Lord of the Rings in my opinion is the greatest movie series ever

[@The_Doom_Slayer66]

Agreed and as a avid fanatic The books are the greatest series of read

[@TheCurtainLift]

@@The_Doom_Slayer66 up there for me too.

[@tfwnoyandere]

dont forget the terminator trilogy

[@kingkiller5325]

​@@tfwnoyandereNo..... don't do that.

[@tfwnoyandere]

@@kingkiller5325 i really enjoy all three terminator movies. the third one is definitely not on par with the first two i'll admit, but it's still a good movie and a good terminator movie

[@Audifan8595]

Girl the masculinity in Lord of the Rings IS the reason why it's so popular 😅

[@thorinoakenshield217]

Maybe not the only one (there are many more i know😅) but yeah it might be a great factor🤷‍♂️

[@enternamehere2364]

Yea, it’s ACTUAL masculinity, none of that fake stuff

[@Sputnik5790]

I see a lot of videos resently analising the masculinity shown in the lord of the rings.

[@fork4207]

Yeah like Aragorn embodies that so well with being powerful and a skilled warrior but also a great leader who’s strong willed but is also vulnerable.

[@ripxdoc]

the way i thought this was a prelude to Lord of the Rings full movie asmr like the way Gibi did the Bee Movie lmao

[@shotgunsandstakes]

That would me majestic omg

[@therealelliotology]

I think one of my favorite things I’ve heard someone said is that “I love how the men in LOTR love freely and without hesitation”

[@rarabliang5191]

“If I were a horse that would be crazy” Dont we all think lotr lovers are automatically green flags?

[@bigdeuce1127]

The LOTR trilogy is always one of my favorite movies & one of the best movies has ever made & yeah, the extended edition sure is definitely better 😁👍

[@fr0oo0g]

funnily enough the lord of the rings was playing in theaters this weekend

[@lomarivosa1]

Lord of the rings has a good variety of really positive male role models in it. My favorite example is probably Sam. Im pretty short myself and don’t have a ton of traditionally super masculine traits or interests. I think Sam is a great example of how someone like that can still be brave and heroic and overcome adversities.

[@Lucia-ct2sj]

I would love if Gibi did a Frodo roleplay asmr video since the way he talks is so soothing and sweet. I think they would pull his curly hair really good :)

[@Chrispbacon94]

I just watched return of the king today too! Finding out they were in the movies again playing next week in some theatres also I definitely recommend watching it if you get the chance!

[@Macca10]

Does this mean that you would potentially be putting out another ‘Arwen’ role play video? Surely Ben can play Aragorn for a cut in scene 🤷🏼‍♂️🙌

[@YouGandered101]

This video made me look for your Arwen roleplay and omg the elvish whispering is SO good

[@roowtjuh193]

I watch lord of the rings every year with my husband ❤ its kind of a tradition since we are together which is 11 years by now. I love the movies but please don't forget the hobbit because i like those even better 😅

[@shogunbowgun1220]

Masculinity is at its peak in LotR. Literally all of the positive traits we've associated to it for centuries, without any of the toxic aspects in any capacity. The few times men in LotR do something that modern toxic ideology would describe as "emasculate" such as platonic love to another man, showing emotions like crying and laughing and all that, or depending on others and having the courage to ask for help, LotR shows that those aspects do not take away from masculinity, but strengthen it, add to it, enhance it. Those books and films helped make me the man that I am today. Hell, if I had a gun pointed to my head, and was asked "who is the perfect example of masculinity in fiction," I would have trouble deciding between Aragorn or Uncle Iroh.

[@AlienBemular]

YOU! SHALL SUBSCRIBE!

[@theyounggamer3315]

SPOILER: To be fair, Frodo DID die, just not in battle or anything. He kinda just floated off to elf heaven

[@mattmartinez7]

LOTR is definitely all-time. Love that for us that you got to finish it 😊

[@jakeferreira1211]

As someone who is into Tolkien on an unhealthy level, the reason that the movies are so popular is because the story and worldbuilding is on a level that I've never seen replicated anywhere else. The books were massively popular because nobody had ever written fantasy like that, and it inspired pretty much every fiction story that came after it, either directly or indirectly. And it spawned an entire new genre of fantasy. On top of that, the story really is for everyone. There isn't anything you can really point to that would keep people away from it, aside from just a general lack of interest in fiction or reading in general. It's definitely fantasy, and believe me, you can get very deep into the lore, but you don't have to. If you don't like the fantastical stuff you see in books like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings is for you. There is magic and different races and stuff, but it's pretty subtle for the most part. You don't want the graphic violence or explicit content that's in something like A Song of Ice and Fire? Great. Lord of the Rings is pretty PG. Do you want a roller-coaster of emotions? Got you covered. Do you want a happy ending? You got it. Want a bittersweet ending? It's got you there too. And most importantly, the themes are both timeless and universal. From friendship, sacrifice, love, and kindness, to war, regret, loss, and suffering. There's characters that every single person can relate to in some way. You have Aragorn, Samwise, Frodo, Pippin, Merry, Bilbo, Eowyn, Faramir, Theoden, Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel, and many more, all of whom represent all kinds of people and values but are all ultimately good. There's even Tom Bombadil, for people who want to live completely alone in the woods with they're spouse and run around picking flowers and singing songs about themselves. There's something for everyone in there.

[@kanamii_7246]

I rly love the lore and the fantasy kind of world overall

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

This was so wholesome and a delight to watch. Are you likely to put a clip of that ASMR video on Rest Stop? PS I hope this is an ok thing to say, I intend it in a friendly & supportive way: I love the pitch and tones and speed of your voice in this video Is it just my state of mind/ability to hear/not hear? Or is something different? Perhaps a new mike?

I think the respectable portrayal of masculinity is exactly why it's so popular. Aside from just being great cinema overall.

[@iamxevicho5170]

Watched all the extended cuts of LotR and the Hobbit films with a buddy, about to start Rings of Power. I'm neck deep in the lore now, on the verge of buying the books. Great films.

[@RonanS88]

I watch LOTR reaction videos all the time, particularly from creators who haven't seen the films before. I would really like an ASMR version. Those films will never be topped (literally, it wouod take many billions to match the level of effort that went into each film).

[@mhbrightman]

[@TalkingBen-ftw]

[@garrettrosalies8277]

I just started the series today!

[@TheWiseGrif]

I just saw all three movies in a theater for the first time over the weekend...truly a magical experience

[@nakenmil]

Lord of the Rings is seen as a sort of standard of fantasy nowadays, obviously, but if you look at it a bit more, it actually subverts a bunch of expectations, the most notable perhaps, being that it's not Aragorn, the Chose One, the guy with the prophecies about him and the magical sword, who is the main character or the one who saves the world in the end. No, it's the little hobbits.

[@kevinry4n]

Welcome to the greatest universe ever made, hope you enjoyed the ride!

[@Navyassassin781]

Gibi read the books they are great. And if you love audiobooks the guy that played Gollum narrated the books as well as The Hobbit and The Silmarillion

I think you made a mistake by starting with extended editions. I always watch them now, but I started with theatrical versions and I firmly believe they are better if you are a newcomer to the LotR family. I recommend extended on rewatch though

[@redundantchosen1]

"im surprised lotr is as popular as it is" Man its almost like they're amazing movies and book or something.

[@theultimatespider-websling3950]

I mostly play the middle earth games

[@raylast3873]

On the point of the popularity, I don‘t really think it‘s a contradiction. I suspect the fact that so few popular works have, for example, LotR‘s positive male role models, probably has more to do with the people making (or gatekeeping the creation of) various works of pop culture, and less to do with whether people would be willing to consume something like this. i.e. Jackson got the studios to make LotR because it was LotR and they could smell the dollar bills. But in other cases, similar content would be judged too radical and possibly „woke“ to risk producing.

[@HorrorKontoauszug]

You have to watch the "master-cut" of all femal to femal interaction in lord of the rings :) you'll be surprised

[@AJ0223]

I love Lord of the Rings and am absolutely not what Gibi would call a green flag

[@socrattt]

I read the books when I was young, and I loved them. LOTR spawned a whole trend, and I loved that trend. The movies were okay. Peter Jackson could have messed them up, but he didn't. The acting was good. The pace wasn't bad. The movies were safe, though. They lost a lot of the magic of the books. Also, there wasn't anything new to be excited about. The series dragged at points. The LOTR movies weren't revolutionary like Star Wars, but they were worth seeing. They were accessible - anyone could watch them.

[@Aaismar]

I think you're wrong on some points. Those movies were quite revolutionary and a risky bet overall, which paid of, as they are now considered in genre as an example to look up to. But yeah, it may have lost some charm from the books, Christopher Tolkien wasn't happy about the outcome if I remember it well. Although I think it was inevitable if those movies were to make sense as movies.

[@socrattt]

@@Aaismar For many people, the LOTR felt revolutionary.

[@sweetrolldealer]

Hi

[@raylast3873]

Not so sure about LotR being a green flag. Unfortunately, all (or even most) fans don‘t necessarily absorb or even fully reflect the philosophical content of the art they consume.

[@Soulferno]

Most fans I've seen absolutely talk about the deeper meaning to LotR whenever you ask them. The ones that don't just aren't movie buffs and simply enjoyed the trilogy as they saw it. Unless you're getting your impressions from Reddit or some other cesspool social media, real LotR fans hold a deep passion for the trilogy and even the lore of the books. The people who've only seen the movies, like myself, still hold them in high regard because they're simply fantastic stories with great characters. LotR isn't even my favorite piece of fiction but honestly, it is objectively the best movie trilogy in the history of cinema because it is indeed just that good and a majority of fans would agree with that assessment whether they're super fans or not

[@raylast3873]

@@Soulferno „talking about the deeper meaning“ and absorbing the the social and political ideas of the author are two very different things. And there are definitely plenty of fans with extremely superficial ideas. Plenty of right-wing ppl also tend to celebrate Tolkien, regardless of the fact that they generally don’t understand his work very well.
