Fellowship of the Ring is a masterpi-

>even the bad scenes are memorable
Holy...

Every great movie has a bizarre scene

>>212716551 (OP)
What's wrong with it? I liked it. It's very dreamlike.

And to think they even brought this back in the Hobbit(where it makes even less sense)... LMAO

I wanna watch a LOTR YouTube reaction but I'm too afraid to click any of the thumbnails I see when I search for it. It all just feels so disingenuous and over the top and fake.

Any recs for a decent fairly genuine one?

>>212716551 (OP)
This isn't nearly as bad as the demonic galadriel shit

>>212716895
how about u watch me react to fucking your mom u fucking faggot

>>212716895
>genuine reaction video
I think your instincts are correct and that those don't exist. Maybe try watching the thing it's reacting to instead

>>212716770
Galadriel was objectively one of the strongest beings outside of the undying lands.
Sauron was so spooked by her and Elrond his plan was to literally burn the rest of the west to the ground before he focused all his forces on them (especially if he doesn't have the ring).

>>212716895
>I wanna watch a LOTR YouTube reaction
Why?
I don't get the appeal of this shit. I think the only time I ever watched one of those was because I was down a primus rabbit hole, and it had a video titled "bassist reacts to hearing primus for the first time" and I thought it might be kind of interesting because Les Claypool is genuinely a mad scientist of the bass.

>>212716895
Don't bother. Anyone who would sincerely appreciate it saw it years ago.

>>212717171
And it still doesn't justify how ridiculous that whole sequence was. At most it should have been depicted as that "bilbo baggins don't take me as some conjuror of cheap tricks"

>She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore there issued a great light that illumined her alone and left all else dark. She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement, and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful. Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and lo! she was shrunken: a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white, whose gentle voice was soft and sad.

>>212716551 (OP)
Why did they cast such a fugly man as an elf?

>>212717396
>And it still doesn't justify how ridiculous that whole sequence was.
I'm not defending it in the hobbit, but it was fine in the lord of the rings. She doesn't get a lot of screen time, and this comes near the end of the fellowship, after you get the balrog and the loss of dumbledor you get this bit where the pace downshifts and its a long sequence in a peaceful fantasy forest.

>>212717647
>but it was fine in the lord of the rings
It wasn't, it was laughable

>>212717847
Its fine, you're being hyperbolic.

Jackson's depiction of Galadriel's temptation was hyperbolic(to say the least)

I used to love the movies until I read the books and delve into Tolkein's legendarium. Now every time I rewatch I can't stop thinking about all of the things that were cut, moved around, lines given to other characters, mischaracterizations, plus all of the things that you can't really adapt. I wish I never read them to be honest.

>>212720000
All things considered fotr is a decent adaptation. Now the two towers feels like pure fanfiction since most plot points were moved to either the first or third movie

>>212717255
>why would you even wanna watch a reaction video, the only time i watched a reaction video was because i wanted to see someone's first impression of something i like

>>212716895
Why do you need validation from some random-ass retards on the internet? I literally can’t think of anything more pathetic.

Do us all a favor and McNutt yourself, unironically.

>>212716895
A reaction where they hated it would probably be authentic. Any of those exist?

What exactly is so bad about this scene? It just shows Frodo in his Morgul blade-induced reverie while the elves tend to him.

>>212722649
It looks like like he’s swimming in jizz

Tolkien be like:
>Quenya descended directly from Ancient Quenya,[1] which developed from an earlier language called Common Eldarin. Of the Three Houses of Elves, the Ñoldor and the Vanyar spoke slightly different, though mutually intelligible, dialects of Quenya (Ñoldorin Quenya and Vanyarin Quenya, respectively). The Vanyarin dialect was also called Quendya

Also Tolkien:
>oCtObEr!

>>212717517
It makes even less sense considering he is the grandson of Luthien, who was known as the most beautiful elf of all time (whose mother was also a Maia). Picrel is a closer representation probably to what he was meant to look like.

>>212716551 (OP)
On a recent rewatch this moment stood out as being poorly edited

>>212716551 (OP)

There's nothing wrong with this.

>>212717171
>Galadriel was objectively one of the strongest beings outside of the undying lands.
Yes but so is half a dozen other guys. Sauron was fucking terrified of Aragorn's magical abilities as well (he had the potential to claim the One Ring as his rightful property via inheritance and right of conquest by Isildur)
But when trying to boast how powerful a character is fanoids only attempt to misrepresent the basic facts of the published books when it comes to Galadriel, though.

There's a narrative that Galadriel is an unsung hero that isn't appreciated for her power. It's not a narrative started by 2020's corporate justice warriors for Rings of Power, it was actually started by Tolkien himself: he wrote LotR but then has pages of manuscripts where he's basically trying to justify why Galadriel is such a giga-badass even though she doesn't really ever do much.
My theory is he always had 2 types of women he was attracted to, and he was allowed to indulge idealising one of these types in classic autistic fashion by writing about Luthien and Arwen as dark haired perfect pretty princesses. But he had to suppress his fetish for blonde tomboys and as he got older it broke out more and more via his attempted rewrites for Galadriel.

>>212717396
That effect of growing to incredible height in a moment of potential claiming the one ring happens to:
>Gandalf
>Bilbo
>to an extent, Aragorn
>Galadriel
>Frodo
>Sam
>Frodo again in spectacular fashion
And yet it's not depicted with a special effect for them, only for Galadriel.

>>212724340
>then

>"Film is way too long already we can't possibly include all important stuff from the books"
>"Hey what if there was a long videogame platforming sequence where each character must jump over a broken path with gimli comic relief in a scene about facing a Balrog?"

>>212716895
Popcorn in Bed. She reacted twice, the first time alone and the second time she watched the movies alongside her sister

>>212725217
Bait

>>212716551 (OP)
I recently watched the trilogy for the first time and I feel like it was the last of the classic fantasy movie.
I'm not saying these effects good but they were cheesy in an entertaining way (like that shot of Sauron in the opening)
Then there's stuff like Elrond title dropping and pulling swords out of his coat just to look cool

>>212725217
A literal unequivocal fraud. It's one thing to exaggerate reactions for the camera, lying is a whole nother level of scumminess

kek what a fake bitch

Reminder the scouring of the shire is at the fundamental core of the essence of the lord of the rings and to not include it is to completely miss the point the stories.

I know that feel. Such slop can be very tempting sometimes.

Imagine the antiwoke shitstorm today of replacing Glorfindel with Arwen

There's 10x more questionable laughable choices in the sequels

>>212726615
There's a difference between not including a character because it would make the story too convoluted vs using the media as a means to do a racial/gender attack on white people and men.
