The thing about Galadriel's hair: In Medieval Europe, knights would ask for a lock of hair from their lady as a keepsake, as a form of courteous love. That custom keep going well into Victorian times, where people would take locks of hair from loved ones they had to be separated for a long time, and made them be fashioned into brooches, pendants or rings to always wear with them. Here Gimli humbly asks for a single strand of hair. Many years ago, Galadriel had an uncle who asked for the same thing so he could fashion some special jewels, but since she could see people's personalities she saw that he was, deep down, a nasty person, so she denied him three times. The uncle found another way to make those jewels anyway, and those were so precious and valuable they sparkled a very long war that ended up with a destroyed continent and Sauron's boss being kicked out into the Void. But when Gimli asked for a single strand of hair, she gave him three. Then the dwarf encased the strands inside a special crystal, and made it a heirloom for his descendants, as a symbol of friendship between dwarves and elves, who had had an enmity for a very long time.
I'm surprised they didn't understand the significance of that. I suppose exchanging locks of hair is something we assume to be universal but actually isn't.
@rwithinternet Turn of the last century, that is. Yesterday I saw a clip of a child calling the 1990's "the one thousands???" The 19th century must be like a whole universe away for them lol
Others will elaborate I'm sure, but Gimli's request of hair from Galadriel was of immense cultural and spiritual significance, and from that moment on Legolas would have dispensed with all pretense of animosity and considered Gimli to be blood kin- full brotherhood.
This is the one movie I see reactors come back to rewatch and they just feel compelled to share it with new people, new reactions. I love it. I can't think of a better gift to share. It speaks to the power of these films. ✊🏼Love you guys
Aw love the idea of them sharing the movie with their close friends. He wants to watch a reaction just like all of us 😂 hope Naveed and Mansoor get to some spy movies or heist movies soon like the Mission Impossible movies or Oceans 11
Welcome Safeer to the Fellowship of the Ring! I can see that you enjoyed the story very much, stayed engaged and made very good observations and inferences. Like you identified the elves as angels. Saruman as having a fair face but a soul as dark and dirty as an orc. Naveed, as always, let his companion enjoy the movie without influencing or interfering the enjoyment. Look forward to rewatching parts Two and Three with you.
Also. Bilbo was the first to willingly leave it. For Frodo to be willing to give it away to Gandalf, in Rivendale then to Galedriel showed an amazingly strong pure sense of honor and spirit. That is why they were surprised. If they wanted it he would have trusted it with them. They did not trust themselves with it. That was what Galedriel was trying to show. What would happen if she took it from him. For The One Ring, any person to carry it had one purpose. The One Ring wants only to get back to Sauron.
there is a reason why the dwarf was given 3 locks of hair , the most famous of warrior elves was in love with her , and everytime he went away he wouldl ask for a strand of her hair and she refused he did this 3 times, so when gimli asked for 1 strand on hair and instead she gave him 3 shows legolas that gimli is a dwarf who can be trusted and truley called friend to the elves
Wow, Safeer said he is Naveed's best friend, but Mansoor and Naveed have such chemistry that's hard to imagine.

Welcome to The fandom before all fandoms ever existed. The LOTR family. (We aren’t making it up. People will flood your comment section. Everyone who simply reacts to the films or even does any extra videos regarding Tolkien they will find their TH-cam and patreon community will grow by the hundreds and thousands in the span of only a few days. It’s always wild fun to see their faces when they voice their thoughts regarding the wave of love they are hit with when they thought it’d be just another movie reaction like all the others. 😂🤣 Just know that “the elvish languages” were added to the dictionary of world languages. They are fully fledged and so very important among other languages of his that were to restore the ancient languages and cultures of Finland, Ireland, Latin, Welsh, Gaelic, Irish, Anglo Saxon especially with another peoples language in the second movie. (Use extended only.)
There is a lot more character development in the extended edition that ties many things to the other two movies. And let the em hear it with full headset or large surround sound speakers.
I'd like to see Mansoor react with others, too. How about he and Safeer watch Titanic? 😊 And when are they going to watch more Pirates of the Caribbean? Naveed wants to be a pirate! 😂
Pretty much the entire point of reaction videos is to re-live seeing it for the first time through someone else's eyes. So I have no objection whatsoever to re-watches like this, bringing in a new person to join in. Especially if it's a movie like Lord of the Rings, which I love.
Tolkien orcs can be in the daylight, they just don't like to be in the daylight. Orcs are shown fighting and running around in the daytime in the movies and books, and they complain about it at least once in the books (like when they take Merry and Pippin, an orc whines about running in the sunlight and an Uruk mocks him) Uruk-Hai don't mind light, and are faster, bigger, stronger, and smarter than regular orcs.
55:30 esa escena en la que el orco arroja el cuchillo ocurrió en verdad, el actor que interpreta al orco casi mata sin querer al actor de Aragón por qué el maquillaje no le dejaba ver bien y en lugar de arrojar el cuchillo cerca se lo apunto directo a la cara y el ruido que suena a metálico del fondo es por qué por actos reflejos el actor de Aragón desvió el cuchillo.... Jaja la producción de la película tenía que encontrar a alguien que actuara de Aragón pero contrataron al verdadero Aragón 😂😂
For as accurate as these movies are to the books, they couldn’t include literally everything, and two details that suffer as a result are the scene where Gandalf escapes thanks to the eagle, and the fact that Gimli was gifted three pieces of hair. I won’t go into it here, but both of these things actually have to do with the wider lore of the world, and while the movies do suffer from not explaining them, it was best to just leave them as they are, rather than add an extra 15 minutes onto the movie just to explain each one.

Galadriel's gift to Gimli has deeper meaning behind it, like most things in this movie & reflects the expanded lore of the middle earth universe. Galadriel is one of the 2-3 most powerful & wise elves remaining in Middle Earth since the time the land was young. She was born in a place called Valinor, or the Undying land... which is basically the place of residence of the Valar, the local pantheon, the local "gods" as you may call them. Back then, the world was not illuminated by the sun&moon, (only the stars, but rather by 2 trees of gold and silver, Telperion and Laurëlin that lit the world before the sun & moon were born from their last flower & fruit as they were basically killed by Melkor when he struck them with his Lance and Ungoliant the primordial Eldrich Terror, Ungoliant she was named by the Eldar). It is said that Galadriel's hair had somehow captured some of the shine of those two trees. Her uncle Fëanor, who was a great king of the Elven people after his father Finwë was slain by Morgoth(Formally known as Melkor). Fëanor arguably was their greatest craftsman to ever live, asked if she could give him a lock of hair, so that he could use it to fashion 3 gems that would shine of the same light as the trees. Sensing his pride & a shadow that wasn’t exactly belonging to him brewing from within, she refused his request 3 times. He stopped asking and made the gems anyway, managing to complete the task he had set for himself even without her hair. Around these 3 gems, the possession of which became the driving force for many of the great events in the world, entire wars that lasted for centuries exploded, and other events. The gems actively shaped the fate of the races of middle earth to the point that the aforementioned Valar got involved directly. During these times, events surrounding the gems brought about the traditional enmity between Dwarves and Elves... the same enmity that Gimli still feels towards them. That enmity however does not survive his encounter with the wise Galadriel, whom Gimli basically falls platonically in love with. By giving him 3 of her hair, Galadriel is opening a door, offering an olive branch that might one day close the gap that divides these two races. Legolas, himself being an Elven prince and centuries old, knows of the story through his father Thranduil & grandfather Oropher, as it shaped the lives of all Elves, and his subtle smile is possibly the first act of acknowledgment and reconciliation. it is also a way for Peter Jackson, the director of the film, to give a nod to all of the fans who know these facts and backstories... a way to make us feel seen, and to make us appreciate just how deeply the makers of the film respect the books and larger universe created by Tolkien. The thing with the hair may seem weird, but there is a significance to it in real life as well as in the lore of the story. In real life, it was not uncommon for wives, fiancés, or even girlfriends to give their men (who were going off to war), a lock of their hair as a keepsake, particularly in WWI, which Tolkien fought in. The lore part of it comes into play in The Silmarillion, Tolkien's tales of the creation of Arda, the Undying Lands of Valinor, and Middle Earth. Galadriel is many, many thousands of years old, & was born in Valinor before the sun & moon were even created. At the time, the world was lit by two trees, one gold and one silver which would shine at different times from each other, but would shine together once a day when one would fade and the other brighten. Galadriel's hair was said to look like the light of the mingled light from the two trees, which may have inspired Feanor, a master craftsman and heir to the high king of the Ñoldor, to craft the Silmaril's which were three jewels that captured the light of the two trees, one golden light, one silver light, & one co-mingled light. Fëanor had a bit of a thing for Galadriel and begged her for her hair three different times, which she rejected because she could perceive the inner darkness of his heart and rejected him, which made them "un-friends" after that. There is a lot more to the lore than that, so this is the super crib-notes version. But the point is, it was VERY significant that she granted Gimli three of her hairs to a dwarf, when she would not to the son of her king many 10s of thousands of years ago of which she is related to all three kings who were brothers and Elu Thingol of Doriath was one of the brothers that didn’t stay in Valinor even though he was one of the elven ambassadors along with his three brothers and that king I mentioned was VERY close friends with Thingol)
Galadriel’s Gift To Gimli part 2 - ever wondered how old Galadriel is during the War of the Ring? I have looked in many different sources and depending on where you look, she’s anywhere from 17,000-20,000 elf-years old. 6,000 seems too young as it would make her close in age to Elrond, who I know is much younger than her even though he’s 6000-8000 by the third age, which wouldn’t make sense for her at all even if she was (“690 elf-years older” as some kept repeating on the internet making 6960!)As she was around long before Elrond was even born and time was experience differently to say the LEAST as there is a lot to go into on that subject lol.) She was born during the Years of the Trees & back then the years were something like 9X longer than a solar year so I understand the math is hard, especially since she isn’t given an exact birth year. But it is said that Finarfin, her father, was born in Y.T. 1230, so I would assume she was born sometime within 1000 years of then (being generous). Basically, I’m wondering what the most accurate range is for her age during the events of Lord of the Rings. I’ll also add that Galadriel is was around before the ents even existed (of which Treebeard is 15,000 years old so she’s OLDER than Treebeard/Fangorn) or very close to when they were “created” by Yavannah and probably had much knowledge to do with such things and or direct knowledge of what happened. Probably through an early prototype of her mirror or simply another dream that made her long for middle earth all over again ontop of the yearning she already had to go there and explore. Nothing to do with Fëanor’s oath and all that jazz. (So by this current era in HUMAN solar years she’s like. 150,000 to 180,000 years old. Now that makes more sense if she’s going to be older than the sun and moon. Tolkien was always reiterating his manuscripts with the growing scientific discoveries.) Just going from the Appendices (and maybe Silmarillion) she would have to be at least 9000+ years older than Elrond, Elrond was born near the end of the First Age, Galadriel was adult before the destruction of the Trees. Actually, more than that: I just checked, and the Second Age ended in SA 3441. So an elf born literally at the end of the First Age (FA 590) is 3441+3018 = 6459 years old when Frodo leaves for Rivendell. Elrond was born in FA 532, so adds 58 years to get 6517. Elves are mature at 100, so Galadriel adds at leas 632 to Elrond's age, to be at least 7149, and possibly quite a bit more (as attested by other comments.) One fic had Maglor(Elrond’s Adoptive Father, Maedhros was also adoptive father alongside Maglor, they were the eldest sons of Fëanor) - One fic had as much older than Galadriel; I wondered how we knew, and it was pointed out to me that Maglor was the second oldest son of the first son of Finwë, while Galadriel is the youngest child of the third son of Finwë. So, yeah. Note that the second age was the LONGEST and again time was experienced very differently back then too aside from the internal clock of elves working very differently, she’s definitely older as far as the world and the other beings that age far faster around her. I also remind you all that she’s older than the sun and the moon and witnessed & most likely even helped in the Valar’s crafting what would be the vessels of the last fruit & flower of the two trees of Valinor. She was the most involved with learning everything possible from them and it was stated that she learned all there was to learn from ALL of the Valar that they could teach and she mastered all at a deep level. (Wow hey?) She’s 25th generation from Tata one of the elven forefathers to wake to the stars. Their birth was rather shrouded in mist. Only those of her grandfathers ilk have a chance of knowing the origins a bit better as they are closer to that culture that stemmed from the beginning. The Years of the Trees were the second of the three great time periods in Arda that followed the Years of the Lamps and preceded the Years of the Sun&Moon. They were known to be comprised of several Ages and lasted in total around 1500 Valian Years or 14,373 solar years. Time flowed differently back then and time flowed differently within them too for the elves live as long as the world does. Epic hey?❤❤ The Dúnedain said that Galadriel’s height was two rangar, or "man-high" - some 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm). However, Galadriel's most striking feature was her beautiful long silver-golden hair. The Elves of Tirion said it captured the radiance of the Two Trees Laurelin and Telperion themselves. Galadriel was said to be the tallest female in Middle Earth, at 6'4”. But then Thingol was the tallest elf ever to live, and he's estimated to be almost 9' (274 cm) Thingol was also a very very prominent figure within the Silmarillion and other books. He’s the great ancestor of Elrond+Arwen and through Aragorn being directly but distantly related to Elronds Twin Brother Elros it makes him loosely connected to Thingol as well. Let’s just say he died a tragic death long long ago. I’m a continent that doesn’t exist anymore. The events I spoke of in my earlier story of Elrond about his fathers deeds, which lead to the Valar helping with putting a Stop to Morgoth for good so to say and that War Of Wrath lasted 80 years straight and it left the landmass torn asunder from the clash of gods and the holy host of Vanyar elves that were closest to the Valar than all other elves so you can imagine what a bunch of mighty elves men and Maiar fighting a bunch of fowl creatures and beings for 80 years would do to a continent. It all fell into the sea. Galadriel barely made it over the mountain before that part of the story officially broke out.
Her gift mended any rift that was left between elves and dwarves ontop of Legolas friendship with Gimli. Actually Gimli attacking the ring shows it has no hold over him just like the Dwarvish rings out of the 16 meant to go to the elves had no hold over them. So technically they could easily be used offensively and defensively but many disappeared over the ages mainly due to Sauron collecting them back again over the last few thousand years. One or two eaten by dragons (not simple minded beasts here. They were twisted and enhanced beings by Melkor/Morgoth(Saurons Upperclassman as far as the Ainur face goes.). There were only a few of them and their offspring are lesser drakes throughout middle earth. Most recent one you’ll see in The Hobbit movie and one other most recent dragon left of the originally created dragons was Scatha, of which I don’t think Scatha even has wings or could fly in any permanent sort of way. “Evil cannot create. Only twist and warp what is already natural to the world” The thing is with a certain clan of dwarves: A giant set of events throughout the ages caused a huge rift between dwarves and elves since before any elf ever saw a dwarf. Elves are the firstborn. Men are the secondborn. Dwarvish forefathers were created by the hands of one of the Valar named Aulë, then essentially Eru Îlluvatar(AllFather) breathed life into them to later wake up at a later date since Aulë was still excited to create things of his very own. It’s also why dwarves overall can resist the rings power and so forth. There were these beings became known as Petty Dwarves in the books where these beings were super hostile and the elves thought it was just another spawn of Melkor (now Morgoth) so when they finally did see actual dwarves they killed them on site. That and dwarves were keen on chopping down trees by huge amounts so you can kind of see why… but this was only the beginning. But it’s not a very good start. Buuut not all dwarvish clans share this rift as the creator of the 16 rings was an elf named Celebrimbor and is one of the best characters ever. His main smithery guild in Eregion was full of dwarves and elves called the “Gwaith Ír Mirdain”. Even Gimli’s father was really close to a certain elf I won’t name yet! ❤ Not all dwarves were enemies to elves. Galadriel and her brother were best friends with dwarves. Famously the fortress of Nargothrond was built by Finrod Felagund with the dwarves! It was only a certain clan that killed Elu Thingol! (Elwë) Galadriel & her elder brother Finrod Felagund were best friends with the dwarves. Finrod was named Felagund by the dwarves meaning “Earth Hewer” from the fact he helped them build the great fortress called Nargothrond of which he was the elven lord that ruled there justly. Was the same for Celebrimbor and the dwarves of Eregion especially the guild called Gwaith Í Mirdain. His bestie was Narvi the dwarf. Narvi and Celebrimbor created the doors of Moria. Moria is also the elvish name for Khazad Dûm. This gift for Gimli set it into imperishable Crystal and would be the only thing left in middle earth that holds the light of the two trees of Valinor (Valanor by the Eldar). It’s basically the uncursed version of the Nauglamir. He named it The Galadramir. ❤ If you search for 'victorian hair art' then you can see what amazing things people created with hair in the past. Craftsmen as dwarfs were, I imagine that Gimli must have created something beyond exquisite!
How many times have you watched it yourself? Lol me? Dozens. It's for the new fella. I bet Naveed told him all about it and was excited to watch it with him.
Safeer talks far too much. He’s describing every dang shot. He needs to stay off this channel if he’s going to be talking like that. He’s talking more than all the characters in the movie combined! I don’t even know how that is possible.
It doesn't bother me too much (mb due to my ADHD) but his immaturity is what triggers me, I know it could be a cultural difference but smiling during tragic moments crossed the line for me
@@markmuller7962 Just wait til you get to junior high school it only gets worse and by the time you make it to high school maybe you'll realize that you were just as immature as the people you felt compelled to disparage.

Welcome Safeer! Can't wait to watch this reaction
I love the thought of Naveed wanting to talk about this movie with his friend and being like “you know what, let’s roll the camera!”
Its important to remember the ring isn't just a ring but has its own will and intentions. All of them involve corrupting whoever has it.
Also. Bilbo was the first to willingly leave it. For Frodo to be willing to give it away to Gandalf, in Rivendale then to Galedriel showed an amazingly strong pure sense of honor and spirit. That is why they were surprised. If they wanted it he would have trusted it with them. They did not trust themselves with it. That was what Galedriel was trying to show.

(Use extended only.)
There is a lot more character development in the extended edition that ties many things to the other two movies. And let the em hear it with full headset or large surround sound speakers.
I'd like to see Mansoor react with others, too. How about he and Safeer watch Titanic? 😊 And when are they going to watch more Pirates of the Caribbean? Naveed wants to be a pirate! 😂
Guys, your reaction was so amazing and so noble ... 😊😊
Very exciting! I know they'll love this one
I can't wait for him to see the best one. The Two Towers is my favorite.
Great reaction guys from Canada
Love the reaction :)
I hope your friend enjoys. This is an awesome trilogy, as you know.
I hope so too!
Always love watching movies with you guys! Love from Nevada, USA 👍👍
Here we go!
Safeer seems like a nice young man. All of the reactions on this channel are from kind people. Its a great channel, so please continue. ❤
Excellent reaction.
good to see other villagers enjoying
You know he going to love this amazing movie.
Where they filmed this in New Zealand. They actually do Lord of the Rings themed tours.
Awesome reaction of my favorite The Lord Of The Rings movie!!!!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
So good!
"Another young boy too"
-Yeah...about that...
Pretty much the entire point of reaction videos is to re-live seeing it for the first time through someone else's eyes. So I have no objection whatsoever to re-watches like this, bringing in a new person to join in. Especially if it's a movie like Lord of the Rings, which I love.
I'm wondering what did Naveed notice on his second watch, that he didn't notice the first time. Maybe ask him in the end of part 3?
Nice job guys
Not to be rude, but, i really miss Mansoor. xD
Hits harder the second time tbh 💯
Next The Lord Of The Ring Extended Edition Of The Two Tower Extended Edition
46:55 Those orcs are special because they can be in the daylight. Orcs cannot be in the daylight before them.
Tolkien orcs can be in the daylight, they just don't like to be in the daylight. Orcs are shown fighting and running around in the daytime in the movies and books, and they complain about it at least once in the books (like when they take Merry and Pippin, an orc whines about running in the sunlight and an Uruk mocks him)
Uruk-Hai don't mind light, and are faster, bigger, stronger, and smarter than regular orcs.
Welcome Safeer❤; but I miss Mansoor 😭😭😭🥲
I don't think he's gone. He took the day off.
Love this..❤️❄️✌🏻
55:30 esa escena en la que el orco arroja el cuchillo ocurrió en verdad, el actor que interpreta al orco casi mata sin querer al actor de Aragón por qué el maquillaje no le dejaba ver bien y en lugar de arrojar el cuchillo cerca se lo apunto directo a la cara y el ruido que suena a metálico del fondo es por qué por actos reflejos el actor de Aragón desvió el cuchillo.... Jaja la producción de la película tenía que encontrar a alguien que actuara de Aragón pero contrataron al verdadero Aragón 😂😂
Cold Mountain please! It’s an amazing movie full of talented actors
Welcome Safeer😊
I hope to see you two reacting to the others movies.
Did they react to the extended edition?
For as accurate as these movies are to the books, they couldn’t include literally everything, and two details that suffer as a result are the scene where Gandalf escapes thanks to the eagle, and the fact that Gimli was gifted three pieces of hair.
I won’t go into it here, but both of these things actually have to do with the wider lore of the world, and while the movies do suffer from not explaining them, it was best to just leave them as they are, rather than add an extra 15 minutes onto the movie just to explain each one.

You don't know the importance of Gabrielle's hair.😊
Galadriel's gift to Gimli has deeper meaning behind it, like most things in this movie & reflects the expanded lore of the middle earth universe. Galadriel is one of the 2-3 most powerful & wise elves remaining in Middle Earth since the time the land was young. She was born in a place called Valinor, or the Undying land... which is basically the place of residence of the Valar, the local pantheon, the local "gods" as you may call them. Back then, the world was not illuminated by the sun&moon, (only the stars, but rather by 2 trees of gold and silver, Telperion and Laurëlin that lit the world before the sun & moon were born from their last flower & fruit as they were basically killed by Melkor when he struck them with his Lance and Ungoliant the primordial Eldrich Terror, Ungoliant she was named by the Eldar). It is said that Galadriel's hair had somehow captured some of the shine of those two trees. Her uncle Fëanor, who was a great king of the Elven people after his father Finwë was slain by Morgoth(Formally known as Melkor).
Fëanor arguably was their greatest craftsman to ever live, asked if she could give him a lock of hair, so that he could use it to fashion 3 gems that would shine of the same light as the trees. Sensing his pride & a shadow that wasn’t exactly belonging to him brewing from within, she refused his request 3 times. He stopped asking and made the gems anyway, managing to complete the task he had set for himself even without her hair. Around these 3 gems, the possession of which became the driving force for many of the great events in the world, entire wars that lasted for centuries exploded, and other events. The gems actively shaped the fate of the races of middle earth to the point that the aforementioned Valar got involved directly. During these times, events surrounding the gems brought about the traditional enmity between Dwarves and Elves... the same enmity that Gimli still feels towards them. That enmity however does not survive his encounter with the wise Galadriel, whom Gimli basically falls platonically in love with. By giving him 3 of her hair, Galadriel is opening a door, offering an olive branch that might one day close the gap that divides these two races. Legolas, himself being an Elven prince and centuries old, knows of the story through his father Thranduil & grandfather Oropher, as it shaped the lives of all Elves, and his subtle smile is possibly the first act of acknowledgment and reconciliation. it is also a way for Peter Jackson, the director of the film, to give a nod to all of the fans who know these facts and backstories... a way to make us feel seen, and to make us appreciate just how deeply the makers of the film respect the books and larger universe created by Tolkien.
The thing with the hair may seem weird, but there is a significance to it in real life as well as in the lore of the story. In real life, it was not uncommon for wives, fiancés, or even girlfriends to give their men (who were going off to war), a lock of their hair as a keepsake, particularly in WWI, which Tolkien fought in. The lore part of it comes into play in The Silmarillion, Tolkien's tales of the creation of Arda, the Undying Lands of Valinor, and Middle Earth. Galadriel is many, many thousands of years old, & was born in Valinor before the sun & moon were even created. At the time, the world was lit by two trees, one gold and one silver which would shine at different times from each other, but would shine together once a day when one would fade and the other brighten. Galadriel's hair was said to look like the light of the mingled light from the two trees, which may have inspired Feanor, a master craftsman and heir to the high king of the Ñoldor, to craft the Silmaril's which were three jewels that captured the light of the two trees, one golden light, one silver light, & one co-mingled light. Fëanor had a bit of a thing for Galadriel and begged her for her hair three different times, which she rejected because she could perceive the inner darkness of his heart and rejected him, which made them "un-friends" after that. There is a lot more to the lore than that, so this is the super crib-notes version. But the point is, it was VERY significant that she granted Gimli three of her hairs to a dwarf, when she would not to the son of her king many 10s of thousands of years ago of which she is related to all three kings who were brothers and Elu Thingol of Doriath was one of the brothers that didn’t stay in Valinor even though he was one of the elven ambassadors along with his three brothers and that king I mentioned was VERY close friends with Thingol)
Galadriel’s Gift To Gimli part 2 - ever wondered how old Galadriel is during the War of the Ring? I have looked in many different sources and depending on where you look, she’s anywhere from 17,000-20,000 elf-years old. 6,000 seems too young as it would make her close in age to Elrond, who I know is much younger than her even though he’s 6000-8000 by the third age, which wouldn’t make sense for her at all even if she was (“690 elf-years older” as some kept repeating on the internet making 6960!)As she was around long before Elrond was even born and time was experience differently to say the LEAST as there is a lot to go into on that subject lol.) She was born during the Years of the Trees & back then the years were something like 9X longer than a solar year so I understand the math is hard, especially since she isn’t given an exact birth year. But it is said that Finarfin, her father, was born in Y.T. 1230, so I would assume she was born sometime within 1000 years of then (being generous).
Basically, I’m wondering what the most accurate range is for her age during the events of Lord of the Rings. I’ll also add that Galadriel is was around before the ents even existed (of which Treebeard is 15,000 years old so she’s OLDER than Treebeard/Fangorn) or very close to when they were “created” by Yavannah and probably had much knowledge to do with such things and or direct knowledge of what happened. Probably through an early prototype of her mirror or simply another dream that made her long for middle earth all over again ontop of the yearning she already had to go there and explore. Nothing to do with Fëanor’s oath and all that jazz. (So by this current era in HUMAN solar years she’s like. 150,000 to 180,000 years old. Now that makes more sense if she’s going to be older than the sun and moon. Tolkien was always reiterating his manuscripts with the growing scientific discoveries.)
Just going from the Appendices (and maybe Silmarillion) she would have to be at least 9000+ years older than Elrond, Elrond was born near the end of the First Age, Galadriel was adult before the destruction of the Trees.
Actually, more than that: I just checked, and the Second Age ended in SA 3441. So an elf born literally at the end of the First Age (FA 590) is 3441+3018 = 6459 years old when Frodo leaves for Rivendell. Elrond was born in FA 532, so adds 58 years to get 6517. Elves are mature at 100, so Galadriel adds at leas 632 to Elrond's age, to be at least 7149, and possibly quite a bit more (as attested by other comments.)
One fic had Maglor(Elrond’s Adoptive Father, Maedhros was also adoptive father alongside Maglor, they were the eldest sons of Fëanor) - One fic had as much older than Galadriel; I wondered how we knew, and it was pointed out to me that Maglor was the second oldest son of the first son of Finwë, while Galadriel is the youngest child of the third son of Finwë. So, yeah.
Note that the second age was the LONGEST and again time was experienced very differently back then too aside from the internal clock of elves working very differently, she’s definitely older as far as the world and the other beings that age far faster around her.
I also remind you all that she’s older than the sun and the moon and witnessed & most likely even helped in the Valar’s crafting what would be the vessels of the last fruit & flower of the two trees of Valinor. She was the most involved with learning everything possible from them and it was stated that she learned all there was to learn from ALL of the Valar that they could teach and she mastered all at a deep level. (Wow hey?)
She’s 25th generation from Tata one of the elven forefathers to wake to the stars. Their birth was rather shrouded in mist. Only those of her grandfathers ilk have a chance of knowing the origins a bit better as they are closer to that culture that stemmed from the beginning.
The Years of the Trees were the second of the three great time periods in Arda that followed the Years of the Lamps and preceded the Years of the Sun&Moon. They were known to be comprised of several Ages and lasted in total around 1500 Valian Years or 14,373 solar years.
Time flowed differently back then and time flowed differently within them too for the elves live as long as the world does. Epic hey?❤❤
The Dúnedain said that Galadriel’s height was two rangar, or "man-high" - some 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm). However, Galadriel's most striking feature was her beautiful long silver-golden hair. The Elves of Tirion said it captured the radiance of the Two Trees Laurelin and Telperion themselves. Galadriel was said to be the tallest female in Middle Earth, at 6'4”. But then Thingol was the tallest elf ever to live, and he's estimated to be almost 9' (274 cm)
Thingol was also a very very prominent figure within the Silmarillion and other books. He’s the great ancestor of Elrond+Arwen and through Aragorn being directly but distantly related to Elronds Twin Brother Elros it makes him loosely connected to Thingol as well. Let’s just say he died a tragic death long long ago. I’m a continent that doesn’t exist anymore. The events I spoke of in my earlier story of Elrond about his fathers deeds, which lead to the Valar helping with putting a Stop to Morgoth for good so to say and that War Of Wrath lasted 80 years straight and it left the landmass torn asunder from the clash of gods and the holy host of Vanyar elves that were closest to the Valar than all other elves so you can imagine what a bunch of mighty elves men and Maiar fighting a bunch of fowl creatures and beings for 80 years would do to a continent. It all fell into the sea. Galadriel barely made it over the mountain before that part of the story officially broke out.
Her gift mended any rift that was left between elves and dwarves ontop of Legolas friendship with Gimli. Actually Gimli attacking the ring shows it has no hold over him just like the Dwarvish rings out of the 16 meant to go to the elves had no hold over them. So technically they could easily be used offensively and defensively but many disappeared over the ages mainly due to Sauron collecting them back again over the last few thousand years. One or two eaten by dragons (not simple minded beasts here. They were twisted and enhanced beings by Melkor/Morgoth(Saurons Upperclassman as far as the Ainur face goes.). There were only a few of them and their offspring are lesser drakes throughout middle earth. Most recent one you’ll see in The Hobbit movie and one other most recent dragon left of the originally created dragons was Scatha, of which I don’t think Scatha even has wings or could fly in any permanent sort of way.
“Evil cannot create. Only twist and warp what is already natural to the world”
The thing is with a certain clan of dwarves: A giant set of events throughout the ages caused a huge rift between dwarves and elves since before any elf ever saw a dwarf. Elves are the firstborn. Men are the secondborn.
Dwarvish forefathers were created by the hands of one of the Valar named Aulë, then essentially Eru Îlluvatar(AllFather) breathed life into them to later wake up at a later date since Aulë was still excited to create things of his very own. It’s also why dwarves overall can resist the rings power and so forth.
There were these beings became known as Petty Dwarves in the books where these beings were super hostile and the elves thought it was just another spawn of Melkor (now Morgoth) so when they finally did see actual dwarves they killed them on site.
That and dwarves were keen on chopping down trees by huge amounts so you can kind of see why… but this was only the beginning. But it’s not a very good start. Buuut not all dwarvish clans share this rift as the creator of the 16 rings was an elf named Celebrimbor and is one of the best characters ever.
His main smithery guild in Eregion was full of dwarves and elves called the “Gwaith Ír Mirdain”. Even Gimli’s father was really close to a certain elf I won’t name yet! ❤
Not all dwarves were enemies to elves. Galadriel and her brother were best friends with dwarves. Famously the fortress of Nargothrond was built by Finrod Felagund with the dwarves! It was only a certain clan that killed Elu Thingol! (Elwë)
Galadriel & her elder brother Finrod Felagund were best friends with the dwarves. Finrod was named Felagund by the dwarves meaning “Earth Hewer” from the fact he helped them build the great fortress called Nargothrond of which he was the elven lord that ruled there justly. Was the same for Celebrimbor and the dwarves of Eregion especially the guild called Gwaith Í Mirdain. His bestie was Narvi the dwarf. Narvi and Celebrimbor created the doors of Moria. Moria is also the elvish name for Khazad Dûm. This gift for Gimli set it into imperishable Crystal and would be the only thing left in middle earth that holds the light of the two trees of Valinor (Valanor by the Eldar). It’s basically the uncursed version of the Nauglamir. He named it The Galadramir. ❤
If you search for
'victorian hair art' then you can see what amazing things people created with hair in the past. Craftsmen as dwarfs were, I imagine that Gimli must have created something beyond exquisite!
OK, I'm confused.
Is this a new or old review ?
Please do them one after the other
Is the other person you watch this with a friend or relative. Just curious as I got the idea he was your best friend.
you have to watch return of the king
This is my favorite story and it's so well written that I wish you could read it for yourselves in English.
It's been translated into most languages, I believe
The translations won't be the same though.@@revangerang
@@jaelynn7575 fair enough
👍🏻👍🏻
Did you guys watch all the Harry Potter movies?
They haven't watched any I don't' think. They need to though.
This would be incredible
Why are we rewatching this and jaws? There are so many movies still to watch to start reruns
:)
Why are they watching it again?
New member watching for the First time
How many times have you watched it yourself? Lol me? Dozens.
It's for the new fella. I bet Naveed told him all about it and was excited to watch it with him.
I know it could be a cultural difference but Safeer appears too immature for me to watch his reactions
Why?
What are you asking dear?
Safeer talks far too much. He’s describing every dang shot. He needs to stay off this channel if he’s going to be talking like that. He’s talking more than all the characters in the movie combined! I don’t even know how that is possible.
Bro wants him to stare at the screen and say nothing for 2 hours
It doesn't bother me too much (mb due to my ADHD) but his immaturity is what triggers me, I know it could be a cultural difference but smiling during tragic moments crossed the line for me
@@markmuller7962 Just wait til you get to junior high school it only gets worse and by the time you make it to high school maybe you'll realize that you were just as immature as the people you felt compelled to disparage.
You could start your own channel and get who you want in there or purchase stock in the production company maybe?
