For those curious, my review of the Gollum game will post next week! In the meantime, I'll be streaming the game again tomorrow (Sunday). Tune in here: youtube.com/live/v_0v743j5ps?feature=share

Imagine how absolutely mind fucked Gollum was when he found ANOTHER Baggins and he ALSO had the ring. Lmao

**I misspoke and said Frodo was the 5th ringbearer, when he is actually 6th. Apologies!

The Gollum game sure does a great job of capturing the absolute misery that is Gollum’s life.

Gollum is honestly one of the most masterfully written characters in any media simply because Tolkien perfectly balances your hatred and sympathy for him when reading. He does vile acts and constantly lies and cheats, but he's so pathetic and his existence is so painful that you can't help but feel sorry for him. It's as if because Tolkien puts him through endless suffering, we as a reader give him endless pity even as he's attempting to kill Frodo and Sam. Then, of course, the revelation that he's needed to destroy the One Ring in the end shows that all that pity and kindness is not foolish or naive, but in reality, what ends up saving the world.

In his final moments, he was reunited with his precious and was victorious in a sense. I like to think that, in his own twisted way, he died happy.

I think the movies made Gollum way too sympathetic. True, he was tragic in the books, too, but he had also been eating babies. His evilness is often overlooked or excused in the movies.

10/10 voicing the Sméagol/Gollum discussion. Most Gollum impressions come across as uncanny and slightly off. Andy Serkis, Liam O'brian and yourself are really the only people I've heard pull it off so well yet remain slightly different to each other.

My goodness, the films make it seem like Aragorn has spent no time with Gollum, there could be an entire set of novels or shows set on Aragorn’s travels with Gollum. Awesome vid as always!

Tolkien actually blamed Sam for Gollum's death. While Frodo was trying to help Sméagol, Sam wasn't having any of it. He constantly berated Sméagol for anything and everything, and according to Tolkien, that was why Gollum was never redeemed. There was a moment in The Two Towers book where Frodo and Sam were napping on the Stairs of Cirith Ungol when Gollum came up to them. After a moment of inner turmoil, it looked like Sméagol had finally won out. He even caressed Frodo's leg before Sam awoke and accused him of "sneaking." According to Tolkien, that exchange was one of the most tragic parts of the Lord of the Rings story. In Letter 246, he explained that "Sam fail[ed] to note the complete change in Gollum's tone and aspect. 'Nothing, nothing', said Gollum softly. 'Nice master!'." Thus, it was only seconds after his near-redemption that Sam was back to accusing him of foul play. Tolkien went on to explain how Gollum's repentance was ruined by Sam's brash and defensive comments. Of course, Sam had to act that way for The Lord of the Rings' narrative, so he can't really be blamed. But still, if Sam hadn't acted in such a way, Gollum could have been redeemed. Tolkien even hypothesized an alternate ending where Gollum took the Ring from Frodo so that he could willingly sacrifice himself and save his master. In that way, Sam was responsible for Gollum's death -- because he prevented Gollum from being redeemed.

That gollum voice is actually perfect. If it's you, you knocked it out of the park. Adds so much to the video.

Your reading and voice work in this video is just exceptional. You would make such a great narrator for an audio book of LOTR.

One thing I also like about Gollum is the contrast and warning he is to both Frodo and Sam as ring bearers. Not just because pity is a noble quality, but also out of respect to what Gollum was and what Frodo might become should the Ring win power over him. They spare him because who would pity them if that happened?

I think one of the biggest tragedies in LoTR is that Gollem never met Galadriel. It would have been interesting to see what she sensed in him and how Gollem would have reacted to seeing such a purely good and beautiful being. It might have even changed Gollem forever

On further thought: Gollum is by far the strangest creation of Tolkiens world!

Oof. That ad read didn't age nearly as well as Gollum did.
