Newish BotFA Elf Battle+Negotiation images/GIFs [Potential spoilers] Can't Post

Presumably from the EE's extras, looks exciting so I thought to share this beyond the Thranduil Appreciation thread frequenters

ETA: Observations
1) Thranduil's army is looking awesome! And Thranduil's entering battle like a champ! He's not even behind any point or vanguard, right out there leading the charge. Looks like he's a proponent of walking the talk!SmileHeart
2) The company's looking out... might be them watching the action rather my assumption of them facing Thranduil and Bard there to negotiate

Source clicky for the actual GIFs of these images and a few more

Cool! [In reply to] Can't Post

Thanks, Lurker!

Squeee! I can't wait to see this movie! Thranduil mowing down orcs like they're nothing, elves jumping off ledges into battle, #majestic (if not somewhat crazy) dwarf kings! It's so exciting!

But even despite all of that^, the one thing I really want to know is...What in Middle Earth are they doing here?Shocked Almost looks like the starts of a Gangnam Style dance-off! LaughTongue

I'd say. . . [In reply to] Can't Post

. . . That's the moment Dain arrives. Between Bards question and Thorins answer, a horn sounds, Dain appears, Thorin has confidence to answer "I will have war!"

The first thing I thought of [In reply to] Can't Post

was Monty Python, rather than Gangnam style Wink

LOVE the look on LP's face though! Priceless reaction from all three (had me in stitches) lol...Sly

Tongue I'm sure that's what inspired Eruvandi to name Gangnam as the style. But yes, that look on LP's face is just precious.

You beat me to it! About Luke, though, [In reply to] Can't Post

this is new, to see him in "horsey action": until now we have seen him only in "bargey action" or "footy action"...! Does that mean we'll see him now on a horse??? Perhaps when the three of them (featured here in plain clothes...) go together towards Thorin up there to ask him "peace or war?"... Like in ROTK the group going on horses to the Black Gate and calling forth Sauron, and then being met by Mouth of Sauron? What do you think?

Well, that empire article I linked to [In reply to] Can't Post

suggests that, since it does say that Thranduil was on his war-moose. So I would imagine Bard was also mounted. Smile

Is Gandalf too (mounted as well of course) supposed then to be part of this "official delegation", as their trio fun video suggests? Did I mis any specific info about that?...Blush

It must be a reassuring thing to know your King charges into battle side by side and not cowering at the back of the lines *so brave*. They'd better have their King's back Evil

Nice find with the gif's Lurker and thanks for opening a new thread (since I overlooked it in the TA Blush).

Ah only 7 more weeks until BoFA is released. I can't wait to see the 'game changer' in action Heart

And while I'm at it, I might as well go through some more BOFA material (warning potential spoilers)

to the kind of MAJOR SPOILERS I'm so hungry for, having no way to access the real thing in the foreseeable future... Unsure unless some kind of miracle happens and makes it possible at the right time, in December!...Cool

So, loads of thanks to you for the link...

Very happy to provide this new BOFA material to you, glad I could be of help to someone Smile

And I know what you mean about absorbing every single crumb there is until the new trailer comes out at least. You could almost make it into a profession for there is so much new material since the last couple of days.
