Hes not evil, just extremely bitter. Imagine u gotta deal with the same orc bullshit for thousands of years and you lost your immortal life partner. Shit would suck ass
Not to mention he has PTSD’s about the fall of Doriath in 1st Age and during the Last Alliance at the near end of 2nd Age, his father and most of their Silvan kins and armies were slaughtered near the doorsteps of Mordor in which would become known as the Dead Marshes, leaving only him and few others who survived this ordeal, the survivor’s guilt of Thranduil is really that immense, make sense since he’s an ancient Elf after all
@@Tom-Mac1975 I think this is Peter Jackson and his writers made up version of Thranduil about his wife not to mention the jewel necklace shit as well (in the book Thranduil actually desires the mountain’s treasures as well and thought it unprotected hence why the reason he made his move during the Battle of the Five Armies), also there was never any mention of his wife in any of Tolkien’s writings at all but we can speculate that either she’s dead or she’s very much well and alive, we can never know
Smaug talks, because some of the dragons of middle earth had the power of speech. They were created by Morgoth, the first dark lord, and were given intelligence. Morgoth's first Dragon was called Glaurung, and he was said to have had very powerful speech, with which he could pretty much bewitch his enemies.
“Necromancer” means someone who uses magic to bring the dead back to life or at or turn corpses into zombies. This was not the origin of Sauron, but as Sauron was regathering his power (still recovering from his defeat when he lost his ring 3000 years earlier), and he took station in Dol Goldur, people didn’t yet understand the mysterious personage there was Sauron, but took to calling him the Necromancer instead. In the real world, when Tolkien wrote The Hobbit in 1937 he had not formed the LOTR story yet and had not developed the Sauron character. “The Necromancer” was just some offscreen bad guy used as a plot device to pull away Gandalf from Thorin’s company so that the dwarves would get into trouble. Tolkien later retconned The Necromancer as an alias for the returning Sauron.
Fun fact about Bree and Hobbits. You were one of the only ones who noticed a Hobbit in Bree, very good. The fact is, Hobbits have been living in Bree longer than they have been living in the Shire.
These films definitely have a different feeling than the LOTR movies. Part of that is budget cuts, but part is because the Hobbit book was actually written for a younger audience. It’s geared towards kids. That’s why there’s less blood, the action scenes are sillier as opposed to dramatic and truly terrifying, etc.
@@papalaz4444244 and yet the violence still comes across as more cartoonish and toned down as opposed to frightening. It’s got a different vibe and feel than the LOTR films, which is all I said.
Morgoth created the Dragons as a secret weapon against the Elves in the First Age. The first of these was known Glaurung the Golden, Father of Dragons, flightless but possessed of a terrible cunning and fiery breath. Before he was full grown, Glaurung grew sick of waiting and went forth to attack the Elves who were maintaining the Siege of Angband, burning the plains of Ard-Galen and the Elvish settlements therein, but since he was not at his full strength, he ended up being driven back by Prince Fingon and his archers. Glaurung's essentially teenage defiance displeased Morgoth as it let his enemies know that he had more than Orcs in his arsenal. The biggest dragon of all time, Ancalagon the Black, was so large that when Earendil slew him and cast his corpse upon the peaks of Thangorodrim (three volcanoes that Morgoth had built his fortress of Angband under), he crushed them utterly. Smaug is an insect comparatively. After the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age where Morgoth was defeated, most of his dragons were also slain, but some few fled, journeying eastward to the far northern wastes of Middle-Earth (as Beleriand to the west had sunk into the sea). Over time, they bred, but becoming smaller and smaller with each generation without the influx of dark power from their lost Master. Since they had such a lust for gold, and the lands to the south were mainly the lands of the Dwarves, they raided southward and destroyed the Dwarven Kingdoms where they could, taking their treasure hoards for their own. Some also attacked the lands of the Men who dwelt in the northeast of Middle-Earth as well, but there were some who fought back, and the numbers of these fire-drakes slowly dwindled throughout the Third Age. Smaug is considered the last of the great dragons, although it is theorized by Gandalf that some few lesser species survived into the Fourth Age, whereupon they slowly became extinct.
Besides being greedy for gold, the Dragons in Tolkien are also incredibly intelligent and can sense magic. But they are also Very, very Vain... And love to tell anyone they stalk how great, perfect and powerful they are. Kind of a big Character flaw.... They were "Created" by Sauron's Master ; the Evil Valar, Melkor, who is also called Morgoth. and are on a near par with Sauron, the Balrogs or the Wizards, in their own dragon might.
You missed out on Gandalf finding Thrain in Dol Goldur, which means you are watching the theatrical versions. Oh, well... A lot of the really fantastic dialogue in this movie and the next one is verbatim from the book, even though a lot of the complexity of the book has been taken out. A necromacer is a wizard that deals with the dead - including being able to raise the dead and command them. When sauron reappears in middle earth he appears as a necromancer, which raises suspicion because a necromancer is, by definition, an evil calling, so the white council (Galadriel, Elrond, Saruman, Gandulf - and i think, Rhadagast) is formed to try to found out more about him. He appears in the Greenwood at the old elf fortress of Dol Goldur and evil things begin appearing in the Greenwood, which becomes known as Mirkwood. Because Gandalf suspects the necromancer is Sauron, he wants to get rid of Smaug because Smaug is super powerful and in alliance with Sauron would destroy the east, where the dwarves and other men live. I wont say too much more because it would be a spoiler but when Mordor rises again, Orc and Easterling armies under Sauron's command attack the dwarves, and the elves, including rivendell and Loth Lorien - which is why those people dont appear in the Lord of the rings at the end battle.
Sauron disguised himself as the necromancer, because he wanted to hide his true self until he had regained most of his strength. After the ring was cut from his finger some 3000 years before, he lost his physical form, and it took him many hundreds and indeed thousands of years to get at least some kind of physical form back, as well as his power. It's worth noting though that aftet the ring had bedn cut from his finger, he was never anywhere near as strong as he had been when he had the ring. According to the book lore, the ringwraiths either just faded, or hid until he regained his strength. They were never buried in tombs. Their power was directly related to his.
Rosie! I love these two! Part two is completed! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Just a few fun facts: Benedict Cumberbatch (Dr Strange) does the voice of both Smaug and the Necromancer! Thranduil's actor is also "Ronan" from Guardians of the Galaxy! I was curious if you had more questions but it seems you didn't really have much by the end! Excited for part 3 - BOTFA! Cheers guys!

The Necromancer is a cover for Sauron's return. 😮 Tauriel is another addition to the story by Peter Jackson. She is not in the book. They needed another female cast member other than Galadriel.

I chuckled when you observed Gandalf looked healthier in this movie because in terms of the timeline this was about 60 years before The Lord of the Rings.. 😁❤️
About 16:52 bro The Elvish King Thranduil didnt kidnap them.. He just arrest them because these dworfs entered Elves' land, passed their borders without permission..
🤦♀️Aww……damn dudes, why are y’all watching the theatrical version tho!? Maybe it’s not on purpose? If it is on purpose…why then?🤷♀️ I mean like yea, I know…it’s not like the end of the freaking world oss but imo you are definitely doing yourself a disservice in this particular case, that’s all. But oh well, either way I’m just stoked to see you guys react to this one as it’s by far my favorite of the trilogy and I’m sure that I’m not even remotely on my own in that thought! Cause I mean like seriously…there are so, sooo many reasons why it’s the best one out of the trilogy! But if I had to pick a top/favorite thing that just puts this movie so far above and beyond the others…I’d have to say that the absolute best part is…of course *Smaug*!!! Why?(tho idk why anyone would actually feel the need to ask such a thing in the first place…unless they’ve never seen the movie I guess🤷♀️if so…WTF are you even doing here, go watch it immediately ffs!🤦♀️😤😅) well, all I’ll say is that…imo he is the absolute BEST dragon ever put to screen, period! Sorry(not sorry) end of story! Try and change my mind? Don’t bother😂 But…regardless of the fact that I need not have to explain anymore about why he is so amazingly portrayed…nonetheless I do still want to give props where they are most definitely due…so I will say that, for as freaking awesome as Smaug looks in this movie…what truly seals the deal and makes him so damn awesome and memorable is…… THAT VOICE!!! Like FFS it’s brilliant y’all!🥹I mean no joke, I got full body goosebumps the first time he spoke! I actually saw it in theaters when it came out and HOLY SHIT my dudes I swear the bass in his voice felt like it legitimately rattled my damn brain ffs! 😱😳😵💫 Now look…I knew it was gonna be great as I heard that the absolute legend that is Benedict Cumberbatch was going to be voicing Smaug (and motion capture aswell😉👍) and all…but omfg it was beyond amazing hearing it and seeing it all come together was actually somewhat shocking to see/hear just how great and seamless it all was, especially for back then…hell, the fact that it still holds up and even surpasses some of the stuff that comes out now…it’s crazy to me that it still gives me goosebumps sometimes with a good set of headphones!(try it) But anyways…loved the reaction (as always 😉👍) my dudes!
No the Necromancer is NOT the origin of Sauron. Sauron is one of the Maiar, after Isildur cut the ring off his hand, Sauron became a spirit basically. The black shaddow is just to show his presence and location. The Necromancer form is between when he had a body and when LOTR takes place.
58:49-LOL at the scream when it looked like Smaug's fire was gonna get in their backsides...SOB spit more volume than 100 army flame throwers at once! The best , biggest and scariest dragon I've ever seen in a movie.
Two things. You will notice in Black Panther 1 Klaue is played by Gollum actor Andy Serkis, an Martin Freeman (Bilbo) is Ross. When he interrogating Klaue it’s Bilbo and Gollum reunited. Number two, the origins of Sauron, Galadriel, and Elrond all take place in the Amazon “Rings of Power” show which is set before Hobbit. It is about how the rings got forged, and how Mordor happened.
I'm sorry but The Teen Dwarf Awards took me out! you guys are so funny. Another great reaction! Can't wait for Battle of The 5 Armies. No spoilers, but Galadriel is one bad elf!
Bombor outran everyone because the actor is a runner, and wore running shoes instead of the costume shoes. For that reason you don't see them much below the waist for that scene. These movies you have to watch extended edition for the proper story. It doesn't matter as much for An Unexpected Journey but this one and Battle of Five Armies it's absolutely essential to watch Extended not Theatrical. You miss out on an EPIC scene if you don't watch extended for BOFA and you won't understand it if you don't watch extended for this one. Watch extended on your own time and then react to the RIGHT version of the next.
54:42 wounded by Morgul's blade a creature goes into world of shadows. Eyes in this world see the real things as uncolored, gray but an elves spirits truly looks bright as it is an pure and clear. So magic into this moment was an that Athelas's heal effect, not makes by elven speech or elf personally. Elves names it 'skill' not 'power' word for that so it is ordinnary thing.
I don't know if his health was bad. But Ian mckellan had a couple mental issues with this movie because in this movie, he was beside dwarfs and hobbits, so pretty much all of his scenes, or most of them were done alone.In front of a green screen... You can imagine for months that's pretty hard
They constructed an open-sided barrel for the camera to see into, sat each dwarf actor in it in turn, and dumped real fish on top of them. It was one of the most unpleasant things they had to do for filming. 😄 Of course, the more fanciful shots on the river were green screen composites and/or CGI ("Legolas standing on one Legolas" 😂), but quite a bit of the barrel ride was practical. Stunt men rode down the roughest parts, while closer shots were of the actors. Even some of the actor shots were through pretty rough waters.
Oh man definitely enjoying these, kinda sad that it took 2 months for this, but oh well we can't have everything. No extended version though? missing some stuff.
You should watch the Rankin-Bass 1970’s Hobbit cartoon. It’s definitely child like, but wonderful. (Don’t miss Narnia, either) Back that up with the legendary “Wizards” Ralph Bakshi Wild
So you have Dungeons and Dragons, a fantasy based role-playing game, which borrows heavily on J.R.R. Tolkien's lore. A were creature is a hybrid. Part man part animal. One type of many. In D&D you have Werewolves, Werebears, Owlbears, Centaurs (Human upper torso/horse lower body. For flyers you have Griffins (half giant eagle half lion), Harpy's (Female human head/body of a vulture), Chimaera which are part Goat/Dragon/Lion (it has three heads), Manticores which are lions with a human face and wings, etc...pretty crazy stuff I know. 😂
Just a small recap. I am at 26:11 and i already had 5 unskipable adbreaks. Probably YT is behind all this but honestly you can’t be mad ad ppl using adblockers. Its really annoying… Besides that i love your content!
@@TheOctobersReactin total it were 11. I get it that you guys want to make a living and that is totally fine. Like i said, i think yt is behind that. they did this in the past and they abuse their creators and the viewer on a regular basis
The love triangle between elves and dwarf is ludicrous. Nowhere in the vast writings of JRR Tolkien did dwarves and elves ever intermarry or procreate. In fact, Elves and Men were created by Illuvatar, but Dwarves were created by Aule instead. I think this would make it impossible for crossbreeding. I also don't like the idea of making some of the dwarves more "human" and "better looking" to facilitate this farce. I read that everyone on set was opposed to the love interest but the producers did it anyway. Rant over lol. Carry on. I still love ya'lls reaction!

@TheOctobersReact you should watch the extended edition it shows more extra scenes and all 🙂
The collective noun for spiders is a "clutter" or "cluster".
Smaug is actually the smallest dragon in the hobbit and lord of the rings universe he looks big cause he’s measured in size by hobbits and dwarves

Smaug is my favorite dragon in movie history.
You might have heard who voiced him. He's also a Marvel hero.
Smaug and puff the magic dragon. :)
Remember guys, for the last one. Extended edition is the way, yall miss some good stuff on this one. Don't miss the extended on the third
Man biting the carrot first scene...Peter Jackson
The scene with Gollum was classic. If he doesn't like the scene, his issue isn't with the movie it's with Tolkien's writing.

There is so much more in the extended version. So much about Thorin's father was taken out of this version.

So magic into this moment was an that Athelas's heal effect, not makes by elven speech or elf personally. Elves names it 'skill' not 'power' word for that so it is ordinnary thing.
"InvisiBilbo" (when he wears the ring) 😂😂
A necromancer is specifically one who can raise the dead.
Awesome guys ❤
This is my favorite of the three hobbit movies. Great reaction again. Love the necromonster.
I love this trilogy, so underrated in my opinion and awesome reaction guys.
A group of spiders is called a "cluster" or a "clutter".
A necromancer is a wizard that deals with the dead
I don't know if his health was bad. But Ian mckellan had a couple mental issues with this movie because in this movie, he was beside dwarfs and hobbits, so pretty much all of his scenes, or most of them were done alone.In front of a green screen... You can imagine for months that's pretty hard
In my head cannon a group of spiders is an Ick of Spiders.
great song by Ed Sheeran that plays over the end credits. "I See Fire".
They constructed an open-sided barrel for the camera to see into, sat each dwarf actor in it in turn, and dumped real fish on top of them. It was one of the most unpleasant things they had to do for filming. 😄
Of course, the more fanciful shots on the river were green screen composites and/or CGI ("Legolas standing on one Legolas" 😂), but quite a bit of the barrel ride was practical. Stunt men rode down the roughest parts, while closer shots were of the actors. Even some of the actor shots were through pretty rough waters.
Oh man definitely enjoying these, kinda sad that it took 2 months for this, but oh well we can't have everything. No extended version though? missing some stuff.
In northern European myth and tolkien, dragon's talk, they also.can charm
Thanksss finally!
such a long time from the first one!
I like Thrunduil character!
You should watch the Rankin-Bass 1970’s Hobbit cartoon.
It’s definitely child like, but wonderful.
(Don’t miss Narnia, either)
Back that up with the legendary
“Wizards”
Ralph Bakshi
Wild
For fuck sake. Snow white was written before Hobbit (btw first book of the LOTR series) the 7 dwarf families are a reference to Snow white.
Sherlock addresses Dr Watson in the case of arkenstone
9:56 in this trio he’s younger than the other stories. Gandolph
Do not speak of him if you cannot even fricken spell his name correctly.
@@cp368productions2 auto spell when talking
The Hobbit trilogy is just as epic as the original LOTR trilogy in my opinion wait til u see the third Hobbit it's so perfect
Yassss finally hahaha. Let's gooo
This gives me an idea: watch the hobbit animated movie (1977, NOT 1966) too some time
So you have Dungeons and Dragons, a fantasy based role-playing game, which borrows heavily on J.R.R. Tolkien's lore. A were creature is a hybrid. Part man part animal. One type of many. In D&D you have Werewolves, Werebears, Owlbears, Centaurs (Human upper torso/horse lower body. For flyers you have Griffins (half giant eagle half lion), Harpy's (Female human head/body of a vulture), Chimaera which are part Goat/Dragon/Lion (it has three heads), Manticores which are lions with a human face and wings, etc...pretty crazy stuff I know. 😂
16:32 Is that Ronan from GOTG?
14:57 And Wasp from Ant-Man.
Hi guys I love your reaction to this movie the dragon is my favorite part this movie. 🐉🐲🔥💀 I am fire I am Death !!!
the dragon looked like how a dragon should foreal!
@@TheOctobersReact So true but I do love the person who voiced the dragon and the way he breathed fire.
👁️❤🔥🐉!!!
Necromancer is a master over the dead.✌️
Haven't you seen Society of the Snow ? I recommend it.
Read the book. You will understand the movie a lot more😊
Hey octobers have you ever thought of maybe diving into the fast and the furious just an idea if you all are ever interested
After The Hobbit - Rings of Power next!
Let's Get it 😃👁👄👁
Smaug is the best part of this movie. Benedict Cumberbatch did a great job.
You should react to Across the Spiderverse next!
Smug? Seriously? The name is even in the title and you couldn't spell Smaug correctly.
Also the next movie will explain the necromancer I can't really tell u anything u have to watch it
Just a small recap.
I am at 26:11 and i already had 5 unskipable adbreaks.
Probably YT is behind all this but honestly you can’t be mad ad ppl using adblockers.
Its really annoying…
Besides that i love your content!
Whoa.. that’s annoying I’m sorry about that
@@TheOctobersReactin total it were 11.
I get it that you guys want to make a living and that is totally fine.
Like i said, i think yt is behind that. they did this in the past and they abuse their creators and the viewer on a regular basis
Bravo.
The love triangle between elves and dwarf is ludicrous. Nowhere in the vast writings of JRR Tolkien did dwarves and elves ever intermarry or procreate. In fact, Elves and Men were created by Illuvatar, but Dwarves were created by Aule instead. I think this would make it impossible for crossbreeding. I also don't like the idea of making some of the dwarves more "human" and "better looking" to facilitate this farce. I read that everyone on set was opposed to the love interest but the producers did it anyway. Rant over lol. Carry on. I still love ya'lls reaction!
I'm only several minutes in, but stop calling Evangeline Lilly "Cate".....lol.
🤘🏿
Get the tissues ready for "The Battle of the Five Armies".
👋 peeps
My ex was a fan of this trilogy. I pretended these were as good as LOTR because i was simping.
That ain’t good
