I hate that scene [In reply to] Can't Post

Since Gandalf is my favorite character, I've always disliked that scene. They should have made it like it was in the book, with the Witch-King flying off to fight the Rohan soldiers before any fighting between him nd Gandalf started. In fact, I always leave the room at that scene even when I saw it when it was back in theaters. I think another reason they did it was to make the odds against good seem even more hopeless, but I still think that they should not have done that scene like that.

A continuing vexation over the seeming lack of reverance shown by Galadriel to Gandalf, despite her knowledge of what he is and her high esteem of him. I hope they will rectify this in the coming films. AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Feb 6 2013, 10:23pm

                            I'm not sure how they could portray this. Kassandros Send a private message to Kassandros Feb 7 2013, 5:07pm
                                I wouldn't expect them to portray this scene. They can't. They COULD AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Feb 7 2013, 5:18pm

                                        A LOT of people thought so. Problematically, the people who lacked the prior knowledge to know better. AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Feb 7 2013, 9:54pm
