Beside the fact that Galadriel is actually married at the this point, though they are making it seem that Galadriel's husband is maybe dead. Which would be another twist.

Season finale next week. Curious about how they do things with Celebrimbor.
Not sure but it will probably be Galadriel once again thinking about herself only and the ring she desires rides back to join the fight. Only to get it back while letting Sauron get the nine and him leaving with all the orcs as Adar dying.
Assuming they stick to lore since we know she has the ring in the future and Sauron got the nine.

only thing I wished was that elrond slipped a little tongue and gave a big ol' french kiss to his future mother in law

The guys using the tool to yank apart the wall, were there for like an hour pulling apart the wall. It was maybe 5 orcs the entire time and the elves never shot at them once they got to the wall. And seeing as you have these massive trebuchets that will literally collapse the side of a mountain, why not just aim them at the wall instead of having 5 guys use some dumb tool that barely work that takes an hour to do.
Because, reasons

The Dunedain crafted the blade which Merry used to stab the Witch King. And because it was crafted long ago, it was specifically made to inflict injury upon such dark & magical forces.
A normal blade would have had little if any effect.
But by distracting the Witch King it allowed Eowyn an opening for her fatal shot.
One of the few scenes lifted directly from the books.

This show is so bad

Why can the orcs fight in the daylight? Wasn’t that a huge point of the season 1 plot?

The difference between the two pictures is explained by the events of the show, which you self admittedly don’t watch.
This is like making fun of the movies for being inconsistent because Gandalf’s robe switches from grey to white.

I know exactly how it happened in the books and movie.
As I said before, in the movie the blade he uses is not explained. It is not exactly the same. (they are not even seen after movie 1)
And that blade does more than just injure the Witch King. It allows him to be killed. Elowyn's strike would have done nothing without it. It was not just a distraction in the books. In the movie, yes.

I’m laughing at the cope. The story, the characters, the CG is all manner of trash. And worse of all, it strays so far from the lore as to make it unrecognizable.
But have at it. Just glad i didn’t pay for any of it.

“No man born of women can defeat the Witch King”
I think you’re overlooking a key element of the story.
*This, from Tolkien, published in the 1955. .

I don't even know what you are arguing about. What me and the pervious poster were addressing have nothing to do with your comments.
To be clear I never once stated Eowyn did not kill the Witch King. She finishes him off in both the movie and book.
But it is a fact that the barrow-down blades were not in the return of the king movie. (or at the least were not explained at all).

Aragorn randomly found &gave the Hobbits blades when they were at Weathertop.
I was speaking about the books. The source material. But because Peter Jackson’s movie skipped over Tom & barrow downs, movie-only watchers got an abbreviated version.
Eowyn, being not a man, is fulfilling a prophecy regarding the W-K. Was it to the letter because she wasn’t a man? OR… did the prophecy get super lucky in predicting the exact series of events that allowed her to deal the death blow.
Those who rely just on the screen versions of these stories are missing out. And those who then watch RoP have even less of a clue of the characters & events.

Galadriel, who wasn't in to her uncle, denied Feanor a tress of her hair three times, she wouldn't even give him a lock. It pissed Feanor off. Afterwards Feanor goes and makes the Simirils capturing the light of the two trees and not Galadriels golden hair like he wanted and Melkor/Morgoth starts a war over them. All of this crap could almost trace back to Galadriel not being into a family member. So yes, for Galadriel character especially, this is too far.

So why are you trying to keep explaining to him something he already knows
Posted on 9/30/24 at 9:11 am to iwyLSUiwy
Because from the comments, he doesn’t.
Reread if you’re still confused. No need for me to explain further.

All he said was the significance of the blades was not addressed in the films. You’re the one with reading comprehension problems. You’re also not doing that whole “I have a life” claim any favors.
