Here at last, on the shores of UA-cam, comes the end of the fellowship, I will not say do not weep, because the two towers is 40% written. Thanks to all patrons, super thankers, and everyones who has liked shared or commented, it keeps the LOTR series alive! I'm sure you're aware it doesn't perform as well as Qui and Star Wars stuff, sometimes we do make a loss on these vids, but LOTR is my first love and every donation or bit of engagement allows me to keep going with it. So please continue!
This is so brilliantly performed and finalised that I wish it would get more views. The Tolkien storylines are less kids shows than *Star Wars* so the difference in being trending (in social media) is way less of course xP
If Boromir hadn't been there, Frodo would've been at the shore when the Orcs attacked, which means that Merry and Pippin may not have been taken, so Aragorn and co. would never have went to Fanghorn and thus never dealt with Saruman, which means the Rohirim would have fallen at Helm's Deep, which means Gondor would have fallen at the battle of Minas Tirith and thus there would have been no distraction for Frodo to sneak the ring into Mordor, which means Sauron would have won. Boromir dying is the Nexus Event that leads directly to the Dark Lords fall.
@@erikhermansen3431 There was never much hope, only a fool's hope. The mission as planned was an impossible one and not logical. A Hail Mary toss when nothing else was left.

The group dynamics are so ritchly interwoven, it takes 2 or 3 rewatches to pick up on all the little details. Well done. Hilarious. Loved watching Boromir squirm. 😅
I wonder the chances Charlie will ever cover the other two films in the trilogy. Seeing Gandalf’s reaction towards the siege of Isengard would be hilarious.
Poor Boromir. He is my second favorite character. He was desperate to protect his people from insurmountable forces of pure evil, he died honorably protecting the innocent 😔
And tbh, Gondor REALLY was the bulwark for the southwest. The elves and dwarves had to work together against GOBLINS only. Unarmored trolls? Pft. That's cake for elves. Ground zero Mordor? Fffffffffuuuuuuukkkk. Nazgul? Cmon. They had it rough.
A chance for Charlie of... UA-cam to show his quality. And he did. Again, and again, and again. Doubt you'll read this, but you're an absolute gem, Charlie. Here's to 1 milllion.
I know these videos don't do as well as Star wars but they're so comfortable and they've helped cope with some hard days. Will be waiting for the two towers if/when you decide to do them
As a (so-called) Tolkien scholar recently declared that Tolkien's works have no set canon it seems that Gandalf sharing a flat with Charlie can now be considered an official part of the legendarium 😁
Even funnier that theres direct quotes from tolkien about adaptations being bad for changing canon needlessly. After chap called Zimmerman tried to rings of power his story in the 70's iirc.
Tbf he is kind of right the only stuff that is 100% part of Tolkien’s work is the stuff published when he was alive everything published by Christopher you do have to take with a pinch of salt as it was not official finished by Tolkien himself and he was changing stuff all the time up to his death.
@@GuitarJammerJohn not really theres a difference between a creator refining their work and it being followed in the same spirit as the original works than idk making a character intended to be the hight of feminity and wisdom and turning her into a girlboss dumber than a few children i know.
@@iguran6035 I’m not really talking about ROP though it’s certainly made changes I think are stupid. I think If it was it’s own thing and wasn’t based on Tolkiens work it’s a fun bit of fantasy. I just mean it’s not entirely wrong to argue some of what is considered canon we can’t be completely sure on because Tolkien didn’t finish his other work so we don’t really know what he was going to stick with or change.
You deserve a million subscribers for spreading this much joy and hilarity. I'm going to pop down to The Paths of the Dead to see if I can rustle up another 76K. Back in a bit.
I just recently found put it together that Galadriel intentionally unsettled Boromir about Gondor so he would try to take the ring. If he had not then Frodo would have either tried to wander off, maybe do it alone and fail in so many places or captured outright. And at least in the movies it sets Aragorn on the path of becoming the king Gondor needs.
These should be included in the next DVD/BluRay release of the LOTR. To me they are cannon. I even want another season of the Amazon crap show, just to see Charlies videos. Can't say how much I love these.
Great finale, loved the behind-the-scene footage Your Faramir is sometimes too similar to your Elrond, but I think it will get its own flavor in time And the plot twist of Gandalf's big brother, nice!
8 pints in, devoured half a tray of costco croissants the wife bought, ignoring her belly-aching about something. This is the perfect video. Cheers Charlie.
Gandalf and Aragorn being nice to Boromir was weirdly wholesome I have to say. I think i've been on the Boromir end of a conversation like that once or twice
23:39 Why am I getting upset that Boromir isn't getting a proper song in this comedy sketch? Edit: I found one at ua-cam.com/video/LjPxuY9djhw/v-deo.html
Charlie, this is peak UA-cam. You got me through Rings of Power, and these are just a joy. Plus we just watched the LOTR trilogy with my 9yo, so now all three of us are laughing our way through these. Thank you!!
Omg, i totally missed Gandalf's joke: your heart is in the right place. Thats probably part of the problem. And elrond just looking at him with a death glare. I accidentally woke up my boyfriend from his sleep because i was choking on my laugh. These are so good. Everytime i come back i pick up on a new joke that flew over my silly little head the first time around.
I can't believe I never realised that the big brother Gandalf is always talking about is Gandalf the White. It seems so obvious now, and I feel kind of silly.
Boromir's sacrifice was totally heroic and justified. I mean just look at that first Uruk-Hai that was coming at Merry and Pippin. Clearly he did not understand or was not listening to the instructions Honestly the job training practices of Isengard should come under question with the clear incompetence on display here by this Uruk-Hai hunting party
Would love to see more of the behind the scenes stuff from the cuts and extended editions. Boromir had some good in him. He tried to help his brother get past his ignant dad at Osgiliath. He also tied up Lurtz until Aragorn could come fight him, and considering Lurtz DAYUM near killed Aragorn.... he may have indeed been a real thron in the Fellowship's side... J/S #DoRightByBoromir

For Frodo!
They're my favourites
I'm thankful for these video's, maybe if the gollum movie is good the franchise gets a bit more word of mouth.
Boromir's perpetual anxiety was through the roof for this one 🤣
Boromir has no anxiety.. he's a jock.. he lives in the moment
At least Gandalf gives him a little chicken honor as consolation.
Never be too careful, can ye'?
pretty sure this guy does starwars skits too, Anakin is usually the axiety character in those iirc 😆
I was actually getting anxious watching him! 🤪
Boromir being disappointed that Aragorn resisted the Ring is so funny! 😂😂😂
never, ever take Boromir away from the viewing party
He should get to see everything he missed!
I second that notion. Him and faramir talking crap to each other is golden.
Actually more intriguing as there's many moments he could react to

Brilliant as always. Boromir always out of breath always cracks me up.
You'd be out of breath too with your lungs full of arrows 😂
Take heart, Boromir. I am reasonably certain that your sacrifice is what finally got Aragorn to take responsibility for Gondor.
Yeah lol because there was no one left. If you look closely you can see Aragorn's expression sorta reads "... fak, now I have to do stuff, g'damnit"
only weak movie aragorn
These videos are so therapeutic man. It's like watching the trilogy again with your best friends. Bless you Charlie!
Perfect sentiment ❤😂🎉
I do find it impressive that even with the hilarious commentary, boromir's death still makes me tear up.
Poor ol Boromir. The mugging aside, I wanted to give him a hug.
"How will this hug help my people?"
"Now he talks.
Now the conversation flows."
Killed me. Absolutely killed me. 😂
Saruman is freaking hilarious.
I like how you used the actual Viggo fishing clip
I love Boromir. He is such a complex character because he is actually good. He shows what fear and need can drive a person to do.
Boromir:"Why didn't I get that reaction?!This is favoritism!"
Faramir:".........?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Faramir: "you tried to take the ring 💍 from Frodo! 😕
Boromir: "yes..😅 🫴
Faramir: *thinks for a long time* "hmm 🤔 father would've liked to hear that."
@@jebVlogs556 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Boromir is just the best. I felt his frustration with being disrespected this episode for sure
Faramirs reactions to Boramir and their relationship are pure gold. I love that he has joined the party. I can hardly wait for the two towers! Bravo!
Charlie you have solidified your name as legend. The best piece of art and media since the trilogy itself. Great stuff 👏
I love how Charlie's characters and their relationship to each other has grown over these vids.

I asked and was granted an empty promise from Charlie to do this exact thing 😂 have hope brother
Yes please!!
"A failed mugging" - Elrond twisting the knife there.
Poor Boromir. He is my second favorite character. He was desperate to protect his people from insurmountable forces of pure evil, he died honorably protecting the innocent 😔
and the only one of the fellowship who died. I was glad when he appeared in the Return of the King extended edition.

I loved tying in the extra behind the scenes footage for more story.
10:27 Boromir was so ready to see Aragorn fall to the temptation of the ring! 😂
Elrond: “Every fellowship needs a few bush hiders”
🤣🤣🤣
Boromir gradually disappearing inside of himself and his box of Shreddies is just the best... x'D
Gandalf's knitting outtakes might spawn another channel!
2:57 "The Hobbits were bangging on about pre-dinner or supper adjacent or something" haha

It is a gift...
@@TheSixthDoctor a gift to the foes of Mordor 🤌
No Boromir don't use this "gift".
Totally spewed my drink 😂😂😂 at the "kind of thing father would like, to be honest"
Boromir waited for Aragón to fail 😅
Nope.. even beyond death,it didn't happen 😂
"This is favoritism!!!" Lol Faramirs look killed me xD
Came to the comments to find this🤣
I love the strong implication that Aragorn was responsible for Sam’s foot injury.
I absolutely love your videos! You do such great work and you make me want to rewatch the series all over again with these guys as the characters.

Thank you Charlie, you are legendary! Can't wait for the two towers! 😎
The 10% increase bit was amazing

He's a petty little reluctant king, but he's our petty little reluctant king.
