Thanks for watching guys! Onto the original Star Wars trilogy, Clone Wars and Two Towers. If you could stick some watchtime or engagment on this vid would really help us out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3_cf6ynnNCanpo Watch the Fellowship from the beginning: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXXGl5yMgtmZpbc

Hoping for a season 3 just for Charlie's reactions

[@evanbartlett1]

Charlie's takes are so much better than the actual show. I want to say your comment is for a laugh, but I think it's more just spitting facts. This channel is likely my favorite on KZbin.

That bit in the beginning where Gandalf is reading from "Tolkien" about Sauron's goo reincarnation is some of your best work! Some of it was like Alex's narration in Clockwork Orange! Can't believe you are getting up towards a million subs.. GOT seems like yesterday. Great work!

If only amazon had done even a little bit of research, they'd found that "Tolkien derived the name Gandalf from Gandálfr, a dwarf in the Völuspá's Dvergatal, a list of dwarf-names. In Old Norse, the name means staff-elf."

[@justforever96]

I don't think they care. They assume most of the audience are morons and they think the ones who actually know and care are just lame nerds who need to get a life. They wouldn't even make this if it wasn't mysteriously popular with people. They don't know why, but they know it is, and they can make some money. And they might as well "improve" it at the same time.

[@topbloke1683]

and sauron would never refer to himself as sauron because its basically an insult

I've been rewatching this a view timesand Have to say this: I really appreciate the work you put into season two! These small comments you drop about the booklore, shows how much you prepared for season two. I am still amazed, how a parody done by one man in his home flat (not trying to play down the work you put in, which was clearly a lot) can feel so much more authentic than the one with the billion dollar budget.

Any deep fake haters need to watch this. Great use of tech and combined with Charlie's spot on impressions its an imersive experience, when binging these videos i totally feel like its the actual characters.

[@TrueTV911]

Charlie - i have an idea - I let this run as background noise like I do with the short ones sometimes anyway - and I heard you ask us to do that if we could - so that works out either way - but on these full comps - maybe throw in some bonus stuff every few minutes as an incentive to watch (rewatch) these - would make it better for us and give it more replay value

[@topbloke1683]

or stop re releasing content across all your channels and put out some new content that you have on your patreon to keep viewers interested instead? its better than literally asking people to play your videos, you should of been way over a million subs ages ago before you went onthis patreon sidequest and ruined it, i know others who also dont even click your new videos anymore as its usually a re release with a different thumbnail and title, your views dropped loads as you were getting millions before, this content is absolute gold and you are throwing it down the toilet all for a few quid on patreon it doesnt make sense, ive been a sub for way over a year now i am a huge fan so its sad to see your intentions are completely money related

Charlie - when will you add a caricature of Professor Tolkien, sitting in watching these videos???? I'm sure a LOT of us would like to know how he'd react to all this!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!

[@justforever96]

I feel like that risks being offensive or disrespectful. These are fictional characters. And the humor comes from his subverting their characters, is he supposed to play Tolkien straight? If he changes him to make him funny he's probably showing him negatively, if he plays the part straight then he's just appearing to represent a great author who is no longer alive. It seems inadvisable to me. That and what do you base the character on? The short bits of interviews he did? All I know is that people think it's messed up when they used CGI to put Tarkin and Leia back into Star Wars after the actors died.

Because people were making hundreds of accounts, many times that many in some cases.
