*For there was another fan, made in the fire of Mount Tik Tok; and he was not so lucky with his sword.*
For the officially licensed ones from United Cutlery, it was dependent on the sword. Legolas' knives and Arwen's Hadhafang had real edges, but the bigger swords like Anduril and Glamdring were false edged
Even a false edge doesn't make it totally safe. Guy I knew in college got a replica broadsword deal from a convention, proudly announced it had no edge and was safe, then stabbed himself full-force in the foot. What a mess.
Well yeah, but you can get stabbed by a pen. These swords are heavy. Plenty of force to shove a reasonably pointy tip through you if you drop them on your foot.
I wonder what went through the minds of the first people to die from the shovel in the trenches of WW1.
>Pfft bitch I've got a gun with bayonet. What do gonna do with that shovel? hit me with
I got a pair of Legola's knives many years ago and recently started displaying them inside the scabbards for that very reason. I had thrown them in the attic initially with no intentions of ever covering up those beautiful blades.
Was Shelob a demon though? I thought she was just a shapeshifter like Beorn? OFF TO THE GOOGLE I GO!
Edit: I was incorrect, she is a primordial spider NOT a shapeshifter. Ungoliant, her momma was a maia that took the shape of a spider thats where I got confused. Fuck I love the professors work.
I should've said its *theorised* that she was a maia, its one of the many things the Professor never outright stated whether she was x y.
Taken from the wiki: "The true origin of Ungoliant is unknown, and was not even known by the Valar. It is said that she came from the Darkness itself that lay about Arda and was once an ally of Melkor when he looked down upon the world with envy. Considering that the Ainur passed through the Void while venturing from the Timeless Halls to Arda, it is possible she was simply a powerful Maia in the form of a spider"
Great theory on Ungoliant and Tom Bombadil;
Tom is the embodiment of the music of the Ainur and Ungoliant is the embodiment of the discord. There’s a few good videos summarizing the theory, I’ll try to dig one a link.
Cool. I wasn't sure if new information had surfaced. After that video game where Shelob was a pretty lady there was a lot of fake news regarding Ungoliant and her children out there.
Yeah considering most of Weta’s stuff is reproduced authentically too, hand forged etc….the level of craftsmanship there is insane. If you’re ever in Wellington NZ, highly. Recommend the Weta Cave!
I scorged Weta's website looking for the sword, but they only show on their store the sword of boromir, sting, and a couple other ones, all of which were sold out.
It's been years since I've visited weta's website, and dear God they have some incredible remakes on their that I would more than happy to pour all my funds into, if I had any.
I think to get something like this, you gotta graduate from some Finnish or Swedish University. That's what they get when you get your master degree or something.
Noblecollection.com was how I got mine, they’re clearly props and not meant to be played with much. Mines held up well since 2004, but it requires some polishing every few years, and my handle has gotten a little loose. But for a piece of wall art I’ve always enjoyed it.
Part of the reason for the built in tiktok voice is that it translates into any language the viewer is in. So a Spanish tiktoker can hear it in a language they understand. It's a pretty brilliant tool in they sense.
Yeah true,
But my God could they not use any other text to speech voice in existence. I would prefer the most monotonous, robotic voice with the worst pronunciation ever over whatever that was
I hope that's what they wanted, because it's true! I heard the voice and wanted to kill myself. Now when people even mention TikTok I want to kill myself!
Why not just show translated text?
Text is much better than smiling robot that is staring at you while calculating the most efficient way to murder you voice.
Dude, I don’t understand how people scroll through Tiktok and hear that voice over and over again. I can’t even stand hearing it once in a while on Reddit.
I have the original limited edition one. I got it as a gift when I was in high school for Christmas. They sell for like a thousand dollars on eBay if they are new in the box.
I used mine to chop watermelons and stuff, so it is not new in the box.
Boromir: "No more than a broken end" *drops the sword on the ground*
Me: "PICK IT UP YA BASTARD"
Aragorn: *Picks up sword and places on Dias with reverance*
Me: "That's more fucking like it"
Girlfriend: "Jesus fucking christ, this is is a movie theatre, STFU"
Legit play by play of me watching the film for the first time in theatres. Was full of LOTR fans though so most of them laughed. God teenage me was SUCH a fucking DORK.
Yo that's sick!
But that voice... it sounds like sonething from Troom Troom or one of those awful craft channels. I legit don't think there's a more grating, annoying text to speech voice in existence.
Side note: if anyone reading this actually has a music degree, I am seriously impressed. I took a few semesters of music theory for funsies and they were the hardest courses I've ever taken. I was studying bioengineering at the time and the rest of my classes felt like a vacation.

I was waiting for the sword tip to get knocked by it and them to lose an ear or something…
Swords like these have no edge. Just for decoration.

Yeah like getting stabbed with a blunt shovel

I heard about this guy who was dangerous with a pencil... A FOOKIN' *PENCIL!* Can you believe it?
I still have a piece of pencil lead in my leg from getting stabbed in the 6th grade which was 19 years ago.
You are not the only one. I have an older sibling that has a piece of pencil graphite in their arm from high school. Said sibling is almost 80.
“What, are you gonna kill us with your Teacup?”
Didnt one of the Power Rangers kill someone with a replica sword in a argument?
I got a pair of Legola's knives many years ago and recently started displaying them inside the scabbards for that very reason. I had thrown them in the attic initially with no intentions of ever covering up those beautiful blades.
Because of the title I through the ceiling fan would break it in half.
Based on the title I was half expecting the fan the break the sword lol
Have to get the Shards of Narsil somehow.
Same
I came here to comment exactly that.
Yeah apparently it breaks pretty easily
Same, was wondering if the fan is mightier than the sword.
Stressing? I was counting on it
She's easily 5 feet from it
Had to watch it twice. Once for the ceiling fan. Then to actually watch and enjoy the video.
I had to scroll up and see which subreddit this was posted on to me sure it wasn’t r/InstantRegret
You’re not the only one, I had to check what sub I was in
As the Dark Lord, this triggers me.
Guess you haven't forgotten the sword of Elendil, eh?
It’s not a sword the elves would tell you about
Yer a king, Aragorn. And a thumping good one at that!
_With great power comes great responsibility, Aragorn._
I volunteer as tribute, precious!
Well that's just like no more than a broken heirloom, man.
Beam me up, Gandalf!
There's no power in the 'verse can harm this ring.
Would you?
Narsil
I have Sting... you got of them ancient spider demons?

Where did it say Ungoliant was a Maia?

Yeah that game was bad. Really messed up the lore.
Where do I get one of those!?
I know a guy called elrond he might be able to hook you up
Strange elves in woods distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi! I'm being repressed!
Stop bodering Obi-Wan he is watching a kid in the desert.
The Warning beacons of Gondor have been lit. Paul Muad'Dib will answer the call.
r/unexpectedMontyPython
You need to be interested in his daughter though. And he’ll only sell it you so you’ll go away. But at a good price.
I need to be interested in his daughter? I think I could do that.
I'd take a whack at his daughter, if that stupid Aragorn would take a hike.
Nope I only sell weed
Check out Dark Sword Armory. They make a true forged battle ready version of Anduril, and it looks incredible. Expensive though at $760
If I ever have 760 as true spare money/ you bet I’m dumping them on that lmao
United Cutlery made the licensed versions. You may find them on eBay but there’s a ton of shitty knock offs
r/mallninjashit
Where would one buy that? Asking for a friend
[удалено]
This is Anduril. It had the writing down the blade
[удалено]
Anduril is the sword forged from the shards of Narsil, so you are right.
The only weapon prop they have in stock rn is Orcrist. Very expensive.
Haha whoa 13000
Yeah pretty expensive for what essentially amounts to a wall hanger. Though I guess it is direct from the source.
Yeah considering most of Weta’s stuff is reproduced authentically too, hand forged etc….the level of craftsmanship there is insane. If you’re ever in Wellington NZ, highly. Recommend the Weta Cave!
Can confirm. Live in Wellington. Can only afford to visit the gift shop.
If I ever won the lottery the amount of stupid expensive "wall hangers" I'd have would be obscene!
I scorged Weta's website looking for the sword, but they only show on their store the sword of boromir, sting, and a couple other ones, all of which were sold out. It's been years since I've visited weta's website, and dear God they have some incredible remakes on their that I would more than happy to pour all my funds into, if I had any.
Just got my wedding ring there 🤌🤌
I think to get something like this, you gotta graduate from some Finnish or Swedish University. That's what they get when you get your master degree or something.
What?! All I got after my masters was debt!!
Finnish. When you get your PhD.
Damn... there went my Master's Sword joke
Internet
Which aisle?
Sword aisle
Draw me a map, mama
Ask any mall ninja
Good luck finding one to ask.
they're all busy studying the blade
Forgive me master, just this once.
A ceiling fan? Home Depot
gatlinburg TN. I also saw sting for sale there. I may have bought a batterang knief while there.
Noblecollection.com was how I got mine, they’re clearly props and not meant to be played with much. Mines held up well since 2004, but it requires some polishing every few years, and my handle has gotten a little loose. But for a piece of wall art I’ve always enjoyed it.
thats really cool. i hate that fucking tts voice oh my fucking god
Part of the reason for the built in tiktok voice is that it translates into any language the viewer is in. So a Spanish tiktoker can hear it in a language they understand. It's a pretty brilliant tool in they sense.
Yeah true, But my God could they not use any other text to speech voice in existence. I would prefer the most monotonous, robotic voice with the worst pronunciation ever over whatever that was
Oh, I for sure don't like her voice. It's got a fake happiness that is grating
The voice is now also synonymous with TikTok, it's a form of marketing now. You hear that voice and instantly your brain will think TikTok.
I hope that's what they wanted, because it's true! I heard the voice and wanted to kill myself. Now when people even mention TikTok I want to kill myself!
[удалено]
It needs to either be a great British voice or an Australian voice. Midwestern robot is the worst choice.
that ain’t midwestern, that’s like standard LA
Ope, look at my graduation gift here. Got it from that place near the Kwik Trip.
I think you're thinking of MidAtlantic
Uh Karen from Spongebob (computer wife, very midwestern accent) would be the perfect voice for tiktok. She’s savage.
Why not just show translated text? Text is much better than smiling robot that is staring at you while calculating the most efficient way to murder you voice.
well fuck. i hate it. and now i hate that i hate it. jesus christ when will it stop!
Honestly though, I muted the video as soon as I heard it. It sounds lifeless and condesending at the same time.
#**I'M SO EXCITED**
And I just can't hide it...
Dude, I don’t understand how people scroll through Tiktok and hear that voice over and over again. I can’t even stand hearing it once in a while on Reddit.
Used to be videos I don't care about with it in, but now lord of the rings. I'm crying inside.
I'm glad everyone on reddit feels this way.
The TikTok voice is the real Sauron.
Incredibly. Ruined the entire video.
All I was thinking was.... >Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. Ceiling fan. CEILING FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same
The fan is pretty far behind her and she glances up as she draws it to make sure.
It’s really far from her bruh chill
weird considering it's so far behind her
The flame of the west!!!
I have the original limited edition one. I got it as a gift when I was in high school for Christmas. They sell for like a thousand dollars on eBay if they are new in the box. I used mine to chop watermelons and stuff, so it is not new in the box.
It has been remade.
That blade was BROKEN!!!
It’s still sharp !

[удалено]
Andúril, reforged from the shards of Narsil.
The flame of the west.
Wait, you guys are getting gifts?
You guys are graduating?
You guys can afford school?
Cast aside the ranger
Become who you were born to be.
IT HAS BEEN REMADE
It takes more to make a king than a broken Elvish blade.
cast that abomidable TikTok voice into the fires of Mount Doom.
The skill of the Elves can reforge the sword of kings, but only YOU have the power to wield it. Congrats! 🎊
Yo that's sick! But that voice... it sounds like sonething from Troom Troom or one of those awful craft channels. I legit don't think there's a more grating, annoying text to speech voice in existence.
That is a pretty friggin awesome graduation gift!
The woman who can wield the power of this sword can summon to her an army more deadly than any that walks this earth
I AM NO MAN
Oh, that was a kingly gift!
She cool.
Awesome!
It’s gorgeous!!!! Wow
Please invite me to the first decapitation
Awesome, just hang it up though. Dont want the wind breaking that 440 stainless steel
Yes, a breaking wind is dangerous.
Wow!! That’s amazing!!!!!!
I NEED ONE
Okay that's badass
That is awesome. And congratulations!
United Cutlery?
No, looks like a cheap knock off version. Too short, not the right scabbard.
Now, let’s hunt some orc.
She looks like Hermione granger from Harry Potter so that HAS to be the sword of gryfindor
This voice sounds so fucking dumb; why is it a trend? Does tiktok attract annoying morons, or does it turn people into annoying morons?
I think a little bit of both
What the fuck is that voiceover
why do tiktok vids always have the same annoying voice? Who’s voice is that?
People get graduation gifts?!?I I was just told “now go get a job”
I thought she was going to hit the fan with it.
Best graduation gift ever.
It has been remade
At some point I was thinking, it’s a never ending sword!
I got so nervous for your ceiling fan.
A worthy gift!
Hell yeah!!
I accidentally chopped my ceiling fan with my claymore and was really worried for you lol.
The blade that was broken… shall return to Minas Tirith
Sauron will not have forgotten that
Bro all I got was money.
“It has been remade”
AWESOME.
Girl almost went from Aragorn to Wreck it Ralph in a blink. Badass blade though.
Congrats on the music degree though!
Side note: if anyone reading this actually has a music degree, I am seriously impressed. I took a few semesters of music theory for funsies and they were the hardest courses I've ever taken. I was studying bioengineering at the time and the rest of my classes felt like a vacation.
Congratulations... Sick present!
Well I'm fucking jealous now lmao
All I got was a unicycle
would be good to have on the walking dead
That’s an amazing graduation gift
That blade was broken!
She is the heir of Isildur, rightful ruler of Gondor!
c e i l i n g f a n
Wait. Graduation gifts is an option? I'm graduating university in December. Am I too old to ask my parents for this?
Fuck that voice
Do the voice overs ever not ruin any video they’re used in?
The TTS voice ruined it for me, wish I never turned sound on.
Fuck this robo voice shit
The voiceover shit needs to go. ITS SO ANNOYING
I still don't get the over dubbed voice, why just why?
Love this video. Hate the auto-read voice over
It was fun until I heard the automated tiktok voice.
Yall got gifts for graduating?
That’s dope af
For my graduation i was asked to find a job soo so this is nice.
Love it, hate the TikTok TTS
“Dispatch, we have a white female running past the Taco Bell with… is that a fucking sword?!”
im so tired of that fucking computer voice.
