What Really Happened In The Lord of the Rings Books...

[@H3is3n-gp6gw]

Thank you for this great video. I can tell you put a lot into it. I can't wait for more!

[@yeahaboutthatthough3656]

When words that were spoken in the movies are repeatedly mispronounced, like Dunedain, it starts to sound like an AI voice over, suspiciously.

[@BanXxX69]

Great work!! Thank you for the video!❤😊👍🏽😁🔥

[@edmalone4474]

It was an elven ring, given to him as one of the rings uncontrolled by the one rings. Narya. The ring of fire, inspiration, and the ring able to inspire courage in those lacking it. Thus starting the entire book of the hobit. Awesome story, but seriously check the back story. That’s why Gandalf was able to inspire the dwarves, bilbo, and the fellowship. Lore my man, it matters. 💛

[@nickkardakos1]

dwarven ring Narya? are you sure?

[@TheH8redd]

Yeah, I agree, there are some inconsistencies in his narration. Narya is the ring given by Cirdan the Shipwright, who was an elf, not a dwarf. Sauron only forged the one ring, all other 19 rings were forged by the elves and Celebrimbor. The 3 elven rings were never seen nor touched by Sauron's hand. Sauron, disguised as Anatar, the lord of gifts, manipulated Celembrimbor into crafting the rings, by teaching him how rto craft the rings of power (probably something Sauron learned when he was a Maiar of Aule, the smith). The only ring Sauron ever crafted was the One ring.

[@thestraightroad305]

Narya was one of the Three secretly forged rings made by Celebrimbor for the Elves, NOT a “dwarven ring”!

[@johannespensel9931]

God id love to watch this if it wasn’t for that ai voice.

[@videobooks3]

That's my own voice 😂

[@Mazz3D]

Wow it's gotta be a joke.

[@albarron4022]

Im hoping this voiceover is AI otherwise your pronunciations betray only a perfunctory study of the authors work

[@videobooks3]

In my defense, everyone also hates my pronunciation of names in ASOIAF too 😅

[@malalford]

He's not as true a fan as RainbowDave

[@vc1396]

He doesn't have to be. I agree that the pronunciations aren't good, but he does his research pretty well

[@raraavis7782]

My 9 year old nephew is just starting to take an interest in LotR. I need to brush up on the lore 😅 Gimme all the knowledge, so I can impress him!

[@factorfantasyweekly]

Cool to see another KZbinr doing such a deep analysis! 👏🏼 Don’t worry, everyone comments about my pronunciation too. 😂 My Ohio accent just can’t nail some of these elvish dialects. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@radnelac]

Gandalf carried a dwarven ring?

[@berts558]

no his ring was an Elven ring given to him by Cirdan the shipwright when he arrived as Gandalf in Middle Earth as one of the Astari

[@radnelac]

@@berts558 well aware. The video stated a dwarven ring.

[@berts558]

@@radnelac no biggie it was a rhetorical question I guess, I should have realized and to be fair that would have made me go hmm too

[@Adultindiapers]

No he carried and elven ring

[@Adultindiapers]

​@@radnelacthere's a ton this video gets wrong

[@RealDovamo]

Bro you haven't even read the books ever with how often you're mispronouncing well known shit. Either way a good video otherwise

[@videobooks3]

My only defense is that everyone also hates my pronunciation of names in ASOIAF as well 😅

[@EnricoPallazo]

@@videobooks3ffs stop saying that like it’s any kind of reasonable explanation or defense

Dear god, this must have been an undertaken

[@Tedwardy]

I think this whole thing is Ai generated. He doesn’t even say Dunedin right.

[@thenetherlands5838]

@@Tedwardythe research might have been done without AI. Other than that there was AI involved in the creation it seems.

[@heatseekerx51]

Is anybody else mildly annoyed by the AI voice mispronouncing words? otherwise, a fun listen.

[@videobooks3]

Not AI haha I also mispronounce names in ASOIAF too 😅

[@yeahaboutthatthough3656]

​​​@@videobooks3No one believes that for one simple reason. No one watches movies and hears the correct pronunciations over and over then produces a long format video of themselves intentionally mispronounceing common words for hours. Obvious AI voice-over.

[@mentor397]

So far, a decent video, but if there is really going to be a commercial every two and a half minutes, I'm going to quit long before it's over.

[@peopleskarmasquad1042]

Narya was NOT a Dwarven Ring. It was an Elven Ring. Please correct.

[@anthonylombardo1261]

Your grandchildren are going to love the stories you tell them solely based off your voice.

[@videobooks3]

That's so nice, thank you!

[@kanhaibhatt913]

Its AI.

[@quazzydiscman]

His AI grandchildren...

[@yeahaboutthatthough3656]

​@videobooks3 Accepting a compliment based on an untruth is unethical and wrong. If someone tells you your voice is nice but you used AI, you should let them know its not your voice. With this kind of unnecessary lie, now I question the authenticity of the writing. Did AI do that for you as well? Seems likely.

[@videobooks3]

@@yeahaboutthatthough3656 but it is my voice 😂 it literally took me 6 hours to record all this

[@devineveraert796]

Sauron didn’t make the three Elven rings, they were forged in secret. The nine were a successful endeavor, but the seven arguably failed. The stubborn nature and hardiness of the Dwarves helped them resist the dominion of the One and in the end most were lost or claimed by dragon fire.

[@Adultindiapers]

The 9 and the 7 weren't different in any way. 16 rings were made it just so happened that 9 were given to men and 7 to dwarves. The only failure of the 7 was the lack of knowledge of the dwarves will.

[@nonplayercharacter596]

Dwarven ring?

[@neirdoandrew5344]

Gollum did not agree to give Bilbo the ring. He agreed to show him the way out

[@Kaizen712]

"Dwarvenn ting Narya" Was this a mistake or AI hallucinating?

[@efrenvalle485]

My favorite books and writer period unbelievable real life experiences helped forge these books he was a genuine genius and warrior.

[@__RD14533]

3hrs of the narrator mispronouncing half of the words 😅

[@Adultindiapers]

I wasn't gonna say anything but yeah lol

[@Marko37-73]

I love the films but ever since i read read the books i can’t watch them in the same way. I truly hope one day someone re does the films and keeps as close to the books as possible

[@jenniedarling3710]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this.

[@nuguns3766]

strange skip at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="69">1:09</a>:30 when the page turns. thought u auta know

[@elMentity]

I really love vegging on your videos but daaaamn your pronunciation needs a few tweaks! Khazad-DUMB was a gooder haha. Keep the vids coming all the same 😀

[@yeahaboutthatthough3656]

This person's videos are full of mispronounciations because he ran his text through a cheap AI voice generator. It doesn't know how many of Tolkien unique proper nouns are pronounced. Kaza-dumb is ridiculous.

[@MPCatoMinor]

ahhh the horrors of starting a family hahahaha

[@Glabe87]

I was excited to watch the video... but I can't trust anything I would learn because how poorly some of the pronunciations are.

[@JohnMcCabe-h5e]

Yes! This will be so good if its like ur other videos!!!

[@videobooks3]

I hope so!

[@Evoker23-lx8mb]

For someone claiming to know the “real” story, this video got more than a few things wrong. Enough to make it seem that either the incorrect things were on purpose or this is an AI generated script or narrator.

[@nottsork]

Sorry to complain but please learn how to speak english the letter C as isn cierdan. Is c as in K not S as is the misspelt town tickson (tscson).

[@urban_lioness]

I'm going to take a little bit of a middle road here on this. I love all the time and effort you put into creating this, and especially the fact you exhaustively cite and link all the artists/work you've used. Clearly a lot of time and effort went into putting this together. By that same token, I really wish (and perhaps maybe would be something you consider going forward) that you had taken the additional little extra time to look up the proper pronunciations for all various names and terms. I think it's quite unfortunate something that obviously had so much energy put into it gets tripped up by something so straightforward and simple to address. I got under 4 minutes in before deciding to write this once I finished the video. I still commend what you've put together here and hope you do more, just want the polish to be there too.

[@videobooks3]

@@urban_lioness sorry I'm always butchering the names even in my game of thrones videos 🙏

[@crupt1023]

This is a 3 and a half hour long KZbin video and you're nit picking this guy for not pronouncing FAKE words correctly? Congrats, you win the biggest nerd of the decade award.

[@urban_lioness]

@crupt1023 I...actually first praise them for all the hard work and time they put into this? I made it clear I enjoyed the video still, but just wanted to comment on the pronunciation. If you write an exhaustive 10 page article on a topic, but your grammar is still whack, it needs the little bit of extra fixing no? Same thing. Also sick, yeah I am a nerd, appreciate the award!

[@davidholdaway959]

Pronunciation of some names and words are atrocious. Tolkien himself tells you how to pronounce the characters names

[@beannathrach2417]

Before the Silmarillion was published, 'Maiar' and 'Valar' were names in Appendix A and nothing more. Nobody knew why Gandalf was also named Olorin. When Sil was published, we looked up Olorin and knew for sure Gandalf was a Maia. So many blind references. We did not know the story of Luthien and Beren, nor how that paralleled the story of Aragon and Arwen. It was JRRT's personality he did the work to make the story internal consistent. One example is Frodo gets buzzed by Nazgul in the Dead Swamp. That woven in to make the story consistent with all the events in Rohan that evening.

[@connerbrixey5595]
