Pt4 Finale kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIKwYaiIgNNrq80 Just follow the link after you finish this one

[@MrGaleanon]

Rough that you had to restructure, but you got shown people watch you on purpose because we're still here brother.

[@MrGaleanon]

Also, in the books, the witch king was full of gnarly darkness poison stuff. Only the hands of another king could dispel it.

[@Shaggit]

You aint alone crying at some of these epic moments. 20+ years later, this movie still gets me!

[@jackbauerqqq]

Yes i seen this scene 1000 times but Yes i cried yet again seeing the reaction of this fine man

[@lgkf1126]

Same here 🙋‍♂️

[@TheBalisongBear]

I'm convinced that there is not a man alive who can watch Theodens charge without tears of wonder. Everyone knows what hopelessness feels like, and everyone wants to be brave in the face of it. Seeing that makes you feel strong

[@foxtaco]

🎯

[@PickledShark]

Man, that charge of the Rohirim is one of the most powerful moments I’ve ever seen in a theater. Everyone in the theater was shaken, crying, cheering, you name it.

[@Bondrewd_The_Based]

"Forth, and fear no darkness!" The charge of the Rohirrim is my favorite scene in the whole franchise

[@oscarmarques4213]

But the book tho 😍

[@My-Name-Isnt-Important]

The Witch-King of Angmar actually hesitates when he realizes he is not facing a man, and he recognizes Merry's sword as being a Barrow blade, a special enchanted sword that is dangerous to the undead. Which it's both Merry and Éowyn that bring down the Lord of the Nazgûl. Both of their swords are destroyed after stabbing the Witch-King, and both are also poisoned, due to the powers the Witch-King possessed.

[@johntumahab323]

Sam's victory over Shelob actually cemented him as one of the greatest warriors of the Third Age. That was the first time she had ever been wounded in her entire life, as well as the first time she ever encountered an opponent she couldn't overcome who forced her to retreat.

[@RobbyCisneros]

That’s awesome, I never thought about that

[@PickledShark]

The absolute best part about that is that he’s not really a skilled warrior or fighter. He’s simply so devoted to Frodo that failing to save him isn’t an option for Sam. Sam is a lesson to all of us about loyalty.

[@Osvath97]

Shelob was basically so arrogant she did not even consider that Sam could hurt her, and that is why she accidentally impaled herself on his sword with all her weight while trying to crush him (that is the description in the book).

[@custardflan]

The charge of the Rohirrim is my screen saver because every day is a battle against my inner orcs. I have so much to fight the good fight for. I am not effing joking. You so get it man. When I read this book back in the 1970s, it was a heart awakening experience for me and changed my life. It made me want to be a better person,.

[@foxtaco]

Simply beautiful

[@charliepepper333]

The Ride of the Rohirrim is one of the best moments in film history!

[@lgkf1126]

Absolutely true

[@sarahsupasweet]

I appreciate you doing Theoden's death scene justice. Most reactions don't. A couple have even skipped it! So it's very appreciated. It's the most emotional scene in the trilogy for me after Gandalf's passing on the bridge. Once I realized Gandalf was back, and with rewatches, Theoden's scene became the most emotional.

[@foxtaco]

I fought tooth and nail to get that scene cleared through copyright..and sorry for the late reply.you comment got sent to my spam pule..I usually hide the word death on my page to avoid spoilers

[@ThatWitchMorri-V]

And there it is, my fellow band nerd. "Ride for World's End" the theme as the Rohirrim charges down the hill. I tear up every time I hear it.

[@foxtaco]

Hit me right in thr feels

[@jessicaroutt9070]

Bro the scene where Rohan shows up at dawn is still hands down the most moving and amazing experience I have ever had at a theater. Also just to make it better next time you watch that scene remember this; theadon’s father hated his father (theadon’s grandfather) and stayed in Minas tirth until theadon was around 10, so when he looks on the city burning he is looking on his childhood home on fire that he has come to save 😭😭😭😭

[@peetabells]

Theoden

[@OverworkedITGuy]

Taco about to hurt himself being tense over Shelob XD

[@foxtaco]

🤣🤣Bruh smh

[@HowManyTimes234]

The ride of the Rohirrim is still to me the most powerful and most emotionally impactful moment of any fight scene in the trilogy. To have the cavalry arriving and charging headlong into certain death, with the music and the speech and the editing… UGGGHH gives me chills EVERY time I see it.

[@xencmo4346]

Aaaaand the sun rises!!!

[@abbiejo6822]

It's been a while since I read the books but someone reminded me that the "DEATH" battle cry was later in the battle. When Eomer found his uncle the king dead and his sister Eowyn apparently dead he rallied the Rohirrim with grief and rage and they cleaned up the rest of the forces, and I believe "death" was their battle cry then. In the books, the undead had already been released after helping with another battle on the way, but Aragorn has some other help arrive in the form of his old ranger buddies and Elrond's twin sons, Arwen's brothers. Eomer didn't realize Eowyn was still alive until after the battle when he asked why his sister's body wasn't in a place of honor alongside their uncle. Both she and Merry were near death because of the backlash from killing the witch king, but Aragorn's skills at healing brought them back. It's one of the ways the people of Gondor knew him as their king because of all the work he did after the battle healing those who had received magic-ish wounds from the Nazgul and Felbeasts. Also I always thought Eomer's actor did a great job portraying the shock and grief of him finding his sister apparently dead. I kind of ruined the mood the first time my dad saw it though by saying during that scene, "Don't worry, she's only MOSTLY dead! There's a big difference between that and all dead."

[@stt5v2002]

Denethor’s story is more detailed in the books. He has been using the a palantir (one of the crystal balls like the one Pippen looked into) to see Sauron’s intentions and even attempt to mentally assail him. As happened with Saruman, Sauron was able to use that connection to corrupt and derange Denethor’s mind. Seen from this perspective, Denethor is not just an idiot and a bad father. He was trying to help his people but was simply no match for the power of Sauron. One can be more sympathetic to his fate given what really happened to him.

[@GenXDaddyO]

I feel like they could’ve explained his story better in the movie with a few lines of dialogue or a brief scene showing him with the palantir.

[@vincestapels2022]

Denethor was truly a tragic character written very well in the books. He was Damm intelligent too. Gandalf and Denethors speech together was always very careful and cunning, as they tried to read each other's thoughts.

[@ronweber1402]

@@vincestapels2022 Ya Denethor was amazingly strong willed for a human to hold out against a Maier for as long as he did but eventually with Sauron's manipulations he fell into despair.

[@koreancowboy42]

Yeah it's even supported when Boromir and Aragorn was speaking to one another in Lorien. Boromir said "my father's rule is failing, he's not the same man as before"

[@overkillphil514]

I need to copy and paste this paragraph into so many reaction videos. Everybody gets confused with Denethor's actions. I think Tolkien wanted to express despair in his characterisation of Denethor and the mistake of thinking you know everything because you've looked into a Palantir.

[@hauntedhoes4218]

dude. you are the only one i've seen let the ride of the Rohirrim play out. thank you, one of the best scenes in an incredible 10 hour experience!

[@foxtaco]

I fought to keep it in..I wanted the vidoes on youtube ti still capture as many crucial moments as possible..glad you enjoyed 🙏🏿

[@DRiveraNat20]

I've seen like 20 or so of these LoTR reactions and this may be the best series. I love how much you pay attention, get into the story, and appreciate the power of these movies. Bravo.

[@elderadult8544]

The charge of the Rohirrim is still to this day my favorite moment in all of movie history! but these movies have so many perfect moments I couldn't list them all

[@elderadult8544]

And Sams moment on mount doom its just perfection! And don't get me started of the soundtrack literally my favorite of any movie by far. It can make me feel every emotion. And the ending is so good I love how it wraps everything thing up perfectly

[@bri_____]

I love how the eye only turned to Aragon when he refused to believe what the mouth of sauron was saying ❤

[@dininelbourne]

I thought it was because he cut homeboy's head off.

[@bing_bong2411]

Youre not alone man, every damn time i watch return of the king, the ride of the rohirim *always* makes me tear up and get goosebumps

[@foxtaco]

Overwhelmed...it's the culmination of soo many things throughout the movie..it took so long to edit cause everytime I started it..I would end up crying again 🤣🤣🤣

[@di3486]

Most epic moment in cinema history!!!

[@ibenbentalal9291]

to me its the line: you bow to no one. tears in my eyes every time

[@nafisamusah7085]

The best part is when the mumakil show up. 😍😍

[@edcAdventures.]

Ive seen the scene where theoden and his men chant "death" an marching forward more than 20 times and still gives me chills

[@foxtaco]

Me too( Editing) and I reared up every time

[@Gottagoslower]

My man I've watched this movie probably 100+ times and I still get teary eyed at parts. Masterpiece through and through.

[@johntaylor7029]

One of my favorite scenes in the book is when Shelob (the giant spider) first sees Frodo holding the light up; "She had been there when that light had first shown, it didn't scare her then, it didn't scare her now" Because Shelob is anceint, and more than just a big spider. Great bit of world building.

[@gestaltdude]

Issues addressed, now for trivia. The actor who played Gothmog, the Orc leader of Sauron's armies who declares, "the age of men is over", also plays the Witch King. So in the scene where the two characters are talking to each other, it is one actor talking to himself. :D Also, that brief shot of Sam's arm holding Sting as he appears to help Frodo, was not Sean Astin's arm. It was actually Peter Jackson's, the director/producer. He decided two weeks before the film's release that he wanted a bit of an old West, gunslinger moment for Sam, so he grabbed his replica Sting and got Andy Serkis, who was visiting, to film the shot in Jackson's studio apartment. The footage was sent via internet to WETA digital in New Zealand and added to the movie. Last bit of trivia is about the scene with Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas standing on the shore threatening the Corsairs on the boats. The crew of the main one they address are actually most of the production crew; the one Legolas "accidentally" shoots, for example, is Peter Jackson. There were also camera crews, designers, people from the costume and props department, all getting in one last chance for a cameo. :D

[@joshuawiedenbeck6944]

Gothmog was also modeled after Harvey Weinstein as Peter Jackson had a strong dislike of him.

[@AishaIsFabulous-x-]

​@@joshuawiedenbeck6944 Yes! When I discovered that fact, I loved the film even more, despite thinking that it wasn't possible! -x-

[@prettyokandy230]

ngl, the music in this movie is SO GREAT i can't even begin to put it into words...

[@rio20d]

LoTR trilogy is a timeless masterpiece, its been 20+ years and still it has stood the test of time. Just watching that ride of rohirrim gets me so emotional, its such an epic scene....I remember watching this on the big screen in a cinema, and the audience reactions were insane, everyone was roaring and cheering as these Riders of Rohan prepping their charge.

[@Meltorange]

Only real ones cry at the Rohirrim charge 💪😢

[@foxtaco]

Really special moment

[@SadieMeazell]

Tears every single time

[@alexkats30]

I know this was weeks ago, but I still have to comment about the Rohirrim Charge, it's one of (if not THE most) epic moments in cinematic history, if you factor in direction, scale, soundtrack, speech and stroyline behind it. Amazing stuff by Peter Jackson and Tolkien. Still gets me , you shouldn't be bothered by it either

[@dorothyknosby5648]

My dad passed away this April, and this was one of his favorite stories. He gifted the books to my mom in the 80s, and when I grew up in the 90s, it was a story I always heard and held dear. So when the movies came out, it was a family affair. Later it became our movies (extended) to watch on a rainy Sunday. I love seeing your reaction and how you enjoy the story so much. It feels like I get to experience it all over again. Thank you. 🥲

[@mrdavman13]

Imagine being king Theoden. After a successful Calvary charge and routing the enemy, you hear chanting and feel the earth rumbling. As you turn you see giant beasts, with tusks as long as two men. They stand as tall as many buildings in Rohan. You have never seen any animal like this, you have heard rumors but doubted them to be true. To have the courage, after having those rumors confirmed in front of you, to lead another charge right into the line of beasts, is such a testament to his character and will.

[@thamasdk8727]

What I love about the ride of the rohirrim is that unlike Denethor (who abviously is a more comlpexe character than is being shown in the moive) Theoden is leading from the front, you can clearly see his white horse being at the very front during the charge. He leads from example not just by giving orders.

[@xqiuvmah]

I love how Tolkien described Sam fighting shelob (giant spider) in the book; No onslaught more fierce was ever seen in the savage world of beasts; where some desperate small creature armed with little teeth alone, will spring upon a tower of horn and hide that stands above its fallen mate.

[@piratsnygg]

I just want to tell you that this is one of the best reactions I've watched of this trilogy. I've laughed and cried and raged with you. You are one of the most perceptive reactors I've seen, and I love that you love Pippin as much as I do, lol. He's always kinda pushed aside. But the true hero is our Samwise the Brave! ❤

[@foxtaco]

Pippin grew on me soo much throughout...he really stole my heart..I'm glad you've enjoyed the ride thank you for being here and sharing this with me

[@TheBalisongBear]

*the* best reaction in my opinion

[@QAF4life]

Cried all the way through this damn film, and after so many years I still do

[@KayosHybrid]

These movies are truly the epitome of glorious, epic, cinema. I am constantly getting fully body goosebumps at the pure excitement and extreme emotion, hit after hit. The march of th Ents on Isengard as the soprano sings, the horn of the Rohirrim and Theoden’s speech to as they ride to death, Eowyn avenging her father in the battlefield as a shield maiden of Rohan, the whole of Middle Earth giving praise to the heroes, the hobbits. The score riddles me with shudders and chokes me, it’s MASTERFUL. I saw this on dvd at home as a teen. What I’ve had done to see this in the cinema. It’s the odyssey of our time.

[@GuukanKitsune]

Fun fact, in both the book and this movie, Aragorn and company don't buy the Mouth of Sauron's bullshit claims of capturing Frodo for a second. They know what Frodo was carrying and what his mission was. If Sauron really _had_ captured Frodo, he wouldn't have even _bothered_ with sending an Envoy like the Mouth to Parley. He just would have put on the Ring and wiped out their army without even a pretense of treating with them. By even attempting this guile trick, the Mouth gave away that Frodo was alive and well and _uncaptured,_ and that they had encountered him, come across his things somehow, but he himself eluded them, they yet had no idea why he was even there or who he was.... and both Aragorn and Gandalf were well aware of this. Indeed, Sauron had no idea what had happened at Cirith Ungol, but had recieved Frodo's possessions in a package that had been sent to the Mouth just before the infighting broke out. The Orcs there mostly wiped each other help (Sam finished the handful that remained) so nobody could tell him who the prisoner was or anything that had been found out. He thought a band of probably elvish warriors (guessed by the mithril-shirt and elvish cloaks) and their halfling scout (the prisoner, he thought had been rescued by his elvish masters) to help them, were sneaking about but to their purpose he could not guess. Likely spying for his enemies, he thought. just after the prisoner's stuff had been sent away the elvish masters must had attacked and killed everyone in the citadel to keep whatever the halfling knew from reaching his ears... he assumed. So he set up the deception that the halfling was captured and had already spilled the beans. He didn't realize the _TRUE_ extent of the danger the halflings posed, and the purpose of their mission, until Frodo was _literally inside the Chamber of Fire_ and claimed the Ring as his own... and against all shocking odds _actually MASTERED it_ and became, for a few seconds, a Dark Lord in his own right, which Sauron sensed happening the moment it did and proceeded to _absolutely shit bricks_ when the Ring stopped calling to him and he sensed it gathering its power under _another MASTER._ In the book it points out the moment Frodo claimed the Ring and put it on, Sauron's eye snapped STRAIGHT to Mt. Doom and all his malicious will was straightly withdrawn from the Orcs still fighting at the Black Gate as if they had been totally forgotten, which caused them to lose all unit cohesion and tactical ability. He also called the Nazgul to abandon the battle and wing it as fast as possible for the Chamber of Fire... further dumping the battle victory in Aragorn's lap because _the Ring being lost to him was the only thing he cared about at that moment._

[@Spiri7ualShi7]

You have withnessed epicness. The good thing, is no matter how much times you watch this, you'll still get emotions and cry. I've been watching this films for 20 years since I was a kid, and now hits more than ever and I'm sure I'll pass Tolkien's stories and this movies to my children if I ever have any, as I think everybody touched by this should.

[@lucasfreire2095]

Another piece of trivia: when Aragorn say "For Frodo" and runs towards Sauron's Army, the choir sings in quenya (the elvish language) "if by my life or death i can protect you, i will". Its the words that Aragorn said to Frodo in the first movie, when he joined the fellowship. Howard Shore is a freaking genius!

[@graymouser6599]

I always loved in the scene with the Witch King how Shadowfax stands his ground and rears up in defiance of the Witch King's evil. So awesome.

[@gregghelmberger]

In a very shrot time you've become my favorite reactor on KZbin. Your honest, unhidden emotions and boundless empathy are wonderful to see. Keep up the amazing work. Theoden's "Death!" address to his troops is my favorite moment in the series. It's the most rousing, energetic speech of the sort I've ever seen (sorry Captain America, this one has you beat). When I saw it in the theater I wished there was somebody there I could fight!

[@cogbd]

Taco is one of the most empathetic reactors on KZbin.

[@kevinhouse1015]

The extreme level of EVIL in the Nazgul, Sauron, and the ring is like poison to humans, elvels, dwarves, and Hobbits. Merry stabbed the Witch King and was affected by the evil. Eowyn was affected by the poison in the Witch King. It is said that the King to come will have healing in his hands.......

[@Jaasau]

That charge of the Rohirim just hits different.

[@foxtaco]

So different smh

[@MikeKat11]

7:45 dude, it doesn’t matter if this if your first time or 50th time. That part gets everyone, every time.

[@AnthonyAvouris]

"Horns, horns, horns. In dark Mindolluin's sides they dimly echoed. Great horns of the North wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last." -- The Return of the King, 'The Siege of Gondor'. In both the book and the film, that scene gets me every single time. And while 'The Ride of the Rohirrim' is a fun chapter, I'll always skip to the end in order to read about the charge, haha

[@l30nard03]

Loved your reactions to this whole trilogy!👌🏽 I'm glad you didn't give up even with all the copyright BS.

[@gregsmith7833]

The orc armor Sam and frodo put on was inspired by the David Bowie movie Labyrinth.

[@matthewturley9694]

[@cromotocciano]

The charge of the rohirrim and Theoden's speech is my favorite moment from all 3 movies.

[@foxtaco]

100%

[@srinjoyroychoudhury7034]

Now I've the final battle of Endgame in 2019, Younger generations think that's as epic as it get. But I say this charge of Rohirrim is leaps and bounds beyond Endgame.

[@billholder1330]

I have to wonder how much of the civil war in Cirith Ungol was The Ring drawing closer, or just racial hatred between Morgul Orcs and Barad Dur Uruk-Hai. Interesting that it's the Uruk-Hai leader that wants to keep "that shiny shirt" and the "Morgul rat" wants it to go to the Great Eye (Sauron).

[@cendererol]

Arise Riders of Theoden! The best scene ever i saw in my life

[@spartan-0314]

Small clarification: Gandalf would have defeated the Nazghul leader were it not for the fact that Sauron was giving him a good amount of his power, knowing that they would fight. I don't think it says in the movie but in the book Gandalf fights all the Nazghuls at once for a whole night, so in Middle-earth at that time he should be the second strongest character after Sauron. Awesome reaction btw!

[@DrewbByerly47]

The books explain there is healing power in the hands of the King. This becomes one of the signs to prove Aragorn is the rightful King of Gondor.

[@CChissel]

Hey man, I definitely recommend you read the books now! You’ll get so much more backstory and lore on everything and more about the characters. If you aren’t big into reading, there are some very immersive audio books out there, that really make you feel like you’re there in the story and watching it all happen. I would definitely do one of the two after finishing these movies, as the story is much more detailed and expansive than what the movie show.

The Ride of the Rohirrim is just incredible... idk if it can ever be topped.

[@xtealz1993]

Eowyn actually contracted the same illness as Frodo did by the hands of the witch-king. This is why she was incapacitated by her arm wound. Aragorn being the true king was able to heal this, and this proved to the people of gondor that he was the rightful king, even before Aragorn planned to reveal this to them.

[@johnlaws9670]

If you watch John Noble in Fringe he is the sweetest old man you will ever see. Totally opposite from king Denethor.

[@Punslinger1005]

9:23 I’m sure someone already told you this, but Denithor had a Palantir (crystal ball) and Sauron has been polluting his mind for ages. Plus lots of other things. There is a suggestion that a lack of wife may be due to her dying in childbirth with Faramir who is the youngest brother

[@HeMadNice]

Much respect hermano. Great series that anybody can relate to.

The Ride of the Rohirrim might very well be responsible for more manly tears than the movie Old Yeller. And as others have said Denethor got dealt dirty here. I love the movies, but in the books he's a far more complex and tragic character. The movies make him into little more than a cardboard villian. Gandalf also didn't get off entirely. His confrontation with the Witch King of Agmar is alot less one sided. Its also probably one of the most epic scenes (in the book) in a story filled with epic scenes: In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl. A great black shape against the fires beyond he loomed up, grown to a vast menace of despair. In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl, under the archway that no enemy ever yet had passed, and all fled before his face. All save one. There waiting, silent and still in the space before the Gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadowfax: Shadowfax who alone among the free horses of the earth endured the terror, unmoving, steadfast as a graven image in Rath Dínen. "You cannot enter here," said Gandalf, and the huge shadow halted. "Go back to the abyss prepared for you! Go back! Fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your Master. Go!" The Black Rider flung back his hood, and behold! he had a kingly crown; and yet upon no head visible was it set. The red fires shone between it and the mantled shoulders vast and dark. From a mouth unseen there came a deadly laughter. "Old fool!" he said. "Old fool! This is my hour. Do you not know Death when you see it? Die now and curse in vain!" And with that he lifted high his sword and flames ran down the blade. And in that very moment, away behind in some courtyard of the city, a cock crowed. Shrill and clear he crowed, recking nothing of war nor of wizardry, welcoming only the morning that in the sky far above the shadows of death was coming with the dawn. And as if in answer there came from far away another note. Horns, horns, horns, in dark Mindolluin's sides they dimly echoed. Great horns of the north wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last.
