"It's just because Frodo's really weak at the moment."
Thank you for saying it that way. People give Frodo so much shit for the way he acts in this movie, but with everything that's going on with him, he's really amazing for holding out against the corruption this long
Wait really? That's a thing? Anyone else would have folded by now especially with Sauron and the Nazguls looking so intently for ring all this while.
And the ring grows stronger the closer they get to Mordor (and Sauron) as well.
Yep, that's the problem with Frodo's role in the movie - people see Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, even the other Hobbits fight and ride a´nd do "cool action" stuff - but Frodo carries the damn ring, and probably nobody else, including Sam, might have gone the whole way...
I always took Frodo sending Sam away as having less to do with mistrust and more as an act of protecting Sam from the ring.
@@barkingmonkee That's a much nicer interpretation. I never really took it that way, but I like it.
Fun fact: If it hasn’t already been mentioned, just got to the part where you two see Eowyn pick up Merry and ride with the Rohirrim to Gondor. Most of the horse riders in Lotr are actually women as there aren’t too many professional male horse riders in New Zealand in comparison to the women riders, so in the Rohirrim, majority of the “male” riders are actually women in beards
True, that’s absolutely true. It’s in the outtakes.
That's why you can't see bearded women around any more, they all went to New Zealand!
thats hilarious.
That's awesome lol
Yep that sounds like new Zealand to me everybody here knows at least one "Horse Lady" lol they are usually very chill peeps... usually 🙄
There is legit an answer for everything in Tolkien. It's that deep and detailed. To wit: Gandalf's light isn't just sunlight--it's The Light, the "secret flame," as he says in Fellowship, of Illuvatar, the god/creator of Tolkien's universe. Gandalf is pretty much the equivalent of an angel in that universe.
And he have the ring of fire narya he used it with his power
extra note: In the book the light comes from his upraised hand.
Akchually there's alot of facts we don't know, like who or what Tom Bombadil is, or what Sauron was doing after Morgoth's death, or did he create Mordor into a wasteland or was it always like that?
@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 there is an answer to both of those actually, they may not be in books but there are videos on a UA-cam channel I don't quite remember the name of right now that explains the entirety of what happens before, during and after and all the people in the LOTR lore
He’s a Maia of the Istari order and his name is Olorin. Men call him Gandalf, elves call him Mithrandir, and dwarves call him Tharkûn.
There are people who complain that in LOTR, Wizards don't seem to do that many impressive magic feats. But Tolkien's idea is that these emissars from the western spirits would only guide and counsel men and elves to fight themselves against evil. Gandalf only really uses magic when fighting agains other supernatural entities, and usually is in the form of light, a kind of spiritual power opposed to throwing flames and calling storms like Saruman. It is also revealed in the books that Gandalf's greatest power was actually to inspire and give courage to people, enhanced by one of the three elven rings told of at the beginning of the story, which he received when arriving to Middle Earth in the grey havens from one of the oldest elves alive, Cirdan. Galadriel and Elrond have the other two. This is not a spoiler because it's never shown in the films.
What I don't understand is if Sauron had the master ring, why didn't that control all the ring wearers, not just the humans? Why weren't the dwarves and elves corrupted and dominated as well? Plus, does the mere existence of the master ring mean the other ring wearers are susceptible to corruption, such that simply wearing them as Gandalf et al do puts them at risk? Since Sauron made all the rings, they should all be corrupted to an extent, seems to me.
@@Aeroldoth3 The thing is that the 3 elven rings were not made by Sauron, they were made at the same time but without the participation of Anatar, the lord of gifts as Sauron called himself back then. Some elves already doubted of his real nature and identity. If I remember correctly, still the rings could not be used when Sauron was wearing the one ring, but as long as he continued to be without it and without physical form, Galadriel and the others could use the three rings for their original purpose, the preservation of life, the enhancement of craft and beauty, and the protection of their realms. As for dwarves they are kinda neutral beings very connected to the earth. They are not particularly of the light but they are not easily taken by the shadow. They quickly realized the deceit and mostly took off the rings. Only the kings of men let themselves be corrupted by them.
@@Smoug I read the books decades ago, but IIRC the movies say in the beginning that Sauron forged the rings, meaning they should have all been bad to some extent. Even if the other rings were "safe" and the master ring was just using backdoor admin privileges to control them, I'd still think there'd be danger... especially to Gandalf going up against Sauron.
Just seems like an unnecessary risk. "Well, Sauron is only 16% restored, so I'll keep wearing this ring until he's at 49%."
@@Aeroldoth3 The thing is the rings were made with the craft Sauron thought the elves at Eregion, but the three rings were made without his knowledge, after he was gone. So they were never tuched or tainted by him. They couldnt be worn while Sauron was wearing the ring, but all the time it was lost, the three elven rings were used. Of course only high elves or maiars like Gandalf could have handled it.
Also, when the one ring was destroyed the elven ones lost their power and thats why Galadriel and Elrond had to leave, unable to preserve the elven realms anymore.
@@Smoug
Interesting, thanks!
I hate that everybody gives Eomer shit for not wanting his sister to go to war, a sister that never had any real battle experience. I get why people want to her to go fight, but he's right, she doesn't know what she's up to.
Also if you ever seen "Saving private Ryan" the feeling of that battle scene at the begining from the D-Day is what he means with the "blood and screams and horror's of battle.
Also he doesn't want his sister to die in battle.
@@theshadow7201 exacly. Also in the books I believe she is only 14-16 ears old, not like in the movie where she appears to be a grown woman
@@chrisheretic7 Eowyn was 23-24, born in TA 2995.
Ikr, I feel sad when people misunderstand that part, even as a kid I could get his point and I haven't even read the books to know this.
She was also supposed to be the leader of those who didn’t go to war
If Eomer and Theoden didn’t return she would be queen
When Eldrond gives Aragorn the reforged sword, Anduril, they both spoke to each other in Elvish.
"Onen i-estel edain, u-chebin estel anim", was what was said.
When Aragorn was only two years old, he moved to Rivendell to live with the Elves, including Elrond. There he was renamed Estel, which is Elvish for "Hope". The full line means "I give Hope to men, I keep no hope for myself.", which is something that Aragorn's mother told him before she had passed.
Arwen was already thousands of years old and changed baby Aragorn's diapers.
@@nathanberrigan9839 She wasn't there when he grew up, she was spending time elsewhere
The elf look really suits her....she's glowing
It's all the LED in her hairdo 😛
King Theoden knows he's riding to certain death... he simply wanted to give merry a chance to escape that fate.
"Great engines crawled across the field; and in the midst was a huge ram, great as a forest-tree a hundred feet in length, swinging on mighty chains. Long had it been forging in the dark smithies of Mordor, and its hideous head, founded of black steel, was shaped in the likeness of a ravening wolf; on it spells of ruin lay. Grond they named it, in memory of the Hammer of the Underworld of old. Great beasts drew it, orcs surrounded it, and behind walked mountain-trolls to wield it."
The Return of the King, "The Siege of Gondor"
Badass
So cool that this all has been created in one man’s mind.
FOR GRONDOR!!!
I forgot Grond was the name of Morgoth's hammer !
Grond ! Grond ! Grond !
Denethor was actually a decent Steward in the books. He made sure the people who couldn't fight were safe and he lit the beacons. He wore armour under his robes and carried a sword, always ready to fight Mordor. However he used a palantir (a seeing-stone like the one Saruman had) to probe Sauron's strength and ended up in a battle of wills with the enemy. Sauron couldn't make the stone lie but he could show Denethor what he wanted him to see. The Steward lost hope and went mad. He was a strong man but not strong enough to fight Sauron's spirit for as long as he did and not suffer any consequences. A couple of Denethor's lines in the movies make allusions to that but you will only catch that if you have read the books. One is when he says there is no victory against the power that has risen in the East and one about the eyes of the White Tower not being blind.
poor man honestly, not enough credits for him in the movies
@UTubeFekUrself yep.
@@royalecrafts6252 true. And people say Faramir got the short end of the stick
@@aflyonthewall8177 nah denetor had it waay harder, battling sauron is no joke, even the rightful king couldnt do it
@@royalecrafts6252 Yeah.
There's a lot of people who didn't get enough credit in the movies.
I'm not really a fan of the movies in that regard.
They wheren't really true to the story of LotR.
The books would probably have been better as a TV series or as more movies then just 3.
I wish more people saw the scene about "Merry and the war" the same way I do. In my eyes, it's a lot deeper than "hobbit small, no fight". It reflects what Tolkien was writing about in a sense. The horror's of war and why would anyone knowingly want to join such a travesty. I think the best example is when the character around the fire (can't remember the name) says that if Merry (and anyone in that matter) were to turn around and run away that would be the WISEST decision he would make. I don't think it was meant as an insult or even a slight on his physical stature. I think it was a seasoned soldier commenting on how no one should look forward to or want to be in a war. Although Tolkien did not like allegories being tied to his work, it is hard not to see his opinions and feeling on his time during the first world war and how it was an inspiration for a lot of the book.
Who the hell is "Mary"?
You mean Merry.. as in, short for his full name, Meriadoc.
@@Garryck-1 Cool, thanks.
@@Garryck-1 There are ways to offer correction that don't make the entire fandom look like petty assholes, dude (especially since autocorrect has been a thing for, like, decades). Maybe try one?
Hannah is the first person I've ever heard say that they feel for Denathor. Movie Denathor has like, no redeeming qualities. And book Denathor does not have very many. Lol. But I love and appreciate how hard you're trying to find the good in him
I mean in the context of middle earth, if you tried to combat sauron in a battle of wills it would not end very well for anyone.
And Ash is the first who liked Denethor’s juicy dinner
Haven’t seen anyone address this yet:
The Army of the Dead, like most of the undead things in Middle-Earth are dripping it negative energy. Their very touch can chill, paralyze, and often kill living things and most living things can sense that. That’s why the bugs ran out of the log and away from the Ringwraith when he was sniffing for the hobbits in the beginning of the first film.
Interesting. I thought his power was actually drawing the bugs out because they would be considered something foul or terrible like the Wraiths. I legit thought he was doing the same thing to the ring as Frodo would have put it on if not for Sam in that moment.
Great to know, thanks!
@@secondghost that is a common interpretation. In truth, I’m only repeating what I remember being told. As I remember Jackson explaining it in the extended edition special features, the idea is that the bugs are still part of the natural world, but the wraith is unnatural, which is to say it should not be possible for it to exist (necromancy is a DEAD GIVEAWAY that something is very wrong in the Tolkien-verse).
So creepy or not, everything natural that encounters the wraith becomes fearful and runs away; except for their horses and fell beasts, which are twisted by Sauron’s influence and magic.
Also in the books the spirits never actually fought anyone but they were used to demoralize and scare the absolute shit out of the forces of Mordor
@@JoshTheHoffman very true. The Dead didn’t play nearly as big of a roll in the book; another signature Jackson change. With one or two exceptions, though, I find that I like the majority of his changes. That is to say, at least they make sense.
This was hilarious. When she smacked your arm😂and the I just want a woman who can cook😂...You two are adorable and relatable.
I saw in her face she was mulling about what he said for a minute or two, when she said she fried stuff for him, so sweet.
@@j.a.h.vandelaak3477 I wish I could see the fight afterwards. Lol.
@@j.a.h.vandelaak3477right lol? Bless her, she was thinking about it far longer than expected
Part 3 can't come soon enough. They will be an emotional wreck the whole time. Who here is stoked to see Ash's reaction to the Ride of the Rohirrim?
Hahaha oh mate you have no idea..it destroyed us just wait
@@justtrustash Haha I can see it now. LETS GOOOO! WHERE'S MY SWOOOORD???
@@imaginator85 😂😂 trust me!!
"What is it about seeing someone that you can't see?"
It's the psychological fear of the unknown. Humans rely very heavily on their eyesight, so when we can't see something, especially if we know it's out there and it can see us, that's terrifying in a very instinctive, primal, predator vs. Prey sort of way. It's why any good horror movie writer knows to play with other senses before letting you see the monster. You hear footsteps or feel vibrations. There are strange noises, or a twig snaps, or someone goes "What's that smell?" And then when the creature is revealed, 9 times out of 10, it's less scary once we see it. Because when we don't know what it looks like, out brains fill in the blanks with whatever is the scariest thing possible for each of us on a personal level.
Great explaination
it's why masks are scary
Basically Ape brain likes faces, no face = run or fight
The greatest of all fears is the fear of unknown
To give a bit of slack to Denethor, apparently Denethor was a relatively wise ruler for the most part, but in his tower he held one of the palantir, the lost seeing stones that Pippin looked into.
Denethor used it to see far and gather knowledge and so rule his domain.
However, eventually his sight was discovered by Sauron, who strived with him mentally, Sauron showed Denethor nothing but the endless might of Mordor until his hope and will were completely shattered.
Fun fact:
10:32 The reason the movie has Pippin sing in this scene is because one of the filmmakers happened to go to a karaoke night with Pippin's actor about a day or two before this scene was shot. They were so shocked by how good his singing voice is that they changed the script for this scene in time for the shoot, just to include this song.
And Billy Boyd created the melody! A beautiful gift for music (and acting!)
That's him singing at the end of one of the hobbit movies as well.
i have never seen better use of the "they ask you how you are inside" meme than when you zoomed in on your gf after saying i just want someone who knew how to cook..... i had to pause the reaction just to laugh for a solid 5minutes just to be able to continue....and then she radomly says "i do lot of fry ups for you" oh man ..... Ash you need to Give her the one ring mate she is golden
😂😂 mate honestly no idea how she didn’t murder me..if I end up on a Netflix crime series you know who did it..mad love to you mate, thank you for this ❤️
@@justtrustash my guy you're playing with fire. Redheads are particularly fiery.
Source: My mother.
The ghosts in the mountains were not thieves and murderers...They were an army of men that swore to help Aragorn's elders in battle...When the time for battle came, the army ran the other way, so Isilidur (The one that cut the hand and ring off of Sauron), cursed them, so they moved into the mountains, not being able to move on, until they fulfilled their oaths.
So a thing about the ghosts:
They’re not criminals or ‘bad people’. They were a subject people who had sworn alliance and obedience to Gondor. But when the big battle you see at the start of Fellowship came, and Gondor was all ‘Okay lads come get killed with us in an apparently unwinnable battle’, they thought for a second and then were like ‘Nope nope nope’ and hid. Except Gondor won, and so Isildur, with the Ring, cursed them for breaking their oath.
So according to Tolkien, if someone makes you a promise and breaks it, you can curse them ?
They worshipped Sauron in the past until the remnants of the Numenoreans established Gondor in the South. Because of that, they refused to fight for either Sauron or the Alliance.
@@Freshboii_tru Not quite. The Folk of the Mountains had sworn a solemn oath of allegiance to aid Gondor in time of war. An oath of that sort, between nations and kings, was viewed as being more than a mere ‘promise’ - it was a sacred thing. There were few viler things you could call a man than ‘oathbreaker’, because such a man could not be trusted in any way, had no honor, and was a coward to boot.
It’s also important to remember that Isildur’s curse is the curse of a king, and a king bearing the Ring at that. Curses, oaths, and such things from the mouth of a king have far greater power in Middle-Earth (and the sagas and folk beliefs that influenced it) than in reality.
@@cenotemirror Darn, I thought I had good cause to curse someone ;) thanks for the explanation
@@Freshboii_tru Oaths are very powerful in Tolkien's world. Making them can have serious consequences, as Feanor discovered, as can breaking them.
"Oh my God! This man's riding a hyena!"
I always thought it was an interesting artistic choice to make the wargs look like hyenas. They're definitely described as more wolf-like in the books. But I don't hate the hyena look. I think they look scarier and more feral as hyenas.
Little background info on them. They aren't just animals. They are sentient creatures with their own language and culture, but they are pretty darn evil and have an alliance with the orcs/goblins, so when their goals align, they allow them to ride them into battle.
Yeah, there’s just something about the hyena look that’s inheretly off-putting and scary. Poor hyenas😄
I like that look for the wargs, but it does make it harder picturing them as intelligent and having their own culture. They definitely come off more primitive.
I love these movies, but the wargs where maybe my biggest problem with them. Big wolves would have been scary enough! Tolkien drew so much inspiration from norse mythology, and "varg" is actually the sweedish word for wolf. And when we already have the evil men from the evil east comming to destroy the good west with their giant elephants, I don't see why they would wanna give the orcs African animals to ride as well. That's the ONE THING the bad Hobbit movies did better.
Theoden and Eomir are trying to 'save' Merry and Eowen, but they're just... not really that tactful about it. Their hearts are in the right place, they're just... overly blunt about it.
Also: love watching you two get properly into these movies!
Finally, someone who gets it.
I thought your last costumes were on point, but damnnn! Haha you're both just absolute beauts, these reactions honestly bring me so much joy. Also, Hannah's constant empathy and big-hearted-ness is so sweet to watch (which also makes her annoyed side-eyes at Ash even cuter haha).. Can't wait for the finale!
Ps I always wanna quote you guys here but by the end of the video there's too many hilarious things to choose from lol
😂😂 Hannah loved this, took a screen shot and showed her! Thank you for the love, honestly means the world to us
you got to understand Denathor the steward has spent his whole life protecting this one city, and all he has gotten out of it was that his son is dead. and now after all these years he is about to lose the city that he has poured his whole life into, so he is going mad from grief. he has only ruled in a land that has only known war.
Actually when Éomer speaks to Éowyn that she doesn't understand war as he does, it's true. We're talking about middle earth, not about some progressist world that we live in today. "War is the province of man" it's actually what war was back then, they fought and died for their home, women and kids.
though it's the same thing today. military is more interested in results than "progressive " equal gender policies.
@@LeventeCzelnai not militaries on the West lol
"Back then" ? This is a fantasy world where Eowyn along with Merry explicitly prove them wrong, not a history book
war is still the province of man tho, look at ukraine
@@horsepuncher95 yes, and she almost gets her ass whooped
I was dying when he casted the spell WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA i cannot 😂😂😂 I love this combination you two are charming and absolutely hilarious. Please drag Hannah into more videos in the future Ash!! Keep up the great work!!!
Hahaha mad love to you mate, thank you for this ❤️
I love the song that Pippin sings in this film. Billy Boyd who plays Pippin is an actual singer
And he wrote that melody himself :)
It's so beautiful.
"That was a good move"
"But we are not on his side !"
You killed me 🤣
Haha appreciate you watching mate
•So as Pippin is now a Guard of the Citadel of Gondor, Merry is now a Squire of Rohan. A squire is someone in training to be a knight.
•I like to think what Gandalf summoned with his staff was a sort of divine light, similar to the rising sunlight at Helms Deep.
•Lord Denethor is a man suffering from grief, who takes out his anger on his living son.
•Kissing the ring of one's lord/master is an old medieval custom. It's a formal submission or pledge of allegiance to the one wearing the ring. It is also done when greeting a cardinal or the Pope.
•This is more an homage to the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade and the poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson. "Half a league, half a league, half a league onward. All in the valley of death rode the six hundred. ... Theirs not to make reply, theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die."
•Dunharrow is a refuge for the Rohirrim and a fortified position. The Dimholt is the forest along the Paths of the Dead.
•There's training to fight and then there's the experience of actually fighting a battle. Everyone is green until their first battle, where they see the true horrors of war.
•Lord Elrond refers to the Army of the Dead or Oathbreakers. During the War of the Last Alliance, the Men of the White Mountains pledged their allegiance to Isildur that they would fight with him. But when Gondor's need was dire, they fled deep into the mountains. So Isildur cursed them never to rest until they had fulfilled their pledge. Now, they are restless spirits.
•There are a number of women who have dressed as men so that they could fight for their countries. Mulan happens to be a very famous example. Also, I believe some of the extras playing riders were local women with fake beards. They put a call out for anyone who could ride a horse and got about 300 people, both men and women.
•It's a warg, which like in the last film resembles a hyena. In the book and The Hobbit trilogy, wargs resemble large wolves.
•That's the idea - launch the heads of the failed charge over and scar the city into surrendering.
•So clearly Gandalf is the better commander of this situation. He will lead Gondor's forces until Aragorn's return.
•He moved at the very last possible moment like a boss.
•Still in Isengard. Their involved in the war ended there.
•So that is Grond, a massive battering ram Sauron built special for the gates of Minas Tirith, and the creatures pulling it are called the Great Beasts or Great Siege Beasts. They sort of look like rhinos.
Another awesome reaction guys. The War Of The Ring is happening everywhere so the battle on The Pelennor Fields is just one small part of the conflict. There is a whole army of Easterlings and legions of Orcs all up North fighting the Dwarves of Erebor and the men of Dale. Dol Guldur is a base of operations which most of the Nazgul were stationed and they are fighting Galadriel and Legolas's people of Mirkwood, I believe the orcs of Moria were also involved in this conflict. You will understand it a little more when you see The Hobbit these lands are all at war. Sauron had forces everywhere and the Corsairs who sail are descended from Numenor like Aragorn The Dunedin, The men of Arnor and of Gondor. They are called the black Numenorians who followed Sauron when he seen to the fall of Numenor by destroying it from within. That's why Elrond told Aragorn there wasn't enough men it's why people had to stand Sauron could win without ever having the ring, one thing he didn't account for was the courage of small people with big hearts.
This explanation is good but please man use some punctuation when you type lol
@@IsdudeMe I'm terrible at punctation I always have been ironic that make my living as a writer though isn't it.
From memory some of the Corsair ancestry was also from the rebel faction of the Gondorian Kin - strife, who retreated to Umbar after their defeat at the Battle of the Crossings of Erui.
@@bluecedar7914 I do believe that's right that's a deep dive even for me. If I remember correctly then Umbar has three basic sets of ancestry the original people of Umbar, the black Numenorians who would become the Corsairs and yes the rebels from the kin strife. The one group of men that fought for Sauron that were left out of the films entirely were the Variags, I think it was because of their scant appearance and description in the books. I think they were asian looking in appearance and the Corsairs in the film do have a lot of Asian pirate influence in their design, I believe this was a nod to that particular group. I myself always like to think the armoured Easterlings we see in Two Towers are going through Mordor, in order to meet up with the rest of the army being sent North to Erebor.
@@fullcomicalchemist2195 Re the last thought, maybe. I would think it a little odd for them to make such a substantial arid detour from a more direct route to Erebor to enter Mordor via the Black gate. If they were coming from the south east of Mordor, it would be safer and quicker to enter via Núrn. Maybe they needed extra provisions or instruction beyond what Sauron's emissaries in the East could relay to them.
While in the movies the dead actually fight, in the books it's a bit more vague and nuanced, their power, much like the Nazghul, is in fear. They're used to fight the corsair ships, but only as a way to instill fear, the actual men they get are from surrounding lands.
Which is pretty hard to convey on screen and would probably have folks wondering what the point of that little side quest was.
Everyone's talking about the cooking comment, but I loved the DISDAIN Hannah had in her eyes when you were pumping up that orc's sidestep. She was like legitimately disgusted at you for cheering for the orc lmao.
Gotta admit, for an orc that could barely walk, that was a great sidestep haha
When you said “this is a proper battle” I thought to myself “oooooh you have no idea what you’re in for😂”
Oh I know now 😂
Two good Viggo Mortenson movies after this one--and both are very John Wick-like before there was a John Wick: A History of Violence and Eastern Promises.
I liked him in Hidalgo. That's a great movie, imo
Alatriste! The movie adaptation of the novels of Arturo Perez Reverte where he plays the 17th century soldier, swashbuckler, and professional duelist. It's his best work by far.
@JohnBoy Yesss, love Hidalgo!
The way Hannah is so invested in the story .. Ash, mate .. you need to buy the ring ASAP! 😊
I think he knows. :)
What I love about the trilogy is Sauron took his time putting together his army while Saruman was cocky and rushed it. Saruman had an army of 10,000 orcs while Sauron army was over 600,000 to include men, trolls elephants and the nine Ringwraiths.
And Grond, the hammer of the underworld
it took a long time to build it in the smithies of Mordor and put the spells of ruin upon it
Faramir needed his fellow Spartans from 300 with him to stand up to his mean old Dad and shout back in his face AAAA-OOOHH!! AAAA-OOOHH!!
Mate! Imagine if 300 Spartans came to help instead of the army or the dead, the green guys..I would honestly die 😂 how amazing would that be
The Fellbeast picking people up and throwing them off the walls of Minas Tirith was especially horrifying when the film came out because two years before everyone saw the horrifying live images of people jumping out of the highest floors of the WTC. To be honest, that scene in ROTK was shocking for me back in 2003.
Not only that, they had to re-edit the part where the Tower of Barad Dur fell when Sauron was defeated so it wouldn't look like one of the Twin Towers falling.
14:55 - Sorry to laugh at you both but I was lmao because she didn't realize you were speaking as Aragorn.
7:51
He *was* a good person back in the day.
But you guys remember that "magic ball" thing that Sauroman had?
There's another one in Minas Tirith.
And both of them turned the people looking into them for answers towards the dark because Sauron *also* had one and used his power to bend the others to his will showing them only the narrative that Sauron *wanted* them to see, twisting their world view, breaking them down mentally day by day.
Sauron twisted Sauroman this way, despite Sauroman being the wisest and most powerfull of the white council.
So what chance would the steward of Gondor have?
*Denathor dismisses Faramir*
“Mate you needs some fresh air” 😂😂 and then later “I hope a Nazgul screams in his chest” 😂😂 idk why that killed me
i was sad because that's basically how Theoden, the better ruler, is fucking killed lol
"Where's my SWORD!?" gets me every time.
Just a comment on the scale of the production: they literally made tens of thousands (I want to say 60 000) small rubber skulls for that one scene during Paths of the Dead, which is only in the movie for a few seconds, and I believe it was even cut for the theatrical release and only appears in the extended version.. ;)
😂 listen extended is good but instead of showing mountains let’s add the most important scenes like the skull haha
YESSSS That scene where Gandalf is fucking destroying those orcs with his sword and staff is maybe my favorite scene of battle in the entire trilogy!! So glad it hyped you up so much
Mate it’s just so good, specially that 360 spin he does..mad love to you mate ❤️
Ash does not understand the situation until half way through the tomato eating massacre lool. Getting so excited and waving his sword for a sluaghter.
Remember, Elrond can see the future at will. He knew what must be done to win the battle.
Dumbledore... I paused the video to laugh my ass off. 😂 They are both old and bearded and powerful, to her defense.
Then 14:55 ... I'm crying 😂. When the words come out before going through any checks.
😂😂😂 need you to check me just wait till we go live before part 3, got knows what is going to happen
Not to knock the Potterverse, but Dumbledore is 100% just Gandalf, in the same way that a lot of stuff in there was taken fairly blatantly from Roald Dahl. Again, not saying the universe is without its strong points, but Dumbledalf is hardly the only example of... let's call it "borrowing". Nothing necessarily wrong with that, but it is what it is.
In the book, Denethor (Boromir and Faramir's father) wasn't as much of a tool as he is in the movie, but I think the movie did a great job overall capturing his personality and motivations (although very simplified; the books are massive). But the scene where Faramir is riding on the suicide mission with Denethor just eating away like a bastard and Pippin backing the scene with a melancholic song always gets me. They say you don't miss the water til the well runs dry, but if your kid has to almost die for you to realize you love them, you're a shit parent and shit human being. There's nothing much to say after that
😂😂😂😂 just watching her stew on the cooking bit is hilarious! Bro I can’t wait to see the next video, I hope you teared up a little!!
Had to pause 10 mins in to say YES HANNAH!! This might change but for now, I was sure she was going to start hating on Frodo immediately after the 'go home' scene since she loves Sam so much. But she nailed her analysis imo and Im v happy.
to your comment about it looking like daytime when Gandalf is chasing off the Nazgul, remember that earlier Gandalf points out the Shadow of Mordor (that giant black smoke cloud) had moved out over the fields as cover for Sauron's forces to attack Minas Tirith, so they would be able to move in the sun.
"ESQUIRE. I shall use your little knife as my toothpick" lol love you guys, good job with the editing!
BTW the skulls were not CGI they built a wall that would break away and every take they had to rebuild it and stack over a thousand miniature skulls behind it again. It was only like 5 feet tall in real life but still
I hope everyone involved in that got an Oscar individually haha
You said it was a proper battle when Faramir takes his small army back to Osgiliath on Denethor's orders but the truth is that they are riding into what will be a massacre because they are horribly outnumbered. Faramir tries to tell his father this but Denethor will only see it as a failure on his son's part.
Bring it on! Really looking forward to this! Big congratulations on the 15k subs. 🥳✌️
Eomer wasn't being sexist. He was trying to protect his sister as he knew Eowyn would want to fight.
"I just wanted to date someone that could cook man."
Lmao that sent me.
That whole bit was hilarious. And she brought it up later which means it hit close to home . 🤣
He did get out of the grave he dug rather well though "that's why I'm with you amongst other things" but she still gave him the stink eye
I understood it as if Ash was talking like Aragorn, and that he meant that Aragorn just wanted someone who can cook.... so I think it might be a misunderstanding. Hope they figure it out. She seemed a bit hurt that he might think that SHE couldn't cook ❤❤❤
"Ugh, the smell!"
Actually, if it smells bad in there, it's not from the corpses. It's the rotting flesh that makes the bodies smell. When all that's left is bones, it doesn't stink.
I really do want to know, however, where the rest of those skeletons are. Why is it just the skulls? And before anyone tells me it's like the French Catacombs, that's fine...but that doesn't answer the question of where are all the other bones, and only raises the question of who separated the skulls from them and moved them all? Everybody there is either already dead, or dies there. So who did that?! Lol
25:06
Not a part of this war.
They're already a dying people.
Attacking Sauroman was already borderline what they felt comfortable with.
But Sauromans orcs had been cutting down trees in the Fangorn forest, and *that* is why Treebeard and the rest of the Ents decided to fight Sauroman.
They're not really on anyones side because no one is truly on *their* side.
The Oathbreakers weren't "thieves and murderers"; they were traitors, not criminals.
That Dumbledore drop had me on the floor hahahaha
03:04 lyrics:
Sílant calad Dûn (A light shone in the West )
Tollen Rochon 'Lân (The White Rider had come)
Mennen nored dîn (Their race was over)
Eowyn Is the perfect example of how you can make a strong female character with an awesome story and a huge role in the movie!!
THIS!! Marvel take F$#ing notes
FACTS!!!!
@@justtrustash and it still wasn’t as good as her book version
I just fell in love with your sense of humor! The girl is generally heavenly beauty!
Haha appreciate the love mate, thank you ❤️
A major point that the movies miss is that Denethor had a palantir (a seeing stone like Saruman had) and had been looking in it to find some advantage over Sauron. But because Sauron could control what he saw, Denethor lost all hope by the time Gandalf arrived. That’s why he acts so awful. And because he was always a proud and petty man.
I was getting so hyped during this video. I was ready for the battle. Then the video ended... I don't know what to do with my hype-ness. I'm twitching lol
So Hannah can fry stuff…what a keeper 😂😂😂 great reaction guys. Loving your work.
Hannah saying "piece of shit" had me cracking up for a solid 2 minutes and the smile after icing on the cake.
Dude, honestly, you have the best reactions bar none! Hilarious, raw, genuine, and the chemistry and dynamics with your beautiful girlfriend are just perfect. Subbed.
Love you my brother! Thank you for this beautiful comment, honour to have you on this channel ❤️
You recognize the character arc that everyone misses and its Theoden, he goes from not wanting to get involved in any fights to charging at the head of his army for people that aren't even part of his kingdom
“Take off your fur, sort your posture out, and do something.” Words to live by.
In the books, it was really Gandalf who raised and taught Faramir and made him a great Man. And he is greater in the books in some ways than he is in the movies (he also knows about the One Ring and never intended to bring it to his father). There is a reference to this in the movies, however, when Denethor derisively called Faramir a "Wizard's pupil". The person he is, aside from his DNA, was the doing of Gandalf, not Denethor.
I'm at work right now, but this is the first thing I'm watching when I get home! Man I'm hyped!
Im at work watching lol
@@8JFJK8 nice 😎
You two are just the funniest reactors ever, are you going to react to the HOBBIT
Wow, this comment proper hyped me mate. Thank you so much you legend ❤️
You two are the best movie reaction channel on UA-cam. No one has better personality, commentary, dynamic, and costumes!! hahahaha Much love!
Wow I love you mate, thank you for this ❤️
Ash, now you need to cook for your beautiful elf girlfriend by way of apology.
Oh trust me I’m treating her properly 😂 you’ll see soon
@@justtrustash I think you know what you've got. This is a year ago so every time I watch a new reaction, I keep hoping to see a ring on her finger.
You guys are my new favourite reactors! I've never enjoyed watching Lord of The Rings as much with any reactor as I have with you lol you're hilarious together. Can't wait for part 3, so many great scenes still to come.
No lie. When I saw this on the theater and that disfigured goblin looking thing came on...the first thought I said was "BABYRUUUTH! HA HA!" I think he looks like the creature from Goonies every time. Lmao.
Also I only realised after that Sam was goonies too..
Theodin has so much hope because they and Gondor are the last humans of the western land. To lose now would ruin the fate of man forever. They HAVE to hope.
In the books, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are a recognized group of close, loyal friends, and are collectively called The Hunters because of how they hunted down the group of Uruks and Orcs who had taken Merry and Pippin captive. And Aragorn was a friend to many and would become such a looming figure, so within that group, Legolas and Gimli became an even closer pair.
Your relationship is adorable. You both look fabulous, though one more than the other... Discuss :-)
I enjoy your reactions
Appreciate you mate, thank you so much for this ❤️
Hannah is such a sweetheart, be kind to her!
Calling Gandalf Dumbledore was the highlight of this episode I LMAO 😂😂😂
😂 honestly lost my energy
My brother just sent me this and he sends me a lot of dumb stuff. I don’t know why I decided to watch this but I am so happy I did. I lol’d multiple times and this is so surprisingly entertaining. I especially enjoy watching the girl’s reaction as it is so pure! Loads of fun. Gotta keep the girl on this.
Dumbledore nearly took me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
Drinking game: take a shot every time Ash says “bitch!”
Hahaha you up for doing in the third reaction ?
@@justtrustash Should I record myself doing the drinking challenge for part 3? What should I drink?
My liver!!!
"this guy looks ike he's from the Goonies" Sam does a bit too.....
Hey you guys!
Such a fun reaction to watch, you guys are awesome! “Arma…armagillos” you’re thinking of armadillos, the little armored bois.
Haha cheers you legend ❤️
Y’all are easily the funniest couple on UA-cam
In the books Denethor is a much more complex character, he has a palantir like Sarumans but Sauron can't take his mind so he slowly drives him into despair and depression which is why he gives up when Faramir falls, but in the books he's much more involved with the defence of the city including ordering the beacons to be lit.
You get a thumps up for the lights in your hair! Great reaction you guys!!
15:01 had me crying 😭😭
😂 appreciate you watch mate, thank you
So I have watched your LOTR reactions now and let me say one thing at the very beginning:
I am a huge LOTR fan ever since the movies came out almost 20 years ago (I actaully read the books afterwards :D ) and I started to watch numerous UA-cam reactions to the trilogy in the past months, at least two dozens in total. Some of them were just mediocre, some were pretty decent, some were really good and very few were absolutely great. However, I still had to find a reaction I consider to be "near perfect" to date, but you guys totally nailed that! :) Everything from being funny, wholesome, authentic, energetic, really interested in the story and having a genuine feeling for the characters and themes was spot on! :)
Relly looking forward for your next reactions and keep up the awesome work! :)
I cry every time King Aragorn on the day of his coronation says in front of everyone to the hobbits “oh my friends, you bow to no one.” And then the fucking King bows to the smallest and weakest creatures of Middle Earth because they saved it. Then everyone bows. TEARS FLOWING EVERY TIME.
Aragorn is the prime example of healthy masculinity. He is humble, full of love for others, empathetic, compassionate, fierce, a warrior, loyal, defender and protector of the weak, gentleman, unafraid to show emotion and affection openly (such as kissing Boromir on the forehead and hugging the Elf warrior at Helm’s Deep), honest and a strong supporter of women as equals. He is literally what men need to aspire to. We need more Aragorns in the world.
Indeed we do
Then become real women instead of what yall have become.
The guy who played the lord in Gondor is actually a great actor. I promise you if you watched the tv show “Fringe”, you would love him.
Literally re-watched my Favorite trilogy with you guys. I enjoyed your reaction.
Lol, these two are cute. They have never heard that there are people working in lighthouses full time😂
Haha we appreciate you mate, thank you for watching ❤️
AUUUUUWWWWW YEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO ASH & HANNAH!! You guys just made my Friday. Can't wait for the final reaction. Aloha
LETS GOOO MATE!!!!!! Mad love to you mate, hope you’re well ❤️
@@justtrustash My Man!! Aloha
15:35 lmao that look, I think I've seen that before......
