lols forbid Disney of getting involved, well played Tolkien, well played.

[bittersweethood]

i really hate to stop the video and read the text, its switching too fast, is it just me reading too slow?

[Nightwing]

1:10 - 1:20 Damn. I knew Balin mentioned Gimli at one point but I didn't know that was his damn tomb.

[Kissarai]

I do wish I didn't have to pause so much. For all the time I've spent reading in my life, how am I still so slow at it?

[bogahuna]

I called Thranduil "The King of Fabulous"

[Kuma-Naru]

*Gasps* NO-WAY! BUZZFEEDVIDEOS YOU ROCK FOR MAKING THIS!!! I would have never thought, this just made my day!

[elenarodriguez]

Number five. The best decision Tolkien has ever made.

[sesshomarumagic]

I knew about Balin, knowing now that skeleton belongs to Ori makes me sad :(

[annageorge]

Not letting Disney be involved was GENIUS!

[Derpninja]

Its so sad what happens to all the dwarves after the Hobbit ... most of them die violent deaths.

[jennyzenith]

I'm actually kind of glad Disney will never buy and ruin original Tolkien creations amd make them into joyful and childish movies.

[Trund]

THANK YOU TOLKIEN for forbidding Disney to mess with a masterpiece

[OceanIgs]

I dunno if this is true but they say that Frodo and Pipin are cousins. 

[avene]

Love the music you guys choose for these but you don't leave the text on screen long enough for all that info to be absorbed.

[metademetra]

0:39 *GEE. I WONDER IF DISNEY'S TRACK RECORD OF COMPLETELY CHANGING STORIES HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.*

1:11-1:19 OH GOD! T^T

[fenrirgg]

Dwarves also have plenty of gold and hate all the other races.

[ericeinarson]

Tolkien did NOT base the Dwarf runes on Hebrew- he based it on the Anglo-Saxon runes, also known as the Elder Futhrak- the runes used by the Anglo Saxons and the vikings in the late Dark Ages...

[Whoa]

Am I the only one who finds this music really annoying?

[davidornelas]

Omg, I wanna see the desolation of smaug so bad!!!

[Kuma-Naru]

That was WAY to cool! I LOVED IT! Thank you! I knew all of them except for the puns and about Disney... that Disney one shocked me!
