Gandalf returns! at the turn of the tide. A reminder for the competition you need to add #lotrrisetowar to you answer. We've got 3 more episodes of LOTR shot and edited for the coming months you can catch the next 15 min one - The cutting of Tom Bombadil on Patreon now, as well as the first Episode of Kenobi: www.patreon.com/CharlieHopkinson
gonna check out you patron soon for sure. can't keep track of where you stand right now but I cant wait for spicy Thorin to be all moody for the watch party of the hobbit if that happens.
Yep, pretty much. One thing leads to the next, but in effect it's all a habit of laziness, and one excuse stands in for all the rest, because they are essentially all the same excuse. Which is really no excuse, which is why it's always awkward. Why have I still not got my car inspected after five months? Well, it's just never the right time. I'm just too busy, I have all these TH-cam videos to watch on my days off. And I get sleepy in the afternoon. So not it's five months. 17 years doesn't seem that unreasonable, really.
During his 17 year absence, Gandalf formed the beat combo 'Bombadil's Bong' and toured Middle Earth on the back of smash hits like Gondor on My Mind, Entwash Delta Blues, Umbar Girls and Last Cart to Tuckborough. #LotrRiseToWar
I like to think he got distracted in the Library and after reading up on Potatoes he completely forget about the Ring and 16 years later he was like "fuck! and ran back to Hobbiton in a panic. That was why he was so on edge after having forget for 16 years who knows what Sauron had figured out.
I loved Yung Elrond and his "Gandalf Man of Action" speech. You've got Elrond's patterns down pat and for Elrond that's a long speech!!! Just admirable CH.
Long story short, Gandalf suspected that the ring that Bilbo had passed down was a greater ring of power, not the minor ring he had thought of for years. This is partly due to Bilbo's lack of aging, but also his odd behaviour at his home after the party. Gandalf spent the next 17 years researching the various rings of power, enlisting aid in tracking Gollum (From Strider), and checking on Frodo (and the entire Shire in general) every now and again, checking his rate of aging and his mental state. He spent several years trying to find Gollum, when he couldnt, he went to Minas Tirith to research the ring. There he learned that fire could reveal the secret inscription IF it was the one ring. As he was on his way back to the shire to check on Frodo, after nearly 9 years since he last visit, he got word that Strider had found Gollum. This is when he found out what Gollum had told Sauron, as well as how old Gollum was, and where he found the ring - the Anduin river, not far from where Isildur was slain. This all but confirmed his worst fear, that it was indeed the one ring. He rushed immediately to confirm it by throwing it into fire. #lotrrisetowar
Imagine if he had just put the ring into a fire in the first place! I mentioned this in a different comment, but it wasn't 50 years between Isildur losing The Ring and it being found by Bilbo, it was 2500. So Gandalf probably didn't know about that test.

Ah pure gold! Great having these three back on the couch revving each other, especially Boromir’s diagnosis skills and the revelation of his home address of Numenor 😂
Denethor set it up so technically I reside in Numenour 😂. Fuckin genius, I've said it before but this is the best comedy show since The Mighty Boosh. Can't believe you haven't had a TV deal!
Could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain in that 17 years, Gandalf had a stab at acting. Starting out on stage, before being cast as Magneto in the X-Men franchise. After many years of success, he finally returned to the Shire to prove the fame hadn't gone to his head. #LOTRRISETOWAR
Ugh terrible joke. For a start casting & principal photography for X-Men took place before The Lord of the Rings, with the film itself being released a year and a half before fellowship. He WAS in Dance of Death though, you could make a much better joke out of that
According to the films, Gandalf was looking for information pertaining to Isildur's ring to see if it matched Bilbo's. But I like the thought that he went out of his way for an amazon package.
I just love how it's always felt like the 17 year gap was there just to let Frodo "enjoy" his inheritance for a little while instead of the harsh reality that he was very likely sent on the quest almost immediately after Bilbo left.
Gandalf was seeking information about Gollum; tracking his movements, investigating his crimes, (including child cannibalism) and getting Aragorn's help in tracking him down. Finally, Aragorn found him and they interrogated him for all he knew and then dropped him off with the elves in Mirkwood. #LOTRRISETOWAR
And then he escaped. Honestly, the elves in Mirkwood should really look into the security of their prison. Every important character alwaysa find a way to escape and run off while they are incapable to track him down... very sloppy security.
@giacomoromano8842 he had climbed into a tree and his elf guards had no mind to go after him. Then a company of orcs attacked and gollum got away in the confusion. Your point is still valid.

Sam was the true ride or die friend. Not like somebody who abandoned the party because he couldn't be bothered to pull himself up or more likely because he wanted to have some fun playing with a balrog.
Charlie, you are easily my favorite creator and I watch your videos over and over because they are the most entertaining take on my favorite fantasy universes
Elrond isn’t as upset about the inefficiency of Gandalf’s ring research when time was of the essence as he is about the fact that he rode past and didn’t even think to stop for a tea with his old friend.
In the 17 years between Minas Tirith and returning to Hobbiton, Gandalf used his own magic ring to pop over to Hogwarts and beleaguer and harass the quiddich games with his own special cursed bludgers. He was having such a ruddy good time that he almost forgot about Frodo. So he popped back in the nick of it and ran up the walk, which is why he looked so bedraggled and out of breath when Frodo answered the door I know I may be too late but I just had to post this lol
I wonder how different things would have been if Gandalf would have spent just a year in Gondor, returned to the Shire and sent Frodo with the ring right away. They could have started and finished their journey before the war of the ring even started, before Barad-Dur was even finished, before the Ringwraiths would have been sent out, and before Gollum would have been released
I mean, yeah, and if they'd had tanks they'd have won battles easier, but that's not the story, is it? The reason so much time passed is because all travel was by foot or horseback, and to give opportunity to explain the plot without infodumping. Tolkien was an actual professor of writing. Everything in lotr is on purpose.
Actually, the inheritance tax might have been why Bilbo took the mithril shirt to Rivendell. The Ring may not have been evaluated, but we know that shiny bit o’ garb was worth more than the value of the Shire. The tax on that would have been astronomical. (Granted, Bilbo may have kept that and Sting because he was going on a semi-dangerous trip and it’s wise to have some protection…but both can be true!) By giving it to Frodo secretly out of state, I think Bilbo was trying to stick it to the man.
And by loaning it to the _mathom_ house at Micheal Delving he probably could write it off his taxes before that so it wasn't valuated as part of his assets. Sneaky.
Hello, we have chosen our winners for the LOTRrisetowarcompetition but we have had issues with people collecting their prize. You are the next in line, if you could message me via email/social media(instagram) etc. in the next few hours otherwise we will have to select a new winner.
#LOTRRISETOWAR Gandalf rode to Minas Tirith to research the journey of the ring and Isuldurs account then he met Aragorn in Mirkwood whom had captured Gollum and interrogated him about his account of the ring. Keep up the great work Charlie!
3:45, It's even funnier that this skit gave Gandalf full on transmutation abilities to turn Sam into a sentient potato, which is more impressive than anything he does in the actual film franchise in terms of power.
#lotrrisetowar Gandalf during his 17 years played matchmaker for single men. His best match was for Beorn who went on to have a son Grimbeorn. Probably had his father's disposition with a name like that.
Gandalf being only 95% certain that it is the ring of power tells Frodo "hold out your hand" there's only a 5% chance this will burn the shit out of your palm. 12:59
Gandalf was busy for 16 years in a mushroom trip with Radagast and learning his ‘jokes’. Then remembered Frodo and had to high tail it back to the shire
I like that in joke about Boromir not flying as Sean Bean refuse d to take the helicopter( due to fear) up to the snowy Mts scenes and would walk and climb up in full dress!!II empathise fully with him and he did more walking than the other fellows lolz!!
I’m fairness I don’t think Star Wars hit its stride until the end of the phantom menace, so maybe that will be the same here, also Star Wars is more in the news
11:24 Or, like a normal person, he takes 25 years to bring himself to play a game he has put off, as a prelude to start reading something he has put off.
“And he lived happily ever after till the end of his days. P.S. whenever he saw the ring he turned into a little goblin and went completely berserk and couldn’t stop crying, but other than that he was fine” That’s about it
Sam telling us about Gandalf's 1st suggestion was the best I laughed so hard "I"ve thought of a better use for you and then he looked.at Mr Frodo all hungry like, and said Mr Frodo let's eat him and Mr Frodo had to beg him not to do it.
During the 17 years he was away, Gandalf and Aragorn were trying to find Gollum. When they found him, that is when they realised he’d be released by giving up the name ‘Baggins’ and ‘Shire’ from Bilbo and Gollum’s earlier encounter in the Hobbit.
That's actually a good point you demonstrate about Bombadil. It's fine in the books when Tolkien just describes him as constantly singing to himself and more or less singing all his dialogue, but if you think about that in any depth it is hard to imagine how that actually works, unless it's really stupid sounding and annoying like he is here.
_Bilbo holds out his hand._ "Ow fuck!" And drops the ring to the smell of burning flesh. That's how they find out that no, actually it's not the ring after all. Nice of Gandalf to gamble Frodos hand on his certainty that its the right ring.
l just love how it s always felt like the 17 year gap was there just to let Frodo "enjoy" his inheritance for a little while instead of the harsh reality that he was very likely sent on the ques almost immediately after Bibo left

Gandalf being an expert on potatoes after talking about being in a library for 17 years makes so much sense
he was in there 17 years?😊
@@crystalraf theoretically.

We can all relate to Gandalf justifying his procrastination by saying he chased his hat around a field for 4 minutes.
I was actually going to procrastinate at this point, but I figured I could always procrastinate later.

Well, yes, but... *17 years?*
Yes! As much as I love Qui Gon, Obi Wan, and Anakin, Gandalf and the boys are still my favorite.
Thorin sneaking in whenever the hobbit is mentioned is my favorite part 😂
During his 17 year absence, Gandalf formed the beat combo 'Bombadil's Bong' and toured Middle Earth on the back of smash hits like Gondor on My Mind, Entwash Delta Blues, Umbar Girls and Last Cart to Tuckborough. #LotrRiseToWar

I love how Boromir has a blanket on his lap and comes across as a sensitive and kind hearted guy who like Harry Potter.
Seventeen years. Five years to read it all. Six years to ̶r̶o̶b̶ help them. Six years to drink it all and, on the morrow, Hobbiton.
Mind. Friggin. Blown!
I loved Yung Elrond and his "Gandalf Man of Action" speech. You've got Elrond's patterns down pat and for Elrond that's a long speech!!! Just admirable CH.
" I'm not in charge of what the Eagles will and won't agree to help with. They make there own decisions, it turns out they like pranks." 🤣

This is so good. I love it.
During the 17 years he was away, Gandalf and Aragorn were trying to find Gollum. When they found him, that is when they realised he’d be released by giving up the name ‘Baggins’ and ‘Shire’ from Bilbo and Gollum’s earlier encounter in the Hobbit.
“Do not take me for some conjuror of cheap tricks.”

That's actually a good point you demonstrate about Bombadil.

_Bilbo holds out his hand._
"Ow fuck!" And drops the ring to the smell of burning flesh.
That's how they find out that no, actually it's not the ring after all. Nice of Gandalf to gamble Frodos hand on his certainty that its the right ring.
There's actually a textual variant in the Red Book. Instead of 17 years, it was 1700 years.
l just love how it s always felt like the 17 year gap was there just to let Frodo "enjoy" his inheritance for a little while instead of the harsh reality that he was very likely sent on the ques almost immediately after Bibo left
