Wither The Moth's Deployment?
|
Can't Post
|
|
No one can dispute the Moth's singular importance as the saviour of the day, at least where Gandalf is concerned in the ME movies. Yes, the Eagles are the muscle, but how would they know where to bring the brawn if not for the stalwart Moth? We've seen how in LotR, the Moth quietly saved Gandalf from his imprisonment atop Orthanc by literally bringing an Eagle in, and displaying great sense of timing by telling Gandalf when to jump Then the Moth goes on to save the host at the Morannon single-handedly (antennaly?) by bringing a flock of Eagles, even considerately notifying Gandalf in that discrete unassuming way. Who knows what dangers the Moth risked to complete these insane missions of Gandalf with such quiet dignity? TH shows us the relationship between Gandalf and the Moth goes back a ways. The Moth didn't brag about saving the behinds of Gandalf and the Company from Azog's rampage. So where do you think the Moth will flap in to save Gandalf in BotFA? I suspect the Moth may answer two calls of deployment, one to call in transport for Gandalf from Dol Guldur, and then to call in the flight squadron at the end of That Day. Twice, a good encore for the unsung hero of PJ's ME films. No one else can lay claim to making a Maia jump where and when.
Fan of both books and movies; I am a lurker by nature though it seems I have severely misnamed myself... for the moment. Thranduil Appreciation Tis true: more appreciation threads for Thranduil exist than ME movies. Threadcount: XII Thrall Wars!: What business do Elves, Dwarves or Men(?) have with drooling thralls, yea, with smartphones in tow, unto the slopes of Erebor? ... oh, yes, the Hobbit's lingering in some shadows, ever ready to swoop to the hairy rescue. Take cover if you dare!.

Certainly goes against some PETA rules or something.
"I am afraid it is only too likely to be true what you say about the critics and the public. I am dreading the publication for it will be impossible not to mind what is said. I have exposed my heart to be shot at." J.R.R. Tolkien We all have our hearts and minds one way or another invested in these books and movies. So we all mind and should show the necessary respect.

Is a wizard's blight It says good-bye And refuses to fly It jeers at fate And makes eagles late So pay its bill Or Mordor will.

Bravo, Elarie!
So pay its bill Or Mordor will. That's dangerous. Though, how's the Moth gonna collect without swipe risk? Talk about occupational hazard.

It would be nice to have an Explanation?

Maybe PJFWPB will Finally explain the Moth Mystery? Is it Radagast in LOTR? Why a Moth in the First place? Bomby Believezz that the Writerzz will Finally explain AFTER the Third movie comes out... May it BE? in the commentaries of the EE of BOT5A next year? OR May it BE? Raddy does turn into a Moth Right before our eyes & Flitterz away..Near the End? Some mysteries might stay unsolved, BUT it iz Perplexing?? bom

But the scene we didn't see and probably won't....

... takes place in the quiet, leafy corner of Rhosgobel where the moth lives with its kin. Third moth on the right: Don't look now, he's coming back. Second moth: Oh no, he isn't, is he? Can we pretend to be asleep? *Loud snores from the caterpillars..... WITHER THE MOTH: Listen everyone - you'll never guess... Third moth: Yeah, right - who have you saved this time? WITHER THE MOTH: No, I did, I really did. there was this wizard, you see, and all the trees were on fire, and he whispered.... *At this point his voice is drowned out by loud cat calls, whistles and jeers, and squeaks from the caterpillars, the moth blasts himself off to Bermuda for a well-earned rest, and Gandalf is left to manage by himself. (Well, didn't you wonder where his little friend was when he was shut up in that cage....?) psst.... how did you know the moth's name was Wither?
