By now you've probably pieced together that the final Hobbit film is mostly one big battle. But what you won't see is the behind-the-scenes rap battle that set off the entire conflict in the first place.
YouTube Channel the Warp Zone has channeled their inner Tolkien to create The Hobbit: Rap Battle of the Five Armies. Galadriel begins the rap as she warns of the death and destruction to come.
"Brothers, peace comes not with swords but with words," she sings. Yeah, I don't think anybody is listening. It is a "rap battle" after all.
Every main character is represented here. You have Thorin trying to be all kingly and selfish. You have Legolas, being all prim and proper. Gandalf, being cool as always. And then of course you have Bilbo, throwing down some mad rhymes before being knocked unconscious by a couple of orcs, who then proceed to do a rap all their own.
There are quite a few jokes for fans of the films and books here, and even some foreshadowing for those who don't know what happens at the end of Battle of the Five Armies. Don't worry -- there aren't any spoilers, but don't expect Sauron to die.
This isn't the first Hobbit-themed rap from The Warp Zone either. You can check out the Misty Mountains rap here.
If you are looking for even more Hobbit parody videos, you need to watch The Office: Middle-Earth skit from SNL if you haven't already. And you definitely need to see Stephen Colbert interview Smaug the dragon. It just might be Colbert's most heated interview yet.
