❤️BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY❤️ JOHN 15:18-21 18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.
He keeps calling him Mr. Frodo because Sam worked for Bilbo. More exactly, the Gamgees (Sam's family) worked as the groundskeepers to the Baggins estate, so the relationship between Sam and Frodo reflects this sort of "My dad works for your dad" kind of relationship. Even though Frodo doesn't make it a big deal, Sam is always sure to show a level of societal respect for Frodo.
British society was, and maybe still is, very class oriented. Tolkien intentionally based Sam on a servant, or batman, that he had as an officer in World War I. NOtice how nobody gives hardly a second thought to Sam. The HObbits are the common man in this story and Sam is the commonest of them all.
@@johronok4067 true except that merry n pip are in their twenties. Sam’s in his thirties. Tho thirties to hobbits is like twenties to us, but just saying. It is something that bugged me in the movies, tho they did a great job, Frodo seeming so young n baby faced was always off for me. Faramir first taking Frodo n sam then releasing them. Glorfindel saved Frodo, not Arwen. Frodo NEVER sends Sam away. If anything their friendship was even tighter in the book. They disagreed about trusting Gollum, sure, but they only separated by accident in Shelob(giant spider)cave. And, the battle of the shire, where Saruman actually dies. It seemed important that it was showing the evil even touched the far away, peaceful lands of the shire. Also the movie didn’t do a good job of showing the darkness that Sauron covered the land in, so during the battle at helms deep when Gandalf arrives with help, and during the battle in Gondor when Rohan arrives, the sun breaking through the darkness is a turning point to both those battles. No Tom Bombadil bothered me. And, in the books, Bill the pony was a character. They were actually sad to leave him at the mines of Moria and later save him on their way home. Not a big deal but a detail I always really liked ☺️
@@Bear78420 What makes for a good movie and what makes for a good book are not the same thing. I think Jackson did an excellent job at keeping what he needed, knowing what had to be cut, and knowing where he could make changes. You have to remember 98% of the people who watch these movies have never read the books, nor will they ever. To add all the things you mentioned would unnecessarily bloat the story and lead to a bunch of incredibly long slow boring stretches of movies. It might please the book fans to see those moments, but it makes the overall movies objectively worse, especially for the much larger non-book reading audience.
@@KS-xk2so Sadly, I’ve never been able to finish any of the books except The Hobbit (maybe one day. It takes a lot of patience, and I can only read as fast as I can narrate it in my head). My brother, who’s read and re-read all of the books in the series, says Tom Bombadil is, in his view, the “soul” of the book, and a key figure thematically; that without that character, the meaning of the story is changed completely. A workmate of mine said something similar. Then again, other avid Tolkien fans have told me that Bombadil is peripheral, and more of a side story within the story. I won’t have an opinion until I complete reading at least the first book, but I can see how to some people axing that character in particular could kind of ruin the movie(s) for them. Obviously, people interprete the books’ meanings in quite a few ways. I only relay this to say that depending on what gets cut (I agree, it would be nearly impossible not to cut some things; perhaps quite a lot) it might actually make the films worse, not better. But, until someone creates remakes some day, which I wouldn’t rule out, and makes very different decisions than Jackson did, we can’t compare to know. For me, I more or less enjoyed the series, but did feel like the length(s) were a bit tiring. And the one book I completed, The Hobbit, was absolutely amazing! Way better than any of the screen adaptations by far. Just my opinion.
Christopher Lee was like 6’5” i think. He was a fantastic actor. He was the only one that had ever actually met Tolkien. He read the books every year and wanted to be gandalf but was clearly a better Saruman. I can’t imagine anyone else being saruman.
He is also who James Bond is based on, is a direct descendant of Charlamagne, can duel professionally with swords, has done a Metal album, and a million other crazy feats
He calls him Mr. Frodo as Sam works for the Bag End estate of which Frodo is the proprietor. It is a sign of respect, although the are good friends as well.
@@eddipl5055 In the book, it takes Frodo 17 years to finally get around to leaving the Shire after he finds out Bilbo's ring is the One Ring. In the movie, Frodo gets going a lot more quickly, so he is still 33 or 34 at most.
@@bmoak no. After Frodo inherits the ring Gandalf leaves to investigate, and do other things. It’s 17 years when Gandalf returns and Frodo learns from Gandalf that it’s the One. Frodo then delays a few months and does leave until after his birthday in September.
Girl this trilogy was one of those movies that helped me during this pandemic, aside from Narnia and Raimi's Spidey lol. Thank Jesus for this powerful film, it has a lot of reflections. It touched me spiritually. Congrats on your book btw.
When Sam calls Frodo "Mr Frodo", it is not a age thing, it is an English class Master/Servant relationship thing. Sam is working class gardener employed by the Baggins family. Sam is showing deference/resepect for the Baggins family by addressing him as Mr Frodo. You see Sam's and Frodo's relationship changing from a Master/Servant to a mutual respect and companionship by the end of this movie and beyond.
Instead of a happy meal it's more like three Big Mac meals...after the first one you're kind of tired, the second on is just a slog, and by the end of the third on you don't even want to finish it.
Ah the 1977 movie- a perfect child's comfort meal of chicken nuggets mac n cheese and a sweet with a big glass of milk. It may be short and not complex, but it is so much better than 3 Big Macs!
The only chance I had to give a "first time watch" of Lord of The Rings to a friend, he had a pet bird that had a little heart-attack and died the moment the wraiths started screeching at Frodo. The poor thing just fell over dead, done with life. As that kind of brought it to an end I consider any first time watch to be good so long as no more birds die in the process. In other words... nice one! Congrats!
Boromir aint wrong though: The armies of gondor have been fighting armies of orcs for a long time... keeping them at bay while the rest of the world was mostly not paying attention until fellowship of the ring
Boromir is 100% right, he knows Mordor better than any of them (yeah Elrond was there but long time ago). Boromir is also right - realistically there's no way bunch of hobbits or even full fellowship could successfully accomplish this mission, and it makes no sense to send the ring directly to Sauron. But yeah, with the power of plot armor they made it... all of them, except poor Boromir.
OMG what a wonderful costume with which to watch LOTR!!!!! Gandalf is ancient beyond words. He predates the world. He and the other wizards (and Sauron) are the equivalent of Angles (Sauron of course is Fallen). But Bilbo is over a hundred years old!
Your joy while watching this brings a huge smile to my face and I just love your costume! I grew up watching these and it was such a phenomenon that people never seeing them before kind of baffled me but now I get to bask in the joy of others experiencing them! So thank you!
You are so adorable and your energy is so bright! I felt genuine joy and giddiness just from watching you. Thank you so much for making this video, it was a breath of fresh air in a world that is suffocating.
5:15 Please note; while it is not mentioned in the movie; from the time Gandalf leaves The Shire to seek information on the One Ring to the time he returns, 17 years pass. Frodo was 33 at the time of Bilbo's 111th birthday, the year of a Hobbit's coming of age, or age of majority. He (Frodo) leaves on his adventure at the age of 50, the same age Bilbo left with the Dwarves on the Quest of Erebor.
While that is the case in the books, I don't believe the movie follows that same idea. Similarly, Frodo is cast to be around the same age as the other Hobbits, while in the books he is a few decades older. Changes made for the movie I'd assume.
Gandalf is an ancient being, not really human (a Maia), so it's not really surprising that he wouldn't have visibly aged much. Hobbits do live longer than most humans on average, but not that much longer.
Tolkien was a devout Christian, but felt the loss of ancient spirituality in his culture, in the small towns of England, and tried his best to bridge that lost mysticism with Christianity. I think he did a beautiful job. If you want more details on that, you're gonna have to buckle down and read The Silmarillion. Or find someone's very detailed notes. Lol. That extra stuff will also explain why it's actually totally normal that Gandalf doesn't appear to have aged. If that sparks your further interest. 😉 As a kid sent to CCD every Saturday for 8 years, the story of this world (all books, notes, histories and appendices) softened the bitterness that the Catholic church seeded in me as a child. It's the most beautiful marriage of paganism and Christianity and i appreciate Tolkien so much.😭😍
Somebody said something along these same lines (I think-)... But the Hobbit is like a good snack, while Lord of the Rings is a full course with dessert.
"I feel like either way, they're gonna stick out like a sore thumb." The village of Bree is right next to the Shire, and there are hobbits who live in the town, so not really unless they do something to draw attention to themselves... Oh, wait... Lol!

Note that while Peter Jackson & Co. give the Elves and the Hobbits pointy ears, there's nothing in Tolkien's writings to suggest their ears were shaped any differently from Men's ears. Hobbits are described as not normally wearing shoes because "their feet had tough leathery soles and were clad in a thick, curling hair, much like the hair of their heads, which was commonly brown."
In fact, Tolkien wrote a letter to his publisher about possible illustrations for his books, and described hobbit ears as "slightly pointed and 'elvish'".
@@Gutslinger Yes. To be fair, Tolkien wrote that in a letter, it's not actually in his books, so some people might not be aware of it. But "Peter Jackson & Co" were correct, and followed the author's intentions, when they gave hobbits and elves slightly pointed ears.
@@stormwreath Yeah, that's understandable. Sounds like there's an insane amount of pieces of details of Tolkien's world both inside and outside of the published works.
Loved that reaction, but did you react to the theatrical cut or the extendet cut? The first movie is no huge difference but a pro tip for The two towers and The return of the king is to watch the extendet cuts. 😁 Well worth the extra play time.
The fact that the ring has a voice and personality of its own in the movie (it was more subtle in the books) was something my now ex-wife loved about this movie. Also, you think it is strange seeing Elrond after seeing the Matrix, watch Pricilla Queen of the Desert. You will never look at Elrond the same again!
The reason Gandalf did get ant older is because the wizards are not human. Simple answer is that they are angels in disguise, commanded to guide the races of the mortal world in the form of old men (so they don't interfere with the development and understanding of the mortal races).
2:05 Interesting. I just started to listen to a little of the audiobook, and I thought the book said Bilbo and Frodo were distant cousins.. And they had the same birthday. Sept 22nd. Bilbo was turning 111, and Frodo was turning 33, which is the "coming of age" for a Hobbit.
Great reaction. Sam calls Frodo Mr Frodo because that was the lower classes did to the higher classes back in Europe back in the day. Sam is the archtypical "Loyal servant" character. Its an idealized version of the class system to be sure.
For someone who’s seen “The Hobbit” you only seem to have come away with a crush on Legolas. The prequel featured Frodo, Gollum, Saruman, Elrond (whom you recognised as Agent Smith), Rivendell, Gimli’s dad, Sauron (aka the Necromancer) and his ring-wraiths, Galadriel … it even mentioned Strider. You did recall the trolls, however, so I guess that’s something. 🤦♂️
Since you saw Raiders of the Lost Ark. was it already mentioned or did you know... the actor that played Sala that mentioned the poisoned dates that killed the monkey is same actor that is playing Gimli the Dwarf here
the "Mr. Frodo" thing has nothing to do with age in this context, it's hard for us Americans to understand it, but it was a thing in some cultures of the past(such as the time in which Tolkien grew up in England and before that as well) it was proper to refer to someone who was say a land owner as "Mr.", especially if, as in Sam's case, you work for that person, after all Sam is Frodo's gardener, which is more explicit in the book, the movies turned their relationship into more of a "drinking friend" thing, but it wasn't that in the books at all. Frodo was Sam's employer, and Sam was very loyal to him, and yes his friend, though that more or less developed as they went through their journey together. Watch or read any Jane Austin stories and you'll get a lot more context for the social dynamics of the Shire, as it is very similar.
Not only that Frodo is significantly older than Sam. Frodo was in his 50's I think and Sam was just out of his tweens (which means early thirties for Hobbits).
@@ronweber1402 Well Sam was 39, and yeah Frodo was 50, but it had very little to do with that. In the books you will notice even Sam's Dad(the Gaffer), who is much older than Frodo, referring to Frodo as "Mr. Frodo" after Bilbo leaves, and of course calling Bilbo "Mr. Bilbo" before that as well. So, really it's not an age thing, it's more of the standing in the social construct of the time(which again was basically similar to that of England back at the turn of the last century and before).
Sam is 38, Frodo is 50, but Hobbits live longer than Men. Sam calls Frodo, Mr Frodo because Sam is his gardener (employee/servant) BUT also it speaks to an old relationship between an english officer and his battman (you will need to look this up, it's whole own thing))
They were only scared of fire on weather top because they thought Gandalf was with Aragorn because Gandalf's ring is the ring of fire. Aragorn knew that, so he took them by surprise.
Bilbo and Frodo are related but more distantly than the film suggests. They refer to themselves as uncle and nephew because otherwise it would take 5 minutes to explain the genealogy. Both Bilbo and Frodo are related distantly to Merry and Pippin as well.
Gandalf arrives at Rivendell. Elf: "Is that my dawg?" Gandalf: "Elves really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you."
I just found you TH-cam chanel and I'm very excited to see your reaction for one of my favorite movies of all time!

I cannot wait to see your reaction and I hope that you enjoy this Masterpieces of cinema! 👍
Nah. She keeps laughing at all my favorite emotional and scary scenes. My favorite reactors are the ones who are emotionally invested on what's happening on the screen. Jokes are fine once in a while but not every 10 seconds.
Very new here. Like few minutes new. And just wanna say the reactor is very pretty and her cosplay makes me feel like I'm really in a fantasy world. Love it.
You need to remember, though, that hobbits live longer than we do and apparently develop slower - they call hobbits in their 20's "tweens" and look at them much the same way we look at teenagers. At the birthday party Frodo turns 33, which for hobbits is like our 21. So 50 for a hobbit is like maybe late 30's for us - solid adult, but not at all old yet.
Human or Elf, you are an attractive woman. The outfit look very elvish and elegant. I'm sure glad you didn't decide on a dwarf costume; I doubt you'd enjoy wearing a big, bushy beard. Really enjoy your enthusiasm for the movie. I'm sure you're gonna feel so many emotional highs & lows before you're done with that trilogy.
Im curious why you made two parts, but didnt even watch the extended editions of these movies. Like.....no other reaction channel dared do that disrespect 🥺
You are BY FAR my favorite lotr reactor out of all of the ones I've watched. You actually get into it, which is so much fun. By the way, every time you excitedly yell Legolas's name... I'm with you. 100% hear you LOL
It is my first time on your channel. This video got in my algorithm. I just scrolled downnyour list and every thumbnail is just epic! xD haha. I got a feeling I will like your channel very much. Edit: I was right lol. Gonna go through your channel to watch everything xD
I don't know if this is spoiler because I thought everyone know it but the movie do not explain it so I don't know if is spoiler: Gandalf is basically an Angel sent by god with all the other 4 mages...and he is something like 10•000 years old so yeah, he dosen't age.
Please do the extented editions for the two towers & return of the king ^^ And please react to matrix 2 & 3 ^^ The trailer for the fourth one is coming tomorrow :)
@@Californiablend Alright ^^ But please react to the matrix sequels. The trailer of the fourth one has been released ^^ And it's coming in december 2021. So careful with the spoilers for matrix 2 & 3 ^^

Somebody said something along these same lines (I think-)...
But the Hobbit is like a good snack, while Lord of the Rings is a full course with dessert.
Frodo is technically paying Sam as his gardener, though they're friends on top of that.
I think you might be the only human in existance who watched The Hobbit movies before Lord of the Rings.
"I feel like either way, they're gonna stick out like a sore thumb."
The village of Bree is right next to the Shire, and there are hobbits who live in the town, so not really unless they do something to draw attention to themselves...
Oh, wait...
Lol!
"This ain't no party city!." Yo I dead ass love you lmaooo. Keep doing the content. All love from NY
Your elf cosplay is perfect.
Trilogy Of The Lord Of The Ring Extended Edition:
(1) The Felloship Of The Ring Extended Edition
(2) The Two Tower Extended Edition
(3) The Return Of The King Extended Edition
Trilogy Of The Hobbit Extended Edition Of Adventures Of Bilbo Baggin:
(1) An Unexpected Journey Extended Edition
(2) The Desolation Of Smaug Extended Edition
(3) The Battle Five Armie Extended Edition
So in the English society of the time, Sam as Frodo's Gardner, it was customary as an employee to address one's employer as "Mr."
And specifically, Bilbo (as the head of the household) would be 'Mr Baggins' while Frodo (as Bilbo's adopted son and heir) would be 'Mr Frodo'.
I hope you will watch the extended versions of two next films, because you will miss many scenes without it
Extended versions are worse than theatrical versions, most of these scenes were removed for a reason (not just time)
Note that while Peter Jackson & Co. give the Elves and the Hobbits pointy ears, there's nothing in Tolkien's writings to suggest their ears were shaped any differently from Men's ears. Hobbits are described as not normally wearing shoes because "their feet had tough leathery soles and were clad in a thick, curling hair, much like the hair of their heads, which was commonly brown."
In fact, Tolkien wrote a letter to his publisher about possible illustrations for his books, and described hobbit ears as "slightly pointed and 'elvish'".
@@stormwreath Thus meaning that his elves did have pointy ears, and proving the original comment to technically be wrong?
@@Gutslinger Yes.
To be fair, Tolkien wrote that in a letter, it's not actually in his books, so some people might not be aware of it. But "Peter Jackson & Co" were correct, and followed the author's intentions, when they gave hobbits and elves slightly pointed ears.
@@stormwreath Yeah, that's understandable. Sounds like there's an insane amount of pieces of details of Tolkien's world both inside and outside of the published works.
Loved that reaction, but did you react to the theatrical cut or the extendet cut? The first movie is no huge difference but a pro tip for The two towers and The return of the king is to watch the extendet cuts. 😁
Well worth the extra play time.
I reacted to the theatrical cut
Beautiful elf!
Lmaooooo your comment at 10:38 had me 😂😂😂 also cute reaction & outfit!
Wow! Couldn't pay attention to the review bc You make one lovely elf!🔥🐺🔥
Even with those ears 👂 You still look Good 😂
Thank you for the reaction video :)
The fact that the ring has a voice and personality of its own in the movie (it was more subtle in the books) was something my now ex-wife loved about this movie.
Also, you think it is strange seeing Elrond after seeing the Matrix, watch Pricilla Queen of the Desert. You will never look at Elrond the same again!
You are hillarious! 😂 your intro! I love it.
The reason Gandalf did get ant older is because the wizards are not human. Simple answer is that they are angels in disguise, commanded to guide the races of the mortal world in the form of old men (so they don't interfere with the development and understanding of the mortal races).
Honestly, what awesome cosplay for this! Double points for style on top of the fun reaction!
Welcome back, Gandalf the Grey... We have been expecting you...
It's the first time that I watch a reaction from someone who saw the Hobbit trilogy, but not LOTR. I'm interested to see what you think.
you don't seem to be taking this react very seriously- these films having a very loyal following...
You´re so funny and wholesome. Thank you for these reviews. 😊
2:05 Interesting. I just started to listen to a little of the audiobook, and I thought the book said Bilbo and Frodo were distant cousins.. And they had the same birthday. Sept 22nd. Bilbo was turning 111, and Frodo was turning 33, which is the "coming of age" for a Hobbit.
Great reaction. Sam calls Frodo Mr Frodo because that was the lower classes did to the higher classes back in Europe back in the day.
Sam is the archtypical "Loyal servant" character. Its an idealized version of the class system to be sure.
*Britain. It's how British upper class treated ordinary people even during Tolkien's time.
is there no full reaction available? :)
Look for the Beren & Luthien and the Lay of Nimrodel for some of Tolkien's poems put to song. I recommend clamavi de profundis.
Great reaction love the costume .. if I might be so bold as to say your spirit and smile are absolutely beautiful
For someone who’s seen “The Hobbit” you only seem to have come away with a crush on Legolas. The prequel featured Frodo, Gollum, Saruman, Elrond (whom you recognised as Agent Smith), Rivendell, Gimli’s dad, Sauron (aka the Necromancer) and his ring-wraiths, Galadriel … it even mentioned Strider. You did recall the trolls, however, so I guess that’s something. 🤦♂️
Omg just accept that people are not into this trilogy as you are.
Since you saw Raiders of the Lost Ark. was it already mentioned or did you know... the actor that played Sala that mentioned the poisoned dates that killed the monkey is same actor that is playing Gimli the Dwarf here
the "Mr. Frodo" thing has nothing to do with age in this context, it's hard for us Americans to understand it, but it was a thing in some cultures of the past(such as the time in which Tolkien grew up in England and before that as well) it was proper to refer to someone who was say a land owner as "Mr.", especially if, as in Sam's case, you work for that person, after all Sam is Frodo's gardener, which is more explicit in the book, the movies turned their relationship into more of a "drinking friend" thing, but it wasn't that in the books at all. Frodo was Sam's employer, and Sam was very loyal to him, and yes his friend, though that more or less developed as they went through their journey together. Watch or read any Jane Austin stories and you'll get a lot more context for the social dynamics of the Shire, as it is very similar.
Not only that Frodo is significantly older than Sam. Frodo was in his 50's I think and Sam was just out of his tweens (which means early thirties for Hobbits).
@@ronweber1402 Well Sam was 39, and yeah Frodo was 50, but it had very little to do with that. In the books you will notice even Sam's Dad(the Gaffer), who is much older than Frodo, referring to Frodo as "Mr. Frodo" after Bilbo leaves, and of course calling Bilbo "Mr. Bilbo" before that as well. So, really it's not an age thing, it's more of the standing in the social construct of the time(which again was basically similar to that of England back at the turn of the last century and before).
Love that you dressed up for this reaction
Just discovered you and I am LIVING for your costume. Great job! Subscribing!
Thanks for watching! Welcome to the channel!
Tolkien did amazing world building in his fantasy. The whole story starts in the Silmarillion.
Sam is 38, Frodo is 50, but Hobbits live longer than Men. Sam calls Frodo, Mr Frodo because Sam is his gardener (employee/servant) BUT also it speaks to an old relationship between an english officer and his battman (you will need to look this up, it's whole own thing))
I love your outfit queen you are amazing keep up the good work 😁😊
They were only scared of fire on weather top because they thought Gandalf was with Aragorn because Gandalf's ring is the ring of fire. Aragorn knew that, so he took them by surprise.
16:01 Fuel to run the forges and mills used to make weapons and armor.
Bilbo and Frodo are related but more distantly than the film suggests. They refer to themselves as uncle and nephew because otherwise it would take 5 minutes to explain the genealogy. Both Bilbo and Frodo are related distantly to Merry and Pippin as well.
This showing up in the TH-cam algorithm made my day liked and subbed.
Thanks for watching! Welcome to the channel
I love the dedication haha
Gandalf arrives at Rivendell.
Elf: "Is that my dawg?"
Gandalf: "Elves really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you."
The outfits are terrific lol. Keep up the excellent work Californiablend.
im wondering if justtrustash started a trend lol , she looks gorgeous though so its a good one
@@30goals yea she's a very pretty lady but also funny as Hell too. Take it easy R.I.B
Thanks so much!
Ok but she looks majestic!
Holy freakin' shit! You are soooooooooooooo awesome! Yasssssssssssss black elf!!!!!!
I just found you TH-cam chanel and I'm very excited to see your reaction for one of my favorite movies of all time! (The Lord Of The Rings) and I must say JESUS you are BEAUTIFUL! 😍⚘ (can't take my eyes off of you 🤩 wow) ok enough of that! I cannot wait to see your reaction and I hope that you enjoy this Masterpieces of cinema! 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
What is he gaining from ripping down all these trees? Firewood.
You look breathtaking , kudos
"I woulda thrown Isildur into the Mount Doom." (you speaking everyone's mind)
This is my first time on her channel and omg I love her personality 😂❤️ I was laughing the whole time
Thanks for watching! Welcome to the channel!
Nah. She keeps laughing at all my favorite emotional and scary scenes. My favorite reactors are the ones who are emotionally invested on what's happening on the screen. Jokes are fine once in a while but not every 10 seconds.
Ok so I watch a lot of LotR reactions, you're the first person I've heard rap the one ring poem, and I am HERE for it. Lol
Very good reactions thank you
Very new here. Like few minutes new. And just wanna say the reactor is very pretty and her cosplay makes me feel like I'm really in a fantasy world. Love it.
You are so pretty! Also, you just convinced me to watch the trilogy once again. I've been watching it since 2nd grade. 24 now. 🤣
Sam calls him Mr, because he was frodo's gardener, and in the book frodo is around 50yrs old..
You need to remember, though, that hobbits live longer than we do and apparently develop slower - they call hobbits in their 20's "tweens" and look at them much the same way we look at teenagers. At the birthday party Frodo turns 33, which for hobbits is like our 21. So 50 for a hobbit is like maybe late 30's for us - solid adult, but not at all old yet.
Wow, nice work on the costume, there! :-) you look beautifully elven, I think; ethereal, and mysterious :-)
Thanks for watching!
Human or Elf, you are an attractive woman. The outfit look very elvish and elegant. I'm sure glad you didn't decide on a dwarf costume; I doubt you'd enjoy wearing a big, bushy beard. Really enjoy your enthusiasm for the movie. I'm sure you're gonna feel so many emotional highs & lows before you're done with that trilogy.
Too awesome !!
16:00 the trees are for the fires M'Lady. And the fires to forge the weapons of war.
Edit: I see you got it yourself
I think maybe you make the most beautiful Elf maiden. LOVE IT!!!!! :)
10:20 yes they're not even toughing each other xD
A beautiful woman enjoying Lord of the Rings. I like this.
Im curious why you made two parts, but didnt even watch the extended editions of these movies. Like.....no other reaction channel dared do that disrespect 🥺
yaaas girl I’m telling you this is one of the best stories of all time! Also love that you are Christian too and your outfit? 🤌 so good
Great entrance!
Soooooooooo many points for the 'ring rap'!
You might want see the Hammer horror films, Christopher Lee did a lot of Dracula movies.
_"Does Gandalf die??"_
No. At least not here, he dies later.
Except he doesn't.
Well, he does.
But he comes back.
It's a whole thing :D
You are BY FAR my favorite lotr reactor out of all of the ones I've watched. You actually get into it, which is so much fun. By the way, every time you excitedly yell Legolas's name... I'm with you. 100% hear you LOL
Thanks for watching!!
It is my first time on your channel. This video got in my algorithm. I just scrolled downnyour list and every thumbnail is just epic! xD haha. I got a feeling I will like your channel very much.
Edit: I was right lol. Gonna go through your channel to watch everything xD
Welcome to the channel!
I don't know if this is spoiler because I thought everyone know it but the movie do not explain it so I don't know if is spoiler:
Gandalf is basically an Angel sent by god with all the other 4 mages...and he is something like 10•000 years old so yeah, he dosen't age.
You were never late to watch LOTR first time nor were you early you watched it precisely when you meant to
Underrated comment😂
Yo! I like your outfit! Way to theme up!
Please do the extented editions for the two towers & return of the king ^^
And please react to matrix 2 & 3 ^^ The trailer for the fourth one is coming tomorrow :)
I'll have to watch the extended version off camera. It'll take a long time to edit and upload so I'll be using the theatrical versions for youtube.
@@Californiablend Alright ^^ But please react to the matrix sequels. The trailer of the fourth one has been released ^^
And it's coming in december 2021. So careful with the spoilers for matrix 2 & 3 ^^
The Lord of The Rings came first in, 2001 and The Hobbits movie started on, 2012.
