 Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2003 2:18 pm Post subject: ROTK - Spoilers |
 |
|
WARNING - HERE THERE BE SPOILERS! SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW ROTK MIGHT BE DON'T READ!!!
Saw a bit on TORN.NET yesterday quoting an article in which it said (about ROTK) "The plot will have weddings, coronations, ambushes, suicides, betrayal, but also the biggest battle of the history of cinema: 200,000 orcs in Pelennor field!"
OK, not too many surprises there, but I can't figure the 'suicide.'
Who d'ya think? Saruman, Grima? |

Denethor as the suicide, perhaps?
Were there really 200,000 evil meanies at Pelennor? I'd look it up in Fonstad's book, but I'm at work (argh; anybody else care to check?). I thought there were only a few thousand (3,000 or so) Roharrim calvary, and slightly more Gondorian infantry and Swan Knights (10,000 total, maybe?). Which would make the good guys gruesomely outnumbered.
Of course, this *is* the movies, so the bigger the better. I'm so looking forward to that battle! |

I'd say crispy fried Denethor is the likely suicide victim. If the whole funeral pyre scene is included in the movie, it should be an on the edge of your seat type of scene. How many more days until ROTK is released?  I'm hopping with anticipation to see it.

I'm thinking Pelennor is going to be the big battle for this movie, and as for Morannon (spoiler space)
Supposedly Morannon is mainly Aragorn and Sauron fighting, and Aragorn getting his manly and courageous butt kicked until the ring is destroyed. |

 Ba Ha Ha!! Yeah, that's probably it. You know, I forgot all about him there for a moment.

As per KF: Good Guys = 11,250; Bad Guys = minimum 45,000 but, yeah, like you said -- it's the movies...
I think it will be awesome. |

Volunteers to take care of beaten and hurt Aragorn? I gladly would ... 
If spoilers are to be believed, this movie will blow us all away ... but I am still waiting for TTT extended edition ... shall console myself with my TTT standard "pirate" vcd (finally one advantage of living at the end of the world is PIRACY)   |

The suicide must be Denethor, if PJ is to hold at all to the book. A sad event, but canon.
It will be interesting to see what PJ changes in ROTK, as he did in not so subtle ways in TTT, changing details of plot to make *his* story move forward.
Looking forward to Eowyn getting to fight at last. |

Thanks to Mary on the LOTR_Adult_Fiction list for these links.
