About THOSE "Flash POTS"? Can't Post

IN an attempt to Distract Smaug
Thorin directs Balin, Ori, & Dori ( I Think)
to quickly produce EXPLOSIVES?

Likely these were used to Blast open
Their VAST Veins of Gold
in their Looong History of production
...of the Largest Treasury of Gold...
EVER written about?..

Will they use THEM again in Battle?
..............................................

1. Maybe with Much BIGGER ONEzz by Catapult?

2. Maybe just like Hand grenades?

3. Maybe rolled down the Mountainsides?
....................................................

Any Thoughtzzz on THAT..?
(They jus' didn't Carve out the Caverns of Erebor or the Halls of Moria with Pick Axes? or DID.. they?)

Hmmm...I can't picture it [In reply to] Can't Post

Based on the teaser trailer alone, it looks like it will be pretty bright outside during Botfa, so even if they did use the flash pots, the audience wouldn't be able to see the flash, and neither would the bad guys. It just wouldn't have as much of a visual effect as they did deep withing the dark depths of Erebor.

I'm not sure I'd want them to use the flash pots again anyway. IMO, Botfa needs to mostly be hand-to-hand combat to create the kind of gritty, personal, dramatic intensity that PJ's been teasing.

"Home is behind the world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow to the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight.

Mist and shadow
Cloud and shade
All shall fade
All shall fade"

My ignorance made me skip that brilliant thought [In reply to] Can't Post

That the flashes were to open the rock, and yes Ii think they will use it in the battle

The flagon with the dragon has the brew that is true

The devices are already established. Might as well use them.

That's perhaps a bit too far out in left field, Bomby. If the grenades/bombs get used at all it will probably be against the Orcs, not like a Power Rangers special effect.

Never, Ever seen any Power Rangers?..SOoo how would I know? [In reply to] Can't Post

Just trying to figure out HOW
ORI could be a Real Hero with his SlingSHOT?

There needs to be someway
ORI has his Hero Moment?

He might be the Least effective
with a sword...AND
Because Bomby Cares about him...
Was Wondering HOW he could make IT
Through this Battle
without getting Nailed..?

Maybe it's Bombyzz "IN-Ner Dori" that wantzz.. to protect ..., OUR Baby Geek Dwarve?

(*snicker* *snicker*) Never take Bomby THAT Seriously...

Thorin & Co. could have set up a position for Ori to launch the fire-pots at the top of the wall that they constructed at the Front Gate. The Valar know that they could use some artillary. He could use his slingshot for personal defense against any Orc who tries to overrun his position.

IMO [In reply to] Can't Post

We're long overdue for some characters to become heroes without raising a sword, and BOTFA is hopefully the part of the story in which that will happen.
