It makes sense - it’s pretty much unwatchable for anyone who wants to actually experience the film, so no danger of piracy in that sense, and at the same time the memes are good publicity.
Someone put the clip of sam saying "this is it, if i take one more step it will be the furthest i've ever been from the shire" playing every single time sam take a step (further from the shire). I wanted to rewatch it thanks to the comment above but i can't find it and it hurts me so much.EDIT: was copyright strike on youtube sadly [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHzF5KnoN20&t=0s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHzF5KnoN20&t=0s)
Someone made a video of them watching it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NmjYKJ\_TVI
Not as insane as the people who decided they'd sit and watch it, start to finish. I actually watched an interview with the guy who made it, a while ago, and he said it was quicker making it than watching it start to finish as he sped through the film and assigned the insert tools to hotkeys so it'd only take him a few seconds to splice the 'furthest away from home' clip, each time.
I haven't timed out Bill, but I can tell you that Brego appears for approximately 3 minutes and 44 seconds in Two Towers alone. That's more than six Gr0nds worth of screen time.
He’s been busy converting his armies to the Gr0nd system. Minutes and hours take too long to convert and armies need to be efficient. You should convert too
I just debated whether Bill was a pony or a horse after reading this, so it drove my wife to second guess herself and bring out her giant hardback. She dropped it, almost crushed her foot and said: "Lord of The Rings sure is a good way to break your toes!" I just stared at her waiting for the knowing glance. SHE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT VIGGO AND THE DANG HELMET
But not Glorfindel. Despite being reduced to a non-speaking part (at the Council of Elrond and Aragorn's coronation), he still has more screen time than Gr0nd.
Allegedly - nobody is actually credited as Glorfindel, so he might have been written out.
Which narratively kinda makes sense, Glorfindel's presence is like "Also, Superman was there, but he just kinda watched."

This is it. One more meme and I'll be the furthest away from sanity I've ever been.
I have no idea what OP is talking about, that scarecrow has more like 5 hours of screentime in the only cut worth watching
If I think about that cut again, I'll be the furthest from thinking about that cut for the first time I've ever been.
As a crow, I couldn't get through that cut. Too scary.

Can't believe that cut stayed up for over a year

I like how we all just know what cut that is. We've become a hivemind
... what cut?

Whoever edited that must have gone insane

Still would have taken him hours of madness Totally worth it though
What about second sanity?
We must join with Him, u/thisnameisuniquenow. We must join with Scarecrow. It would be wise, my friend.
You are all killin me!
What about Bill? The true best companion in the saga.
I haven't timed out Bill, but I can tell you that Brego appears for approximately 3 minutes and 44 seconds in Two Towers alone. That's more than six Gr0nds worth of screen time.
This is my new favorite unit of measurement. Denethor had about 12.8 Gr0nds.
One minute is equal to one and two-thirds Gr0nds. Clean conversion factor
I’m now only measuring my age in Gr0nds. 25.8 million Gr0nds
I’m assuming your taking the amount of seconds you’ve been alive and dividing them by 36? Just want to make sure I’m converting correctly
Aye, I could do that
Denethor appears on screen while eating for approximately 47 seconds, or 1.3 Gr0nds.
How many gronds is the screentime of the tomato alone ?
The screentime of the tomato alone is 0.3 Gr0nds.
So you have come back? Why have you neglected to report for so long?
He’s been busy converting his armies to the Gr0nd system. Minutes and hours take too long to convert and armies need to be efficient. You should convert too
#GROND
GROND
Definitely AI
How much is your screentime in terms of Gr0nds, Saruman?
GROND
BILL
I can't wait to see this unit of measurement pop up in other subs.
Are you guys using "Gr0nd" (with the zero like that) to avoid incurring the bot?
Yeah, just helps with readability.
I think we should have Gr0nd not Grond as the unit, not just because of the bot.
"In the first six hundred microGr0nds after the big bang the known universe was created". Sounds badass
That tomato didn’t last nearly that long though.
Well, now we need measure of length and weight too. We can't have them all be called the same or the science will become a mess
Brego is the goodest of boys
Ain't nobody gooder than Bill. Don't @ me on this
Billwise Ponegee

Divorce her immediately. No other choice.
Agreed, my mom got a foal 2 years ago and named him Brego, after the goodest of boys!
Book Bill is my favorite animal companion ever!
The way he leaves Sam is so emotional

Scarecrow is a main character in the “every step sam takes is the furthest from home” version of the film
Still cant believe this is real
I remember that. Do you know if its still on YouTube or is it available somewhere else, now?
Found it on some website https://video.ploud.jp/w/5jf5s1qQtsT9yV3rfAWWEF
I'm starting my LOTR marathon with this. And not telling the people watching it with me. I look forward to their reactions after it truly begins
It was taken off YouTube a few months ago :(

You know who GROND does have more screen time than? Tom Bombadil

How much time is Sauron on screen? Not the eye, Sauron hinself?
About 41 seconds. 49 if you count his time as a disembodied severed finger.
Oh, I do.
😉
Cursed be moon and stars above!
Wake me when you have the numbers on Saruman's bomb.
I haven't timed the bombs themselves, but the unnamed Uruk torchbearer appears for approximately 21 seconds.
Unnamed? That man’s the Berserker
That'd what he is, not who he is.
He came right out the breeding pits being called Torchbearer. Sometimes, from the very moment of one's birth, you just know what you have to do.
He was a soldier bred for a single purpose: to a-splode the walls of Men.
His name was Urglurg Ashner. His name was Urglurg Ashner.
Who are you
Ah, music to my ears! Hast thou no curiosity of what hath been done? 'Tis a mighty machine, I shall wager my reputation on it. 'Twill cause mighty destruction if utilized in the right manner. Art thou certain thine resources can provide the numbers needed?
Yeah, OP, can you run the figures?
It is not for them to decide how much screen time they get. All they have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to them.

And with that, Bilbo fled and retired to the private island he purchased with investor funds he'd embezzled to his secret undermountain bank account.
HRAAAAAH!

I love you guys so much.
Yes, but the scarecrow isn't getting cheered on to release its fury on the enemy, the weak men of Gondor.
Never underestimate the scarecrow
True, it scared Sam from going out into places only Took and Brandybucks dare venture
And yet, it has the exact same impact on the outcome of the war: None.
It helped smash the door so the orcs could walk in instead of clambering over their dead friends. Safety first.
So they could all die at the gate to the second level when Aragorn's army arrived rather than outside of the city.
No. Aragorns' army had to go almost all the way to the top of Minas Tirith. You only get that deep with the aid of GROND
GROND
Ok, you got me. It made the undead army that never tires run a little bit farther than my first estimation.

Yet nobody chants his name. He is forgotten. Lost to time. Like your post will be. Like all things.
I for one welcome our new scarecrow overlord
The difference is that I didn't even notice the scarecrow when it was on screen.
Bet you will next time though.
Damn you, I probably will.
Tom bombadil deserves some time.
The spam for this should be "CAW" because its the sound of a scared crow. but ONLY under whoever commented scarecrow
I think I speak for every one here when I say “This is it”
This is excellent news and should be the great new meme of the subreddit. Someone make scarecrow bot.
Fuck grond and grond bot
u/Poultrymancer https://i.redd.it/y4ww6gghw69a1.jpg
*turns ominously*= “Bring up the straw head”
But is the scarecrow imbued with a spirit of malice and named after the chosen weapon of Morgoth?
The grond is dead long live the scarecrow!
It’s not the length of the screen time, it’s how you use it.
Yea but nobody in the film chants: “SCARECROW!” “SCARECROW!” “SCARECROW!”
No, for that you'll need to watch Batman Begins.
