GIRLFRIEND FINALLY WATCHES The Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring - REACTION/REACTION!
IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!! You guys made this possible! If this video gets *1000 Likes* I guess we'll have to do The Two Towers😅
Our full 3 hour reaction is available over on Patreon www.patreon.com/CaraPrez
Please react to One piece with her I want to see her reaction & crying because she looks beautiful while crying 😭 and i am not a psycho 👿
That’s a crazy compliment😭😂 but dw…it will ONE DAY have to happen😏
Will you be watching demon slayer s4 when it's out?
@@CaraPrezReacts Thank you & sorry if I hurt you guys
@@CaraPrezReacts I asked that because just now i watched the reaction of Demon slayer season 3 episode 11 reaction & loved it that's why?
Boromir is trashed by a lot of people for succumbing to the Ring, but they usually ignore how he normally behaves other than in the moments when the Ring is actively tempting him. He's a good and noble man, and he's always portrayed as being protective of the hobbits. He's the one who teaches them swordplay and has no problem playing with them, he's the one who urges the Fellowship to turn back from the snowstorm in the mountain pass and the reason he gives is that he thinks the hobbits won't survive it even if he thinks him and the rest of the bigger folk will, and he not only goes out trying to protect Merry and Pippin from the orcs but the first thing he tells Aragorn when the battle is over and they're able to talk before he dies is that the orcs took both of them and asks about Frodo before apologizing for failing them all. Dude was a real one.
Thank you! The only reason he even gave into the temptation of the ring was - and this is just a theory - out of desperation. His primary objective up to that point wasn't the quest to destroy the Ring, but protecting Gondor and he felt he needed the Ring to do it. Since the party was supposed to break at the Lorien (Aragorn and Boromir heading off to Gondor and Sam, Frodo, and Gandalf going to Mordor; Gimli and Legolas supposedly choosing which way they want to go) - and again, just a theory - got desperate in his desire to protect his home.
Galadriel is really good at poking and prodding at people. She probably brought his desires closer to the surface than he was comfortable with when she looked into the hearts/desires of each one of them.
@@Tavora_Tiefling Yes, after Gandalf's death he tells Aragorn in Lothlorien that he's worried because the people of Gondor are losing faith and his father's rule is failing even if he's trying to do the right thing. And both back during the council of Elrond and when he tried to take the Ring from Frodo he specifically mentions that his intention is to use the Ring to fight Sauron and protect the people of Gondor and by extension the rest of the peoples of Middle Earth. So even when the Ring was attempting to corrupt his mind he was still justifying it by using arguments that would count as selfless. It kind of reflects what Gandalf told Frodo back at Bag End when he offered him the Ring and he refused it by saying that he would use it out of a desire to do good even if he ended up doing harm because, well, it's an evil sentient artifact that's not meant to do good even by accident or as a means to an evil end.
I will never stand for Boromir slander, so thank you for this comment. The man was under immense pressure from his father and the fate of his city, and the presence of the ring certainly amplified that. People tend to think his weakness towards the ring is especially HIM, but it isn't. He is simply human. Beyond the way the ring draws him in, Boromir was an honorable and good man.
What isn't really apparent is that Borimir is starting from state of things as they are in the last movie. He wasn't relaxing in the shire, he was already fighting Mordor. For him shit is already bleak and they are loosing.
Bro what are you yapping about I have NEVER met someone who has the opinion that Boromir is trash??? You just talking to talk bro 😂
One cannot simply watch only one of the LOTR trilogy.
It is folly. :D
My friends, you bow to no one 😭
And not, the extended trilogy at that.
Not in 8 hours could you do this.
YOU!
SHALL NOT!
STAAAHP!
What I absolutely love about LOTR is the movie quality is still there, it's a 20 years old movie but still better than 99% of the new movies we have nowdays
We mention this towards the end but just imagine watching this in the cinema 20 years ago damn
@@CaraPrezReacts It was an experience...
@@CaraPrezReacts I actually went to the red premier of Return of the King. Still to this day, nothing comes close to the Speech and ride of the Rohirrim !
a Timeless Classic, theres a reason all fantasy movies are compared to this trilogy, itll never get old.
@@CaraPrezReacts i watch 2 towers in cinemas ...blew my mind ...
How to get someone to watch LOTR: It begins with ten minutes of exposition, then twenty minutes of an old dude's birthday party, then two hours later you want to watch six more hours of it immediately.
During Boromi's death scene, you can hear a choir in the soundtrack. The choir isn't singing random vowels, they're actually singing in Elvish. The english translation of the lyrics? It's a line from the books: "I do not love the sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only what they defend," For bonus hurt points- In the books, those lines were said by his little brother Faramir.
I never knew this. How fing beautiful.
Details like this in this trilogy, it just elevates it to a level unmatched 👌🏽 and is the reason will always be loved by every generation to come!! EXTENDED EDITION is a must tho surely
The details in this films show how much the makers of them love Middle-Earth and Tolkiens work.
You are never late to watch this wondrous trilogy. Nor are you early. You are watching precisely as you means to.
This is the manliest film in which the male leads all hold each other and openly weep. Aragorn is; respectful, kind, loving and ok with crying openly and still is as manly as they come
Because he cries at proper moments. The two extremes of crying over spilled milk and not crying at your dads funeral. The problem is always balance
To me, he's the epitomy of a "proper" man. He embodies masculinity in all its strengths and beauties. He respects, helps, saves, cares, cries, defends, loves, does what has to be done despite the hardship, isn't egotistic, is humble yet driven.
"Gandalf uplifting everyone" - Just a trivia from the lore. Gandalf has Narya, the Ring of Fire. And its power is basically that, uplifting people around him, giving them courage.
Nailed it. Gandalf inflaming the hearts of the enemies of Sauron with courage and hope.
and also, Boromir almost immediatly succumbs to the ring and tries to take it after Gandalf falls
@@madmeddik "immediately"...well I think we might have a different understanding of what immediately means :D
@@6666Imperator I guess you missed the word before immediately.... That being 'almost'
@@madmeddik It's like a couple months later.
The look that gandalf has when he hears Frodo say, "I will take it!" at the council is amazing. It was sadness and regret mixed with realization that he knew it was probably the only way.
It still amazes me how many people still haven't seen LOTR and when they do watch them, they are amazed, they cry, they laugh and most of all enjoy it
There's a new generation discovering them, and every generation after them will discover them too. We're getting old, but these movies are timeless.
"I love a strong female character"
If you watch all 3 movies, you'll meet what in my opinion is THE strongest female character (and I don't mean strength as in power, but strength of the heart).
Right?! There is another one....
Female Tolkien characters in general have the strongest possible hearts.
"I got a Hobbit diet" was a lol moment for me.
the curse of Sean Bean....he always dies lol 🤣🤣
At 10:22 you ask, "The question is, does Gandalf know exactly what ring it is?" The book goes into more detail on this subject. Gandalf has been uneasy about Bilbo's Ring ever since he found it, 60 years ago. Bilbo comes from a long-lived family on his mother's side, and while 111 is old for a Hobbit, it isn't unprecedented. But while there are "many magical rings," only the Great Rings give long life. After these events, Gandalf is now really concerned. The agents of the Dark Lord are actively seeking the Ring, but Gandalf is taking a risk letting the Ring lie hidden in the Shire while he tries to determine whether Bilbo has actually found the One Ring. Peter Jackson & Co. have speeded up the action of the book dramatically to make an exciting movie; in the book, it took Gandalf 17 years to find out the truth.
It has just been anounced by Warner Bros that Peter Jackson will produce a film directed by Andy Serkis called the Hunt for Gollum, where the whole story about how he got the Ring and how Gandalf found out it was a Great Ring is told in detail. It is still in the pre-production phase, so don''t expect it before 2026.
Extended edition is a must for the next 2 movies. They give a lot of backstory and other nice scenes which really seem like nothing but make sense. Seeing the scenes which were left out of the theatrical is crazy to know they weren't added.
... And edit them into multiple videos next time, that's how you edit this.
It's a must for ALL of them.
I’m as big a fan of LOTR as anyone but I genuinely think the theatrical version is a better movie experience. Let them enjoy it in it’s most digestible form and then let them come back to the nearly infinite buffet that this story offers
@@baddayoverdosed I cannot agree. I see some people say that, and I just don't understand it. If you love something, why wouldn't you want a version of that thing that has MORE of the thing you love? The extended editions flesh out the story and only make the viewing experience richer. The extended editions are just as "digestible" as the theatrical cuts.
I'm on team extended editions.
In the extended version Aragorn sings the Lay of Luthien to the Hobbits in the wilderness. Frodo asks, who was she and Aragorn says "She died.." Luthien was an elf princess who rescued aman, Beren, from an evil dungeon. The fell in love and she gave up her immortality to be with him. On the gravestone of JRRR Tolkien and his wife Edith are the names Luthien and Beren.
Yup. That's the kind of shite I adore.
And both Aragorn and Arwen are descended from Beren and Luthien. In fact, Luthien's choice to become mortal is the main reason Arwen is allowed to do the same.
@@christinabrock2893 but luckily for them the bloodline split off when Elrond decided to be an elf (hence his name Eldrond, the half elf) and Elross his brother decided to be a human.
@@christinabrock2893nope. The reason they’re allowed is because of Eärendil, Elrond’s father! - Let me share about Elrond & his daughter Arwen (& Aragorn by extension) therefore we must look at Elrond’s Twin Brother Elros, they both were half-elven brothers who can choose to be mortal or immortal because of their parents; (Eärendil & Elwing), both “half elven” made a great sacrifice and went to Valinor to ask for help against Morgoth(who was making everything worse than a living hellscape for 100s of generations) which lead to the greatest events in the early first and second age.
Instead of being punished, the valar listened to them, that led to a great hosts of Valar and Maiar And Vanyar Elves went to Middle Earth that laid waste to Beleriand.
After the War Of Wrath, the valar rewarded them for their sacrifices. They can choose to be elf or men, including their children. They chose immortally, but never return to Middle Earth because they thought that their twin sons had died. But they didnt die. Elrond chose to be immortal while his twin brother Elros chose to be mortal. He founded the Kingdom of Numenor. He lived in Numenor Island and blessed with a long life that include his descendants Those men who fought for the war were rewarded a long life but not their families or children. Only the family of Elrond can choose to be immortal or mortal in which Arwen did. Aragorn is the direct descendant of Elros, thats why he has a long life. The average lifespan of a Numenorean at their height was 500 years maximum! Now remember too that half elves are a common thing and whenever they did come together it was always significant !❤❤❤
Remember this is the SHORT version, there are so many moving parts that will make you want to dive into the books or the audio books or even do reaction videos to the famous lore videos by the biggest lore channels out there!
When you’re done the trilogy try doing reaction videos just like Moviejoob did now with the lore recently as well as OmarioRPG. I recommend videos by GirlNextGondor and The Red Book, and Tolkien Untangled and especially Men Of The West. Many other cool ones I’ll recommend in the comments section of those reaction videos you do from Tolkiens Legendarium lore videos. They are super engaging. You’ll be in love. Nothing would have existed if Tolkiens works never hit the light of day as they were meant to stay private and sometimes be shared with his children and so on. No Game Of Thrones. No Skyrim. No ElderScrolls, No World Of Warcraft, no Dungeons&Dragons. None of it. Not even Star Wars. Not even Harry Potter! They took inspiration from his works which were souly to give back a forgotten history of the Anglo Saxons that had their culture & history destroyed as the larger empires were riding around them. His works reflect the Elder Edda(Norse) The Kalevala(Finnish) and the Welsh people from Wales as well as Irelands cultures of the Tuatha De Danaan as well! His languages are fully fleshed out too resembling Finnish & Welsh
•
By the way Elrond is around 6870-8000 years old & nearly a full Elf year (as they age very very differently to Men) is close to 144 man years(solar years for them). but if you want a more true age you must realize that he may be 8000 but in human years after the sun and moon were created from the flower from of the two trees of Valinor as well as one fruit from the other of the two trees; they experience the TIME and the way men experience it but their clock is different! They live as long as the world/Arda/Ëa does. Essentially. Which is why they are so in synch with the world around them and the nature responds to them ! Think of when Legolas walked ontop of all that snow on the Mountain of Caradhras!! They continue to endure as long ad the world itself does. (Arda) and speaking of age, Legolas is also 3000+years old by the time he becomes a member of The Fellowship Of The Ring! If you look back on the original trilogy movies: The fellowship had a 3000year old Elven PRINCE in their party. And a clandestine angelic being who was Gandalf originally known Olòrin to those such as Galadriel who knew him when she lived in Valinor, Elrond also knew would be one of the only others who’d know this save Círdan The Shipwright(Oldest Elf in the world but even he was a few generations down from the original elvish peoples to awake to the stars) & kin to Thingol who also is a semi distant cousin to Legolas as Legolas’ grandfather was the close cousin to Thingol(same with Galadriel’s Husband Celeborn through his father, their capital within Lothlòrien was named after his father(Caras Galadhon) Galadhon being the name indicating that which belongs to the father. And a 87 year old Númenorean man named Aragorn!, a 335 year old Dwarven Prince named Gimli. And as a microcosm they resembled the coalition of all the races of middle earth uniting under one banner which is another reason it sort of metaphysically set into motion the world uniting at the macrocosm !
Galadriel's Phial (gift to Frodo) is something really special. light & dark have a spiritual dimension in Tolkien. way back before the First Age Valinor was lit by two very special Trees that waxed & waned in opposition to each other. a master craftsman Elf named Fëanor fashioned three gems that captured their light, the Silmarils. (And it’s same power and light was drawn into it from the very firmament where it now stands amongst the stars as Eärendil himself (Elrond’s father stands watch over The Doors Of Night where Melkor still is held until fate holds him no longer.)
Everyone who saw them was captivated by them, even the Melkor(Morgoth); the first Dark Lord. Wars were fought over them called the Kinstrife after Morgoth had the Trees destroyed the Silmarils were the only light from them left and he stole them as you may remember, they changed hands a few times & eventually one was left after one fell into the sea & another was lost in a pit of magma. a Half Elf named Eärendil (the first one! Who was Elrond’s father.) came into its possession & sailed it to Valinor as a gift to the Valar to ask for their help in defeating Morgoth, which they did. the Valar turned it into a star & hung it in the sky with Eärendil as its guardian. the fountain of Galadriel's
Mirror is lit by light captured from the star Eärendil & her Phial has water from the fount. I've left out about 90% of the story but it's quite important & central to the story of Middle Earth. for her to give the Phial to Frodo is quite extraordinary. its light does burn & blind Shelob (that's the spider's name) but doesn't kill her outright. oh also, before he was put in the sky to guard the last Silmaril Earendil had two children, Elrond & his brother Elros the first King of Numenor. Tolkien's lore is deep & vast & the Silmarils are at the center of it.
The Star of Eärendil is the light that shines in the horizon both in the morning and the evening. It consists in a boat raised by the Valar and led by Eärendil, who carries a shining Silmaril while watching the Doors of Night. The Door of Night was a portal in the distant Uttermost West that leads to heaven, and/or the Void. Eärendil's ship Vingilot was taken by the Valar from the rim of the world, passed through the Door and was lifted into the "oceans of heaven". PS: Eärendil is ELROND’s half Vanyar Elf half human father, that father was the son of the great Tuor of the great stories of The Children Of Húrin book!❤❤❤❤
Aragorn is a CLOSE descendant of a direct bloodline to Elros(Elrond’s Twin Brother)
The title of half elven (Peredhel) was due to the combined history of Beren&Lúthien, his mother Elwing was the granddaughter of Lùthien! Eärendil was the husband of Elwing. The true half elf; son of the best elvish women ever who rescued hundreds from the highest of elvish kingdoms(Gondolin); her name is Idril & one of the best most powerful men around named Tuor. Who later on when they went to Valinor together through their own way lead to him choosing to be counted as One Of The Eldar for Idril. Eärendil did the same for Elwing. ❤
@@6666Imperatoragain. Check my reply I added to this thread. I gave the longer story. It’s more complex. It’s to do with the deeds of Eärendil.
The extended version of Two Towers explains more of Boromir.
yes
I know they watched the theatrical cut of Fellowship, but seriously hope they see the extended version of Two Towers.
I doubt they will
Theatrical > Extended.
Musical adaptation and pacing is better in theatrical. Also there's some non-sense in extended, like the witch king breaking Gandalf's staff.
@@joshuah5655that is also in the theatrical version.
I love your assessment about Boromir. He is such a tragic figure. He was always a hero, and he always fought for the people who couldn't fight for themselves. Even when dying, the first thing he said to Aragorn was that the Hobbits were taken. He is a character that has grown in me over the years.
In you?
Elves are quite literally immortal. Even if they're killed, they basically respawn across the ocean.
Make sure you watch the extended versions of the next two - they are far superior and bits of the story are missing from the short versions.
The big guys ARE orcs - Uruk Hai, fighting orcs, bred specifically for war. Uruk is black speech for Orc and Hai denotes that they are orcs that are strong enough to move in the sunlight during the day. Both Sauron and Saruman use devices - like clouds and smoke from the volcano at Mt Doom to cover the sun and protect their orcs from the sunlight, but Uruk Hai can resist the sunlight naturally.
Also, the various orcs are loyal only to their own masters. The little - ordinary - orcs are sent from mordor to help saruman and while they obey saruman they are loyal only to Sauron so they are also spies for Sauron. The Uruks are loyal to Saruman. Orcs fight each other at the drop of a hat because they are loyal only to their regimental and tribal chieftains and commanders.
At 6:20, Hobbits live a bit longer than Men. They "come of age" at 33, and Tolkien says that they reach 100 as often as not. When Gandalf first greets Bilbo, he gives him a hard look, not because Bilbo is turning 111, but because he hasn't aged, and he looks no older than he did when he first found the Ring, at age 50.
So in human terms it would be kinda like a 80-year-old looking like a 40-year-old.
@@Dystisisyup. And elves full year is an entire lifetime of man. ;)
Boromir’s death is the best death scene in all of cinema, I think. It’s absolutely pitch perfect.
It is one scene that the movie changed from the book for the better.
galadriel was admitting to frodo and (and mostly to herself) what will happen if she ever got the one ring, it's a recognition that the one ring will change her to the ruin of all despite her good intentions bc the one ring is that powerful and evil
and yes, it was a rejection of the ring before her
I love her comments about “fighting the long defeat.” How rejecting the Ring still isn’t a victory, in the classic heroic sense; how even destroying the Ring, and sending Sauron into nothingness forevermore, still means a diminishing for the Elves anyways. It is a lesson in doing the right thing, persistently, even if you have nothing to gain.
At 1:00:18, the Argonath are two colossal statues of Isildur and his brother Anarion, who jointly ruled Gondor as its first kings. The statues were erected to mark the northern boundary of Gondor at its greatest extent, and are at this point about 2,000 years old. I love the details of these statues. If you look behind the figures, you can see the quarry marks where the stones for the statues were cut.
What an excellent summary- thank you!
I love the fact that In the Making of the Lord of the Rings documentary, they show the two artists, Alan Lee and John Howe climbing around on the actual rocks that the Argonath scenery are placed on, working out the concept drawings. Wonderful stuff!
Notice how Aragorn puts on Boromirs wrist guards at the end.
Rule #1 of any RPG, always loot your fallen companions.
“This song is amazing” I’m so glad said that. May It Be is my favorite song of the 3 credits songs. I have it tattooed on my arm as a tribute to my grandfather who passed away years ago. Thank you
There’s your 1k likes now the last two movies extended. 😂
And 6 times that in just a week. :)
Mate, you're going to get those 1,000 likes, so you and Cara better be watching the Two Towers soon and in extended edition, because we needs it. It's our Ring. An addiction. Give it to us. C'mon.
I think they need a new bet/challenge.. if we can get it to 1500 likes, they will watch the extended versions.
@@cmdrbrantford888 either way it happened already😭
@@CaraPrezReacts LotR reactions are almost always one of the most watched on anybody's channel.
when all your subscibers say you need to watch the extended edition, they have a reason...
guys, if you liked this one you really need to watch the extended editions going forward. I know it seems like a monumental task but they add SO much more depth and context, they are well worth the time. there's scenes that re-contextualize characters and give payoffs to characters that don't happen in the theatrical. If you liked the first one you owe it to yourselves to watch the extended versions.
Please watch The Two Towers and The Return of The King in Extended editions. They're totally worth it!
Agree
Yes!
It's good that the Fellowship extended is probably the one that matters least. Not that it's not great, it just doesn't add quite as much necessarily narrative detail.
I’m your 100th comment.
@@Crazy_Diamond_75nope. It matters the most. Note world and character building and foreshadowing. More content from Tolkiens own words. More redeeming of the demonic freak out by PJs Galadriel with scenes between her and Aragorn etc. ties scenes from first film to both third and second ones.
not watching the extended version is a crime in itself
But great to news it will be on cinema next month I will be going
Hard disagree. The extended editions are awesome, but mostly because they just give us more LotR. The theatrical cuts are better *movies*.
@@fghjconner I also would add that people often forget that back when they came out, we all watched the theatrical cut first. As an introduction to Middle Earth (esp. if someone is not into fantasy, like my parents lol), I prefer the theatrical over extended
@@fghjconnerabsolutely correct
@@fghjconner no they are not. They remove crucial bits like more back story to Boromir and Faramir and very very importantly Sauruman
In books it was 17 years between Bilbo leaving and Frodos journey.
Also, this "kurwa" when Nazgul get to Bree was quite suprising. :D
I'm sure many will tell you to watch the extended versions for the next two. They will be right. This wonderful story has only begun.
The two towers and the return of the kings are waving 👋👋
an absolute masterpiece 💪💪
“Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends." - Gandalf
Homies, you MUST do extended. So many of your questions will be answered, so much additional context.
At the end of this you'll want to watch the extended versions of the next two.
Here's my interpretation after seeing this movie over a hundred times: When Galadriel said "I passed the test", she meant she fully experienced having the ring and its power and knowing what she would do with that power and then she turned it down. This means that she chose good over power. Maybe this draw to power was distracting her and she felt the need to conquer it before leaving.
Partly yes, she says she passed the test amd will diminish and go into the West and remain Galadriel
Meaning she not only freed herself from the power of the Ring but also freed herself of the desire for power itself.
Her background, which is to long and complicated to go into here, is that she was born in the Valinor or the Undying lands. She was on if the post powerful Elven women then and by the time of the LotR the most powerful elf in Middle Earth. She left Valinor because she wanted to see Middle Earth as well as find and establish a kingdom or her own to rule in Middle Earth
To leave Valinor, which was forbidden, she was partly involved in the Kin Slaying although she took no part in the killing of other elves.
After the Kinslaying and leaving Valinor, the elves that left were banned from ever returning to the Undying Lands as punishment, including Galadriel.
The Ban was lifted after the elves hepled the Valor defeat Morgoth in the War of Wrath. Many returned to Valinor, but Galadriel remained in Middle Earth becuase she wanted to rule her own kingdom, which she eventually did.
So when she freed herself of the power of the Ring she also freed herself of her desire to hold power in general and knew it was time for her to return to the Undying Lands after Sauron would be defeated
@@nataliestclair6176 Pretty much right, but she says "I pass the test"
Deeper story than that. Galadriel is actually really ancient. But in her youth she was haughty and desired a kingdom of her own. She'd crossed some of the wrong people and was banished from returning to The Undying Lands, the only elf to suffer that fate. When she declined the ring and passed the test, her banishment was lifted.
@@mickaleneduczech8373 that is not true at all. She is NOT the only elf who was banished. Also not her own actions caused the banishment but rather the brother mass murder that her father ordered on the hunt for the Silmaril. "Some of the wrong people" yeah well how about basically the lesser gods (or higher angels depending on how you want to see it), but again they could have left if they wanted to but what angered the Valar was that they murdered their own kin while leaving. All Noldor who left with Feanor and his sons were banished which included Galadriel.
She had immense power now beyond Fëanor and her full uncle Fingolfin, surpassed Turgon and Fingon, surpassed all of them after living literally near to her 3rd cycle. 17,000 plus years. Older than the sun and moon. Sauron feared her
shame you are not watching the EE. the theatrical cuts were made purely to make the movie work in theather, but those missing scenes are still absolute A-tier material. it's how the movies are supposed to be watched.
and yes, 3-4 hours per movie is long, but with a combined 11 hours, it's what - a season and half of a regular TV show? it's really not that much if you look at it from the right perspective, and when I rewatch them, I always do it half a movie at a time.
The theatrical cuts won all the awards, so they can’t be that bad
One does not simply stop watching LoTR EE once it starts..
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’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!
Bilbo finding the ring was actually what saved everyone
Come on...gotta do the extended edition. LOTR is best without missing all the information. Love your reactions BTW keep it up.
The only way to get all the information is reading the books. There's at least an extra 10 hours missing from the extended edition too.
@@blameluke that is true but they are probably not gonna read the books at this time. However, if they do we gotta make sure they read the Silmarillion.
Im saying man
The extended editions are cringe.
Theatrical is best for first viewing.
As daunting as it may seem, you guys HAVE to watch the extended versions for the next 2 movies. There's so many crucial scenes left out that add gravity to the movies. An extremely entertaining reaction from you two! Looking forward to your next uploads.
“Not the extended”
Nope that’s not an option. Criminal. Arrest them.
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!”

They're smoking tobacco. In one book's chapter introduction, he specifically calls out that it's a variety of nicotiana -- which is what tobacco is.
I do not know you guys, it is my premiere on this channel, but I had my first generous (loud) laugh of the day when she uttered "oh, kurwa..."
Priceless.
Thanks for the reaction!
By the way, I feel... obliged to mentioned that Boromir is my favourite character of the whole trilogy.
As it is said few times throughout the movie, "men are weak." As through the lore, the men were the only ones who actually fell under the influence of the One Ring. (Elves discovered the enemy plot with the rings, while the faith of the dwarven rings is more or less unknown. (though, it is mentioned that the dwarfs were too difficult to control because of their stubborness).
Isildur got immediately corrupted by the rings and so was Boromir.
It is worth mentioning here that the ring works through influecing thoughts of its wearer and people around, by promising them fullfiling their wildest dreams and desires. Boromir is the heir of the current steward of the 'last' kingdom of men - Gondor - but he knows himselves, and reminded by Galadriel, that his father's rules is failing and Gondor is weak, constantly under attack from Mordor. Boromir's biggest desire is to see the glory of the Gondor restored, for his people to be safe, so the rings tries to convince him that he can help him with that.
But...
As weak and phrone to corruption human's hearths are, they are also capable of heroic deads, loyalty and courage of doing what is right.
Boromir eventually sees through the lies of the ring and rushes to save Marry and Pippin. (Gentle reminder - HE was the one who trained them, HE was the one who was carrying them above the snow on the Caradhras, HE was the one who grab them BOTH and jumped across the gap on the stairs in Moria, HE was the one who was aboard with them in the boats. And in the end, when Aragorn kills the Uruk-hai, his very first words were 'they took the little ones...'). He fights to the last breath, facing head on the danger and death without his trusty shield, even though he must have been very well aware he cant fight all of the uruk hai.
He dies with his sword in his hands, with his mind cleared of the ring's influece, with three arrows ripped through his chest, with 10+ uruk hais dead by his feet. Not as Isildur, who fell for the ring, and died with three arrows in the BACK after the ring betrayed him.
"Over my dead body."
Have a good ride you two :)
You should really watch the extended editions, they make the movies even better! Or at least look up the scenes online for the Fellowship.
The extended editions are not the official movies.
@@DestinyAwaits19 It is the version they wanted to release but they thought it would be too long in theaters. Hence "Theatrical cut." And how can it not be official if they officially released them?
@@b_s_productions4405 Its not the version they wanted to release. Jackson himself said he prefers the theatricals. They worked an entire year on each film to get the best cut. The theatricals are much more engaging films. They don't dilly dally.
@@DestinyAwaits19 The theatrical versions are undoubtedly the best version for theatrical release - as it is, they are really too long. I know I wasn't able to make it through the entire movie (any of the three) at the theater without a bathroom break. On the other hand, my reaction coming out of The Fellowship of the Ring when I saw it in the theater was that they really should have made it into two movies with just a little bit of additional material to make each movie about 2 hours long. And the extra material I was envisioning, based on my knowledge of the books, was pretty similar to what was added for the extended editions. Given that the extended editions were not meant to be watched in the theater, so stopping whenever necessary to take a bathroom break (or whatever else you need to do) isn't a problem, I prefer them to the theatrical versions for home viewing. But I wouldn't want to go to a theater to watch one of the extended versions unless they put in a long intermission somewhere near the middle.
Is the pacing somewhat harmed by the additional material in the extended releases? Maybe, in some cases. But I don't think it's significant, and some of the added scenes are almost required to really understand what is going on in some of the other scenes. In general, I think a lot was done in the name of pacing that really hurt the coherence of the story. And that wasn't always due to things that were left out - sometimes it was stuff that Peter Jackson et al added in explicitly for the purpose of adding tension where it might otherwise be missing but which didn't really make sense within the story.
By the way, can we just take a minute to salute the head of New Line Cinema who, when Miramax was trying to force Peter Jackson to turn his two movie project into a single movie, not only rescued the production but insisted on expanding it to three movies? From what I've heard about the two movie version I'm not sure it would have been very successful with Tolkien fans. Even with three very long (perhaps too long for the theater?) movies there was a lot that was merely hinted at. I've watched enough first time reactions to see how often that results in significant confusion over some parts of the story for those who haven't read the books. (And occasionally even for those of us who have, given that the movies don't always follow the books perfectly.) While I still wish it had been made into six 2 hour movies instead of three 3 hour movies, I understand that it was really a miracle that Peter Jackson was able to get financing for three movies. The result isn't the best that I can imagine, but it's better than I have any right to expect to actually see. And with the extended editions, I got something close to the 6 movies I wanted.

You really need to watch all three movies, and watch the Extended Editions. “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy is universally considered a masterpiece, and why deprive yourself of more masterpiece? As you probably already know, the extended editions don’t just add a few seconds here and there. You learn so much about the characters, and if you don’t watch them, you may find yourself occasionally wondering why certain things happen the way they do. They’re a worthwhile investment.
"Not the extended versio- " CLICKS NEXT VIDEO.
Well you got my like! Cant recommend the extended editions enough though, enhances the movies hugely
Finally deciding to watch the LOTR movies but *not* the extended editions is like starting Game of Thrones and saying "but I'm not gonna watch EVERY season."
You'll get tons more clicks from us LOTR nerds if you do the extendeds. 😉
I wouldn't begrudge someone deciding to not watch the last few seasons of GoT. 😂
@@jmhaces Yeah, even the most dedicated of completionists regret their choices by the end of GoT.
WOW THE MOST UNEXPECTED BUT BEST SURPRISE EVER!! Woooo love lotr so much
ONE DOES SIMPLY NOT WATCH THE NORMAL EDITIONS!!!!!!!! ONE MUSTR ALWAYS WATCH THE EXTENDED EDITIONS!!!!!!!
Prez: "...not the extended version, 'cause that's absolutely mad..."
Gandalf: "FOOL of a Prez! Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity!"
More seriously... 🙂
There are vast numbers of potential new subs/likes out there, being LotR fans/nutcases. In recent months, several new youtubers have experienced the sudden spike in engagement from many new viewers as a result of reacting to LotR. Extra effort involved in editing for the extended editions is seriously appreciated. I've watched *many* LotR reaction videos, who start off with the theatrical edition of FotR, but then quickly realize their mistake and upgrade to the extended versions for TTT and RotK. I've never heard any of them begrudging the extra time and effort -- quite the opposite. Including more of the film, and more of your reactions, is not a waste for these monumental epics.
It's so obvious that Cara got deeply absorbed in FotR that I confidently predict she'll LOVE the extended versions and end up awash in a sea of her own tears by the end of the 3rd film. Bring plenty of tissues. (Seriously -- you'd be astonished at the volume of tissues consumed by many female reactors by the end of RotK.)
You also need to include more of the important dialog scenes. E.g., you skipped the bit where Gandalf gave Frodo some very sage advice in Moria, which ultimately has a deep influence on his subsequent choices after Gandalf's fall.
(*Edit:* I see that there's already an overwhelming number of commenters scolding you for not doing the extended versions. Is the message received?)
Welcome to the cinematic masterpiece known as The Lord of the Rings, noting will ever come close to it. Please reconsider watching the extended versions for the last two movies, they add a lot more context to things.
25:41 The Palantir (Seeing Stone) conversations with Sauron were what sealed Saruman's betrayal. The thing with him in the books is that while a very wise and intelligent wizard, he grew very very arrogant because of it and began thinking of himself as 'the only one good enough to lead the fight against evil' and along the years he saw his allies beneath him and grew frustrated with them. This in turn lead to the idea in his mind that HE must be the one in charge and lead everyone, 'cuz he knows better'. Once he started using the Palantir, he got in a duel of willpower with Sauron (which also has one in his tower of Barad-Dur). The thing with these Palantiri is that you have to will them to show you what you want and in a contest of wills against Sauron, Saruman was easily outmatched and thus cornered into allying with him (note how drained and weary he is as the orc workers come to him to receive their orders).
54:25 Very VERY well noticed. A lot of reactors miss the arrows pelting the Fellowship (granted, they are very easy to miss) and are frustrated with the lads not helping Gandalf out.
58:35 Correct, Galadriel basically is in a sort of exile from the Western Lands (a sort of Heaven on Earth realm if you will) due to some actions in her past (and that's one BIG rabbit hole to go down). Her rejection of the One Ring is in a sense a final penance served and will thus be granted to return to the West.
Btw, on Galadriel, here are two fun and interesting lore facts about her: she was tutored by a literal angel who assumed a living form and she is older than the literal sun and moon of Middle-Earth.
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.
not watching the extended version is like licking a popsicle trough a window...
I watched the original theatrical versions of these movies and the extended versions. The extended are better and should be how people experience these movies, even for the first time. They help to clarify some important things that were kind of vague in the theatrical cuts, but they're just more fun too.
What a great analogy!!!
I love the extended versions very much. However, I do believe that when you are introduced to this story, you do it with the theatrical version first. Let that set in with all of it's glory. Then go back and watch the extended versions to get that feeling all over again because you have new scenes to watch.
The extended versions have too many cringe scenes.
@@kevinpakkala3721I personally wouldn't have liked that experience. It's almost like watching all the spoily trailers for a movie, and then watching the full movie for the "bonus scenes".
So much of these films were filmed in real locations and locations made for the film, they made the shire and let it age for a year before filming on it is just 1 example, it was shot in the director Peter Jackson’s home country of New Zealand. Saw these movies in theaters as a young teen, it was so epic, still is everytime I watch it. Glad we have a new fan
This is where Sousou no Frieren took inspiration from, like most Fantasy stories today.
Also for The last two you NEED to do the Extended edition, you're gonna love it more!
You'll actually find the extended versions seem shorter because they flow better than the theatrical cuts. Please watch the extended versions going forward and release your reactions to each movie in two parts.
The music we hear after Gandalf falls is the sound a heart makes when it’s breaking.
Cara being scared at the most RANDOM SHOTS is everything to me!
You are both great in this reaction. That being said watching this beautiful lady's eyes (know know she also got scared) as the movie progressed the was spellbound. I am so happy you loved it and thank you for a great watch. 😃
Regarding the timeline, the entire story is roughly 20 years 17 of those take place between the birthday celebration and Gandalfs return to the shire. The main part of the story is 6 months and the ending scene is 3 years after Frodo leaves the shire.
Please watch the extended editions for the next two 👀
The next 2 are Extended Additions must as it adds a lot of context to the movies and answers many of the questions that remained unanswered for those who haven’t read the books.
Enjoyed watching the movie with you! Let me add one more vote for watching the Extended versions of the other two movies. It isn't as important for FOTR, but both of the others have scenes important to the plot that were omitted from the Theatrical versions. A reviewer needs a butt of steel, so grit your teeth and go for it. You won't regret doing so!
Tolkien's elves are bound to the world and can't leave it. They don't die of natural causes, and even if killed they can be remade in the undying lands to the west. Men, on the other hand, are 'blessed' with death and get to experience Eru Illuvatar's next world-building project.
They actually return to the world after the second or third Ainulindalë after Dagor Dagorath. Veletiand returns from the sea too. Galadriel promises Fangorn/Treebeard she’ll help him find Fimbrethil when Beleriand rises from the sea.
Let's goo she finally got to watch pure peak, Lowkey I can't believe she never watched it that's so wild ( saying that cause I've been obsessed with LOTR since I was like 7/8 yo )
Cara just become more cultured (finally)
Nearly all of the film(s) were shot in New Zealand.
You also can Stat a the Rivendell or hobbiton as a hotel if I remember correctly.
@@CaraPrezReactsPrez, too, since you/he couldn’t remember majority of the movie from seeing it so long ago.
Fun facts!
1: when the leader of the Uruk-hai threw the dagger at Aragorn it was supposed to go “near” him but he accidentally threw it right at him, and the actor Viggo literally parried it out of the air with his sword. He’s a bada$$.
2: When Sam went under the water at the end he cut his foot open on something at the bottom and had to go to the hospital.
I’ll give you more fun facts if you watch Two Towers!! 😊
Edit: spelling
The musical score for these movies is absolutely perfect.
My favorite part of these movies, hands down, is the music. It's incredible!
„Not doing the two towers unless we get a thousand likes“
*gets a thousand likes within 24 hours*
The people have spoken
if they get over 1500 likes they should commit to watching the extended versions of the next 2 movies ;)
Even though extended version is longer and I understend the concerns of watching and editing 4.5 hours movie I would still argue that these movies flow better with the extended versions. They give more context to the story, more character development, some comedic releafs and breaks of tension. It objectively feels better to watch, even if it's hard to convince yourself to start watching such long movies.
Please watch the extended one, it is far superior... just make two videos per movie (1 per dvd), that way you double the monetization you get out of it.
Exactly. Peter Jackson wanted people to see the extended (uncut) versions in the theatres, but Harvey Weinstein stopped him.

The regular version is fine for Fellowship. IT IS NOT for the second and especially the third... there are entire important scenes.
you should have watched extended, for this but esp for the next 2 where entire subplots and character arc endings are missing. the runtime is not accurate - the extended cuts add like 30+ minutes of just credits, including all the names of members of the official fanclub. the real added footage is a reasonable amount but not crazy.
Hey, I subbed so I don't miss the rest of the Trilogy. But I'll add my voice to the others, the EXTENDED versions is the way to go. and don't worry about the time, it will fly by. It happens every time someone is concerned about them being so long... you won't feel it!
This was a great reaction. I really hope you guys continue on this journey. It is truly worth it. I had the honor of watching these films as they were released. THESE movies, on the big screen are 10x even more impactful.
After you guys finish this trilogy, which I'm sure you will, maybe watch The Hobbit trilogy. It's the story of Bilbo and his adventures, 60 years before The Lord of The Rings tale. It was written as a childrens book, so the tone is a little "llighter" than Lord of the Rings. Nothing too scary, it's a little silly at times, but that's fine, You see some familiar faces and get a LOT of backstory to LOTR. it's pretty cool.
Anyway, can't wait for The Two Towers, Extended Edition.
Oh kurva :D ..... Did I hear it right? Greetings from Slovakia. Loved the reaction.
You should have watched the extended edition. You better watch the next two movies in their extended version!!!!!!!
Trilogy The Lord Of The Ring Extended Edition:
(1) The Felloship Of The Ring Extended Edition
(2) The Two Tower Extended Edition

Love you actually delivered on your promise! One little thing I wanted to clarify regarding Gandalf and Saruman tho: Saruman is in fact not Gandalf's master, but more so a colleague of his. They are both Wizards and part of the same "order" (there is a lot more backstory to this, but I do not want to get into ALL the lore of Middle-eart), with Saruman being their quasi leader. Other than that tho, they are pretty equal in standing.
Can’t *quite* agree. It apparently makes a large and important difference if one is “…the Gray” vs. “…the White”. Otherwise, we’re in sync.
@@yelnikigwawa1845 Oh yeah, Saruman is ofc the leader of the wizards, and thus is more powerful than Gandalf. But before the Istari came to Middle-earth, Gandalf and Saruman were pretty much equals IIRC.
amazing reaction
For movie 2 and 3, I highly recommend the extended edition. They are almost essential, even for first-time viewers.
My favorite reactors on TH-cam. You two are a pure vibe.
Appreciate this!
Not to mention an absolutely stunning couple, if they don't mind my saying.
@@Pixelologist haha thanks I'll always take a compliment😂
You need to see the extended versions. You will have noticed there is no filler dialog in these movies, the smallest conversations are important. The sequences cut out to shorten it for the theater release contain a lot of detail that will explain something coming up or something that just happened. If you're detail oriented, you'll appreciate not having to ask yourself "How" or "Why". Example: Galadriel gave everyone elf magic items before they left down the river, you only got to see the water she gave to Frodo. She gave Sam rope, gave them all a cape of concealment. You'll see them all wearing the capes in the next movies and notice how they use these items.
"I passed the test".
Loads of book lore, but Galadriel was exiled by the Elf Gods to forever dwell outside of Elf Heaven because she was, in the pre-history, addicted to Power. She was Good, but she was Power-hungry and the Elf Gods kicked her ass out of heaven because they couldn't trust her, until such a time that Galadriel could show them through her actions that she was more a servant of Good than she was a servant of her own pursuit of Power.
By resisting the tempation of taking the One Ring herself and using all of the magic she possessed from before Time existed, before even the Sun and Moon were lit, Galadriel demonstrated to the Elf Gods that she was, indeed, more devoted to Good than Power for Herself. And because of this, Galadriel faced losing all of the magic she had and going back to Elf Heaven with the rest of the departing elves, where would not be a Queen, nor even much of a Sorceress, and just be like every other elf there.
Even this desc above is a huge oversimplification which is just designed to save y'all a wall o' text Lore-babble. But I'm sure I've triggered the fans who built their identity as people around their mastery of lore, so get ready for the 'nyaahhhhh that's wrong' to follow. 😁😁
Eh, close enough. You can't really summarize without oversimplifying, after all, not with lore as deep as Middle-earth's. Even Gandalf oversimplified sometimes when explaining stuff to Frodo and the other Hobbits, so you're in very good company.
Not elf gods. Not exiled. Watch girlnextgondor ultimate video of her outing together everything about her!
@@christinabrock2893both of you please check out my Galadriel comments. I’ve always enjoyed the conversation threads that appear beneath my comments! You guys are awesome.
Valinor isn’t elf heaven. It’s a real place in Arda. Our Midgard. It’s just kept away from the poisoning of the lands themselves by Melkor. Now Morgoth. It’s just left untouched by the stain of Morgoth. ;) Aman used to be a part of lands that don’t exist anymore. Long before middle earth and Beleriand.
The story of Bilbo meeting Gandalf and getting the ring from Gollum is told in the book "The Hobbit", which Tolkien wrote before LOTR. Gandalf never fully understood what the ring was, but it did grant Gollum and Bilbo long life and turned them invisible when they put it on, so he had his suspicions. Hobbits, as it turns out, are remarkably resistant to the ring's corruption. This is why Frodo and Bilbo can pick it up without immediate danger, and Gandalf cannot. Bilbo held it for decades before he left, and he was finally starting to feel its effects.
Fun Fact: According to the book, during the mountain climb, it was actually the mountain itself creating the snow storm because it had a hatred for dwarves and elves. In the movie, they chose to show Saruman as simply waking the mountain up.
Also, consider breaking up the next two movies into multiple parts. If you do two videos per film for example, you'll get (roughly) double the views and likes for your channel. Either way, I'm just glad to see you reacting to this epic trilogy.
You must watch the extended version for the second and the third movies
Bilbo comes from a family that lived quite long for hobbits, so Gandalf just assumed that's probably why Bilbo lived so long.
There are many magical rings, more than just the great rings mentioned at the start. The One Ring was made to look like a minor ring, so Gandalf only knew Bilbo had some minor magical ring, but not the One Ring. Everyone assumed the One Ring fell in to the river and was swept out to sea after Isildur was killed.
Boromir's last stand is top 3 movie scenes of all time for me. I cry every time I watch it. Absolutely insane that LOTR had to wait until Return of the King to get showered with awards, the whole trilogy is a masterpiece
Please watch EXTENDED for the next movies!
One does not simply react to LOTR theatrical version...
One must react to LOTR extended version...
Great reaction, guys - sincerely hope you watch the other two movies in the trilogy!
Just one thing, Gandalf (and indeed, Saruman) is not "an old man", he is a wizard! (Actually, an Istar, more akin to an angel)
He is not affected by fighting, pain, etc in the same way as mortal men, and has incredible strength.
Not the extended? Com'onnn guys lol... Im still going to sub and watch the series because it's the G.O.A.T. of all movies!
Extended moving forward, please. 🍺🤘✌️
Lmao we’re not doing the extended their to long!
Credits roll: Wait that’s it?
Every time, and it never gets old!
Not doing the extended version is WEAKKKKK cmooon
