who am i gambly
>Who am I gambling?
ftfy
it was a rhetorical question, he knows hes gambling his kingdom and the lives of his people by holing up in Hell's Deep
Why would he make someone named Wormtongue his adviser?
>>68012666
YOU WUR WUNCE A MAN OF ROH-HAN
Good these movies are retarded
didn't he say:
>Who am I Gimli?
>>68013191
no he said:
>Who am I Gromit?
Is the LotR trilogy the ultimate 'Films women will never understand' experience?
>>68013218
ah ok thx
>>68012515
YUH HAR HER KING SAIUR
>>68013220
Not really. The Godfather trilogy is much more in that tone.
>>68012515
>who am I gambling?
No one sire, the poker game is in the other room
Lore fag ask me anything
>>68013291
why didn't the eagles just fly the frodo to mordor?
>>68012515
>sir , you're a officer and a gentleman!
You are the lesser son of greater men
>>68013310
why didn't the allies just fly a plane into Berlin and shoot Hitler?
>MUSTARD THE RHOHIRRIM
What did he mean by this?
>>68013338
orcs didn't have anti air capabilities fagget
send in like 20 eagles all good
>>68013140
I had a lot of trouble wrapping my head around the logistics of this system
>>68013310
1. Too high a risk to be intercepted
2. Too high a risk of the eagles getting corrupted by the ring
>>68013363
one fire gets lit
the people on the next fire light theirs
its not really complicated
>>68013372
Intercepted by who? Wraiths on wings? The eagles seems to do a pretty good job at fucking them up
>>68013355
>orcs didn't have anti air capabilities fagget
>>68013381
Yeah but I mean those dudes have to be constantly there. There didn't really look like any shelter for them to live in. It was at the top of mountains so I find it hard to believe they have a settlement anywhere near each one. How do the guys get relieved? How do they have enough food to live?
>>68013381
>people spend their whole lives sitting on top of freezing mountains waiting to light a fire
>>68013420
the eagles drop food on them
>>68013420
You didn't see the beehive huts right beside the fire?
>>68013403
>The eagles seems to do a pretty good job at fucking them up
Where did you get that idea? The eagles in the movies are quite enormous, but in the books they are much smaller, they are like the size of a horse. And even if they were quite potent against them, it isn't a 100% success rate like, for example, when a human decides to kill a bug by steping on it.
The ring is too big a deal to just bet it on a single push attempt without any strategy.
Whats your favorite lord of the ring quote
Mines this:
>Let me tell you something you already know.The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!
>>68013470
That still leaves a shitload of logistical issues to resolve.
>>68013420
they could easily have a permanent encampment near that spot, with a village/settlement within walking distance
>>68013517
How do they hunt for new food near the top of a mountain? Seems like it would take far too much effort to acquire new food than would be sustainable.
>>68013455
not their whole lives dumbass
dont you have border guards in your country? where i live the border guards serve 3-6 months at a time and they have to live in much harsher conditions than that
>>68013407
They only had those after the horse Nazgul got rekt
>>68013543
how do real life people hunt real life food in the mountains?
retarded shitcunt 2bh
>>68013543
walking distance as in a 4-6 hour walk, which would be comfortably far away from the top of a mountain
also those "mountains" just look like rocky hills more than actual mountains, i doubt the elevation is that serious
>>68013420
>Food
Take shifts and switch with people every few weeks or so. New guys hike up with provisions etc. for their shift.
>>68012666
Maybe he likes worms
>>68013543
Just bring a shit load of bread/cheese and salted/smoked meat with you.
Doesn't he say Gamling? Which is the name of the dude in the room with him. Also Gamling is swedish/norse for "old man"
sometimes i just don't understand tv
i like how this thread is developing
>>68013140
Why did the send a signal fire for aid, when Gandalf could have called Theoden on the phone?
>>68012666
Because he isn't a judgemental cockdick.
>>68013310
1. The Wise knew that their greatest advantage was the element of surprise. Even Sauron, with all his maligned intelligence wouldn't even consider for a moment that they would attempt to destroy the One. Using the Eagles would negate this advantage, and possibly lead to capture.
2. It's not known if the Eagles would do it or not. They are a proud race, and only follow the command of the Far West.
3. It's not known if the Eages even could do it. Sauron has many winged minions, not just the Nazgul, and they would probably be discovered and intercepted if found out. If they did reach Mordor unmolested, they would then have difficulty navigating through the light-impermeable roof of soot and ash that covers the entire sky, and making landing on the mountain unnoticed would be impossible. That risk alone would probably be too much for the Eagles.
4. They had no way to even contact the Eagles, they are marshaled by a divine hand, and do not follow the beck and call of lesser beings.
5. The Eagles themselves could have been seduced by the power of the One, and tried to take it for themselves.
>>68013310
Eagle air services were fully booked at the time.
>>68013958
>phone
>Gandalf
top fucking kek! He exclusively uses messaging apps
so how did the ring work was like +20 strength and agility or some shit
>>68013958
Why did they bother lighting the fires when mt doom was already on fire??
>>68012515
Bane?
>>68012515
a big guy, sire
>>68013338
lmao
>>68013502
Nice one! Mine is:
Pippin: Have we started the fire?
Gandalf: Yes, the fire rises.
Why didn't Sauron just make another ring?
Why didn't mordor just send their flying nazgul to eat the bonfire sentries?
>>68014213
He poured the greater part of his power into the One. He just doesn't have enough juice left.
how did they get pussy on the mountain, were there chicks in those little huts?
>>68014262
>>68013140

Mine is when Merry and Pippin attempt to join the Fellowship and Elrond looks disgusted and says "Uh you don't get to bring friends"
>>68014372
Or send 1 nazgul to fly around and kill all of them
If no man can kill nazgul what happened to all the nazgul? Did ghosts kill them?
>>68014531
What?
When nazguls say they can't die, what they means is that their soul can't leave Middle-Earth because Sauron is holding them back. They are humans souls, no one knows where they are supposed to go, but they do go somewhere that isn't Middle-Earth.
When Eowyn "kills" the Witch King, he doesn't die. His souls return to Mordor, probably in Minas Morgul, and awaits respawning, kinda like your heroes in a warcraft 3 game.
When Sauron was destroyed and thrown into the Void, they probably finally left Middle-Earth in peace.

>HURRR DURRR WHY DON'T I JUST WANDER AROUND ENEMY LINES

They fly bro. Whose gonna stop them? Archers? They'll fly higher
>>68014773
Archers on eagles will fucking butcher flying nazgul m8
>>68014845
If Eagles work for humans why didn't they take the ring to mt doom?
>>68014773
Cannon fire
>>68014631
1. When Eowyn killed the Witch King he was fucking dead.
2. They don't throw Sauron into the void either.
Headcannon the post.
>>68014065
Wondrous item, legendary
Greater invisibility
-1 sanity upon equipping
>>68014876
They don't
>>68014913
Wrong, the post.
Sauron is headed past the Door of Night, with Morgoth, Durin's Bane, Saruman and many others. They all return for the Dagor Dagorath, when Morgoth finally figures out a way to break the Door of Night.
>>68014894
Why didn't the nazgul carry canons?
>>68014894
canons aren't cannon in middle earth
>>68014920
Ok then what's stopping nazgul from killing bonfire sentries?
>>68015031
>i fort a war and spent my whole life writing my fantasy world for this
>>68014971
You're fucking stupid. Go look it up you dumb fuck. Some shit asks Gandalf what happened to Sauron, and they say he'll just become a weak invisible specte incapable of affecting the tangible world in any way ever again. You're such a wiki-warrior it's so fucking obvious.
Here's the excerpt:
If [the Ring] it is destroyed, then he will fall, and his fall will be so low that none can foresee his arising ever again. For he will lose the best part of the strength that was native to him in his beginning, and all that was made or begun with that power will crumble, and he will be maimed for ever, becoming a mere spirit of malice that gnaws itself in the shadows, but cannot again grow or take shape. And so a great evil of this world will be removed.
>>68015031
Nothing. They just have better things to do. In Sauron's mind Gondor and Rohan aren't credible threats to his insurrection. The only reason he even invades so fast is because he's afraid they have the One and are going to use it against him.
>>68015091
>write shitty fantasy war novels where every battle ends with some magic convenient army saving the day
>it's OK i fought in a war guys
>>68015031
The bonfires are mostly irrelevant and went unlit for a very long time. They might have been completely forgotten at that point. Also, the Nazgul have better things to be doing.
How can you fuck up this bad
Why did they build the capital of humans within spitting distance of mordor?
>>68015325
Originally Minas Tirith wasn't the capital, it was just one city of several. All of Sauron's forts around Mordor and along the mountains were originally part of Gondor, and built by them. The idea was they would keep watch over that accursed land forever, and never let Sauron return to power again. Over a long ass time the kingdom weakened and the old posts were abandoned, and that's when the servants of Sauron moved in.
What was Saurons endgame? What would he do when all of his enemies were defeated and he had dominance over middle earth?
YOU'RE A BIG EYE
>>68015408
he just wanted everything to be neat and tidy
http://fair-use.org/j-r-r-tolkien/notes-on-motives-in-the-silmarillion/
Why didn't they just launch a nuke into Mordor?
>>68015473
because then you'd have radioactive lava falling all over the place
>>68013355
They had the Nazgul's you dumb cunt
>>68014372
I know you're just taking the piss, but the point of the books is that the antagonists grew arrogant in their power, and wouldn't have anticipated them even calling for aid in the first place.
