Wasnt that guy like a ghost or some sort of non matter entity?

Also I don't think the vest was inpenetrable, it was just light? Maybe I'm wrong

But really why didn't they just put mithril over an eagle and have it carry the ring to the volcano? Or tunnel underneath the earth and place the ring in the lava that lead to the volcano?

How strong is mithril supposed to be in lotr anyway?
Isn't chainmail weak to piercing

in the movies, peter jackson is a hack

the Mithril shirt was supposed to be effectively invincible against mortal weapons
there's a reason Frodo's shirt was about as valuable as the entire Shire and everything in it.

He's talking about Frodo.
>>
>>87352954
Still, conventional chainmail does almost nothing against arrows, spears, etc.
In some cases they make the injury worse.
If it's just extra strong and very light weight, you could probably pierce it still

If it's magically unbreakable or whatever I guess it would still be fine

The stinger tapers to a point thinner than that of the molecules in mithril.

He gets skewered by a cave troll and is alright. I think mithril stops piercing attacks as well as slashing.

Mithril is magic chain mail so it should have stopped the pincer. But shelob is also a magic giant spider, either way it was supposed to hit him in the neck and Jackson is a hack

maille is worn over a padded coat of some kind and was quite capable of stopping arrows or spear thrusts. you have no idea what you're talking about.

Maybe his wiener was sticking out and she shot her poison directly in the dick hole?
>>

hot
>>
>>87354324
An astute theory, my good anon. On that should be pursued further. Was his wiener had at the moment or soft? Was like a docking situation or was Shelob's aim so true she could shoot it up his dick hole without penetration? So many questions...

Screenshot from shadow of mordor, Shelob turns into generic evil lady because talking to a spider is too weird for Americans to handle

How did Shelob sting him with that sting if it isn't actually a sting but a structure spoiders and other insects use to lay their eggs deeper in the soil

Why didn't Sauron destroy Mt. Doom? He had eons to do so with a slave force capable of doing so.
>>
>>87354929
Isn't Mt Doom's lava part of the lithosphere? So by logic couldn't they destroy the ring in any lava on earth?
>>
>>87354736
She and her brood are in the game and she turns into a spider on occasion.

God knows why they did this, though I like to think its how Celebrimbor sees her (which affects Talion) or its elaborate on her end to try and sway Talion instead of eating him.
>>
>>87352514
the tip was small enough to go in between the links.

Or you know, the mithril simply broke, it's not indestructible just very, very durable and light.
>>
>>87353610
Homer was long dead before that bit of the myth got tacked on.
>>
>>87355128
Is Mt doom the only volcano in the whole world?
>>
>>87352514
Its a giant magical spiderdemon

She could probably stab through Legolas' plot armor
>>
>>87355144
>God knows why they did this

Animation department probably went in to a panic trying to figure out how to animate a detailed spider face when they're only used to doing humanoids, and decided that it would cost too much to actually do some work for a change instead of simply inputting performance-capture data
>>
Since when is Shelob not a remnant of the offspring of Ungoliant ?
>>
>>87355344

This. While mithril is incredibly strong against conventional weapons you can't fight magic without magic. Light of Eärendil was more effective against Shelob as Sam and Frodo showed.

he didn't

he isn't seen with it after that

'no'

She's the eldest daughter of ungoliant, who is also not a demon.
>>
>>87353086
>>have the technology to build an invincible shield that is
I though that mithril was incredibly rare; hence why they only made a vest.

Using the same logic, why the hell are we not all driving around in lambos, since we have the technology?
>>
>>87355667
Gandalf has like ten different ones during the movies and they are all different. Loses it at Saruman, in Moria, Witch king etc. Maybe they grow on trees?

Mithril is bulllshit anyway. Even if that cave troll couldn't pierce the vest, that shit still would have caved his little hobbit chest in.
>>
>>87356483
Because you didnt meet the person who owns Lambo and they didnt have the choice to give you unlimited or zero Lambos and chose slightly more than zero when the fate of the world wouldve been guaranteed if they gave you the maximum about of Lambos

>>87356776
Always fucking bothered me. I'm sure they could have written an equally tense scene where he got hit by an orc. They would have had to wash his innards out of the vest after that hit.
>>
>>87353994
They love shitting on the lore. I imagine soon they'll make the ring talk to the user, I know sauron kinda did but I mean it'll have different characteristics for different users. Imagine a sexual frustrated guy and it's a sexy woman voice urging him to do stuff, or a burglar and it's always egging him to steal stuff.

Chain mail is fine against spears and arrows. Medieval mail was usually doubled up and worn with a gambeson and surcoat. It wasn't as good as plate against being pierced but it wasn't terrible.
>>
>>87354181
This is the worst thing about the Extended Editions. Gandalf went toe-to-toe with a Balrog, an evil fire demon and lieutenant of Morgoth, and now in an even stronger form he gets rekt by some undead nonce? It's ridiculous.
