Gandalf Gogglebox - Boromir's Death

[@CharlieHopkinson]

Here at last, on the shores of KZbin, comes the end of the fellowship, I will not say do not weep, because the two towers is 40% written. Thanks to all patrons, super thankers, and everyones who has liked shared or commented, it keeps the LOTR series alive! I'm sure you're aware it doesn't perform as well as Qui and Star Wars stuff, sometimes we do make a loss on these vids, but LOTR is my first love and every donation or bit of engagement allows me to keep going with it. So please continue!

[@reav3rtm]

Can't wait ❤

[@deejayxcrypt]

This is so brilliantly performed and finalised that I wish it would get more views. The Tolkien storylines are less kids shows than *Star Wars* so the difference in being trending (in social media) is way less of course xP

Boromir is the glue that holds it all together.

[@RHCole]

If Boromir hadn't been there, Frodo would've been at the shore when the Orcs attacked, which means that Merry and Pippin may not have been taken, so Aragorn and co. would never have went to Fanghorn and thus never dealt with Saruman, which means the Rohirim would have fallen at Helm's Deep, which means Gondor would have fallen at the battle of Minas Tirith and thus there would have been no distraction for Frodo to sneak the ring into Mordor, which means Sauron would have won. Boromir dying is the Nexus Event that leads directly to the Dark Lords fall.

​@@RHColeFaramir: besides which....and I've never told you about this big brother.....but I overheard our Dad on the phone with Peter Jackson after you left, trying to renegotiate your contract. He demanded that if ever Isidur's heir......sorry Aragorn.....if ever he shows up, then good old dad wanted you to have a very bloody, very graphic, very drawn out but very noble, and very, very public death! Something the bards would sing about.....mostly to keep his name on people's lips to ensure that good old dad's redundancy package would "be worthy of a man of my utmost qualities". I wish dad desired a bloody & graphic death for me, but he said I'd just stuff it up & survive. And that I'd probably shame his name eternal by needing crutches or a wheelchair!

Tbf he is kind of right the only stuff that is 100% part of Tolkien’s work is the stuff published when he was alive everything published by Christopher you do have to take with a pinch of salt as it was not official finished by Tolkien himself and he was changing stuff all the time up to his death.

@@iguran6035 I’m not really talking about ROP though it’s certainly made changes I think are stupid. I think If it was it’s own thing and wasn’t based on Tolkiens work it’s a fun bit of fantasy.

I just recently found put it together that Galadriel intentionally unsettled Boromir about Gondor so he would try to take the ring. If he had not then Frodo would have either tried to wander off, maybe do it alone and fail in so many places or captured outright. And at least in the movies it sets Aragorn on the path of becoming the king Gondor needs.
