Lurtz is one of my favourites in the whole trilogy. His fight with aragorn, though short, is so memorable for his brutish strength, pinning him with the shield, it’s an awesome sequence.

@NerdoftheRings 10 ай бұрын

It's a truly great fight sequence. Lawrence Makoare is the man!!

@PEPPERS777 10 ай бұрын

Exactly, amazing scene. It also beautifully highlights the power of aragorn. Regardless of the situation or opponent, give him a sword and 3 seconds, and you'll see swift and fluent display of greatness. If i recall correctly, even lurtz had expression of shock on his face when aragorn bursts in with the sword. IDK, it felt like a subtle hint at the potential skill of aragorn. A really good moment. Like great open-ended worldbuilding, leaving you to imagine and speculate more after seeing it.

shortest yet most badass fight in the trilogy.

The Mirror of Galadriel would be a good edition to the collection. I had an idea for a good series for you to cover. "Films/TV shows that took direct influence from Tolkiens work. Eg. Horcrux's in Harry Potter are inspired from the rings of power and 1001 other direct moments inspired by Tolkien. So many shows and films have direct moments taken from Tolkien. It could be a fun project to cover.

@ragnarok6521 10 ай бұрын

@@fingersTitan Everybody is inspired or borrows from each other, it would be to massive a project. Just look at Tolkien, he borrowed/was inspired so heavily by Norse mythology and Norse culture. The origin of Elves are 15 mins from where I live and I tell you, they are not nice like Tolkiens variants ;) Same with names like Dain, that is also known Norse dwarf and Gandalf means "Staff Elf" and Smaug is most likely Fafnir, the list goes on. To much to cover imo, just glad we have all the great inspired stories. Same as Witcher, inspired by European eastern folklore, same goes for Dracula etc.

Back in 2004 I went to the Lord of the Rings exhibit at the Boston Science Museum. They had a life-size model of Lurtz. Pretty scary!

@matthewanderson9754 10 ай бұрын

I think it's important that they depicted him walking shoulders up and back, not hunched over like all the other lesser urkuk that are around him, he truly was a colossus of their breed!

@Dr_Cole 10 ай бұрын

I am so not a collector of movie memorabilia, least of all miniatures of the characters. But this is so bad ass that it is very much making me rethink my stance. What you read about Weta trying to make his stance look like he was moving and ready for the kill… they nailed this. Everything about this miniature screams Lurtz and ready to kill.

@darkenedpsynoid 10 ай бұрын

Lurtz has always been my favorite enemy in LOTR.....but im pretty sure he wasn't in the fellowship of the ring but still,Lurtz left a everlasting memory,also the use of his quill on his thigh rather than the back is just badass and it would feel easier to notch your next shot

I am familiar with it now! I'll check it out. I hope that the community of fans/players is large enough to support live play- which I enjoy more than online (kinda like how chess is more interesting live (for me, anyway). But, I DO live near Seattle, WA (and pass Wizards of the Coast on my commute) so the chances look good. Vis: Live play- I like minuatures a lot, and the craft of it. (To the point where I'm trying a ship in a bottle, and, so far, its just a little, tiny bit more complex than I had estimated! 🤔😐😓😲) Cheers. Cheers!
