ABSOLUTE CINEMA! FIRST TIME WATCHING *The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King*

[@sirkylanthered]

Crazy fact about Saruman's death scene. Peter Jackson asked Sir Christopher to cry out in pain when Grima stabbed him, but Sir Christopher was like "that's not how a man sounds when you stab them in the back Peter." And when asked how he knew that all he could say was "Im afraid that's clasified." Sir Christopher Lee was THAT dude.

this may well be the most painful cutoff point man, don't take too long with part 2 I beg you

[@synthesize5618]

It’s insane how perfect this trilogy is

[@Keffinated]

18:37 “Yeah, get hit with that holy light!” You are the first reactor (out of dozens and dozens) who understands that the light from Gandalf’s staff is holy. The same is true for the starlight from the phial of Galadriel. It’s not bright light which repels the Nazgûl and the giant evil spider, it’s holiness.

Ecthelion, Denethor's father, indeed had a cool name - he was named after an Elf from the First Age, Ecthelion of the Fountain, who is one of the three or four Tolkien characters who succeeded in killing a Balrog. (Like the others, he died doing so.) *blinks a few times at your comments about jumping off the clifftop*

[@bitterzombie]

Worth noting that he too fell to his death, as did the balrog he was fighting. So there is a strange parallel to Gandalf too- Denethor didnt fall to his death in the books, only succumbed to the flames...but that is also similar to being slain by a balrog, a "spirit of fire". The fact that multiple balrogs have fallen to their deaths indicates that they dont actually have wings, they were only described as being "cloaked in great wings of flame", which is likely just a metaphor describing what the fire that radiates from their bodies looks like.

36:51 the guy who died was peter Jackson 😂

[@MrGaleanon]

I'll love watching your reactions to the making of these films

[@bloodyneptune]

"He bit him for it!" He _does_ have a habit of doing that...😂

[@EDAnime1]

@@bloodyneptune I….know this now 😭😭

[@oldchannel_MoM]

One of the best moments is you gagging when Gothmog is on screen 😂

[@AtelierOfWeebs]

A murder in the shire, by a hobbit, it was unthinkable, in their peaceful life, you remember on the second film when Gollum called him "Murderer"? This trauma tormented him for eternity

[@sirkylanthered]

Smegol wasn't in the Shire though, he and his folk lived on the east side of the Misty Mountains.

[@AtelierOfWeebs]

24:14 Elendil was the name of the king, Isildur's father

[@sergiotarlit0371]

is faramir the guy on 300 movie also, the one with one eye

[@CharTurner6928]

Yes

[@miapark9748]

Poor Sam he's the real mvp the weight of the ring definitely took a toll on Frodo at this point f'ing up his mental state

[@zackrodriguez6653]

Hell yeah, brother.

[@theMMAdhatter]

Props for calling the siege engines on Minas Tirith trebuchets, not catapults 👍

[@sasd8747]

If you finish the trilogy you can enjoy watching sam and frodo playing baldur's gate 3, it's pretty funny

[@AtelierOfWeebs]

Ironically, it feels like the shortest one

[@RoadDoug]

You cut it off here? WTF? 😂hurry your A55 up!

[@danielott135]

Naw pip got a couple of other kills but that’s his best Frodo is only tough with Goulum it’s interesting as he really gets rage when someone wants the ring
