I have only a few real complaints about these films but one is the way the earth collapses in a perfect half circle killing only the bad guy army after this battle. It wasn't even necessary, they were already running away.

The elves really do a shit job in these films when you think about it. Also didn't they have like 3000 years to prepare for Sauron's return? Maybe invent gunpowder or something instead of playing harps all day.

He was a king. He knew he was a king. And he acted like a king would. He wasn't a douche or a fascist.

Managing two towers is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the Orc was a good Orc, the towers would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Gorbag became manager of the two towers of the Black Gate and offered excellent post-work pensions to the trolls that opened the gates, and he was smart and a great people person. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Gorbag's poll policy? Did he charge all entering armies a flat rate, or was their an increased charge for mumakil? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these Uruk Hai? By the end of the Battle of Helms Deep, Saruman is gone but all of the Uruk Hai aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Gorbag pursue a policy of asylum and offer them all housing benefits and free education? Even the big Uruks who clearly aren't children but say they are anyway? cradles?

>>79318441
Why wouldn't he say for Middle Earth or for Humanity of something. For Frodo implies it's just for Frodo. Frodo could have been dead and Sam could have been carrying the ring to Mt. Doom alone but he still said For Frodo. Was he in love with Frodo or something?

>>79327335
He wanted to tap that sweet hobbit arse.

>>79327335
are you one of these people who thinks cheering for their team improves their odds?
and if he were dead mouth of sauron would have come with his head

>>79319251
>Aragorn and Gandalf think Frodo is dead at this point.
No, Faramir told them that he was alive last time he saw it
Also Sauron was still an eye, he didn't have his power back which meant he didn't have his ring back so they attacked with all they had to fool Sauron into focus on them while leaving Frodo time to cast the ring into the volcano. It was an all or nothing but they didn't have nothing to lose

>>79327495
so they had something to lose? what was it specifically?

>>79327495
>didnt leave a fucking troll+10 elite orcs, or even a single nazgul because he can sense a ring to guard the enterance
still is a huge plot hole

>>79327572

>>79326716

No one think the Hobbit movies are legendary.

>>79327495
actually they more than likely DID think he was dead at that point. i mean they got his mithril mail from the mouth.

>>79328099
>i mean they got his mithril mail from the mouth.
its really doesnt prove it, if they had frodo they would have brought him

>>79327335
Because for Frodo means exactly the same thing and it's not like he said it to everyone there

>>79328099
I'm fairly certain there's a line from the book stating that's exactly why they thought it was bullshit

He wasn't anti-technology, he just knew that level of technology didn't exist in our ancient past. Don't you know all this stuff really happened? It's history. It's not like he can rewrite history to be some sort of fantastical tale with gun powder and assault rifles. He has to be realistic, and write about dragons, orcs, magic swords and rings of power.

>>79328995

>>79329116
Only Mirkwood Elves are killjoy faggots

Do we have any idea of the distances in Middle-Earth? Like, how far from the Shire in the North to Mordor in the South?

The only plothole is that there was literally no guards near Mt. Doom. Just a couple of Orcs watching the entrance and the quest would have failed right there.

>>79328929
>i bid you stand men of the west

This applies today

>>79329292
It's a fucking volcano, not a military facility. And Sauron has no idea that they're carrying the ring to Mordor of all places.

>>79326994
>>79327167
Don't forget the trees. They scared the shit out of the orcs

>>79329397

Right, I get that the point is that Sauron could not fathom the idea that anyone would try to destroy the ring, but even so. Just having a few guards stationed around his territory, even when the army moves out seems quite reasonable.

I am trained in elven war arts and I'm the top archer in the entire Mirkwood army. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Middle-Earth, mark my fucking words.
