When Aragorn kicks that helmet, then screams? You got it spot on. Viggo Mortensen broke his toe on that kick, and that scream was a scream of pain that he worked into the scene. They kept the original cut of him breaking his toe.

2:55 Elven rope holds until no longer needed. Then it unties itself so you can use it again, very handy.

"These guys look like old avocados" - 🤣 so funny because it's true and I hadn't thought of that before. your color commentary is really entertaining

Lord of the Rings The Two Towers was released in 1954. The first Wheel of Time book came out in 1990. Any similarities was not so loosely taken from Tolkien's works.

I gotcha, that makes sense. -Adison

Aragorn is a Ranger, raised by elves. They taught him many things. Loyalty, healing, and tracking to name a few. For all the talking and comedy you throw into this, you’re probably the most perceptive of reactors. Hard to believe but, this just keeps getting better.

He is also one of the last descendants of the Numenorians, he is very much not just a normal human.

That was so cool that you nailed the fact that Viggo broke his toe kicking that helmet!

Yes, Gandalf had many names. In supplementary material Tolkien suggested he wandered far and wide over the centuries of his life in Middle-earth, before he died and was resurrected.

Treebeard was supposedly based off C.S. Lewis, who wrote The Chronicles of Narnia (those movies are also worth reacting to if you've never seen them, especially the 1st one). Lewis and Tolkien were best friends, and Lewis was actually the one who encouraged Tolkien to write and publish LOTR. He in turn put Tolkien into his books as the professor who owns the Wardrobe, which acts as a portal to Narnia in the first book/movie. Also I don't know if you already knew about Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) breaking his toe or if you calling it was just a lucky coincidence, but that's literally what happened when he kicked the helmet 😂 It's been a long-running meme amongst LOTR fans to point that out every time the movie gets to that scene lol

Treebeard was a big influence on both the Green Man & Brother Book's people (the Ogier) in Wheel of Time great catch!

After this came out, my sister and I spent a couple years speaking Smeagol to each other. "Make me some po-ta-toes, my precious! "

You have a lot of empathy towards Theoden´s emotional turmoil, which is wonderful imo. He might make a mistake not listening to Aragon and Gandalf, but he is still the king and only trying to do what he can after waking up to so much anguish.

To offer some clarity, Gandalf is basically an angel. Also, he wears one of the 3 elven rings, the ring of fire and it is at least theorized it offered protection in his battle. I don't know enough lore to know if it was confirmed.

Gandalf definitely has many names. In the books, he reflects that: “Many are my names in many countries: Mithrandir among the Elves, Tharkûn to the Dwarves; Olórin I was in my youth in the West that is forgotten, in the South Incánus, in the North Gandalf; to the East I go not.”

I thought for sure that it was planned simply for the symbolism of the flag of Rohan falling before Aragorn who took the lead when he was needed and whose steadfastness and conviction kept King Theoden from falling into despair in the Battle of Helm's Deep. To find out it was just a coincidence is just icing on the cake.

Horse training is amazing! Did you see Nope? (If not I’d love to see a reaction to that). Horses are about as smart as a 3 year old and you can train behaviors for a shot like pulling away. Aragorn’s actor also went very method with working with the horse. He slept in the stall with the horse for days and spent time together constantly to form a bond. He ended up buying him and taking him home at the end of filming.

Anyone who knew who Grima's actor was already knew he was going to be a villain, he is the OG serial killer doll Chucky afterall

i respect anyone who carries their own seasoning.

The funny thing is Balrog and Gandalf was ones brothers, both are Maiar (in Tolkien mitology is some kind of celestial being like angel), but Balrogs was corrupted by evil. Gandalf is like an angel in human form and Balrog is like an fallen angel.

Things you may have missed: (1) All 3 LOTR movies were filmed at the same time. The cast and crew pretty much moved to New Zealand. The Hobbit village set is now a tourist attraction, and you can visit and walk through it. (2) Please move past the Hobbit’s feet, truly. EVERYONE knows you see them. (3) Remember it’s Elvish rope from Lady Galadriel. (4) Gollum is unusually strong, but he’s also been driven mad by the ring. Remember he was alone with the ring for 500 years. You saw what it did to Bilbo for 40 years, imagine 500. (5) Gollum/Smeagol are the same… the good (Smeagol) and bad (Gollum). (6) You missed the clue that Pippin left for Aragon. (7) “Some men just want to watch the world burn”. (8) Theoden king of Rohan is possessed by Saruman which is why he looks the way he looks. (9) The trees are talking because Fanghorn Forest is a living entity. (10) He DID break his toe while filming that scene. (11) Gandalf leveled up! Now he is a white wizard. More powerful than Saruman. (12) Gandalf wears the grey cloak so that no one notices that he’s leveled up. (13) The Ent's voice is the same as Gimli. (14) Don’t forget the cloaks are gifts from Galadriel and have magic to help them hide. (15) The funeral song is actually played out in the extended version. (16) Gandalf went looking for the riders that were banished earlier. He tells Aragon to look for him on the 5th day (“On the 5th day, looks to the east”.) Stick with them, you're doing great. THANKS FOR SHARING. ~be well~

I'll be honest: You had me at 'weird' with the seasoning in your backpack! 😂 Let's go!!!!

I always lol when YT reactors constantly have to compare things they see in old movies with current TV shows and Movies they watched, not realizing that these are book adaptations that were all getting their ideas and inspiration from the og's like the Lotr that came way before all of them, decades even. This generation is funny.

btw the dead slumps are a metaphore for the battlefields of the Somme and others in WW1, since JRR Tolkien fought there and built the horror of what he had seen(also in the 2nd ww) into his Lord of the rings!

I always thought Aragorn's tracking was too good! Like how were you able to tell all of that from the ground? 😂

Cue music from Queen, "It's a Kind of Magic". But in the books, Strider was trained by Elrond. And because Aragorn comes from the ancient line of Numenor, the proto-Humans basically like Methuselah and sons in the Bible living for centuries, well, he has Special Ancient Human Magic in his bloodline, too. Special Ancient Human Magic plus RIvendell Foster Care Elf Nature Magic sleepaway camp, and we end up with Aragorn being able to track over bare rock.

Aragorn was furious and aggravated he might have lost the Hobbits' trail. His yell actually began before the toe made contact. That was great acting. He broke the toe midway. So, basically, he worked it in.

John Rhys-Davies who played Gimli voice Treebread.

Bruuuhhh you are hella funny. New subscriber instantly!

How did Sméagol manage to divide into two separate personalities? His Sméagol side remembers how to love and develop friendships like a normal Hobbit, but the wretched Ring transformed something inside him and split his soul into two personalities, the other being Gollum, who only knows that he desires the Ring and wants to kill anyone who takes it from him.

That guard knew full well that Gandalf's staff was the most dangerous thing they had. He also knew full well that he and all his guards weren't getting it. Gandalf was being nice by pretending to fool him.

Gollum has that crackhead strength. It’s deceiving.

Gollum acts pretty much like any drug addict.

100% correct, the actor actually did break his toes!

the woods is the original hood friend. you forget where we all are from. nature

One minor thing I think the movies could've made clearer, is the elvish rope coming loose all of the sudden. It's because its enchanted to stay tight when needed and come free when the user wants to retrieve it. But its a small thing and doesn't truly matter to the story, similar to their cloaks being magical.

Gandalf said he has been knocking about for "300 lives of men". Or around 15K - 18K years. They use the term fool because "dumba55" hadn't been invented. 😁

How did that flag fly off that pole? The wind was stronger than the stitching; the banner breaking free was unplanned, just lucky the camera was rolling. That and the accompanying musical sting provides a portent of the magnitude of conflict in the upcoming encounter.

The rock cloak as you call it is an elven cloaks. it's ability is it makes you blend in to the environment you are in.

After filming was finished the actor who plays Aragon, bought the horse he had filmed with

On the seasoning thing. I used to work with a guy who took a bottle of sriracha with him everywhere in his pocket. He'd whip it out and put it on everything.

Re. Theoden killing Grima. Remember what Gandalf said to Frodo in the Mines of Moria? "Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement."

These films have been my fave films for the last 20yrs. I was 14/15/16 when they 1st came out so I came here only for the commentary. You are fluffin hilarious! I've been following you since I heard Sista Strong Jaw, for the 1st time! It's so sad, to me, that you didn't have the chance to watch these films before you watched the authors/books/films/shows Tolkien influenced. Tolkien is essentially the High King of High/Epic Fantasy. No one could truthfully say otherwise. Tolkien did it 1st. In addition to the world creation Tolkien created the many languages & writings you see in these films. The several dialects of Elvish (Quenya, Sindarin, etc.), Rohirric, Dwarfish (Khuzdul), Black Speech, Orchish, etc. Then there's the scripts tengwar & cirth. 29:11 • Gandalf has many names. His original name is Olórin (Quenya, High Elvish), Mithrandir (Sindarin, Grey Elvish), Incánus, Tharkûn (Dwarfish) Greyhame, Stormcrow, Old Grey Beard, Big Grey Beard, Láthspell, Guardian of the Third Age, Gandalf the Grey, Gandalf the White, White Rider, White Pilgrim, etc.

It's actually John Rhys-Davis (Gimli) who voiced Treebeard

awesome

These books were written in 1939 to 1947. I'm sure a lot we see in modern film and TV was inspired by this story.

Gandalf is able to resist the balrog's is because he is bear one the elven rings that were forged before the war of the last alliance. The elves that forged them were killed and their city sacked. But the three weren't so when gandalf arrives in middle earth thousand years later in the third age he is given one then narya( ring of fire).

Hmmm.... Sounds like a commercial! Man-flesh! ...or Orc-flesh if you prefer chitlin flavor!!

Before I qatch this one I am looking for the 3rd movie to put on my pkay list because I'm watching reaction to it.. but I can't find your reaction to the 3rd one?? Did I miss it or did you not do one?

Aragorn has foresight. Not the super detailed kind that Elrond or other Elves have. But he gets hit with big hunches that something should or should not be done. He feels strongly that Grima ( Wormtoung is the nickname the people gave him) has something important to do. Besides, there's not much Grima can tell Saruman. Grima is a mortal, and Saruman has been living in Orthanc, that tower in Isingard, for more than 1500 years. Since long before The Horse Lords were gifted that land by Gondor.
