i tried posting once but idk if it uploaded, if so mods pls delete. But i will never forgive/forget the way the first movie ended & how i truly thought gandalf was gone :(( (fun fact: i was 4 when i watched this movie lol) Also how did everyone feel about the new anime film?

On another play through, and I'm about to hit up the last mission. I thought I'd share this incredible view of Barad-dûr being built.

I just watched all three movies for the first time and there was no wedding. Either I missed it or I watched the wrong movie. Can someone tell me the movie edition and the minute mark. The closest I can see is at 3:45 on the extended ROTK Arwen shows up and surprises Aragorn at his coronation, but there isn't a wedding shown.

I feel like I have for sure seen a clip of it somewhere but maybe I'm imagining it.

Anyone able to help?

My viewing of the entire series doesn't seem complete without seeing that.

The fellowship consisted of two princes, the heir apparent of a royal steward, a member of a royal court, two sons of political dynasty families, the richest man in his country, a literal demigod, and a gardener. Poor Sam being the only normal dude in the group getting dragged along on his boss's bullshit.

So I've watched the LOTR and Hobbit movies as everyone did and just this weekend I started to read The Hobbit book and I found out that orcs and goblins are the same thing in Tolkien's works (at least I heard so) but in the movies they are 2 completly different species so if there would only be one species in Peter Jackson's movies what would represent the book goblins/orcs more? Orcs from both trilogies are more brutal and animalistic and don't tend to speak often while the goblins in the lotr trilogy are very talkative I think they would feat more to what tolkien wrote maybe but orcs look cooler, what do y'all think?

I'm studying pastry and baking making and my final project is to make a book recipe with all we saw on class, we could make it the way we want, no limitations. I have three months to do it and I think it would be pretty nice to make it seems like a book recipe book from a hobbit kitchen.

I like binding book, I even re-bound my The Hobbit book, so I have some experience doing stuff like that, just I'm not sure how to decorate the pages and the cover.

Now I have some ideas, like using recycled sheets to make it look like an old book that it's been kept on a shelf for a while, also use Hobbiton font and using some tricks to make the cover look like middle ages books. So yeah, I would appreciate some ideas.

As per my partners request here's a graphite portrait I did that took about 3-4 hours

Like many of us, I have read the trilogy. I recently went to do a reread but couldn't find my copy of FOTR, so I decided to give audio books a go. Searched around and found 2 versions, one of which was narrated by none other than Andy Serkis and it is fantastic. He gives each character their own voice and you already know Gollum/Smeagol is done better than my imagination ever could. I highly recommend any fan listens, and reads along to see how great he is at voicing these characters.

sorry if this is old news to anyone. its new to me

so i am reading the LOTR books currently. halfway through fellowship and loving it. i’ve seen the films many many times as well as read and seen the hobbit. i know the basics of middle earth but not the deeper lore(i hope to get more into it). i used to play this fellowship ps2 game when i was a kid and i loved it then. i decided to emulate it on my computer and i still enjoy it(even if the game has repetitive gameplay and technical issues) i like how its more faithful to the book. at the beginning you even sell bag end to lobelia. so i know theres great and bad lotr games. bad being lotr gollum. great being shadow of war. let me know which i should play! i’ve heard good things about lotr online, war in the north, the third age and more.

Sam sleeping on the knife edge of a literal cliff always gets me when I remember him lying by a cozy fire — still within the borders of the Shire — complaining about "never being able to sleep out here." 😂

I’ve been collecting for about a year now.

Hey y’all!

I am a crochet beginner (like immediate+ depending on how much detail and stuff, learned from the wobbles) and I’d love to make a crochet Gimli as a gift. I’ve seen some beautiful patterns but looking at the finished project I can’t help but think that might be a little too complex for me. My other idea was crocheting some sort of catnip toy for a kitty named whose name sake is Gimli. I guess I’m asking if anyone knows any patterns that would work for a novice, and if not for Gimli specifically, if there’s something I could crochet that is Gimli related to make a catnip toy. I’m brand new to LOTR and would really appreciate the assistance!

If there’s a better place to ask please let me know but I’ve seen some gorgeous crochets on here! :) thank y’all.

Balrog is next, then Sam and Frodo after.

The army of Isengard was already fleeing before he showed up, he didn't really do anything useful

Pretty sure we know what the interaction with the One Ring generally is for most mortals and immortals, an addictive thing even for Hobbits. However, we never know what happens if someone like say Boromir or Aragorn gets an Elven Ring or Dwarf Ring. Sure, Gandalf does wear Narya the ring of fire but that is different as he is a Maia. So what happens if someone human got a Ring that isn't the One Ring or the ring of Men?

Also I just realized that the Dwarf Rings technically have only ever been worn by dwarves and nobody else, unless you count dragons if they ate the dwarf lords.

I didn't know what Blu Ray is... I just found out that what i saw years ago at the cinema and on streaming later is not the extended edition of the movies.

I would like to know how to watch these movies and how much they differ from the cinematic edition.

Thanks

Why aren’t the origins/family tree of the Nazgûl known?

Weren’t they all men, more specifically “lords of men”? And why wouldn’t it be known who they were or what their family tree was?

And a further thought…Let’s say the vast majority of them were married when they received their rings of power, what happened to their kids? Like would one be sitting in class and be like “yea, my dad is a ringwraith”.

This is the family tree that the pic is from: https://lotrtree.com/
