Well Azog is basically the commander of Sauron's armies at that time and is his best hunter, in other words he has several benefits that elevate him over the other orcs and servants.
Francesco Brosolo It may sound gross but what if she liked him as a mate? but nonetheless if she decided she didnt want him around anymore, she could have her wargs kill him
That's because of of his actor Manu Bennett. As written he was kind of a generic baddie, but Bennett kept pressing the directors for how he could portray the character with an emotional side. What resulted was the affection for the wargs
azog the cleanser is azog the cleanser, no need to bring bullshit star wars comparisons in here. tolkien the defiler already contaminated enough of middle-earth history as it is, we don't need to reiterate his bile and his lies.
Azog was definitely one of the positive things from the Hobbit trilogy. Along with Smaug, Bilbo and a couple of stunning locations: Mirkwood, Erebor, Goblin Town, Lake Town.
@@jangoescoricky9393 yep, they’re quite clearly not on the same level as the Lotr movies. That’s obvious. But I just fail to grasp where the hatred of the hobbit movies comes from
@@conor506 It depends on how you look at both. The Hobbit is better in certain ways, LOTR in its own ways. But each series does things a bit different... LOTR is very dark and miserable where the stakes initially are higher. The Hobbit is more upbeat overall. I like LOTR a lot but its more of a slog to watch the whole LOTR Trilogy and gets a bit sad. The Hobbit is better at being a light hearted adventure with some danger and its easier to watch honestly. The Hobbit is like a rollercoaster, LOTR feels more like a horror thriller at times which is still awesome. I think the whole brotherhood and friendship themes is handled better at times in the Hobbit trilogy. The Hobbits are all amusing and the side characters are more interesting at times. Both have bitter sweet moments towards the end, LOTR almost feels a biblical epic you need to be in the mood to watch that feels almost like a religious text with its level of detail. While the Hobbit is like a classic, fantasy adventure epic version of that. I'm happy we go both of these classic trilogies before the entertainment industry turned on the general public viewers with the films being made today. We got the great stuff before things turned to malarkey.
It makes me think that in the film universe Azog was some kind of mutant super-orc and after the his death Sauron spent the next 60 years trying a breed and recreate him, leading to the invention of the uruk-hai
*+ricardo ramirez* and to think those Azog-haters say HE is lame and old orcs are better! XD None of those 'scary' Uruk Hai would dare to speak to Saruman like this - who cannot even be compared to Sauron.
I know right?! He's a damn sexbomb among his kin XD He's beautiful. I totally can see him leaving the old life behind and becoming a model. Then the first number of *"Playorc"* comes out and finds it's way to Erebor and Thorin bursts a wessel just by seeing the first page. Should be a thing.
I think he was talking about Gandalf when he said "That one is mine." I always watched it that way anyways, like there was no way any other orc could've dreamed of taking on Gandalf.
No you are not, while Azog is nowhere near my most liked villain ever, I’d rank him as an at least above average LOTR villain in fact the only LOTR villains that I like more are Morgoth, Smaug, and Sauron himself.
Orcs speaking their native black tongue instead of a new Zealand accent makes them feel more real. one of the few things this prequel trilogy did right.
In these movies they do not speak black speech, it is more of a bastard orc language, only Azog is shown spkeaking ot and only with Sauron, and orcs speaking common speech is actually Tolkien's lore accurate: each orc group has it's own language, so they use common speech while talking to members of different "tribes" which is exactly what they are in the LotR trilogy, vast armies from different orc demographic. In the hobbit trilogy, since they mostly are Under the rule of Azog and Bolg, they speak the same orc tongue, and Sauron uses Black speech.
Azog is the best orc in the Middle Earth. He stands like a boss in front of Sauron himself, and is likeable. And since all "good" races are okay with some genocide of the "bad" races, I can totally justify his actions and hatred, so Azog is actually a hero of his own.
@G E T R E K T Sauron was formless and weak at that moment, he needed the orcs and Azog specially for his plans, Azog was worst than Sauron in that timeline
"Do you smell it? The scent of fear? I remember your father reeked of it Thorin son of Thrain." One of my favorite scenes of Azog the Pale Orc, a great performance of a villain.
Azog was built different. All the orcs were ugly and deformed, while he looked like a battle scarred warrior. All the orcs as dumb as rocks, Azog was a skilled military strategist. Most orcs don’t use words with more than two syllables, but azog uses a higher and broader vocabulary
Errrr............ Strongly Disagree - He had the mighiest army of Earth-eating creatures that could wipe out any other army in 5 seconds. If he wanted to wipe out the entirety of Erinbourne, it would only take a minute. But...... Azog chose to not use this army at all against the dwarves, elves or men.
The best thing about Azog is not that he's a freakishly strong warrior - it's that he is actually really smart. He didn't try to fight Beorn because he knew that would be suicide, and after having had Thorin escape from him so many times, he instead decides to distract him with goblins and bait him into a 1v1 deathmatch by murdering his nephew.
Azog is one gorgeous and badass mofo. Well done, wonderfull, 101% unique design that REALLY makes him stand out, he's a snowflake among coals. The fact he's beautiful doesn't make him less scary. The thought of a white, leucistic orc is, itself, really unique and deserves a clap. Definitely in my top favs from Hobbit. He doesn't deserve all the hate he gets from those people who still live LOTR and think he's shit. How's he shit? At least he got guts to actually speak to Sauron the way he does, while what the 'badass' Uruk Hai do? Follow Saruman's orders like blind puppies, never questioning, like live toys - because they ARE toys without their own will and thoughts. Who's worse here? Yes, Uruks might be more 'classic' and typically 'scary', but sorry, I'd be more afraid of Azog, than of any Uruk. At least they're human-sized and shaped. Azog is a freaking 8'5 foot tall, over 400 pounds heavy beast with canines like a tiger who doesn't really resemble a human anymore, not from any angle. I'd really like to make those people face Azog and I wonder if they'd tell him he's shit or piss and crap their pants XD The answer is rather obvious!
*+Jedesis* And they have the right to because this is called personal taste and opinions. BUT. What is not right here, is hating on Azog like a foolish, rabid 8 years old, saying he's nothing good and all shit, and worse, hating on people who like him. Which is sadly very common around here. People just for some reasons can't stand the fact someone DARES to like Hobbit more better than LOTR or Azog more than Lurtz. This is just sad. I like the LOTR movies quite a lot, but... I like Hobbit more, honestly, I don't care for Lurtz at all, because to me he's nothing special. Personal opinion. One of many, I even had a hard time telling him apart from other Uruks at first. CGI or not, they should at least have the guts to admit he has a very original design. While look at the LOTR orcs - most look the same. Yes, they're actors, they have wonderful makeup, but most of Uruks for example look the same. Cannot say the same about Azog, you can tell him apart from others as easily as you'd spot a diamond among coals. This alone is a great thing.
Sapphiresenthiss Bluescales I like both the LOTR Orcs and the Hobbit Orcs, the ideal Orc Army to me would be one made up of LOTR Orcs and Hobbit Orcs with Azog as supreme commander and Lurtz as high ranking subordinate of Azog's.
+Tim Carney I do like both kinds of orcs, too. Just that I like the Hobbit ones (not as much as all of them, but Azog and Bolg) better, but Uruks are amazing as well! I'm glad someone thinks like me! That would be one AMAZING army and a true fear to enemies.
its not that we shit on azog, we shit on orcs in general, bolg and azog are extremely rare cases in terms of orcs, most orcs are small, weak and cowardly, while uruk hai are not, and you can't really say how obedient or disobedient the uruk-hai are considering most of the real uruk-hai we saw, were only a few weeks old. and i like azog, but if him and lurtz fought, i would put my money on lurtz
And in a way he does get what he wanted, he wanted Thorin and his family dead, and he did get that, his bloodline lives on through Dain and his descendants but Azog still managed to kill quite a lot of characters both on and off screen. Overall if you asked me to rank the villains of the the entire saga from the least evil to the most evil, you’d better believe that Azog is one of the characters who would end up among the top 5 most vile.
I still can’t believe they were in theaters, like there’s some people that have never seen them or have ever thought about watching them and it makes me sad lol, just like how some people have never seen Star Wars or something
In Hobbit they should easy won too, all Azog Army had plate armor, big armored trolls and just better strategy but in Peter Jackson logic fishermen won because YES pfff
The thing is though that Orcs, in the books, can't speak black speech at all. They use a bastardized form of it but it is different among every tribe, therefore they have to speak Westron amongst each other as well. This is perfectly displayed in the Two Towers when the Uruk-Hai are arguing with the Orcs from Mordor
The enemy design in The Hobbit trilogy is really hit or miss. We have amazing things like Azog "The Symetrical Faced" and Sauron being depicted either as a dark presence darker than night or a blazing terror, but we also have Bolg with his ridiculous "armor implants" and those damn amputated trolls
I get the feeling Azog (and possably Blog) wasn't of the Second Age army or Sauron, but First Age army of Morgoth, or even Melkor. As in one of the Origninal Goblins/Orcs that were former elves.
I love how they retooled Azog and his son for the films. One thing I do wish is that Dain should have put Azogs head on a pike and filled his mouth with silver like in the lore.
Azog is by far the strongest orc in all of Middle-Earth. Though I think Peter Jackson shouldn't of had him killed by a mere dwarf. It would of been cool if he died in battling Beorn.
sooo... you know that "mere dwarfs" praticaly destroyed an entire army of dragons by themselves, right? Since you are saying that Azog is the most powerfull middle earth orc, i assume you know enough about the tolkien universe to say that.
Well, that exact thing did happen in the book, but it was Bolg that got killed by Beorn. If you ask me, I think Azog should have still been killed by Thorin as in the movie we got, but Legolas should not have stolen Beorn's kill. We have already seen enough of Legolas claiming the spotlight (especially the Mumakil scene in "The Return of the King"), so there was no need to build him up even more, in my opinion. In fact, I think it would make sense to have Bolg actually defeat Legolas, but then Beorn kills him before Legolas is finished off, saving his life. It would emphasis how powerful Bolg is as an orc, while the usual Legolas fans could still say that Legolas was much younger by that point and, therefore, not as "invincible" as he was in the later LotR movies.
Azog always looked like a pre-production stand-in. I thought they would add more realism before releasing the films. Compare to the Uruk-hai that Aragorn fights in Fellowship. That had no CGI, was WAY more scary.
The problem is The Hobbit trilogy was shot in 5K exposing the flaw of makeup especially for expression. Look at the evolution of rendering from Unexpected Journey to Battle of the Five Armies to see the improvement. Azog facial expression made a lot of difference that practical makeup would never fully reproduce. Contrast with Lutz having very little facial expression and limited movement.
@@Tippotipo Azog being cgi had no continuity with the orcs we were used to from the LOTR series, which made him look to me like he was painted on top of scenes. I really would have rather they kept the continuity instead of caring about facial expressions for a one-dimensional character like Azog.
Interesting details in the scene between Yazneg and Azog. The white warg communicated to the other locking exit for these orcs. The latter were fucked should they try to escape.
The Blackspeech is cool but it can be a little easier to enjoy their dialogue when you can understand it. One of the good orc scenes the Hobbit movies had was when that guy Narzug who speaks briefly at 0:45 is being interrogated by elves and has to speak English. You get a better sense of that orc-y sneer
Kill a thousand dwarves, tame the biggest, meanest wargs in the land, and live in the deepest forests only camping in the oldest ruins. Tip: Get your arm chopped off in battle by a prince and get a bladed club to be your new hand.
Azog had balls talking to Sauron like that
Well Azog is basically the commander of Sauron's armies at that time and is his best hunter, in other words he has several benefits that elevate him over the other orcs and servants.
@@michaelis2958 He is the general of sauron's military
Or he had Bolg to talk to him like that.
Sauron allowed it since no one knew it was him...
Gotta keep a low profile you know xD
@@sifuhotman1300 lol
What I like about Azog is how well he handles the Wargs. The other orcs can barely look at them without getting eaten.
Ranger Thompson Azog's white warg is the matriarch so being partnered with their mother give Azog authority over them

Overall if you asked me to rank the villains of the the entire saga from the least evil to the most evil, you’d better believe that Azog is one of the characters who would end up among the top 5 most vile.
We grow in number.We grow in strength.
BOLG!!!!!!!!!
Wish he had more epic moments
2:03 that trump face tho
lmao
Damn poor azog
Azog is not king
Hapijul Islam he is
Ughhh, the orcish at 1:43, just beautiful.
When you stan thorin but you also stan Azog so you cant choose a side and they endup both dying so now you have double the sadness
I know I'm in the minority, but I thought Azog looked fantastic.
The CGI is a little dated but the actual design is amazing.
Agreed, I like Azog’s design and character
@@shadowofhawk55 the CGI is perfect
These three films were events for me when they came out, watched the three of them in theaters
I still can’t believe they were in theaters, like there’s some people that have never seen them or have ever thought about watching them and it makes me sad lol, just like how some people have never seen Star Wars or something
The cool thing about him is that he matches with his dog wolf tiger lion thingy mbob they both are white
Yeah, a Pale Warg for a Pale Orc.
Azog looks exactly like a orc version of batista
My thought when I saw Beast Rabban in 2021 Dune.. That he looks like a sci-fi Uruk-Hai or Azog
Azog army in season 8 game of thrones. 100000% victory
In Hobbit they should easy won too, all Azog Army had plate armor, big armored trolls and just better strategy but in Peter Jackson logic fishermen won because YES pfff
one thing they did well in hobbits than lord of the rings orcs speaking their own language oh and also fighting scene of elrond and saruman
The thing is though that Orcs, in the books, can't speak black speech at all. They use a bastardized form of it but it is different among every tribe, therefore they have to speak Westron amongst each other as well. This is perfectly displayed in the Two Towers when the Uruk-Hai are arguing with the Orcs from Mordor
@@JRut99 I'm starving, we ain't had nothing but maggoty bread for 3 stinking days!
I like the way he articulates every word. Very charismatic orc. Though I hate him for killing thorin.
one pf my favorite villains, epic
Thanks for the video ... now I'm thinking for real to have a huge pic of Azog in my room
👌
i have too bolg ahahahaaa
That's right . Be a good little consumer.
;)
The enemy design in The Hobbit trilogy is really hit or miss. We have amazing things like Azog "The Symetrical Faced" and Sauron being depicted either as a dark presence darker than night or a blazing terror, but we also have Bolg with his ridiculous "armor implants" and those damn amputated trolls
I think few people noticed that Azog and the wargs were on Amon Sul, where then the Hobbits been with Aragorn.
Why are bald men always the most badass ?
The Dwarves have a lot of HATERS in Middle Earth.
Both in the LOTR and the hobbit..orcs are my favorite characters
Azog was way too handsome for an orc
Azog,Smaug and Sauron are great villain
I get the feeling Azog (and possably Blog) wasn't of the Second Age army or Sauron, but First Age army of Morgoth, or even Melkor. As in one of the Origninal Goblins/Orcs that were former elves.
I get the feeling to
Azog was more badass than any Orc or Uruk-Hai in all the films… Idk what else to even say ✌🏻🤣 he was Savage
0:50
"B O L G!!!"
I never thought that such a simple name can be uttered in such a badass way😮
I love how they retooled Azog and his son for the films. One thing I do wish is that Dain should have put Azogs head on a pike and filled his mouth with silver like in the lore.
Anyone else think the dark speech language is so cool
No
Yes
Azog is probably the closest Orcs have gotten to looking like Elves since Morgoth corrupted them in Utumno.
ilove azog ❤💙💚💛💜💓💕💖💗💘💝💞💟👍
always interested about bolg's head ingury :)
Azog is like the General Grievous of the orcs
I really like how Gwaihir and his brethren are always the MVPs in the Tolkien Mythology.
Azog favorimsin😍👌
*B O L G ! ! !*
LOTR and Hobbit are the best movies, that sounds are the best :)
Azog is my favorite
1:33 did anyone notice how he strut off camera?
Slade Wilson
Why deathstroke?
Manu Bennett
Subject of a failed military experiment.
I didn't even know it was him till I looked at the cast, I now love azog.
Crixus victor again
Best orc foe ever. one of the best evil character in fantasy movies.
The black speech sounds badass
Azog is handsome in all orces
Best orc ever!
I like the way Bolg enters whn he's called by Azog.He's confident,mean nd dnt giv a sh.t
Movies are still better than the Star Wars Prequels.
Azog is by far the strongest orc in all of Middle-Earth. Though I think Peter Jackson shouldn't of had him killed by a mere dwarf. It would of been cool if he died in battling Beorn.
but that wouldnt ruin the whole arc
Tyson Lawson that 'mere dwarf' was the king of Erebor, the king of all dwarves: that's cool enough...
Tyson Lawson that 'mere dwarf' was the king of Erebor, the king of all dwarves: that's cool enough...
sooo... you know that "mere dwarfs" praticaly destroyed an entire army of dragons by themselves, right? Since you are saying that Azog is the most powerfull middle earth orc, i assume you know enough about the tolkien universe to say that.
Well, that exact thing did happen in the book, but it was Bolg that got killed by Beorn. If you ask me, I think Azog should have still been killed by Thorin as in the movie we got, but Legolas should not have stolen Beorn's kill. We have already seen enough of Legolas claiming the spotlight (especially the Mumakil scene in "The Return of the King"), so there was no need to build him up even more, in my opinion.
In fact, I think it would make sense to have Bolg actually defeat Legolas, but then Beorn kills him before Legolas is finished off, saving his life. It would emphasis how powerful Bolg is as an orc, while the usual Legolas fans could still say that Legolas was much younger by that point and, therefore, not as "invincible" as he was in the later LotR movies.
Azog always looked like a pre-production stand-in. I thought they would add more realism before releasing the films. Compare to the Uruk-hai that Aragorn fights in Fellowship. That had no CGI, was WAY more scary.
The problem is The Hobbit trilogy was shot in 5K exposing the flaw of makeup especially for expression. Look at the evolution of rendering from Unexpected Journey to Battle of the Five Armies to see the improvement. Azog facial expression made a lot of difference that practical makeup would never fully reproduce. Contrast with Lutz having very little facial expression and limited movement.
@@Tippotipo Azog being cgi had no continuity with the orcs we were used to from the LOTR series, which made him look to me like he was painted on top of scenes. I really would have rather they kept the continuity instead of caring about facial expressions for a one-dimensional character like Azog.
Nah. He looked good. Stop the mindless hate
@@zh7334 It's RECKLESS hate. What can men do against such RECKLESS hate.
@@bridgecross that was a good reference. Well done.
Azog got hands on with the new total war during the five armies
if you pause at 1:01 Bolg is pretty much bigger than Azog but when they stand next to each other Azog is looking down on him kek
Of course. Azog was slouching.
Interesting details in the scene between Yazneg and Azog. The white warg communicated to the other locking exit for these orcs. The latter were fucked should they try to escape.
Haha true ;)

I love how every Uruk-hai and Orcs in The Hobbit now speaks in Black Speech rather plain English in LOTR films
The Blackspeech is cool but it can be a little easier to enjoy their dialogue when you can understand it. One of the good orc scenes the Hobbit movies had was when that guy Narzug who speaks briefly at 0:45 is being interrogated by elves and has to speak English. You get a better sense of that orc-y sneer
Yeah, I also liked it. It is something what fits with Tolkien's world
Azog is such the brutal defiler.
j'aime tout ce que vous faites
I didn't know azog have an album. Is he play guitar or what?
Why wasn’t the Azog workout regime published in men’s health?
Kill a thousand dwarves, tame the biggest, meanest wargs in the land, and live in the deepest forests only camping in the oldest ruins.
Tip: Get your arm chopped off in battle by a prince and get a bladed club to be your new hand.
Azog, the Champion of Capua
Azog has to be the sexiest Orc in Middle-earth.
