wtf.. radagast fighting gandalf? where did you guys get that idea from? radagast is a good guy

[gaffo1212]

About the only thing these guys got right in this video is that their Gollum impression was terrible.

[TheShipwrightCirdan]

I believe the most plausible conception for the character at 4:55 is definitely not Radagast the Brown, but rather Thrain. He was the father of Thorin, and was taken by the Necromancer (Sauron) because he possessed one of the Seven Rings of the Dwarves. He went mad from torture in the fortress of Dol Guldur, therefore he may have been forced to attack Gandalf, as shown in the scene. I think this makes the most sense because "Radagast" has a face resembling a dwarf's.

@Party4Lemons That was a minor change, but I'd doubt they'd relocate Goblin-Town to an outdoor setting.

radagast is a good guy try to reed a book and tell ass then what hapens

[Party4Lemons]

@xDangerouslyAwkwardx Buuuuttt...they could of changed it for film reasons, like in The Return of the King book, Gandalf's confrontation with the Witch-king is at the Minas Tirith gate, but in the film it's on some street :)

[xDangerouslyAwkwardx]

@Party4Lemons Yes, but this clearly is outdoors in some ruins, not underground.

[Party4Lemons]

@xDangerouslyAwkwardx It could also be the Great Goblin, although most of that scene did take place in a cave...just saying :)

[xDangerouslyAwkwardx]

Gandalf isn't fighting Radagast. They're on the same side.

Gandalf most likely isn't fighting the Necromancer either. I'm sure they'd use more powerful methods of wizard vs sorcerer combat than melee.

Gandalf is fighting Thráin, Thorin's father, who was driven insane by the Necromancer after he was tortured and had his Ring of Power taken from him.

[lukesirois11]

definately he is fighting the necromancer... it even saays in the book that he drove the necromancer out...

[GaBsz360]

Fuck...just read the fucking book and stop making stupid analysis
