Celebrating 3yrs, 900k subs with Open Q&A!

[@R2D93]

I’m in the middle of my first listen of the Christopher Lee Children of Hurin reading! It’s so good!! Your channel has 100% sparked and facilitated my DEEEEP dive into the world of Tolkien. When I first started watching I had only watched the Peter Jackson films, read the Hobbit and partially started the Silmarillion. Fast forward to now and add on the rest kf the Silmarilion, LotR books, the appendices, Unfinished Tales, The Book of Lost Tales, Children of Hurin, and Rings of Power, and I’m not stopping any time soon. Keep up the awesome work and heres to 1 million!

[@jaanaffi]

Thank you so much for this great and interesting content and discussion❣️ And huge congratulations for 900k, Matt 🎉🎉🎉❣️ Keep up the great work you’re doing ❤❣️

[@aaron_22766]

Thank you Robert for sharing the story about Tolkien saying goodbye to his trees! It really touched me!

[@taylorhirthmusic]

Congratulations, Matt! We are all rooting for you to hit that 1 million subs !!!

[@VoiceoftheRings]

Congradulations Matt! Your channel is Amazing and Such a Wonderful Addition to all our Lives! Well Deserved Grats on 900k! Keep It up my Friend! The Tolkien Community loves your channel! :D

[@HLR4th]

Congrats! A demonstration of success by sticking to Lore! May the horde of your trophy room ever grow!

[@ElwingLuna]

Yay!! Missed it live but two of my favourite KZbinrs chatting has made my day. Congratulations on 900k so well deserved. Also, thank you for the sane comments on RoP: it is not perfect but there was a lot of good in there. It always struck me as so dismissive to just say it’s awful. That’s why I really enjoyed your review: thank you for the nuance; it’s what makes your content so good.

[@TCO1216]

Congrats Matt! You Guys could easily be the Showrunners of Any story from any age. Awesome stream for a great Milestone!!

[@ketofong2759]

Missed the live stream but Congratz on 900k! Cant wait till you are at 1 million and beyond! :)

[@imogencory9591]

Hope you do another live chat again and possibly at an earlier time because I live in England and am still in high school, so I couldn't get onto the live stream and ask you any of my questions and to tell you how much I love your channel and how it has made me grow an even deeper love for everything JRR Tolkien related.

[@phiology1983]

Definitely reaching 1M subs this year.

[@christinawanner6749]

Hi Matt Congratulations for 900k. You Chanal is wunderful. Have good day

[@Tyler_Pifer92]

Bummed I had to miss this, Matt. Huge congratulations. I’ve been huge Lord of the Rings fan since my dad read me the books before the films came out. I consider you the quintessential Tolkien channel. Super cool seeing you grow these last few years. Keep it up!

[@aresaurelian]

Congratulations @Nerdof the Rings, to 900k. I hope I will not miss the 1M world wide celebration.

[@RichEgginton1993]

My two favourite lotr KZbinrs. Today is a good day

[@skibsteds]

Congrats! I really enjoy your channel, and all the research that goes into the videos.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Congrats on 900k! Love the channel!

[@_Eternal-Darkness_]

NOTR, who were the most dangerous people or creatures in Middle Earth besides morgoth, sauron, the balrogs, the dragons, and ungoliant??? Love the vids. I always love hearing more on Tolkien related stuff. Keep up the good work

[@gandalf4751]

The lord of the rings 🥰🥰🥰

[@iancalhoun7644]

Yo my two favorite Tolkien creators? My next three hours are instantly taken up. Also, congratulations! Couldn't happen to a better person.

[@matthewmusgrave3329]

Wish I had caught t this and got a question. Going on the topic of movie/TV rights, my question would have been: We all spent years having the animated film as our movie about the LotR syory. What would your view/opinion be if the rights were open to seeing the chance/hope/possiblity of Ralph Bakshi FINISHING his version of the Lord of the rings?

[@mirowena]

Congratulations! I love your content!

[@BrainMatterIndependent]

we need more IN DEEP NERD!

[@Indarow]

Mmmmm… I don’t know if Bilbo exactly *willingly* gave Frodo the ring… perhaps it was his original intent, but Gandalf definitely had to intimidate him to get him to follow through if I remember correctly. Sam however… To be fair though, Bilbo had the ring for like 50 years, and Sam only had it for like 8 hours *maximum.*

[@WhoIsCalli]

A lot of fun guys. Here’s to that cool milly

[@seedfinder420]

What?! My two most favorite lotr KZbinrs together?! Thank you so much for this cool collab!

[@losthylian]

Hey, I started watching both of these guys when Rings of Power came out! Cool!

[@jackthehumanofficial]

cheers man been here since like 50k subs maybe less!

[@julzhallmann5411]

Hi Matt. Congratulations on 900k. Your channel is so cool. I LOVE the BBC dramatisation. Bill Nighy is wonderful as Sam and I love his singing of the Fall of Gil-gallad and In Western Lands. Also I love the Silmarillion and The Hobbit read by Martin Shaw. I am sorry to hear you lost your friend in an accident. As for you, delving into Tolkien's world and PJ's movies helped me deal with a personal tragedy. Because of the way they died I struggle to watch the end of FOTR when Sam nearly drowns or the dead marshes in TTT. I would like to ask what you think about the age ratings for the movies, particularly TTT and ROTK because of supernatural horror and violence? Do you agree with me that they should be for 15 yes and older? P.S. Any chance of getting an interview with Orlando Bloom (Legolas)? He is so cool.

[@glockparaastra]

You’ll be over 1M soon!

[@OmarTheAtheistAziz]

2:20:35 some balrogs have wings?! Ostriches have wings flightless birds that dont use their wings in anyway other than to keep balance. “Of humanoid shape” anything gargoyle/imp/ape like (Arms/legs/head over shoulder)

[@guillaumeludot403]

Congrats! Hey do you have any clue who the witch king might be? Maybe Tar Pharazon?

[@jackthehumanofficial]

matt you would love song of ice and fire tbh. i know youre not a fan of the sex/ violence but i think you would be able to get past that bc of the amazing story just imooo ❤

[@bobdelliott]

If Tolkien had meant for Balrogs to fly he would have given them wings. 🙂 Of course, he didn’t.

[@mohad2760]

Matt can you make a video about languages of tolkien's world ?!

[@kp-person1]

Does anyone know where I can listen to the BBC radio drama?

[@NerdoftheRings]

I listen to it on Audible: amzn.to/3JEhqjc

[@kp-person1]

Awesome, thank you!!

[@duanecates1568]

I MISSED IIIT!! AAAAUUUUUUGHHHHHHH!!!!!

[@tonyajm8289]

I don't think anyone has said ROP is brilliant!

[@IanHeins]

Nice work thanks

[@runninblue9415]

Great chemistry 👍

[@serdarLegend]

Intro music name pls?

[@waleedtalal8629]

for god sake can anyone tell me the music in the beginning?

[@AlyxGlide]

"Only a Sith deals in absolutes" a²+b²=c² 😁

[@KizzMyAbs]

I thought they don’t have the rights to the silmarillian and anatar

[@Crunch104]

Keeping something a mystery for an extended time is an unfortunate common trope these days. Like the TV show Lost and so many others. I don't find it entertaining, and it is just a way to extend a show. Good story should keep your attention and not hiding something. It's cheap if it is relied upon too heavily. A little bit is okay.

[@PerryTribeMetalBaker]

Old English; Orcneas ‘monsters’ 🙃

[@burnwankenobi803]

Congrats but kinda displeased with anyone talking about rings of power as if it’s anything other than attempt to destroy our culture, it’s a direct attack on our culture if you’re hearing that for the first time there’s reasons for that you should look into

[@KizzMyAbs]

Yup. He’s biased cuz they shworunners gave him an interview tho

[@sam3317]

Tolkein>Bakshi>Jackson>Everything Else>J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay>Simon Allen(The Watch)

[@runrickyrun157]

Everyone here is high, right?

[@sunfaestardust8548]

⚔️☀️🌙🌌✨

[@coreymack6208]

ANIME

[@AlyxGlide]

Sauron likely will be Annatar for at least ½ the next dumpster fire money filled season

[@KizzMyAbs]

ROP is trash won’t even be tuning in unless they fire the showrunners and reboot this series
