    I never took that Pippin shrank to his original size, but rather that Merry grew enough to remain taller than him from the Ent Draft he stole from Pippin.

      That was always my take as well. When Merry says they're "back to normal" at Isengard he's not saying they're back to the heights they were when they left The Shire, rather that they're back to Merry being slightly taller than Pippin.

      yeah - first time reading the book I was waiting and waiting for Galdalf to get slapped by the witch king... And now, watching the movies, that scene feels so against the grain. I actually love the scene with them drinking the Ent drafts, and while I think the movie could have skipped banishing Sam... I do kind of like it and feel like it makes sense in-world, even if Tolkein went a different direction. But Gandalf's moment isn't a character difference... it's a complete flip of a power balance with a leveled-up maiar.

What screwed him over and made him killable in the first place was Merry's enchanted Númenorean blade breaking his magical protection. After that, any random dude could have rammed a blade where is head was and done him in - it's just that there was no dude around to do it, while Éowyn was.

    Yeah, for me it's Frodo casting out Sam. They get seperated because Gollum attacks Sam in the middle of Shelob's lair, NOT because Frodo and Sam fight. That PISSES me off. Their friendship/partnership is way too strong for Gollum to mess with it.

    • @Seriously_Unserious
      @Seriously_Unserious 5 วันที่ผ่านมา +14

      I agree. Having them separated by the combined attacks of Golum and Shelob makes much more sense and makes the encounters much more dramatic and gives opportunities for much more spectacular action sequences. I could never understand why Jackson and his team chose to have them separated in that way, as it only made the story worse, even for the movie medium.

    I always thought that Frodo's threats to Gollum were not actually from him at all, but a rare moment of the ring itself sort of using Frodo as its talking-piece. The ring itself abandoned Gollum because he was "too good" at keeping it concealed for himself. It WANTS Frodo to take it into Mordor, or get caught along the way, & Gollum taking it back underground would undo all of the progress it's made trying to be discovered. So this is an example of the "evil" of the ring spelling out its own doom- it is warning him, "you take me from this hobbit, & I will send you straight to hell", not knowing that this curse it lays upon him will result in Smeagol taking the ring down with him.

  • @Jay-ie9pp
    @Jay-ie9pp 4 วันที่ผ่านมา +19

    This is a load of bull. The "stealth" scene with Sam & Frodo is meant to showcase the elven cloaks the hobbits were gifted by Galadriel that render the wearer invisible to unfriendly eyes. It is 100% lore accurate. And the Merry & Pippin scene was an homage to the Tom Bombadil storyline that was cut from the story due to pacing and narrative concision. Just say, "I have no idea what I'm talking about," at the start of your video next time.

    "Scouring of the Shire" aside, I think they missed a real opportunity when they changed the meeting of the resurrected Gandalf at the edge of Fangorn Forest.
    In the book, Legolas has an arrow nocked and ready to loose because they were not sure who they were meeting. Legolas was the first (I think) to recognize Gandalf the White and he fires the arrow straight up into the air, shouting "Mithrandir", and Gandalf sets the arrow on fire as it flies up.
    That would've been so cool, and it would only take like 5 seconds of screen time.

  • @Seriously_Unserious
    @Seriously_Unserious 5 วันที่ผ่านมา +7

    One thing Gibi seemed to miss which is an important change between the books and the movies is while it's true that Sam never fell and got buried in rocks in the books, their movements DID still attract some unwanted attention from the Haradrim, as some of the soldiers did see rocks sliding down the steep slope from Sam, Golum and Frodo's movements farther up the slope and did to to investigate, and the hobbits did use their lothlorien cloaks for camouflage to help them avoid being spotted. I think Jackson was trying to capture that event in his Sam fell scene, but just want too far into the spectacle that he broke imersion there, which it did have that affect for me too, as I could never figure out how the Haradrim soldiers couldn't see Sam and Frodo as they were going down the slope nor when Frodo was trying to help Sam up before using his cloak to conceal them. Nor did the extent of Sam's burial make any sense. I think that was a scene where the producers got too caught up in making spectacle that the forgot the storytelling they'd been doing elsewhere in the movies.

    I saw the movies before I read the books, I was about 12 or 13 when the Two Towers came out. The scene where Sam falls and Frodo covers him with the elven cloth, always threw me off, even as a kid. In the movies you don't know the elven cloth can act as camouflage, but even still... that and the idea they planned on running through the front door of Mordor was unbelievable.

You see, Quickbeam's rather hasty by ent standards and has already made up his mind to go to war with Isengard. The other, more deliberate ents needed a few more days to finally reach that decision.

    This is where Jackson goes most wrong. He omits most of the ents part of the story, for absolutely no reason, then expands the battle far beyond what it should be (which we’ll get to soon, I expect.) this is what ruins the second film for me, omitting crucial character story for vast amounts of CGI battle. It loses the heart of Two Towers.

    Those men marching to the The Black Gate are another allies of Mordor, Easterlings from Rhûn (as you can see by their samurai-like armor, inspired from Asia which is east from Europe if we compare Middle-earth being that continent, since Tolkien saw Middle-Earth as being a pre-historic version of our own world, The Shire being England and so forth), which is confirmed in the books.
    Also, I don't mind these changes as they serve the movies purpose and I don't see how the omitted material would have worked as a film. The stone slide and the dash for the Gate only for Gollum to stop Frodo and Sam in order to prevent their capture and therefore Sauron getting The Ring back, was added for the sake of drama, as Fran Walsh and Philipa Boyens point out there wouldn't be any drama for them to just be on the cliff standing there. Also, it wasn't really big rocks that buried Sam but rather lots of smaller stones and gravel, so I don't how see that could break Sam's bones (seriously, you're overthinking and overlooking stuff at the same time, no offense).
    I like the scene with Merry and Pippin because of it is lighthearted comedy brought to otherwise quite dark movie with a lot of heavy things going on, plus I like how they referenced the parts that there are in the book plus the homage to Tom Bombadil and The Old Forest. I don't care it didn't happen quite in the book but it works out. While I understand why this scene is just in the extended version, it's still a pity that it wasn't used and it takes a long time for Merry and Pippin to come back after the scene where Treebeard says that he told Gandalf to keep them safe, to when we see them after Saruman have sent his Uruk Hai army to Helm's Deep. Like some have already stated, Pippin didn't shrink back but Merry was growing past Pippin, making them in proportion to their heights as before but doesn't make a big deal about it.

I think it makes perfect sense to merge the Old Forest and Fangorn when they're very similar settings, and it's nice to have Tom Bombadil at least referenced through some of his lines being given to Treebeard. "Heed no nightly noise" is a great line of Tom's that I'm glad they managed to sneak into the films.

      Though I don't remember the ent drink being given to them by Treebeard but rather Quickbeam, while he and the hobbits wait for the rest of the ents to get around to making their decision to go to war. During that period that lasts for days or even weeks, the hobbits are staying with Quickbeam at his house, so since Quickbeam, the hasty ent is not included in the movies, I'd attribute that to also having Quckbeam's role being appended onto Treebeard, along with a few of Bombadil's lines.

    Honestly I didn't mind the changes within the scenes of Frodo, Sam and Gollum at the Morannon. It was a little bit more dramatic than in the book. But in the book it is just dialogue and that might be a bit boring for a movie packed with action. And it illustrated the quality of the Lothlorien cloaks nicely after they omitted that in the scene where the three hunters meet the Rohirrim.
    I was sorry for the character change in Treebeard. I would have liked it much better if they had just kept him as he was in the book. I was quite disappointed when the Ents decided to do nothing and when it needed Merry and Pippin to show them the devastating damage that Sarumans Orks had done to Fangorn Forrest. As if they were completely ignorant about that.
    For me the most awful moment in the Two Towers movie was the completely made up and unnecessary scene with Eowyn bringing Aragorn that disgusting soup. I really hated that. Why can't a woman who is a trained fighter not produce an acceptable soup? Hell! Noone complains about Aragorns culinary skills. But because she is to be established as a shieldmaiden she must be a lousy cook!

    My only problem with the elven cloak scene is that the Easterlings are already walking in Sam and Frodo's direction before Frodo decides to pull the cloak over them. And while it could be that they're behind some larger rocks, it's not clear where the rocks are or what angle the Easterlings are approaching them from.
    This makes it look like Sam and Frodo has such massive plot armour that you could see someone trapped underneath a lot of gravel and sand, watch someone else try to dig them out while you're walking towards them and then conveniently forget everything just because there's now a giant rock where they used to be. What the scene needed was to make it explicitly clear that the Easterlings' vision was obstructed by something else before they got to Sam and Frodo.

    I love both. I understand the many changes Jackson had to make.
    My only “real” problems with the movies are:
    Faramir
    Aragorn pitching a tent in front of Gondor because he refuses to enter the city until “the people” realize he’s king (which he proves through his healing powers)
    Frodo at the cracks of doom: that speech needed to be made. “I have come but I do not choose to do what I came to do. The ring is mine”. I hate it was shortened to just “the ring is mine” and also I hate Frodo fighting gollum to get the ring back. I prefer gollum just falling over the edge on his own and screaming “precious!” as he fell.

      To elaborate on Aragorn:
      In the novel he knows he will be King of Gondor but he is waiting for the right time. Even after the battle is won he recognizes his time has not come…yet. And he refuses to be treated as King until it’s time. The pitching of a tent is a huge moment for his character.
      In the movie his “king-ness” is briefly mentioned at the council of Elrond and in dialogue between Gandalf and denethor and in the made-up scene between Aragorn and Elrond before Aragorn goes into the mountain. Then at the end he has a crown put on his head. Aragorn’s destiny is a very minor plot point on the films. It’s a larger plot point in the novels: hence the name of the third novel

    On the one hand, I definitely agree that elements of the fall down the cliff scene are silly, but I addition to their cloaks, that are sort of supposed to do that, they are Hobbits. Even back in that book, the Hobbits are supposedly notable, at least by Gandalf, for their heightened stealth, and since this seems to be an ability they just "have", even if they are individuals who have never trained it up, I feel like it is probably as much just being beneath the notice of bigger folk, as it is paying attention, and soft steps. Maybe there was also a little bit of providence in there, too. In the end, I also like that it is a direct portrayal of these cloaks actually doing something, in a way we can see. At times, LotR cam actually feel really low-magic, despite that being wrong, and among the things they received for their journey, the cloaks were among the most important, and visible, throughout the work, bur then we get to a point where stealth is no longer important; our heroes are eirher frontlining epic battles, or skulking through places no one else epuls go, and thus no eyes to be hidden from.
    I'm certainly not going to sit here, and tell other people what to like, or that they are wrong for what they don't like; everyone's welcome to make those decisions for themselves, but I'm mostly good with it. The sliding down part is kind of silly, and not being seen before getting hidden is kind of crossing a line, as is how buried Sam became, but I'm personally fine with the hiding bit; that's apparently what even layperson Hobbits can just do, and then they have D&D cloaks of elvenkind, which are pretty good for stealth. 😊 If Yolkien had been a more modern time writer, we might even see a spot on the Gamgee family tree that leads up to Snake. Think of what he could do with just a cardboard box, even where a cardboard box had no business being.😊

    Besides the fact that the evil men approaching the Black Gate in the film are Easterlings instead of Haradrim, they are also marching from the wrong direction. Arriving from the right side of the screen would be correct for Haradrim marching from the south, but the Easterlings should be approaching from the north/northeast, aka the left side of the screen.

    scene/event tied into the more detailed description of the cloaks Galadriel gave them when she gave them all their gifts. like, when she was describing the elven rope (which explained why it hurt Gollum), she said something about the cloaks that i can't/too lazy to quote.

    Edit: To the point made at the end, most of the changes feature events that are in the books, but at different times and places. For instance, they did use the cloaks for camouflage, and did nearly get caught due to something akin to the landslide caused by Sam.

    Yeah, I remember the Black Gate scene in the movie feeling really weird and cringeworthy, back when I first saw The Two Towers movie in the cinema. And although I had encountered and played The Hobbit as a text-adventure game on my ZX Spectrum as a teen in the '80s. It hadn't really left me compelled enough to read any of Tolkien's books like the movies did.
    - I guess what I'm trying to say is that, my first feeling of cringiness from watching the scene was completely unaffected by Tolkien's original version, since I had not read any of his books by that point... It just seemed to stick out like a sore thumb, even before I knew the original story.

  • @Niko-hi5my

    ‘I did not mean the danger that we all share,' said Frodo. 'I mean a danger to yourself alone. You swore a promise by what you call the Precious. Remember that! It will hold you to it; but it will seek a way to twist it to your own undoing. Already you are being twisted. You revealed yourself to me just now, foolishly. Give it back to Sméagol you said. Do not say that again! Do not let that thought grow in you! You will never get it back. But the desire of it may betray you to a bitter end. You will never get it back. In the last need, Sméagol, I should put on the Precious; and the Precious mastered you long ago. If I, wearing it, were to command you, you would obey, even if it were to leap from a precipice or to cast yourself into the fire. And such would be my command. So have a care, Sméagol!’
    ************************************************
    This alludes to a theme in the books that Sméagol has to keep his oath to Frodo taken 'on the precious', otherwise it will punish him. It results in the climax in Mount Doom, when Sméagol breaks his oath and as a consequence the ring (!) makes him stumble and fall into the cracks of Doom, and effectively destroying itself. That's an interpretation of course, but not an uncommon one. It's an important moral point of the entire trilogy: Resist and endure evil, until eventually it destroys itself.
    Peter Jackson changed this whole theme, wanting Frodo and Gollum to fight for it at the end. Hence this scene here was also not important any more.
    For a lover of the books, that's a a shame, but I assume they needed the climax at Mount Doom to be more dramatic for mass audiences...

      How would ordinary men be aware of the Ring when it's not being used? That wasn't Sauron's army, but one from the Southrons, the Swarthy Men, so the concept you present doesn't work. Frodo could don the Ring and just stand there, and they wouldn't know.
      Had he done so, he'd risk attracting the attention of worse, but that had nothing to do with orcs, elves, dwarves, or men. As for the scene, I found it implausible, but it was a point made in the book, that the cloaks weren't magic, but were great camouflage. Jackson condensed all the times they helped that way down to that goofy magic rock scene in order to include those cloaks more emphatically without taking too much time.

    • @verindictus3639
      @verindictus3639 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The cloaks were a gift from Galadriel, and as such had the magical gift of hiding the wearers from unfriendly eyes. The books did it a little more subtly, but only a little - in the Two Towers, when Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas are being approached by the Riders of Rohan, they don't hide in a cleft - they stand in the middle of the field and let the Riders approach. And the Riders run right by them. These three are standing in the middle of an open field, and the Riders of Rohan who are traveling right next to them, don't see them. I should also mention that all three had the hoods of their cloaks up, at this time. It isn't until Aragorn throws back his hood and calls to the Riders, that they finally realized that there are three people there, that they all are passing right by.
      That's how the cloaks work.

When I watched the elf-cloak scene as a child, I was surprised that the cloak did look like one of the rocks: I believe the criticism over it being unrealistic (which I have seen on 2016 answers on Quora, as well as Random Film Talk's discussion of the Extended Two Towers), refers to the fact the Easterling gimps who look at the cloaks should have seen what the "rock" was at close range, and the fact they should have seen Sam: however, it seems Sam quickly was swallowed by sand, which is why his bones were not broken and how Frodo quickly got him out. It also should be said they were wearing their elf-cloaks the whole journey, and used them to watch the Haradrim enter the Black Gate (they and Gollum were on the height of course and hidden by rocks: all three were careful to make sure the Haradrim didn't spot them).

    You are incorrect the men marching into the Black Gate are Easterlings(in the book inplied to be from Rhun), and are a different allied people to Sauron. The Haradrim are from the South, and have a more direct path into Mordor from the South, Morder is completely cut off from the North with the Exception of the Black Gate. There are in fact four main ways into Mordor and Two of them are in the South East of Mordor, Minas Morgul, and the Black Gate. It makes no sense for Haradrim Foot Soldiers to wander across Ithilian to the Black Gate when they can(and later do in the movies) use Minas Morgul to enter Mordor.
    So in conclusion the Wicked men in this scene are Easterlings.

    Great as always! The scene of them drinking the water and growing is among my least favorite in the movies and should have been left out.

For example, if the Hobbits want to be taller, why not just keep drinking the water until they were 6 feet tall or whatever? Just not a good scene.
    As for the Black Gate, I have one thing to add to what Gibby said. It may just be me, but those two soldiers by the cloak/rock looked like women to me. I know you can't see much, but their eyes just look like women and we know Jackson often used women made to look like men. Look closely and see what you think.
    That brings me to what I think is the absolute worst scene in the whole movie trilogy. Unfortunately, it's in the last movie and won't be talked about for a long time. I am dying to talk about it as I do think it's the worst and was totally unnecessary. But I'll wait (I'm not really "dying" in case you're concerned).

    I watched the latest episode yesterday.. I fell asleep afterwards. I refuse to watch it first thing in the morning. I'll come back after breakfast 🫡
