      I could actually imagine writing a whole Darrylgorn movie. I picture him as slightly jealous of Aragorn, King of Gondor, so he decides, as a half elf to take over the now abandoned elvish lands of Lindon, Lothlórien, and Rivendell and try to set up his own kingdom. And to further try to put himself on par with his half brother he tries to find some reason to have a quest like the fellowship of the rings, but there is just nothing that threatening going on. Still, he assembles two drunken hobbits who had been evicted from the Shire, a claustrophobic dwarf who can't live inside the mountains with the others, a very effeminate and not very powerful wizard called Pandor the Pink, and a very forgetful elf who is the last remaining in Middle Earth because he missed the boat when all the others sailed into the west. So, not knowing what noble quest they could embark on their fellowship sets out on a quest to find a quest, but keep coming up with things like "The Quest for the Missing Cat".

      The point of this video is to play dumb and make fun of the film. He’s claiming things as if he is a main role here like being a hot brother of Aragorn, having Peter Jackson as his servant who cameos a lot, claiming Gandalf as his friend, and eventually stating that he uses Glamdring when it’s not. Don’t you guys get it? Of course he knows it isn’t Glamdring and surely there is a whole lot of crews around him to tell him anything about that and correct him if he’s wrong. 😊

    I hate to admit it but Stephen kinda looks like an RDJ-Hugh Jackman mix when he's in his Darrylgorn getup

    You can just tell from the smile reaching the very corners of his eyes that Stephen was genuinely, genuinely elated to be there. It was not an act.

    Um.
    That's not Glamdring.

    Sorry, Stephen.

    Honestly I think I’m almost as much as if not more of a Tolkien fan as Stephen, and seeing someone able to experience this knowing their love for it is as fierce as mine really makes me happy knowing someone so smart and kind as Stephen can experience it for us and show us the amazingness of that world

    I have a young tiny friend who happened to move to New Zealand with her husband shortly after they married. She got a job as a stand in dwarf, had to get glued into beard. She slid off a horse in a scene, and Peter Jackson yelled, "Dwarf Down!" God I love that story. I sent her these posts today. THANKS Stephen 😀
