Also as a small joke. If you think GOT fucked up time travel… look into how long it was between when Gandalf left Frodo with the ring to go find out information before Frodo even steps out the door 😂 Gandalf was gone for 17 YEARS before he came back

I don't think I've commented before but I'm doing so now to say enthusiastically: please react to all the LotR movies! This was great especially as we're at the end of GoT 🙏 really nostalgic movies for me and great to see y'all's reactions.

This is awesome. So hype. Spartan will go out of his mind in the second and third movie. This is written spartan all over it.

The trilogy is magic. Pure platinum. I can see you getting into it already, looking forward to see how you will find the whole journey. The characters will continue to develop, so much it felt for me like they were all my buddies. I've seen someone else commenting to say they watch it once a year, so do I. I've seen them sooo many times I know the dialogues 😆 hopefully, it will be as magical for you as it is for the huge fandom 🙂 enjoy!

Love it! Can't wait for your reaction to the other two movies!

Holy smokes. These are my favorite movies. In many ways, it's a more beautiful story than GoT. This is the best thing I could have seen after you guys finishing thrones.

Ismail Chettfour

I am so psyched for this! It’s my absolute favorite trilogy of all time and I think you guys will absolutely love it! The first half of this movie and also this movie in general is a lot more wolf building and general set up. It goes so hard after this omg 😂

Great vid! I was unconvinced about movie reactions but this was great! This plus Breaking Bad is an exciting future

I am commenting to provide engagement. Please continue LOTR.

Daniel Siegel

What a pleasure to watch this again with you guys! Perhaps you can begin to see how LOTR echoed into GOT. One example: Strider is actually Aragorn, just as Jon Snow is actually. . . That’s just one example. What’s most interesting about the influence, however, is how George RR Martin used tropes and themes from Tolkien in different ways and for different purposes. Something to think about more perhaps when you finish the trilogy.

Daniel Siegel

Funniest moment: when Spartan said to Pudgey that she must see the world of humans in the same way the hobbits do! And she took the joke in her usual good humor!

Lou Dryka

This has to be the best trilogy of all time. Crazy that you all haven't seen them but I am excited to be able to watch you both see for the first time

Ludus Aurea

The books and movies are both legendary in their own respects. The Hobbit and LOTR are foundational to the fantasy genre. Before this there was mythology and folklore but all modern high fantasy derives from Tolkien whether it’s Witcher, Thrones, DND, etc. The movies aren’t 100% book accurate but damn if it isn’t the best trilogy ever filmed. Looking forward to part 2, it gets epic af from here.

towards the end of the video I thought, "wow they're really only going to do post-Council plot in 12 mins of reaction?" and then I realized it was only part 1 :'( can't wait until the second half is uploaded.

Angelo Burton

Great reaction vid! I heard you mention how some of the themes resonate with you. The story was written in the time period of WW2 and espouses the corruptibility of the desire for greater power. It was reflected briefly in the council meeting as they jostled with each other. It’s also why Elrond identifies them as ‘men of the west.’

“I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence.” - JRRT. But I’ll stop being a prick now.

Angelo, WRONG, nothing is reflected on any known real world event, this story is timeless.

Anonymous

You're mixing up allegory with what Tolkien called "applicability." Allegory is when you can map the story precisely onto another. Elements of the story are just one-to-one representations of other things--that's not what Angelo suggested. Lord of the Rings isn't allegory, but through applicability it can be seen as relevant to infinite real-world situations, including WWII in a general sense. That's what makes it timeless.

Anonymous

Im not mixing anything Kate, it can be seen as anything you want, and you can interpret it however you like, that's fine, but the fact is it doesn't have any INTENDED reference to real world events. Which is why Angelo's comment is misleading and shares false information.

I was responding more to cocawren, but you said "nothing is reflected on any known real world event," which I think goes way too far in interpretation of Tolkien's dislike of allegory. For one thing, Tolkien's mind was shaped by his experiences and the world around him, and so, inevitably, is Middle Earth. I don't agree with the original poster's interpretation of the "Men of the West" line, but it's a perfectly valid literary interpretation. For just one example of how the Lord of the Rings reflects Tolkien's real-world context, the dwarves are quite closely modeled (in characteristics, history, and language) on gentile representations of Jews, and Tolkien was explicit about that.

Daniel Siegel

Aragorn is a heroic prototype with few nuances. He doesn’t have to learn and grow because he’s in his eighties, his moral character is set on automatic to do good. That’s fine— he operates as a mythic figure Jon Snow is an internally conflicted, multilayered character who faces one moral quandary after another, right up to the very end. Duty is the death of love, love is the death of duty.

Chris Button

If it’s easier watch each movie in two sittings render them seperate it’s fine to take your time with lotr there is so much too it!

It's not just dislike of allegory, he DESPISED allegory. Of course he's gonna be influenced by his experiences, that's why i said there's no INTENDED relation to any real world events, i wrote it in caps for a reason, but you didn't catch it. Tolkien doesn't want people to interpret and try to find any hidden meanings and real world references in his work. It's supposed to be lost history of the world. Like i said, yes you can interpret however you want, no one is stopping you, it's fine, there's no interpretation that's not "valid", you can imagine it to mean whatever you like. But that would also be completely missing the point of Tolkien's legendarium. People still to this day can't seem to grasp that someone would write a story so magical and deep, without it having some hidden meanings, they always want to interpret and in the process rob themselves of magical immersion of this world.

Angelo

DO NOT watch the extended edition of the second movie. You should only watch the extended edition for the third movie due to an important scene. Only watch extended editions later on if you really like the movies

Anonymous

You realize "dislike" is Tolkien's word? "Cordially," no less. Talk about misinterpretation. You jumped down someone's throat for what you admit is a valid interpretation, and which didn't actually make any claim to allegory or authorial intent. Tolkien wasn't against people making real-world connections to his work, hence his distinction between allegory and applicability. He just didn't want people thinking the text was coded and inflexible in its meaning. You seem to have some investment in blowing his statement out of proportion, so I'm not engaging any further.

Excited for this <3

Kate, im amazed that we can go back and fourth 5 times and you still don't get what I'm saying, anyone can have any interpretation they want, and apply it to whatever situation they want. They just cant claim "that's why Elrond said "men of the west"". He claims it as a fact, It is misleading and WRONG, because Tolkien doesn't want to reference real word events in that way. This is pure LOGIC, i don't know how to make this any more clear, if you still don't get what I'm saying i don't know what to do, I'm tired of explaining such a simple comment.

Anonymous

You can say Elrond's quote "men of the west" can be applied to such and such, but you can't say that's the reason why he wrote it. In my first example it is valid interpretation as anything is, but it's just that, interpretation. Only that way it can't be wrong and it isn't misleading, because it's not a claim about intentional meaning. Do you realise the difference between interpretation and claiming "he wrote this because of "_______" insert historical event""??

neutchain

I'd be interested as well maybe there is something I am not aware of. why? :D

Ricky

Nothing comes to mind that may spoil the third movie. Why shouldn't they watch the extended version of the second movie?

Anonymous

Spartan and the memes😂💖🤣 I believe Lord of The Rings is fully responsible for creating the fantasy genre. GoT would not exist if these movies weren't so popular, and the books wouldn't exist either because J.R.R Tolkien's books inspired Martin to write his.

Please do Vikings next, you will be thankful

It is number 2 for me for all times after GOT

Yess !!!! You guys are in for a treat .!!! Hands down my favourite trilogy of all time. Best movies of all time

AG

I only watched these for the first time last year and did NOT get the hype lol. They’re insanely cheesy in my opinion but I’m gonna rewatch with ya’ll and see if that changes for me at all.

TallTyrionLannister

They're saying you're kid. so it's not for you. and based on your original comment i would have to agree lol

AG

Lol I’m in my mid 30’s and said I wasn’t the biggest fan of the movies on my first watch as I found them a little too cheesy for my taste. Not sure how that makes me a kid or seem like a kid but ok.

spartan is absolutely gonna love Aragorn. Viggo the actor was really quite a natural with the swordplay.

WTF so many parallels to GOT
