    "It was a dark night, the smell of blood and the rotting meat filled the air around me as I drew my last Breath...then a mighty Dwarven warrior saved me...I'll never forget what he said"

    Gimli is a 10/10 example of a comic relief character who is actually funny and isn't obnoxious and is actually useful and doesn't just sit around for no reason.

      @Definitely_Not_Sheev_Palpatine 2 роки тому +667

      It works for Gimli because
      A.) He's useful and does far more than just make jokes
      B.) His humor is very character-specific. Every funny thing he says is funny because it's Gimli saying it, and the humorous ways he responds to various situations are very in-character

      one big issue i have with the extended editions is there's even more gimli comic relief, when it would've been nice if he had been fleshed out at least a little more.

      @@Definitely_Not_Sheev_Palpatine This is true. Merry and Pippin were able to deliver the slapstick or dimwitted styles of joke, Smeagol/Gollum the nonsensical and strange and Gimli the hyper masculine competitive humour.
      Spreading the humour across characters like this allows each character to breathe and have a rational reason for being included in the plot.
      Compare Jar Jar. Had he been clumsy under pressure but keen to consider options when given time to do so, he could've been a valuable foil to Anakin's rage. Were he a physical specimen with no mind for strategy or decision making, he would counter the Jedi teaching neatly yet remain a useful ally. Meanwhile, C3PO and R2D2 could've taken some comedic aspects from him - as could young Anakin and even Yoda.

Before the fight, they found a book in there, which chronicled the fortunes of Balin's expedition, and it explicitly mentions both "Durin's Axe" and "something Helm", probably relics that the dwarves retrieved from wherever the King of the Dwarves' regalia was stolen off to by the orcs. If I'm right, then the axe Gimli picked up to use in that fight, and which he kept for the rest of the adventure is that so-named Durin's Axe. The Axe of the Dwarven King.

      Meanwhile the Studio made Hobbit movies have scenes where the characters talk about being ready to take on 100s (1000s?) of Orcs on their way in open ground with no cover as just the two of them and it seems so silly and like you're watching a dumb video game instead lol.

      I add more.
      Centuries before Faenor, perhaps the greatest elven smith in the Middle Earth and grandfather of Celebrimbor, asked for a single strand of her hair. Yet Galadriel refused. She felt the darkness on his heart, the greed and envy running inside him. And he requested it in 3 ocasions.
      Granting three to Gimli is, as result, a proof that she trusts and believes on the pure hearted dwarf more than one of her folk.

    • @dclark142002
      @dclark142002 Рік тому +29

      @@fabiocosta3830, I'll add more. Feanor created the Silmarills because he was inspired by the concept that Galadriel's hair captured the merged light of the Two Trees of Valinor, which were the source of light before the sun. Once Melkor and Ungoliant had poisoned the two trees, and Feanor was denied strands of Galadriel's hair, the Silmarills were the only way of retaining the light of the trees. Feanor hoarded the gems and would not allow the Gods (the Valar) to restore the two trees with their light. This allowed Melkor to steal them and retreat to Middle Earth.
      Feanor then swore an oath to pursue Melkor and regain the Silmarils. It was this oath that first led the Elves to return to Middle Earth from Valar since creation, and though the elves were never strong enough to directly oppose Melkor...it would be this conflict over the Silmarils that would lead to much death and sadness among the elves in Middle Earth. This is essentially the beginning of recorded history in Middle Earth.
      Eventually, one would be recovered by Beren...and eventually through a long story set in the heavens as the brightest evening star.
      The other two would not be recovered for a long time...and their recovery would be resisted by the jewels themselves. The two elves that recovered them from Melkor's defeat would throw themselves into a volcano and the sea respectively. Meaning that the three jewels would reside in the sky, sea, and land.
      It is said that when the end of time comes, the Valar (the Gods) will reunite the gems, and Feanor will open them and restore the two trees and the world will again be restored to perfection.
      So...Galadriel's hair is as desired as the three most powerful peaces of jewelry EVER KNOWN in all the history of Middle Earth. They are even more desired than Sauron's ring of power.
      Feanor, one of the most accomplished and powerful Elves EVER asked for them even to restore the world...and Galadriel said no.
      So, when Gimli asks and she gives him three...its a HUGELY significant symbolic gesture.

    0:58 That line becomes even more meaningfull when you know a bit about Galadriels history. A long time before the story of the lord of the rings, during the first Age, Fëanor, considered to be the greatest Elf to exist (seriously it took multiple Balrogs to kill him) asked, almost demanded, from Galadriel a single strand of her hair. She denied him three times because of his arrogance (though back then she herself was quite pridefull). Here she freely gives Gimli, a dwarf who wasnt even part of royal line, not one but three.

      Piotr Dubrawski it is a possibility people knew about the nervous system for a very long time. Records dating all the way back to ancient Egypt when pharaohs would get mummified mentioned muscle movement after death due to specific muscles being touched. So it's very well possible for it to be known in medieval fantasy. A good example is looking at medieval autopsies. You'd be very surprised, doctors back then knew a good amount about the human body, they just didn't know until after the fact and how to experiment.

      Legolas is a wood elf, which means he has partied alot since wood elves love to party.
      The fact that he's a prince means he had acces to the best elvish wine for millenia (which is stronger then regular beer)
      And not to forget that elves have a natural immunity to poison.
      So the fact that Gimli managed to get legolas to drink so much beer that he started to feel a slight tingling in his fingers is extremely impressive.

    The amount of history behind that small action speaks a lot to Gimli's character and his respect for Galadriel and her beauty. Him asking was actually a giant faux pas among the elves, as one of Galadriel's relatives constantly asked for strands of her hair to create something, rather than out of respect for her, so she always denied him.
    And here walks up this little dwarf, child of a race unbegotten by god, who when offered a gift by Galadriel said he needed nothing. But when she said she'd give anything in her power, all he asked was a hair from her head, not for anything but to admire her beauty from afar. And she gave him three.

      +PuellaRogue Its common knowledge that the constitution of a dwarf is far far greater then the one of an elf. Their only strength against them really. I would say intoxication is a fortitude save so unless Legolas rolled stupid good, Gimli should have won easily. The dwarf body is much better in handling poisons, alcohol, stress and pain.
      The scene where Gimli explains that dwarfs are short sprinters is also not logical. A dwarf has superior stamina and can run for days. Elfs on the other hand can run really fast, light and stealthily but not for a great amount of time.
