I've always appreciated how the movies made the orcs feel like a genuine army like Rohan and Gondor. Like, with leaders, ranks, and such. Idk, it makes them feel like less of just one hive mind unit like in the books, and more like a bunch of characters. I just think that's neat.

Yeah, the worldbuilding is 2nd to none. All the details bring it to life. When I think about how we could have had that level of love and care in the Hobbit franchise before they axed Guillermo...

@@holocaustguy1007 Oh hey, I never saw this reply. While you're 100% right, that's not exactly what I was saying. More so that the orcs in the books tended to have each army being portrayed character-wise by one orc. Grishnakh is a great example of that. Like the one character spoke for the vast majority of the army. For the record, this was by no means a complaint or criticism of the books, especially since a lot of this can be attributed to the movies providing more visual differences, it's just a neat difference that I noticed.

I remember that the firs time we went to watched ROTK with my friends the day it came out, I stayed for the credits specifically to check is anyone named "Gothmog" would be in the credit, since I really, really wanted to believe that this orc was Gothmog. I would talk about it to my friends of the D&D school club all the time, and the first time we had official confirmation that this orc general was indeed Gothmog was when the official Warhammer-like LOTR game made it to ROTK, and the first figurine of this character came out (on his warg at first, but later they made a version in which he's on foot) my friends couldn't believe that my weird crush on this orc general wasn't just a fever dream, and that his official name was Gothmog. Good times. Then of course ROTK extended edition came out, with more scenes of him, and behind the scenes footage in which they clarify that Lawrence Makoare's other chara was named Gothmog. What a glorious day that was,...

Short biography of Gothmog. Gothmog was born into a poor family of orc peasants. He was sent to the Mordor military school at a very young age because his parents hoped for a better future for him and themselves too since they were struggling to pay the mortgage due to Sauron's unstable monetary policies. In the beginning he was often bullied for his facial deformity but his warm and faithful character soon captivated and softened the hearts of others and he became one of the most beloved students at the school. He was a bright student and went throught the academy without any problems. His talents were not left unnoticed by his superiors and as soon as he reached adulthood, he was sent to serve as an assistant captain to one of the ships in the fleet of the corsairs of Umbar. His attentivenes and humorous nature combined with witts soon became greatly appreciated by his peers on the ship and his rise to stardom could begin. Eventually he became a captain and after completing several raids with the corsairs, he returned to his homeland with riches and fame. He helped his parents to buy a new house in the prestigious and vibrant suburb of Barad Dûr while he himself settled in one of the mansions for high ranked military personell in Minas Morgul. He was promoted to a captain of the Witch King's personal guard and after several years of faithful service he was promoted to a field marshall of the army of Mordor. He wrote several books for children and his own autobiography. In his books he often dealt with themes of bullying, gaining respect and making friendship - his own personal struggles and therefore topics close to his heart. He died at the age of 55 during a failed siege of Minas Tirith. He will always be remembered for his funny and witty comments and jokes just as well as his bravery. We will always remember that moment, when, during a bombardment, he commanded his soldiers not to move, while he himself stepped aside in the last moment when a huge block of a wall was falling on him and those around. A simple but funny joke he pulled off on his peers, which was typical for him. Sadly he died the same day and left a wife and three small children behind. They were all killed during the raids of Minas Morgul. We will remember.

[@finnericson4392]

Actually it's a popular myth that archers would have someone telling them when to nock, draw and loose. Someone might tell the archers as a group where to move to I guess, or maybe to STOP firing to conserve arrows or to avoid friendly fire, but really the volleys U see in movies weren't even a thing. If the enemy was in range then archers would pretty much be firing at will, not in unison like it's usually depicted. If U think about it, you'd actually want your arrows released in as random and staggered a way as possible, cos then your enemy can't predict when or where the arrows are going to hit. If you hear an enemy commander yelling out "nock/draw!" and you see a whole group of archers drawing their bows back n firing at the same time, repeatedly in a pattern, then you KNOW when to shield yourself. Also the thing where they show all the archers drawing their bow and holding it for like ten years before firing 😂 it just makes no sense at all, it takes a fair amount of strength to pull back a bow and holding it before shooting just takes up valuable energy for the archers and serves no purpose. One thing they would do would be to have the archers in the front ranks firing basically straight on (actually picking out and aiming for a particular enemy target if they were in range to do so), while the archers further back would fire at a higher angle - that way if you're getting fired at, you've got no way of knowing when an arrow is coming straight at you, and you can't shield yourself from the front AND above at the same time

[@Mr.Reality]

​@@finnericson4392 Best tactic is to make all the archers shoot in like a 50 degree angle (Side ways). So the arrows will hit them from the side. So even when protecting the front/top you they would still get hit. (unless they were doing like a roman testudo).

[@tuberman7371]

@@ButchersNailsEnjoyer I do agree with that but still if they have been fighting the orcs for a long time then shouldn't their ranks be filled with veterans who can fight really well and lead the others and put up more of a fight than Peter Jackson portrayed because I would of really liked to see the siege of minas tirith go for a longer time and see it on like the way Tolkien portrayed which was very good

[@ButchersNailsEnjoyer]

tuber man I’m pretty sure most of the seasoned veterans were at Osgaliath and honestly defending Minis Tirith was a hopeless cause because they were out numbered and boxed in but yeah i also don’t like that in most shots you always see Gondor soldiers dying rather than killing

[@tuberman7371]

@@ButchersNailsEnjoyer I do agree with you but do remember the soldiers of minas tirith saw the beacons being lit so they knew that rohan was coming to help them so that would have given them more reason to fight like they did at the battle of the black gate where they were shown to be excellent soldiers because they had a cause to fight for to give frodo and Sam a chance to destroy the ring in the siege of minas tirith the same applies but their cause was different they had to hold out until rohan arrived this would of motivated them but still the sheer number of orcs was the biggest factor to their defeat

I think he's heating flashbacks of a dark time . Since of course he did remember what balrogs were . Grond was actually the name of Morgoths mace in the first age . ( if you don't know alot of the silmarillion , if you thought sauron was scary ,sauron served Morgoth. The first dark lord of middle earth . Thousands of years ago . His mace was powerful enough to make craters in the ground when he attempted to smash someone with it . As you see how powerful this battering ram is . If only someone can make a tv series of the first age after they're done with the new tv show going on with the second age . I want to see morgoth on screen . FYI Dragons and orcs and trolls amd balrogs were all made by Morgoth . Think about that and of course the processes on how he did all of that . Durins Bane (aka the Balrog named in Moria ) was actually in the first age but was one of the balrogs that managed to hide for the next thousands and thousands of years .
