@munchmas: And just like that… my first journey through Middle-earth is over. 🥹 I finished The Return of the King. I started Lord of the Rings knowing almost nothing about these movies, and somehow ended up completely invested in the characters, friendships and this entire story. I finally understand why people have loved these movies for so many years. And yeah… you guys were right about having the tissues ready. 😭 This was such a fun experience, especially getting to share my first reactions with everyone who has been following along. Return of the King: Part 3 of 3 The trilogy is complete. Now I need to process everything I just watched. #LordOfTheRings #LOTR #ReturnOfTheKing #FirstTimeWatching #MovieReaction

You should not be so harsh on Frodo for not being able to destroy the one ring, there's not a person in the whole world of Arda who could willingly bring harm to the ring. One of the only reasons Frodo got the ring so far was because of his pity and mercy, his humility and kindness. if he would have struck down Gollum the ring would have consumed him, and if not for Gollum the ring would never have been destroyed. So have a care, and don't be so quick to judge those for what they can't do.

There will never be a trilogy made like this again. Thank you for bringing us along on your first watch. I’ve watched it at least once a year since 2006 and it never gets old.

That movie is my favorite of the 3. I hope you listened to the song in the credits, it makes me tear up, even after watching the movies so much. Now look up what happens to the fellowship after Return of the King and the lives they live. Thank you for sharing your journey of watching them for the first time and enjoy all future rewatches.

“Friends you bow to no one.” In that moment the 4 hobbits were taller than the whole world. It wrecks me. They all were an important part of destroying the ring.

And Sam’s daughter at the end is Sean Astin’s daughter in real life. These are still the greatest movies of all time. Nothing will ever beat these

RotK brings me to tears every time. If you feel up to it, I would highly recommend starting to look into the lore surrounding this and what Tolkien created. The first book to read though would the Hobbit. It’s Bilbo’s adventure.

You said how they could go home after this and get back to normal life. JRRT wrote these books after he fought in WW1. His fellow soldiers were his fellowship. They had to somehow go home after the war and get back to normal life.

tolkien fought in WW1. much of the story is about returning home after witnessing the horrors of war and trying to find a way to return to life afterwards. In his heart, I think he realized that there was no going back. not really. that's why frodo had to leave middle earth. he went to the Valinor, "the undying lands." a place filled with the magic of creation, where he could live out the remainder of his days in peace, healed of his wounds in a way that couldn't be done on earth. no such place exists for us, unfortunately. yet hope remains, while company is true. "the world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater."

Don't be mad at Frodo for failing in the end to resist the ring, no one can resist the ring. The whole point was that no one can actually destroy the ring, no one has the strength to actually throw it away in the end. The Valar (the gods basically and the ones who sent the 5 wizards to help Middle Earth deal with Sauron), basically had to figure out a way to get the ring to someone who could resist it long enough to get it to the mountain. First thing to understand is that all hobbits do seem to naturally be more resistant to the ring because they don't really have a strong desire for power. Second thing, that Tolkien mentions in his letters, is that it matters HOW you came by the ring. So the ring was able to have such a hold on Smeagol because Smeagol murdered for it. The ring had a smaller effect on Bilbo because he won it in a riddle competition against Smeagol. A bit of a dishonest riddle competition, but still he did win it. Then the ring had the least effect on Frodo because Bilbo was able to honestly let it go and include it in his possessions he left for Frodo. So Frodo was the only one in history of having the ring that hadn't murdered, stolen and lied to get it. Frodo was right, it would have destroyed Sam, although Sam was able to resist the ring and give it back. In part because he hadn't stolen it either, he honestly thought Frodo was dead and was going to finish off their mission, but also in part because of what the ring was showing him to tempt him. We don't see it in the movie, but the ring had been showing him images of him being strong, beating back the forces of Mordor with a flaming sword and turning the land into a lush garden. However, Sam simply did not want that burden, they seemed great but his hobbit-sense and humble self reminded him that was to big of a task and all he really wanted was his own garden to tend with his own hands, not to command others on how to tend a garden. So really, the ring couldn't honestly temp Sam cause it didn't understand what Sam wanted. The ring was made to empower in all the wrong ways and Sam just wanted a honest days work and to share drinks with friends by the end of it.

Now go see them at a movie theater when they get played. Earlier this year, I watched the extended trilogy at the movies for the first time. It was glorious!
