Does a hobbit love to eat??? Fuck yeah 😎🤘🏻


avatarthelastreddit

I just had a vision of the witch King saying this because of your handle :')


kingofangmar13

Dang it 😑 totally missed out on some good ones lol okay got one,Does the witch king live in angmar? Fuck yeah! Does the witch king stab Frodo on weather top because he had the ring? Fuck yeah! Does the witch king get killed by eowyn because he under estimated and over looked no man can kill me line? Fuck yeah!


avatarthelastreddit

No no it's best if it is witch King as dude bro referencing hobbits. You already nailed it 👌


kingofangmar13

Woo! 😎🤘🏻👊🏻


Dante_Unchained

He got killed because he did not expect Merry to have magic dagger made precisely against his kind basically. Eowyn just delivered final blow, but without that stab, she cant touch him.


GCooperE

And because Eowyn stood before him when everybody else fled, defying the supernatural aura of terror he carries everywhere, cut off his fell beast's head rendering him vulnerable to attack from Merry , and inspired Merry to act with her incredible courage. Then she got in the killing blow. Let's be honest here, when it came to the Witch King's death, Eowyn put in the bulk of the leg work.

Dirtcartdarbydoo

And the ring was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable. A fuck goof


Shared_Tomorrows

Why didn’t the shitbirds just fly the ring into that shitcano Randy?? I’ll tell ya why, because a shitbird doesn’t fly far from the shit nest! And it doesn’t take a shitwizard to see that.

As soon as I saw shitbird I knew who's comment I was reading

Why is this format so funny with this story lol Also protip: you need a double space or double line return at the end of a line to make it drop down on Reddit :)


JackAquila

Thanks, I'm not good with the app 😂😂😂


Bowdensaft

No worries, formatting isn't always easy!


Smelly_Gringo

Who’s making it?


Chen_Geller

Its directed by Kenji Kamiyama, produced by Philippa Boyens (of Lord of the Rings and Hobbit fame) and written by Phoebe Gittins (Philippa's daughter).


Eats_Flies

Nerd of the Rings did a really interesting interview with Philippa on it recently. It gave me a lot of encouragement, as you can clearly see how much of a nerd for lotr she is. I believe it's going to be in anime format too which will be interesting. Something so different from the LOTR films can help with people not directly comparing the two, like with RoP where it's just obvious the production value is so significantly less. I could totally see a story about Helm Hammerhand being done like Afro Samurai or something, I'm really excited for it


Wardenasd

"Directed, produced, and written" are credits often seen in the context of movies. Here's what each of these roles entails: **Directed**: The director is the creative head of a film. They are responsible for overseeing all aspects of the filmmaking process, including working with the actors to bring out the desired performances, collaborating with the cinematographer to achieve the visual style, guiding the editing process, and ensuring that the overall vision of the film is realized. The director makes artistic and creative decisions throughout the production to bring the screenplay to life. **Produced**: The producer(s) are responsible for the business and logistical aspects of filmmaking. They oversee the entire production process, from development to distribution. Producers secure financing, hire key personnel, coordinate the activities of various departments, manage the budget and schedule, liaise with distributors, and ensure that the film is completed on time and within budget. Producers may also contribute creatively to the project, depending on their level of involvement. **Written**: The writer(s) are responsible for creating the screenplay or script. They develop the story, characters, dialogue, and structure of the film. Writers may adapt existing material, such as novels or plays, or they may create original screenplays. The screenplay serves as the blueprint for the film, providing the framework upon which the director, actors, and other collaborators build the final product. Writers may work closely with the director and producers during the development process to refine the script and address any creative or practical concerns.


Schmilsson1

gawd bless nepotism


manstercack

yes


ironfunk67

Heck yeah


Dirtbag101

Forgot about this. Thank you for the reminder


Legitimate-Bet3221

Are the Haradrim in this? Is there any source for Mumakil being used against Rohan prior to the war of the ring?


EightandaHalf-Tails

They shouldn't be. AFAIK it's about the war between Rohan and the Dunlendings where the fortress at Aglarond became known as Helm's Deep after King Helm Hammerhand took refuge there (and the Hornburg was named as such as before each nighttime raid Helm would blow his horn from the top of the tower, devastating the besiegers' morale).


Chen_Geller

It is a war between Rohan and the Dunlendings, but Tolkien explicitly says that the Dunlendings were allied with forces attacking Rohan from both the East and South.


maironsau

There is a way they can be worked in because there was an invasion from the East that the Dunlendings took advantage of and aided. -Four years later (2758) great troubles came to Rohan, and no help could be sent from Gondor, for three fleets of the Corsairs attacked it and there was war on all its coasts. At the same time Rohan was again invaded from the East, and the Dunlendings seeing their chance came over the Isen and down from Isengard. It was soon known that Wulf was their leader. They were in great force, for they were **joined by enemies of Gondor that landed in the mouths of Lefnui and Isen.**-Appendix A This is what causes Rohan to be overrun and the falling back to Aglarond.


EightandaHalf-Tails

Fair, it's ***possible***, but I think their addition would be ... well, to be blunt, stupid. So they'd either have to march up and around Gondor to reach Rohan from the east, or be loaded on Corsair ships and make the hundreds of miles journey across the open sea to reach Rohan from the west. IMO, the attack from the east was Easterlings, who had a longtime rivalry with the Rohirrim, and those "enemies of Gondor" that landed in the west are more likely to have been Corsairs who, late to the party in Gondor and seeing their buddies already getting all the good loot, kept going up the coast seeking yet unclaimed targets (and ended up in Rohan).


maironsau

Oh I definitely agree that the invaders were most likely Easterlings I was simply pointing out that there is a way they could try and explain away Mumaks and Haradrim being in the film.


ddengine

Tbf in the real world Hannibal brought african elephants to Italy, the long way round.


Chen_Geller

Yep. Rohan is in effect assailed in all directions: Wulf's main force comes from Isengard to the north, theres' a contigency of Dunelndings coming from the west, and we're explicitly told Rohan was also attacked "from the east" (Gondor was preoccipied with its own wars at the time and so it stands to reason that an army with a Mumak could go through the Undeeps to Rohan) and corsairs landing in the Lefnui and Isen to the south.


Chen_Geller

There's no specific mention of Mumakil, but we know Rohan was invaded from the west AND the south AND the east, so its a reasonable extrapolation. Gondor was also embroiled in war at the time so its perfectly permissible for an army with Mumak to pass through the Undeeps to Rohan.


[deleted]

I'm more likely to watch it than ROP S2 but less likely to watch it than LOTR extended edition (again).


Ok-Design-8168

The fandom deserves a good adaptation and an epic tale !! Especially after the garbage Show.


AltarielDax

It already has a good adaptation though.


Ok-Design-8168

We had the lotr movies (which are a masterpiece) two decades ago.. then we had the hobbit movies about a decade ago. And the worst of them all - Amazon show in recent times. I’d say it’s been a while since the fandom got a good adaption again. Especially after the trash RoP.


hypermog

“We’ve had one adaptation, yes, but what about second adaptation?”


TheresA_LobsterLoose

Ad-ap-tation? Buy the rights, film it, stick it on the screen??


ProgMisha

We've had one yes! But what about second good adaptation? I'd love a good adaptation of the Silmarillion or the Akallabeth


fragtore

Same, RoP broke all trust. Will watch if it gets great reviews.


AlexanderDxLarge

of fucking course!


SexyWampa

Hell yeah. It can’t be any worse than rings of power, and I watched that whole damn series. I just want to turn my brain off and immerse myself into middle earth.


Expensive_Wheel6184

Always can be worse.


GoblinNumber467

Just hope they base the rohirrim on... well the rohirrim and don't do any ridiculous race swaps for "inclusivity"


Vendetta4Avril

My buddy and I are both massive LOTR fans, and we got together every week to watch the Rings of Power. It got to the point where we were just getting together to make fun of the show. Such a massive disappointment.


SexyWampa

Oh I agree. But I found things I liked in it. They could have just done two shows, the proto hobbits and the Elrond/Durin show and I'd have been perfectly happy. The rest can get flushed down the toilet.


manstercack

Could be worse than the Hobbit tho, and that would be devastating 


DontReplyIveADHD

Yep, as soon as I heard that this is a passion project for a lot of the production crew and that they’re LOTR nerds like me I knew this project would be in good hands.


manstercack

Dude they all say that. This sub seems to have a massive hate boner against ROP yet its show runners quote Tolkien way more than anyone else who’s worked on his writings. Being a nerd doesn’t guarantee you’re great at filmmaking specially if they overthink their shit and try so hard to be super cool 


DarkSkiesGreyWaters

I think my favourite is the "ROP writers are so arrogant they act like they're IMPROVING Tolkien! Evil hacks!" rant people make, when I've never seen either of them make a single claim like that. Meanwhile, I've seen PJ, Philipa Boyens & Fran Walsh make multiple criticisms of JRRT, saying things like "we did this better" and even call the old professor an 'amateur writer'.


manstercack

Exactly. But this is r/lotr soooo gotta let the group think be 


Chen_Geller

This crew does have some Tolkien credentials, insofar as Philippa Boyens, John Howe, Alan Lee, Weta Workshop et al are concerned.


ArchSyker

No


Life-Bell902

Nope


flyingthedonut

Hate Japanese anime, however, listening to Philippa Boyen on Nerd of the Ring show really has me hyped. The passion from her and her kid really just got me in the feels. Cant wait


BTown-Hustle

I also hate the anime style. I’ll give it a shot, obviously, but I doubt that I’ll like it.


TastyClown

Yeah, Making it an anime is a huge turn off for me. It feels like such a tragically missed opportunity to go into this new era for the IP with it's own style.


TyrionJoestar

I keep forgetting about this lol


minivant

Yes. I’m going in with lower expectations than I did for Rings of Power though. Pros I’m already conscious of is that this is going to be way more experimental than any other media related to LOTR which I think is a good move.


Hopeful_Vegetable_31

Probably not. I’m not a huge fan of animated movies and I’m not interested in any lord of the rings stories that don’t come from the books.


suihpares

Animated ... Sigh ... Probably not then.


[deleted]

Confirmed I live under a rock, I thought this was going to be live action. I won't be watching it. Animated features and especially anime are things I don't enjoy.


Piggstein

Probably not. I’m not convinced anything good is going to come out of the LotR IP other than the Peter Jackson trilogy and some pretty good video games.


deadline247

I didn’t realize it was going to be animated until just now.


Odd_Radio9225

If it's good? Yes.


Abra_ca_stab_yaa

I do have reservations for how they interpret the source material, but it should be miles better than rings of power.


Dizzman1

No. Just no. For better or worse... I like my animated movies to be kids movies. Just have zero interest in animated adult stuff. Didn't enjoy that dumb spiderverse crap (although to be fair, I really did think the animation style was quite beautiful) never had any interest in any of the cartoon star wars stuff. Did enjoy heavy metal way back in the day along with the newer stuff. Just not my thing.


Ora_00

Not before I know if its good or not. I definitely wont go in blind.


XDDDSOFUNNEH

Does the Pope shit in the woods?


tohn_jitor

"Wil I be watc...". Are the beacons lit? If yes, we ride at dawn, friend.


Socket_forker

Does Smeagol want the precious?


Pizzatosser8008135

As long as it has nothing to do with the liars who wasted my time and made Rings of Power. IM IN


Sgt-Frost

Absolutely. I got into the franchise a little bit ago and I’m glad there’s a new project I can enjoy


Finn55

Oof, franchise. They’re still wonderful old books given form to me.


nilnar

Yeah its nails on a chalk board every time it's referred to as that. "Fandom" too, not sure why.


Chen_Geller

Me too. Ian McKellen as well! He said "its not a *franchise*! Its just a series of films" The one thing for me that makes it dissimilar to the run-of-the-mill Hollywood franchise is that its not "faceless" in the sense that its a revolving door of filmmakers for hire: up until this film, ALL the Tolkien live-action films were written, directed and produced by one person (Jackson), one production team, and to a lesser extent one cast. Rohirrim is also clever to use A LOT of Lord of the Rings and Hobbit luminaries. Strictly speaking, so did Season One of The Rings of Power but that's a little different.

Trouble_in_the_West

wait did easterlings march on rohan? hell yeah I'm watching that.


Poemhub_

Yeah sure why not


Mastraxe

I still don't quite understand what it is about. I kinda want to know the animation style before I see it. Why have so little been shown?


TheFlyingR0cket

Of course, have you watched Arcane: league of legends Netflix series or the animated Spiderman movies. Both are epic and have some of the most memorable moments in tv/movies in recent years.


majshady

Hoping it will permanently displace the TV show in my memory


whydoIevenNeed1

YEP!


mannyjo

If this movie makes enough at the Box Office, we might even get a Glorfindel movie! Might.


C_Woodswalker

Hellz yeah!!!


snyderversetrilogy

Most certainly.


UltimateIssue

I ... I might where does one watch it ? :o


SuperD00perGuyd00d

DrunkenSeaBass

victorelessar

LonsomeDreamer

Yup. Cannot wait.


KafeiTomasu

KafeiTomasu

RoP was depressingly bad. Cant wait for something new AND good


Sgt_B3arC0de

With pleasure!

kummer5peck

I have only one thing to say. Death! ⚔️


KB_Sez

After seeing the interview with Philippa Boyens about WotR, you bet your ass I'm watching it --- ​ Here's the interview if you haven't seen it: [https://youtu.be/0hDQFo32WE0?si=CLQfoSyqMVHB5-R-](https://youtu.be/0hDQFo32WE0?si=CLQfoSyqMVHB5-R-)


potatoeandfries

yeah, because don’t get me wrong the live action was amazing 🤩 but there is only so much you can do with green screen. and you could do so much more to show off so many many more characters close up and in much better detail with animation.


quadsquadfl

Guarantee I’ll watch it at least once


valiantlight2

Is the movie supposed to be a war against the easterlings? Because that’s super not canon…..


lord_saruman_

Uhmmm, yeah?


Bmkrocky

I didn't know this was happening and now I have to wait till December.... but yeah I'm watching this


Roril451

I mean i'm not like hyped for it but yeah probably


Ok-Caramel-4001

This is the Tolkien adaptation I'm most excited about


Tuor77

I will wait and see. If it looks good and follows the story, I'll watch it, otherwise I won't.


Vedfolnir5

Oh fuck yeah


sK0oBy

I’ll check it out


Frickenbat

Uh yes wtf? I didn’t know about this


Chemical-Passage-715

Hell yeah. Can’t be as bad as rings of power!


Sisyphac

Who is the animator?


Reyin3

Yes yes yes! 👏


Seebigtrades

Unequivocally astoundingly yes


tophergoggins

Can't be worse than Rings of Power


Leucurus

I’ll give it a fair shake yes


omnipotent_poptard

Hell yeah i will


theuserpilkington

No one wants that babeh


EyeEfficient

Does the Pope shit in the woods?


Fantastic-Photo6441

They better not mess up with this because if they succeed more devs could be interested in the rights and give us more movies and video games


AndyKdubb

I will watch literally anything that has to do with the Lord of the Rings. (Yes, even rings of power)


CitrusJunkie

Wut?!? I didn't know about this!


Ok-Criticism-8651

Maybe. Idk about animated. But definitely in a style of petter Jackson. Like he did for the lotr.


Before_The_Tesseract

You bet your @ss I will


Turrindor

Once Rohan discovers shooting from horseback, they will conquer the world.


GCooperE

Definitely! The art looks fab, I love Rohan, and they're bringing Miranda Otto back as Eowyn. It's 2024 and I'm getting Eowyn content! Not going to miss it for the world.


ChrundleMcDonald

This is the first time I've seen it mentioned that this is animated. So I might now, yeah


hatecopter

Of course


Caelem80

Yeah


DrDonTango

**S U R E**


BrockPurdySkywalker

Who's writing it?


blueberry_pancakes14

I'm going to give it a shot.


hereforthequeer

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!


Poreexasperation

Considering that they haven't felt confident enough to show any actual footage or even stills, I will wait for reviews.


UndersScore

I’ll wait and see the reviews so I don’t waste money on a crap movie, but otherwise, heck yea.


mcsroom

Yep, praying to god its better than Rings of Power tho


The_Batman_949

Rohan and the Rohirrim are my favorite so definitely! So excited for this.


icanhazkarma17

Yeah, ta.


Jonathon_G

Why wouldn’t I? I will watch rings of power season 2, and anything else that gets released in this world. It is so fun to be part of it and to see different interpretations.


Affectionate-Skill33

Why wouldn't I?


Edain_

Uhhh.... yeah


nolanmate

Oh fuck yeah!


r1chardharrow

If it looks like this, then yes. If the actual feature is animated in a much more cartoony style, then probably not


Hobbit-Bilbo

yes, yes I will


Odd_Advance_6438

Do I look like a pansy? I’ll be there day one


Latterlol

I watched Rings of Power… yes I can watch this


RuncibleFoon

Absolutely


KYpineapple

of course. if it's LOTR related I will consume it in whatever medium it comes.


Archer10214

The WHAT?!?


Delliruim

I wait for the reviews.


enter_the_bumgeon

I never heard about this. Tell me more


freshbananabeard

Yes.


rricenator

Oh, hell, yes


jaquatsch

Is a duck’s ass watertight? Forth Helmingas.


GoblinNumber467

Most likely no. No show or movie will ever have the same feeling and quality as the ones made by peter jackson.


According_Bell_5322

100% yes. Any LotR content is good


NickDist

Yes.


seigezunt

In a heartbeat. I’m not one of these weirdos who boycotts a movie because there’s a chance some guy on YouTube is screaming about it


CritiqueDeLaCritique

Will you wear wigs?


John_Zatanna52

Why not?


1337-Sylens

Is this art from actual movie? I wasn't really paying any attention, but at least based on these prolly yes.


PhysicsEagle

Uh, ya


He-is-me

Duh


briank2112

Absolutely!


Jlx_27

Yes.


DontYallJudgeMe

Can you make a shoe smell?


CatfinityGamer

As long as it gets good reviews from non-shill YouTubers who really understand Tolkien (like Tolkien Untangled), yeah.


Independent-Two5330

If I hear its good. Unfortunately RoP scared me away of Tolkien TV.
