Erebor ššššš
Ohh Robert, no other words needed everyone just knows what I mean
I'm sure you've made a video on this, but where were the other tribes of dwarves in all of this? We hear mostly about the longbeards.
YouTube Algorithm
we came to you…. starving,,,,, and you did nothing (thranduil)
Just come across your channel, amazing content, mate.
So basically dwarves are jews?
š
Robertās been living in his active era for a while now and weāre all here for it
DAY-in, not DYNE
Iām a massive fan of your channel. You explain LOTR as it should be explained. You could make a 10 hour video, title it āthe drying of paintā and I would still watch it. You did the impossible and made the Silmarillion enjoyable, whereas I canāt get past the fact that it reads like the Bible. Thank you
I like the art work of the balrog at 1:25. I'm not sure if it was AI or not, but it's a more interesting, different and still menacing representation of the balrog. I love John Howe, I love his Balrog artwork. I have his concept art for gandalf vs the balrog in two towers tattooed on my arm. But balrogs don't have wings. This shows the balrog can be look terrifying without looking like a pseudo dragon.
Hey I had a question that I thought might make for a good video. What would have happened if Faramir had gone to the council of Elrond and Boromir had stayed behind to protect Osgiliath? Would the fellowship still have broken at Amon Hen if Faramir had not tried to take the ring as his brother did? Would Osgiliath have been recaptured by the armies of Mordor if Boromir had been there to lead his people? Also, how would Aragornās feelings about his legacy as Isildurās heir have differed without having Boromir to discuss it with? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Yay!! Tolkien content! I love the Grrm focus over the course of HotD but this was a welcome change!!
Just getting through the conversation with Smaug on a read through with my son. Great stuff.
We don't have them anymore, but I would pay to listen to Robert just read the phone book.
Did you take down the travel guide to Westeros playlist? I loved listening to that
i own a Twodor
Recently discovered your channel and love the quality. Surprised by the frequency. You've helped me love LOTR on a deeper level.
Joined recently you sir are a marvellous lotr lore master I enjoy every video so far keep it up ā¤š
When you condense the movement and disasters of the dwarves in a video like this, the constant theme is that obsessively pursuing profit and wealth over all else always upends society. Might be an interesting commentary on capatalism.
Gotta love how dwarves, one of the smallest of fantasy races, are always shown to build giant-ass statues of themselves in their cities and fortresses. At least in movies and video games, not sure itĀ“s ever explicitly mentioned in TolkienĀ“s books or other novel series
I wonder what middle earth lore would look like if the orcs won at the battle of the five armyās or if the esaterlings had captured the mountain how much would change
Love LotR videos š¤
Finding home again. I think thatās why I love Tolkienās dwarfs so much
It's clearly hinted by Gandalf that his chance meeting with Thorin was engineered by Eru. Guy REALLY likes to concoct cumbersome and devious plans!
š»
What was Gandalf doing when he isn't pictured in the Hobbit?
OK… If Khazad-Dum fell before Erebor was fully settled, how did Gimli not know about it, before heading toward the Mines of Moria? That crucial piece of info would have been passed down through at least three dwarf generations.
