Martin Freeman does not get enough credit for his portrayal of Bilbo. To me, he’s up there with Elijah, Sir Ian, and Viggo

He has too big a family name to live up to, his dad being the legendary Morgan, you know, even though they don't really resemble each other. Funny innit.

*“And I thought to myself then, there is one I could follow. There is one, I could call king”* That line followed by all of the dwarves standing all at once out of respect, will never fail to give me chills.

[@torreyholmes7205]

It should be noted that in the Fellowship, at Bilbo's farewell party, he tells the hobbit children the story of his adventure with the trolls and how they were turned to stone. And later, after Frodo is stabbed at Weathertop, Sam points out they they are at the site of Bilbo's adventure, and the stone trolls are visible over Sam's shoulder.

[@danielchevere]

Watching Kristen ask the “why didn’t the eagles fly us” made me laugh so much haha the amount of talking that one question has created in the fandom is crazy.

I'm always suprised about the amount of talking on that point. Flying around on eagles is bold and brash and not in the least bit secretive.

[@BeckaraBlackblood]

The red-haired dwarf is Gloin, father of Gimli. And Balin later became the Lord of Moria. It was his grave where the Fellowship fought with the cave troll.

[@thomasrusconi]

What's so great: when Gandalf says "Home is behind, the world is ahead" after Bilbo joins the company, those are the lyrics to the song that Pippin sings to Denethor in ROTK as Faramir's horse company charges to their doom. It illustrates how Bilbo's adventures and tales have become a part of Hobbit culture and their lore.

[@mariaclaragomesdecarvalho4117]

Is this trilogy as good as Lord of the Rings? Definetly not. Does that mean it's horrible? Nope. I understand the criticism and agree to most of them, but there are so many good things about these movies as well. I personally really like The Hobbit trilogy.

[@henriklarssen1331]

But what realy is good about it? Beside maybe martin freeman as Bilbo at times. The bad stuff is just way too much to leave a good movie. I only watched every movie once and was often only watching it on a second monitor.

[@thedarkknight2221]

For me, this is the best performance Andy Serkis gives as Gollum in his career. Not only because the technology finally became advanced enough that the VFX team could accurately capture Andy’s performance with the face camera and tracking dots on his face (which didn’t exist when they filmed LOTR) but he’s playing Gollum who isn’t yet effected by the events and encounters with people he’s had in the LOTR trilogy. He hasn’t had a conversation with a single living thing in almost 500 years, so this is both threatening and exciting for him.

[@--mr4yo]

I wasn't a fan. At this point in the timeline, Bilbo (and therefore the reader/viewer) knows very little about Gollum. Before he is "Smeagol versus Gollum" in LotR, he is JUST Gollum in The Hobbit. He is creepy. He he slimy. He is chilling. Serkis fails to capture Gollum's menace, which is pivotal to his presentation in The Hobbit, instead turning him into a comedy act. He strayed too far from the source material. He's brilliant in LotR though.

[@earth2saka]

@@--mr4yo Serkis simply cannot fail at capturing Gollum's menace. He is a top notch actor. This is how he was directed by Jackson so this is what he did. Jackson fell into the fanservice trap. He saw that people loved Gollum so he gave them Gollum. Everyone is at fault here. The director, the people who even bought Gollum pillows and sheets. Everyone created this monster. But give credit where credit is due. Serkis was fantastic and could have done a book-accurate Gollum with one hand tied behind his back.

[@thedarkknight2221]

⁠@@--mr4yowhat part of Gollum crawling out of the darkness with creepy shining eyes like a cat, slowly dragging a goblin away, and then bashing said goblins head in brutally with a rock isn’t menacing?!

I loved watching the movie because it's wonderful to watch parts of the movie and think "Wow, so that's how this thing led to that event in The Lord of the Rings." I'm looking forward to seeing the next reactions.

[@jgrado3]

Thorin was already a great character in the books but I love LOVE what Richard Armitage brought to the role. Whereas Aragorn was a wise, caring, unassuming ranger who did not want power, Thorin is an imposing, cantankerous, disillusioned highborn who was stripped of his kingdom and wears the hurt of his people on his sleeve. Literally.

[@Jeowyn]

Armitage doesn't get enough credit for the role. I think Freeman, Armitage and Lee Pace basically carried this trilogy between them - even Ian McKellen doesn't seem to be putting in the full effort.

[@mmgringoire2]

Thank you! I love Richard and was so excited when I found out he was going to be in these movies. He deserves so much more credit for his performance. He brought so much authority, presence, and vulnerability to Thorin, especially in the later movies.

[@jgrado3]

@ That’s another contrast I love: Aragorn lost his whole family at a young age whereas Thorin’s relatives are alive and with him on this adventure. His little moments with Fili (grooming him to be the next ruler) and Kili (keeping an eye on the youngest) were spot on. And I love his vibe with Balin and Dwalin. You can feel the history between them.

[@lailaalanna315]

​@@jgrado3it was really great to watch the familial bond between the dwarves. They're so gruff but unfailingly loyal and loving to each other.

[@biguy617]

According to the book, one of the reasons why the Dwarves needed Bilbo is because there are 13 Dwarves and that is an unlucky number. Bilbo makes things 14. The reason why Gandalf has a friendship with The Eagles is because he saved the Alpha Eagle from an arrow. They are in debt ever since. Bilbo’s mother was more adventurous than his father. Father was more grounded. This is why Gandalf picked Bilbo.

[@lilith_3333]

Thanks big guy!

[@OrangJoe1077]

The books give so much more details them movies or tv can ever do

[@BodeFromHell]

The Eagles agree to help Gandalf as a favor, in return for him having saved the life of Gwaihir (The Lord of the Eagles), and they would not take them anywhere near where men lived, who might shoot at them if they flew too close to settlements. They would only transport the Company a short distance to a safer location.

[@ITPalGame]

The actor playing Radagast also was The Doctor during the 1980s. The Hobbit is more of a children's book. Peter did add some sub plots to the movies. There was no relationship with the upcoming female elf, for example. When they are at Laketown, watch for the brief pan-over of the eyepatch spy in the foreground. That's Middle Earth fanatic Stephen Colbert.

[@bobc538]

When you two gasped when Kili wiped his boots on the seat I laughed out loud!!🤣

[@JonathanHawk101]

The eagles are not a taxi service. They have jobs to do. The have orders to follow. They only reason Gandalf in able to call them is because he saved the life of the king eagle many years ago, so they own him.

[@aussiedudeofthesoutheast789]

I made a similar comment, in short the eagles don't know what they're doing and where they're going. Gandalf just used his magic to get the moth to fly and tell the king eagle (thanks for confirming there was a king eagle). They just rescued them and put them on the plateau to keep them safe, that was the safest spot. Also they would be wary of smaug so they wouldn't want the dragon to come after them. So they kept their distance.

[@ZombieFeet]

The Hobbit gets shit on for not being as good as LOTR, but in a world without that masterpiece, this trilogy absolutely stands on its own.

[@henriklarssen1331]

Iam a huge Fantasy fan and tolkien fan. Is this trilogy as bad as Rings of Power? No it isnt. Is it a good movie trilogy? No it isnt. Its a rushed medicore cgi festival and way too long and has way more realy bad scenes compared to a few good scenes.

Remember the dwarf kings were given rings as gifts by Sauron. The rings made dwarf kings more greedy. That's what happened.

Wow Chara actually knew Dragons covet gold! That raises her IQ about 40 points over a lot of other reactors. 6:26 Thorin and Balin actually weren't there, Balin was 7 when Smaug took Erebor, Thorin was older, around 27 or so but he wasn't at the mountain. 29:26 actually this is long before what you saw. You saw the aftermath of Balin taking back Moria, with Ori and Balin in the tomb. Also Azog was actually killed in that battle, the Dwarves pushed them back. The Battle of Azanulbizar happened because Azog beheaded and mutilated Thrór, Thráin II rallied not only an army of Durin's folk but all the dwarves of Middle Earth and for 6 years they destroyed Orc strongholds in the Misty Mountains fighting all the way to the Eastern Gate of Moria. Outnumbered the Dwarves fought hard again and again until Nain arrived with Dwarves of the Iron Hills and they stormed forward driving the orcs to the gate and Nain called out Azog only to be killed by the orc. Dain Ironfoot which you saw briefly, sprang forward beheading Azog at the tender age of 32. Azog's head was put on a pike. Dain looked in the Eastern Gate of Moria and saw Durin's Bane, the Balrog of Moria. The houses divided not seizing Moria and the Dwarves of Durin moved to the Southern Blue Mountains to wait to take back Erebor and Khazad-dum.

[@joshuacordero8163]

The eagles are a proud kingdom, like the elves, and would not consent to be horses for dwarves. They do favors for Gandalf because he and their king are great friends.

[@WasntMeJB]

Just a little tidbit, might help understand the overall feel of these films, The Hobbit was originally written as a children's book, full of wonder ect, where as TLOTR books were aimed at a more mature audience.

[@Big_Tex]

The three movies have tons of non-canon filler, but by far this one had the least, it was actually pretty faithful. The meeting of the wise in Rivendell is not recounted in dialog in the book but it’s alluded to (as the Council of White Wizards). Scenes involving Bilbo are pretty faithful - the book is 95% limited omniscient point of view looking over Bilbo’s shoulder. If there were a cut of the movies with only the Bilbo scenes, it would be pretty faithful. The non-Bilbo scenes are almost entirely the added filler.

[@Rocket1377]

There are fan edits that cut out all the non-canon stuff, turning the whole trilogy into a single two hour movie.

[@thelastone7123]

I'd like to imagine thats what happens when its not retold by bilbo. I mean the trip of gandalf to the dol goldur where he discovered sauron really happened in the books but it just happened way before the hobbit. In the battle of the five armies bilbo was knocked out but still of course the fighting would continue without him. There are things I wished that didn't happen like the love triangle or the dwarves facing smaug in erebor but overall a lot things can be canon.

[@kuhndog63]

[@sharqane]

I love the fact that the entire scene with the trolls doesn't really need to be in the movie, but in the books it was one of, if not the first page (except for the map at the front), to have illustrated pages, so it's highly memorable for all the readers of the book.

[@berky1976]

I love the making of for the hobbit and the lord of the rings. That is why I bought the Blu-ray collectors editions of both. Hours and hours of how these epic tales were brought to the big screen. Also, the playback is mirrored, everything is flipped to opposite side. Plus any words on the screen are backwards like a mirror. I'm not used to seeing that on this channel. Editing error? Love the nails Achara. Hope you ladies have a happy new year. Love the reaction vids.

[@epaitech]

The Hobbit was originally written as a children's adventure story. The Lord of the Rings was later written as a dramatic treatise on good versus evil. The Hobbit was then later retconned to be in the same universe where the magic invisibility ring that Bilbo found is the one ring of Sauron. Other changes to the Hobbit were made to align the story in the same universe.

[@josemanueld5413]

The hobbit was written before the Lord of the Rings and the events of the Hobbit happen before the LOTR events but the film was made after the LOTR

[@aussiedudeofthesoutheast789]

The Hobbit was also written as a children's book, he wrote it that way for his son I believe. Thats why it has songs in it. The LOTR was written as an adults book.

[@BeyondTheFirst10]

01:16:39 At least one other person has commented on this, and I do understand how it is that a good number of reactors wonder: "If the Great Eagles exist, and are friends of Gandalf, why not just fly everywhere?" My conception of why this doesn't happen in Tolkien's universe is that The Great Eagles are servants of Manwë, King Of The Valar (the great souls who hold the immediate governance over The World). Like Gandalf, the Great Eagles are faithful Maiar spirits, and so serve the designs of those whose authority they answer to. It is not their purpose to solve every transportation problem that a Wizard - or anyone - might have. They may grant the requests of others, but they simply aren't "Middle Earth Air-Lyft." In parallel, Gandalf is a being of profound, thoroughly staggering power, but The Valar allow him to use that power only in certain ways. He stirs denizens of Middle Earth to acts of goodness and bravery, both mundane and extraordinary, so that evil will not ultimately prevail. His success in his mission was tremendous if you think about it, but it took a VERY long time to achieve.

So much fun to watch with you two! One small (but I think lovely) tie-in to the LOTR movies (someone else will likely mention this): in Fellowship, when older Bilbo leaves the Shire (after his 111th birthday), Gandalf waits for Frodo in Bilbo's house. He's lost in thought, muttering. One of the things he mutters is "riddles in the dark..." And now you know why he was musing on that topic at that moment... (also, the chapter in the Hobbit book where Bilbo finds the ring is called "Riddles in the Dark") Looking forward to the next episode!

[@Jeowyn]

Martin Freeman tells a great story that when the first film came out, he and his then-partner let their young kids watch the scene where the dwarfs show up at Bag End, figuring it was family friendly. Their six-year-old daughter quickly got upset because "Those dwarves are BULLYING DADDY"! 😂

some fun noncanon recontextualizaton: in dnd, the creation myths of halflings (hobbits) involves that they were created last, and their patron diety saw they were the meakest least aggressive humanoids and would be preyed upon by other peoples, so she literally divinely gave them passive magic abilities of hiding, running through larger creature's legs, being hard to frighten, and luck. they were so adorbziez that a god made them magically super hard to notice or pick on. so in dnd, like lotr, halflings are surprisingly OP. not canon to lotr but real cool to see how dnd interprets what's happening in certain hobbit scenes.
