this video brought me to patreon and may have persuaded me to try and read LOTR again

Nice go choosing Farmer Maggot! I was wracking my brain trying to figure out who your pick was after Glorfindel. Maggot was actually featured in the radio drama adaptation, and I loved hearing his story there.

Youtube doesn't really allow for shorter content to become successful anymore i'm afraid. It's analytics are based watchtime.

Good final choice, nice roundup of all the contenders, and I genuinely would enjoy more videos in this shorter format if you have more mini-LOTR talks you want to cover :3

The voiceover work was amazing and yes while we all do love Glorfindel, you have a good point on who the coolest character is.

Tom Bombadil is basically Super Chill and Kind Hearted Doctor Manhattan.

That was supposed to be Farmer Maggot? I never realized, I thought it was just some random hobbit. Learn something new every day. Thanks for the list! I admit I thought it was going to be Glorfindel, but I am just as happy with Farmer Maggot, he was straight up badass.

I really like the more focused format. Well done! Good way to tackle this behemoth of a book!

The sword is cool (and of course you would appreciate the specialness of the pommel-hole more than I would, since I have never attempted sword-smithing myself), but my favourite is the Ranger sword or, more to the point, the whole package with scabbard, snack knife etc. :D Yeah, I know I'm weird, but the way that was put together tells stories. :)

I read in a biography that one of Tolkien's daughters had this doll that she named Tom Bombadill and she told her dad at one point that he needed to make Tom a character in one of his stories. So this dude straight up went "obviously my daughter's doll is the most powerful character ever!"

Nice video :)

Is it getting hot in here? (Me listening to the description of Glorfindel's fight with a Balrog)

Yes!!

I loved it! but where is my boy fatty bolger? 😭

Nothing has made me want to read Tolkien as much as this video did

Was kinda expecting Halbarad to be somewhere on the list

I wish. I would love to listen to the songs Dom has commissioned from them.

It would be a funny April Fools joke or something if you *finally* do a Lost in Adaptation on Lord of the Rings....but it's the Ralph Bakshi version.

Matthew Foweraker

So if the never list is done, does a discworld work approach?

Dominic Noble

It can be. Thanks for the heads up

There's a minor editing mistake around 24:42. When you narrate "he answered in a whisper" the text on screen instead shows the previous dialogue of "You had better go back west to Hobbiton--but you can go by road this time." Dunno if that's something that can be (or need be) corrected before the video is uploaded to your real channel.

It’s funny you posted this after I rewatched your hobbit videos. Then as I’m watching Fellowship this notification came on. I will have to watch it before I start Two Towers.

10/10 joined your Patreon for LOTR content, keep it coming!

Loved the video and hearing about multiple characters! Super excited for (hopefully!) more LOTR content 😁

Is there a place to download all of the songs Il Neige has done for your videos? I am willing to pay money for it.

YESSS FARMER MAGGOT :D Ngl I was hoping it would be him, but I thought his brief film appearance would disqualify him and it would end up being Glorfindel. Absolutely loving the LOTR content!
