Woah, Raiden was 4 Gimli tall? I mean Gandalf.
Your choice of soundtracks is 👌😌

Imagine beeing in a mine and then hearing "Bomb has been plantet".
I would shit my pants!

[rursus]

Because ... walking in the high passes of Misty Mountains doesn't make a thrilling story.

The mines were not, in fact, safer than the wild

QUESTION: Did Faramir curse Gollum when he said, “may death come to you quickly if you bring them to harm?”

[Sarcastic]

Could you do a video explaining the whole battle of helms deep? I feel like the films did an okay job, but i re-read it, and the whole battle is just a little confusing,
Love your content! I'm always excited when a new video is posted, hope to see another soon!

Gandalf took the party through Moria so he can solo the Balrog, loot the XP and level up so he can become Gandalf the White 😂

Ive been rereading LOTR recently and just this morning I read this chapter as well as the "death" Gandalf. So Im watching this like the pointing wojak like "woowww i just read that i know this cooool!!!"

I think Moria was also a good way to show the fellowship how hard adventuring can be and what they must over come in the future.

[JM-dyty]

They didn’t know Moria was entirely infested with orcs because Balin’s expedition had been there a few years prior.

I figured it'd just be longer to go around em.😂

[eflippo]

Whoah... did i hear "none shall pass" from Monty Python???? 😭

[DANEonDOPE]

Because Tolkien wanted Gandalf to do epic battle with the balrog.

[md_master]

Mate. Today I feel awesome and after i saw your edits I feel extraordinarily good

[Yshnoam]

Also Moria felt like a field trip and Gandalf is the teacher. We learned a lot from him the mithril and freaking Thorin! This is why I prefer watching hobbit before lotr so u learn who thorin is then u watch fellowship in moria u will recognise that name. And u be like Oooh!

[stellaragent]

The short are great and the videos are great, but make them longer and they would be epic!

What was Aragorn up too when The Hobbit was taking place? Love your vids 🤘

[flaviamolisso]

I really like your videos, I saw almost everything on this channel❤😊 and you are very polite in the comments!

Question: were they already aware of Moria's fall and possibly of the Balrog?

In the movies, only Gandalf already knew, while everyone else (specially Gimli) believed Balin still ruled over Moria and would welcome them. *Goddammit, Gandalf, why didn't you tell them anything?!*
But I wanna know what did the characters in the book thought. Were they all aware that Moria had fallen but decided it was still the better choice regardless, or were they genuinelly unaware until they actually entered Moria?
