm that he was 33 when Bilbo had his birthday party. Then again, Peter Jackson also got the year of Bilbo's birthday party wrong!
Just found my way in as a LOTR fan and already know this watch-through is gonna be a treat! I love how engaged and observant both of you are; between the two of you it seems like you catch every detail (okay, almost every detail... 😂) To be fair, I don't think the first grievance of Aragorn was so bad since it sounds like Hella has realized and says "no, not Strider" right about the same time Chi becomes convinced it is haha. Really loved some of Hella's quips, especially calling the caverns of Isengard hell, and telling Sauroman it was in fact he who had chosen death because of how much he had inflicted death on the forests around him. Tolkien would be proud. 🌳
I've always loved that this movie kind of frames it like Bilbo is just making up stories about trolls squishing him into jelly, and that's exactly how these two reacted. That's such a great bit of story telling on Peter Jackson's part. Cause that is how all the other hobbits saw him, Old Bilbo making up tall tales again.
I love how you whisper so the ring wraiths won't hear you. Then when the battle starts you become raging Hobbits ready to fight. This going to be epic i am going to watch again after work 😂 expect another comment
You lovely ladies do not disappoint! I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction, and was so happy to see you understand it and give it the recognition it deserves. The way you got so excited at certain scenes filled me with the same joy I had watching it for the first time, and now I can't wait for the next part! Keep up the good work
Oh, wow. You ladies are in for a very special journey! Edit: You made a great choice by picking the Extended Editions! While they only add a little bit to the first movie, they add very important scenes to the second and third films. Edit: Hahaha, your editor is working overtime on this one!
So happy that you've started your adventure into Middle-Earth! It's quite a remarkable place, as I'm sure you are already discovering. I'm quite thrilled to be sharing this adventure with you.
The song Aragorn sings has huge importance! Here is the full version: “The leaves were long, the grass was green, The hemlock-umbels tall and fair, And in the glade a light was seen; Of stars in shadow shimmering, Tinnúviel was dancing there, To music of a pipe unseen And light of stars was in her hair And in her raiment glimmering There Beren came from mountains cold; And lost he wandered under leaves; And where the Elven-river rolled. He walked alone and sorrowing. He peered between the hemlock-leaves; And saw in wonder flowers of gold Upon her mantle and her sleeves And her hair like shadow following Enchantment healed his weary feet That over hills were doomed to roam And forth he hastened, strong and fleet And grasped at moonbeams glistening Through woven woods in Elvenhome She lightly fled on dancing feet And left him lonely still to roam In the silent forest listening He heard there oft the flying sound Of feet as light as linden-leaves Or music welling underground In hidden hollows quavering Now withered lay the hemlock-sheaves And one by one with sighing sound Whispering fell the beachen leaves In the wintry woodland wavering He sought her ever, wandering far Where leaves of years were thickly strewn By light of moon and ray of star In frosty heavens shivering Her mantle glinted in the moon As on a hill-top high and far She danced, and at her feet was strewn A mist of silver quivering When winter passed, she came again And her song released the sudden spring, Like rising lark, and falling rain And melting water bubbling He saw the elven-flowers spring About her feet, and healed again He longed by her to dance and sing Upon the grass untroubling Again she fled, but swift he came Tinnúviel ! , Tinnúviel ! He called her by her elvish name And there she halted listening One moment stood she, and a spell His voice laid on her: Beren came And doom fell on Tinúviel That in his arms lay glistening As Beren looked into her eyes Within the shadows of her hair The trembling starlight of the skies He saw there mirrored shimmering Tinnúviel the elven-fair Immortal maiden elven-wise About him cast her shadowy hair And arms like silver glimmering Long was the way that fate them bore O'er stony mountains cold and grey Through halls of ireon and darkling door, And woods of nightshade morrowless The Sundering Seas between them lay And yet at last they met once more And long ago they passed away In the forest singing sorrowless” The true elvish version is far greater and so full of beauty & nuanced mournful sadness that’s break the hearts of mortals from its beauty and sadness so the true song has been sort of taboo and the mannish tongues that retell it is stated to only be a shadow beneath the tree of the true story! (A clip of it is in the original definitive version though. Viggo Mortenson who plays Aragorn designed the melody and style himself and wished it to sound Celtic in nature.) I recommend reacting to the cover done by Clamavi De Profundis and Tolkien Ensemble after the trilogy is finished and even “How Howard Shore Used Voices”. You’ll see just how deep it went. The lore itself went into the musics lyrics. Using the languages within middle earth. So even when stuff couldn’t be put in they found other ways to highly reference it via the music. It ties in all the themes at the very end in a very profound way. The thumbnail image for it is Galadriel and the image has a blue tint.
I LOVE your reactions - I don't think I've laughed so hard at a LOTR reaction before. I didn't know this was just part 1 so I was abit sad when the video ended 😂😂❤
I was hoping you'd watch these movies! So excited for the journey you're beginning. It's a little confusing, but yes, Aragorn's lullaby was a song about a different elf woman. The song is about Luthien, an elf woman who died a long time ago, and her story is very famous to the people of Middle Earth. Luthien is also similar to Arwen, the one Aragorn loves, because Arwen and Luthien both fell in love with mortals. And the story in the song has a very sad ending. So when Aragorn is singing, he's thinking of the woman he loves and worrying that she might have a sad ending too, just like Luthien did. The important point is that when he was singing, Aragorn was thinking about Arwen, and Arwen is the only woman he loves.
Bilbo Walking Song: “Roads go ever ever on, Over rock and under tree, By caves where never sun has shone, By streams that never find the sea; Over snow by winter sown, And through the merry flowers of June,Over grass and over stone, And under mountains in the moon. Roads go ever ever on Under cloud and under star, Yet feet that wandering have gone Turn at last to home afar. Eyes that fire and sword have seen And horror in the halls of stone Look at last on meadows green And trees and hills they long have known” The original version of the song is recited by Bilbo in the last chapter of The Hobbit, at the end of his journey back to the Shire. Coming to the top of a rise he sees his home in the distance, and stops and essentially sings what I shared above! There are three versions of this walking song in The Lord of the Rings. The first is sung by Bilbo when he leaves the Shire and is setting off to visit Rivendell: “The Road goes ever on and on, Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.” The second version is identical except for changing the word "eager" to "weary" in the fifth line. It is spoken aloud, slowly, by Frodo, as he and his companions pause on their way to Crickhollow, looking beyond to lands that some of them have never seen before. The third version is spoken by Bilbo in Rivendell after the hobbits have returned from their journey. Bilbo is now an old, sleepy hobbit, who murmurs the verse and then falls asleep. “The Road goes ever on and on Out from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, Let others follow it who can! Let them a journey new begin, But I at last with weary feet Will turn towards the lighted inn, My evening-rest and sleep to meet.” 1977: The Hobbit (1977 film): Sections of the poem are sung during the trip through Mirkwood. It appears on the soundtrack titled "Roads". 1980: The Return of the King (1980 film): A song inspired by the poem is sung at the end of the film called "Roads Go Ever, Ever On". 1981: The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series): Bilbo sings the song as he leaves Bag End. It is sung by John Le Mesurier to a tune by Stephen Oliver. 1997: An Evening in Rivendell: The Tolkien Ensemble adapted an original melody to the song, composed by Caspar Reiff. 2001: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Parts of the song are sung by Gandalf in his first appearance, and also by Bilbo as he leaves Bag End. 2006: The Lord of the Rings Musical: The poem is the basis of the song "The Road Goes On" sung by Sam, Frodo, Merry, and Pippin in the first act. 2014: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies: Lines of the poem partially make up the lyrics of The Last Goodbye, performed by Billy Boyd(Pippin) for the credits of the film. This is just stuff to know when you see the next films. Maybe seeing this will spark something you read here or in other people’s comments via future reactions to the other 2 films as well as the 3 The Hobbit movies!
Lol. Frodo was not a little boy. What the film does not mention is the fact that the party at the beginning was not just for Bilbo. It was also Frodo's birthday party. Frodo was turning 33, the age that a Hobbit becomes a legal adult. The amount of time between the night of the party (when Bilbo left) and the night that Gandalf came back and asked "Is it secret? Is it safe?" was 17 YEARS! At the beginning of the quest, when Frodo and Sam leave the Shire, Frodo is 50 years old.
Ahhh, I've been looking forward to you watching this for months, and that was just as enjoyable as I knew it would be. Cannot wait for the next part! Love this channel, love you guys!!
The song heard when the elves were spotted in the forest by Frodo&Sam near the beginning: chanting a very special Hymn to make their journey most safe:(With English translation) * Á Elbereth Gilthoniel “o Elbereth who lit the stars” * silivren penna míriel - “from glittering crystal slanting falls with light like jewels” * Ò menel aglar elenath “from heaven on high the glory of the starry host” * na-chaered palan-díriel “to lands remote I have looked afar” ò galadhremmin ennorath “from tree-tangled middle-lands” * Fanuilos, le linnathon “and now to thee, Fanuilos, bright spirit clothed in ever-white, I will ... sing” * nef aear, sí nef aearon “here ... beyond the Sea, beyond the wide and sundering Sea” * Ã Elbereth Gilthoniel² “o Elbereth who lit the stars” * Ò menel palan-diriel “from heaven gazing far” * le nallon sí di’nguruthos “here overwhelmed in dread of Death I cry” * Á tiro nin, Fanuilos “o guard me, Elbereth” (The elvish name given to Varda is Elbereth Gilthoniel is one of the main Valar who are of the main group of entities known as the Ainur who sang the world into being and helped shaped it further from within after some entered into the young world. She is most loved & honoured by the elves for many reasons) It’s very important as regarding the elves history that spanned over 40,000+ years. Because even one of the three high kings within Valinor was 30,000 years old well before the third age. Galadriel is his granddaughter just do you know. Yeah. She’s very important throughout the entire histories. They are passing away with what’s left of their kin to the undying lands. Many thousands had their home in middle earth just like the high kings ancestors that woke to the stars. Their birth is shrouded in mist as is their entire existence itself. That in itself is a whole story. You’d love to react to the immersive and entertaining lore videos like moviejoob & OmarioRPG have done. It’s ever vast and rewarding to let touch your soul.❤❤❤❤ Varda is a Quenya name of Valarin origin meaning "Sublime", "Exalted" or "Lofty" Elentári means queen of the stars in Quenya. Elbereth means queen of the stars in Sindarin. Gilthoniel means kindler of the stars in Sindarin. An original title of Varda, meaning 'the Kindler', and deriving from her making of the first faint stars in ancient times which was to light the dark world which had no sun yet and they loomed over the original Dark Lord (Fallen Valar named Morgoth by the elves) who he feared most above all even as supposedly he was the mightiest and first of all Ainur to ever exist (Ainur is the ultimate race of both Maiar and Valar) When, long afterwards, she used the dews of Telperion, (one of the two sacred trees that predated the Moon of which it birthed later on) to kindle brighter stars still, this honorific name seems to have fallen out of favour. After that time she was called instead Elentári, the Queen of the Stars.
@@STOCKHOLM07 Well, corporate greed is the reason those IP's have become terrible. You can tell the market has made a clear shift in this past decade, and most big movie companies are now making decisions based primarily on low risk earnings. Its not worth it for a corporation to take a gamble with a new IP or story when they can just re-release or add to an already successful IP and milk it for more money instead, corporate greed.
I’m sorry, but Star Wars always suffered from terrible writing, it’s apparent that Lucas was not very talented in that aspect and did not have the story fully fleshed out, or whoever it was that did most of the writing. Honestly it seems like they were just making it up as they went and the franchise suffered for that. Also, these new movies/shows do not in any way sully or hurt the original or source material, I don’t know much about the new Star Wars stuff, I don’t watch it as I don’t care for that franchise. But where LOTR is concerned, Rings of Power is more fan fiction than portraying anything from the books, it’s not like they are adding anything to it, nothing is canon, they arent rewriting anything. So I’ve never understood why people get so upset about these things.
These are some of the best movies ever made. Glad to see you two watching these. Take your time and break them into as many parts as you need cause they're quite long movies lol
More mythology of Britain before what was there was slowly washed away by countless invasions by the Norse, French, and saxons. Tolkien saw King Arthur as more of a Norman mythology.
@@Davidofthelost I won't argue with Tolkien on such subjects because he's clearly the master, but the Arthurian legends definitely have a distinct Saxon feel to them to my thinking. Then again, it also seems to have a lot of influences from Charlemagne who, of course, conquered Saxony. That said, most of the details of Arthur can be traced back to Geoffrey of Monmouth, born in Wales to what were possibly (probably?) Frankish parents. It's clear that he spoke little Welsh but plenty of Latin and French. This is probably where Tolkien gets his opinions on the subject. How much of what Geoffrey concocted about Arthur is based on any kind of reality is unknown, but probably little more than some names and places.
You two picked up on so many important things that a lot of first time viewers miss 💜 It was a delight watching your reaction, this is such a good movie series. Its over 20 years old!
Movie Muchies, if you ever visit New Zealand where they filmed it, you can visit the beautiful little village Hobbington/film set that you see in the beginning of the movie
If you’ve loved Harry Potter you’re definitely in for a more epic ride with Lord of the Rings. Couldn’t be happier to be on this reaction journey with you both! 🥲
In the books, Gandalf is gone for 17 years before coming back to the shire. Frodo is 47 years old, and Sam is his employee. Pippin and Mary are Frodo’s best friends. In the book, 5 hobbits left to another house in the shire. Then Frodo, Sam, Mary, and pippin leave the shire. The 5th hobbit pretends that Frodo is there in the house.
Really great reaction ladies. I enjoyed it very much. I'm very impressed with how good your guesses are about what it going to happen next. You really get what is going on with the story and I love that. I look forward to seeing your reactions to the next 2 movies. Thanks for doing this.
Fun facts: Liv Tyler, the actress that portrays Arwen, and Orlando Bloom, the actor that portrays Legolas, are both fluent in Elvish because of LOTR. You may also recognize Orlando Bloom as Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Also, when they were filming Pirates of the Caribbean, in the underwater boat scenes, when Orlando was close to passing out from lack of air, he automatically starts speaking in Elvish. Also, Liv Tyler is the daughter of Steven Tyler (the lead singer of Aerosmith). And Sir Ian McKellen, who portrays Gandalf, is also known for playing Magneto in the Fox X-Men films. And Sir Christopher Lee portrays Saruman. 15:00 I'm not a LOTR expert, but to explain this moment, Gandalf is basically a God (explanation below). 15:40 To achieve the illusion that The One Ring is supernaturally heavy, they made a BIG version of the prop (over a foot in diameter) that weighed around 20 pounds. They used forced perspective to make it work visually. 16:30 Gandalf was surprised that Bilbo was unaffected by The One Ring. Normally, no one can resist it, and definitely can't just give it away. The One Ring makes whoever touches it covet it, obsess over it, and never want to part with it. The entirety of the LOTR world was created by Eru Ilúvatar, the supreme deity of Arda (Earth). Eru created the Ainur (aka. the Holy Ones), primordial beings before the creation of the world itself. Of the Ainur, there were 15 that were more powerful than the rest. 14 of them became the Valar (the Powers of Arda, basically Gods that oversaw the order of Earth), and the last became the first Dark Lord. Then there were the Maiar, who were created to help the Valar shape the world. Five Maiar, in the Third Age (the time period the story is set in) became the "Incarnated Wizards" (two of which are Gandalf and Saruman). Sauron is also a Maiar.
I have been looking forward to Movie Munchies reacting to the Lord of the Rings for quite a while now I'm happy to see that it is being done. These are some of the best movies ever made and I am really enjoying watching you two enjoying them
When it comes to the Fantasy Genre, the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and his fellow Inklings (such as C.S. Lewis, the author of The Chronicles of Narnia) are the central pillar and a bar set so high, no other author even comes close, not even George R.R. Martin and J.K. Rowling. "The Incident With the Dragon" is the premise of The Hobbit series.
The cuts of Aragorn crying / shouting when the girls mistake his character for other people was top tier, gj editor 😂😂
Agreed. And even more props for using the Clint Mansell music.
The scream had me rolling! LOL
I was coming to say exactly that! I laughed out loud
was hilarious haha
Came to say the same thing!! So well done and clever!
49:16 I love how “The Foreign Girls” told them to speak English.🤣🤣🤣 great episode!
19:56 Chi: “Just give it back to him” 😂
Some alternate timeline:
-Sauron: “Oh, uhh thanks?”
-*wipes middle Earth from the map*
Destruction was my Old Master Morgoths way. My desire is the subjugation and control over not just Middle Earth but from the Undying Lands to the Sun lands.
@@shukei26 Forgive me, my lord 🙇♂️
i literally shouted "WHAT?!" lolol
I almost spat my tea out when I heard that lol. I never heard anyone come up with that solutiuon before lmao
Hahaha! Yeah, I was like what are you thinking?
This isn’t some political game like in our world. This is a fight against true evil. Not a country or some random typical humans. They conquer, expand, enslave, etc.
So giving the ring is like giving a fanatic his/her gun back only to still shoot you & your people still regardless.
No negotiations, no mercy, etc. just complete genocide of 1 and more races.
Remember, WWII, Nazi Germany telling the world the jews are evil even telling their own children stories of absurd & delusional things about jews. Imagine growing up believing that. You can see them with such hate & prejudice. No remorse cuz they strongly believe they’re right.
No offense intended for any Germans here. Just saying & hope anyone here learned something if you haven’t heard about it. Not looking for trouble.
15:30
That's a good catch most reactors don't make, that the Ring lands with a solid thud instead of bouncing as a normal ring would. They did it using a magnet, it was one of many subtle things they used to help give character to the Ring.
19:53 _"Sauron needs only this Ring to cover all the lands in a second darkness." "Seeking it. All this thought is bent on it."_
Chi: "So just give it back to him!"
Hella: "NOo!"
🤣 Pure comedy! This is why i subscribed! LOVE THIS stuff!
Also there is another movie that is a prequel The lord of the rings called the hobbit. It will help tie up.
The wide eyed, "No no." made me laugh pretty hard.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy is the greatest trilogy ever made. It's a masterpiece. No one can tell me otherwise.
100%
Well, They can tell you, but they would be mistaken ^_^
I would counter with first StarWars movies
@@gerhardadler3418 Not even close with all due respect. LOTR is the epitome of western fantasy cinema and literature.
@@gerhardadler3418 Both in terms of story and filmmaking (and everything else tbh) Star Wars doesn't even hold a candle to LotR.
He's hell bent on finding the ring, Chi "just give it back to him then" 😂😂 no no❤
Here is some fun facts for you two. The actor that plays Bilbo Baggins is Ian Holm. You have seen him before. He played Ash the robot in Alien. He also played Father Cornelius in The Fifth Element. The actor that plays Lord Elrond (who Hella called The Doctor, is Hugo Weaving. He played Agent Smith in The Matrix movies. He also played the character V in the movie V for Vendetta. The actor that plays Boromir is Sean Bean. He plays Ned Stark on Game of Thrones. The actor that plays Saruman is Christopher Lee. He plays Count Dooku in the Star Wars Prequel movies. Christopher Lee also met, was friends with and had dinner with J.R.R. Tolkien the author of The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit books. Tolkien wrote these books between 1937 and 1949. They have been published in over 38 different languages.
My gosh, I never knew he played Father Cornelius in the Fifth Element. And I actually watched a reaction to that yesterday. 🤦🏽
The realization feels wild to me now.
They also know Elrond from Hacksaw Ridge.
@@Gutslinger That's right. He played Thomas Doss, Desmond's father.
@@Gutslinger Ian Holm also played Professor Terry Rapson of the Hedland Centre in Scotland in the movie Day After Tomorrow.
Arwen (Liv Tyler) played Bruce Willis' daughter in Armageddon. Hella and Tien just reacted to this movie two days ago.
"I wish I have that ring."
Oh, my sweet summer child...
To be fair, I wish the same. I'd give Sauron a run for his money when it comes to being evil.

I’m glad you watched the extended cut
Indeed, I've seen too many reactors watch the extended cut, but only of the second and third films, once they heard it's what they should watch, while never seeing the extended cut of _this_ one.
My favorite extended scene is the passing of the elves because it really established the mystical/angelic aspect that the elves have. It’s always cathartic seeing others react to it
Me too
Meh, I'd argue the theatrical cut is better for first time watchers. The story is more concise and flows better, which makes more sense for a first time watch, especially for people who are new to the story. The extended cut is simply additional content for superfans.
"Can I jump into the Tv?" "No, you'll break it" LMAO This reaction with the Aragon Edits is pure gold. You guys (Tien included) are one of the best reaction channels on youtube. Keep up the great work!

It's based on a book series written by a professor of history and literature about 80 years ago. The books are the true masterpiece, among the best-selling of all time. The entire fantasy genre is rooted in it.
Not only that, but Harry Potter is basically a copy past of it too in a lot of ways

This is highly accurate from the books actually lol. In the Two Towers Tolkien spoke specifically about the orcs going out of their way to destroy plants and trees when they didn't even need to, mostly out of spite 😂
Boromir: *nothing but negativity and doubt*

52:11
Hela: "You can stay at home."😤
Yet he’s one of the most powerful characters who actually was always for the best interest of the hobbits and so forth. Especially in the books. Even Aragorn leaned more towards being like Borimir in many instances for decisions and so forth. Boromir and his entire family are also Númenoreans like Aragorn but from another lineage.
Aragorn was singing was about Beren and Luthien. It's really more like a poem, that tells the tale of their love. There is a pretty significant amount of lore like this for LotR. But you probably don't want to read it until you've finished with this trilogy.
This masterpiece trilogy was a labor of love from everyone involved in its production. I am so glad you opted for the extended version. The extra material does cause a few pacing issues, but it is well worth it for the additional story scenes it gives us.
Been waiting for you to watch lord of the rings. Glad your finally are. Regarding some of the questions you had earlier:
1) The reason the Ringwraith’s didn’t try and go through the water at Bucklebury ferry is because the water is too deep in a ford so they needed to find a safer way to get to Bree. In addition the Nazgul and other servants of Sauron avoid water because it is the domain of Ulmo, a Valar
2) The moth was tasked to find the Great Eagles. These Eagles are intelligent beings as they were created by higher sentient beings.
3) The elf woman Aragorn was sing about on the way to Rivendale is Lúthien. This elf was real and she is a significant elf to Arwen and Aragorn because:
- Arwen’s father Lord Elrond was Lúthien's great-grandson and
- Aragorn was descended from her via Elros (another Elf that chose to be mortal and is Lord Elrond’s brother) and the Royal Family of Númenor.
... And it's ok for him to sing about her because she died thousands of years before he was born.
Just so you know, those "little boys" aren't boys: when Frodo and Sam left the Shire for Bree, Frodo was 33 years old, Sam was 38, Merry was 37, and Pippin was the youngest at 28. They are naturally small in stature because they are hobbits, not men or dwarves or elves.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well, if we go by what the book says, Frodo is 33 at the birthday party, but *50* when he finally leaves (same age as Bilbo was when he went on _his_ adventure). Gandalf spends 17 years figuring out whether Frodo actually has the One Ring, and a bunch of other stuff. The script writers removed that gap because they thought it wouldn't be good film pacing.
@@fllthdcrb Agreed! The point is that the hobbits aren't "boys". 😁
For the purpose of the story they could just as well be children honestly.
@@kosefix No. They really couldn't.
@@kosefix - They are all what we would call adults, maybe young adults, but certainly not children.
Whichever of you ladies is in charge of hair/makeup/wardrobe deserves an award.
Watching you two appreciate movies in an uncut reaction is fun, but you two look so stylish while doing it.
Could not be happier for you girls to be experiencing this great fantasy trilogy classic.
In the original stories, Isildur wasnt framed as greedy or selfish, instead he was more like Boromir, scared of what might happen if he DIDN'T take the ring & might end up needing it. He was actually on his way to deliver it to elrond & prepare for a journey to Mordor to destroy it, but he never made it there. He was originally a more tragic character, like Boromir, not evil just a tendency to look at things in terms of power & politics instead of the moral or ethical context. But I understand why they made him greedy in the movies, it is faster & conveys the kind of power & temptation the ring has over people, even heroic figures like Isildur
Yes, Isildur was a great hero in "The Silmarillion".
The Shire set was built in New Zealand. I believe you can still visit it today as it has been preserved as a tourist attraction.
If I'm not mistaken the original set was eventually torn down, but they rebuilt it as an attraction.
@@liaml.e.5964 When it was rebuilt as a set for The Hobbit they also built it as a permanent attraction.
@@liaml.e.5964 Yes, I think Peter Jackson was originally very adamant that none of the sets would remain. The town near hobbitown used to be on a popular by-pass (the main highway used to pass through a lot of towns that had to go slow through). When the highway was improved, the town lost business, so hobbitown was a way to bring tourism back.
My wife is filipina and your reactions remind me so much of her. Favorite part was when you said shut up and get on the horse. Asian women are amazing. The empathy and passion. But you always instantly know in your own minds what needs to be done.

I've been waiting for this reaction!!
It's a beautiful thing to see others fall in love with your favorite movies! Great reaction!!
Frodo was the best ring bearer because he had the purest heart. That's why he was entrusted with the ring.
The seductive nature of the One Ring teaches a good lesson on the dangers of acquiring power.
"Power attracts the corruptible," the great Frank Herbert said. Be wary of those who desire power. They may say that they want to do good, but once they acquire power, they often become just as destructive as any other evil person.
Is this a commentary on the current election?😊
@@michaelstach5744 .. No, it is not. It is a commentary on human beings and all of human history.
I'm so glad you saw this! And that you splitted it in two, too, so you can react to the extended version of it!! Welcome in Tolkien's World!
Your editor went above and beyond on this one!
Galadriel: "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future."

15:33 - I heard that they used a strong magnet to make it so the ring wouldn't bounce, so that it would seem heavy.
29:46 - The guy eating the carrot is the director of these movies.
2:57 - You all seen him as Agent Smith in the Matrix and the father in Hacksaw Ridge.
The guy who plays Saruman is Christopher Lee. He's the only person who worked on the movie who actually knew the author J.R.R. Tolkien. He wanted to play Gandalf, and I heard that the author gave him his blessing to play Gandalf, but he was too old to physically play the part at this point. So he played Saruman instead, and did an amazing job.
I don't think anyone else had the gravitas to play Saruman. If Christopher Lee was Gandalf who would have the presence to play his superior and really sell it?
Hugo weaving was also the voice of V in V for Vendetta
Oh boy I have been waiting for this…tears will be shed…and the sun rises.
I just wanted to mention that the hobbit town is still in existence and available for tours. I forgot to mention that there is a movie in the series called the Hobbit. If you also watch it some of the series will make sense.
Frodo is 50 years old when he leaves the Shire. Sam is a little younger. Pippin is the youngest, being in his 20s I think.
They changed the timeline in the movies.
I believe the four hobbit's mean age is meant to convey about 30-something in human years, with Frodo's age being equivalent to a human 40-ish years old.
Good to know.
Hobbits are considered to come of age at 33, which is how old Frodo is at Bilbo's birthday party. The two share the same birthday. Merry and Pippin are the hobbit-equivalent of teenagers, which is why they sometimes do irresponsible things.
In the movie I'd say that Frodo was about 34, although the films don't confirm that he was 33 when Bilbo had his birthday party. Then again, Peter Jackson also got the year of Bilbo's birthday party wrong!
Just found my way in as a LOTR fan and already know this watch-through is gonna be a treat! I love how engaged and observant both of you are; between the two of you it seems like you catch every detail (okay, almost every detail... 😂) To be fair, I don't think the first grievance of Aragorn was so bad since it sounds like Hella has realized and says "no, not Strider" right about the same time Chi becomes convinced it is haha. Really loved some of Hella's quips, especially calling the caverns of Isengard hell, and telling Sauroman it was in fact he who had chosen death because of how much he had inflicted death on the forests around him. Tolkien would be proud. 🌳
I've always loved that this movie kind of frames it like Bilbo is just making up stories about trolls squishing him into jelly, and that's exactly how these two reacted. That's such a great bit of story telling on Peter Jackson's part. Cause that is how all the other hobbits saw him, Old Bilbo making up tall tales again.
Holy shit! The two most beautiful reactors of all time reacting to the greatest trilogy of all time!!!

The song Aragorn sings has huge importance! Here is the full version: “The leaves were long, the grass was green, The hemlock-umbels tall and fair, And in the glade a light was seen; Of stars in shadow shimmering, Tinnúviel was dancing there, To music of a pipe unseen
And light of stars was in her hair
And in her raiment glimmering
There Beren came from mountains cold; And lost he wandered under leaves; And where the Elven-river rolled. He walked alone and sorrowing. He peered between the hemlock-leaves; And saw in wonder flowers of gold
Upon her mantle and her sleeves
And her hair like shadow following
Enchantment healed his weary feet
That over hills were doomed to roam
And forth he hastened, strong and fleet
And grasped at moonbeams glistening
Through woven woods in Elvenhome
She lightly fled on dancing feet
And left him lonely still to roam
In the silent forest listening
He heard there oft the flying sound
Of feet as light as linden-leaves
Or music welling underground
In hidden hollows quavering
Now withered lay the hemlock-sheaves
And one by one with sighing sound
Whispering fell the beachen leaves
In the wintry woodland wavering
He sought her ever, wandering far
Where leaves of years were thickly strewn
By light of moon and ray of star
In frosty heavens shivering
Her mantle glinted in the moon
As on a hill-top high and far
She danced, and at her feet was strewn
A mist of silver quivering
When winter passed, she came again
And her song released the sudden spring,
Like rising lark, and falling rain
And melting water bubbling
He saw the elven-flowers spring
About her feet, and healed again
He longed by her to dance and sing
Upon the grass untroubling
Again she fled, but swift he came
Tinnúviel ! , Tinnúviel !
He called her by her elvish name
And there she halted listening
One moment stood she, and a spell
His voice laid on her: Beren came
And doom fell on Tinúviel
That in his arms lay glistening
As Beren looked into her eyes
Within the shadows of her hair
The trembling starlight of the skies
He saw there mirrored shimmering
Tinnúviel the elven-fair
Immortal maiden elven-wise
About him cast her shadowy hair
And arms like silver glimmering
Long was the way that fate them bore
O'er stony mountains cold and grey
Through halls of ireon and darkling door,
And woods of nightshade morrowless
The Sundering Seas between them lay
And yet at last they met once more
And long ago they passed away
In the forest singing sorrowless”
The true elvish version is far greater and so full of beauty & nuanced mournful sadness that’s break the hearts of mortals from its beauty and sadness so the true song has been sort of taboo and the mannish tongues that retell it is stated to only be a shadow beneath the tree of the true story!
(A clip of it is in the original definitive version though. Viggo Mortenson who plays Aragorn designed the melody and style himself and wished it to sound Celtic in nature.)
I recommend reacting to the cover done by Clamavi De Profundis and Tolkien Ensemble after the trilogy is finished and even “How Howard Shore Used Voices”. You’ll see just how deep it went. The lore itself went into the musics lyrics. Using the languages within middle earth. So even when stuff couldn’t be put in they found other ways to highly reference it via the music. It ties in all the themes at the very end in a very profound way. The thumbnail image for it is Galadriel and the image has a blue tint.
Thank you for such an in depth reaction to this film. I've seen countless reactions to this on RUclips but yours truly stands out as one of the best!
Thank you thank you 🙏❤️🥹

I was hoping you'd watch these movies! So excited for the journey you're beginning.
It's a little confusing, but yes, Aragorn's lullaby was a song about a different elf woman. The song is about Luthien, an elf woman who died a long time ago, and her story is very famous to the people of Middle Earth. Luthien is also similar to Arwen, the one Aragorn loves, because Arwen and Luthien both fell in love with mortals. And the story in the song has a very sad ending. So when Aragorn is singing, he's thinking of the woman he loves and worrying that she might have a sad ending too, just like Luthien did.
The important point is that when he was singing, Aragorn was thinking about Arwen, and Arwen is the only woman he loves.
Bilbo Walking Song: “Roads go ever ever on, Over rock and under tree, By caves where never sun has shone, By streams that never find the sea; Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.
Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known”
The original version of the song is recited by Bilbo in the last chapter of The Hobbit, at the end of his journey back to the Shire. Coming to the top of a rise he sees his home in the distance, and stops and essentially sings what I shared above!
There are three versions of this walking song in The Lord of the Rings.
The first is sung by Bilbo when he leaves the Shire and is setting off to visit Rivendell:
“The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.”
The second version is identical except for changing the word "eager" to "weary" in the fifth line. It is spoken aloud, slowly, by Frodo, as he and his companions pause on their way to Crickhollow, looking beyond to lands that some of them have never seen before.
The third version is spoken by Bilbo in Rivendell after the hobbits have returned from their journey. Bilbo is now an old, sleepy hobbit, who murmurs the verse and then falls asleep.
“The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
Let others follow it who can!
Let them a journey new begin,
But I at last with weary feet
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
My evening-rest and sleep to meet.”
1977: The Hobbit (1977 film): Sections of the poem are sung during the trip through Mirkwood. It appears on the soundtrack titled "Roads".
1980: The Return of the King (1980 film):
A song inspired by the poem is sung at the end of the film called "Roads Go Ever, Ever On".
1981: The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series):
Bilbo sings the song as he leaves Bag End. It is sung by John Le Mesurier to a tune by Stephen Oliver.
1997: An Evening in Rivendell:
The Tolkien Ensemble adapted an original melody to the song, composed by Caspar Reiff.
2001: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring:
Parts of the song are sung by Gandalf in his first appearance, and also by Bilbo as he leaves Bag End.
2006: The Lord of the Rings Musical:
The poem is the basis of the song "The Road Goes On" sung by Sam, Frodo, Merry, and Pippin in the first act.
2014: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies:
Lines of the poem partially make up the lyrics of The Last Goodbye, performed by Billy Boyd(Pippin) for the credits of the film.
This is just stuff to know when you see the next films. Maybe seeing this will spark something you read here or in other people’s comments via future reactions to the other 2 films as well as the 3 The Hobbit movies!
Lol. Frodo was not a little boy. What the film does not mention is the fact that the party at the beginning was not just for Bilbo. It was also Frodo's birthday party. Frodo was turning 33, the age that a Hobbit becomes a legal adult. The amount of time between the night of the party (when Bilbo left) and the night that Gandalf came back and asked "Is it secret? Is it safe?" was 17 YEARS! At the beginning of the quest, when Frodo and Sam leave the Shire, Frodo is 50 years old.
Ahhh, I've been looking forward to you watching this for months, and that was just as enjoyable as I knew it would be. Cannot wait for the next part! Love this channel, love you guys!!
The song heard when the elves were spotted in the forest by Frodo&Sam near the beginning: chanting a very special Hymn to make their journey most safe:(With English translation)

(The elvish name given to Varda is Elbereth Gilthoniel is one of the main Valar who are of the main group of entities known as the Ainur who sang the world into being and helped shaped it further from within after some entered into the young world. She is most loved & honoured by the elves for many reasons)
It’s very important as regarding the elves history that spanned over 40,000+ years. Because even one of the three high kings within Valinor was 30,000 years old well before the third age. Galadriel is his granddaughter just do you know. Yeah. She’s very important throughout the entire histories. They are passing away with what’s left of their kin to the undying lands. Many thousands had their home in middle earth just like the high kings ancestors that woke to the stars. Their birth is shrouded in mist as is their entire existence itself. That in itself is a whole story. You’d love to react to the immersive and entertaining lore videos like moviejoob & OmarioRPG have done. It’s ever vast and rewarding to let touch your soul.❤❤❤❤
Varda is a Quenya name of Valarin origin meaning "Sublime", "Exalted" or "Lofty"
Elentári means queen of the stars in Quenya. Elbereth means queen of the stars in Sindarin. Gilthoniel means kindler of the stars in Sindarin.
An original title of Varda, meaning 'the Kindler', and deriving from her making of the first faint stars in ancient times which was to light the dark world which had no sun yet and they loomed over the original Dark Lord (Fallen Valar named Morgoth by the elves) who he feared most above all even as supposedly he was the mightiest and first of all Ainur to ever exist (Ainur is the ultimate race of both Maiar and Valar)
When, long afterwards, she used the dews of Telperion, (one of the two sacred trees that predated the Moon of which it birthed later on) to kindle brighter stars still, this honorific name seems to have fallen out of favour. After that time she was called instead Elentári, the Queen of the Stars.

@@STOCKHOLM07 Well, corporate greed is the reason those IP's have become terrible. You can tell the market has made a clear shift in this past decade, and most big movie companies are now making decisions based primarily on low risk earnings. Its not worth it for a corporation to take a gamble with a new IP or story when they can just re-release or add to an already successful IP and milk it for more money instead, corporate greed.
I’m sorry, but Star Wars always suffered from terrible writing, it’s apparent that Lucas was not very talented in that aspect and did not have the story fully fleshed out, or whoever it was that did most of the writing. Honestly it seems like they were just making it up as they went and the franchise suffered for that. Also, these new movies/shows do not in any way sully or hurt the original or source material, I don’t know much about the new Star Wars stuff, I don’t watch it as I don’t care for that franchise. But where LOTR is concerned, Rings of Power is more fan fiction than portraying anything from the books, it’s not like they are adding anything to it, nothing is canon, they arent rewriting anything. So I’ve never understood why people get so upset about these things.

Not American culture so much as English culture. But you'll still love it.
English culture and norse mythology.
More mythology of Britain before what was there was slowly washed away by countless invasions by the Norse, French, and saxons. Tolkien saw King Arthur as more of a Norman mythology.
@@Davidofthelost I won't argue with Tolkien on such subjects because he's clearly the master, but the Arthurian legends definitely have a distinct Saxon feel to them to my thinking. Then again, it also seems to have a lot of influences from Charlemagne who, of course, conquered Saxony.
That said, most of the details of Arthur can be traced back to Geoffrey of Monmouth, born in Wales to what were possibly (probably?) Frankish parents. It's clear that he spoke little Welsh but plenty of Latin and French. This is probably where Tolkien gets his opinions on the subject. How much of what Geoffrey concocted about Arthur is based on any kind of reality is unknown, but probably little more than some names and places.

@@KellyBrown-h3u Aaah, the original SW trilogy is good, but it's far from being perfect.
48:07 Well played, editor. Well played.
One of the best Trilogies ever made! Right up there with "Back To The Future" and "Indiana Jones"
You can absolutely go to the Hobbit town. It's still there in New Zealand where this was filmed.
I'm so happy to re-watch this great story with you ladies, there's so many scenes I can't wait to see your reactions to. ❤
Such a great reaction. I felt your emotions with you. This trilogy was everything back when it came out ❤️
15:34 it was heavy indeed! They made different sized rings for filming, this one for the express purpose of not bouncing when it falls.
In the books, Gandalf is gone for 17 years before coming back to the shire. Frodo is 47 years old, and Sam is his employee. Pippin and Mary are Frodo’s best friends. In the book, 5 hobbits left to another house in the shire. Then Frodo, Sam, Mary, and pippin leave the shire. The 5th hobbit pretends that Frodo is there in the house.
Merry not Mary!
I hope it's the extended editions. Especially for the next two movies. 👀
I just found this channel! So awesome to see the reaction from you too!
Thank you!! 😁
I've been patiently waiting for part 2, so I can finally watch both parts together.
Your funny but sweet comments are golden!
Really great reaction ladies. I enjoyed it very much. I'm very impressed with how good your guesses are about what it going to happen next. You really get what is going on with the story and I love that. I look forward to seeing your reactions to the next 2 movies. Thanks for doing this.
Fun facts: Liv Tyler, the actress that portrays Arwen, and Orlando Bloom, the actor that portrays Legolas, are both fluent in Elvish because of LOTR. You may also recognize Orlando Bloom as Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Also, when they were filming Pirates of the Caribbean, in the underwater boat scenes, when Orlando was close to passing out from lack of air, he automatically starts speaking in Elvish. Also, Liv Tyler is the daughter of Steven Tyler (the lead singer of Aerosmith).
And Sir Ian McKellen, who portrays Gandalf, is also known for playing Magneto in the Fox X-Men films. And Sir Christopher Lee portrays Saruman.
15:00 I'm not a LOTR expert, but to explain this moment, Gandalf is basically a God (explanation below).
15:40 To achieve the illusion that The One Ring is supernaturally heavy, they made a BIG version of the prop (over a foot in diameter) that weighed around 20 pounds. They used forced perspective to make it work visually.
16:30 Gandalf was surprised that Bilbo was unaffected by The One Ring. Normally, no one can resist it, and definitely can't just give it away. The One Ring makes whoever touches it covet it, obsess over it, and never want to part with it.
The entirety of the LOTR world was created by Eru Ilúvatar, the supreme deity of Arda (Earth). Eru created the Ainur (aka. the Holy Ones), primordial beings before the creation of the world itself. Of the Ainur, there were 15 that were more powerful than the rest. 14 of them became the Valar (the Powers of Arda, basically Gods that oversaw the order of Earth), and the last became the first Dark Lord. Then there were the Maiar, who were created to help the Valar shape the world. Five Maiar, in the Third Age (the time period the story is set in) became the "Incarnated Wizards" (two of which are Gandalf and Saruman). Sauron is also a Maiar.
I have been looking forward to Movie Munchies reacting to the Lord of the Rings for quite a while now I'm happy to see that it is being done.
These are some of the best movies ever made and I am really enjoying watching you two enjoying them
When it comes to the Fantasy Genre, the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and his fellow Inklings (such as C.S. Lewis, the author of The Chronicles of Narnia) are the central pillar and a bar set so high, no other author even comes close, not even George R.R. Martin and J.K. Rowling.
"The Incident With the Dragon" is the premise of The Hobbit series.
The song he's singing is "The Lay of Beren and Luthien." It's about two star-crossed lovers and it can be found in The Silmarillion.
