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! 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

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? Almost looks like the starts of a Gangnam Style dance-off!

. . . 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!"

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! Anyway, here's the viddie of it. Looks like rehearsal of this scene. Quite a laugh though short. The edit gives new meaning to "#majestic (if not somewhat crazy) dwarf kings!"

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.

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?

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

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?...

no mention of Gandalf among the delegation in said media report... but well, the pics here are proof he is, imo and that's good enough for me

Ah only 7 more weeks until BoFA is released. I can't wait to see the 'game changer' in action can't wait! And that PJ talk about "We’re developing more story with the elves and with Gandalf” better not be just mouthing stuff like the almost non-existent father and son theme we kept hearing from cast and crew for DOS.

to the kind of MAJOR SPOILERS I'm so hungry for, having no way to access the real thing in the foreseeable future... unless some kind of miracle happens and makes it possible at the right time, in December!... In the meantime, I absorb avidly all the crumbs I can get... and this is a big one! My heart is still beating hard as I write this. So, loads of thanks to you for the link...

The fake horn sound was a little pathetic, LOL, but I bet that's supposed to be Dain announcing his arrival, thus the horsey action.

Very happy to provide this new BOFA material to you, glad I could be of help to someone 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.
If your ears aren't pointy, you're doing it wrong.
