Favorite Deaths? Can't Post

The Body Count is Astronomical even just in Goblin Town
but after watching these Films Repeated like many of you.

One?.. Bom loves a lot.

...Bard's kids in Dale are in Danger,
They scream to "DA",
he sees them...

Jumps on an overturned Cart..racing down a fairly steep Street
& With his Forward motion, gets Flung into the AIR &
STABS that ugly Troll deep into his Black Heart.

YOW! WOWIE, "Badassery & it's BEST"!

Maybe jus' post one of your Favorites?
& LET people here, keep this FUN & Light
when Talking about grizzly, incidental DEATH?

Smaug. [In reply to] Can't Post

He was a drama queen in every frame, and all that melodramatic twisting and writhing after he was shot was like a cross between an operatic diva and a B-movie blackhat cowboy.

Would you say DWALIN did the Most? [In reply to] Can't Post

In GoblinTown,
.. he NAILED a LOT just with the Railing
SMART MOVE...@ LEAST 30 there.

IMPOSSIBLE to count?
That was likely their LARGEST Body Count in the whole TRILOGY..
WHAT a TEAM effort! &
Bilbo missed the Whole THINGIE...

Gandalf blew away maybe 50 just with his BLAST from his STAFF
which was about KICKASS as we have ever seen Gandalf do.

Major KUDOS go...to Thrandy with his MooseRIDE!

MUST have decapitated @least 8 in the Antlers...
Quite an effective weapon...such a Creative way to
BLAST BEASTIES...

How do they split up teamwork kills? [In reply to] Can't Post

Like when they cut the ropes in Goblin Town, or the wooden pole-lance there?

I'm Not 100% Sure [In reply to] Can't Post

It seems different for each one, so I'm not 100% those numbers are perfect, but they give a rough idea. For example, in the post charge, they only give kills to Dwalin, but for "Cut the Ropes" they give 23 kills each to Thorin, Ori, and Dori (23 goblins are killed, so each is credited with 23 kills, instead of dividing the 23 kills among the 3 of them, which would be 7.67 each instead).

Bilbo's Death TOTAL? [In reply to] Can't Post

Okay he sorta Kills the First Orc he encounters, BUT
they both Fall & Gollum finishes Him off on his Island.

Then, He does kill the One who is about to Kill Thorin
in "Into the Frying Pan" sequence, as well as a ..WARG.

Then, In Mirkwood, Kills @least a couple of Spiders & that
Centipede-Thingie.

LONG.. break, but with some Rocks {Like in the Book} knocks
OUT a few Orcs @ Ravenhill...

But in the Main Battle?
ZERO. Or SSOoo...Bomby THINKS?

LOL Bomby [In reply to] Can't Post

The title of your post had me having one other those "eye-rolling-heavy-sigh-what-is-up-with-people-momentsShocked. Why, I was almost having a perverse and compulsive urge to construct another thoughtful dissertation on the "Hair of Middle Earth - A Realistic Look at Mythological Manes in Battle Conditions". Cool



Still - and possibly it is a highly evolved dwarven skill - in no way has ample pilosity ever affected our dwarven king's FEROCITY in BATTLECool:




So, favorite deaths? Why, Thorin is a joy to watch, many favorite moments - including slicing and dicing his way through the goblin tunnels, and in BOFA quite like watching him duck, shove an orc down, and decapitate the unfortunate creature.HeartHeartHeart

And the way Thorin wields a broken sword is a thing of beauty, IMO.

We also have the powerhouse Dwalin, wielding his axe? more like a sledgehammer. And I love that little moment with Bilbo in the river, when everyone is trapped at the bridge, and Bilbo is hanging onto a barrel and sticks Sting into an orc and saves Nori.

Also IMO weighing in with more sheer beauty to watch - the elegant and deadly Thranduil, like silver death in BOFA, leaving bodies of orcs piled around in his wake.HeartHeartHeart

What a great topicHeart! Never realized how much I was enjoying the slaughter, and supposedly re the comment from WETA re the EE "just you wait" - it seems there will be so much more goodness in the form of flying orc heads to be had!TongueTongueTongue

You KNOW..if you are CAST as an ORC..? [In reply to] Can't Post

You are Gunna DIE...
The only question is HOW?

Bom's sure some
died many times...

Recycled ORCS..just to keep
"The Budget" down..?

Maybe, just MAYBE
we will get an "Official BODY COUNT"
in the Commentaires
this November...

Someone on the STAFF must be keeping a "Running Total"

THAT piece of
TRIVIA? would make a NICE Holiday Gift from PJ&CO.for FANS {like Bomby} that are into
THAT? Sorta of
THINGIE as long as it's done

Tastefully..

HERE is one Random Incident, that has kinda got Skipped over? [In reply to] Can't Post

There WAS, this Huge Troll storming up
some ramp into The City of Dale?
Archers shoot him in the Head...
&
Then he falls BACK
smashing about 50 or more orcs that ARE just behind him...

Those ORCS had NO Plan? for that to happen.

Which makes Bomby wonder..just what IZZz.. the relationship
between Trolls & Orcs?

Are the Trolls their Slaves?
OR
Are they just there just... to do the Heavy lifting?

How do you teach a Troll to do anything?

Some become kinda like the Oliphants, as a Ride? like a Tall Tank.
{The HARADRIM had it Easy..If you have enough HUGE peanuts
deep down in Near HARAD}

The One's with Catapults on their shoulders were AWESOME!
but this begs the QUESTION?

WHO is in charge?..the Moria Trolls,
... or some ORC Captain running the Catapult?

Do they have a common language? Do they eat together?

WAS there one TROLL
to Rule them ALL?

Crazy

When we consider the chains on the Cave-troll in Moria then that is probably a good guess.

Some trolls were smart enough to be able to learn common (Westron) so why not Orkish? The Olog-hai were able to use the Black Speech of Mordor, but they were also the most intelligent amd crafty breed of troll.

You mean "favorite death scene?" [In reply to] Can't Post

Hm, much to choose from ... I'm going with the Master of Lake-town - *splat!* Honorable mention goes to the Orc that Galadriel blasted with her ring. As for Goblin-town, my favorite scene is when Gandalf drops a boulder & rolls over a few, though it's kind of hard to see them.

Dwalin is certainly a bad-ass warrior, I imagine he got at least 50 of those Goblin mercenaries, but what about Kili? When he was going on his "Kili-ing spree" to avenge his brother? I counted about 6, how many did anyone else count?
