I don't understand the joke. They weren't trying to invade and no one believed they were going to win. The whole thing was a distraction.

The orcs in LOTR were fucking pathetic literally storm trooper tier. I hate how super powerful evil empires always have pathetic soldiers in movies just for the plot

>>83471596
they had no hope of winning anyway

>>83471642
If they all get massacred in 5 minutes it's not much of a distraction. They should try to draw the battle out for as long as possible to ensure Frodo has enough time to destroy the Ring without getting caught.
Letting yourself get surrounded is a pretty good way of losing fast.

>>83471596
>Feints are maneuvers designed to distract or mislead, done by giving the impression that a certain maneuver will take place, while in fact another, or even none, will. In military tactics and many types of combat, there are two types of feints: feint attacks and feint retreats.
>A feint attack is designed to draw defensive action towards the point under assault. It is usually used as a diversion to force the enemy to concentrate more manpower in a given area, to weaken the opposing force in another area.

>>83471648
It's almost like they were trying to make a movie with cool action scenes where we can see how badass the main heroes are.

But I agree, it would have been much better if Aragorn had gotten nicked with a rusty orc sword in the first movie then died of tetanus. More realistic.

what would an Orctopia be like?

If you want to criticize the warfare in LotR, criticize the way cavalry is used. The rest is mostly fine.

There's a bunch of movies where the hero get their ass kicked by the bad guy then escapes and come back later after he's learned his shit and wins. \It's a super common story structure.

>>83471098
Opening volleys from missile troops should always come from ahead of your infantry lines. If you keep your archers behind then enemy archers will be able to shoot your guys while standing out of range of return fire.

>>83471875

TL;DR gimme the jist of it

>>83471823
Actually, they did, but a lot of orcs fled to Mordor and eveyone was like "fuck this shit" and left them alone.

>>83471880
Calvary charging directly into a formation of infantry is absolutely retarded. It's suicidal in real life, but it's not so bad in a fantasy setting I guess.

>>83471823
There was no way they could, Orcs mostly lived underground in hidden places like Angband all throughout Middle Earth, and Orcs breed fast. They were only really a threat when someone like Morgoth or Sauron started controlling them.

>>83471880
Charging elephants head on wasn't especially bright.

But then Theoden is mad with grief and battlelust at that point. He's the biggest idiot in the films, and Gandalf plays him and his suicide squad like a fiddle.

>>83471880
I assume that they just rode into enemy lines and just stayed there fighting in hand to hand from on top of their horse rather than crashing through the line and then turning around and doing it again.

Hannibal did like the orc did in >>83471596 then this happen
>as their outer ranks were continually cut down, and the survivors forced to pull back and huddle together, they were finally all killed where they stood."[30]

As Livy described, "So many thousands of Romans were dying... Some, whom their wounds, pinched by the morning cold, had roused, as they were rising up, covered with blood, from the midst of the heaps of slain, were overpowered by the enemy. Some were found with their heads plunged into the earth, which they had excavated; having thus, as it appeared, made pits for themselves, and having suffocated themselves."[2]:22.51 Cowley claims that nearly six hundred legionaries were slaughtered each minute until darkness brought an end to the bloodletting.[33] Only 14,000 Roman troops managed to escape, most of whom had cut their way through to the nearby town of Canusium.

>>83471903
Vastly outnumbered Carthaginian army led by Hannibal outmaneuvers Roman army and completely surrounds them, then proceeds to slaughter some 75,000 of them.

>>83471098
Are you just plain stupid?

Pikes in front provides a one man-layer of defense for the archers. It's a fool-proof strategy that will stop a 100 metre thick cavalry charge.

Literally irrelevant. If he wanted to buy time he should have deployed in a triplex acies or literally ANY formation other than a mob blob
If I was on that battlefield with my boys, it wouldn't have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of orc blood in that field and then me saying "OK, we're going to deploy somewhere safely, don't worry''

They shouldn't have added the elves in Twin Towers and instead have them show up in a much larger force in Gondor and their last stand in Mordor

The pikes were in front. Watch the part where the horses hit the front enemies. They were the pikes. Those archers in OP are in a formation behind them.

Or should they stack pole to hole and fire their arrows so that they are balanced on the heads of the pikemen in front of them?

>>83472252
I get that they could avoid the whole thing by simply not shooting in volleys, but the contraption itself makes sense, right?

>>83471596
Aragorn could've used the black gate as a buffer so only a few hundred orcs could fight them at any given time.

>>83472276
>but the contraption itself makes sense, right?

I don't remember seeing the machine they fired them from, but it makes no sense whatsoever unless the spinning parts open out after being fired. How else can they be fired from a machine. Presumably they are fired from a Ballista of some sort, but this makes no sense as the spinning parts around the arrow would be in the way.

>>83472336
>that series is terrible
Why do you think that? I liked them, especially since I'm quite interested in the time period and the way historical events differ.

>>83472339

And everyone would have died under a hail of arrows

>>83472276
Yeah but to throw hammers like that is basically magic anyway.

>>83472299
Yeah but most elves have arrows. Pretty sure not all of them are dead. Could easily fire another volley but they are retarded.

>>83472352
get to book 4, nah just get to book 2, it gets fucking retarded, even before china comes into it

>>83472296
It doesn't sound too complicated. The only problem I can see is making it spin fast enough. It could launch like a regular ballista with some fins on the arrow to give it spin. Then just attach some leather straps on the side that get straightened out as it starts spinning and that's that. I guess it would have to be a pretty damn big ballista.

>>83472389
I read them. What you find retarded others might find cool.

>>83472393

I can think of a couple problems.

- The spin might destabilize easily.
- Making sure it fires just to hit the arrows.

But in theory it might work. I don't know, I am not an engineer.

>>83472252
Yes, they do and yes they try.
and iirc the drawves did the same again.

and its just giving the drawves time to get in melee range for their axe fighters.

>>83472393
nigga you would have to perfectly match the trajectory of the volley of arrows with the trajectory of the fucking spinning retard-machines, and even doing just that cancels out all of one volley of arrows.

>>83472649
Practicality is not a concern here, just the mechanics of it.

Does anyone else sometimes put on the LOTR soundtrack and cry their eyes out just thinking about all the braveness and camaraderie. I don't think a film nor a book captures the essence of being a good man better than LOTR.

>>83472706
Imagine a helicopter without the back rotor.
That arrow would be out of control.
Add to that what a 1000 projectiles hitting it would do to it's trajectory.

And just the size of it, how long is the elves line? 100m? More?
That's like 5 giant arrows with a rotor, thats like a 20 meter wing span.
It also seems to be at least the same size in length, so that's a 20 meter long projectile, shot whit enough force to fly hundreds of meters, with the drag of 20m rotating wings.

Mechanically it makes no sense.

the surrounded force has enough mass they could possibly break the line of the enemy if they charge, which would put them in a good position to continue to flank them. the orcs shouldn't have completely surrounded they shoud have made a V.

You realise their capital still uses wooden walls

Let the archers stand in front and have a clear shot with the pikes/spears close behind them until the enemy almost reaches the archers with their infantry or cavalry THEN you pull the pikes through the archers to protect them from a charge. Pikes now handle the assault with their long attack range whilest the archers have an almost point blank shot at the bound up troops which will decimate them very quickly. It's a pretty good formation

"Death!" Theoden cries, as the men of Rohan look at each other with growing concern over their chances.

That speech is better in the book as Eomer says it after finding Eowyn on the battlefield, when the Rohirrim are already fucked up.

>>83473212
No, they should be 18ft minimum

>>83474118
it COULD work if gravity affected elves more than rocks
so Legolas falls faster than the rocks and thus can produce an upward force by stepping on them

>>83473212
they're all outfitted with plate armor and helmets, which is much, much more expensive than a long wooden pole.
and before you say 'mordor has no tree so where get wood :)', to the lands east of Mordor there is huge amounts of forested and arable land open to them, how else were the hundreds of thousands of orcs in Mordor were fed.

>>83474490
no the problem is the stones can't support a weight when they have nothing supporting them

>>83472224
>>83474118
If he steps down on the rock faster than the gravity fall wouldn't he be able to create some force for a jump? Never struck me as impossible that scene?

>>83471648
What are you talking about? Every timr an orc fights a human soldier the orcs win. They slaughter the Rohirrim on the walls at Helms Deep, the annihilate the fully plate armoured Gondorians at Osigiliath and Minas Tirith. The only time they are killed is cavalry or arrows.
Even the uruks are supposed to barely be a match for a human soldier in battle, they aredangerous because of numbers, incredible stamina and Saurons will forcing them to attack relentlessly.
They aren't supposed to be 7ft tall kill machines, they could have had thr dtronger troops, the Dunlendings, Haradrim, trolls and Easterlings and shit if they wanted to show the good guys getting killed in melee

Fuck Hackson.

>>83474529
you are telling me newtons 3rd law is bullshit?
It is not about the support or standing on something dude, if you kick downwards in space there will be a little thrust that pushes you up

>>83474592
both him and the stones are falling at the same rate. where is the upward thrust coming from?

>>83472188
Didn't a rift form between them after Aragorn's ancestor kept the ring for himself after succumbing to its evil? I don't think there was another grouping of humans and elves fighting orcs beside one another after the defeat of Sauron.

>>83474679
holy shit, stop posting

>>83474679
I just explained it
if gravity affects Legolas more than the rocks, then he can kick it and gain momentum upwards without displacing the rocks downwards
they are stationary to him

>>83474741
>if gravity affects legolas more

no it would work if HE was much lighter than each rock. meaning each kick would send him up more than he displaces the rock

>>83474790
So if he were... an elv? Fucking redditors hoping they look sophisticated

>>83474790
no
everything falls at the same rate in free fall regardless of their mass (ma=mg --> a=g)
do you even Galileo??
the physics of this is nonsense

>>83474741
OK let's pretend this gravity theory isn't stupid for the sake of the argument.

>>83471500
>Can't interpret sarcasm
Shoot yourself in the balls.

>>83474867
but he is kicking another body in free fall which would create a relative velocity between the two.

Okay Aragon but why? So we can die outside and not in here where we could hold back some Uruk and give time to the civilians to escape to the caves?

Also why does Legolas have shiny eyes in this one (didn't watch it)? In the LotR trilogy he his eyes are more opaque IIRC

>>83477689
Because they are eyes.......OF WAR

Only Gorgoroth is a barren wasteland. The rest of Mordor is very fertile.

But, yeah, DRUMPFHG is obviously what he meant because it's all a very recent thing isn't it? Muslims have never ever invaded Europe in history. Read a fucking book

No, he obviously meant Trump because there have been "comparisons" made between Trump and Aragorn literally on this board.

>b-but it's okay when we do it

>>83471098
There's space between the first and the second line you crackaddict.

>>83471642
I think that is from a comic that takes place in a universe where lotr doesn't exist, and it's just a rolepalying game.
So it takes shots from lotr and makes a story based around the personalities of the players playing the characters.

Not sure though, but it seems like it.
I read a pretty funny one like that about the phantom menace.
R2d2 player was a min/maxer who took bad traits like stunted and mute so he could have better tech skills

Are you mentally challenged? I wonder if you'd believe the people comparing right-wingers to Death Eaters and Trump to Voldemort that they were "just shitposting" too.

It's in the books

Tolkien's works have timeless themes. You can inject many allegories into them but in the end it's just a fictional history for the fictional languages Tolkien made.

In the LOTR book elves can walk on snow without sinking in it.

If not cavalry are unstoppable.

>>83471923
Not really, if the initial shock smashes the lines and every faggot runs (like Orcs tend to do) it pretty much ends the battle

>>83477771
orcs are known for rape, even Tolkien said that

They could have used the funnel that the gate creates to neutralize the threat of the orc's numbers.

kek you would know of the ladder tactic if you played any total war game. Its the best way to destroy the enemy charge by having constant fire of on them.

>>83471710
then why didnt they try to choke their enemy at the door (ala hodd gates) mr tactical genius?

>>83471098

Because it's illegal by law to kill people.
