- Hi everyone! :)
Today we are watching The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. This was Tania's first time watching the movie.
Join us along the the first installment in The Lord of the Rings! An epic fantastic adventure trilogy that will leave you speechless.
PLOT: The future of civilization rests in the fate of the One Ring, which has been lost for centuries. Powerful forces are unrelenting in their search for it. But fate has placed it in the hands of a young Hobbit named Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), who inherits the Ring and steps into legend. A daunting task lies ahead for Frodo when he becomes the Ringbearer - to destroy the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom where it was forged.
Sit back and relax while you enjoy one of the best movies we have ever watched!

The movie makes it look like it's only been a few days, but there were 17 years passing by between Gandalf first leaving Frodo and then coming back after having learned about the Ring.
17 YEARS ?!!!! no days ?! DAMN !
i wish they would've done it differently and shown that...
@juliusperseus8612 yeah it could have been established with a quick flurry of seasonal shots.. this also helps to explain why Bilbo looks so much older once Frodo sees him again in Rivendell.
@@FrenchieQc yep.
they should've done that when filming the Hobbit.
Is it Really 17 years ? it's crazy...
(No spoilers) - Firstly: All 16 rings were meant to go to the elves ( which lead to 300-500years of his infiltration & deception down the drain.) but Mairon of the Maiar(primordial angelic beings in simple terms as they are sort of beyond angels) disguised as a high elf named Annatar when he came to the elves pretending to be an emissary from Valinor on behalf of the Valar so it makes sense how alluring the ring is and how strong it’s pull on people is. (A bit too instant in the movies though) Galadriel soon saw right through him and especially when after speaking with him regarding not remembering him when in Valinor long ago where she learned from all the Valar thanks to being dominantly Vanyar/Teleri side over her Noldorin side where she gleaned from that encounter that she did not study under Aulë the Vala with any elf named Annatar ! But later named Sauron by the elves meaning deceiver! After all of this, The three elven rings were made in secret without Saurons touch upon them thanks to Celebrimbor! Remember Gandalf before he became Gandalf was the same species of entity Sauron used to be!! Wow hey?
The Rings in this case, would have lost their powers eventually due to the lack of the One Ring and possibly because they were designed to defeat evil, & evil in the form of Sauron had been defeated twice already in the past.
The Three Elven Rings served their purpose for a long time. Two out of three of them had several different bearers Unlike the other Rings, the main purpose of the Three is to "heal and preserve", as when Galadriel used Nenya to preserve her realm of Lothlórien over long periods. The Elves made the Three Rings to try to halt the passage of time, or as Tolkien had Elrond say, "to preserve all things unstained". I can expand upon this based on any further statements & questions you have for me as a reply to this comment ! ❤
There is problem here with the Rings, the Three were supposed to be never touched by Sauron and that's why they were not corrupting…Sauron had not taken part in their making which made the Three more 'pure' unsullied by his dark power, unlike the Nine and Seven Rings! But Sauron in the show touched the very material they were made of!!! So technically he could have tainted them and corrupted!
Even appendices of Lot tell us the order of making the rings, so they didn't even need the righs to more detailed writings in UT or Silmarillion:
1200
Sauron endeavours to seduce the Eldar. Gil-galad refuses to treat with him; but the smiths of Eregion are won over. The Númenoreans begin to make permanent havens.
c. 1500
The Elven-smiths instructed by
Sauron reach the height of their skill.
They begin the forging of the Rings of Power.
c. 1590
The Three Rings are completed in Eregion.
c. 1600
Sauron forges the One Ring in
Orodruin. He completes the Barad-dûr. Celebrimbor perceives the designs of Sauron.
1693
War of the Elves & Sauron begins.
The Three Rings are hidden."
'Did you not hear me, Gloin?' said Elrond. 'The Three were not made by Sauron, nor did he ever touch them.
But of them it is not permitted to speak. So much only in this hour of doubt I may now say. They are not idle. But they were not made as weapons of war or conquest: that is not their power. Those who made them did not desire strength or domination or hoarded wealth, but understanding, making, and healing, to preserve all things unstained.
These things the Elves of Middle-earth have in some measure gained, though with sorrow. But all that has been wrought by those who wield the Three will turn to their undoing, and their minds and hearts will become revealed to Sauron, if he regains the One."
-
The 3 Elven Rings are not susceptible to “The One Ring” in any direct way.. They’re only tied by fate to lose their power if Sauron is defeated completely & absolutely. As they were made by the elves and as always they make things for a purpose and pour their literal spirit into things they create. So if Sauron is defeated then the three rings power will fade and basically become almost useless or diminished versions of their original design since by this era magic has bled from the world by a huge degree thanks to Morgoth’s poisoning the world itself with his very essence that he poured into it. Called The Long Defeat By The Elves and The Men Of The West.
At 32:00, in the Theatrical version of FOTR, the stone trolls are seen in the background but are not referenced. In the Extended version, Sam calls Frodo's attention to them. In the book, the whole journey from Weathertop to Rivendell takes much longer, and the trolls are seen maybe halfway between the two locations.
My best advice is to stop listening to the dude. Most of his comments were wrong. Let her enjoy the movie please and stop with the false spoilers.
Extended scenes at risk of being missed: 1• Frodo/Sam's first meeting with the elves, providing context for Valinor and the elves journey there, as referenced throughout the films and seen at the end of the Return of the King(connects to the passing of the elves in the beginning of their leaving the shire when Frodo and Sam are near the Old Forest by the Shire which leads them to eventually bumping into Merry And Pippin!
(An epic scene with Gandalf in Rivendell was also removed as well.)
2. Aragorn singing the Lay of Luthien, providing a parallel between the events of the Beren and Luthien and Aragorn's relationship with Arwen of which every reactor channel I’ve seen makes the connection and it pulls them into a deeper understanding of their relationship every single time.
3. Aragorn kneeling at his mother's grave, giving him some additional backstory for the viewer.
4. Gandalf explaining to Frodo about the corruptive power of the Ring, and how it will strain the Fellowship from the inside, foreshadowing Boromir's downfall.
5. Sam singing a lament for Gandalf, providing more emotional weight to Gandalf's death, referencing the start of the movie and strengthening the connection between him and the Hobbits ( also highlights Tolkien's love of song and poetry in the books).
6. Galadriel giving the gifts to the Fellowship, providing context for their appearance in later films, as well as drawing a parallel between Gimli's gift and the events of the Silmarillion (Fëanor & Galadriel).
That’s just the beginning. Including several removed scenes between Aragorn & Galadriel and Aragorn with her husband Celeborn!
7• also the opening explaining Hobbits & their culture to the viewers, so they have a better understanding of these peoples we will be following which also was the direct full chapter called Concerning Hobbits.
The voice at the beginning is Galadriel - She’s older than the sun & moon, learned all from ALL the Valar (beyond angels), that was possible to be taught from them. she always knew there was more to know, to learn and more to create and had a drive to visit the homeland of her forefathers. To the hitherlands. Middle Earth. Where the elves truly were meant to live and mentor mankind for thousands of years so men could be fully ready to take the reigns in being the stewards of the world.
Lhang - name of The great elvish swords you see in the prologue being used in that frontline ebbing flowing strike formation tactic. This shows the skill of these warriors. Some are hundreds to thousands of years old. Their timeless prowess was caught on film perfectly. Awesome right?

Amazing reaction!!
Thank you!! 😁 Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for all the heart stickers. Now I’m curious about your thoughts and questions you’ll post as a reply to my comments. ❤️
Saruman never served Sauron nor bent to him legit in the books. The Gandalf locked in the Tower bit is explained ONLY in the Unfinished Tales Book: In [manuscript-C) The Black Riders arrived at the Gate of Isengard while Gandalf was still a prisoner in the tower. In this account, Saruman, in fear & despair, & perceiving the full horror of service to Mordor, resolved suddenly to yield to Gandalf, & to beg for his pardon & help. Temporizing at the Gate, he admitted that he had Gandalf within, & said that he would go & try to discover what he knew; if that were unavailing, he would deliver Gandalf up to them. Then Saruman hastened to the summit of Orthanc - & found Gandalf gone. Away south against the setting moon he saw a great Eagle flying towards Edoras.
See, the thing is he was always master of studying the enemy & even being able to think like they do to always know exactly the best ways to handle ever situation and so on, but the thing is he didn't just become the enemy, he at this time in a sense for once actually grew afraid of him, probably Sauron did what Sauron did with Finrod Felagund in the duel of visions, (Galadriel’s elder brother who by the way was the most important in the Legendarium & is the main reason the third age even exists) which basically widdled Saruman with various visions of the past and future until it wore him down, but Saruman(Curumo) was the mostly already becoming weary due to what was called The Long Defeat, magic bleeding out from the lands of middle earth and subsequently certain things become less and less possible and the elves begin to go west.
Even the ones who never wished to leave middle earth and many of which were born here by the thousands.
So him also being a student and helper of Aulë of the Valar he was going to fight fire with fire and make a bid for the ring just so Sauron could never regain full power and if Saruman found a way to release himself from his power restrictions even by any small margin or worked with Eru in some way it might have worked out in the end if things went differently enough to where such action from him would be needed.
Ontop of that he was growing ever jealous of Gandalf for he received the Varya from Círdan and prior to that was chosen by the other Valar, Nienna’s chosen champion to go to middle earth. But Gandalf(Olórin back then) refused over and over and exclaimed his fear of Sauron(Mairon), varya I feel would have kindle the heart of Saruman to stay strong as he had been fighting the evils of the world for a very long time since he had been sent to Middle Earth.
And for the is reason Saruman wished to hold the ring at hostage. Keep Sauron from taking back his full strength and basically use it to stave off The Long Defeat.
Saruman is very complex. The Hobbit movies actually shows how he was even 60 years ago during Bilbo’s story. He was one of the main forces thwarting Sauron for over 2000 years. The Númenoreans: the high men of the west; gifted Saruman with Orthanc which was of their making. Now known as Isengard.
-
saruman is actually trying to doublecross sauron. He wants the ring for himself. He thinks he can control it. The little orcs around saruman are from mordor - sauron's orcs sent to help saruman but also to spy on him. The big fighting orcs - the uruk hai - are loyal only to saruman.
Orcs are like that. But its why saruman's orders are a bit vague - to avoid sauron's orcs knowing what saruman is doing. The movies dont make this bit of the story very clear. But notice that, while saruman knows where the fellowship is he never lets Sauron Know.
I really enjoyed your guys reaction,hope you continue this trilogy.Thank you for taking the time to do it,and have a great day.As far as people saying it's a mistake not to do the extended version, your very entertaining so choose what you like
Thank you very much! We really appreciate your nice words :)
@@TnDMultiversepeople suggesting the original edition. The extended edition aren’t doing it out of any hatred. It’s for your major benefit to do so. Tons of the story and foreshadowing and character building resides in those true versions.
If you want more background and more fun, watch the extended versions. The extended version of the final movie is almost a must, because the theatrical version literally cut out the ending of a whole character and important plot developments. Someone not familiar with the books would not notice except for a weird development that makes no sense. But in any case, the extended versions are regarded by most as better.
Peter Jackson wanted people to see the extended (uncut) versions in the theatres, but Harvey Weinstein stopped him. In fact, Harvey wanted just ONE movie in the threatres, not a trilogy. 5 years of court proceedings - and the 'harvey weinstein orc" in return of the king (made at Jackson's specific direction) was the result.
Too many people don’t realize they are arguing in favour of a version of this movies that was only shown in theatres because of legal reasons - not for artistic reasons.
-
Peter Jackson’s passion project team was forced to not show their full content as it would cut into what the cinema CEOs literally called the theatrical edition to get more screen time in and more mulla for themselves. It’s a such a nasty business. 80 percent true that money be the root of all evil. It’s the reason the real pumped out the EE as fast as possible in DVD format before the second and third film hit theatres to get back at Harvey Weinstein, again, they wanted people to see the whole movie which invites feelings of completion in one’s heart.
But he just announced that’s he found 1300 hours worth of footage from a warehouse he finally got access to so we will see more specially made super extended edition cinema extravaganzas that no cinema would pass on the opportunity to ride on his coattails again.
The EE wasn’t just for fans. He literally was adapting the books to film as honestly as possible. the DVD documentaries showed that they didn’t want to cut anything. And weaselled around things to create the EE. (EE is extended edition by the way! ❤️).
Without the extended for the next two films I always say “Good luck missing the Boromir backstory. Good luck explaining why the cloak turns into a rock. Good luck explaining the elves that had explained their current situation since the first film.
It all ties together good luck skipping the gift scene with Galadriel and Celeborn and the extra scenes between Aragorn and Celeborn & Galadriel to Aragorn!”
It’s seriously needed for the film worldbuilding and heightening the stakes. Also, I’d rather have faith people have the emotional and intellectual IQ high enoug to understand it or shall we have changed the title to something else same as how JK was forced to change the title in America to sorcerers stone instead of PHILOSPHER as Americans don’t even know what a Philospher is anymore these days which is sad. Relating to that: Tolkien was very sad about people losing connection to their past and heritage etc!
Hopefully they react to the extended of fellowship all over again and this time get a chance to sit back and truly absorb everything or react to RichieNicksGeeking top ten extended edition scenes from fellowship of the ring.
Waiting for part 2!
First movie for this channel??? Best movie 🍿
Let part two be the extended edition especially if it’s not filmed yet.
Not filmed yet. I will definitely have a look at it!
The movies are masterpieces but they do Isildur some unintentional injustice. (To show consistency of the power of the ring), In book he NEVER succumbs to the ring, he instead spends his time being a fair ruler who practically gave power away to the people INSTEAD of being power hungry. He comes to realize that he is not powerful enough to truly bend the ring to his will. That it will eventually overcome him. Isildur resolves to give the ring to Elrond but is killed on the way to Rivendel. It's a tragic story of a man that tries to right his wrong but ultimately fails.
In the books isildur literally repented and was about to bring the ring to Rivendell and apologize as he recognized it was beyond him even for a great numenorean connected to the faithful line of the mighty Elendil
I preface the prologue & war, other depictions I LOVE, captured the themes WELL, the vibe of the whole trilogy! The significance of the duel between Elendil & Sauron was Nerffed; (He wasn’t some random old bloke in armour getting smacked around) This man was MIGHTY and gleaming with power which you’ll find out in the great videos you’ll soon react to with joy!
* He and Gil-Galad; last true Elven King battled Sauron and slayed Sauron’s physical body and both died in the process. GilGalad was held high by the face for all free peoples to see as he then incinerated his bodily form to a crisp of ash! Isildur was part of the fight too but not as prominently and he just comes up to the body to cut the ring finger off and…. So one example is how easily Sauron is killed in the intro.
* • He's set up as this super powered badass, but all you have to do is cut off his finger? That's not how it went down in the book, where the greatest man-king and the greatest elven-king had to double-team Sauron to strike down his body, but were killed in the effort (Isildur then cuts the ring from the corpse).
Especially for elves the title of king has many meanings & by the Third Age there isn’t a population large enough to even attempt to such a thing as creating a unified kingdom, which would put a target on their backs, let alone many of them are beyond all of that anyway as it’s seen as doing more harm than anything good.
* They also seen what happened when the elves fell upon the swords of their own hubris and passion no matter if it was for the right reasons some of the time. That it always ended up in some sort of tragedy which sometimes even damaged the earth itself.
They had long known about what’s called the Long Defeat as ever since Morgoth’s marring of the land itself; pouring his remnants into it that caused the “magic” to slowly drain away from the land itself, which is sad because for ages several clans of elves were born there. even the greatest ancestors were “born” in middle earth awakening to the stars !
Many of who are left have accepted the next phase of their life which is to become councillors, healers and loremasters to those with the heart to listen and the desire to learn. But above all the guardians and custodians of several things and the world itself for as long as they can remain!❤ The elves “exist” as long as the world does. And Tolkien made it obvious in many ways that it’s our world as he restored Anglo Saxon culture/Mythologies and folklore, and their languages too alongside Irish, Welsh and Finnish mythologies too. Especially Norwegian(of which I am)
This is what Amazon (the show that shall not be named) didn’t deliver either [[AKA the actual story which inspired everything we love into existence with games and movies and books and so forth. Skyrim, elder scrolls, oblivion, Diablo, and world of Warcraft and D&D. And Game Of Thrones was hugely inspired by Tolkien… yet as the godfather of everything and the heart of what caused many peoples lives to be saved cannot get the justice it deserves for adaptations?
People literally conquered cancer because of the books and the trilogy, the books were read to their children for years. All 25 of them. The man was a hugely respected scholar and professor in the world. Translated ancient artifacts and hieroglyphs and petroglyphs and so forth for the government etc.
(JRR Tolkien even rejected being recruited into the CIA several times & he wrote everyone by letter and referenced the dudes who came to him as “little boys who knew not what they got themselves into” which showed his fearlessness.). The readers of the trilogy that came out are who he writes back to despite always replying to everyone back and forth.
Many people have shared the stories regarding these conversations which were past down throughout the family lines of the people who had a personal relationship with Tolkien which was hundreds of people when he was alive. Thousands. (Some are in video format too or happened to be shared later on in the video or comes up during a video about him and his work.
Especially nowadays when many of us came out of the woodwork to defend professor Tolkiens legacy from amazons money grubbing hands and so forth. Giving many channels a new lease on life where some make Tolkien related content now amongst other things they create content wise.
Had a chance to watch all 3 movies extended edition in theater last week🔥 now gonna rewatch with you guys 😄
Lucky you! I would have loved to watch these on the theater!
@@TnDMultiverse you can. There is a giant anniversary happening and extra footage coming out. Even from the documentary. React to Mythwest video about it!
Moths are sacred to the elves. As well as it was contested to Radagast The Brown Wizard who was the champion sent to middle earth by Yavannah (Goddess of Nature itself and who was responsible for creating and nuturing all life, even her song created the two trees of Valinor which predated the sun and moon and to keep it simple acted in the stead of sun and moon. ) with who we know now as Gandalf and Saruman long ago at the beginning of the first age. Gandalf was meant to be the leader but he kept denying the leadership role and so Saruman was given this role for he was fully successful against Sauron for a long time even to this day of the third age. Gandalf openly stated his fear for Sauron (Mairon, his true name.) Olórin is that for Gandalf, Aiwendil for Radagast and Curumo for Saruman.
Vamos! Let's go!
Tania, for your accent when you speak spanish you seem from Spain, and when you speak english too, you have that kind of Spain accent we have when we speak even tought more subtile; and you look aswell like you are from Spain 100%. I'm from Spain but I'm writing in english in case your are not, which would be strange because I would tell you are for sure
Si soy española! :) Ahora viviendo en Australia. Me hace muchísima ilusión ver a más españoles por aquí!
Actually LOTR is a six-movie series, they did the same type of storyline concept as Star Wars where the director films first three films all at the same time then went go back around 60 years following the Bilbo’s journey of how he came across the ring.
Nice to see you again. I tried to find new reactions and the is never popped up for several days. Now I’m late lol
Set up a community page for interaction and even polls. You’ll actually get so much growth and life force energy plunged into your channels veins if you open up such a a tab in your channel.
Done! Thank you so much for your help!
These Peter Jackson films - brilliant as they are - only cover about 0.5% of the events in the JRR Tolkien novel.
Fun fact: when you see the black riders on horses, it is actually 16 year old girls from a riding school 😊.....😅
Hahahahah I better not see those girls even in my life because I will litteraly poop my pants
Great reaction, subbing. So are you both from Australia?
Thank you! Dillon is from Australia. I (Tania) am from Spain :)
@@TnDMultiverse do you take requests?
Can you review the movie Coco, or have you already seen it?
I haven't watch COCO yet! I will add all the requested movies from the comments to a poll so everyone can decide which one we watch after The Lord of the Rings. I will definitely add Coco to it :)
Missing Extended edition is like a whole hours worth of story and character content just completely missed out on… please don’t avoid rewatch or reacting to RichieNicksGeeking top ten extended edition scenes for fellowship of the ring. Even has famous tips to avoid copyright issues too for LOTR.
I will definitely have a look! I feel like we missed a lot of stuff now 😭
@@TnDMultiverse it’d be better to just upload a rewatch and use it as a chance to reabsorb it all and play a game to see which was the extended scenes!

It seems you're not watching the extended version. Big mistake. 😞
Your lovely comment has the most likes yet it’s ratio’ed to the bottom. That’s not right. It should be pinned to the top in all its glory. ❤
This
Not everyone wants to edit all that
@@SoCHobbitthey seem to reply only to some comments and not others. Weird right ?the guy seen it already though.
Sorry, I am new to the Lord of the Ring´s world and I didn´t even know there was an extended version. We will be watching the extended version of the movies coming up after this
Hi guys! When do you think you’ll upload part 2?
Hii! Between today and tomorrow! I am trying to get everything ready for today. Hopefully nothing goes wrong
@@TnDMultiverse thanks for replying to them. I’m still eager to hear your thoughts and questions to my comments. ❤️
Debeis de ver las versiones extendidas . os perdereis bastante contenido.
It seems you’ve seen these halfings before. I’m guessing she is the first reaction.
Dillon has watched them before on his channel (Reel Oz) and now I am watching them with him because some people asked me to do it. And I am very glad I did :)
@@TnDMultiverseyou’ll be happier if you rewatch the extended edition or the RichieNicksGeeking video titled top ten extended scenes from fellowship before jumping to the second movie extended edition which has giant boromir backstory.
Great reaction please no man splaining I want to see her reaction
Mate, you should go sleep a bit and leave the girl in our company. She will be all right, really :)
For me, it's fine if you react to the theatrical versions; they are the ones that won the Oscars. The extended versions have poorly acted and nonsensical non-canonical scenes. You can react to those later.
Big disagree on EE being "poorly acted" and with non-canon.
@@cmdrbrantford888 Sure, if you're a fan of Peter Jackson and not of The Lord of the Rings, so I'm not surprised that you like them. Are you going to tell me you like Saruman's death? HAHAHAHA what a poorly done piece of trash

@@TheMaelstrom1989nah. There are many other important scenes of world building and character building removed from the creepy Weinstein version.
1• Frodo/Sam's first meeting with the elves, providing context for Valinor and the elves journey there, as referenced throughout the films and seen at the end of the Return of the King(connects to the passing of the elves in the beginning of their leaving the shire when Frodo and Sam are near the Old Forest by the Shire which leads them to eventually bumping into Merry And Pippin!
