in the novel where sam carries frodo it says and i quote "His will was set, and only death would break it."

I always wished the movies had the real final battle of the books "The Battle of the Shire". In the books, Saruman doesn't die from falling off his tower. He actually blames the Hobbits as part of the reason for his failure and takes over the shire with bandit men, enslaving all the Hobbits. When the 4 Hobbits come home, they have a wizard and full-grown men to fight against with no help. The 4 free the hobbits, lead a battle against the men, and corner Saruman. Saruman in his pride talks down to the Hobbits using magic only then to be stabbed in the back by Wormtongue (like he did on top of the tower). Also, I'm convinced the "no man can kill me" prophecy on the Witch King was meant to emulate Macbeth's "No man born out of the womb of a woman can kill me". In Macbeth a man kills him, claiming he was born of a C-Section (Which doesn't really make much sense). I feel Tolkeins wanted to fix this and be like, "You could have just used a woman".

random LOTR Lore! (not spoilers) Death means something different for men and elves - when Eves die, they go to a place of rest but eventually can return to world - not reborn but as they are, they bound to the world. Men on the other hand, in death they journey beyond the world, what lies after is hidden to all. when Arwen chooses a mortal life, she chose to be separate from her father and kin even beyond death

And now you know why RotK won 11 of the 11 Oscars it was nominated for (with the Best Picture and Best Director oscars generally considered to be more or less retroactive acknowledgement of the trilogy as a whole). It's tied with "Titanic" and "Ben Hur" for most oscar wins and is the record holder for the biggest clean sweep. I don't know that it needs to be streamed (though if you want to I'd love to see it), but the behind the scenes documentaries for this trilogy are amazingly well done and add a lot, and I strongly recommend watching them at some point.

Something i feel is never really talked about is how Hugo Weaving freaking nailed it when he let Arwen go to Aragon at the end.

MaddMind

I love that you guess a plot point for no other reason than Sam is a real one and you have complete faith in the man. xD

Joseph Sternglass

Legolas only said one thing to frodo in the whole three movies

Lance Ivy

where theres a whip ...theres a way where theres a whip ... theres a way where theres a whip ... theres a way we dont wanna go to war today but the lord of the lash say nay nay nay where theres a whip ... theres a way

Matthew Harms

Always loved this movie out of the three. The feels get me every time, no matter how many times I see it. It is on my bucket list to go to New Zealand and tour the sites were they shot the movies.

Neither frodo nor bilbo were freed from the ring. Frodo continued to grieve over it, and experienced flashbacks and nightmares. Sam basically became frodo's caretaker until frodo and bilbo left middle earth. They left for valinor - basically the garden of eden - essentially to receive hospice care and heal their souls.

Silvia Dragoness

Alicia's effectively spent over 9 hours saying how everyone needs a Samwise Gamgee in their lives. Allow me to "yes, and" that statement. Everyone ALSO needs an Aragorn in their lives.

The Force

Correction to a comment on the previous one. Theoden's speech was one I memorized, but it was Aragorns speech I gave, I totally forgot his speech existed amazingly xD

Cameron Meow

I can't wait for you to watch the Hobbit!

Some more lore nonsense for anyone who cares, the fates of some characters after LOTR. Sam: Served as Mayor of the Shire several times (longest ever serving Mayor I believe) and has 13 children. His daughter Elanor becomes a handmaiden to Queen Arwen. Aragorn gives the Star of the Dunedain (A broach the Rangers of the North wear) to honour Sam in his role of Mayor. When Rosie dies Sam gives the Book to Elanor and sails West to the Undying Lands to see Frodo again, being allowed passage due to having been a ring bearer even if only for a short time. Pippin and Merry: Become the leaders of their families. Both get married and Pippin names his son Faramir (Who married Sam's daughter Goldilocks). They received many gifts from their friends (Such as Eomer and Eoywn). Both held positions of importance, Pippin being Shire-Thain and Merry being Master of Buckland, they where also both Knights of Gondor and Rohan respectively. Towards the end of their lives they travelled to Rohan and then Gondor where they remained til they passed away. After their deaths they are entombed side-by-side with Aragorn's resting place to honour their roles. Aragorn: Became King Elessar, a name granted by Galadriel, and ruled for 120 years. He reunited Gondor and the lost Kingdom of Arnor. Shortly after he was crowned he married Arwen. His reign was a Golden Age and aside from reclaiming old lands and fighting off threats it was also marked by great cooperation between Men, Elves and Dwarves. When his life was nearly over he went to the House of the Kings and handed his crown and sceptre over to his son Eldarion and bid farewell to him and his daughters before dying. Arwen: Became Queen of the Reunited Kingdoms. It was her place on the ship to the undying lands that she gifted to Frodo. A year after Aragorn's death she died of a broken heart in Cerin Amroth in Lorien and was buried there. Gimli and Legolas: Gimli became Lord of the Glittering Caves and lived with Legolas in the Land ruled by Faramir. They bring their respective peoples to Gondor to help rebuild. After Aragorn passed away Gimli was allowed to sail West with Legolas to the Undying Lands. Tolkien himself mentioned how unusual it was that a Dwarf would wish to leave Middle-Earth or that the Eldar would accept them but it is believed that it was granted due to the great friendship between Legolas and Gimli as well as Gimli's wish to see the beauty of Galadriel again (and it's supposed Galadriel persuaded the Valar to allow his entrance into the blessed lands). Eomer: Became King of Rohan and re-swore oaths of loyalty and friendship with King Aragorn. Also Eomer, who had a distaste of Elves, overcame his prejudice and came to see them in a better light. He eventually married Lothiriel, Princess of Dol Amroth, (a human with Elf Blood in her lineage) and had a son called Elfwine (meaning Elf-Friend). He expanded his realm, reclaiming lost territory, and rode to battle with Aragorn many times as Kings. His reign was great and he became known as the Blessed. Faramir: Was named Prince of Ithilien and married Eowyn in Edoras. Alongside the Prince of Dol Amroth he was one of the two highest ranking commanders under King Elessar. He was inherited the Family duty of Steward of Gondor and was a great man at Court as well as being Aragorn's chief Advisor. His grandson Barahir wrote The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen, a story of the great love of the two. Eowyn: Married Faramir and became the Lady of Ithilien. At her insistence Eomer made Merry a Knight of Rohan and she gifted the Hobbit the Horn of Rohan. She had at least one child, a son, with Faramir. I believe she became a Healer and a Gardener after settling in Ithilien. I think that's all the major characters but may have forgotten someone, or someparts, so forgive me if the above isn't complete.

"You bow to no one" is genuinely one of the greatest scenes in cinema ever. Throughout the entire movie reaction, I teared up several times when Aragorn was on the screen because the image of him saying that line popped in my head. This, and Sam carrying Frodo are legit the best moments in film for me.

The Hobbit isn't great but I believe it's worth a watch, just go in with lower expectations and let yourself enjoy it.

Samuel Rowe

Hobbit is basically Bilbo's adventures decades before LOTR. My main complaint about the movie is the Hobbit book is just a simple children's book about a Hobbit going on an adventure with dwarves and a wizard to defeat a dragon. But Peter Jackson tried to make it a big epic like LOTR. Extended the small book into 3 movies. That's not the Hobbit.

Malkalypse

Legolas straight up playing Shadow of the Colossus

JustRiver0o

The Hobbit is up soon!!! I'm so happy!!!

Kyle Junge

I think the Hobbit is overHATED, It's no LOTR true. The original book was meant to be more of a kids book, it had stakes, it had cool moments, it had emotional highs and lows but it was not LOTR and it wasn't trying to be. I think most of the criticism comes from Peter Jackson trying to make it something the source material was never trying to be. That said the movies still have great cinematography, epic moments, emotional moments, fun characters and are decent films in their own right even if they are not the best adaptations. Not on the same level as LOTR but well worth a watch IMO.

Kyle Junge

So it's been a while and i might be misremembering the details. But for the scene where Sam rescues Frodo in the tower and has the ring. One way the ring corrupts is by showing the bearer the way to accomplish the thing they desire most for the world using the power of the ring. Thing is what Sam wants most is for the whole world to be a beautiful garden where he can grow anything and the whole world is nothing but farmers and gardens. While that is what Sam wants, from a logical standpoint he realizes that is ridiculous and the world needs more variety and viewpoints than that to even be able to function. And so the rings temptation fails and he is rather easily able to give the ring back to Frodo. Like I said it's been a while and if my recollections is incorrect feel free to correct me but i think that is just a beautiful showcase of Sam's character!

Kyle Junge

Dunno if you're a reader but if you are then LOTR is well worth a read. I honestly think this is one of the best adaptations ever made but there is a lot in the books that just could not be adapted and yet is worth experiencing. If you are a reader in general then you should definitely check out the books!

Yurei Okami

I never tire of watching LotR. Every rewatch, I feel like a fresh breath of life fills my chest. It's the ultimate tale of hope triumphing amidst despair.

Vik Persson

I have a friend that I have know since university. We have now been friends for more years of our lives than not, over 30 now. We were there for each other's weddings and helped each other though divorces. We were friends before kids and after and now we both have grandchildren. He has been the best friend a guy could ask for and the kind of friend you know you don't deserve. He has been my Sam and I hope I have been his. If you have a Sam in your life be thankful.

James0Zero .

I could not have been more happy to accompany you on this journey. I was so happy to enjoy these movies again and see someone experiencing them for the first time. There will never be anything else like lord of the rings as a film. If you go to watch the hobbit trilogy as well, it's good, but it's no lord of the rings and I don't think anything else ever will be but it's still nice.

Colin Darcas

Is anybody going to tell her these orcs aren't fungi

CatGod101

frodos speech at the end about how you cant go back to how life was after experiencing something like war really hits harder when you know that tolkin wrote this after having served in ww1 and how his life and world would never be the same again

Swervin

57:18 The pre-watch allegations are thriving lol

Rueduciel

Every time I've watched the trilogy through diffrent ages, my favourite character always changes. When I was youngest, it was Legolas and Gimli, then it was Gandalf, then it was Sauron and the Balrog and now that I'm old, it's Boromir and Theoden

ParappaTheNappa

I cant watch the scene of Frodo waking up without remembering that theory that Frodo forgot Legolas's name lmao he obviously knows Merry and Pippen, Gimli comes through the door and he says his name, Legolas comes in, Frodo just stares at him, Aragorn comes in and he says Aragorn lmao

E TheRandom

now its time for the hobbit!!

GoatKing

I think you would really enjoy the hobbit probably

bbyjason

I think you should give The Hobbit films a go. While I don't think they are as good as the LOTR trilogy they are still pretty solid overall. Glad to be here and look forward to hanging with your community, keep it up!

Astral Dragon

I’m new to the Patreon and I decided to start with LOTR because I absolutely love the series. Your reactions were great and I cannot wait for you to watch the new animated movie and The Hobbit if you do because those are also amazing.

Gabe

That scene where all the orcs just start fighting and killing each other is a perfect showcase of why Mordor still hasn't won the war. Like the orcs are insanely numerous, but they keep killing each other instead of the enemies.

Tmac

It's been a blast watching these LOTR reactions. Will we be getting the Hobbit movies reaction as well?

Lv6 Esper

One of my favorite parts during the ending was when the hobbits all went to the pub. You see all the other hobbits being joyous and rowdy like normal except the 4. They sat down in silence just taking in the fact that they're home. Probably thinking about their journey and what they've all been through.

Mewant SnuSnu

The third eagle was for Gollum... :(

DrCatspaw

Why the hell am I crying more this time than I did the first time I saw this?! I blame you Alicia LUL

HKelnix

So GOOOOD PEAK MOVIE PEAK ENDING I also cry to that ending damn sooo goood Thanks Alicia such amazing journey!

Minidiamant

I can't wait for you to watch the hobbit. Also, the extras for the lord of the rings and the hobbits are really good I recommend watching them. Oh and I think the animated movie is pretty good even if some might not agree.

The Dragon’s Lair

In the appendix of the books, Arwen truly did give up her immortality to be with Aragorn. When she fully committed to leaving her people to be with him she started aging at the same rate he did. Because of his long-life (for men) he died at the age of 210. She died 1 year later of old age herself. They had three children together. One son and two daughters.

The Dragon’s Lair

Also, I absolutely love how much you fell in love with Merry and Pippin. From calling them Dumb and Dumber or Beavis and Butthead in the first movie and beginning of the second to cheering for them and loving them in the third.

Skebaba

Why do the subs say [Aragorn sings in Elvish] when he ISN'T? He's reciting an iconic poem/oath in Adunaic, which is the language exclusively spoken by the men of Numenor in the Second Age. While yes by the Third Age Adunaic had got bloated w/ loanwords on top of the original stock, when the oath was made it would have been as it was originally, i.e immediately after landfall from Numenor to the shores of Middle-Earth

Kyllix

The Lord of the rings movies are my favorite movies, and while I can't figure out which of them I like the most or even least, one thing I can definitely say is that return of the king loses the most in the adaptation from the book version. there's just so much missing, from Prince imrahil and the fiefdoms, to Denethor and Faramir's characters, the gray company just cut entirely and the army of the dead being way too powerful, Sam's full heroics at Cirith ungol and the trek through Mordor, and so much more. The whole situation surrounding and following the war is simplified so much. They'd have had to make an extra movie to adapt it fully, but that just wasn't possible. And the whole situation with the shire, Just... Yeah. The other movies suffer from this too, but not to the same level. I still love the movies, they're the best, I just see a version that could have been even better. Also the audiobooks by Phil Dragash are amazing and the Grom scene with the music and chanting added in was just the best.

Zakarin Talvas

Samwise Gamgee! The goatest goat that ever goated!

ShonenJump247

So some fun facts the little girl that runs to Sam at the end was the Actors (Sean Astin’s) actual daughter. Also because he was a Ring Bearer even for a few days Sam also eventually takes a boat to Valinor, The Undying Lands, where Frodo and the others went. As well as Legolas and Gimli. Legolas made a boat for himself and Gimli to use to go as well and Gimli became the first Dwarf to take the voyage to Valinor.

Kyutoko

Awwww, you didn't notice that Sting stopped glowing after Sam stabbed the Orc that was about to kill Frodo.

LordVed

In LotRs, the elves do not die a mortal death, instead, their souls are swept away to the halls of Mandos where they await rebirth in time. The dwarves afterlife is unknown for sure, though they believe that the spirits of their ancient heroes are live on within their descendants. Only the Fate of men is unknown, as true death was Eru's gift to Men. Gandalf is a being created from another. they are two different entities. His Maiar form has lived since before even time and space were a thing. he chose to be reborn as a new entity, one of the Five Wizards sent to guide the peoples of the world when the gods chose to cut the world away from Valinor. At the start of the world, it was flat like a map, with a defined edge, but in the later ages, when men tried to sail to the white shores, the gods folded the earth, connecting the east sea and the west sea, so no longer could you sail to Valinor. Valinor still remains in the west sea, but that sea can only be reached by boats that can ignore the curvature of the earth and sail that sea of old. Those are the white ships the elves leave on. TLDR; Gandolf is old, and the way to heaven is lost without boat Jesus.
