Can you imagine that there are people to this day that still consider media as nothing but entertainment? Useful only to make us smile and laugh for a couple hours?
I watched these movies as a child, and I got so much from them that sticks with me even now, as I'm approaching 30 years. The way I think about the world, about people, and the way I conduct myself as a person, is *heavily* affected by these things that I learned from watching such great stories. Heroism, tragedy, friendship, corruption, triumph over evil, and so many other elements that form the basis of what I value in this life, and how I look at life itself.
It's a collection of some of the most thematically rich stories ever told, even past what Tolkien himself wanted to show in his writing, and the movies expand on it even more. To call these stories impactful sounds too simple and inadequate.
People who don't acknowledge that stories have purpose scare me
There's a thousand themes in LotR. His largest desire was to describe a myth for England & to show the little people of the countryside as the heroes, how even the smallest, most understated person can make the greatest difference. There's the importance of history, the power of ancestors we look up to, the value of love & of longing. There's a great, great many ideas at play.
These guys' gushing over LOTR is the only thing that brings me joy in life.
It's more prominent in the Silmarillion than it is in LotR, but the theme of providence is an interesting one in Tolkien's work. The idea that all things are part of the song of creation and that even evill can be good for having been, yet remain evil still. It's absolutely a Christian idea, but I think the works present a good argument for the philosophy. It is the belief that all will come to good in the end that allows characters like Gandalf to remain totally unshakable in their conviction to do the right thing, regardless of "rational" hope or lack thereof. Gandalf presents the "high-minded" version of this idea, in that he understands his own philosophy. while Sam presents the "simple man" version, where he has no considered philosophy, but a rustic and simple trust in the good, and a faith that if only you do your small part to the best of your ability, that a better future can be achieved.
Well golly gee, it’s almost as if strong writing that keeps the story as internally consistent and free of massive plot holes, contrivances, and contradictions as possible actually informs and reinforces the themes that the artist was trying to convey, rather than needing to have themes beaten over our heads because the story doesn’t make any sense. We should show these videos to Last Jedi apologists.
This is gonna sound bad, but when pippins singing, and the orks are watching the riders come… and slowly start raising their bows up into frame has always been a LITTLE funny to me XD
The way that between every scene they just multiply? Yeah, that's so funny
It’s amazing how good Howard Shore is, especially when you learn that the theme to the industrialization of Isengard is the reversal of musical notes of the Fellowship setting out from Rivendell theme.
One theme to rule them all, one theme to find them, one them to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.
Fine... I'll watch the LOTD EFAP breakdowns again
LOTR*
I'll watch until the Internet is dead!
Hell, I'll even watch Mauler's Lord of Ring Gollum playthrough again!
Insane how many things worked perfectly for make these movies
Salted pork gang!
I've heard it's particularly good.
🧂🍖
Is it back on the menu?
@@archstanton9073 it never left 😂
I miss Wolf..... i get it people don't like edgy furries or whatever the kids say, but Wolf makes edging worth-while.
Miss him no longer! For he is the curator of EFAP Highlights, and has even streamed himself playing games occasionally
He didn't even like being an edgy furry which is why he shut down his channel and disappeared for a while.
He got tired of edging with rags every week 😂
We all know.that the theme is drugs, alcohol and narcotics. I remember rags, wolf and mauler did a coverage of it
Gandalf's still spinning on the warehouse floor to this day. 😂
I have watched through the full breakdowns of all three at least twice, and I'm gonna do it again. Love the lads' commentary, and since I don't have my LOTR extended blue ray trilogy with me right now, this is really great.
I need more Wolf :(
We all need more wolf
But muh THEEEEEEMMMMMSSSS
I would not expect the analysis would blow me away or anything, but this is a very broad and rudimentary examinination of the ideas of LOTR. I would love to get on an EFAP one day to further illucidate why it is probably the greatest work of fiction to every exist.
The Lord of the Rings' themes are what dreams are made of.
RIP Theoden
Lord of Theme, Bobert.
But how did it make you feeEEeeel?
But weee beeeeelieeeeeved it!
What is Maulers favourite tv series? I want to watch them
The main thing is how Ghey Hobbits get it done! The Eye of Sauron was not expecting that Peak Fire.
Why is this here and not highlights channel? Neat discussion but a little bit confused
Less LotR simping, more movies~
You guys really don't have any new content?
But today is EFAP Day...
MUH THEMES!
fleems
Did they react to RLM’s Andor video?
No.
Not a single one of these themes were a question, therefore they are way too broad, and the movies suck
They made the themes too broad for NOUGH REASON!
Jeb
Reminds me of Karl Marx
EFAP crew has gotten lazy these days. Clips and stuff from years back.
That’s exactly the word I’d use to describe MauLer and the lads. For sure
By "years back" do you mean a couple months ago?
Try again 🤡
Mauler's chopping his gigantic LotR video into smaller bits so they'll be monetized. This is his livelihood after all.
