Whats their endgame?
Also /tolkien/ General
>>70553476
Survive Sauron's conquest relatively unscathed, industrialize, be privileged among men.
More importantly why were they never used in the 3rd movie? those 1.2 seconds of minas tirith dont count!
They worship Sauron as a god
Their endgame is to do whatever their god tells them
>>70553476
so when the ground is caving in to literal hell above the orks and shit, these guys get saved like the other men with aragorn knocking on the gates, right? Or what? the fuck?
>>70553615
>More importantly why were they never used in the 3rd movie?
They were fighting on the other end of the middleearth. Presumably somewhere in Rhovanion and Esgaroth where the hobbit took place.
>you may live long enough to see a Silmarillion adaptation
>>70553674
>these guys get saved like the other men with aragorn knocking on the gates, right?
nope
>>70553476
get the white mans land and woman cause the east is shit just like their decedents are doing today
>>70553792
the fuck? how does that ground cave in shit work then? magic, huh?....
>>70553770
It'll be shit
>>70553882
China and Japan is good though
Rune is Russia
>>70553476
whatever sauron promised them
>power
>land
>not being invaded by orcs
>not dying
>>70553901
Yes, magic. It's fantasy you autistic microcephal.
They were protected by white magic aura of Gandalf and his patron Valar or someshit. Fuck you dumb ass.
These guys looked healthy and happy, what's the worst that could happen to middle earth if sauron took over
>>70553476

>The Sillmarillion Part 1 of 3: An IMAX 3D Experience Directed by Peter Jackson
>>70553770
How could it ever happen? Saul Zaentz doesn't have the rights and Chris hates everything.
>>70553921
Hmmm. No.
>>70555294
I could see this happening in 10-15 years. It's like the last thing he does as a big film maker and perfectly combines cgi and practical. Assuming Christopher Tolkien dies and his successor sells the rights or whatever....I believe he will learn from his mistakes on the hobbit
>>70553770
They would fuck it up, the only way it could work is by getting Peter Jackson as far away from it as possible, making it an anthology series with an incredibly high budget an finding good directors for each stories everything tied up with
>muh silmarils
>muh oath
>muhrgot
plot
>>70555435
>I believe he will learn from his mistakes on the hobbit
Jackson literally did nothing wrong. He was handed the project after that hack Del Toro resigned and he didn't have enough time to prepare everything like he did in LOTR. He is probably the only reason why the movie wasn't a complete disaster.
>>70555602
I never really accused him of anything wrong, but he clearly made some mistakes.Obviously a lot of it was the studio and writers, but he's not void of all blame.
>>70555602
>movie wasn't a complete disaster.
But it was.
And Hackson is responsible for it.
No matter what reason and who to blame he was responsible, he directed that unbearable shit called The battle of five armies.
>>70555857
>But it was.
From a fan's perspective, maybe. But common audience enjoyed it, at least in part. And the jews behind it can count the money thanks to Jackson, because if he didn't step up and whipped it into shape, the whole thing would just crash.
>No matter what reason and who to blame
You sound like a complete retard.
>>70555034
i always imagined them as persians / central asia guess thats still allah
btw what rhun qt to cast for inevitable rhun series? i want to rub eyebrows with her
>>70553476
As I understand it, they fought the men in the East more.
There was a series of bloody battles, culminating in a battle at Erebor where one of the dwarves from the hobbit is slain.
It's a pretty cool story, I just can't remember all the details.
>>70553476
Morgoth is the only God and Sauron is his prophet.
They were following their religion.
>>70557263
>>70553476
Sauron controlling Middle Earth
They were one of the kingdoms of men that ended up being corrupted by a ring
>>70557457
but living in an orc world instead of defending one ruled by humans, are there even orc qt g-girls?
>>70553770
>He want to see modern and progressive Silmarillion movie.
>>70555857
>But it was
First two movies was good, with perfect adventure and travel atmosphere+ great Rhudaur scene.
>>70554464
LOL

I don't think they care about such things.
>>70553615
>>70553711
>Idiots who do not pay attention.
The Easterlings fought in Minas Tirith both in the book and the movie,
In the movie you can see them in the breach of the Minas Tirith Gates charging along with orcs.
>>70557687
of course they do, theyre human
Yeah i can see the leaders/ a large group being completely corrupted but a whole faction?
>>70557713
What part of "those 1.2 seconds of minas tirith dont count!" did you not understand?
>>70553770
Pls no, they would fuck it up
Lotr movies is literally a miracle
I cringe and wheep over how it could have ended up like the hobbit trilogy
>>70557606
underrated post.
Hobbit was lacking. Silmarillion will be poisonous to Tolkien's legacy, it's just too out of step with [CURRENT YEAR].
>>70553770

You can even see Hackson's transformation just from the behind the scenes footage of both trilogies. In LotR he was serious and focused. In the Hobbit he just looks like a bumbling idiot who is more worried about making vlogs than preparing the movies.
The bulk of the Easterling forces were being held off at Dale and the Lonely Mountain by a conglomerate of dwarves and men. The dwarves drove them off, at great cost.
Glad I can finally contribute something.
>>70558199
And also they guarded Gondor-Rohan border.
>>70557674
>read silmarillion
>had tolkien getaway open on the side
>felt like I was doing research instead
Its still pretty fucking amazing though. How far did you get? The whole creation of the world thing at first can be a bit odd, but anything with Fëanor or Hurin is spectacular.
>>70558199
when will there be tales of middle earth mini series. god even animated would be cool
>>70557735
humans follow the leader
>>70557713
>spend his personal time for fltering miliseconds of blured scenes
Jesus Christ you are that pathetic. End your useless life, nerdard.
Also it was stated in the books that they were fighting with descendants of Bard and his people
>>70555974
No its you are retarded if you don't know what is responsibility in work. And of course you don't cuz you r pathetic manchild sitting on mothers neck.
>>70557140
kazakh? what movie?
>>70553770
>Cameron finishes his Avatar universe
>Announces this as his next project
>>70555294
>>70553770
Next to impossible. You have to keep in mind Hobbit movies got made thanks to some kind of legal loophole regarding license extension or something because Tolkien Estate did NOT want to see them made. That pretty much put killed any future deals.
>>70557713
What do you think it's like to be a human soldier of Sauron serving alongside orcs?
>>70560455
>>70560455
like Praetorian Guard working alongside auxilleries from shittest part of the empire
>>70557140
post more easterling qts anon
Silmarillion TV series
that sounds better?
>>70553770
The Tolkien Estate owns the rights so no, you won't.
>>70553770
Disney would be the only studio that could do it, and only if they put their top people and some of the top marvel people on it
>>70560425
Silmarillion would make for an awful film anyway. The book is often incredibly boring and reads like a tedious history lesson. It covers way too many thousands of years and so many people it's nigh impossible to make any sort of sensible film out of.
>>70560425
Umm doesn't matter after 50yrs it's up for grabs anyone can legally make a simmilaron adaptation
>>70553476
They thought Sauron was the one true god. They're basically Muslims who want to bring about the apocalypse and go to paradise.
>>70561306
You mean fundamentalist American Protestants, anon.
>>70561647
Too few for a comparison. Easterling are my favorite faction but unfortunately they are Muslims of middle earth.... At least not as much as Haradrim.
>>70557735
This is where I think lotr is childish whole groups can't be evil they were probably promised more land or something.
>>70557927
You're exagerating desu lotr was pretty good but thats it.
>>70562089
i think they meant it was a miracle to been adapted properly
look good and job to the white heroes, forever.
>>70561647
All Abrahamic religions want the apocalypse and paradise.
>>70553476
Unless it's just being gunfodder I don't think they've even got one. They're not like the Corsairs or Black Numenoreans, who nurture some shagged-out ancient grudge.
:^)
>>70562514
How is it possible to have such shitty CGI?
>>70553983
Just because it's magic doesn't mean it's not stupid.
Everyone has missed the point
tolkien wrote fairytales, evil people do evil things because they are evil. Thats it
>>70561229
>>70555320
>>70560425
Chris is in his 90s and the Tolkien Estate is running out of napkin doodles to publish as books. Selling out for more movies is the practical thing to do for these dead author estates to acquire more revenue, just look at Dr. Seuss
>>70553476
their motivation is politics. everyone's motivation is politics, even (especially) the orcs. the movies handwaved a lot of this having them made like some sort of golems and having tertiary factions just grunt and groan with the entirety of their screentime.
the 'corruption' of sauron/melkor isn't just some bullshit magic spell. it's the application of force and other resources to make people do what you want.
the reason sauron's dudes do what sauron wants is circumstances. their circumstances just continue to lead to that as far as you can imagine until they forget what it's like to hope for something else.
