imagine if noone ever tried because for centuries they'd all been told it wouldn't work, and all it takes is one heroic dwarf to actually give it a go XD
well "plot armor" thing is always kind of anticlimactic because it defies ALL logic. So it's fairly logical to assume it's possible to destroy One Ring in more ways than just molten rock. Also lava isn't actually that hot in the first place... It's enough to melt gold, yes, but that can be achieved in many different ways. Of course one might say "Mount Doom" is magical but so is all damn Middle Earth...
It's a pretty good and well done example of "show, don't tell". Only after that futile attempt does Elrond explain, why destroying the ring is not easy-peasy and that's much more obvious now.
@@Promilus1984 Right, it's not about temperature or tools, but about magic. It's not the material that protects the ring, but it's enchantment which is connected to mount doom and thereby can only be undone there, because... magic ;-). Magic is always a pretty nifty plot tool, because you can just define how it works in your world and don't need to explain the "why" as the characters themselves don't know and also because magic is per definition anti-scientific and doesn't obey the rules of nature.
@@n35ql The dwarves can't be corrupted in the way Sauron intended. Which was power. Dwarves just gave into their base desires, by their rings influence, and would've done the same with the One Ring. So, in a sense, they can be corrupted. Just not really in a beneficial way to Sauron
@@n35ql That's fairly accurate. The dwarves are made from stone by the Smith God (Aule, I think his name was, but I may be misremembering), and like stone, they are hard to move. The rings can't make them crave power or conquest because that just isn't how they were made. It can only work with what is in them, which is a love of all beautiful things beneath the earth, metals, jewels, stone, etc. So, it won't make them go out and conquer, but instead fuel their desire to have more of the beautiful things and use them to craft even more beautiful things. That's how it would get them, but then Sauron can't use them to do anything with them. The ring has trouble with hobbits because the hobbits don't actually naturally desire anything other than simple pleasures and are very content by nature, so the ring doesn't know how to appeal to them, as shown in the book when it tries to tempt Sam and all it can do is offer him a big garden, to which he basically replies, "Yeah, but how would I tend to it?" Even so, it did get Frodo eventually. The ring gets everyone if it has enough time.

There are 3 characters that have had amazing feats regarding the One Ring. Gimli: The only one who actually went through with an attempt to destroy the One Ring.

(Sam did give it back to Frodo, but he had it nowhere near as long as Bilbo.) Tom Bombadil: The One Ring has zero effect on him, but given his unknown nature and origin, it’s lowest on the list.
@@Mousse9 And don't forget both Galadriel and Gandalf refused the ring when it was offered to them. Plus Sam gave it back to Frodo after rescuing him.
@@Mousse9 While Bilbo did have possession of it for an incredible length of time, he was almost always very far from Mordor and not in any danger. Frodo's resistance is arguably more incredible. He held to the quest right up until reaching Sammath Naur. Also, Gimli's attempt was an invention of the movies. That aside, I think anyone at the council other than Frodo and Bilbo (due to their prolonged exposure) would have been able of trying to destroy the ring at that moment.
DM: After you have discussed amongst yourselves, Elrond rises from his seat and says "You have only one choice, the ring must be destroyed." The feintest whispers of evil can be heard from the ring. Gimli's Player: What are we waiting for? I would like to take my Father's rune engraved axe and smash the ring on the stone table. DM: This ring is a magical artifact that is engraved with the will of an ancient Necromancer. You can certainly try but you might look foolish in front of the others if you fail. Boromir's Player: Hold on, I still think we can use this ring, I got a good will save. Aragorn's Player: Nah, we got to destroy it in that volcano it's going to corrupt you. I thought that's what the majority us wanted, Sam, Frodo, and Gandalf also agree. Legolas's Player: Go ahead, there's no way you are going to destroy that ring. DM: You are going to have to roll at disadvantage and roll a d100 to determine the effect that might happen. Gimli's Player: I'm still going for it, I let out a battle cry and smash the ring, _rolls dice, gets 2 natural 20's and rolls a 100._ Everyone at the table cheers except Legoals's character who is in disbelief. DM: …The ring splits before you and the whispers of evil are no more. The Eye of Sauron atop of Baradur fades away and collapses, Elrond and the other Council members stare in awe what was witnessed. Due to this heroic act, and the morale of Sauron's military forces essentially collapsed, your feat has spread across the land and it's people have chosen you as High King. Congratulations! EDIT: Next Week: All the players: Last session was epic, but what do we do now for a campaign? DM: Well, if you want to continue in Middle Earth, there are unresolved threats, I have Saruman the White's Uruk-hai Army approaching Rohan...oh...and I have this cave fortress...Or we could do a prequel campaign? I have this Dragon that overtook the dwarven city of Erebor...
Not how it works, though. An a natural 20 is not really anything special. 5% of all throws are on average a natural 20, so it would just be stupid to link anything wondrous to it.
@@miriamweller812 While it was explained pretty hard to understand (natural 20 and d100). I think it is supposed to be that he rolls 2 d100 (which might be sets of d10s to make up a single 100 sided dice) and both lands on 100 which would be a one in ten thousand chance. Which in dnd terms might be enough to break the campaign lol.
@@simonwahlen7150 Rolling 100 on two ten siders (two 10s) is a 1 in 100 chance. All the results of percentile dice are 1 in 100. Still, the odds of rolling two nat 20s and THEN a 100? That's WAY tougher. Or were you saying he rolled 100s twice? That's not what the post said. Two nat 20s in a row followed by 100 on the percentile dice (d100).
Reducing a 10 hour trilogy to the length of a TikTok....impressive, now the younger gens can also enjoy Tolkiens magic with this attention span corrected masterpiece

Elrond: The ring can only be destroyed by throwing it into the fires of Mt Doom. Gimli: How do you know that’s the only way? Elrond: Well I don’t, that’s what’s been told. Gimli: Time to find out! 😂😂😂
Gimli was the only one thinking right. They would've felt really stupid if they'd made the entire trek to Mt Doom, only to find out they could've destroyed the ring at any time just by hitting it really hard. This actually applies to the real world. When people asked me to diagnose and fix computer problems, I used to listen to the symptoms, then try to fix it in order of most likely to least likely cause of the problem. Eventually i figured out that the most time-efficient method is to try to fix it in order of easiest to try to hardest to try (using likeliness of cause to filter out solutions unlikely to work). Hitting the ring really hard is really easy and really quick to try.
@@solandri69 I can understand you well. With detective games, I have also noticed that it is sometimes unexpectedly easy. Group: Hmm, how can we find the killer in this game. I just ask a player who seems suspicious to me politely. "Are you the murderer?" This player: Yes, hahaha ^^ - fun. Me: Okay has confessed, let's reveal who she is and throw her out of the game. Who was she: Well, the killer. It was wo easy. An innocent person would defend himself and leave not the slightest doubt that he is not the murderer. He has no interest in expanding the circle of suspects to himself. The "murderer" in the game adopts a different way of thinking about his role. He must remain calm, not show panic and deceive the masses. The murderer was so focused on appearing calm and self-confident that he did not see the most obvious trap coming, namely that he was simply believed.
@@mateuszslawinski1990 He was correct tho, no-one on Middle Earth can or did destroy the ring. Frodo brought it to Mt Doom to be sure however Sauron's design worked and Frodo claimed it.
what i like about the real scene is that as much as boromir was falling for the ring in that council, that ring was doing the same to everyone sitting there, all the elves, aragorn, the dwarves, elron, gandalf. the ring was promising everything to every last one of them, and gimli still tried to destroy it like it was nothing to him.
Important thing to note is that, since the ring fell into Mount Doom accidentally during the struggle between Frodo and Gollum, Gimli is canonically the only person in history who tried to destroy the one ring instead of keeping it for themselves. He failed of course but he still tried.
Yes Plenty of people have the intent to destroy it, but never take the action, take the action but never intended it, or have the opportunity to, but don't, but Gimli is the only person who looked at the ring, understood what it was, decided to destroy it, and then took an action that, in his mind, could conceivably lead to the ring's destruction. Not lead to its destruction by way of putting a domino on the path, or being one of a hundred hands to do it, but just actually trying to destroy it.
At least how I interpret it, it's impossible to knowingly, feasibly, and intentionally destroy the Ring, all three at once. Knowingly destroying the Ring is any attempt within your knowledge you think could destroy it Feasibly is having this actually work And intentionally is to go through with that action of your own accord and will. So, Frodo and Isildur had knowingly and feasibly, but not intentionally (Since they couldn't go through with it) Gollum had feasibly, but not intentionally Gandalf had intentionally, but not knowingly and feasibly (The fireplace couldn't destroy the ring, and he knew that) And in the case of Gimli, he had knowingly and intentionally, but not feasibly. As I see it, you can try to destroy the Ring of your own accord as long as it isn't something that actually will do it.
That axe was also made in the fires of Mount Doom.😂 Gandalf remains grey and then the council laugh of how much time and countless of lives they saved.
He had to hit it to make viewers understand that there was no other option to destroy it. If there were only rumours about it, people would question it
For they were all deceived! For in the cracks of mount doom a member of Durin's folk forged a master axe. One Axe to cut them all in swinging it, breaks them.
"The ring can only be destroyed by the fires of Mordor!" said the stupid preening elves. Gimli stood, ignoring them "Well what are we waiting for?" grunted Gimli, hefting his great axe The Fires of Mordor.
Sauron is the only villain in the history of literature who has an entire saga written in his name and who does not even get a chance to fight his enemies in the final confrontation.
Sauron. One of the OG classic fantasy villains. The terror of Middle Earth. And also a guy whose backstory includes losing not once, not twice, but THREE whole times,* and who then doesn't even show up in person for the entirety of the series. * Gets beat up by an Elven princess and her dog in the First age, gets sent running by the Numenoreans in the mid-Second Age, and then gets defeated by Isildur at the end of the Second Age/start of the Third Age.
@kilerog he does tend to lose, unfortunately he also tends to take a lot of people with him, badly weakening them for next time and he's generally pretty good at rebounding so it still takes two whole ages to actually bring him down completly
Gimli was just a mundane dwarf with an axe and tried to destroy the ring. Gandalf was basically a divine being with magic so powerful he killed a balrog... and didn't even try something
@@revengance4149 No, he's smart enough to know you shouldn't try. Everyone else there knows it's virtually indestructible. Gimli really thought it was that simple? He broke his axe and landed on his ass. He's retarded and it shows throughout the rest of the trilogy.
@@revengance4149 not really an idiot, just thought it futile to try, as well as the ring actively preventing anyone from wanting to destroy it. It's part of what makes gimli such an outlier in the movies that he was actually willing to try destroying it and thinking he might actually succeed, though I've seen people say that the ring knew it wouldn't be destroyed by the axe and so didn't bother trying to exert its will over gimli to prevent him from destroying it. Then again, in the books when Frodo is even contemplating throwing the ring into a fireplace to destroy it when Gandalf asked him he noticed that he'd suddenly put the ring back in his pocket without even realizing it, so even 'ring knew it wouldn't be destroyed so it didn't bother trying to prevent its destruction' is flawed
@@BaneofGods that's very insightful. I was just trying to point out that ben missed Maverick's point. that being that they should've tried to destroy it themselves before marching of to Mordor, and that the most powerful one should've tried that being Gandalf. Not that Gimli shouldn't have tried but rather that Gandalf should've tried. the question of if Gandalf could even have the willpower to try in the first place is a difficult question. I'm pretty sure that dwarfs are pretty good at resisting the control of the ring though
I have always wondered; was the ring actually indestructible or just very strong? what do acids do to it? thermite? how about high explosive shaped charges?
Gandalf was so amazed that he turned white in seconds
And Gimli saved Saruman's life... oh wait, he still attacks Rohan and falls.
just washed his hair for ceremony.
Was the shockwave
@@bro-dude99 I don't get why the eagles couldn't just fly everyone out before Gimli hits it
He did not even needed to defeat the Balrog to receive XP to go to the next level (White Mage). He went in one go.
to be fair..he IS the only being at that council to even try.

Well no, Gandalf throws it in the fireplace at Bilbo's
@@Mousse9 While Bilbo did have possession of it for an incredible length of time, he was almost always very far from Mordor and not in any danger. Frodo's resistance is arguably more incredible. He held to the quest right up until reaching Sammath Naur.
Also, Gimli's attempt was an invention of the movies. That aside, I think anyone at the council other than Frodo and Bilbo (due to their prolonged exposure) would have been able of trying to destroy the ring at that moment.
@@gavinjenkins899 I think Gandalf knew it wouldn’t harm the One Ring. It wouldn’t count as an attempt to destroy it.
All hail Gimli, son of Gloin, King under the Hills, destroyer of the Ring, savior of the Middle Earth!!!
Mother of Dragons
DM: After you have discussed amongst yourselves, Elrond rises from his seat and says "You have only one choice, the ring must be destroyed." The feintest whispers of evil can be heard from the ring.
Gimli's Player: What are we waiting for? I would like to take my Father's rune engraved axe and smash the ring on the stone table.
DM: This ring is a magical artifact that is engraved with the will of an ancient Necromancer. You can certainly try but you might look foolish in front of the others if you fail.
Boromir's Player: Hold on, I still think we can use this ring, I got a good will save.
Aragorn's Player: Nah, we got to destroy it in that volcano it's going to corrupt you. I thought that's what the majority us wanted, Sam, Frodo, and Gandalf also agree.
Legolas's Player: Go ahead, there's no way you are going to destroy that ring.
DM: You are going to have to roll at disadvantage and roll a d100 to determine the effect that might happen.
Gimli's Player: I'm still going for it, I let out a battle cry and smash the ring, _rolls dice, gets 2 natural 20's and rolls a 100._
Everyone at the table cheers except Legoals's character who is in disbelief.
DM: …The ring splits before you and the whispers of evil are no more. The Eye of Sauron atop of Baradur fades away and collapses, Elrond and the other Council members stare in awe what was witnessed. Due to this heroic act, and the morale of Sauron's military forces essentially collapsed, your feat has spread across the land and it's people have chosen you as High King. Congratulations!
EDIT:
Next Week: All the players: Last session was epic, but what do we do now for a campaign?
DM: Well, if you want to continue in Middle Earth, there are unresolved threats, I have Saruman the White's Uruk-hai Army approaching Rohan...oh...and I have this cave fortress...Or we could do a prequel campaign? I have this Dragon that overtook the dwarven city of Erebor...
*The dm throws a Large Annotated note book and a pile of Maps into the fire place.*
See you all in 6 months cause I now need to write a new campaign.
@@tanith117 Nah, Gollum just shows up at the next 'random encounter' wearing a gaudy necklace.
Not how it works, though. An a natural 20 is not really anything special. 5% of all throws are on average a natural 20, so it would just be stupid to link anything wondrous to it.
@@miriamweller812 While it was explained pretty hard to understand (natural 20 and d100). I think it is supposed to be that he rolls 2 d100 (which might be sets of d10s to make up a single 100 sided dice) and both lands on 100 which would be a one in ten thousand chance. Which in dnd terms might be enough to break the campaign lol.
@@simonwahlen7150 Rolling 100 on two ten siders (two 10s) is a 1 in 100 chance. All the results of percentile dice are 1 in 100.
Still, the odds of rolling two nat 20s and THEN a 100? That's WAY tougher.
Or were you saying he rolled 100s twice? That's not what the post said. Two nat 20s in a row followed by 100 on the percentile dice (d100).
The axe destroyed the ring because Gimli’s axe was covered in Eowyn’s stew
how evil enchanting! 😂
so you know it's good 👌
@@H4Tzelthe man of culture
Noooo. 😆
+2 d10 poison damage
"I hit it with my axe"
"No the mcguffin is immune to damage exept from adamantite"
"My axe is adamantite"
"WHAT ?"
And so Gimli holds the record of any% speedrun.
Reducing a 10 hour trilogy to the length of a TikTok....impressive, now the younger gens can also enjoy Tolkiens magic with this attention span corrected masterpiece
Can you imagine them watching all 3 Extended Cut movies in 1 day?
The extended editions are trash. Theatrical versions are better.
No Peter Jackson I don't want to watch your nature documentary about mount bogancunt. It's not interesting and it's not fun.
@@SirNilzey It is to me. Your point is invalidated.
@@becausebuzzbomb6133 dangit
They still have to get to Rivendell. So half a movie?
Elrond: The ring can only be destroyed by throwing it into the fires of Mt Doom.
Gimli: How do you know that’s the only way?
Elrond: Well I don’t, that’s what’s been told.
Gimli: Time to find out!
😂😂😂
Gimli was the only one thinking right. They would've felt really stupid if they'd made the entire trek to Mt Doom, only to find out they could've destroyed the ring at any time just by hitting it really hard.
This actually applies to the real world. When people asked me to diagnose and fix computer problems, I used to listen to the symptoms, then try to fix it in order of most likely to least likely cause of the problem.
Eventually i figured out that the most time-efficient method is to try to fix it in order of easiest to try to hardest to try (using likeliness of cause to filter out solutions unlikely to work). Hitting the ring really hard is really easy and really quick to try.
@@solandri69 I can understand you well. With detective games, I have also noticed that it is sometimes unexpectedly easy.
Group: Hmm, how can we find the killer in this game.
I just ask a player who seems suspicious to me politely. "Are you the murderer?"
This player: Yes, hahaha ^^ - fun.
Me: Okay has confessed, let's reveal who she is and throw her out of the game.
Who was she: Well, the killer.
It was wo easy.
An innocent person would defend himself and leave not the slightest doubt that he is not the murderer. He has no interest in expanding the circle of suspects to himself.
The "murderer" in the game adopts a different way of thinking about his role. He must remain calm, not show panic and deceive the masses.
The murderer was so focused on appearing calm and self-confident that he did not see the most obvious trap coming, namely that he was simply believed.
Given how arrogant Sauron was it's quite possible the Ring might not be protected against crushing/cutting/smashing damage at all.
Arrogant yes but come on... he's not stupid xD
@@DaciValt He didn't consider possibility to destroy it, so it counts.
@@mateuszslawinski1990 He was correct tho, no-one on Middle Earth can or did destroy the ring.
Frodo brought it to Mt Doom to be sure however Sauron's design worked and Frodo claimed it.
I knew exactly what this was going to be and I was still pleasantly surprised. Hehehe..
Truly a "Short King!!" 😎
I was sooo hoping the laughing would be at the rnd and there it is 😂😂😂😂😂
what i like about the real scene is that as much as boromir was falling for the ring in that council, that ring was doing the same to everyone sitting there, all the elves, aragorn, the dwarves, elron, gandalf. the ring was promising everything to every last one of them, and gimli still tried to destroy it like it was nothing to him.
That tiddly ring couldn't fit his sheer girth. What promises could he possibly care about?
Never trust an elf!
He was more worried about the elves keeping the ring for themselves.
His racism made him do the right thing. Absolute Chad.
Racism is chad and based
I was neither drink, nor food, nor a hairy woman... it was nothing to him.
Important thing to note is that, since the ring fell into Mount Doom accidentally during the struggle between Frodo and Gollum, Gimli is canonically the only person in history who tried to destroy the one ring instead of keeping it for themselves. He failed of course but he still tried.
Yes
Plenty of people have the intent to destroy it, but never take the action, take the action but never intended it, or have the opportunity to, but don't, but Gimli is the only person who looked at the ring, understood what it was, decided to destroy it, and then took an action that, in his mind, could conceivably lead to the ring's destruction.
Not lead to its destruction by way of putting a domino on the path, or being one of a hundred hands to do it, but just actually trying to destroy it.
At least how I interpret it, it's impossible to knowingly, feasibly, and intentionally destroy the Ring, all three at once.
Knowingly destroying the Ring is any attempt within your knowledge you think could destroy it
Feasibly is having this actually work
And intentionally is to go through with that action of your own accord and will.
So, Frodo and Isildur had knowingly and feasibly, but not intentionally (Since they couldn't go through with it)
Gollum had feasibly, but not intentionally
Gandalf had intentionally, but not knowingly and feasibly (The fireplace couldn't destroy the ring, and he knew that)
And in the case of Gimli, he had knowingly and intentionally, but not feasibly. As I see it, you can try to destroy the Ring of your own accord as long as it isn't something that actually will do it.
"Man, the guy swore this couldn't happen... knew I should have gotten the warranty"
- Sauron
That axe was also made in the fires of Mount Doom.😂 Gandalf remains grey and then the council laugh of how much time and countless of lives they saved.
that still counts as one! 🤣
He had to hit it to make viewers understand that there was no other option to destroy it. If there were only rumours about it, people would question it
This feels like a late 2000s video, in the best kinda way.
Well done.
For they were all deceived! For in the cracks of mount doom a member of Durin's folk forged a master axe. One Axe to cut them all in swinging it, breaks them.
this laugh in the end 😂
"The ring can only be destroyed by the fires of Mordor!" said the stupid preening elves. Gimli stood, ignoring them "Well what are we waiting for?" grunted Gimli, hefting his great axe The Fires of Mordor.
Rock and stone, brother!
Sauron is the only villain in the history of literature who has an entire saga written in his name and who does not even get a chance to fight his enemies in the final confrontation.
Sauron. One of the OG classic fantasy villains. The terror of Middle Earth. And also a guy whose backstory includes losing not once, not twice, but THREE whole times,* and who then doesn't even show up in person for the entirety of the series.
* Gets beat up by an Elven princess and her dog in the First age, gets sent running by the Numenoreans in the mid-Second Age, and then gets defeated by Isildur at the end of the Second Age/start of the Third Age.
@kilerog he does tend to lose, unfortunately he also tends to take a lot of people with him, badly weakening them for next time and he's generally pretty good at rebounding so it still takes two whole ages to actually bring him down completly
This is what he thought was going to happen
This is perfect, and came onto my feed at the perfect time. Thank you, I really needed this
I've seen this "ending" a couple of times, but this is probably the best edit
This was my favorite movie. It gets straight to the point.
And you can watch it hundreds of times a day
This was fantastic, I love your reinterpretation of the story!
When he said we have his axe, he wasn't fooling around
"And you have my ax... well, what's left of it. Don't worry, I know a guy who can fix this. Will probably buff right out"
In his mind, things would work like this 😂😂😂😂
He had never seen his axe fail up to that point 😄
@Jessieg274 Dwarves say that all the time... 😂
I gotta say, I knew exactly where this was going. I still clicked on it, and I still enjoyed it.
This is even shorter than the alternate storyline where the eagles flew Frodo and Sam to Mount Doom.
When you roll a natural 20 and the DM didn't think it through beforehand.
Gimli was just a mundane dwarf with an axe and tried to destroy the ring. Gandalf was basically a divine being with magic so powerful he killed a balrog... and didn't even try something
True, Gimli's an idiot.
@@benmoore8809 his point is that Gandalf is an idiot for not trying.
@@revengance4149 No, he's smart enough to know you shouldn't try. Everyone else there knows it's virtually indestructible. Gimli really thought it was that simple? He broke his axe and landed on his ass. He's retarded and it shows throughout the rest of the trilogy.
@@revengance4149 not really an idiot, just thought it futile to try, as well as the ring actively preventing anyone from wanting to destroy it. It's part of what makes gimli such an outlier in the movies that he was actually willing to try destroying it and thinking he might actually succeed, though I've seen people say that the ring knew it wouldn't be destroyed by the axe and so didn't bother trying to exert its will over gimli to prevent him from destroying it. Then again, in the books when Frodo is even contemplating throwing the ring into a fireplace to destroy it when Gandalf asked him he noticed that he'd suddenly put the ring back in his pocket without even realizing it, so even 'ring knew it wouldn't be destroyed so it didn't bother trying to prevent its destruction' is flawed
@@BaneofGods that's very insightful. I was just trying to point out that ben missed Maverick's point. that being that they should've tried to destroy it themselves before marching of to Mordor, and that the most powerful one should've tried that being Gandalf. Not that Gimli shouldn't have tried but rather that Gandalf should've tried. the question of if Gandalf could even have the willpower to try in the first place is a difficult question. I'm pretty sure that dwarfs are pretty good at resisting the control of the ring though
Days of Gimli, my kind of soap opera
When u do that one glitch to at let’s you skip the whole game
I love how Elrond just rises from the bottom of the screen to say his part
The ring can only be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom or by a Goblin Mutant.
"this still only counts as one!" - Legolas.
I love the png cutout you inserted when the crown was being placed on his head. Just seems so fitting.
That dumb laugh he does always gets me. I love it.
Legolas: "That STILL only Counts as One!"
Elron: "The ring must be destroyed, Mr. Anderson!"
Only if it's that easy 😂 Gimli is such a comic relief character and yet he knows how to fight. Perfect character.
I have always wondered; was the ring actually indestructible or just very strong? what do acids do to it? thermite? how about high explosive shaped charges?
I was half-expecting to see Gandalf putting the crown on his own head 😅
I knew exactly what this video would be before even watching it and was not disappointed, down to finishing it with a Gimli laugh. 10/10
I love how i knew the video would end with Gimli laugh. At this point its just a law to add it at the end of a gimly meme vid
that gimli at the end xD placing it down thats some NEXT level cgi
I wouldn't mind living in the days of Gimli.
Durirrin folk have been turned into Gimli folk.
I always appreciated the film dealt with the question so the audience could see why the mission to Mount Doom was necessary.
DM "He rolled a NAT 20, what was I supposed to say?"
This video was exactly what i thought it'd be, and im happy with that
And this is why Gimli was allowed into the Undying Lands
Perfect editing! 😂
“You should never underestimate dwarves.”
lets don't forget he has his axe back in the next scene... always good to have a backup axe when destroying a ring of power
No one realize (but ME!) that Gimli is indeed FACTUAL as Tom Bombadil.
now this is perfection!
speedrun any %
All the dwarf women gonna come out of hiding for this one
this is what you can achieve when you make your bed
More lore accurate than the Amazon travesty!
thought he said "Give it to mr. Anderson" He is now an assasin and will destroy it with a pencil. 😅
Gimli went from practical side of a work
Gimli rolled a nat. 20
Even better and more accurate than rings of powers
Glimli does become a dwarf king later on after the Lord of the Rings.
Well, that would have saved about 8 hours of theater time.
That, my friend Gimli, still counts as One.
Well played, sir! 😂🎉
This movie is over twenty years old. Let that sink in.
Now he has a whole kingdom to toss him!
YOU! can tossoff this Dwarf!
I love the dumb laugh at the end.
I'd like to know how Amazon would remake this video.
At least in 2024 we learn that souron was apparently hot. The lore has expanded in unpredictable way.
ROCK! AND! STONE!
And Boromir was already halfway through building his catapult. Maybe next time...
What a short sprint can do for you.
Gimli destroyed the ring calmy...
I could have bought the small popcorn with this version.
The Gimli overdub did it for me... makes it look like Gimli edited this himself to impress someone
