Such a good comment though when you think about the many people who ask (about the lotr trilogy) "why didn't the hobbits just fly eagles to mount doom?" But maybe the eagles don't want to fly themselves into literally the worst and most dangerous place on earth with flying wraith-monsters everywhere, lol - not to mention getting spotted more easily in the sky
So, this isn't depicted in the movies (not even in the extended editions) but rather in the deleted scenes, but the reason why there is animosity between the elves of Mirkwood and the dwarves of Erebor is because the jewels that the elf king, Thranduil, had brought them were his beloved wife's after she had died. He had asked for their help in restoring the jewels but the dwarf king, Thror, was thought to have been so proud of the accomplishment that he wanted to keep them instead. So, Thranduil, angered by this action, cut all ties with the dwarves.
1:20:26 Chi asks the question that people troll criticize the Lord of the rings/Hobbit movies over. 😂 “Why didn’t the Eagles fly them where they needed to go?” The answer is: the Eagles don’t interfere in the wars of Middle Earth. They’re not air taxis and are also a very proud race and even though it was never shown in the movies they were capable of speech and only help Gandalf as a favor for saving their Eagle chieftain before the events of The Hobbit. The Eagles also did not trust the other races of Middle Earth, particularly Men, who would shoot arrows at them for stealing livestock.
Having the Eagles, who are possibly the last of their kind, fly into Mordor would be a horrible idea. In a best case scenario, they would still be sacrificing their lives to destroy the ring, & in a worst case scenario, they would all die just to deliver it to Sauron. Having the Eagles just do a flyover Mordor makes about as much sense as sending Ents to attack the Black Gate. Like, it might work, but more likely they would be dying for nothing
@@SurvivorBri Yes, I would not want to be on the back of an eagle turing a snow storm or worse. In the first LOTR movie they point out that they need to be stealthy that's why there are only nine people in the fallowship who are all on food instead of horse back.
Small addition: Also the eagle who helps Gandalf to escape after Saruman's betrayal is the eagle chieftain himself who is just passing by. If I remember right him and the other eagles are send to the battle by the god Manwe himself so the heros ahd to earn that. The eagles in the Hobbit are not the same they are distant desendance and in the book they only help out because they are living close by and don't like orks. They are not summoned by Gandalf or sent by Galadriel. Also the Wargs are differnt too. They are a species with there own language. They would fight on the side of evil especially in the Hobbit but the orks would not ride on them.
Saying the Eagles didn't interfere in the affairs of Middle Earth is the same excuse the Elves give. Except that just like the Elves, the Eagles would either be dominated or destroyed by Sauron if he was allowed to obtain the ring. His entire goal was to "dominate all life". The wars of Middle Earth very much concerned the Eagles, whether they thought so or not. They also could have flown into Mordor under the cover of night or rain clouds and been in and out of the mountain before anyone had time to react.
I know a lot of people dislike The Hobbit movies and while they have their faults, I've always found them to be fun watches. Especially the first two. I do like the 3rd one I just haven't watched it as many times as the first two. I hope you enjoy your return to Middle Earth and am also happy you're continuing!
I watch them when they come on tv and I notice they always show the first two films and not the third. While for LotR they often show the second and third films but not the first
I’ve always enjoyed them. Although they probably could have been condensed into two movies, I think they strike a decent balance between fitting with the style of the LotR movies and being lighter, more child oriented as the book.
At the time of The Hobbit, Saruman had not yet completely fallen into evil. But he was secretly working against Gandalf and the Council of the Wise. He wanted to distract them and convince them that Sauron and the Ring were not a threat. But in reality he was already searching for the Ring for himself. He wanted to become the new master of Middle Earth. Later, when Sauron became stronger, he changed his plan and (probably reluctantly) joined Sauron. It was important that Bilbo spared Gollum. If he had not done that and killed for the Ring, the Ring would have corrupted Bilbo just as he corrupted Sméagol. Wonderful reaction ladies, keep up the good work.💜
33:27 these three trolls were in the the lord of the rings, after Frodo got stabbed on hilltop, they were waiting for Aragorn to return with medicine, and Sam says "Look Frodo, Bilbo's Trolls" he pointed to the stone statues that they had turned into. i'm glad you have returned to Middle Earth and contiued your journey! another great reaction! 👍
Something you should understand: the dwarves and elves have a long history of animosity and even war between them, atrocities by the dwarves against elves and vice versa. They are not prone to help each other because of the long history of animosity, though there were occasionally exceptions.
"In a hole in the ground, there lived a Hobbit." The line that started it all in the early 1930s, when Tolkien wrote it on the back of a student's term paper.
Being called a Hobbit is a compliment! May be because you're short, but Hobbits are peaceful, polite, nice also loyal and quite brave when it's called for. All in all, very good people to be compared to.
1:12:05 In The Fellowship of the Ring, when Gandalf talks to Frodo about the pity that held Bilbo's hand...well it was referring to this scene. When Bilbo looked into Gollum's sad eyes.
Thorin to Bilbo: "He's been lost ever since he left home. He should never have come😒" Hella: WHHHAAAAT😡 DONT SAY THAT👊 IT HURTS🙀 Ti: What kind of prince says that to the people🧐😟 I love the hobbit passion❤😂😂
Do you recognise the sword Bilbo got from the troll hoard? It's Sting, he gives it to Frodo in Rivendell and then Frodo carries it on his journey to Mordor.
Radagast is my favourite wizard. Misunderstood, underestimated, but also by evil, so he finds things that evil doesn't expect him to find. But he was a recluse and drifted away never to be seen again after this story. Not even Gandulf knew where he disappeared to. He may have even left Middle Earth altogether.
Goblins are a subrace of orcs in LOTR. Usually in fantasy they are some of the weakest of the monster foes, that can still be dangerous in large groups. In Pathfinder and D&D, goblins belong to the subgroup of creatures called goblinoids, which also includes hobgoblins(bigger, smarter and stronger cousins, about the size of orcs) and bugbears (large hairy goblinoids, who somewhat resemble twisted humanoid bear/hobgoblin hybrids).
I thought one of the hallmarks of goblin kind is their cunning craftsmanship for war and torture. They are not large nor strong enough to hold by themselves but they compensate with wit and numbers. They are the makers of siege machines and torture devices. Or at least that's what I recall but my memory is fading
Girls, the Dwarfs ate all Bilbo's food because he was supposed to go with them on the quest and the food would spoil with no one to eat it. Love you Munchies!!
I like how you asked one of the most common questions - why don't the eagles help right from the beginning? There actually is an answer. Basically, the eagles are very intelligent and have their own things going on, and most of the time when they show up its as a favor for Gandalf. In regards to Lord of the Rings though, the idea of flying Frodo and the ring straight into Mordor would be a bad one because Sauron would have literally seen it coming and dispatched the Nazgul with their flying beasts
Just remember Gimli, son of Gloin. Seven rings for the Dwarf lords...Seven dwarven kingdoms. A Necromancer is an evil wizard, one with powers over the dead.
This was one of the last films I saw in theaters in 2012 with my cousin and what an experience. The battle in the Goblin's lair was intense and the King's final words morbidly funny. What a new years eve it was, to this day we remember it fondly.
You remember I differently than I do. I couldn't wait for it to be over. I saw the other two on streaming years later. Glad I didn't spend money to sit through that garbage.
So glad that you girls are continuing on with this movie series 😃 This is actually the prequel to the Lord of the Rings stories. Will definitely enjoy being here to watch it with you, see your reactions, and listen to your thoughts about it ❤❤
7:10 "Is that, like, precious? Spoons?" In modern English (at least in the U.S.), the word "silverware" may be used to refer to any eating utensils. However, historically, the word was quite literal. Metal eating and serving utensils were often made from or coated with silver. Since silver is a precious metal, sets of those eating and serving utensils could be quite valuable, so the theft of all the spoons could be quite substantial! (There's a related term -- "born with a silver spoon in your mouth" -- which means someone was born into a wealthy family.)
the small sword that they find in the troll's caves that Gandalf gives Bilbo, is "sting". It is the same sword that later on , in the lord of the Rings, bilbo gives to Frodo. The necromancer is Saoron's spirit gaining force and recovering after being defeated by Isildur, before he is strong enough to go search for the ring. Dol Guldur is one of Sauron's old fortress. The blade that Radagast gives them, from Dol Guldur, was the blade from the which King from LotR, it was buried inside the sealed tomb, the fact that they find it outside, means that the tomb has been opened...I hope that helps to clarify some little things here and there! :)
@@Catherine.Dorian. The thing with the food is a Jacksonism, one of many many things he greatly altered in Tolkien's narrative. In the books the food of the Grey Elves is exceptional, especially Elrond's table. Do you really think Bilbo would've stayed there all those years if the food was subpar?
There is a place like this on earth. A place so magical and Devine. Yes, my friends, it's called the American West, and when I say American, I mean Canada too. Just the western parts
"And I said to myself there is one who I could follow: there is one I could call, 'King.'" - That is the line that has stuck with me the most from this series.
5:42 It was not only because the dwarves kept the jewels for themselves it was also because Thranduil knew that a battle against a dragon of that size was almost impossible to win and would cost too many of his men's lives.
50:00 Saruman is opposing Gandalf because he's already decided that he wants the ring. In truth hes jealous of Gandalf, and he resents him. Gandalf was chosen by the Valar to be the leader of the Istari but he didn't want the position. The reason why he was chosen was not because of his power. He is a Maiar spirit so has incredible powers, but whats significant about him and the reason why he was originally chosen was because of his wisdom.
After you finish watching the three Hobbit movies, you two absolutely MUST continue this with The Rings of Power show Season 1. Season 2 hasn't come out yet, so you'll be all caught up after that. The show is about the creation of the rings, including the One Ring that the dark lord forged. The contents are from the book The Silmarillion, which preceded The Hobbit book.
Wow already starting out on our next adventure young Chi 💖 Hella 💕 I don't remember much from the first part so it would be fun to watch again thx. 🇬🇧🌸😻🇻🇳
Wow, as always, you girls are so beautiful & entertaining! Chi provides her very unique analysis and Hella is so expressive, compassionate & adorable in her reactions! Also, NO other site's reaction videos provide as much fun as you two do together!! 💯❤❤
In this case, yes. In more broad case, it is a "Nordic Rune". I will try to explain it briefly here for anyone that is not familiar with this type of things. Nordic runes were similar to Alphabet to old Scandinavians (Northern Europeans) in early middle ages (and maybe even before). Think Vikings, but that is very simplified explanation :) In modern fantasy (and in Tolkien), runes are usually associated with dwarves, as is their language (Irish/Scottish/Nordic), mainly because of the Scandinavian mythology that had lot of Dwarven references in it (For example they made the leash for Fenris, or the Odin's spear Gungnir). In Middle Earth, runes are practically letters of Dwarven language. EDIT: Someone said it is elvish rune in Tolkien. It might be, I am not that knowledgeable, but the overall theme with Dwarves and runes still fits, both for Fantasy and Games.
In this case, I believe it was said in the book to be a rune meaning "A burglar for hire lives here", though it has been many years since I read it last, so I may misremember it.
The dwarves use runes for their writing. The letter that Gandalf puts on Bilbo's door is the letter "G" (G for Gandalf) In the books, there is a complete list of letters for the dwarven alphabet.
Tolkien was a linguist. The elves had a different set of symbols for their two languages. Black speech was based on elvish and can be seen on the One ring. Dwarves had their own alphabet for their language (which Tolkien based on Nordic runes)
Balin, the dwarf with the white beard, his grave was in Moria in Fellowship of the Ring, he was Gimlis cousin, who was killed by orcs. Also another one of the dwarves named Gloin is Gimlis father.
Here's some more movies to do reactions to. -The 40 Year Old Virgin -Ace Ventura When Nature Calls -American Pie (Unrated) -Charlie's Angels (2000) -Moana -American Pie 2 (Unrated) -Major Payne -Dr Seuss How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) -Sonic The Hedgehog -Iron Man
As a leader, two things are important to Thorin, his Quest and the safety of his men. The presence of Bilbo threatens both of these. You have to admit that Bilbo is a bit of an idiot, first when he lets himself be captured by the Trolls and Thorin has to throw down his sword so that Bilbo won't be pulled apart and then when he falls over the edge of the cliff and Thorin has to risk his life to save him. Don't forget those two moments - it isn't all about Bilbo saving Thorin.
40:59 It's explained better in the books, but there are two magical realms: Rivendell, maintained by the elf Elrond; and, Lothlorien, maintained by Galadriel. They each bear one of the three elven rings which gives them the power to maintain and sustain their realms in perfect beauty and sanctity without spoil from any evil influences. Think of the contrast shown in the influence that the tower of Dol Guldur has over its surroundings in Mirkwood, or, later, that the tower of Barad-dûr has over Mordor, to see the concept. 45:40 Before the Saxons were conquered by Charlemange and England was conquered by William and the Norse were converted to Catholicism, and the Latin alphabet made the standard in which all western European languages would be written, the northern Germans wrote their languages using a type of script called Runic. So, Tolkien created his own type of writing system for the Dwarves that he called Dwarf runes. And Moon Runes are a type of magical Dwarvish writing that can only be seen by the light of the moon and only at certain times.
"The Hobbit" was a children's story that J.R.R. Tolkien wrote to entertain his kids before the start of World War II. The story just came to him because he wrote the first line of the book ""In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit" absentmindedly on a scrap of paper. He literally said the word hobbit just popped into his head and he thought what is a hobbit? What would a hobbit do? From that humble beginning he elaborated on what type of folk Hobbits were and introduced us to the polite, (mostly) cheerful, but secretly capable & adventurous Bilbo Baggins. He was able to bring in Dwarves, Elves and Orcs and other magical creatures/characters into the story. The fairly short book was a pretty big success when released. The film version has that childern's story plus a number of histories/scenes from the Appendices of "The Lord of the Rings" that made it possible to flesh it out into a trilogy. More films = More $$$. Tolkien had been writing a massive made up history about Middle Earth with Elves, Dwarves, Men, Orcs, etc. for many years starting at the end of World War I. He wrote this story mainly because he was busy inventing the languages/alphabets of the different races which fascinated him as a professor of Philology at Oxford. However, he hadn't thought of Hobbits until he wrote his successful children's story. In the 1950s, his publisher asked him if he had any other Hobbit stories, so Tolkien switched attention from his massive world building epic and created the more manageable high fantasy story of "The Lord of the Rings" which was set in the Third Age of Middle Earth. It's popularity started out somewhat slowly, but by the 1960s it became even more famous especially when paperback editions were published. Many students of the time wore buttons with the phrase "Frodo Lives" and loved discussing the books with their friends and re-reading them. Some even wrote Professor Tolkien which I bet cut into his writing/free time since he answered a lot of correspondence, being the gentleman he was. He never published his "Complete History of Middle Earth" before he died. His eldest son, Christopher took over all the many variations of the stories he had been writing, editing/re-writing since 1917 and edited together "The Silmarillion". That book covers the creation of of the world by Eru and his angels, the Valar. It spans the 1st - 3rd Ages (up to the point "The Lord of Rings" started). It is sort of a combination of a Myth and History book and you learn how the Elves were created first, then followed by the Dwarves and Men, and the rebellion of one of the Valar, Melkor, who is similar to Lucifer/Satan in the Bible, and the evil he (and later his lieutenant Sauron) brought and spread to the world.
Now you will see the story of Frodo's uncle. Also the old dwarf with the white beard(Balin) was one of the casualties in Moria that Gimli cried for. And the red haired dwarf Gloin is Gimli's father. Also In nordic folklore trolls turn to stone when hit by sunlight. Which is why that happened.

one particular thing is that Wargs (the wolf-like creatures used by orcs as mounts) are very intelligent creatures. can speak the black language of Mordor as well as have their own language.
The eagles knew who to take because they're not just birds but thinking, talking creatures forming their own kingdom in Middle Earth, like the elves and dwarves, and they know dwarves from goblins/orcs. They have a king who is great friends with Gandalf, and in the book they hold conversations. They probably left this aspect of them out of the movies because big talking birds might have seemed silly. This also explains questions some people always ask about the eagles, like why they don't fly the dwarves all the way to the Lonely Mountain, and why they don't fly Frodo and the ring to Mount Doom. They're happy to help Gandalf out in an emergency, but they're not horses and don't just take orders. They let the dwarves stay in their high peaks and even gave them food so they could recuperate from their ordeal with the goblins, but that was the extent of their generosity. They would not risk their people flying dwarves cross-country, and of course if they flew to Mordor there would be no secrecy and they would have been shot down before they got halfway to Mount Doom.
A lot of people complain about the Hobbit trilogy but I feel it's a pretty good adaptation of the book. Even if they really could've, and should've, cut it down to two movies. That said it's far superior to Rings of Power.
Throwing this movie recommendation out there because another comment made me think of it: The Great Mouse Detective That movie was such a big part of my childhood ❤
I know people tend to not like this movie as much but I think it does a good job of capturing the spirit of the book. It's a sort of silly fairy tale you'd here from your grandpa at bedtime.
In Tolkien's lore, Dragons are attracted to gold and wealth because it represents power, they take the power for themselves because dragons are the most powerful creatures.
I know that this movie came out after the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but the book, The Hobbit, was published first. Also, it's only one book, while the Lord of the Rings is 3 books. It was surprising when they decided to make 3 movies out of The Hobbit. The book isn't as long as any of the LotR books.
the eagles fly away
Hella - "they only work part time". i laughed way to hard at that....lmao
“They just work part-time” is the absolute funniest thing I’ve ever heard from Hela and she says a lot of funny things😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 1:22:01

Goblins are a subrace of orcs in LOTR. Usually in fantasy they are some of the weakest of the monster foes, that can still be dangerous in large groups.
In Pathfinder and D&D, goblins belong to the subgroup of creatures called goblinoids, which also includes hobgoblins(bigger, smarter and stronger cousins, about the size of orcs) and bugbears (large hairy goblinoids, who somewhat resemble twisted humanoid bear/hobgoblin hybrids).
I thought one of the hallmarks of goblin kind is their cunning craftsmanship for war and torture. They are not large nor strong enough to hold by themselves but they compensate with wit and numbers. They are the makers of siege machines and torture devices.

Silverware is pretty but silver tarnishes and is a pain in the neck to keep shiny. I'm glad to use stainless steel instead!
@@ronbo11 There's a reason servants in wealthy households in period films and television are often seen polishing the silver!
the small sword that they find in the troll's caves that Gandalf gives Bilbo, is "sting". It is the same sword that later on , in the lord of the Rings, bilbo gives to Frodo. The necromancer is Saoron's spirit gaining force and recovering after being defeated by Isildur, before he is strong enough to go search for the ring. Dol Guldur is one of Sauron's old fortress. The blade that Radagast gives them, from Dol Guldur, was the blade from the which King from LotR, it was buried inside the sealed tomb, the fact that they find it outside, means that the tomb has been opened...I hope that helps to clarify some little things here and there! :)
@@jeffburnham6611 The blade didn't vanished because of Aragorn holding it but because Frodo was stebbed with it.
You are no Hobbit Hella, you are an elven princess.
Hobbits have better food, don’t curse her with the elven food
@@Catherine.Dorian. The thing with the food is a Jacksonism, one of many many things he greatly altered in Tolkien's narrative. In the books the food of the Grey Elves is exceptional, especially Elrond's table. Do you really think Bilbo would've stayed there all those years if the food was subpar?
@@EugeneLorey rofl that’s a great point! Then yeah, elven princess is the answer of the food is good!
There is a place like this on earth. A place so magical and Devine. Yes, my friends, it's called the American West, and when I say American, I mean Canada too. Just the western parts
" They should pick him up too right? .........................and then drop him.................somwhere rocky" Awesome !!!
Fun fact: This is the same Balin in this group from Balin's Tomb in the Fellowship of the Ring.
Hella is my favorite Hobbit
"And I said to myself there is one who I could follow: there is one I could call, 'King.'" - That is the line that has stuck with me the most from this series.
5:42 It was not only because the dwarves kept the jewels for themselves it was also because Thranduil knew that a battle against a dragon of that size was almost impossible to win and would cost too many of his men's lives.
50:00 Saruman is opposing Gandalf because he's already decided that he wants the ring. In truth hes jealous of Gandalf, and he resents him. Gandalf was chosen by the Valar to be the leader of the Istari but he didn't want the position. The reason why he was chosen was not because of his power. He is a Maiar spirit so has incredible powers, but whats significant about him and the reason why he was originally chosen was because of his wisdom.
This is the first video I watched reactors watching The Hobbit extended version. Thank you, ladies
It was fun living in New Zealand during the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Also, you girls look stunning!
Love you guys, its been a great journey watching these with you
After you finish watching the three Hobbit movies, you two absolutely MUST continue this with The Rings of Power show Season 1. Season 2 hasn't come out yet, so you'll be all caught up after that. The show is about the creation of the rings, including the One Ring that the dark lord forged. The contents are from the book The Silmarillion, which preceded The Hobbit book.
Lord of the Rings Appendices, not the Silmarillion. Hence why it is struggling and making stuff up.
Wow already starting out on our next adventure young Chi 💖 Hella 💕
I don't remember much from the first part so it would be fun to watch again thx.
🇬🇧🌸😻🇻🇳
Wow, as always, you girls are so beautiful & entertaining! Chi provides her very unique analysis and Hella is so expressive, compassionate & adorable in her reactions! Also, NO other site's reaction videos provide as much fun as you two do together!! 💯❤❤
The rune on the door is basically a signal for the dwarves that means "Hey this is the place to meet at and food"
In this case, yes. In more broad case, it is a "Nordic Rune". I will try to explain it briefly here for anyone that is not familiar with this type of things.
Nordic runes were similar to Alphabet to old Scandinavians (Northern Europeans) in early middle ages (and maybe even before). Think Vikings, but that is very simplified explanation :)
In modern fantasy (and in Tolkien), runes are usually associated with dwarves, as is their language (Irish/Scottish/Nordic), mainly because of the Scandinavian mythology that had lot of Dwarven references in it (For example they made the leash for Fenris, or the Odin's spear Gungnir). In Middle Earth, runes are practically letters of Dwarven language.
EDIT: Someone said it is elvish rune in Tolkien. It might be, I am not that knowledgeable, but the overall theme with Dwarves and runes still fits, both for Fantasy and Games.
@johandark5736 Yeah I was gonna explain what Nordic rune it was but I got confused and forgot. Think it was the Fehu rune letter? Or Ansuz
In this case, I believe it was said in the book to be a rune meaning "A burglar for hire lives here", though it has been many years since I read it last, so I may misremember it.
The dwarves use runes for their writing. The letter that Gandalf puts on Bilbo's door is the letter "G" (G for Gandalf)
In the books, there is a complete list of letters for the dwarven alphabet.
Tolkien was a linguist. The elves had a different set of symbols for their two languages. Black speech was based on elvish and can be seen on the One ring. Dwarves had their own alphabet for their language (which Tolkien based on Nordic runes)
Balin, the dwarf with the white beard, his grave was in Moria in Fellowship of the Ring, he was Gimlis cousin, who was killed by orcs. Also another one of the dwarves named Gloin is Gimlis father.
What is this horrid creature you speak of? Some sort of goblin mutant?
And the corps with the book in it'shand is Ori the blond dwarf, who is the youngest (and who pointed out he dosn't like green food).
23:37 Thoren Oakenshield cuts off Azog's arm... "The head, too!" commanded Hella who is now bloodthirsty after watching GoT and LOTR.
Here's some more movies to do reactions to.
-The 40 Year Old Virgin
-Ace Ventura When Nature Calls
-American Pie (Unrated)
-Charlie's Angels (2000)
-Moana
-American Pie 2 (Unrated)
-Major Payne
-Dr Seuss How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
-Sonic The Hedgehog
-Iron Man
Don't forget the Cably Guy. They're gonna be awkward seeing Jim Carrey in a weird yet freaky comedy way, almost borderline dark comedy!
DOn't forget Cable Guy. Jim Carrey's dark comedy character will probably make them go "WTF, I can't believe this is the same funny man we love!"
As a leader, two things are important to Thorin, his Quest and the safety of his men. The presence of Bilbo threatens both of these. You have to admit that Bilbo is a bit of an idiot, first when he lets himself be captured by the Trolls and Thorin has to throw down his sword so that Bilbo won't be pulled apart and then when he falls over the edge of the cliff and Thorin has to risk his life to save him. Don't forget those two moments - it isn't all about Bilbo saving Thorin.
Very nice reaction! I enjoyed that cheers!
37:26 : not really a wolf, but a warg
Munchies, "Oh, he has a, chicken hand."😂😂. You're a cute hobbit, hela.
"The eagles work part-time". There's a pearl in every single reaction video of yours :)) Thanks for the laughs!
"He has diabetes" The Goblin King probably does😂
Best morning for me ever! I was hoping you would move onto the hobbit next I love this!
I've literally been brainwashed into calling our lovely wizard "Grandalf" bc of this channel instead because he basically is our grandpa lmao
clippers Hella " more head" 😅😂🤣
I like when Hella gets spicy talking about thorin just wait Hella ✌🏻🙌🏻 you will get thêm cay later 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🔥🥵
40:59 It's explained better in the books, but there are two magical realms: Rivendell, maintained by the elf Elrond; and, Lothlorien, maintained by Galadriel. They each bear one of the three elven rings which gives them the power to maintain and sustain their realms in perfect beauty and sanctity without spoil from any evil influences. Think of the contrast shown in the influence that the tower of Dol Guldur has over its surroundings in Mirkwood, or, later, that the tower of Barad-dûr has over Mordor, to see the concept.
45:40 Before the Saxons were conquered by Charlemange and England was conquered by William and the Norse were converted to Catholicism, and the Latin alphabet made the standard in which all western European languages would be written, the northern Germans wrote their languages using a type of script called Runic. So, Tolkien created his own type of writing system for the Dwarves that he called Dwarf runes. And Moon Runes are a type of magical Dwarvish writing that can only be seen by the light of the moon and only at certain times.
Thank you for a great reaction to a wonderful series of movies, I look forward to the next ones!
"The Hobbit" was a children's story that J.R.R. Tolkien wrote to entertain his kids before the start of World War II. The story just came to him because he wrote the first line of the book ""In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit" absentmindedly on a scrap of paper. He literally said the word hobbit just popped into his head and he thought what is a hobbit? What would a hobbit do? From that humble beginning he elaborated on what type of folk Hobbits were and introduced us to the polite, (mostly) cheerful, but secretly capable & adventurous Bilbo Baggins. He was able to bring in Dwarves, Elves and Orcs and other magical creatures/characters into the story. The fairly short book was a pretty big success when released. The film version has that childern's story plus a number of histories/scenes from the Appendices of "The Lord of the Rings" that made it possible to flesh it out into a trilogy. More films = More $$$.
Tolkien had been writing a massive made up history about Middle Earth with Elves, Dwarves, Men, Orcs, etc. for many years starting at the end of World War I. He wrote this story mainly because he was busy inventing the languages/alphabets of the different races which fascinated him as a professor of Philology at Oxford. However, he hadn't thought of Hobbits until he wrote his successful children's story.
In the 1950s, his publisher asked him if he had any other Hobbit stories, so Tolkien switched attention from his massive world building epic and created the more manageable high fantasy story of "The Lord of the Rings" which was set in the Third Age of Middle Earth. It's popularity started out somewhat slowly, but by the 1960s it became even more famous especially when paperback editions were published. Many students of the time wore buttons with the phrase "Frodo Lives" and loved discussing the books with their friends and re-reading them. Some even wrote Professor Tolkien which I bet cut into his writing/free time since he answered a lot of correspondence, being the gentleman he was.
He never published his "Complete History of Middle Earth" before he died. His eldest son, Christopher took over all the many variations of the stories he had been writing, editing/re-writing since 1917 and edited together "The Silmarillion". That book covers the creation of of the world by Eru and his angels, the Valar. It spans the 1st - 3rd Ages (up to the point "The Lord of Rings" started). It is sort of a combination of a Myth and History book and you learn how the Elves were created first, then followed by the Dwarves and Men, and the rebellion of one of the Valar, Melkor, who is similar to Lucifer/Satan in the Bible, and the evil he (and later his lieutenant Sauron) brought and spread to the world.
I just finished watching your other videos. You guys are always dressed so nicely!
24:41 Orcs called the dwarves scum... "You look really like scum!" - countered Hella.
39:05 An orc shouts, "The dwarf scum is over there."
"You scum, why you keep saying dwarf scum." - added Chi.
Such a pleasure to watch your reaction watching from Canada
The mark on the door is a G for Gandalf in elvish.
Another person used to be called king hobbit at their school
Hella is Hella beautiful
The mark that Gandalf left on Bilbo's door was the "G" rune, for Gandalf.
1:19:12 The Great Eagles of Midde Earth aren't just animals. They're sentient beings, they actually speak in the books.
Now you will see the story of Frodo's uncle. Also the old dwarf with the white beard(Balin) was one of the casualties in Moria that Gimli cried for. And the red haired dwarf Gloin is Gimli's father. Also In nordic folklore trolls turn to stone when hit by sunlight. Which is why that happened.
Trilogy The Hobbit Extended Edition Of The Adventures of Bilbo Baggin:
(1) An Unexpected Journey Extended Edition
(2) The Desolation Of Smaug Extended Edition
(3) The Battle Five Armie Extended Edition
Thanks for continuing on with The Hobbit movies. It gives you more of the Middle Earth world along with some backstories and character development
one particular thing is that Wargs (the wolf-like creatures used by orcs as mounts) are very intelligent creatures. can speak the black language of Mordor as well as have their own language.
@1:02:45 Bilbo's sword Sting went dark bcos the goblin has just been killed by Gollum 😂. The sword glows blue when orcs or goblins are nearby
Oh!! Yay!! Yay!! Movie Munchies is taking us on a new adventure! What a pleasant surprise!! This will be a ride!!
36:29 the witch king of Angmar i presume...
The eagles knew who to take because they're not just birds but thinking, talking creatures forming their own kingdom in Middle Earth, like the elves and dwarves, and they know dwarves from goblins/orcs. They have a king who is great friends with Gandalf, and in the book they hold conversations. They probably left this aspect of them out of the movies because big talking birds might have seemed silly.
This also explains questions some people always ask about the eagles, like why they don't fly the dwarves all the way to the Lonely Mountain, and why they don't fly Frodo and the ring to Mount Doom. They're happy to help Gandalf out in an emergency, but they're not horses and don't just take orders. They let the dwarves stay in their high peaks and even gave them food so they could recuperate from their ordeal with the goblins, but that was the extent of their generosity. They would not risk their people flying dwarves cross-country, and of course if they flew to Mordor there would be no secrecy and they would have been shot down before they got halfway to Mount Doom.
This makes me hungry. I've never met a lady from South East Asia who isn't always ready to eat 😅
A lot of people complain about the Hobbit trilogy but I feel it's a pretty good adaptation of the book. Even if they really could've, and should've, cut it down to two movies.
That said it's far superior to Rings of Power.
I clicked so fast when I saw they were continuing with these movies 😊 Awesome reaction vid!
That's not an "F" that Gandalf draws on Bilbo's door, it's the rune for "G".
What a surprise to have Movie Munchies today. Thanks for making my day better.
The three trolls that turned to stone were in the first Lord of the Rings movie. Frodo and friends passed by there.
Throwing this movie recommendation out there because another comment made me think of it: The Great Mouse Detective
That movie was such a big part of my childhood ❤
What’s ironic is that Smaug is one of the smaller dragons in the series
I know people tend to not like this movie as much but I think it does a good job of capturing the spirit of the book. It's a sort of silly fairy tale you'd here from your grandpa at bedtime.
Hella, if you are a hobbit, please just let me be your favorite elf 🤣🤣🤣. Great reaction from both of you, as always. Greetings from Germany.
In Tolkien's lore, Dragons are attracted to gold and wealth because it represents power, they take the power for themselves because dragons are the most powerful creatures.
Great reaction, guys!
Thank you.
I know that this movie came out after the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but the book, The Hobbit, was published first. Also, it's only one book, while the Lord of the Rings is 3 books. It was surprising when they decided to make 3 movies out of The Hobbit. The book isn't as long as any of the LotR books.
