Nah fuck this army I’m gonna go recruit some immortal ghost soldiers instead. Do whatever you want with these I’m out.
That… That right there made me hate the entire trilogy… So we’re slowly overwhelmed, we’re slowly losing and being killed and the situation is so dire and… Oh there is the immortal deux ex machina guys just trampling over the enemy killing them all in a minute aaaaand we’re done!
It was so anti climactic
Agreed, I had the same thoughts with Oppenheimer. They just invent a big scary bomb and that ends the war? What an anti-climatic ending.
Kinda like the war. Island hoping through the Pacific theater for ages, then they just drop two extre spicy bombs and the whole deal is done
It would be more like, they invented the atomic bomb, use it to take Iwo Jima and then the United States goes back to sulking and wondering how the hell they’re going to take the home islands.
In lotr they use the undead to win the battle of pellenor fields but they don’t use it to win the war. It’s a legitimate plot hole.
To be fair the entire army itself was just a distraction so that frodo could destroy the ring. The ghosts weren’t what caused them to win, they just prevented the death of the bait.
Right but, why bother with smoke and mirrors when you have an immortal unbeatable army in the first place.
Even in the book its not really explained why the oathbreakers only help out for one fight; the only difference is in the books they never actually go to Minas Tirith they just help against the corsairs.
Basically, yes.
In the books it was just that they would only answer to Isldur’s Heir. They also scared the Corsairs of Umbar away from their ships, but it was an army of Dunadain (along with a few elves, like Elrond’s sons) that actually ran them off permanently, so they could use the ships to bring some of the Gondorians in the south back north to join the main battle.
Give each guy two spears. Now you have twice the spears and you didn’t even have to find more guys.
Contact me for more tips on defeating dark lords.
Maybe they have plenty of guys but not enough spears? 6000 spearheads is a lot of work for 3 days. Ask any blacksmith!
The Dark Lord summoned 1000 hot naked succubus and my men’s about to succumb to the lure, how do i proceed?
What would you do if you had 6000 spears and your high maintenance royal friend says it’s one third of what he hoped for?
Distribute copies of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue along with each additional spear.
This is a good sword.
It’s a piece of shit, Aragorn, and you know it. Stop gaslighting people.
I mean…the only way you could get more spears in less time is if you made some kind of pact with an army of undead!
Théoden: “What do you expect of me? Run down to some cave and conjure up an undead army?”
Aragorn: brb
